Five years later, in the territory of the Xuanyuan Empire, Xinghuazong.

The morning sun rises in the east, like a loving mother, and sprinkles its warmth on the earth. The early morning sunlight dispelled the shadows of the night and painted Xinghuazong with a soft golden glow.

Amid the cheerful chirping of birds, the morning light entered through an open window and fell on a young man sitting cross-legged.

Suddenly, a red-golden glow emanated from all over his body, as bright and blazing as the sun that never goes out. Forced to notice, in the meridians under the skin, there was a faint dark red liquid like magma, slowly flowing and endless.

After a while, white steam slowly exhaled from his mouth. Exhale this white breath and inhale again through your nose. After repeating this for dozens of times, the white steam from his mouth gradually faded.

It wasn't until the last breath of white air was exhausted that the young man opened his eyes leisurely. The bright purple-gold eyes returned to their normal dark brown.

"It took more time than expected...... However, he finally forced out the extremely cold moon god true qi. The young man smiled with relief and breathed a sigh of relief.

This gentle and elegant young man is Jiang Ziyao, who escaped from the hands of the Moon Spirit Witch with the Jiuyang Pearl.

Five years ago, he was pulled by the power of Jiuyang Zhu, flew all the way south, and finally fell near Xinghua Sect and fainted. Later, the disciples of the Xinghua Sect found him and kindly carried him back.

After waking up, Jiang Ziyao concealed his identity and fabricated a pitiful life story to win sympathy. Fortunately, the disciples of Xinghua Sect were kind-hearted, and they were angry when they saw him on his face, and they didn't look like a person with ulterior motives, so they arranged him to work in the outer courtyard.

After that, Jiang Ziyao stayed in the Xuanyuan Empire's assassin training base, Xinghua Sect.

But the true qi of the moon god is too cold. Jiang Ziyao's original cultivation was not high, and he couldn't invoke the power of Jiuyang Zhu like his fingers. Therefore, it is not possible to remove it quickly.

And this matter is extremely secret to him, and he can't ask others for help. So he can only move mountains and rely on his own strength, working hard little by little.

In the past five years, he has persevered every day, and finally expelled all the moon god true qi in his body today.

Five years can make Jiang Ziyao's body completely recover, and it can also make him, who should be carefree, mature. He experienced the initial anger, panic, and resentment, then the helplessness, numbness, and then the current turmoil. There has already been a lot of change in my mood.

He's not the unworldly nerd who faces his enemies and talks about them. At least five years of doing chores in the outer courtyard has taught him to keep a low profile and how to survive in this world.

However, the danger has not gone away. In the past few years, the Moon Spirit Witch has sent a large number of people to search the entire continent. Fortunately, the Yantian Continent is vast, and even the powerful Moon God Palace, if you want to find a needle in a haystack, it is not easy.

To this day, the Moon Spirit Witch has not given up on the Nine Yang Pearl. The continent-wide search is far from over. Once Jiang Ziyao reveals clues, he may be detected by the assassins scattered across the continent in the Moon God Palace.

In order to be able to revive the Yi God Clan in the future, and to defeat the hateful woman of the Moon Spirit Witch, Jiang Ziyao can only lie down and taste courage now and concentrate on cultivation. At least until there is no small success in cultivation, you have to hide yourself.

"The time is almost up. Jiang Ziyao looked at the sky, immediately got out of bed to change clothes, and ran out of the door.

Today is the day when Xinghuazong holds the Inner Court Assessment. After the outer court disciples successfully pass the inner court assessment, they will be able to be the inner court disciples. Becoming a disciple of the Inner Court will allow you to learn a lot of assassin techniques. This is exactly what Jiang Ziyao needs.

Although he was born into a family of assassins, he liked to read since he was a child, and he didn't know much about the cultivation of assassins until five years ago.

For the current Jiang Ziyao, only by making himself stronger can he possibly compete with the Moon Spirit Witch. To do this, he must first become a disciple of the inner courtyard of the Xinghua Sect.

The meeting point is at the entrance of the inner courtyard of the Xinghua Sect. When I came to the gate of the inner courtyard, it was already crowded with people. As in previous years, there were a very large number of disciples who participated in the Inner Court assessment.

"Jiang Ziyao! Today is the day of the assessment of the inner court. Are you ready?" Just as Jiang Ziyao was about to wait in line, a sweet female voice suddenly stopped him.

Jiang Ziyao turned his head to look, and saw a beautiful girl walking towards this side with a smile.

She wears a slanted ponytail and looks youthful and cute, very energetic. The body is slightly petite, but delicate. A pair of black and white eyes are a little delicate.

Looking at that beautiful face like a peach and plum, it is enough to kill countless innocent brothers and sisters in seconds.

This little beauty's name is Jin Xuan, and she has been cultivating with Jiang Ziyao in the outer courtyard of Xinghua Sect for several years, and she can be regarded as familiar with her. Not only is she very talented, but she is also beautiful. Back then, among the outer court disciples of the Xinghua Sect, his strength was also one of the best.

Therefore, Jin Xuan easily passed the inner court assessment a year ago and became a disciple of the inner court of Xinghua Sect.

On the other hand, Jiang Ziyao, in order to clear the Moon God True Qi in his body, took many years, and he has not been able to focus on assassin cultivation. His overall strength can only be ranked last.

But now the Moon God's True Qi has been cleared. With the power of Jiuyang Zhu, Jiang Ziyao believes that his cultivation will definitely improve day by day!

After the greetings, Jiang Ziyao asked, "Didn't you already pass the inner courtyard assessment, why did you appear here?"

Jin Xuan crossed *** and snorted: "I'm here to see you make a fool of yourself." You come to the exam every year, but you can't pass it every year. I'd like to see when you'll be able to enter the inner court and become a true assassin. ”

"Xiaoxuan~" Before the two could say a few words, another beautiful woman walked towards this side.

Jiang Ziyao glanced at her casually, and his eyes were full of amazement!

This beauty is about eighteen years old, about the same age as Jin Xuan. The standard beauty melon seed face, delicate and beautiful facial features, graceful figure, coupled with a noble and dusty temperament...... This is definitely a goddess-level figure!

Even Jin Xuan, who is so beautiful that countless senior brothers and junior brothers are excited, is a little inferior to her. As soon as she appeared, she immediately attracted the attention of countless brothers and sisters.

"Wan'er!" Seeing this big beauty, Jin Xuan's two beautiful big eyes smiled like crescent moons.

The goddess-level beauty affectionately grabbed Jin Xuan's arm and said with a smile: "Why are you running so fast? I almost couldn't find you." ”

Jin Xuan stuck out her cute little tongue: "I'm here to see someone's joke." Ah, by the way, let me introduce you. This is my friend Jiang Ziyao, a bit clumsy. Jiang Ziyao, this is my good girlfriend Aster, a super beautiful assassin. She is the goddess in the hearts of the senior brothers of the Xinghua Sect!"

"Hello, Ziyao, nice to meet you. Aster smiled slightly and greeted politely.

Jiang Ziyao didn't hear it, just stared at the aster dumbfounded. I was shocked inside.

This woman's boobs ...... It's even plumper than the Moon Spirit Witch back then! this is the size that can't be seen directly, this perfect shape...... It's really, it's really uncontrollable!

"Uh-huh!" Jin Xuan coughed dryly in displeasure, forcibly pulling Jiang Ziyao's gaze away from Aster, "What are you looking at?"

"Ahh Don't look at indecency, don't look ......at indecency," Jiang Ziyao chanted a few times like a mantra, and began to condemn himself in his heart.

Gentleman, please respect yourself! I think I, Jiang Ziyao, am also a person who has read the books of sages, how can I be tempted by lust and have no determination?

But then, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at Jin Xuan's chest, and stopped talking.

"Look at what, little pervert!" Jin Xuanqiao's face was slightly red, feeling a little embarrassed, "What do you mean by that disgusted gaze? I'm not small, okay? At least it's the size of a bun!"

"Bun ......" Jiang Ziyao heard that Jin Xuan was a little unhappy in his tone, so he immediately lowered his head and stopped talking. But after holding it for a long time, he couldn't help it, and muttered weakly: "Xiaolongbao...... Is it a bun?"

"Jiang Ziyao, you're looking for death!" Jin Xuan's face suddenly turned red, and she was about to leave on the spot.

"Yes, I'm sorry! I said the wrong thing! Well, I didn't mean to say that you were small. I'm just a little curious...... Uh, I'm sorry! I shouldn't be curious about girls' bodies! Gentlemen don't expose people's shortcomings, don't expose people's shortcomings......"

"You, you...... You false Taoist, hypocrite! I just can't get used to seeing you look dead! What do you mean by not revealing people's shortcomings? Is this my shortcoming? Where am I small? Xiaolongbao, hum, you can say it! Am I so small? Yes? Yes!"

"Uh, this ......"

"You dare to hesitate? Jiang Ziyao, you are going to die today!"

"No, don't! Miss, I'm wrong! People don't know and don't be embarrassed, don't be gentlemen? You have a lot, don't be impulsive!"

Seeing the two of them making a fuss, Aster grabbed Jin Xuan with a smile and said, "Okay, okay, Xiaoxuan, don't make trouble." You left in such a hurry just now just to cheer for Ziyao, right? Don't quarrel as soon as we meet. ”

"Who, who is going to cheer this idiot?" Jin Xuanqiao blushed and pointed at Jiang Ziyao angrily, "I, I'm here to see his jokes!" He has been in Xinghua Sect for five years and has participated in four inner court assessments. Not a single passed. I'll see what excuses he's trying to make this time!"

"Hehe......" Looking at Jin Xuan's expression, Jiang Ziyao couldn't help but smirk.

"What are you laughing at, nerd!" Jin Xuan glared at Jiang Ziyao angrily, puffing up two cute little cheeks, "You give me some courage this time!

Just as they were talking, the examiners of the Xinghua Sect had already set up the examination venue and shouted to everyone: "Everyone, pay attention! ”

A total of 10 temporary assessment points were set up on the spacious site. Each examiner sits at a wooden table. Outer court disciples who participate in the assessment only need to choose one of the assessment points and wait in line.

The content of the internal hospital assessment is different every year. The difficulty varies. But the acceptance rate has basically remained around five percent. In other words, if 1,000 people take the test, then only 50 people are finally admitted.

Despite such a low acceptance rate, there are still many students who rush to apply for the exam every year. Because assassins are the most powerful class on the Yantian Continent.

After hundreds of years of research and development, the Assassin's cultivation system has developed to its peak. There are also quite a few sects.

Therefore, in the Yantian Continent, assassins are much more powerful than ordinary samurai and mercenaries.

Top assassins can destroy the enemy's combat headquarters in a million-strong army, or infiltrate the heavily guarded forbidden places of the imperial palace and take off the emperor's head like a bag.

It can be said that the Assassins played a pivotal role in every nation. But for various reasons, the number of assassins was far from being comparable to that of the samurai.

Despite this, each nation still spends a lot of money and material resources to train Assassins. And Xinghua Sect is the assassin training base of the Xuanyuan Empire.

In the Xinghua Sect, after the disciples of the outer court passed the assessment of the inner court, they could not only receive a generous salary from the state, but also receive a variety of generous benefits.

The so-called people die for money, and birds die for food. In order to make a good living, everyone is quite obsessed with the Assassins.

"Okay, all the outer court disciples are lined up, right?" At this time, after confirming that all the candidates were in place, the chief examiner glanced at everyone and announced loudly, "Let's start this year's inner court assessment!"
