Zhang Hao sneered and was about to speak, when at this moment, the elder of the outer gate shouted in a voice like a bell: "All the disciples are guarding the spiritual platform, as long as they hold on for a quarter of an hour, they will pass the first round of assessment————!

At the same time as the words fell, a golden ball flew out of the palm of the outer gate elder's hand, and the golden ball spun in the air, and after a few circles, it flew directly into a pagoda-shaped building in the center of the square.

In an instant, the entire pagoda was full of golden light, and golden light erupted from above.

The golden rays continued to pour out like a fountain, and almost instantly, the whole square was enveloped in it, and more golden light flowed into the grooves on the floor of the square like a liquid, like golden ribbons. From a distance, the sky over the entire square seemed to have generated a pale golden light shield, covering all the disciples who participated in the assessment.

Soon, Zhang Hao felt a huge force pressing on his body, and at the same time, a golden light penetrated through the spiritual root.

"Puff puff ......"

There was a muffled sound, and many disciples couldn't hold on when the Nian Ling Great Array had just opened, and fell to their knees, and even worse, they spat blood from their mouths and turned pale.

"Hmph! I can't hold on to the Nian Ling Great Array just after it was opened, and it's a waste of resources to come to participate in the assessment with such strength!" The elder of the outer gate who was in charge of supervising the competition snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, all the disciples who fell on the field were swept out of the square.

Chen Xinci, who was not far away, didn't seem to have any sense of difficulty, he glanced at Zhang Hao, and sneered: "I didn't kneel down directly...... However, I'd like to see how long you can hold on! It's a pipe dream for a waste of three levels of qi training to also want to participate in the assessment. ”

Zhang Hao sneered and did not answer.

Time passed minute by minute, and every once in a while, several disciples would fall.

Zhang Hao also felt that the strength in his body was getting bigger and bigger, as if there was a pair of big hands pressing on his shoulders, constantly increasing his strength.

However, Zhang Hao did not have the feeling of being unable to hold on, he could feel that this power was not really blessed on the body, but was oppressed by the formation in his mind, and the feeling of weight around his body was just an illusion from his heart. The second is to detect the spiritual root, and the disciple whose spiritual root is too poor cannot become an inner disciple.

Chen Xinci's eyes kept glancing at Zhang Hao's side, and more than half of the quarter of an hour had passed, but Zhang Hao hadn't fallen at all, which made Chen Xinci secretly surprised in his heart, and secretly said that he had underestimated Zhang Hao.

Next to Chen Xinci, Liu Meier was also quietly paying attention to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao was able to hold on for so long, which greatly surprised Liu Meier, Zhang Hao's strength is relatively "clear" to her, plus she successfully performed a slashing flattery on Zhang Hao's body, Zhang Hao's heart should be greatly bruised.

But in fact, Zhang Hao has persisted for so long, as if he has not been hurt by the slashing of love at all. The last time Zhang Hao ignored Liu Meier, Liu Meier still had a trace of thought that Zhang Hao was deliberately pretending to be indifferent. Now it seems that Zhang Hao is not pretending, but Zhang Hao's heart has really not been affected.

"Poof!"

Liu Mei'er spurted out a mouthful of blood, and her body was almost blown away by a huge force, just now she suddenly had a turmoil in her mind, and her mind was almost lost, but fortunately, she quickly stabilized her mind at a critical moment.

Outside the assessment square, many disciples were paying attention to the situation on the field.

And Zhang Hao attracted a lot of attention because he offended Chen Xinci in front of the public, and many people were waiting to see his good show, waiting to see his embarrassed exit, but Zhang Hao's appearance at this time was not a little reluctant, and even looked easier than the most promising seeded players.

Sun Hu clenched a pair of fists and stared at Zhang Hao, with words in his mouth, Zhang Hao's performance also surprised him, and he began to have a little more expectation in his heart when he didn't have any confidence in Zhang Hao.

More than half of the quarter of an hour passed quickly, and then Zhang Hao felt that the pressure was getting lighter and lighter.

At this time, it was already near the end of the Nian Ling Assessment, and the test of the mind had basically passed, and the rest of the time was to test the spiritual root of each cultivator.

"Buzz ......"

There was a fluctuation in space, and the grooves covered by golden light in the square suddenly lit up, and the streaks escaped from it, levitating into the air, and in a moment, there were several golden patterns on each disciple's body.

"The spiritual root test has begun! As long as the spiritual root is not too bad, you can pass this round and enter the next round of assessment!" someone among the onlookers exclaimed.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes swept to the assessment square, and the detection of the spiritual root was the most eye-catching.

A disciple's talent is often determined by the spiritual root, and whether or not he will be cultivated by the sect, as well as the individual's future cultivation achievements, are mostly determined by the quality of the spiritual root.

On the open ground above, the Sect Master, Deputy Sect Master, and the First Elder also opened their eyes wide, and they could immediately see what was outstanding about this class of disciples.

Zhang Hao felt his heart move slightly, and the golden light that had been imprinted on the spiritual root flew out upside down, and then on top of his head. Two pillars of light of different colors appeared, one light red and one pale yellow. These two pillars of light represent Zhang Hao's spiritual root talent - the golden fire dual-line hybrid spiritual root. As for the light concentration of the light pillar, it means that his perception is not good.

"Hmph! Miscellaneous spirit root, and the ability to perceive spiritual energy is so weak. With such a talent, even if you become an inner disciple, you will be a waste!" Chen Xinci glanced at the pillar of light above Zhang Hao's head and sneered. Immediately, a golden light rushed out above Chen Xinci's head, shooting straight into the air, and as soon as this golden light appeared, it almost covered all the light in the square, and everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Xinci.

On the high platform above, the sect master and many elders suddenly stood up, staring at Chen Xinci intently one by one.

In the sky above Chen Xinci's head, the golden pillar of light gradually faded, but the surrounding clouds were surging, and each cloud showed the shape of a lotus flower, full of golden light, like a pure gold forging, magnificent and dazzling.

"Angry, lotus empowerment. It's the Heavenly Spirit Root!" Nian Ci was a little excited, and his voice trembled.

"That's right, it's indeed the Heavenly Spirit Root, the lotus flower gathers at the top, and the anger is in the sky. It's the Heavenly Spirit Root!I can't imagine that there really is a Heavenly Spirit Root among the disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect!" Ye Bi said in shock.

"This son is not only the Heavenly Spirit Root, but the color of the pillar of light inverted by the Spirit Root is solid, and the ability to perceive the aura must be extraordinary. This son is extremely talented, I don't know who his surname is, I want to accept him as a closed disciple!" Zhang Ming couldn't hold back anymore and said.

"Sect Master. Do you want to break your word?" Nian Ci's face changed, and he said, "You said that you promised to let me choose first!"

Zhang Ming coughed twice and said, "Isn't this a special situation?" Tianling Root is so rare that even in the entire Nanfeng Prefecture, I'm afraid it will be rare to encounter one in hundreds of years...... I'm sorry for my talents. ”

"Sect Master, as the head of a sect, if you break your promise, how can you convince everyone? Since you promised me to be the first choice, you should do it. If you really can't do it, then I have nothing to say, so I can only resign from the position of this peak master and concentrate on cultivation. Nian Zi said in a loud voice.

"Alright...... Year Peak Lord. If you want to choose, let you choose. Why be so angry......? This Heavenly Spirit Root disciple will be given to you!" Zhang Ming shook his head helplessly.

"Look, Earth Spirit Root!" Ye Bi shouted pointing in the direction of the assessment venue.

Everyone hurriedly looked, only to see that among the many disciples who had been assessed, a young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old rushed out of a white pillar of light above his head, about dozens of zhang high, although it was not as high as Chen Xinci's spiritual root reflection, but it also steadily suppressed the other disciples.

"This person's name is Si Yuan, and he has a certain reputation among the outer disciples, so I will choose him!" Bai He looked at Sikong Yuan on the assessment ground with satisfaction.

Subsequently, among the disciples who were assessed, another disciple of the Wind Spirit Root appeared, who was included in Qingshui Peak by Ye Bi.

Except for the Heavenly Spirit Root, Earth Spirit Root, and Wind Spirit Root, there are no more disciples of the Xenomorph Spirit Root.

In the previous inner disciple assessment, it was often very slim for a disciple to appear a different spiritual root, and it often took ten or even more years for one to appear, but this time there were actually three at a time.

In addition to these three disciples of the Alien Spirit Root, there were also two disciples with the highest level of Pure Spirit Root comprehension ability.

Wei Siyuan accepted a disciple of a pure gold spirit root, while Zhang Ming chose a disciple of a pure fire spirit root.

"Okay, good, I didn't expect the disciple's talent in this assessment to be so good. Three Alien Spirit Roots, two Pure Spirit Roots, it seems that Providence is destined to make my Imperial Sword Sect a higher sect. Zhang Ming's face could not hide the joy, although he did not accept the disciple of Tianlinggen as a disciple, it did not affect his good mood at the moment.

"Well, the talent of the disciples assessed this time is indeed incomparable to any previous session. As long as these five true disciples are taken care of by the sect, they will definitely become the backbone of the Imperial Sword Sect in time. Bai He nodded.

Ye Bi nodded and said, "That's right." The Green Shadow and the Ice and Snow Sect have been pressing on us for many years. Now it's time for us to fight back. These five True Transmission disciples will be our biggest bargaining chips against other sects in the future. ”

......

The first round of assessment is finally over, and the original assessment team of nearly 500 people is now less than half, only in their early 200s.

Still, it's pretty impressive. In the past, there were often only more than 100 people left in the first level of 500 people. And this time, three Alien Spirit Roots and two Pure Spirit Roots also appeared.

"Senior Brother Chen is mighty!"

"Senior Brother Chen is extremely talented, and he will definitely become the first person in the Imperial Sword Sect in the future. ”

"Heavenly Spirit Root, it's actually Heavenly Spirit Root! I knew that Senior Brother Chen's talent was extraordinary, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful. ”

The crowd was boiling, and almost everyone's eyes fell on Chen Xinci, casting adoring glances at him.

Chen Xinci enjoyed the admiration of everyone, just like a proud general, his gaze swept to Zhang Hao, revealing a trace of disdain.

Zhang Hao was secretly shocked in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that Chen Xinci was still a heavenly spirit root.

The Heavenly Spirit Root is indeed very rare, and it can even be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as there are no accidents, the monks of the Heavenly Spirit Root will often have a lot of achievements.

"But it's a pity, this Chen Xinci has murderous intentions towards me, I can't let him go, even if it's Tianlinggen, he will die!"

Zhang Hao glanced at Liu Mei'er again, this woman's talent is not bad, although it is two lines of miscellaneous spiritual roots, but one of the spiritual roots is very thin, and the ability to perceive is superior, such a talent can be regarded as superior.
