The square was crowded with nearly 10,000 people. Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang stepped forward from the crowd and stood beside Lin Tian and the others.

Tomorrow will be the time for them to enter the valley. And today, we have to go through the last step of the process before entering the valley!

To the east of the square, under the platform, there are thousands of young men and women. Everyone in the world says that there are few cultivators, and this kind of gathering of cultivators is even rarer!

Thousands of people stood straight to show their style. All the outstanding juniors present wanted to show themselves with their enthusiasm.

In comparison, Xia Xiao seemed too ordinary, he glanced around a few times, and he definitely couldn't call it serious. But he knew that the people should have been gathered, although Rongcheng was not the farthest from here. But as of now, those who have not arrived are no longer qualified, this is an iron rule!

Because Rongcheng had never achieved good results in the screening of Wanling Valley in the past, Xia Xiao and the five stood at the end of the team. If it weren't for the tokens in their hands, they would probably have been driven into the crowd as spectators.

Well?

Xia Xiao noticed something, his body did not move, and when he glanced at it, the three soldiers behind him carried the delicate desk, bypassed the thousand people, and placed it on the platform.

A sandalwood low table, a soft gold thread futon, and an incense burner, the three are a perfect match. This time, the Ministry of Rites is responsible for the screening of Wanling Valley, and everything is very rigorous.

Dressed in a luxurious light fur dress, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu stood on the seventh step and raised his voice:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the faculty members of the Ning Seminary are about to descend to finish the final preparation process for you!"

With that, everyone in the square bent down and saluted, and the Ministry of Rites also stepped aside and moved out of the way.

When Xia Xiao looked up, he saw the three of them standing on the platform. The three of them, two middle-aged, and one young man, although they are not crane-haired and childish-looking, they are wearing white robes, and their eyebrows are extraordinary.

When many people saw it, they all sighed, this is the instructor of the Ning Divine Academy who is in charge of the Great Xia Dynasty? I heard that the lowest strength of the instructor is in the Zun Realm Qulun, and this kind of existence is only a handful of the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

The middle-aged man led by him had cold eyes that made people respectful. He glanced at the crowd and said without delay:

"I am the team leader Fang Hai, and I will carry out the final pre-competition work for all the contestants, please prepare the tokens. ”

With that, the Ministry of Rites bowed and stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture towards the desk.

Fang Hai nodded slightly and sat on the futon.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was a little nervous, and motioned to the camp on the far left of the line to take the lead for a while. In the past, this kind of thing was done by two instructors, and the team leader was noble, so he didn't expect to come in person. If he doesn't have good manners, it's terrible!

The young instructor turned his back to the crowd in the square and made a seal with his hands. Suddenly, a rune array appeared in the sky, and a fusiform black spirit stone slowly appeared in the center of the array.

The spirit stone is three meters high, smooth on the outside, and the bottom is like a cone, and it is precisely inserted into the groove on the platform under the control of the young instructor's man.

Xia Xiao was very familiar with this spirit stone, when he was still in the imperial capital before, he often used it to test his vitality fluctuations, but there was no movement. But this time, he will prove himself in front of it!

Xia Xiao secretly made up his mind, and suddenly felt that the young teacher was very familiar. That figure reminded him of the seniors he saw on the top of the clouds in Rongcheng.

The young instructor stepped aside and nodded to the leader. He was slender and thin, Xia Xiao stared at it for a long time before he dared to make a judgment, it must be him!

"Let's get started!"

When Fang Hai said to the Ministry of Rites, the latter, who had been accompanying him, looked at Ji Ying and signaled that he could come to the stage. Hi Ying walked up the steps, handed the token to the leader, and walked to the spirit stone.

As he placed his palm on the spirit stone, another middle-aged and fat instructor moved his fingers slightly, and a stream of light entered the camp's body. But the latter didn't know it, and just released all his vitality under the traction of the spirit stone.

The young teacher holds a book in his hand, and his fingers twist in the air, and ink appears on it.

"Next ......"

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu personally delivered the message, which shows the respect of the Bactria Dynasty for the head of the church. If it weren't for the team leader's pursuit of simplicity, I'm afraid the saint would have to come.

From left to right, the junior came to the stage in a serpentine shape, Xia Xiao waited, and one stop was an hour.

The contestants who have come to this point know what the instructors are doing, and the team leader Fang Hai holds the token in his hand, and when he points his finger on it, there is a surge of vitality. In this way, as long as you encounter a danger to your life in the Valley of All Souls, crush it, and the vitality in the token can protect it. And the streamer that rushed into their bodies was a signal, and after the token was crushed, the instructors would bring them out of the Valley of All Souls. To put it bluntly, it's for the sake of safety.

Although the contestants all secretly vowed to try their best to make a difference, many people still didn't dare to fight hard.

As for what the young teacher did, it was a record. They will compare their strength when they enter and leave the Valley of All Souls according to the accurate records of the spirit stones, as long as their strength improves quickly enough, even if they are eliminated, they will have a chance to be admitted.

The selection of the competition is arranged by the Great Xia Dynasty, and the students can be recruited, or the instructors of the Ning Divine Academy shall prevail, they have the final right to interpret, and no one dares to say a word!

The sun is shining, and even in winter, it makes people feel hot. Finally, when Shu Shuang stepped off the platform, it was time for Xia Xiao to take the stage. He held the token and stepped up the steps.

The nine steps are heavier and heavier step by step, and Xia Xiao's legs are like lead stones. When all the spirit stones in the center of the platform appeared in his eyes, the bitterness in Xia Xiao's memory flooded out.

Turning around, Xia Xiao looked at Su Huan with a cold face. Now that they are only a few tens of meters away, Xia Xiao really wants to ask, if he doesn't have vitality fluctuations now, will you still hold an umbrella for me?

Su Huan's expression has never been rich, and it was the same at this time, she raised her chin at Xia Xiao and asked him to hurry up.

Although it was only a hurried glance and the delay was less than two seconds, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu was still anxious, he lowered his head, and said in a low voice:

"Xia Xiao, hurry up!"

His heart was like pressing a boulder, Xia Xiao's face was slightly cold, but he walked in front of the low table, still bent down respectfully, and handed out the token with both hands.

From the beginning to the present, Fang Hai hadn't looked up at anyone, but at this time, he looked at Xia Xiao.

This feeling was a little strange, which made him a little flattered, but Xia Xiao was quite calm, smiling and chin slightly. Fang Hai had a smile on his face, glanced at the spirit stone, and motioned for Xia Xiao to come over.

Xia Xiao nodded again and walked over. He asked himself that his psychological quality was excellent, but he couldn't help but be excited at the moment. He had forgotten how many times he had stood in front of the spirit stone, the third hundredth or the fourth hundredth, in fact, it had been more than six hundred, but Xia Xiao didn't expect that he had never felt so resolute.

Raising his wrist and head, Xia Xiao's heart was in turmoil. The last time he touched the spirit stone, he was much shorter than now, and he could only touch the edge and corner below, but now his palm was spread out, and he was touching the smooth surface of the spirit stone. This part has been touched by many people, and it is a little warm at this time, but Xia Xiao is still a spirit.

His eyes were steadfast, his lips pursed, his eyes closed, and his excitement was evident in his rapid breathing.

In the eyes of others, it is extremely normal, but Xia Xiao is as sacred as worshipping a god. No one could understand his mood at this time, because no one was as rough as he was. If the spirit stone could speak, Xia Xiao really wanted to have a good talk with it, talk about his hopes every time he encountered it, and the cruel reality afterward.

Soon, the black spirit stone trembled, and a burst of yellow light flashed from it. Xia Xiao's thoughts were not here, and he let it attract his vitality.

Lingshi, Lingshi, you are the best proof, tell everyone, I am no longer the original self. The grievances suffered by my Xia family should not only be endured in my stomach! I, Xia Xiao, are back!

Bang –

There was a sensation of vitality, a pillar of light rose into the sky, and the wind and waves on the platform set off towards the square, causing many contestants to be surprised.

When he saw the camp standing in the first row, his face was the most pale. He was in the middle of his infancy, and the spirit stone showed only a raging flame without any sound. Xia Xiao is not in the middle stage of condensation, how could it attract such a movement?

The robe was lifted by the wind, and his eyes were filled with flame-like vitality, and when he saw the pillar of light on the spirit stone, his brows tightened. It is true that this vitality is only a condensation seed, and it has not yet reached the realm of dignity, but why is it so strange? There is also the green vitality in it, which has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, rushing from the platform, revealing an illusory towering tree.

The trees stretched out their thick branches, and the leaves were luxuriant and vibrant, and soon the whole square was covered and even the whole mountain was covered!

Fang Hai's scalp was numb and he stood up.

"Worthy of a person from afar! worthy of a person from afar!"

As he murmured, Fang Hai's stiff face showed an uncontrollable smile.

Everyone in the audience was stunned and raised their heads high, except for Shu Shuang. She had already known everything, and at this time, looking at Xia Xiao's back, her little face was full of pride and extremely happy.

Xia Xiao didn't know what was going on, he was just depressed in his heart, and when his palm left the spirit stone, the big tree that existed between heaven and earth disappeared. The green air is illusory like a mirage.

If it is elsewhere, everyone may think that this is an illusion, but in front of Fang Hai, who would dare to make a mistake? Moreover, there are only four spirit stones in the world, and they have never made mistakes, and at this time, the scene must not be fake. But Xia Xiao's strength is only a condensation seed, why is there a towering tree? Could it be that he has the power of wood in his body? Even if he has, the spirit stone that tests his strength should not show such a scene.

When everyone was puzzled, they all waited for Fang Hai to give an answer. The latter held the token and waited for Xia Xiao to come.

Xia Xiao stretched out his hands, took the token, and listened to Fang Haidao:

"Go back and get ready. ”

Xia Xiao was a little surprised, glanced at him, and nodded very seriously.

"Thank you for the warning!"

Xia Xiao walked off the stage and felt strange when he saw everyone looking at him. These people are really small-minded, Fang Hai just said a word to himself, just staring at himself like this?

Xia Xiao still found the clue and walked to Shu Shuang's side. After the latter told him the big picture, Xia Xiao was not too surprised, but said:

"Ju Mang is about to wake up!"
