Chapter 4 - The Test Begins

This guy was only at the Law Enforcement Realm, and he dared to be so rude to his sect master.

Could it be that he had some sort of big background?

What surprised Wang Ye the most was that Qing Xuzi's expression didn't change at all.

If it was in the Myriad Beast Sect, an elder didn't even dare to breathe heavily when facing his sect master.

Li Changqing was also surprised.

He did not think that his old friend had a good temper. One had to know that Qing Xuzi had been an extremely bold guy in his early years.

Any young man who dared to be so arrogant in front of Qing Xuzi would be severely reprimanded.

But what happened after that shocked them.

Instead of reprimanding the young man, Qing Xuzi cupped his hands and bowed respectfully to Xuan Yi.

Qing Xuzi quickly explained to the sect masters present, "Ahem, sect masters, this is the most powerful elder of Profound Sword Sect, Xuan Yi. Elder Xuan also presides over the Sword Worship Assembly."

Then, he sent a voice transmission to Xuan Yi, "Elder Xuan, this assembly concerns the reputation of our sect. This time, even the old guys who hadn't come out for years have arrived, and they even brought their best disciples. Our sect can only rely on you to solve the crisis."

As the most fierce sect master of the south domain, Qing Xuzi was actually rejected by one of his own elders at such a big occasion.

He couldn't help but laugh bitterly in his heart.

However, with Xuan Yi's peerless talent at his age, his future prospects would definitely far surpass all people in his sect and even the entire south domain!

Therefore, even though Xuan Yi was rude to him, Qing Xuzi didn't dare to say anything.

Elder Xuan?

Wang Ye got impatient.

A genius elder? He was nothing but a junior at the second level of the Law Enforcement Realm.

His Myriad Beast Sect could summon spirit beasts to fight alongside with them.

He was confident that he could kill enemies with higher level of strength than his.

Countless geniuses had been killed by the green python beneath his feet.

A genius? Hehe, it was just food for his spirit beast.

On one side, Li Changqing's eyes flickered, and circles of ripples appeared in his eyes.

This was the Heaven Array Sect's technique, the Eye of the Void.

Eh? Bone age was 20, but his strength was at the second level of the Law Enforcement Realm.

The guy's strength was unexpectedly high. He was a genius that was hard to come by in a hundred years and had broken through to the Law Enforcement Realm at the age of 20!

In contrast, his beloved disciple standing behind him, with the help of the sect's Spirit Gathering Array, had just reached the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm at the age of 17!

It would be quite difficult for him to break through to the Law Enforcement Realm at the age of 20!

With this thought in mind, he looked at Xuan Yi with some appreciation.

However, if Li Changqing knew that Xuan Yi had broken through from zero to the Law Enforcement Realm in one year's time, he would be shocked!

Most importantly, Xuan Yi's breakthrough didn't rely on array techniques. The spirit energy obtained through array techniques was the most ordinary kind. Instead, Xuan Yi obtained the incomparably pure spirit energy from the system. These two energies were completely two different categories.

At this moment, Xuan Yi saw people glancing at them, either astonished or disdainful.

Although he wasn't a person who liked to show off, he didn't liked to be seen as a joke. Moreover, the sect master had begged him for help.

Hence, he stood up and said gently, "Fine. Since the sect master asked, I will host the Sword Worship Assembly. I now announce the official start of this assembly.

"Next, I will tell you guys the criteria for recruiting disciples during this assembly. There are three assessments involved. Firstly, test talent. Secondly, test the purity of the spirit energy. Thirdly, test the combat ability.

"Do you see the black stone tablet in the center of the practice field? This is the seven-colored profound jade tablet, which is also a testing tool.

"The process for testing one's talent is as follows. First, fuse your spirit energy into the stone tablet. It will give you a grade based on your cultivation level and age. There are ten levels in total, and each level corresponds to a grade. If your age is young and your cultivation strength is high, then it is possible that you are above the fifth level. If you're old in age and your cultivation strength is low, then it is possible that you are around the first level. In short, a high cultivation level does not mean that you are talented. It also depends on your age.

"If the stone tablet shows that you are at the third level or above, then the next step was to test the purity of your spirit energy.

"This process is very simple. Use your most powerful move and hit the stone tablet to make it glow. This seven-colored profound jade tablet will emit seven colors of the rainbow. Red means the lowest and purple means the best.

"The third test is to assess you combat ability. The sect will set up a mystic realm for the disciples who have passed the second test to enter. They will hunt demonic beasts in it, and those who kill the most demonic beasts with higher cultivation level than their own are the outstanding disciples, The sect elders will take them in as disciples.

"Of course, I will also take in disciples who perform excellently in the tests."

As soon as Xuan Yi finished speaking, the tens of thousands of disciples present were in an uproar.

It wasn't because this process was difficult, but that he would personally take in disciples.

One had to know that the last disciple Xuan Yi had taken in, Lin Yingxue, had been only a ninth level of Qi Condensation Realm disciple, but after she was taken in by Elder Xuan, she had reached the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm in a very short time.

And Wang Hu, who was taken in before Lin Yingxue was even luckier. He had been just a mortal, but under Elder Xuan's guidance, he had become a cultivator and was now close to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Most importantly, these two disciples had been outer sect disciples which were as lowly as ants in people's eyes before being taken in by Elder Xuan. Now, they were personal disciples of the most talented Elder Xuan.

They were like carp which had leaped over the Dragon Gate!

So this announcement made everyone crazy!

The disciples of the Profound Sword Sect were all rubbing their hands, ready to do their best in the tests.

As the disciples infused their spirit energy into the stone tablet, the pockmarked elder standing beside the stone tablet said indifferently, "Wang Tian, seventh level of the Qi Condensation Realm, age 17, talent: second level, failed.

"Liu Hai, fourth level of the Qi Condensation Realm, age 20, talent: first level, failed.

"Shi Hao, seventh level of the Qi Condensation Realm, age 16, third level, passed."

...

Some passed, and some didn't.

Those who had passed were happy while others were sad.

Seeing this, Bai Weiwei felt extremely nervous.

She had been half a step into the Foundation Establishment Realm, but now she had fallen back to the fifth level of the Qi Condensation realm. She didn't know what level would the stone tablet show.

Moreover, even if she passed the first test, the subsequent tests would still be fraught with difficulties.

Seeing Bai Weiwei's anxious expression, Ma Liang came up to her and said mockingly, "Bai Weiwei, if you agree to be my maidservant and persuade your Bai Clan to submit to my Ma Clan, I will persuade my father to go easy on your Bai Clan. Otherwise, your family will become a river of blood."
