Qin Wushuang walked out without being high-key or deliberately hiding anything. He ducked into the crowd. Among the sea of thousands of people, everyone was chatting happily with their acquaintances. Not many people cared about Qin Wushuang.
There was a new face, and the occasional glances glanced at him, but they were all quick glances, without any lingering at all.
Obviously, not all of the more than a thousand people in the second hall master's lineage know each other. Most of them can only make a few classmates in their own small circle.
Therefore, Qin Wushuang's unfamiliar face is not so strange.
Qin Wushuang walked out with his front feet, and Tan Zhongchi followed suit with his back feet. When he stood at the entrance of the hall, his aura naturally emerged. It immediately acted as a mute.
The Qingyun Temple disciples who were whispering to each other a moment ago all shut up and stood neatly and quietly without even coughing.
However, almost everyone's eyes were filled with admiration after seeing Tan Zhongchi appear. Those core disciples were better off, while other senior disciples, and even junior disciples, looked at Tan Zhongchi with fanatical eyes.
This is the saint in their hearts, the pride of their Qingyun Temple lineage.
Outside, as long as others know that they are from the Qingyun Temple lineage, almost everyone is in awe. Even if there are some small conflicts or frictions, when they learn that they are from the Qingyun Temple lineage, they will smile and ignore the grudges. They do not dare to attack too much.
.
Because everyone in the Xingluo Palace knew that the second master of the Qingyun Palace was the most protective of all the elders in the Xingluo Palace and the least messed with.
Even the main hall master's lineage, in many cases, will not overly compete with the second hall master's lineage.
Tan Zhongchi glanced around, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"A year really flies by in the blink of an eye. Last year's Laba Festival seemed like yesterday. That's good. The year-end assessment is an opportunity and a challenge for each of you."
"The results of the year-end assessment are a test of your efforts in the past year, and they also determine your future and prospects in the coming year."
Tan Zhongchi didn't talk much. When he said this, he waved his hand and said, "I won't say any more unnecessary words. As per the old rules, the twelve core disciples, come into the hall for me."
The twelve core disciples are not surprised. This is an annual procedure. Master will talk to them individually to assess their progress during the year. He will also put forward some requirements and guidance for the year-end assessment.
Under the leadership of Zhou Fu, the twelve core disciples walked into the Qingyun Palace with the attention of thousands of pairs of envious eyes.
The disciples in the field all let out bursts of exclamations.
Qin Wushuang smiled calmly, because he had received the hint from Master's eyes, which meant to let him wait a moment. Qin Wushuang knew that Master wanted to give other core disciples some time to digest.
At the same time, it also gives him a chance to shine alone.
This is a good opportunity to establish a reputation in this palace and create public opinion. Tan Zhongchi will naturally not miss it. Through observation during this period, he has indeed cultivated Qin Wushuang as the successor of Xingluo Palace. He even has a vague feeling in his heart.
, and there is a greater ambition. This ambition is focused on the future.
As we all know, after the old generation of hall masters have called their last breaths, the new successors will inherit the position of the hall masters, and there will be a new ranking competition among the five halls.
His ambition is naturally aimed at the position of the future master of the palace.
However, it is known that he has kept this ambition in his stomach and has never told anyone, even these disciples who have high hopes for him...
Qin Wushuang stood in the crowd and listened to the discussions of these disciples.
"When can we also join the ranks of core disciples..."
"Hey, core disciples must realize themselves in order to be successful. Do you think you have the capital?"
"I don't have the capital at the moment, but you probably have no hope in this life."
Xingluo Palace is very strict in the selection and training of core disciples. To join the ranks of core disciples, one does not have to be innately qualified.
To join the ranks of core disciples, one must be innate.
But if you are born with talent, you may not be able to join the ranks of core disciples.
First of all, your innate must not be produced by taking ordinary innate primary spiritual pills. If you are an innate of this nature, you will live forever and your potential will not be very great, so you will naturally not be qualified to enter the ranks of core disciples.
Unless you are taking the top-grade Xiantian Primary Spiritual Pill, then you are welcome. Because the innateness created by the top-quality Primary Spiritual Pill is more rare than ordinary self-enlightened innateness, and has higher potential.
Even so, meeting the above conditions does not 100% guarantee that the position of core disciples will always be stable.
If you fail the annual year-end assessment, you may still lose your core disciple status.
Losing the status of a core disciple will not only result in a loss of status, but also a significant reduction in all aspects of treatment. As we all know, only core disciples are qualified to enter the most core training area of Xingluo Palace - the main peak of Lingyun.
The main peak of Lingyun is full of spiritual energy. It is the most abundant and core area of spiritual energy in the entire Lingxiao Mountain Range. It is also the place with the most opportunities, the richest resources, and the most likely place for unexpected gains.
How many ordinary disciples work hard all their lives just to get a core disciple spot, just to enter the main peak of Lingyun to practice.
This is only the basic welfare for core disciples.
The core disciples also receive other benefits that are unmatched by ordinary disciples. For example, they can return to the temple to see their master at any time. If they encounter problems, they can directly consult the master and have an independent secret room in the temple. These are all exclusive to core disciples.
Some benefits.
Another example is that right now, the first ones to be received by the Hall Master are also the core disciples. They receive guidance and tests alone. This is the special treatment given to the core disciples.
Even advanced disciples cannot experience these.
This is the gap, and it is also the biggest reason why all the disciples are trying to get into the ranks of core disciples.
Core disciples mean a transcendent status, which means that no matter where they go in the Great Luo Empire, they will be respected by others. When they return home in fine clothes, they will also be welcomed by everyone and attract everyone's attention.
…
In the main hall, the twelve core disciples stood on both sides, bowing and waiting for the master's instruction.
"Fu'er, you are the senior sister. Please tell me first, what are your ambitions for this year's year-end assessment?"
Zhou Fu thought for a while, then opened her thin lips and said softly: "This year's disciple's goal is to strive to secure the top three rankings among the core disciples."
"Well, this goal is more realistic. Except for Wei Yi from the main hall master's lineage, there are no core disciples from other lines that can make you completely powerless. Among the top three, you still have great hope."
After Tan Zhongchi finished speaking, he looked around at the other eleven people: "How prepared are you guys? Are you determined to hit the top six?"
His goal remained on the second disciple.
The second disciple, Lu Teng, is slender and taciturn, but his cultivation is recognized as the core disciple of Tan Zhongchi's lineage, second only to Zhou Fu.
There is an unwritten rule in the ranking of Xingluo Palace disciples, which is to rank them according to their strength and assessment results. Therefore, although Zhou Fu is the youngest, she has the highest talent and the highest cultivation level, so she became the senior sister.
When Lu Teng heard the master's question, his tone was concise: "Disciple, go all out."
Although there was no such grandiose ambition in his tone, from the persistence in his eyes, it was obvious that he also yearned for this top six spot.
Although, he knew that this was very difficult.
In the ranking of Xingluo Palace's core disciples, the biggest competition is the battle for the top ten.
The top ten rankings are fiercely contested almost every year. And it is basically a battle between the disciples of the five major palace masters.
Although the disciples of the elder Dharma King also have core disciples, they are basically out of the top ten. They belong to the kind of existence that accompanies the prince to study.
The real competition for the top ten occurs between the sects of the five major hall masters.
In previous years, the main lineage of the main hall masters monopolized at least four seats, and sometimes five positions. The other four main hall masters basically had one quota, and sometimes two.
Among the four lineages other than the main hall master, no lineage has ever occupied three places among the top ten core disciples.
However, Tan Zhongchi has such ambition this time. He wants to challenge and hit this record.
Based on his speculation, Zhou Fu will definitely be able to lock in the top ten spots. The only slight suspense is whether she can keep the top three spots.
As for the second disciple Lu Teng, it all depends on his on-the-spot performance. If he performs well and has good luck, he will be in the top six. If his on-the-spot performance is not good and his luck is lacking, then he may be pushed to the top ten.
Beyond the name.
Because at Lu Teng's level, among the disciples of the five halls, there are many beings who are close in strength and realm. The competition at this level will be very fierce.
As for the other nine core disciples, Tan Zhongchi knew that there was no hope for the top ten. He had no plans to be too harsh at all.
His hope this time was pinned on Qin Wushuang, this amazing soldier.
"Fu'er and Lu Teng, as my teacher, I hope you two can maintain your ranking last year. For everyone else, I hope you can go all out and try your best to be first."
"yes."
"Hey, this time, my ambition as a teacher is to hit the three top ten places!" Tan Zhongchi showed a playful smile, "Fu'er and Lu Teng, you were in the top ten last time, you must keep your places this time
.Others, try your best, the top ten is too difficult for you. But the top twenty, the top thirty, you must have your own position."
These disciples looked at each other in confusion. Since the master said that everyone should maintain their quota, why did he say that he wanted to compete for three top ten places? Except for Zhou Fu and Lu Teng, the others obviously did not have the strength to compete for the top ten.
Tan Zhongchi chuckled: "I know you have doubts in your hearts. Today I am going to introduce you to a new junior disciple. Three or four months ago, I accepted a new disciple for my disciple. I believe a few of you have heard about him.
It will be an important piece in the division’s plan to hit three top ten places!”
These core disciples all looked suspicious and looked around. Apparently they still didn't understand why the new junior disciples wanted to compete for the top ten seats among the core disciples?
You should know that among them, Zhou Fu, who was the latest to get started, has been getting started for more than ten years.
Could it be that this new junior fellow student can be more enchanting than Senior Sister Zhou Fu?
