There are more than 500 reserve disciples participating in the freshman competition. According to previous years, about 150 people will pass the spiritual power test. However, this year due to the additional variable of Chen Yuxiang, Yangzhou Courtyard all passed the spiritual power test unbelievably.
The strength test was carried out, so in the end there were nearly 200 disciples left.
The remaining 300 or so people were all eliminated. Nearly 60 of them were permanently disqualified from entering the three major sects because they were taking the test in the last year. They were dragged away by the deacon disciples, who had their skills and memories erased in an extremely cruel way.
.
The remaining two hundred boys and girls who were eliminated could no longer stay on the Golden Summit. They did not even give back the compound where they originally lived. Instead, they boarded the fairy ship directly and were sent back to various parts of Kyushu.
After these people left, the nine square formations became much smaller. Most of the remaining disciples were full of joy. After all, as long as they passed the spiritual power test, they would at least be outer disciples.
For most people, entering the outer gate is their greatest wish.
And for those disciples who have hopes of gaining a spot in the inner sect, the real test has just begun. The eyes of these young men are full of fierce fighting spirit, and they are desperately trying to encourage themselves.
The entire spiritual power test took less than two hours, and it was not yet noon when it ended. After the last disciple completed the test, the final ranking of each square array was also displayed on the test stone tablet. Unsurprisingly, the top three were Yangzhou
Phalanx, Yuzhou Phalanx and Xuzhou Phalanx.
The old man Su Rong pointed to the rankings on the Sky Shadow Stone and said solemnly: "The rankings for this spiritual power test have been generated. According to the rules, 10 disciples from the Yangzhou Phalanx ranked first can participate in the second test starting in the afternoon.
The second-ranked Yuzhou Phalanx has 8 places, the third-ranked Xuzhou Phalanx has 5 places, and the remaining phalanxes all have three places. Please come to the stage for all reserve disciples who have obtained the quota to continue the test!"
After the old man finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and typed a spell. The ranking on the Sky Shadow Stone disappeared, and a few lines of names appeared on it.
Chen Yuxiang followed everyone up to the high platform, and soon a total of 41 disciples stood on the high platform. Standing next to Chen Yuxiang was Xiao Zhuo. Xiao Zhuo smiled gently at Chen Yuxiang, and Brother Xiang nodded, not caring.
He now also understood the reason why Xiao Zhuo tried his best to exclude a few of his people.
In addition to Ma Xunhuan's instructions, the quota is also an important factor.
Based on its original strength, the Yangzhou Phalanx will definitely not be ranked among the top three, so there are only 3 places that can participate in the inner sect test.
This year is also the last year for Xiao Zhuo. Naturally, he can only succeed but not fail. Any potential threats will be infinitely amplified by him, so it is reasonable for the three of him to do so.
But now this problem no longer exists. What Chen Yuxiang is now thinking about is breaking the record again in the last two tests, so as to get a 10,000-point score.
At this time, Chen Yuxiang was very proud, but he didn't know that the danger was gradually approaching his Qing'er!
...
On the high platform, the old man Su Rong looked at the reserve disciples below and said: "Congratulations to all of you for officially becoming a member of the Wudang Sect! Now, the senior brothers will take you to take a supplementary bone age test. If there are no problems, we will send you away and go outside.
Let’s go to the disciples’ residence to rest. Of course, if you practice hard, it will still be possible to fight back to the Golden Summit in the future!”
After the old man finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the teachers led the disciples in their formation to leave the square.
Old man Su Rong turned to the 41 disciples on the high platform and said: "The content of the second test will be announced below! The second test this year will examine willpower. According to the questions drawn by the imperial court from the question bank, the specific test content is mountain climbing! Everyone
Go back and prepare, and gather here early in the afternoon!" After saying that, he and the old men carried the huge test stone and left the square.
Dozens of reserve disciples stood respectfully on the high platform without daring to move. After a few old men disappeared, they dispersed and ran back to their respective courtyards. However, when everyone left, they couldn't help but ask Chen Yuxiang
Take a look twice.
Chen Yuxiang led 9 Yangzhou disciples back to the courtyard. Looking at the suddenly empty courtyard, everyone couldn't help but sigh. As the recognized eldest brother, Chen Yuxiang naturally had to give a few words of advice, so he said goodbye to everyone and returned with Li Xuelan.
Your own yard.
…
Just after noon, 41 reserve disciples gathered in front of the main hall early. Waiting on the high platform were still a few old men in black in the foundation building stage, but they were not the same ones in the morning.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the leading old man said nothing, took out a palm-sized jade boat from his arms and threw it into the air. The jade boat quickly grew in size, and eventually became ten feet in size, suspended in the air.
The old man shouted coldly: "Come up!" He took the lead and boarded the fairy ship, and the other old men quickly followed. Dozens of disciples did not dare to hesitate and also jumped up in a hurry.
The old man cast a magic spell, and the fairy ship flew into the air, flying very quickly to the edge of the Golden Peak Platform, then passed through the mountain guarding formation and flew straight down along the cliff.
After leaving the formation, Chen Yuxiang looked back and saw a dangerous peak that was still piercing the sky like a sharp sword. Where was the shadow of any pavilion or pavilion? Although it was the second time that Chen Yuxiang looked at the mountain-protecting formation from the outside, he still saw it.
Still couldn't help but marvel in my heart.
This illusory formation is indeed of a very high level, and even with my own spiritual consciousness in the Mahayana stage, I can't see any flaws.
It took a full quarter of an hour for the fairy boat to arrive at the foot of the mountain.
Chen Yuxiang jumped off the fairy boat and looked at everything in front of him.
This is a huge valley, hundreds of miles wide, surrounded by tall mountains. Because the surrounding peaks are too high, this wide valley looks extremely long and narrow.
The valley was covered by dense forests, and there were obvious spiritual energy fluctuations coming from it, and from time to time, the low roars of monsters could be heard.
Golden Peak is located in the center of the valley, more than twice as high as the surrounding mountains. A winding staircase extends from the foot of the mountain to the mountain, disappearing into the clouds and mist.
Seeing this step, most people breathed a sigh of relief. The golden peak is high, but for monks, since there is this step, it is not difficult to climb up.
The leading old man pointed to the stone steps in the mist and said in a low voice: "Let me tell you the rules! After I give the order, you can climb the steps. Reaching the top of the mountain before noon tomorrow will be considered a success. If you want to give up, just give up.
Just smash the jade slip in your hand. Just wait until noon tomorrow and we will pick you up!" After saying that, he waved his hand, and a green light flashed, and everyone had a green jade slip in their hand.
At noon tomorrow? Just kidding, even a mortal with some martial arts skills can climb up. Is there anything strange about these stone steps?
While everyone was wondering while holding the jade slips, the old man suddenly shouted: "Start!" Dozens of disciples were shocked and rushed towards the steps holding the jade slips.
…
As the sun sets, the spiritual birds return to their nests.
In a secret quiet room in Jinding Peak, a girl with bright eyes and white teeth was sitting on a chair. Under her command, two teenagers, one fat and one thin, were placing pieces of intermediate spirit stones in various directions according to certain rules.
.
A slightly taller and handsome young man stood in the room, looking at the girl with a sad face.
Finally, after the last intermediate spirit stone was placed, the girl clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Okay! It's finally done! Brother Ma, please start it and try it!"
The slightly taller boy was Ma Xunhuan. After listening to Ning Zhongze's words, Ma Xunhuan followed the instructions and played a few magic formulas. The spiritual stones placed in various directions suddenly lit up, and the invisible spiritual power spread out, turning Jing Zhongze on.
The room was completely wrapped in it. But those spiritual stones suddenly disappeared.
Li Xiaoning, a fat young man, said flatteringly: "Senior sister, you are the only one among us in the Wudang show who has no magic power, but you are the smartest. Of the four of us, you are the only one who can come up with such a complicated formation!"
Ning Zhong said proudly: "This is called talent. This blue water formation comes from the Tanshui hexagram in the eighty-eight sixty-four hexagrams. Although it has no lethality, it is excellent for trapping enemies. Now this formation is enough
We can withstand the all-out attack of the Foundation Establishment monks. It’s a pity that we don’t have so many high-level spiritual stones, otherwise if we use high-level spiritual stones to form an array, even the attacks of the masters at the Golden Core stage can be resisted for a while!”
Ma Xunhuan took a deep look at Ning Zhongze and suddenly said: "Xiaoning, Xiaoxing, you two go out first, and I will have a few words with your senior sister."
