Chapter 65: I once dreamed of beheading the primordial spirit
Chapter 65: I Killed the Soul in a Dream (Part 2)
In the blink of an eye, Song Zhiming arrived at the third venue for testing meridians.
The main purpose here is to test the human body’s aura, meridians and acupoints.
After screening the first two test sites, the number of people here is relatively small, about a few thousand, and the meridians test is relatively simple, there are no special testing tools - the silver-robed elder from the outer sect personally conducts the test, using spiritual energy input
By walking around inside the young people's bodies, you can basically determine the flexibility, width and plasticity of the meridians in the young people's bodies.
"No. 756 Yao Jing, third-class meridian!"
"No. 876 Yang Ke, sixth grade meridian!"
"No. 2243 Wang Tao, fourth-level meridian!"
"No. 178 Sun Nuo, second-class meridian!"
"No. 88 Zhang Shaoyang, first-class meridian, not bad, not bad!"
This boy from Zhang Shaoyang obviously had perfect meridians. The silver-robed elder smiled and nodded repeatedly, full of praise.
The meridians are divided into six levels.
The first level is the best, and they are definitely talented in cultivation, while the sixth level is at the bottom, below mediocre people, even if they can practice heaven-level skills, it will be difficult for them to achieve anything.
"Although I don't know what the physical attributes of this Shaoyang are, the quality of his meridians is already very perfect. He seems to be a little genius."
Song Zhiming thought about it and was full of expectations for the quality of his meridians.
He came to the silver-robed elder at the first test point on the right, handed over his cards, and Song Zhiming waited for the test.
"Well? Are you Song Zhiming?" The silver-robed elder looked up with a strange look in his eyes and glanced at Song Zhiming.
The Shushan Sword Sect is very well-informed.
Apparently, the news that Song Zhiming had super armor-like physical attributes had reached this testing site. The silver-robed elder was very enthusiastic. He stretched out his fingers and put them on Song Zhiming's wrist. An extremely soft and gentle spiritual energy slowly spread.
It was input into Song Zhiming's body.
"Huh?" The silver-robed elder seemed to have noticed something, and his expression suddenly changed. He raised his head and glanced at Song Zhiming, frowned slightly, and continued the test.
Gradually, Song Zhiming also felt that something was wrong.
For other people's tests, the results are available within a minute at most.
But when it was his turn, beads of sweat broke out on the silver-robed elder's forehead. He input spiritual energy several times, and his face changed again and again, but he didn't know what he noticed.
Finally, the silver-robed elder sighed and said: "Your physique... is really... strange. I can't judge... well, let's consider your second-grade meridians."
With that said, he carved the word "second class" on Song Zhiming's hand and handed it back.
"Thank you, elder."
Song Zhiming took the cards from his hand and withdrew without knowing why.
What does it mean to be a second-class person?
What's going on? It's impossible to detect the rank of his meridians, or did the silver-robed elder discover something?
Song Zhiming was confused and couldn't think of a reason.
"Forget it, don't think about it anymore. Second-class quality meridians are considered to be a level above ordinary people. With the addition of the previous super-A-class attributes, my path to cultivation will definitely be smooth."
Song Zhiming's confidence was firm and unshakable.
…
Near noon, Song Zhiming completed the comprehension test again at the fourth testing site.
Comprehension is Song Zhiming's strength.
He didn't hide it at all.
Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is the stupidest choice at this time.
Because the current performance will determine the status among the registered disciples of the Shushan Sword Sect in the future, and different statuses will receive different resources and techniques, so in order to receive treatment after joining the sect, Song Zhiming must now show himself to the sect.
The value comes.
The so-called comprehension test is actually a sword technique demonstrated by a nine-generation disciple, and then the tester imitates and learns it in a short period of time.
This is a very fair approach.
The sword styles that each boy needs to imitate are different, but the difficulty is basically not much different.
Zhiming just took one look and completely reproduced the sword style.
Moreover, the meaning shown in Song Zhiming's sword technique is no less than that demonstrated by the ninth generation disciples.
Such a monster-like performance shocked everyone's eyes.
Several silver-robed elders who were in charge of the fourth test site were shocked. After personally assigning Song Zhiming a rank of "super first-class understanding", they couldn't help but test several of Song Zhiming's sword skills. When Song Zhiming was almost
After completely recreating the sword style without much thinking, some people who originally suspected Song Zhiming of cheating were also impressed by Song Zhiming's monster-like understanding.
And the news about Song Zhiming's miraculous performance in the previous test finally spread among the crowd.
Every year at the Shushan Sword Sect's disciple recruitment meeting, some outstanding geniuses will emerge, and this time, Song Zhiming's name spread uncontrollably. For a while, even those who had never met Song Zhiming
Everyone had heard that such a stunning genius appeared and shocked countless test elders.
It is even said that some inner sect elders who rarely show up have begun to pay attention to this talented boy.
Song Zhiming followed the flow of people and came to the fifth testing site.
What is tested here is the physical fitness of the teenagers.
It is said that the current human beings in Dongsheng Shenzhou are all descendants of their ancestors in ancient times. It is just that it is too old and cannot be proven. However, in today's world and among all living beings, there are still some people with bodies in their bodies.
Although the bloodline of the ancient immortals is extremely weak, once it is stimulated, it will have terrifying abilities.
People with this kind of bloodline physique have incredible talents in practice, even far surpassing some super-A-level physiques.
These people are called "Bloodline Cultivators".
After they entered the Shushan Sword Sect, their first task was to awaken their bloodline.
And this fifth testing site is precisely to test whether the young people have the physique of blood cultivators.
The detection method is very simple.
The teenagers lined up and walked past an extremely mysterious sword diagram arranged on the ground one by one. The silver-robed elders on the side would record the reaction of the magic circle to judge the final result.
At the same time, because blood warriors are rare and precious, the final result of this test will not be announced to the public. It will be included in the overall score evaluation as one of the secret results.
Song Zhiming lined up and walked past the sword map.
There is nothing strange about this sword diagram. It is just a sword-shaped pattern carved on the bluestone, connected by some carvings as thin as hair, with wisps of mysterious energy flowing vaguely, like ripples.
, sweeping over everyone’s body.
Song Zhiming walked slowly past the sword diagram, not noticing anything unusual.
The silver-robed elder next to him always had an expressionless face and would not smile or shake his head at anyone, so there was no way to judge whether he had the physique of a bloodline warrior based on his expression.
This test passed in a hurry.
After Song Zhiming finished the test, he stayed nearby and carefully observed the sword diagram on the ground, but still found nothing. In the end, he could only shake his head and leave in disappointment.
…
The last test is the perseverance test.
For a cultivator, in addition to innate conditions such as talent and meridians, personal willpower is also very important on the road to practicing secret techniques.
Innate conditions do not determine everything.
In this world, there are many examples of people with extraordinary talents who eventually become mediocre, and those who are called wastes, who finally achieve great success late in life and become strong by relying on their unparalleled willpower.
The Shushan Sword Sect has been in existence for tens of thousands of years, and has accumulated a fairly complete and scientific testing system.
The examination of willpower is also one of them.
Similar to the previous method of detecting bloodline, what awaited the teenagers this time was still a huge sword formation.
The difference is that within the scope of this sword formation, there is a terrifying power of oppression. Stepping into it is like suddenly carrying a thousand kilograms of weight, which is extremely difficult.
The teenagers were asked to sit quietly and judge their performance based on how long they lasted.
This is indeed a good way to test your willpower.
A total of one hundred people including Song Zhiming were arranged in the No. 8 Sword Formation Diagram.
When the teenagers all sat cross-legged on the ground and got ready, the silver-robed elder outside the formation started the formation. Suddenly, the gravity of the ground seemed to have increased twenty to thirty times, as if an ancient mountain suddenly pressed on the back. Some teenagers
Unprepared, he screamed and was directly pressed to the ground.
After persisting for less than three or four minutes, some young men screamed and gave up and quit, while some even fainted and were carried out by the ninth generation disciples who were preparing outside the formation.
Soon there were only about 60 people left out of a hundred people.
Most people frowned, closed their eyes and struggled, and large beads of sweat poured out from their foreheads, cheeks, and backs.
Some people even bit their lips directly because they were overwhelmed, and streaks of bright red blood flowed out from the corners of their mouths, and their whole body made a crackling sound.
Of course, there are some people who are very relaxed. Their foundation is good, and their whole bodies are shining with faint flames, which is a symbol of mastering spiritual energy. Using the power of spiritual energy to resist pressure is naturally much easier than relying on physical strength.
Only Song Zhiming was an exception.
He was born with tough bones, and he definitely stood out among the teenagers around him.
Therefore, it is effortless, the expression is extremely relaxed, and there is still enough time to carefully observe the expressions of the people around you.
"Eh? Isn't this the young man named Zhang Ping? There is also Cao Yi, the first-level meridian!"
Song Zhiming suddenly discovered that on his right hand, sitting in front of him, was a young man with a bare chest, bulging muscles, and dark skin. He was the boy he saw when he took the attribute test and had extremely poor qualifications and was judged to have earth attributes.
Zhang Ping, the young Orion boy from Ding et al.
Perhaps because he hunted all year round in ancient times, Zhang Fan's physical fitness was stronger than that of other teenagers.
Under the sunlight, the bulging muscles are dark and shiny, like a knife cutting an axe, and full of power. This makes his performance in the sword formation diagram much better than that of ordinary people, although the surface of his body is also thin.
A layer of tiny beads of sweat broke out, but the expression on his face was not painful.
Beside Zhang Ping, Cao Yi, who had red lips and white teeth, closed his eyes slightly and sat cross-legged, looking calm and composed, looking extremely relaxed.
Time passes quickly.
The number of people around me also decreased one by one.
Two hours later, only ten teenagers including Song Zhiming, Zhang Ping and Cao Yi were left in the No. 8 Sword Formation. The others either couldn't bear the severe pain and chose to give up, or they fainted and were killed.
Carry it out of the array.
At this time, Song Zhiming also felt slightly strenuous.
As time goes by, the pressure in the sword array gradually increases. At this time, it has almost reached the level of nearly ten times the gravity.
Zhang Ping was obviously trying his best to hold on. His whole body was covered with beads of sweat the size of soybeans. His ordinary face was twitching and ferocious because of the severe pain. His lips were almost bitten by him, and there were streaks of bright red blood.
It flowed from the corner of his mouth to his chest. He supported it on the ground with both hands, trembling all over and suffering unimaginable pain.
Song Zhiming and Zhang Ping are the only two people among the remaining ten who can resist heavy pressure without relying on spiritual power.
Even Cao Yi, who had been calm before, now had a look of extreme pain on his handsome face. His white clothes were soaked with sweat, his body was shaking slightly, and a sky-blue light shone on his body.
Now and then, rely on your spiritual power to fight stress.
This is the real test of willpower.
Under such heavy pressure, every minute and every second is like an invisible knife cutting the flesh on your body. The pain is as severe as a lingering pain. It is simply impossible to describe it in words. As long as you have a little willpower,
If you relax, you will faint.
Snap!
A young man next to him finally couldn't hold on anymore and passed out.
The time for half a stick of incense has passed.
Snap!
Snap!
Four more teenagers fainted and died.
After another incense stick, only Song Zhiming, Cao Yi and Zhang Ping were left in the No. 8 Sword Formation Diagram.
At this time, Song Zhiming was also enduring severe pain.
The sword formation diagram seems to have undergone some kind of mutation. In addition to the huge gravity pressure, there is also a kind of aura pressure similar to that of a strong man, which directly affects the human soul. This kind of pain exceeds Lingchi's thousands of times.
It's like the legendary sea of hell. People with insufficient willpower will go crazy in an instant if they are exposed to such an environment!
"Unexpectedly... I still... lost to you!"
Not far away, Cao Yi, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes at this moment, looked at Song Zhiming, showing a look of extreme unwillingness, and then suddenly his body shook, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and passed out.
past.
It turned out that Cao Yi, who had undergone attribute tests with Song Zhiming before and after, had been secretly competing with Song Zhiming.
Unfortunately, he failed to persevere in the end and lost to Song Zhiming.
Immediately, four ninth-generation disciples rushed in and carried the unconscious Cao Yi out.
Song Zhiming shook his head.
Unexpectedly, Cao Yi actually regarded himself as a transcendent object.
It seems that his previous abnormal performance has aroused the vigilance of many geniuses.
But at this time, Song Zhiming was almost at the end of his strength.
From the beginning to the end, Song Zhiming did not use the power of mysterious energy, but relied on pure physical strength to support him. Just when he wanted to use spiritual energy to relieve the pain of his body, for some reason, his eyes suddenly focused on Zhang Ping.
on the body.
This Orion boy was almost turning into a blood man at this time.
Drops of blood replaced sweat, and came out from every pore of his body, pooling into plasma and smearing it all over his body. If it weren't for his body still trembling slightly, his chest rising and falling rapidly, his eyes still...
He was moving slightly, fearing that others would have thought he had passed out.
What a steely will!
Song Zhiming can understand Zhang Ping's persistence very well. After all, he is already fourteen years old, and his performance in the previous attribute test was very average. The possibility of entering the Shu Sword Sect is very small, and he can only rely on this last one.
Only if you perform well enough in the test that requires human effort to persevere can you win the last glimmer of hope.
Song Zhiming also saw that on the periphery of the sword formation, the hunters who had accompanied Zhang Ping were watching nervously, their eyes full of ardent hope.
Indeed, for these ordinary hunters, Zhang Ping's persistence represents their best hope, right?
Song Zhiming lowered his head and thought for a moment, then stopped insisting, stood up slowly, and walked out of the sword formation diagram.
According to the tradition of the Wenshu Mountain Sword Sect, in each sword formation diagram, the boy who persists to the last place will receive extra points. Song Zhiming could have continued to persist, but he was moved by the spirit of this ordinary boy.
Song Zhiming suddenly felt that he should give extra points to this struggling young man, which might help him enter the Shushan Sword Sect.
"Thank you... thank you..."
When Song Zhiming passed by Zhang Ping, a few words came out vaguely from the bloody man's bitten lips.
Song Zhiming smiled slightly: "Come on!"
After saying that, he strode out of the sword formation diagram.
The silver-robed elders and ninth-generation disciples outside the formation looked at Song Zhiming with strange eyes.
The other teenagers who were waiting to see the final result looked at Song Zhiming with a softer look in their eyes.
Because everyone could see that Song Zhiming was the easiest among them all and could continue to persevere, but he deliberately gave up the first place to the struggling young man.
"Thank you, thank you, young master!" Several hunters came over and thanked Song Zhiming repeatedly.
One of them, who should be Zhang Ping's father, looked like a tower in his forties, with dark skin and scars all over his body. As he spoke, he knelt down to thank Song Zhiming.
Song Zhiming quickly supported him.
…
When there were still three hours before dark, the entrance test finally came to an end.
A total of nearly 10,000 young people participated in the test that day, but there were less than 100 people who hoped to enter the Shushan Sword Sect. This shows how harsh and cruel this selection process is.
The eliminated youths were allowed to stay in the Shushan Sword Sect for one night and had to leave immediately the next morning.
The young men who were temporarily hopeful of being selected were entertained by the Shushan Sword Sect and introduced into the guest house.
On the second day, the test continued.
There are still young people coming from far and wide to take part in the Shushan Sword Sect test.
The same tragedies and comedies of life were repeated the next day.
