One night passed, and on the next day, all the disciples came to the training ground in high spirits, adjusting their energy and spirit to the best state.
Today is the day that determines the fate of the next year.
A moment later, Lei Zhenshan, Lei Dongfang, Lei Wancheng and several core disciples from the previous generation also came to the training ground.
The core disciples of the previous generation were the same generation as Lei Zhenshan. Most of them were in branch halls or went out on missions, and many stayed in the main hall.
Since their basic cultivation is in the late spiritual stage, they have sufficient qualifications and merits, and their wives have become mothers-in-law for many years, so they all hold important positions in the Lei family and do not need to participate in the assessment like the second-generation children.
A core disciple of the previous generation stepped forward, holding a roster in his hand, and began to count the number of people. After confirming that all the second generation disciples were present and there were no omissions, he nodded to Lei Wancheng, the second elder.
The year-end assessment is presided over by the second elder Lei Wancheng, which is also the practice over the years.
Lei Zhenshan and Lei Dongfang sat down on the chairs that had been prepared for them on the sidelines. There were still a few empty seats, which were prepared for the guests of the Zhou family and the Yue family.
However, the Zhou family and the Yue family often do not arrive until the third day of the assessment.
This is because the first people to be assessed are the ordinary disciples with the lowest cultivation level, so they are of little interest. Only when the core disciples compete for supremacy will things become exciting.
The training ground has been temporarily divided into four competition venues, which can be used for assessment by four groups of disciples at the same time. Each competition venue has a core disciple of the previous generation as a referee.
In addition, there are two core children of the previous generation who serve as mobile supervisors and provide double supervision to strictly prevent the children from violating the assessment rules.
All the disciples were divided into two rows, standing on the east and west sides of the four competition venues. Lei Zhenshan and others sat south and faced north, commanding the entire venue with majesty.
Lei Wanshan walked forward slowly and said loudly: "Today is the day when the end-of-year assessment officially begins. I won't talk nonsense. I will announce the assessment rules first."
"First, the assessment is a one-on-one competition. It is purely about cultivation. No foreign objects are allowed, and no hidden weapons, treasures or elixirs are allowed to temporarily increase combat power. Anyone who violates this will be disqualified from the assessment. If anyone is prepared, it is best to do it now
Give up, lest it be too late to regret."
"Second, there are two ways to determine victory or defeat in the assessment. One is to voluntarily admit defeat, and the other is to be forced out of the field by the other party. If one party voluntarily admits defeat, the other party is not allowed to pursue, otherwise the assessment qualification will be revoked."
"Third, the last point is that in the assessment and competition, fists and feet are blind, and there will inevitably be damage. Therefore, when you compete, please try to hit it as far as possible, and don't be cruel. Or if you know that you are defeated, it is best to admit defeat in advance and save your repairs.
Prepare for the next competition for the sake of physical strength. If the referee or supervisor discovers that anyone deliberately poisoned the competition, or used the assessment opportunity to settle personal grudges, he will be severely punished as well!"
"Which of you has any objections to the assessment rules?"
He glanced at everyone with a stern look.
The disciples were silent, naturally there would be no objections.
Lei Wancheng continued: "Having said the rules, let's talk about the rewards. Due to the change in the assessment format this year, the rewards are more generous than in previous years. All the disciples who have not been eliminated in the assessment can receive twenty pure body pills and five pills.
Bu Yuan Dan, a piece of spiritual stone, three times the monthly material, if you are above the middle stage of spiritual body, or are about to break through the middle stage of spiritual body, you can also get a junior spiritual technique!"
Hearing this, all the disciples suddenly showed surprise. This year's rewards are indeed generous, more than twice as powerful as in previous years.
Lei Wancheng added: "If you can get a ranking in the assessment, in addition to these basic rewards, there will be more rewards, especially for the top ten. Every time you advance one place, the rewards will be more. Because the distribution is too large,
I won’t go into too much details, I’ll just tell you one of the rewards for first place, a set of Thunder and Light Techniques!”
All the disciples exclaimed in unison, especially the core disciples in the late spiritual stage, their eyes lit up even more.
"I have heard about the Thunder Light Technique. It is definitely a treasure among the low-grade ordinary exercises of the Lei family. I heard an uncle from a core disciple of the previous generation say that the speed of practicing Thunder Light Technique is twice that of the Combined Light Technique, and
Comparing thunder and light skills, combined light skills are rubbish."
"I've heard about it too, and the Thunder and Light Technique has a great bonus to lightning-type spiritual arts. If you practice the Thunder and Light Technique, and then use the Thunder and Lightning Technique, the power of lightning chain and other techniques will be doubled."
"Well, after all that, we can only watch it. It's a reward only for first place. We have no chance at all."
Xu You thought. Sure enough, there are rewards in terms of skills, but you need to be first to get them. It seems that the competition will be fierce. It is not only Fang Hui who stands in front of him, but also other core disciples of the late spiritual body.
But for the sake of the Thunder Light Technique, no matter what, he will get this first place!
Suddenly, he felt a little dazzling. When he turned around, he saw Feng Chen staring at him fiercely.
Seeing him turning around, Feng Chen sneered and moved his lips slightly.
Xu You understood what he meant: "You'd better pray not to meet me."
Xu You smiled faintly and suddenly remembered the first time he fought with Ma Rulong, so he extended his thumb to Feng Chen and slowly downwards.
Feng Chen's sneer froze on his face.
"Now I announce that the assessment has officially begun!" Lei Wancheng said loudly.
The voices of the disciples suddenly stopped.
The four core disciples of the previous generation slowly walked into the field and stood at the corner.
"Disciples Lei Rufeng and Zhao Yunfei, the first competition venue."
"Disciple Fang Zhongtao, Thunder Sword, second competition venue."
"Disciples Liu Dong and Lei Tianping, the third competition venue."
…
As the voice of a core disciple from the previous generation rang out, eight ordinary disciples walked out of the crowd and walked into the competition venue with slightly uneasy and nervous expressions.
The core disciple of the previous generation who was in charge of the referee gave an order, and the eight people began to fight against each other.
Xu You watched carefully and found that the strength of these eight disciples was the most average and average among the ordinary disciples. Among them, the children of the Lei family and the children of other surnames accounted for half each, but there was no bias.
It seems that this distribution situation is quite fair, he thought to himself.
As the onlookers shouted, the atmosphere gradually became more and more heated. After a while, the competition on the field became intense. All eight disciples used all their strength to attack their opponents desperately.
They know very well that the first ones to play are the disciples with the lowest cultivation level. If they cannot win the first game, the opponents they encounter will become more and more powerful. If they lose several games in a row, they will be eliminated.
.
But the roar of ping-pong could be heard all the time. These ordinary disciples could not use spiritual skills instantly, so during the competition, they even used their fists and kicks. You came and I fought. Anyway, as long as the opponent was forced out of the field, it would be considered a victory.
"Thunder Sword, come on, come on, beat him!"
"Liu Dong, work hard, cheer up quickly, if you beat him, you will be the winner."
"Zhao Yunfei, you haven't had breakfast, right? You haven't been able to perform a single spiritual technique for so long, so what's the point of competing! You should have retreated earlier!"
All the disciples shouted one after another, not only to cheer for their own side, but also to attack the other side. They were generally divided into two groups: the children of the Lei family and the children of other surnames.
This is also a "tradition" formed by assessments over the years.
The referees only paid attention to the competition situation on the court and did not interfere with the roar of the children outside the court.
This is also equivalent to testing the mind of the disciples. If they cannot withstand even the most common verbal violence, then they will not make much progress on the path of spiritual practice.
The competition went very quickly, and within less than a minute of incense, a disciple with a foreign surname failed and was defeated.
The children with other surnames all made sounds of regret, but the children with the Lei family roared with joy.
The boy with a foreign surname had a look of extreme frustration on his face. When he got outside the venue, he sat down on the ground and held his head in his hands. He seemed to be in a very heavy mood.
Several other boys with foreign surnames came over and patted his shoulders to comfort him.
The assessment does not mean that you will be eliminated immediately if you lose a game. It is just that you are in a temporarily unfavorable situation. As long as you adjust your mentality, you still have a chance to turn around again.
After a while, the other three battles also ended.
Among them, two children of the Lei family lost, and two children of other surnames also lost. It was a tie between the two sides.
The disciples who lost were all dejected, while the disciples who won quickly swallowed the healing elixir, then found a place to meditate, and recovered their cultivation as soon as possible in order to face the next assessment.
"Disciples Lei Chongxiao and Qian Xiangdong, the first competition venue."
…
The referee's voice sounded again, and the second round of assessment began.
Soon, in less than half an hour, five rounds of assessments passed, and ordinary children came on stage. After all, there were too many ordinary children.
Lei Ming and Lei Zhen also played once each. The two of them usually cultivated so-so, but what they didn't expect was that they both won the first competition, which surprised many of the kids with foreign surnames who were waiting for the two to be embarrassed.
I thought these two guys were bad enough, but I didn't expect there to be anyone worse than them... Xu You thought with a smile.
He was also quite happy that his good friend could pass the test.
Finally, in the seventh round, Xu You heard his name.
"My disciples Xu You and Li Dawei, the second competition venue." The referee son said loudly.
Xu You strode into the competition venue, and most eyes were instantly focused on him.
In fact, after defeating Ma Rulong, the young man has become a celebrity among both ordinary and core disciples. Even when many ordinary disciples call Xu You privately, they use terms such as genius, freak, or pervert instead.
So as long as Xu You appears on stage, he can't do it without attracting others' attention.
Li Dawei was also a young boy. When he heard that the referee arranged for him and Xu You to be together, he was stunned at first, and then his face turned green.
As soon as the referee gave the order, he waved his hands repeatedly and retreated to the sidelines: "I surrender, I surrender automatically, I won't fight with him... Why am I so unlucky to meet this freak? Could it be that this is my birth year?
The reason for wearing red pants?”
Everyone couldn't help but feel funny. They didn't expect that Xu You's first performance show would end with such a result.
