Half an hour later, Zhou Yuan arrived at his destination.
This open space is as big as several squares and is surrounded by mountains. The scenery is beautiful, and there are even hazy clouds and mist rising between the mountains and rivers.
At this moment, this area is already filled with dense crowds of people.
They were all inner and outer disciples who came to watch the battle.
"It's Senior Brother Zhou Yuan, he's here too."
"As expected, he's here. Let me just tell you. Elder Xingbiao openly accepts disciples. How can we leave him out?"
With Zhou Yuan's current influence, he already has his own aura. As soon as he arrived, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Most of the inner disciples admired Zhou Yuan, and they all made way for him at this moment.
Someone greeted him, and he responded with a smile without being too high-minded.
In the huge square in the open space, there are already more than a dozen silver-robed disciples standing side by side. Each of them has a high level of cultivation and an extraordinary momentum.
Zhou Yuan's approach attracted their attention, and they couldn't help but look sideways.
One of the young men with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes stared at Zhou Yuan as he walked, stars faintly blooming in his eyes.
"This Zhou Yuan has become very famous recently. Apart from not having a martial arts seal, he looks just ordinary. He is not even a match for Henry Zhang. That Henry Zhang is such a fool to be defeated by this person.
"
The young man has wide ears and a little cinnabar between his eyebrows. He is Fan Shaofei who is number one on the core list.
He looked at Zhou Yuan, his eyes flashing coldly, his face full of disdain.
Zhou Yuan could clearly feel the unkindness in the other person's eyes, but he didn't care and went straight to stand next to Qingmu You and Sanyan. On the other side were Jing He and others.
There are only eighteen disciples in the entire core mountain peak.
Today, there are only fourteen people here to participate in Elder Xingbiao’s public recruitment of disciples.
This shows that there are still four core disciples who know that their strength is not as good as others and directly choose to give up.
"Junior brother Zhou Yuan, I hope you will be merciful during the competition later."
"Yes, junior brother, we are probably no match for you. It's best to be gentle when the time comes and give us more opportunities to perform."
Qingmu You, Sanyan, Jing He and others all got close to Zhou Yuan.
"We are all in the same circle. Naturally, I won't do anything to you. It's just Senior Brother Aokiyou. You are the second-ranked person on the core list. It would be great if you can show mercy to me. How can you have the nerve to let me
Show mercy to you?"
Zhou Yuan glanced at Aoki You with strange eyes.
Zhou Yuan killed Xiao Yang, who was ranked third on the core list, but this does not mean that he will be Aoki You's opponent.
Moreover, the apprenticeship competition is all about trying your best to express yourself in front of the elders, and at the same time, you also need to know how to give up when you are ready, and you will not fight to the death like a life and death arena.
"Ahem..."
Aoki You coughed dryly and said: "Your growth rate is so terrifying. I can't guarantee that I am better than you, but as long as I am shortlisted, anything will do."
After all, we are together and chatting is more polite.
It’s just that the conditions for being shortlisted are very strict. If you want to be valued by the elders and accept them as disciples, you have to rely on your own strength.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Not long after, four red streams of light suddenly appeared in the distant sky.
They are four red-robed star-marked elders with terrifying auras. They fly from the sky, their divine power is majestic and breathtaking, and their boundless aura fills the air, almost making people suffocating.
"Elder Xingbiao, a strong man in the spirit transformation realm." Zhou Yuan's eyes flashed.
As the saying goes, everyone below the transformed spirit is a mortal.
That's because only when one's cultivation reaches the terrifying realm of spiritual transformation can one be able to fly to the sky, escape from the earth, and travel around mountains and seas, which seems to be a mysterious and miraculous skill.
Such a strong man, carefree and at ease, cannot help but make many people yearn for him.
Not far away, the four star-marked elders landed on the ground and sat in the pavilions that had been arranged.
"In this public recruitment of disciples, each of the four elders and I will recruit one person. As a direct disciple, everyone must perform well in the future."
The speaker was one of the four Star Elders. He was a middle-aged man with a mustache. His small eyes were almost narrowed to a slit. On the cuffs of his red robe, there was only a blue star embroidered on it.
, which means he is a one-star elder.
At the same time, many people started talking.
Only four star-marked elders appeared this time, and among the fourteen core disciples, only four will eventually become direct disciples, and the rest will be eliminated.
The dozen or so core disciples all had different expressions.
There are few places, so the competition will be very fierce.
Everyone knows that there are seven star-marked elders in the Seven Star Academy today.
According to the number of stars on their sleeves, they are called one-star elders, two-star elders...seven-star elders in ascending order of seniority.
The middle-aged man with small eyes just now is the lowest-ranking one-star elder.
In addition to him, the other three people, a white-haired old man with a face as thick as a jujube, are the six-star elders.
The other person is a beautiful woman with gorgeous makeup and looks exceptionally graceful. She is a five-star elder.
The fourth person is thin, has a horse face, and has a cold expression. He is a three-star elder.
Apart from these four people, those who are not present today are Seven Star Elder, Four Star Elder and Two Star Elder. Among them, the Seven Star Elder, who is the most senior, already has a disciple, Zhao Wuya, so it is normal not to come.
The other four-star elder is Jiang Ziyue's master. Their master and disciple are traveling abroad and never return all year round.
The last two-star elder probably has no intention of accepting a disciple.
Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Among the four star-marked elders in front of him, he recognized the horse-faced three-star elder at a glance.
Yun Zheng is the opponent's apprentice, and he helped Yun Zheng target him before at Law Enforcement Peak.
Therefore, Zhou Yuan guessed in his heart that no matter how well he performed, the three-star elder would not accept him as his disciple, and he would not accept him as his teacher. After all, there had been a gap between the two of them.
"Please all core disciples participating in the assessment take ten steps forward."
At this time, the one-star elder with small eyes said again.
Everyone looked at each other and immediately took ten steps forward, getting a little closer to the four elders.
However, Zhou Yuan and others soon discovered something strange. Among the fourteen people they were standing side by side, only ten came forward, while the other four retreated.
"What happened to them?" Jing He asked in surprise.
Qingmu You said calmly: "They are all disciples ranked at the bottom of the core list. They knew that their strength was low, so they chose to give up."
Four people left, so now there are ten people left to participate in the public apprenticeship assessment.
The four star elders just watched indifferently and didn't pay much attention.
"This assessment is divided into three sessions. The first examination tests your state of mind. Now you sit cross-legged and practice the exercises to see how you can still calm your mind without relying on external objects.
The pregnancy is not chaotic."
The six-star elder with a rosy face and white hair spoke in a deep voice.
The next moment, a faint hum suddenly came from the surrounding world.
Everyone was shocked, and then they discovered that the open space under their feet was covered with various runes.
The runes vibrated and the magic circle opened, indicating that this first test was not as simple as imagined.
Among the ten people, Fan Shaofei, who ranked first, was the first to sit down cross-legged without saying anything, and then silently operated the technique.
The others did not hesitate and sat down where they were and started practicing.
The white-haired six-star elder chuckled and said immediately: "Everyone is practicing, the most afraid of being disturbed, let's see how you persevere under the interference of the magic circle illusion."
