On the surface of the ocher-colored boulder, a little red light shone quietly. Initially, the light was only the size of a firefly, but in an instant it covered the entire boulder, even reaching the point where the boulder could no longer bear it.
Seeing the light flashing on the test stone, not only the expression of the supervisor standing on one side was dull, but everyone in the audience was also stunned.
Everyone in the audience has watched this kind of test at least a thousand times, but so far, this is the first time they have seen the test stone bloom with a dazzling light comparable to a star.
In fact, not only everyone in the audience was shocked, but the supervisor elder also stood blankly on the spot. He has been in the position of supervising the test for decades, but he dared to swear that from the day he became the supervisor elder
, I have never seen a test stone emit such a dazzling light.
The elder overseer's eyes slowly moved up and stayed at the digital display position above the boulder. When he saw the huge seven characters appearing on the surface of the boulder, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
"Ye Feng, Soul of the Sword..." The supervisor wanted to announce the test results in a routine manner. But when it came to the level, he stopped.
How is it possible that the Soul of the Sword is at level 7? The supervising elder knows very well that the Soul of the Sword at level 7 means that Ye Feng has at least the strength of a second-level swordsman. Not to mention the environment in the outer courtyard, it is impossible to cultivate a second-level swordsman. Looking at it,
There are very few disciples who have been in the inner courtyard for three years and can reach the seventh level of Sword Soul.
The elder supervisor suddenly stopped talking, causing everyone in the audience to burst into uproar. Everyone's eyes were focused on the numbers above the test stone, and their expressions were as wonderful as seeing a ghost.
The bloody word "seven" was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of everyone present. Almost everyone had an idea in their hearts that the test stone was broken. If the test stone was not broken, what would happen if the test stone was not broken?
How come the number seven is displayed?
At the edge of the crowd, Lu Fei looked at the numbers on the test stone, his facial muscles twitching one after another.
He originally thought that with the sixth level of Sword Soul, he was already the leader of the outer courtyard, but now he found that he had overestimated himself. Although there was only one level difference between the seventh and sixth level of Sword Soul, there was a huge difference between them.
The geographical distinction cannot be divided by one level.
If a sixth-level cultivator and a seventh-level cultivator of Sword Soul practice a sword skill at the same time, the sixth-level cultivator can at most practice the sword skill to the beginning, while the seventh-level cultivator can cultivate it to a proficient level.
Looking at Ye Feng, whose face was as calm as water, and who had never even glanced at the test stone data from beginning to end, Lu Fei took several breaths of cold air, and then a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
The main reason why he has been reluctant to enter the inner court, apart from wanting to enter there as a swordsman, is that he wants to realize his dream and win the title of number one in the outer court.
But now, the appearance of Ye Feng has become the biggest obstacle for him to win the championship. Even for the sake of his long-cherished wish, he still has to fight with Ye Feng.
In the center of the crowd, Lin Huaiyu stared at the test stone in stunned silence, his eyes full of panic. He had already guessed that Ye Feng was very powerful, but he never expected that his strength would reach the level of a second-level swordsman.
That is a second-level swordsman. Even in the inner court, such a person can be ranked among the top three hundred on the master list.
At this moment, Lin Huaiyu also felt murderous intent rising in his heart. He could not allow an enemy to thrive. Even in order to avoid trouble in the future, he would strangle this powerful enemy in the cradle.
The long silence in the square attracted the attention of three elders from the foreign dean behind the supervision desk.
These three elders are the most powerful and respected figures in the outer court. The reason why they came here today is to see what geniuses can emerge from the outer court this year.
Finding that the atmosphere in the square was so quiet that it was almost eerie, the three elders couldn't help but be stunned. The eldest elder Yu He coughed hard several times, trying to break the tranquility.
However, when his voice fell, he was surprised to find that his cough mixed with vitality still failed to wake everyone up.
"What exactly happened?" Yu He speculated in his heart, walking slowly from behind the test bench to the front.
Yu He's face suddenly froze as his eyes shifted from the dull-looking supervisor elder to the testing stone.
"Level seven, the soul of the sword is level seven!" Yu He muttered in a low voice, and then suddenly focused his eyes on Ye Feng.
"This person who has reached such a level of cultivation is actually Ye Feng!" For a moment, Yu He felt so mixed in his heart that he didn't know what to say.
Ye Feng entered the Lishui Sword Sect at the age of eight, and it was he who personally approved it. Originally, he thought that Ye Feng would definitely become a miracle that would shock the inner courtyard of the Lishui Sword Sect, but he did not expect that in the past ten years, Ye Feng's performance was even worse than that of ordinary disciples.
Not as good as anything.
In fact, Yu He had given up on Ye Feng five years ago. But he didn't expect that the very person he had given up and forgotten would shock him once again.
"Ten years." Yu He felt unhappy when he thought that he had given up paying attention to Ye Feng in the second year he entered the sect.
"Lao Si, announce the test results." Yu He said in a low voice.
At Yu He's reminder, the elder supervisor's body suddenly trembled and he recovered from the shock.
He turned around, faced everyone in the audience, and read loudly: "Ye Feng, Sword Soul Level 7, Level 2 Swordsman."
After the overseer elder finished reading, there was no cheering from the audience.
In fact, it's not that these people don't want to cheer, but that they don't know what to do. Thinking of their previous attitude towards Ye Feng, this group of people felt even more embarrassed than Yu and Yu.
On the high platform, when Ye Feng heard the announcement from the supervisor elder, the corners of his mouth turned up and he smiled slightly.
He cupped his fists at the supervising elder, bowed slightly, and said, "Elder, excuse me."
Having said this, Ye Feng jumped off the high platform. The moment he jumped, not only the eyes of the supervising elder lit up, but also a bright light flashed in the eyes of the great elder Yu He.
"Ye Feng not only cultivated the soul of the sword to the seventh level, but also learned a movement technique on his own." Yu He said secretly in his heart. With his eyesight, he could tell at a glance that Ye Feng's movement skills were almost at the level.
Above the level, but he really couldn't figure out what kind of powerful talent Ye Feng had, so that he could become a self-taught person, and he could even practice level-level body movements to the point of proficiency.
Ye Feng's figure like lightning fell into everyone's eyes, which shocked everyone present. Although many outer courtyard disciples could not see the fame from Ye Feng's figure, they still knew that after seeing Ye Feng's unparalleled speed,
It is an extremely rare body technique.
At this moment, everyone felt a feeling of envy in their hearts at the same time. Yes, they were envious. Facing a similar person who was so powerful that they could not surpass them, they couldn't even feel jealous, and could only envy secretly in their hearts.
After Ye Feng stepped down, the test continued. However, after the amazing performance of Ye Feng, a seventh-level Sword Soul master, the subsequent tests were no longer interesting.
The test lasted until the evening and finally ended. When the supervising elder announced that the test was terminated, the first master of the outer courtyard who had been late to arrive did not return.
Although the top master delayed the assessment, everyone knew very well that he would not be punished in any way, let alone kicked out of the sect.
The guy who was called a monster by countless people had acquired the strength of a first-level swordsman as early as two years ago. If he hadn't coveted the lax management of the outer courtyard and had more free time, he would have entered the inner courtyard long ago.
The onlookers thought of the monster and Ye Feng who had just shown super strength, and they couldn't help but murmur in their hearts at the same time. They couldn't deduce which one was stronger or weaker between Ye Feng and the monster. But one thing is certain, if Ye Feng and the monster
The battle with that monster will definitely be exciting.
After the assessment, it is time for the annual challenge. During this period, anyone can challenge a fellow student, and the person being challenged must accept the other party's challenge unconditionally.
This kind of challenge is the best opportunity to repay injustice and take revenge. Anyone who steps on the challenge ring will be beaten to death without complaint. Of course, under the supervision of several elders of the Li Shui Sword Sect's outer dean
, not many people really dare to kill their fellow students. Over the years, in the challenge competition, there have only been less than ten cases of sudden death on the spot.
After the elder supervisor announced the start of the challenge, everyone in the audience became commotion. Among the crowd, a disciple with a fifth-level swordsman cultivation level looked at a fellow disciple in the distance with cold eyes, a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
"Lei Ming, do you have the guts to fight me on stage?" The man raised his sword and shouted loudly.
The man named Lei Ming was also a disciple with fifth-level swordsman training. Hearing the opponent's challenge, he did not answer and just jumped onto the ring.
After standing still on the ring, Lei Ming turned his gaze to the person he wanted to fight, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
He held the long sword, pointed at his opponent from afar, and said in a cold voice: "Pu Yuan, you can go easy on me. I promise that even if I die, no one will trouble you."
The cruel words spoken by Lei Ming and Pu Yuan made everyone in the audience secretly frightened. Some people who were familiar with the two people were even more upset when they thought of the conflicts between them that had occurred due to jealousy a few years ago.
A slight chill.
Although the talents of these two people are not comparable to that of Lu Fei and Ye Feng, they are also characters selected into the inner courtyard. If the two really let go and fight for their lives, someone might really lose their life.
On the ring, Lei Ming and Pu Yuan made their starting stances at the same time. Like many disciples from the outer courtyard, Lei Ming and Pu Yuan practiced basic swordsmanship. However, even though the skills they practiced were low-level, the swords in their hands were both excellent.
Ye Feng didn't need to open the Eye of Qi to be sure that the swords in their hands were all top-notch murderous swords.
There are only a few simple moves in basic swordsmanship, which are nothing more than stabbing, picking, chopping, and cutting. Seeing the two of them going back and forth on the stage, their swords clashing and hitting, making a clanging sound, Ye Feng couldn't help but shake his head.
He has also practiced basic swordsmanship, and in terms of attainment, there is probably no one in the entire outer courtyard who can match him. With his knowledge, he can tell at a glance that Lei Ming and the two are too focused on resisting each other's attacks, and instead neglecting their own attacks.
If you only rely on basic swordsmanship to face the enemy, the best way is to use offense as defense. Only by unleashing an attack like a violent storm can you make a weak opponent vulnerable and injure him.
Seeing that he couldn't learn anything in the arena of life and death, Ye Feng decided to leave here.
However, just as he was carrying the package, turning around, and preparing to walk out of the square, Lu Fei appeared in front of him like a ghost.
"Ye Feng. I want to challenge you!" Lu Fei said proudly.
When Lu Fei finished speaking, not only the people around him were stunned, but even the two people who were fighting for life and death on the stage subconsciously stopped attacking and turned their attention to Ye Feng.
