Chapter 4: The Pillar of Testing
"Have you heard? Our country has changed hands, the Huang family has angered the unknown masters and been exterminated, and the Liu family has become the new royal family. In a restaurant in Dry Wind City, two middle-aged men were talking.
"Who doesn't know this, I know more exciting. The other man said disapprehensively.
"What else do you know?" the man who was the first to speak at this sentence was anxious. "The secret of heaven must not be revealed", "Okay, don't sell it, I invited this meal, say it quickly!", "Wait for your words" The middle-aged man sat down and immediately started talking
"It is said that it was not a master who destroyed the Huang family at all, but the head of the Liu family destroyed the Huang family, except for the thirty-eight people of the Huang family in other places, the rest were all exterminated, and even the most talented prince Huang Chiyan was not spared. ”
"What did you say?" Hearing this, the entire tavern became interested and gathered around the middle-aged man.
Only a dusty teenager ignored it, eating his own wine and food, but his eyes showed murderous intent.
This young man was none other than Huang Chiyan, who had escaped death only a few days ago, and he tried his best to restrain his impulse when he heard others talking about him.
"Not only that, the Liu family is looking for other remnants of the Huang people. They are preparing for the founding ceremony and are ready to take over the Scorching Flame Country immediately. The middle-aged man said proudly.
"If you want me to say that this Liu family is really domineering, not only killed the original monarch, but also cut the grass and eradicated the roots, killed all the descendants of the Huang family and destroyed the Huang family. Another middle-aged man said adoringly.
"Joke, the Liu family relied on the Huang family to take the position, and now they are ungrateful and killed. This is also domineering, this is also worthy of praise?" Huang Chiyan, who was on the side, finally couldn't help it.
"Huangkou Xiaoer, what do you know? Do you also have the ability of the Liu family?" the middle-aged man said unconvinced. "If I wipe out your family and kill all the children in your family, will you worship me?" Huang Chiyan was furious, these people simply didn't understand what was going on, and reversed right and wrong.
"You kid, you are so good at kung fu, you have the ability to say it in front of the Liu family, so hard. ”
"Great news, the Liu family held the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China and invited people from all cities to congratulate 3 times, my dry wind city as one of the eight major cities has a total of 100 places, a total of 30 elders, 20 juniors in the city lord's mansion, ten juniors in each of the four major families, and another ten places are delegated to the common people, and those who are talented come to sign up. ”
The middle-aged man was interrupted by the news before he finished speaking, and after the news came out, the entire restaurant was boiling, and Huang Chiyan sneered and left the restaurant silently.
"Hey, did you say this kid is really going to the Imperial City. "How can he go to heaven when he goes to the imperial city, do you think he is very awesome?" The middle-aged man said coldly, in his opinion, Huang Chunyan is just a clown who doesn't know the height of the sky.
The City Lord's Mansion in Withered Leaf City has long been overcrowded, and it is crowded with enthusiastic teenagers, who doesn't want to open their eyes when there is such a lively thing.
Huang Chiyan was also in the crowd, but he changed into a different outfit.
A long robe hung down to the feet, white with a faint yellow, as if a flame was surging on the long robe, looking noble and frivolous. With a black iron white sword around his waist, a silver mask covering the side of his face, this mask not only did not cover his heroic spirit, but it added a sense of mystery, coupled with the emanation of the shawl, such an image is not to charm many girls.
"In order to celebrate the founding ceremony, I have selected ten outstanding young people to go to the imperial city with the major families. Without further ado, those who wish to participate in the square come to the center of the square and place their palms on the gold test pillar, and those who can make it shine will enter the second round. At this time, an old man on the stage said to everyone.
Hearing this, everyone rushed towards the golden pillar, scrambling to display their talents. As the name suggests, the golden pillar is a stone pillar that tests the genius like gold, and the stone pillar will be analyzed according to the comprehensive qualities such as talent, strength, age, etc., and according to the ability of the trialist, the golden pillar will show five colors: blue, blue, purple, red, and gold.
This test gold pillar Huang Chiyan has not been used, and he has also played badly. Huang Chiyan has used this golden pillar three times. Once when he was ten years old, he lit up with purple light, and the second time when he was thirteen years old, he directly lit up with red light. The most recent time was fifteen years old, at this age when ordinary people had just cultivated martial arts, he showed his talent perfectly. However, this time the gold test pillar did not shine, but directly shattered the gold test pillar. With his peerless talent, he can kill his father Huang Yaoguang.
Huang Chiyan smiled lightly, this is his cultivation is not as good as before, but his talent has awakened, it should not be too bad, at least he can shine red light.
At this time, a fifteen-year-old boy stood on the stage. Boom, the gold test pillar suddenly shone brightly, and the light shrouded the boy. When people fixed their eyes, it was purple light, and this purple momentum was shining all over the sky, which was a great spectacle.
"I thought this test of the gold pillar was so powerful, it turned out to be so simple, just a little hairy boy can make him show purple light, see the master give him a big golden light" Seeing that the first person put purple light, some people couldn't bear it.
I saw a person confidently coming to the gold test pillar and clapping his hands. But this time, there wasn't even a bit of green light.
After that, dozens of people went up to test, but there was no one who could make the gold test pillar emit purple light, and no one even lit up the blue light, and there were only a few lights. After all, the testers are all civilian children, and their talent is not too high, and more people are like the second person who goes up with confidence, but they come down in disgrace.
Two hours later, four or five hundred people have tested it. At this time, the sun was poisoning past noon, and the number of people in the square gradually decreased, leaving only those who had passed the test and those who had not.
Those who have not been tested are still enthusiastic and eager to try, ready to show their talents.
And those who preside over and review and supervise are not interested, and no one wants to do such a boring errand on this hot day. Anyway, they are also high-level masters of the True Martial Realm, so they even let them watch these civilian tests.
The talent of the commoners is not as high as the talent of the people in the City Lord's Mansion and the big family, except for the talent of the first teenager, there are not many good seedlings, and there are not many who are even bright in the Qingguang, and the Qingguang is only a passing grade in the City Lord's Mansion at most. The judges are already eager to end this boring test sooner rather than later.
After a teenager turned on the blue light, Huang Chiyan finally came to the gold test.
This gold test pillar is about 18 meters high, the thickness of the two people hugging together, the column body is black carved with dragon pattern tiger ornament, although it is not as tall as Huang Chiyan used before, but it also does not lose its majesty.
It stood quietly in front of Huang Chiyan, as if it was about to shine in the next second.
