Chapter 277: The Assessment Begins (1)

Lu Ping stood in front of the mountain gate of the Seven Phoenixes sect. Now, a hole had been opened in the Mountain Protecting formation, and everyone could enter from the mountain gate.

Lu Ping was very satisfied. In the end, more than ten thousand people agreed to participate in the assessment and pay the assessment fee on the official website.

This proved that most people still had their own decisions.

Of course, there were still some people who quit. They were even smug, thinking that they had seen through Lu Ping’s tricks.

Lu Ping felt that they were right about this.

After all, if such people participated in the assessment, there was a high probability that they would be eliminated.

Lu Ping chose the Path of Truth, the Sun Flame formation, and the Killing Heart formation. These three assessment modes were placed in the sect.

He was going to conduct the assessment.

This cost him a total of 30 million star dollars. Although this money was also from the registration fees, the cost was very painful.

It was very obvious that the level of cultivation and aptitude in this assessment were not that important.

Temperament and willpower were the most important.

More than 10,000 people poured into the sect and constantly looked around, admiring the beautiful scenery of the sect.

Among these people, the one with the highest cultivation level was at the Golden Core stage.

Lu Ping didn’t inform anyone above the Golden Core stage.

It had to be said that the mountain gate built by Huang Xiaoqi was pretty good.

It didn’t lose out to any sect in the world.

The people who came to participate in the assessment slowly entered the mountain and gathered in an open space to wait.

Then, Lu Ping appeared.

At this time, Lu Ping changed into a green Daoist robe.

Although generally speaking, Lu Ping would be wearing jeans and sports shoes, in this kind of formal occasion, Lu Ping decided to wear formal clothes.

Even though he changed into a Daoist robe, Lu Ping still didn’t have any imposing manner.

He was too young.

Lu Ping wore a Daoist robe, which meant that he was a handsome young Daoist priest. Compared to those old Daoists with white hair and white beards, he was indeed at a disadvantage in this aspect.

However, at this time, Lu Ping’s cultivation had already reached the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

He had no choice. These few days, his disciples’ cultivation had risen, and they had forcefully raised his cultivation as well.

Lu Ping’s gaze swept over the examinees.

He smiled and said, “Today, all of you have come here. I believe that you all want to join our Seven Phoenixes sect. The Seven Phoenixes sect has just been established, and we are indebted to all of you for not abandoning us. We are here to acknowledge you as our disciples. Let me say a few words first.”

As he spoke up to this point, Lu Ping’s expression became serious. “As the saying goes, the grace given to one by the Dao is greater than the heavens. All of you have joined our Seven Phoenixes sect. I don’t care what your previous identities are or where you came from. Once you enter the sect, you will become disciples of the sect. You must clearly distinguish between your inner and outer relations. Don’t think about being a traitor. Otherwise, not only will the sect not tolerate you, you will also suffer the consequences.”

These words were right. Traitors had always been taboo since ancient times.

How could Lu Ping not know that among these people who came to take him as their master, there were people who had all sorts of thoughts.

He was not afraid.

With the system, as long as the master-disciple status was confirmed, Lu Ping had ten thousand ways to deal with them.

However, Lu Ping did not want to hurt himself.

No matter what, once there was a betrayal, he would not feel comfortable in his heart.

Then, Lu Ping said again, “Secondly, regardless of your cultivation base or aptitude, as long as you enter the sect, you will be an outer sect disciple. As for becoming an inner sect disciple, core disciple, or even a personal disciple, that will depend on your subsequent performance. Therefore, if you want to rely on your aptitude and cultivation base to reach the top in one step, don’t even think about it.”

For Lu Ping, what he needed to do at the moment was not to say how many experts he needed.

Instead, he wanted to cultivate a group of people who had a certain degree of affection for the sect and could contribute to the sect.

If their cultivation was too high, it would be difficult to control them. Therefore, he did not recruit cultivators with high cultivation bases who had signed up.

As for what the subsequent performance would be, Lu Ping did not say.

The final explanation would be given to Lu Ping. This would depend on the subsequent missions and the personalities of the disciples before making a judgment.

The people who came to take the test all had grim expressions.

No one dared to make a sound.

This was the first time Lu Ping experienced the intoxication of being in a high position.

However, Lu Ping quickly drove this self-intoxication out of his mind.

He smiled and said, “There’s nothing else. Now the test begins.”

“The first round! Climb the mountain! The two thousand people who climb the highest will be eligible to advance!”

In the first round, Lu Ping was going to eliminate a large number of people.

It was very cruel and realistic.

The Path of Truth had already been arranged by the system in a mountain peak within the sect.

The mountain peak towered into the clouds, and could be considered the highest mountain within the Seven Phoenixes sect.

Fortunately, the system had received the money, so it did a pretty good job. The stairs were at least a hundred meters wide. Although there were many people, they could still climb up.

Lu Ping divided the candidates into ten groups and set off three minutes apart.

Lu Ping had tried the Path of Truth. Unfortunately, even he couldn’t reach the top.

In terms of state of mind, Lu Ping could be said to be excellent, but that was all.

However, Lu Ping didn’t care. He knew that his biggest advantage was the system.

The people who came to take the test began to climb up one by one.

In the team, a little girl stood at the steps coldly.

She did not move from beginning to end.

Instead, she looked up at the others.
