Volume 1: Rising to the Top, Chapter 83: Why are you?
All the Gangwu Realm disciples lined up in the audience, and their faces were all filled with happy smiles, because their overall strength was much stronger than those Spirit Martial Realm and Dao Martial Realm disciples just now, and this assessment might be another show for them.
The first person to come to the stage was a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall, named Cao Ming, and after arching his hand to everyone, he directly stretched out his fist and smashed it into the drum face.
Cao Ming's face was full of confidence, and he actually hit ten times directly, and the drum also made ten sounds with his movements, winning bursts of applause from the audience.
Qin Yuang and No. 7 looked at each other and smiled, and both nodded slightly, the strength of these Gangwu Realm disciples was indeed extraordinary, and coupled with those spirit stones that were given to them a few days ago, it greatly improved their strength.
Soon, all of these Gangwu Realm disciples came to the stage one after another, and unexpectedly, there were more than forty Gangwu Realm disciples, but only eight of them were able to complete the assessment task in the end.
Among these eight people, there was only one person that caught Qin Yuang's attention, and that was a young man named Long Wu.
After discussing with Chen Yubai and No. 7, he instantly came to the same conclusion that this young man named Long Wu should have some mad dragon blood, and his strength must be good, because among so many people, he was the only one who struck the twelfth sound.
After all the assessment tasks were over, the Great Elder walked up to the stage martial arts platform and said to the disciples behind him who had passed the first round of assessment: "Disciples, you all know that the Tianque Sect has obtained a total of twelve places to participate in the Liaozhou Great Competition, and the three realms of Lingwu Dao and Wugangwu have four places in each realm, which means that many of you will be eliminated. ”
The Great Elder paused and continued: "But you are all the top figures in the various realms of the Tianque Sect, so we have temporarily decided to cultivate you for a period of time, and then conduct the final assessment after a few days, and only those who can stay at that time will be able to participate in the Liaozhou Great Competition." ”
After hearing this, the disciples all nodded in agreement.
The Great Elder nodded with satisfaction, looked at the group of Spirit Martial Realm disciples and said, "The most important thing to pay attention to is you, because we also have many Spirit Martial Realm disciples, but there are only four places, and our sect master and Qin Yuang must participate in the Liaozhou Great Competition, which means that only two people can be elected between you, so you must work harder." ”
As soon as the words fell, the brows of those disciples in the Lingwu Realm instantly furrowed, and there was an uproar among them, and they all began to talk about each other.
A disciple suddenly spoke: "Great Elder, I don't have any opinion on our sect master's participation in the Liaozhou Grand Competition, but why can Qin Yuang directly qualify for the competition without passing the assessment?"
"That's right, Great Elder, that doesn't seem fair. ”
"Qin Yuang is just a disciple of the Lingwu Realm, since he has joined Tianque Mountain, then don't go to Liaozhou Dabi to embarrass Tianque Mountain!"
At this moment, those Spirit Martial Realm disciples all agreed, but only a small number of disciples did not speak, because they had seen Qin Yuang's strength, whether it was beating those two Law Enforcement Hall disciples or fighting against Jiang Feng, they all saw it in their eyes.
Therefore, even though Qin Yuang was only a small Lingwu Realm heavyweight, they didn't think that they were much stronger than him.
It's just that when Qin Yuang and Jiang Feng duel, there were only some onlookers watching, and most of the rest didn't see it, so naturally they didn't know how powerful he was, and they were still shouting.
The Great Elder was slightly stunned, he didn't expect these disciples to refute directly, because only him, No. 7, and Chen Zhenbai were present who knew Qin Yuang's true identity, so this made him a little embarrassed.
After thinking for a while, the Great Elder had no choice but to wave his hand to the disciples of the Spirit Martial Realm, and said with a smile: "Don't you believe the old man's words? I said that Qin Gongzi is qualified to participate in the competition, which proves that few of you can beat him, do you need me to say more?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the first person to refute just now said directly: "Great Elder, it's not that we don't believe you, we just feel that it seems a little unfair to do this, even if Qin Yuang can defeat us, then at least let everyone see his strength, since he is a master, why hide and dare not make a move, if it comes to the Liaozhou Dabi, it will be our entire Tianque Sect that will be embarrassed by then." ”
I have to say that this disciple's words are very convincing, especially those who have not seen Qin Yuang's strength, and they all nodded yes.
"This ......" The Great Elder frowned, and was about to speak, but Qin Yuang behind him suddenly stopped him.
Qin Yuang smiled slightly, what this disciple said also made some sense, since they didn't know their own strength, let them show it and convince them, there was no need to let the Great Elder bother to speak.
Thinking about it, he walked to the center of the martial arts platform, faced those disciples of the Spirit Martial Realm, and then said to the Great Elder behind him, "Great Elder, you go down first." ”
"Good. The Great Elder hesitated slightly, not knowing what Qin Yuang was going to do, so he had no choice but to retreat to Chen Yubai and No. 7's side.
Qin Yuang looked at these immature Spirit Martial Realm disciples in front of him, and their eyes were all indignant, as if they had been wronged.
When he saw it, he couldn't help but be amused, so he wanted to call a few unconvinced people to come out, and he had a fight in front of everyone.
At this time, the disciples in the audience were all ready to leave when they saw the end of the assessment, but when they saw that such a thing suddenly happened now, they stopped and looked at the stage with interest.
Qin Yuang thought about it for a while, and felt that it seemed a little inappropriate to directly challenge all the Lingwu Realm disciples in front of so many people, because this was not only to make these Lingwu Realm disciples collectively lose face, but also to be a kind of infighting, so he shook his head.
At this time, Chen Yubai also smiled at him and said, "Qin Yuang, since these senior brothers don't trust your strength very much, then you can show it." ”
"How to show it?" When Qin Yuang heard this, he instantly smiled, Chen Yanbai was the sect master, and all the disciples would not refute what she said.
Chen Yubai scratched his chin and thought for a while, then said to him: "It's better for you to take an assessment like the disciples just now, and if you can knock ten times, you will pass." ”
Who knew that a disciple in the Lingwu Realm once again stepped forward, arched his hand to Chen Yubai and said, "Sect Master, this seems to be a little inappropriate. ”
"Oh, what?" Chen said to him, raising his eyebrows.
The disciple bowed his head slightly, pointed to the drum in front of the stage, and said: "Sect Master, one of us just now has a senior brother who struck twelve times, but even then he has to participate in the training and the next round of assessment, if he can only get the qualification for the Liaozhou Dabi through the next trial, if Qin Yuang can get it directly enough to knock ten times, is this still a little unfair?"
After hearing this, Chen Yanbai nodded slightly and looked at Qin Yuang.
"Well, in that case, I'll knock thirteen times. The corners of Qin Yuang's mouth hooked slightly, since these disciples want to be fair, give them justice.
But as soon as these words came out, the disciples in the audience were in an uproar in an instant.
When they heard that Qin Yuang wanted to beat the thirteen trial drums, they all leaned back and laughed.
Almost all of the disciples on the stage had already participated in the assessment of the trial drum, and they naturally knew how terrifying this drum was, even if it was all the spiritual martial realms of the entire Tianque Sect, the most powerful person among them only knocked out a maximum of twelve strokes.
But Qin Yuang hadn't even touched the drum of the trial practice, so he directly said a big thing, and everyone was smiling, ready to see his joke.
Qin Yuang's nostrils let out a light snort of disdain, and he walked directly to the front of the trial drum.
No. 7 behind him waved his hand and said to Qin Yuang: "Childe, this drum is still the test difficulty of the Gangwu Realm, let me lower it to the Lingwu Realm." ”
When everyone in the audience heard this, they all nodded secretly, indeed, this drum had just been tested in the Gangwu Realm, so if Qin Yuang came to beat it, it would also be unfair to Qin Yuang.
But who knows, Qin Yuang smiled disdainfully, stretched out his hand to stop No. 7 who wanted to come over, and said to him, "It's okay, No. 7, you go back." ”
"This ......" No. 7 leaned close to Qin Yuang's ear and whispered to him, "Childe, you are only the strength of the Lingwu Realm now, and it may be difficult to beat the trial drum of this Gangwu Realm, or my subordinates should help you adjust it." ”
"No, you just have to watch it. ”
Qin Yuang smiled slightly, and directly pushed him back into place, and No. 7 had no choice but to smile helplessly.
"Well, since I promised you, I will show you my hand. Qin Yuang looked at the audience and glanced at all the disciples.
Those disciples shouted instantly, especially the disciples of the Spirit Martial Realm, some of them knew Qin Yuang's strength, they were cheering for him, but those who had never seen his strength were cheering.
Qin Yuang didn't pay attention to those people, and directly rolled up his sleeves slightly, and walked directly in front of the trial drum.
When he was about to make a move, the Lingwu Realm disciple who was the first to refute suddenly spoke: "Qin Yuang, now that you are beating the trial drum of the Gangwu Realm, we will not embarrass you, as long as you can knock out nine sounds, we will count you as passing, and agree that you will directly get the qualification to participate in the Liaozhou Competition, what do you senior brothers think?"
Saying that, this disciple looked at the people in the Lingwu Realm behind him, and they all nodded, because if Qin Yuang really wanted to test the trial drum of the Gangwu Realm, it would be much more difficult than the waist of the Lingwu Realm, not to mention that many people in the Gangwu Realm had not struck the ninth sound, if Qin Yuang could, everyone would naturally be convinced.
But more people were disdainful, because they knew how difficult it was to beat the sound of the drum, and if it wasn't for the peerless genius, it would be impossible to do that, so they all nodded, but they didn't bother to say anything, because they knew that Qin Yuang would definitely fail.
Even so, those disciples of the Spirit Martial Realm could all agree that as long as Qin Yuang could beat the trial drum of this Gangwu Realm into nine sounds, they would directly agree to him to participate in the Liaozhou Great Competition.
But Qin Yuang smiled slightly, shook his head at them and said, "Senior brothers, since I have promised you to strike the thirteen sounds, it will be considered successful, even if I change the trial drum of the Gangwu Realm, if I fail to knock out the thirteen sounds, my qualification to participate in the Liaozhou Great Competition will be handed over to you." ”
After he finished speaking, people instantly gasped.
They didn't know how Qin Yuang had the courage to challenge the thirteen voices of this Gangwu Realm, but more people were looking at him with interest, because after he failed, they didn't know what the expression of the Great Elder would be when he said that Qin Yuang would definitely be qualified to participate in the Liaozhou Great Competition.
The audience was silent for an instant, and everyone was quietly looking at Qin Yuang.
Qin Yuang slowly rolled up his sleeves, directly stretched out his index finger at will, and slowly knocked it towards the drum surface with his knuckles.
"What! He used such force!"
"This ...... Why didn't this kid condense his aura first, did he think it was an ordinary drum?"
"Great Elder, I think Qin Yuang is despising our assessment level and blasting him out directly!"
"Yes, boom out, boom out!"
Before Qin Yuang's action was completed, a scolding instantly sounded in the audience.
Those who had never seen Qin Yuang's strength unexpectedly found that he only stretched out one finger, and he was extremely slow to prepare to hit the trial drum, you must know that this drum was set up for the disciples of the Gangwu Realm, even if it was the strongest Gangwu Realm, it would take all the luck to go all out, but Qin Yuang was so careless, could it be that he had already given up!
There were even many disciples who even turned around and walked away directly, because Qin Yuang on the stage was so casual that no one believed that he would make a sound from beating the trial drum.
Those Spirit Martial Realm disciples on the stage all hugged their shoulders, ready to taunt Qin Yuan after he didn't make any sound after he knocked this first time.
And No. 7 also sighed helplessly, and said in his heart If Qin Yuang listened to himself just now, it would be good.
Only Chen Yubai still had a smile on his face, looking at Qin Yuang with a confident expression.
Because since she had seen Qin Yuang's divine and demonic holy skills in Hutou Mountain a few days ago, she knew that his current physical strength might not be inferior to that of a disciple of the Gangwu Realm, and Qin Yuang dared to do this like today, so he must also have his confidence.
When at least a hundred disciples sighed and turned to leave, there was a deafening roar on the stage.
Boom......
That sound, like a morning bell and a dusk drum, instantly spread to everyone's ears, and even to the entire Tianque Mountain Range!
Everyone turned around in disbelief, and they saw that Qin Yuang's fingers were still touching the drum surface.
But no one would believe that the loud voice just now would be knocked out by Qin Yuang so lightly and randomly.
They all looked around, trying to find the true source of that sound, but the disciples in the audience saw that the disciples of the Spirit Martial Realm on the stage all had their mouths wide open, as if they could stuff an egg.
The hall was silent, only the melodious drums spread farther and farther.
For a while, no one said anything, only the sound of swallowing saliva.
Suddenly, warm applause broke out on the field, and after everyone reacted, they shouted frantically to Qin Yuang.
Of course, there were some people who didn't understand what had happened just now, they rubbed their eyes, and they all looked at Qin Yuang in front of the trial drum in disbelief.
However, Qin Yuang didn't pay attention to them, but continued to stretch out the joints of his fingers and casually touched the drum surface of the trial drum again.
This time, everyone's eyes widened, for fear of missing something, but to everyone's surprise, the drum surface actually emitted a huge humming sound again under Qin Yuang's careless touch, as if it was connected with the first drum just now!
"What...... He...... I'm not dreaming!"
I don't know who said it first, and people all suddenly shouted like a dream.
The disciples of the Spirit Martial Realm on the stage also looked at each other, and they all started talking about each other, they didn't understand how Qin Yuang did it, it was really amazing!
Qin Yuang chuckled, bent the joints of his index finger again, and lightly tapped on the drum surface.
Boom!
Another voice, this time, louder than the previous two!
Everyone looked at the trial drum in surprise, because every disciple who participated in the assessment in front of them was getting quieter and quieter, and it was precisely because of the extremely strong defensive power of this trial drum that it consumed more and more spiritual power and physical strength of cultivators.
Normally, this drum sound should definitely be getting smaller and smaller, but I don't know why Qin Yuang was able to overshadow the first two sounds in the third sound!
There was no other reason, because just now many disciples who were closer to the Yanwu Platform had already seen that Qin Yuang was because the third blow was a little more powerful than the first two strikes, but even so, they couldn't believe it in their eyes at all!
"That's not right!"
A Lingwu Realm disciple on the stage who had passed the assessment suddenly stood up, pointed at Qin Yuang and said, "Qin Yuang, I suspect there is something wrong with this drum!"
After speaking, the crowd was stunned for an instant, and they all thought deeply.
Indeed, according to their experience in participating in the assessment, it is impossible for anyone to be able to beat this drum so easily, let alone three sounds, but Qin Yuang's appearance is not amazing, and he didn't even ship out the aura in advance, but he did it so easily.
Everything points to one reason, and only this one way can be explained, that is, Qin Yuang made this drum a trick!
"Yes, there is definitely something wrong with this drum, whoever goes up and tries it will know if it's true or not!"
"Just give it a try and you'll know, when I hit the trial drum just now, it was as hard as a stone, why is it like an ordinary drum when Qin Yuang hits it now!"
The disciples in the audience thought that what the person from the Spirit Martial Realm said was indeed reasonable, and they all shouted.
Qin Yuang's brows furrowed slightly, and he said in his heart that these people would really be able to associate that except for the Gangwu Realm disciples who participated in the assessment before, no one had ever touched this trial drum again, and it was all a fantasy to say anything about doing things like a manipulator.
But he knew that it would be useless for him to say more, so he made a gesture of invitation to the Lingwu Realm disciple who had been refuting on the stage: "This senior brother, since you don't believe it, then try it yourself." ”
The Spirit Martial Realm disciple looked at Qin Yuang suspiciously, before he nodded and said, "Okay, even if you don't let me check it, I'll give it a try." ”
After speaking, he walked directly to the front of the trial drum, and learned from Qin Yuang's appearance just now, he also stretched out his index finger and gently tapped it on the drum surface with his finger joints.
In the expectant eyes of everyone, the bulge ...... But no sound was made.
The disciple of the Lingwu Realm was slightly stunned, how could this trial drum be even harder and abnormally harder than just now, and when he thought that it was probably because the requirements of the test Gangwu Realm were higher, he raised his finger again and knocked it fiercely.
However, this time the situation was the same as before, and the trial drum still did not make any sound.
There was an instant boos from the audience, and many people shouted at this Spirit Martial Realm disciple: "Brother, if you can't do it, if you can't do it, go down!"
