Chapter 836: Above the Nine Heavens, Heavenly Palace Gate!
The much-anticipated Tiangongmen assessment has finally arrived in heated discussions.
In the center of the Heavenly Sage Kingdom, there is a huge square, at this time, there is a magnificent building standing in the square, which is resplendent in gold, carved beams and paintings, and is spectacular.
Countless candidates gathered here, and the black pressure could not be seen at a glance, like a swarm of moving little ants. The grim atmosphere is also coming in this remarkable "reference army".
Here, it is the place where the assessment will be held, the "Earth Palace" of Tiangong Gate.
What is even more shocking is that it is far away in the nine heavens, the clouds are covered, a palace looms in the mist, a round sun hangs on the side, and the faint dawn is slanted down, shrouding the palace in layers of golden light, like a fairyland in a dream.
This temple above the clouds is the main hall of the Heavenly Palace Gate, the "Heavenly Palace", and the children who have passed the assessment will be accepted into the temple to cultivate as official members of the Heavenly Palace Gate. And the "underground hall", although it is also luxurious and magnificent, is only for the convenience of assessment, the projection space left below.
Looking at the lofty heavenly temple, how can it not make people's blood boil, and step in, as if he has also been ranked in the immortal class. Who doesn't want to enter it to cultivate, who doesn't want to be the best among their peers, who doesn't want to strive for the top in the entire plane and leave a name in history?
And all this depends on the assessment they are about to take.
Further, it will become a cloud and turn into a dragon, and the eagle will strike the sky, overlooking the mountains and rivers!
Tianxiao Pavilion and the Nine Shadows Palace, as well as the Heavenly Saint Academy, all the candidates on the recommended list were waiting in the Earth Hall at this time. And the winding and long queues in the outside world are all candidates for "passerby status".
Inside and outside the temple, it is tantamount to two heavens. The candidates in the hall not only have a comfortable environment, but also have a high probability of being selected. The crowd outside the hall, while enduring the scorching sun, was still unsure about whether they could pass the assessment.
Ye Shuo was also in the waiting queue. Arms folded, indifferent.
During this period of special training for himself, his strength has taken another big step, and he is confident that he will never be worse than those so-called "pride of heaven". If this is a fair assessment, then he is not afraid of any challenge.
Before coming here, he also made a special trip to the Tianji Country and completed a mission with the Mercenary Guild.
At the beginning, Zhuge Yuluo left him a thousand tricks, and he needed to find various unique materials in order to perfectly stimulate the power of the formation. It's too slow to look around alone, and in order to save time, he made a special trip to issue a task to collect the required materials.
Although what Feng Yu handed over to him in the end was still only a part of it, Ye Shuo was also an easily contented person. Those materials are strange, it is not easy to find them thoroughly, with these additional materials, it is enough for him to arrange a few more formations, and this is enough!
It's just that although he was confident, when he saw the lineup of candidates with his own eyes, Ye Shuo was still taken aback.
According to the data he has learned, the total number of people who refer to each time is almost in the hundreds of millions. In the end, only 1,000 people were successfully selected.
Don't underestimate this number, if you look at it proportionally, that is, only one person out of every 100,000 people can enter! It's an incomparably bloody battle!
Those who can stand out must be the real best among people!
Time has been quietly passing for several hours in waiting. In the crowd, you can also hear a lot of noise and discussion.
"I've been cultivating for several months, and I must enter the Heavenly Palace Gate this time!"
"Dude, you were also from the Hongjia training institution at the beginning, right? No wonder I look familiar with you! I'm from the third class?"
These are good, and some people fight directly in the open space in order to reduce their opponents before the exam. There are really people who have their heads broken early and can only leave the scene with hatred.
Although Ye Shuo felt sorry for these unlucky candidates, he had no intention of stopping them. Obviously, their strength is really poor, and they don't have the qualifications to enter the Tiangong Gate at all. It's better to leave the field early here than to meet those top powerhouses in the assessment and be beaten to the ground and damage the Dao heart.
In the team of passers-by, the strength of the third stage of the transformation of qi, which had just successfully broken through before the assessment, was already regarded as a first-class echelon. Ye Shuo deliberately released the spiritual pressure, and sure enough, no one dared to provoke him, which can be regarded as avoiding a lot of trouble.
"Hey, Brother Ye, is it really you?" Just as Ye Shuo was about to wait for a fossil, a surprise call suddenly sounded beside him.
"Are you?" Ye Shuo turned his head and looked at the dashing young man in front of him, his eyes couldn't help but squint slightly.
Through the other party's uninhibited smiling face, he can still vaguely judge the strength of the other party...... I'm afraid not under myself!
Passers-by are being assessed...... Sure enough, it's also a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger...... But who is he, and why does he know his name?
Seeing that he looked sluggish, the young man was so anxious that he pointed his finger at the tip of his nose: "Me! Ren Jianfei, don't you know me?"
Ye Shuo was still at a loss, Ren Jianfei was full of helplessness, and blurted out: "You forgot, when you were chased and killed by the Blood Cloud Hall, or did I help you erase the tracking imprint in your body!"
This abrupt and loud voice also attracted the attention of many candidates.
When he said this, Ye Shuo remembered it. At the beginning, the two helped each other, and he "ran away from home" and had his own share.
Thinking like this, Ye Shuo also quickly piled up a smile of "what a coincidence", and exaggeratedly exclaimed: "Ah, it's you!"
"Didn't you say you wouldn't participate in the assessment?, why did you still come?" the two greeted each other, and Ye Shuo asked curiously.
When Ren Jianfei heard this, he suddenly became frightened, for his free and easy son, this expression was really a little rare.
"Actually, I withdrew from the primary election before, and I was going to go directly to the mountains and rivers, but when I thought of my father, ......"
Playing with the broken hair that hung down to his shoulders, Ren Jianfei's eyes couldn't help but glance at the sky, and muttered softly:
"My father has always loved swords as much as his life, but in order to open the way for me, he did not hesitate to give away a famous sword that has been handed down from generation to generation! I always feel that if I turn around and leave like this, I am really sorry for my father, so I ...... it."
"That's fine!" Who knows, Ye Shuo praised vigorously, "If you want to play, you can go at any time, the main thing we do is to ask for a peace of mind!"
With his encouragement, Ren Jianfei's face also showed a cheerful smile again.
"That's right, Brother Ye, this time we have to enter the Heavenly Palace Gate together!"
Ye Shuo smiled and bumped a punch with him: "Definitely!"
"Hmph, you two don't have a small tone. A candidate in the nearby queue snorted, "Collect your heart as soon as possible, it's good to get one out of a hundred on our side." ”
Although he could sense that the strength of these two people was extraordinary, no matter how strong they were, they were still passers-by, and there was no recommended place, so how could it be so easy to compete for those young masters and young ladies inside?
Ye Shuo and Ren Jianfei glanced at each other and smiled without saying a word. They have no intention of refuting these provocations, and that's because they are confident enough that if they are selected, there will definitely be one of them!
Talking and laughing with Ren Jianfei, the boring waiting doesn't seem to be so difficult.
After a long time, Ye Shuo suddenly heard a woman's coquettish voice from the crowd not far away.
"Oh, it's so hot! My skin is getting sunburned!"
From a distance, a young girl is facing the sky, wearing a blue suspender jumpsuit, a white sports cap, and a cute big rabbit backpack behind her. It was clearly an energetic dress, but the girl covered her forehead with one hand at this time, pursed her lips aggrievedly, and the double ponytails on both sides also seemed to be wilted, hanging weakly on her shoulders. This fatigue breath seems to be contagious, and beside her, there are many people who have sad faces and sighs.
If it was just a squeamish girl, it wouldn't have attracted Ye Shuo's attention, but what made his eyes flash teasing was that he had already recognized the identity of the other party-
"Hey!" When the girl began a new round of sighs looking up to the sky, Ye Shuo pulled Ren Jianfei, squeezed through the crowd quickly, and slapped her vigorously on the shoulder.
The girl frowned and turned her head, her face was the same dazed as Ye Shuo's before.
"Don't you remember me?" Ye Shuo smiled faintly, raised his hand and flicked a finger in front of her forehead, "Little crybaby!"
This faux puff made the girl cover her forehead, and she was about to be angry on the spot, but when she heard the familiar name, she blinked, and her eyes slowly melted into a sudden -
This girl is Qiao Xiying, when Qianyuanzong cooperated with the mercenary union to carry out the task of picking Chiyan Ancient Fruits, she always remembered at that time that this kid named Ye Shuo and Senior Brother Gucheng were not on the same page, so she never gave him a good look along the way. Even because she concealed key information, Ye Shuo's companion Xu Yuan was swallowed by the ancient tree, and the two can be said to have a "new hatred and old hatred".
But inside the ancient tree, when Lu Hongyu was in danger, but no one rescued her, she had nothing to do but cry loudly in place, but Ye Shuo took the initiative to save Lu Hongyu regardless of his previous suspicions.
At that time, listening to his "little crybaby", Qiao Xiying actually felt an inexplicable sense of security. This title has also taken root in my memory-
"It's you, that nasty ghost!" Qiao Xiying screamed. I haven't seen him for three years, and this nasty ghost has grown a little taller and more mature in appearance, but ...... It's getting more annoying, too!
"Brother Ye, it turns out that you still know such a cute girl!" Ren Jianfei was probing his brain curiously on the side, "Introduce me to me too?"
Ye Shuo smiled and said very cooperatively: "Oh, she is from the Qianyuan Sect, you can just call her a little crybaby." ”
Qiao Xiying was so anxious that she stomped her feet: "You are not allowed to scream!
Since being given that nickname by Ye Shuo three years ago, Qiao Xiying has also begun to realize that it is useless to just rely on coquettishness in case of trouble. Although she habitually relies on others, and her brothers are willing to let her rely on her, after all, she can't rely on others like this for a lifetime.
Therefore, after that, when she encounters difficulties again, she will try to solve them by herself, instead of crying coquettishly. finally got rid of the style of "little crybaby", and she once thought that if she saw that nasty ghost again, she must let him see her changes!
"It's not a crybaby, it's a little squeamish. Ye Shuo didn't praise at all, "Do you think there is anyone like you, who is basking in the sun and arguing about sunburn?"
To this girl, he just likes to tease her, and likes to see her mad at his own anger. Perhaps, it's because of her brutality, like the original Lingsha......
"By the way, the people of Qianyuanzong, why do you walk through the passerby's passage?" Ren Jianfei changed the topic in time, "Don't you have a recommended quota?"
When Qiao Xiying heard this, she suddenly became angry again: "I'm here to be a little cheerleader for Senior Brother Gucheng! Come on first, assessment second!"
Ye Shuo said with a smile on the side: "Don't look at what she said nicely, in fact, she is too weak to get a quota." ”
"Who said that?" Qiao Xiying raised her head to the sky, "I'm the president of the Lonely City Senior Brother Support Association!" raised his hand and knocked on Ren Jianfei's chest, "Hey, if you abandon the darkness and turn to the light as soon as possible, I can also let you join the club!"
"Mo Gucheng, is that the famous genius of Qianyuan Sect?" Ren Jianfei smiled faintly, a rare trace of battle intent surged in his eyes, "Interesting, I really want to learn from him." ”
"It's not a competition!" Qiao Xiying's spirit was vivid, tiptoeing, and repeatedly pointed at his head, "It's you who want to ask Senior Brother Gucheng for advice!
The three of them made a mess, and there was a lot of joy, and just like that, a few more hours passed.
"Is queue cutting accepted here?"
A slender hand was placed on Ye Shuo's shoulder, and there was a hint of banter in his arrogant voice.
Ye Shuo couldn't get used to these people who loved to take advantage of him, so he turned around seriously: "I'm sorry to ......"
Before he finished speaking, looking at the young girl in front of him, he was suddenly stunned.
Shen Antong, who hasn't seen her for a few months, has become much more beautiful. The makeup is obviously well-groomed, the hair is a little longer, and a small braid is combed on the side, which is only ear-length and softly adheres to the hair.
Fashionable air bangs, eyebrows and eyes are faintly visible, refreshing and cute. The tips of the hair draped over the shoulders are made of delicate pear blossom perms, which add a bit of ladylike temperament to the freshness.
Wearing a polka-dot beige shirt, a cool pleated skirt, a pair of medium socks at the knees, and black high leather boots, the whole person looks both pure and handsome neutral.
"An Tong?!" Ye Shuo looked straight. He didn't expect that this little witch would be able to become so beautiful if she dressed up seriously! If she went to Zhiyuan Academy, it would be a proper courtyard flower!
Beside her, the petite Li Yue rolled her big eyes, looked at the two back and forth, and said with a long smile:
"Yo yo, Ye Bailian, you also said that you don't like people, when you see our family, your eyes are shining!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Ye Shuo's face flushed for no reason, "Isn't it a long time since everyone has seen each other, I'm happy?"
Li Yue smiled mischievously: "Who believes it, then we haven't seen each other for a long time, why have your eyes been only staring at Tongtong?"
At this time, Qiao Xiying and Ren Jianfei also looked over curiously, and their eyes flashed with gossip.
