Half a month later, the competition and assessment of the core disciples finally began.

Half a month ago, there were at least a thousand demon kings in the assessment palace who were preparing to participate in the Qianlong Mansion core disciple assessment. However, half a month later, there were only a sparse five or six hundred people left. It is obvious that here

Within half a month, a large number of people were either killed or traumatized and could no longer participate in the assessment.

On the day of the assessment, many strangers appeared around the Yue Dou Arena in the assessment palace. These strangers had stern faces, and their eyes were indifferent when facing the demon kings participating in the assessment.

They are the core disciples of the Zhuque Hall of the Qianlong Mansion.

Now five to six hundred people participating in the assessment have gathered together, which can be said to be a huge force. Among the core disciples of the Suzaku Hall, a middle-aged man walked out. The middle-aged man was wearing a Suzaku robe with three Suzakus on his chest.

The embroidery looked extremely red, and it was obvious that this was a senior core disciple of Suzaku Hall.

"I am 'Zhao Cong', a senior core disciple of the Suzaku Palace. I am mainly responsible for your assessment today. There are twelve battles in this assessment palace. You can enter any one of you. The person who enters only needs to defeat five opponents in a row.

If you pass the assessment, you will become my disciple of the Vermillion Bird Hall."

Zhao Cong stared at the people taking the assessment and said loudly.

As soon as Zhao Cong finished speaking, there was movement around him, and twelve lightning-like figures flew towards Yue Doului in an instant.

"Twelve ring masters are born, and the rest can go up to challenge. Only one person can go up at a time. In the fight, you can use any method, life or death!"

Zhao Cong's words continued to spread, "However, if someone steps down and admits defeat, the dominant side must stop immediately. Otherwise, the assessment qualification will be directly cancelled."

Twelve more figures flew quickly onto the twelve duel rings.

Qi Yu stood in the corner, staring at Zhao Cong from a distance. He felt that Zhao Cong had an extremely powerful aura. This aura seemed to have reached the peak of the devil. Qi Yu was shocked, "This Zhao Cong

Cong, I'm afraid he is at least an eighth-level or ninth-level demon king... As a senior core disciple of the Suzaku Palace, his methods are certainly not bad. If I were to face him, I might not be his match."

"This Zhao Cong is a leader among the senior core disciples of Suzaku Hall. His cultivation has reached the peak of the ninth-level Demon King. He is only one step away from entering the Demon King level."

A voice came from beside Qi Yu.

Qi Yu turned his head and saw that Li Zuole and Dewei were coming side by side. The person speaking now was Li Zuole. Li Zuole and Dewei came over, greeted Qi Yu, and then also greeted Dugu Zui beside Qi Yu.

They said hello... Even Su Mei on the other side of Qi Yu nodded slightly and smiled.

Su Mei recognized the two of them. Li Zuole and Dewei were the people who drank with Qi Yu and Dugu Zui yesterday. She was speechless towards these two bold people. Wasn't she afraid that Qi Yu and Dugu Zui would kick them out?

Obviously, Su Mei didn't know the strength of Li Zuole and Dewey.

"The peak of the ninth-level demon king?" Qi Yu was shocked, and at the same time he was wondering, why did Li Zuole know so much?

"Get out of here!"

A roar came from the duel ring near Qi Yu, and then a man with a beard could be seen kicking a demon king down. The man with a beard beat one of them, and his face was full of excitement, staring at the demon kings around him.

, shouted: "Now, who is coming?"

He defeated one person, and if he defeated four more people, it would mean that he could pass the test.

Qi Yu discovered that this bearded man was only a first-level demon king.

In fact, most of the demon kings around here are only first-level demon kings, and those above second-level are relatively rare. Perhaps, among the remaining hundred demon kings, there will be quite a few first-level demon kings.

"Whoosh!" Another young man stepped into the air and entered the fighting ring, but he was still defeated by the bearded man.

"Brother Dugu, brother Qi Yu, the four of us will be separated soon. Otherwise, it would be a bit funny if any one of us fails to pass the test..." Li Zuole looked at Qi Yu and Dugu Zui and said with a smile.

"It's natural."

Qi Yu nodded.

Although he also wants to know the strength of Li Zuole and Dewey, now is obviously not the time. If they want to fight, it will only be after they pass the first stage of assessment.

In this first stage of assessment, there should be nearly a hundred people left at the end. These nearly a hundred people will then need to compete, and finally the final ten people will be determined... These ten people will then compete again, and finally the top three will be determined.

The top three will receive generous rewards from the Qianlong Palace. In addition, they can also directly become the intermediate core disciples of the Suzaku Palace.

Even though these three people are less than the fourth-level Demon King, they can still enjoy the treatment of intermediate core disciples in the Suzaku Palace.

The core disciples of Suzaku Palace are divided into four types: trainee core disciples, junior core disciples, intermediate core disciples and senior core disciples... The treatment of each type of core disciples in Suzaku Palace is different. The more advanced core disciples can

You get more resources and even have some other benefits.

Soon, Qi Yu and the bearded man nearby defeated the five of them, and he successfully passed the test with the cultivation level of a first-level demon king.

"Those who pass the assessment will stand on the other side...those who failed before will leave the assessment palace through the main entrance!"

Zhao Cong's voice sounded low, echoing continuously in the assessment palace.

Soon, starting from the bearded man, one by one the demon kings passed the test, and the faces of these demon kings were full of excitement.

Seeing that there are fewer and fewer people, the dozens of demon kings who passed the assessment looked uplifted, but the demon kings who left the assessment palace were extremely depressed... Dugu Zui, Li Zuole and Dewei all walked away, and they went to find other fights.

After they left, they left the duel in front of them to Qi Yu.

In response to the politeness of the three people, Qi Yu just shook his head and smiled.

"Who else will die?"

Now, the person fighting in front of Qi Yu is a dwarf. Although this dwarf is short in stature, he is very strong and has the level of a second-level demon king. Not only that, this dwarf is extremely ruthless. He has already had four demon kings in succession.

He died in his hands, and now he was staring at the surroundings, with a stern look in his eyes.

Qi Yu frowned.

At this moment, the dwarf happened to see Qi Yu, and the arrogant laughter on his face instantly solidified and restrained.

He was also present when Qi Yu fought against Dugu Zui before, and he knew how terrifying Qi Yu was.

He didn't expect that this old man would actually stare at the fight he was in. Now he regretted being so arrogant just now. If this old man didn't like him and came to the fight, wouldn't he be directly in trouble?

However, although the dwarf was praying in his heart, his prayers were obviously useless. After seeing that no one came up for a while, Qi Yu moved up to the ring. He looked at the dwarf with an indifferent look and said: "You

Take action."

Take action?

The dwarf is stupid. If I take action, aren't I looking for death?

"I give up! I give up!" The dwarf was extremely agile and left the duel in a flash.

Give up?

The movement here naturally attracted Zhao Cong's attention. Zhao Cong had also noticed this dwarf demon king before. Although this dwarf demon king was inferior in cultivation, he had some methods. I am afraid that the ordinary three-pole demon king may not be him.

opponent, but now he actually admits defeat?

Zhao Cong's attention was focused on Qi Yu's second brother. He was very surprised. Is this fair and tender young man so scary?

But soon, Zhao Cong became stupid.

He found that after this fair and tender young man entered the ring, and after the dwarf devil surrendered, no one was willing to join the ring. Even the demon kings around him dispersed and went to the other eleven arenas... for a while.

, there was only one woman left around this Yue Doului, formally Su Mei.

Zhao Cong originally thought that this woman was going to challenge Qi Yu, but found that she had not moved for a long time.

"what happened?"

Zhao Cong is very strange.

"Senior Brother Zhao!" At this time, a junior core disciple who had previously served in the assessment palace came over and whispered: "Senior Brother Zhao, this young man's name is Qi Yu, because he is the same as the white-haired demon king among the assessors this time.

He became famous in one battle... I also watched his battle before, and I'm afraid his strength is not inferior to the intermediate core disciples of our Suzaku Hall."

"What?" Zhao Cong was shocked, but he knew the core disciple in front of him and knew that it was impossible for him to lie to him.

No one challenged Qi Yu for a while, and Qi Yu also had a wry smile on his face.

"Okay, you passed!" Zhao Cong looked at Qi Yu, raised his hand and said.

"Passed?" Qi Yu felt that this victory seemed a bit confusing.

Qi Yu walked down from the Yue Doului and signaled Su Mei to come up. At this time, a group of demon kings once again gathered around the Yue Doului... Qi Yu and the others were afraid, but Su Mei and the others were not afraid.

Everyone is eager to try it, but no one is ready to take the lead.

Although Su Mei is a woman, she is a three-pole demon king, and almost all the demon kings around her are first- and second-level demon kings. Almost all of the three-pole and fourth-level demon kings have passed the examination.

"I come!"

A lean middle-aged man entered the ring first. He was a second-level demon king.

"Drink!" The second-level demon king shouted in surprise, and a blood-red long knife appeared in his hand. Demonic energy rose around the long knife, but it was a low-grade magic weapon.

"Whoosh!" As this second-level demon king took action, a blood-red sword light appeared and turned into dozens of sword lights in mid-air. It gradually condensed into a lotus shape and whirled towards Su Mei. This was very strange.

Obviously it is also a kind of magic power. Judging from its power, it should be a yellow-level magic power.

"This magic power..."

Qi Yu frowned slightly as he watched the second-level demon king take action, "This magic power can actually condense dozens of sword lights into lotus flowers for attack. After these sword lights are divided and condensed again in this way, it seems to be much more powerful.

few."

When Su Mei saw the opponent taking action, she also moved.

I saw Su Mei's slender hand move, a sharp light appeared in her hand, and a narrow lancet appeared in Su Mei's hand, but Su Mei's lancet was obviously two times taller than the long knife in her opponent's hand.

quality.

"call out!"
