Although the morning sun is not as strong as at noon, it still falls into the room domineeringly through the window.
It seems that no matter whether you are willing or not, as long as you do not choose to hide under the eaves, it will fall on the ground and on you without any objection.
Use its temperature to wake up all those who are sleeping.
Xu Qing slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at the light outside the window, his body seemed to absorb the call from the sun, and Xu Qing stood up as his energy and blood flowed accordingly.
After moving his body for a while, he pushed open the door, looked around cautiously, and walked away.
In the city, after dawn, everything is different from that at night.
Breakfast shops opened one after another, as did a large number of shops, and the crowd gradually increased, but they were still indifferent and hurried, as if everyone was living under tremendous pressure.
However, occasionally you can still hear the sound of children reading from within the high walls, which seems to indicate that there is still a certain order in this main city.
Xu Qing, who was walking on the street, thought of a medicinal herb called Twin Flower introduced by Master Bai. It was a strange herb in which light and darkness coexisted and were inseparable.
"Perhaps this is the normal situation in big cities?"
Teenagers tend to accept new things faster than adults.
This was well reflected in Xu Qing. It didn't take long for him to accept it all. He had a simple breakfast and asked about the time for the entry test.
People in the city seemed to be familiar with the entry test. After knowing that the daily test was at noon and the location, Xu Qing spent the whole morning observing in the main city of Seven Blood Pupils. This was his
Habit.
As he observed, Xu Qing also understood a little about the structure of the main city, but the time was too short, and the main city was too big, comparable to the size of tens of thousands of scavenger camps, and many areas were non-seven-blooded.
Tong disciples are not allowed to enter.
So it was difficult for him to observe everything at once.
But he also found a road leading to the city gate. After identifying the buildings on the road, Xu Qing looked at the sky and walked towards the testing place he had found out.
The entrance test place for the Seven Blood Pupils is located on the southern edge of the city, at the foot of the Mountain of Truth.
Further south are the seven giant peaks of the Seven Blood Pupils. From a distance, there are seven winding mountain roads, spreading different peaks among the green shade.
Here, there is a huge square. At this moment, the square is surrounded by a light curtain, blocking people from the outside world. Only those holding a token can enter.
When Xu Qing arrived, there were already dozens of people waiting around the square. Most of these people were seventeen or eighteen years old. Some of them were simple, some were luxurious, some were clean, and some were covered in dirt like Xu Qing.
They are all people who come from various places with tokens to take part in the test.
In the center of the square, there are three middle-aged monks standing there. The spiritual energy fluctuations in each of them have reached a terrifying level, which is stronger than that of the ancestors of the Vajra Sect.
They were chatting and laughing with each other while waiting for the test time to begin, but sometimes their eyes would fall on the disciples around them, as if they were weighing it in their hearts.
This scene made Xu Qing more cautious.
He was not good at sociability, so he quietly found a place, neither too far away from the crowd nor too close. While standing there waiting, he also noticed the testers around him who were the same as himself, and most of them had a certain level of cultivation.
In particular, there was a young man inside who was wearing a blue gown. He was holding a fan in his hand. While he was dressed luxuriously, he also had a handsome appearance. He was smiling and chatting, attracting the crowd of other testers around him.
“Let’s popularize it with everyone.”
"The seven districts of the main city of Seven Blood Pupils belong to seven peaks, and these seven peaks are good at different things, so they have their own characteristics."
"For example, the Seventh Peak manages the port area. It has great power and special skills. Therefore, its disciples have amazing combat power. They travel far away all year round and stay with the Forbidden Sea."
"Another example is the First Peak. Most of the swords of the sect are trained in the Phoenix Forbidden City, so each of them is an extremely ruthless warrior cultivator. They rarely go to sea. Most of them use the restricted area as a tomb, killing there, and killing there.
fall from the sky."
"These two peaks are the flags of the Seven Blood Pupils. There are too many people who want to join them every year. However, these two peaks are very strict in recruiting disciples. You don't choose them, but they choose you. Those who don't hold specific tokens,
Not allowed."
"As for the other peaks, although they also require tokens, it is a two-way choice. Anyone who passes the test can sign up. Among them, the sixth peak is weapon refining, the fifth peak is formation, the fourth peak is beast control, and the third peak is magical.
, the second peak is good at alchemy."
"But no matter which peak you join, before you become a foundation builder and have the right to earn income from the Seven Blood Pupils, survival is very cruel. Unless you are the core token owners... As for how cruel you are, you can decide for yourself after passing the test.
I can feel it.”
The young man smiled and introduced the testers around him while also observing them. Xu Qing, who was not far away, after hearing this, noticed the cruelty in the other party's words and the words "Seven Blood Pupils' income rights". He could understand the literal meaning of the former.
Meaning, he didn't understand the latter, and he was full of doubts in his heart, but this was not the time to think about this.
Now he is more analyzing which peak is more suitable for him.
"I'm familiar with the restricted area..." Xu Qing felt that the first peak was suitable for him, but he didn't know whether his token qualified him.
While he was meditating, bells echoed on the seven peaks in the distance.
The three middle-aged monks in the square no longer laughed and chatted with each other, but became solemn.
One of them glanced at the dozens of testers outside and spoke calmly.
"quiet!"
As soon as his words came out, they were obviously not high-pitched, but they fell in everyone's ears like thunder.
The boy in blue shirt immediately stopped talking, and everyone else became nervous and looked at the middle-aged monk who spoke.
Xu Qing looked calm and looked up.
"It's time for the test. There are three tests in total. Those who pass all will be given a thousand contribution points. They will be ranked first overall and receive more rewards. The first test is the alienation value in your body!"
"Now, come forward one by one, submit your tokens, and state your name. Do not conceal it. Violators will be severely punished if found out!"
As the middle-aged monk spoke, the boy in blue shirt rolled his eyes and was the first to walk onto the square, handed over the token in his hand, and spoke loudly.
"Disciple Zhou Qingpeng, pay homage to senior."
His voice was loud and fell into the ears of the three middle-aged monks, and they all nodded.
Then the second person came forward, and soon when there were still six people left, Xu Qing walked onto the square and handed over the token respectfully. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke in a deep voice.
"Disciple Xu Qing, pay homage to senior."
After saying this, Xu Qing felt a little dazed. He had not told anyone his name for a long, long time. To be precise, it had been almost seven years.
After finishing speaking at this moment, Xu Qing bowed his head and backed away silently.
The three middle-aged men glanced at the token he handed over and didn't pay much attention to him.
In this way, when all testers have completed this link, the first test officially begins.
This first test was simple. With the wave of the middle-aged monk's hand, a green rock about one foot high appeared out of thin air with a bang and landed on the square, causing a cloud of dust to scatter in all directions.
"Follow the order just now and measure them one by one, just put your hand on them."
Zhou Qingpeng immediately went up.
Xu Qing paid attention and saw that after the opponent's hand pressed on the stone, the blue stone suddenly shone with light, and a pattern of a human body appeared on its surface.
More than forty dots lit up in this pattern.
"Forty-two points, yes, passed." The middle-aged monk on the side nodded and called the next person.
Zhou Qingpeng looked a little proud and took a few steps back to observe the others closely.
Soon, as everyone tested it one after another, Xu Qing also saw some clues.
The more points there are, the greater the alienation value in the body is. Several people exceeded 100 and were evaluated as unqualified.
"I should be the one without..." Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. He didn't want to expose himself without knowing anything about the situation on his first day here. This was not in line with his character.
But being too mediocre may affect the sect's choice, so Xu Qing looked down at his own shadow while hesitating, and slowly and subtly manipulated it to integrate it into his body.
As he continued to draw out the foreign matter, exclamations came from all around.
"Thirty-four points, excellent!" There was a hint of fluctuation in the middle-aged monk's voice. Xu Qing immediately looked up and saw a girl about his age standing next to the bluestone.
The girl's clothes were similar to his, her face was dirty, and she was obviously a scavenger.
She seemed very nervous, lowering her head and not daring to look at anyone. After bowing to the middle-aged monk, she quickly walked aside.
"She seems to be called Li Zimei." Xu Qing remembered the other person's name before, retracted his gaze and walked forward. When he reached the bluestone, he raised his hand calmly and pressed it on it.
As the light shines, dozens of light spots slowly emerge from the human-shaped pattern that appears on it, seemingly unstable and still flickering.
"Forty-three points, not bad, passed." The middle-aged monk swept away and nodded.
Xu Qing quickly retracted his right hand and walked aside. The foreign matter in his body that he had suppressed just now and was not absorbed by the shadow quickly merged into the shadow and disappeared.
Forty-three points, this score is not excellent, but it is not bad either. Xu Qing thinks it is okay.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Among the more than 60 testers, there are only 19 with points below 50, and 20 with points over 100.
These twenty people all looked pale at this moment.
"Three tests, based on the comprehensive calculation of results, the second test is your will, now all come forward and cross your knees to do it." The speaker was another person among the three middle-aged people. This person has a horse face, a solemn look, and a hoarse voice.
.
When the words came out, everyone came forward to cross their knees. After Xu Qing sat down in the crowd, he looked up at the horse-faced middle-aged man. He wanted to know how the will was detected.
The moment he looked, the horse-faced middle-aged man waved his hand and took out a small metal bottle. This bottle was silver and had a large number of runes engraved on it. While it looked very simple, it also contained some very special charm.
After taking it out, he and the two people next to him looked much more serious.
"There is a drop of blood in it that has been diluted countless times. Once aroused, it can act as a deterrent. If you can't bear it anymore, you can bite the tip of your tongue and give up."
After speaking, he opened the bottle and poured the contents onto the bluestone.
Xu Qing stared at it, and soon he saw a drop of golden liquid falling from the metal bottle. The liquid was very viscous and seemed to be its own entity.
The moment it fell and touched the blue boulder, the bluestone shone directly, and golden light suddenly covered it in all directions. A roar that seemed to come from ancient times erupted from the place where the golden blood fell in the bluestone.
Following the explosion, it seemed as if a huge eye appeared within it.
This eye has a vertical pupil, and there are countless tentacles inside, swaying outwards and trying to crawl out. It is extremely weird, but at the same time, it also has a touch of sacredness.
As if a god from above, looking down on all living beings, looked at everyone with incomparable indifference.
All the test subjects sitting cross-legged here suddenly felt a bang in their minds, as if thunder from the sky exploded in their heads.
Each body trembled violently, as if all the flesh and blood in the whole body had lost control. They each became individuals and were about to be separated from the body. As the feeling of tearing emerged, their expressions changed rapidly.
A tremor from the depths of their souls, a strong crisis from their life instincts, exploded crazily in their hearts, making each of the testers seem to have lost their intelligence in an instant. Three of them even spurted out blood.
Falling to the ground wailing.
Even Zhou Qingpeng and Li Zimei suddenly turned pale, their whole bodies were shaking violently, nosebleeds overflowed, and their eyes were bloodshot.
Only Xu Qing, although his body was still shaking at this moment, the shock in his heart was even stronger.
Because... these eyes are familiar to him!
It is not exactly the same as what he saw when the god opened his eyes and looked at the sky that day, but this feeling of intimidation is...
Exactly the same!
