When Zhu Jiu heard someone ask him if he often worked so hard, he raised his head in shock.
There was a hint of curiosity on Su Xingchen's delicate and pretty face. She stood next to Zhu Jiu. Although her voice was cold, Su Xingchen had rarely talked to her classmates in the past year. Taking the initiative to ask questions at this time showed that this girl was in a good mood.
Zhu Jiu smiled on his face and replied:
"I am not so diligent all the time. I only pretend to be diligent when you are likely to show up to attract your attention. Do you think my method is particularly effective?"
Su Xingchen gently blinked his beautiful dreamy eyes and muttered:
"I knew you didn't have anything nice to say. You are still a middle-level cultivator in the Light Realm after working so hard. What a fool!"
Then he ignored Zhu Jiu, sat down in his seat, and waited silently.
The young cultivators in the same group came in one after another. Most of the boys would sneak a glance at Su Xingchen when they came in, and then quickly turn their heads. After a while, they couldn't help but turn their heads again to take a look, and some even blushed.
Zhu Jiu An found it interesting. He recalled that he was so inexplicably timid when he was a boy in his previous life. At that time, he seemed to like to secretly look at the most beautiful girls around him.
In fact, these teenagers were still young. They peeked at Su Xingchen out of pure love for beauty and had no other thoughts. They peeked uncontrollably many times, just thinking that doing so would make them feel more comfortable.
Zhu Jiu put away the books in his hands, and the sound of Master Chuan's footsteps coming in was heard outside the door.
The mage who came in this time was a middle-aged man with a strong build, a beard as thin as a needle, thick eyebrows and big eyes. Unfortunately, one eye was covered with a black eyepatch, making him a one-eyed dragon.
This Master was the teacher who taught Zhu Jiu and the others how to use spells. His surname was Li, and he was very good at fighting. Most of the combat spells he taught were cruel and cruel, and he was particularly harsh on Zhu Jiu and the others. Therefore, as soon as he came in, many young people became extremely silent.
Zhu Jiu felt a little strange when he met Li Chuanfa, and thought to himself:
"It stands to reason that today is not a combat skills class. Why did it change temporarily? Is there a special situation?"
Sure enough, Master Li Chuan stood still and said:
"Today is the day that you have been here for a year, hey! It is also the day of the annual assessment. The reason why I did not tell you in advance is to make you unprepared. The test is about the ability to adapt to actual combat. There will be no rewards for those who pass the assessment.
Those who do will be kicked out of the Dharma Cultivation Hall!"
Li Chuanfa's words immediately shocked many young people. Even though they felt the test, they suddenly realized that this test was not easy to pass. If they failed, they would no longer be qualified to stay in the Dharma Cultivation Hall to continue practicing. It was really cruel.
Li Chuanfa's next words made many young people feel trembling in their hearts. They only heard him continue:
"You have been here for more than a year, and you should know that your current group of Dharma practitioners were divided into twelve groups for examination a year ago. Each group has nearly a thousand people. Only those with special qualifications will be selected to enter the Dharma Hall.
Some groups may not have one person selected, while some groups have more people. What you don’t know is that the Dharma Practice Hall has divided you young people into four classes and studied in different areas. The total number is forty-six.
There are so many people.”
After speaking here, he paused for a moment and saw that most of the young people showed surprised expressions before continuing with satisfaction:
"There are also young people with slightly lower qualifications who were not assigned to the Dharma Cultivation Hall at that time, but who successfully passed the examination. There are more than 490 people in total. They were selected by the major outer halls. Hehe! You guys this time
The assessment is actually to give those who have not entered the Dharma Cultivation Hall a chance to make amends, asking them to come back and challenge you by name after practicing in the outer hall for a year. If they lose, they will be eliminated from the Dharma Cultivation Hall and be replaced by students from the outer hall who have won from outside.
"
The dozen or so young men had previously heard that there were more than 40 people in the Dharma Cultivation Hall and felt that the test was more difficult. Now that they heard that there were actually more than 400 people challenging them, their expressions changed slightly.
Li Chuanfa chuckled and continued:
"I can also tell you that after this year of practice, one of the people who was not selected to enter the Dharma Cultivation Hall has come up from behind. His cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and he is now at the peak of the Light Realm. If one of you meets him, you will have to count.
If you're unlucky, you'll probably be eliminated."
Many young people were shocked. They, the students of the Cultivation Hall, could only study the regular supply of new talismans from the Talisman Hall, which was far inferior to other places.
The guy outside didn't have enough talismans for the Consciousness Sea Talisman to devour, but he still broke through to the peak of the Light Realm within a year. This qualification is really far above everyone, second only to Su Xingchen, how can he not let this happen?
All the young people were frightened.
Li Chuanfa suddenly increased his volume and shouted:
"Okay, now you have a quarter of an hour to go back and bring your own demon corpses, and then gather here. We will set off to the Dou Fa Hall to prepare for the challenge."
More than ten teenagers stood up and hurriedly walked out. Only Su Xingchen stood still. When Li Chuanfa saw that it was Su Xingchen who was standing still, he temporarily retracted the words he was about to scold and asked harmoniously:
"Xingchen, why don't you go back to your room to prepare? You have to take the demon corpse with you. Although we cultivators are quite strong, the demon corpse is also an important help and should not be overshadowed easily."
After a moment of reflection, he said in surprise: "Could it be..."
Su Xingchen's sweet and cold voice sounded at the right time and said:
"I broke through the Mirror of Light half a month ago, and now I am at the lower level of the Unity Realm. The demon corpse can already be contained in the Sea of Consciousness Talisman, so I don't have to go back to the room to get it. I can pass on the method with peace of mind."
Li Chuanfa was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said yes again and again.
Zhu Jiu, who walked to the door, smiled from the bottom of his heart and thought with envy:
"This little girl, I saw her in the Dharma teaching class last month and she was still on the verge of a breakthrough. This time we met again, she has already achieved a breakthrough. It's really amazing." He then quickened his pace and quickly returned to the room.
A few minutes later, Zhu Jiu's group of more than ten teenagers and the other three groups of teenagers in the Xiufa Hall gathered together for the first time. After looking at each other with a little novelty, they each took the demon corpses and followed Li Chuanfa and other digital masters out of the Dharma Practice Hall.
The palace gate.
Zhu Jiu walked with Xiyang among more than 40 people. Xiyang had a particularly strong and sinister aura, coupled with his bright green skeleton, which was very eye-catching. There were many monster corpses of all kinds following many young people.
They all kept a certain distance from the sunset.
Less than half an hour later, everyone arrived in front of a spacious hall several miles away from the Dharma Cultivation Hall.
This hall is an open building with no roof. The empty space in the middle of the hall is built as a stone platform for ritual ceremonies, and is surrounded by seats.
After entering the main hall, Zhu Jiu looked around and found that this place was similar to the stadium he had seen in his previous life. The seats in the hall were divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower.
There are more than 10,000 seats on the three floors. At this time, there are many young people sitting in a small part of the seats on the lower floor. At a glance, it is obvious that they are the students from the outer hall who will challenge the Dharma Dharma Hall this time.
On the top floor, there were many older sect members with different postures sitting there. Zhu Jiu didn't recognize any of them, so he guessed they were middle- and high-level members of the sect who came to watch the assessment.
Zhu Jiu and the other students in the Cultivation Hall were treated differently. As soon as they arrived, they went straight to the second floor, causing many young people sitting on the floor below to look at them with envy and hatred.
Zhu Jiu occasionally saw familiar faces among the students on the first floor. They were all young men who had participated in the entrance examination with him. When these people saw Zhu Jiu, some nodded lightly, while others turned away and pretended not to know.
Zhu Jiuxin felt interesting and found that more people were looking at Su Xingchen in front of her. Indeed, this little girl was very eye-catching. She attracted everyone's attention wherever she went, just like a star.
