Su Ming, who was originally a martial artist, was suddenly knocked away by Lin Yu's spiritual power, with a deflated expression on his face. His tone suddenly changed and he said: "Ahem, brothers, I was just joking with you.
"
"In today's harmonious society, and I am a handsome and good-looking citizen, why would I do such a dirty deed as smashing, robbing, and robbing?" Su Ming tilted his head with a silly smile on his face: "Aren't you going to go there?
Li Huo Sect? I’m also going to Li Huo Sect, and everyone just happens to be on my way, please come along.”
"Are you going to Lihuo Sect too?"
Linyu withdrew his spiritual power and asked with squinted eyes.
"Of course, maybe we will be brothers in the same sect from now on, and we must respect and help each other." The pressure of spiritual power subsided, and Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "I am the young master of the Su family, one of the four major families in the ancient city, and there is someone above me.
"
The two of them were completely convinced by Su Ming's shamelessness.
However, it is indeed possible to consider going together. After all, neither of them knows where the Lihuo Sect is now. If Su Ming guides them, they can save a lot of trouble, so they nodded and said: "Hmph, you'd better be honest.
Don't try any tricks."
Su Ming nodded repeatedly.
Of course, even with his strength, he couldn't pull off any tricks in front of Qin Shi and Lin Yu.
In this way, the three of them became companions inexplicably.
Along the way, Su Ming explained things about the Lihuo Sect to the two of them.
The Lihuo Sect was not originally located in the ancient city, but was located on Lishan Mountain to the north of the ancient city. This time, the location for the outer courtyard to recruit new branches was also set in Lishan Mountain.
The Lihuo Sect is very strict with the conditions for disciples in the outer courtyard. It is said that tens of thousands of people participate in recruiting new recruits every year, but in the end, only a few, less than a hundred, can successfully enter the Lihuo Sect.
Along the way, after a long period of contact, Qin and Shi discovered that Su Ming was actually not bad in nature. He was not the heinous playboy he imagined. Instead, he was particularly kind and honest, and could even be said to be a bit silly.
Previously, when the three of them were resting in the north corner of the ancient city, two beggars tricked this guy into getting hundreds of gold coins, and he was still smiling at the end, not knowing that he had been deceived.
However, Su Ming has a special characteristic, that is, he can brag.
Eight out of ten sentences are unreliable, and he is always willing to exaggerate.
The most common mantra: There is someone above me.
"You don't know, there is someone above me." No matter what, he came to kill him, and when he was about to leave the Fire Sect, Su Ming couldn't help bragging again: "You don't know, I am the eldest sister of the Sheng family,
I am working as an errand in Lihuo Sect, and I have already reserved a place for me."
"When we get to Lihuo Sect, I will protect you."
Having become accustomed to Su Ming's lies, Qin Shi and Lin Yu naturally didn't believe it, but selectively ignored it with smiles in their eyes.
Two days later, Qin and Shi arrived at Lishan Mountain.
When I first entered Lishan Mountain, I saw that the place was already crowded with people, so crowded that I had no way to stay.
"Hey, who was I then? Isn't this the cowhide brother of the Su family?" As soon as the three of them arrived at Lihuo Sect, they heard a few teasing sarcasms. They saw only three or four young masters in fancy clothes snorting with disdain.
These words were obviously meant for Su Ming.
Glancing at it, Su Ming looked gloomy and said, "Zhou Yunpeng..."
"Don't be so excited. Brother Niu Pi often says, isn't there someone above you? Haha, I want to see who is above you." The man named Zhou Yunpeng stepped forward and patted Su hard.
Ming, left with disdain.
Before leaving, Zhou Yunpeng glanced at Su Ming thoughtfully and said teasingly: "By the way, Su Ming, when the competition in the outer courtyard comes, you have to be careful to avoid getting hurt and alerting the people above you.
"
When they left, Qin Shi had the urge to laugh.
Emotions, Su Ming's sentence, "There is someone above me," has become popular in the ancient city.
But at this time, Lin Yu was quite serious: "Su Ming, who is that person just now?"
"They are all members of the Zhou family in the ancient city. The Zhou family and our Su family are the four major families, and they have been fighting openly and secretly over the years." Speaking of Zhou Yunpeng and the others, Su Ming cursed angrily: "Zhou Yunpeng is just one of them.
That's enough. On the surface, he is sanctimonious, but behind his back, he is colluding with male thieves and female prostitutes. Hum, this time I join the Lihuo Sect, I must make him look good."
After understanding the situation, Lin Yu rolled his eyes and nodded: "Be careful, he just revealed his murderous intention to you. Moreover, his strength is pretty good, he should have just broken through the early stage of the Spirit Sealing Realm."
"What?"
"Zhou Yunpeng actually entered the Spiritual Realm?" Hearing Lin Yu's warning, Su Ming became slightly serious. But at this time, Qin Shi patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? There is someone above you."
Of course, no one saw it. When he said this, Qin Shi's eyes flashed with an icy chill, and he thought to himself: "Haha, the spirit sealing realm? I want to see who dares to hurt my Qin Shi's friend!"
As time went by, the crowd grew larger and larger.
In the blink of an eye, nearly ten thousand people had gathered near the volcano.
At this time, three middle-aged men with high strength came down from the mountain in a hurry. The three of them stood with their hands behind their hands, looking quite noble. They were the examiners of the Lihuo Sect's outer court competition.
The three of them looked around the audience and finally began to arrange the assessment.
The assessment is divided into three rounds in total.
The first round is relatively simple. It is actually an audition. People who pass the ordinary spiritual power test and are directly kicked out if they are below the seventh level of the Spirit Tempering Realm.
At the beginning of the audition, the three of them took out a stone tablet for testing spiritual power in their respective space rings. This kind of stone tablet for testing spiritual power is very common. As long as spiritual power is instilled in it, the spiritual power level of the other party will be displayed.
In the first round of auditions, Qin Shi and the others passed easily.
Among those who successfully passed were the Zhou family and Zhou Yunpeng, including one person who aroused Qin Shi's murderous intention: the Huang family of Babao Town: Huang Kai.
"Huang Kai, I never thought you would dare to come!"
A cold light flashed in Qin Shi's eyes, and murderous intent surged.
After one round of auditions, nearly 10,000 participating disciples were instantly reduced to less than 300. You can imagine such a huge gap. Of course, among these 300 people, each one is the proud son of the big family.
At the end of the first round, the eliminated disciples left in frustration.
After that, the three inspectors, with the remaining more than 300 people, headed towards the Lihuo Sect. In the evening, they were arranged to rest on the Lihuo Sect, and the second round of testing would be conducted tomorrow.
When night fell, Qin Shi and the other three were sitting in the Lihuo Sect's courtyard.
"Su Ming, if you don't tell me, is your quota predetermined? As long as you enter Lihuo Sect, will someone come to pick you up? Why do you end up taking the test with us?" Qin Shi joked while sitting in the pavilion.
of saying.
"Don't worry, there's someone above me."
Su Ming was also unambiguous and said confidently.
At this moment, three inspectors entered the courtyard and walked towards Qin Shi and the others.
Seeing the inspector, Su Ming's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Look, let me tell you, there are people above me. They must be here to take me into the Lihuo Sect. Don't worry, I will wait until I enter the sect. Brother
Covering you..."
"Which one of you is Linyu?"
Unexpectedly, before Su Ming could finish speaking, the inspector had already stepped forward to ask a question.
Lin Yu hesitated, stood up slowly, and said: "Three examiners, junior Lin Yu, I don't know..."
After being confirmed, the three inspectors looked at each other with respectful expressions on their faces. Immediately, the three of them raised their hands and greeted Linyu respectfully: "Little man, please see Emperor Linyu..."
"Ahem, you three, just call me Linyu!"
With a tense look on his face, Lin Yu quickly interrupted the three of them.
The words were interrupted, the three of them thought for a moment, and finally nodded and changed their titles: "Master Linyu, I have offended you so much before, I hope you will not take it to heart. When the master learned that Master Linyu was coming, he specially asked me to
I'll invite you to come and get together."
"this……"
Lin Yu hesitated and asked, "What about the assessment?"
"Young master, you are joking. It is our great honor to have you come to our Lihuo Sect. The head master has already reported your name to the inner courtyard. From now on, you will be the inner disciple of Lihuo Sect.
." The three examiners laughed.
"Inner, inner disciple?"
During the whole process, Qin Shi and Su Ming were in a state of shock.
Hearing the words "inner disciple", the two met and jumped up. Seeing the two people's demented looks, Lin Yu smiled helplessly: "Shitou, Su Ming, you should take the test carefully. I
Take one step ahead of you, don't let me down."
"this……"
"I'll wait for you in the inner courtyard!"
From beginning to end, Linyu didn't explain anything.
After a few final words, he and the three examiners left.
When leaving, Lin Yu deliberately whispered a few words to the three inspectors. During the conversation, he raised his hand and pointed at Qin Shi many times, presumably to establish a relationship with Qin Shi.
Seeing Lin Yu and the inspector were about to leave, Su Ming came back to his senses, rushed forward, and said: "Three inspectors, I am Su Ming, Su Ming from the Su family of the four major families, do you have anything to say to me?
explain?"
"Oh? Are you Su Ming?"
"Yes, yes, I am Su Ming."
"Well, I've been told to take the test carefully, so go ahead." Unexpectedly, after the examiner laughed, he didn't say much. He just patted Su Ming on the shoulder, turned around and left at the same time as Lin Yu.
"..."
"Holy shit, what's going on?"
Looking at the departing figure, the corners of Su Ming's eyes twitched a few times.
In the end, he was still unwilling to give up. He slammed the table hard and said with a sad face: "Did my cousin's eldest sister make a mistake? Did she reverse my name with Linyu? It shouldn't be."
"Thank you for being able to think of such a thoughtless thing?"
After coming back to his senses, Qin Shi cursed angrily. After cursing, he glanced at Lin Yu's back and said in shock: "What is his identity? Even people from Lihuo Sect are so polite to him.
?”
"Xiao Yuzi, who are you?"
After thinking for a long time, the night passed quickly.
That night, the gap in Su Ming's heart was truly unparalleled.
But I had no choice but to accept the facts and participate in the second round of testing honestly.
Of course, Su Ming's self-esteem was extremely stubborn.
As soon as he got up in the morning, Su Ming patted Qin Shi confidently and said, "Shi Shi, let me tell you, I just don't want to go through the back door, for fear that you will be left alone and cold. Otherwise, the three examiners took me away yesterday.
gone."
"..."
"Hey, what's your expression?"
"No, I know, there is someone above you!" Qin Shi nodded repeatedly while suppressing a smile.
A burst of hilarity, preparing for the second round of testing.
This test was set in a barrier behind the volcano.
In the barrier, it is said that there are tens of thousands of wild beasts and all kinds of precious spiritual herbs. The assessment method is to determine who hunts the most wild beasts and obtains the most treasures in the barrier mountain in three days.
, who wins.
Looking at it, the second round of assessment is about to begin.
