23.Chapter 23: The Talent Test
The rules of the second level of the assessment were over, and the elite disciple in charge of the test first opened the magic circle, and Yechen Star felt a wave of heat rushing towards him, as if he was in a scorching steamer. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 All the people in the info circle who participated in the test used their Xuan Qi to resist the heat wave.
The elite disciple put a lit incense stick into the incense burner, and the assessment officially began.
After the monk is promoted to the Xuan Shi, he will have a layer of Xuan Qi to automatically defend his body. Song Yushu and a few other Xuan Qi could push the Xuan Qi to resist the heat wave from the body. The rest of the group of mysteries, including the Night Star, are out of luck! Fortunately, after being promoted to the Xuan Person, he is different from mortals, and his feelings of heat and cold are not so strong. You can persist in carrying out the assessment.
It didn't feel good to be roasted by a steamer, and Yechenxing picked up the bowl and chopsticks in front of him and began to pick and choose. First, from large to small, put the ten kinds of iron beads in turn into the ten small bowls in front of you and classify them, and then start to put them in one by one according to the size.
In fact, this level simulates the high temperature during refining. Under the influence of such high temperatures, it is necessary to have a clear mind and accurate actions to ensure the success rate of refining. This can indeed be improved with practice, but it consumes a lot of precious materials. Since there is a choice, why didn't the Yantian Sect choose someone who had this characteristic as a disciple?
"Senior brother, what are you still doing here? This year's introductory test is about to reach the third level, so you law enforcement elder can't be absent. "The introductory test is underway, but Dugu Lieyang, the law enforcement elder, is nowhere to be found, making it easy for Yantian Sect Sect Master Ouyang Bai to find.
It has been more than half a year since the last time he met Yechen Star in Falling Star City, and Dugu Lieyang's current identity is not what it used to be. The original law enforcement elder was the senior uncle of Dugu Lieyang and Sect Master Ouyang Bai, and he was highly respected. But not long ago, Shouyuan ran out and passed away.
Although the Yantian Sect is a refining sect with few disciples, the law enforcement elders cannot be vacant for a day. The elders and sect masters felt that Dugu Lieyang was upright and would not favor anyone, but he was a good candidate to be an elder of law enforcement, so they pushed him to this position.
"Don't go, I'm Dugu Lieyang to accept apprentices, and I pay attention to the fate method. I don't like those who take the initiative to take the introductory test. "For Dugu Lieyang, it is better to watch the introductory assessment than to seize the time to refine the weapon. After becoming this law enforcement elder, he had a lot less time to use the refining weapon, and he was about to die.
"What do you always say, then why haven't you received any apprentices until now? Wouldn't it be better to take all your life's learning to the grave? ”
"Who says it wasn't found? When I traveled around the world before, I really met a happy little guy. ”
"What about the others?" Ouyang Bai asked with interest. I didn't expect that my junior brother was above the top, and finally found the talent who caught his eye?
"Ah, what is this......" Dugu Lieyang regretted it a little now, he knew that he had done this at the beginning, and he directly brought Yechen Star back to the sect.
"Okay, there's not much time, come with me to Yanyun Tower. Maybe there are good seedlings that will make your heart flutter. In this way, Dugu Lieyang was dragged by his senior brother Ouyang Bai to the Yanyun Building for the entrance test.
Half a pillar of incense has passed the time of the second level test here, and the night star in the magic circle is struggling to support it.
It's not that I can't stand the high temperature, it's just that under the high temperature, I'm already sweating. His eyes were covered with sweat. Yechenxing must constantly wipe it with his sleeve, otherwise he can't even see the size of the beads clearly, which greatly reduces the efficiency. He heard the rules of this test clearly, and if he picked the wrong one, he would lose. This made him have to be very careful and double-check before putting the iron beads in the corresponding bowl.
"Stupid apprentice, you've forgotten what your strengths are again." Seeing Yechen Xing working so hard, Leng Qingling finally couldn't help but speak.
"My strengths?" Yechen Star immediately remembered when Leng Qingling had last said this. It was when he was at a disadvantage in the battle against Zhou Yi on the Shenglong Platform, and at that time, he sacrificed the fire resistance technique to win with difficulty. That's right...... Fire Resistance!
Why did you forget it, my best fire resistance technique is used at this time. Although it is impossible to protect the whole body against the heat wave with Xuan Qi like Song Yushu and a few other Xuan scholars. But Nightstar can use fire resistance.
With a wave of his hand, he released a cloud of mysterious flames that enveloped him. Of course, the Xuan Qi flames created by these Night Stars themselves could not cause him any harm, but they isolated all the heat waves outside.
Yechenxing, who was still too hot just now, immediately felt a chill spread from head to toe. It's as if you suddenly drank a cold drink in the middle of summer, and this time you can finally complete the trial with peace of mind.
As soon as the Yechen Star Fire Resisting Technique was used, it immediately attracted the attention of several people. In fact, at the end of the first level, he and Song Yushu were already targeted.
After this level, it is a talent test. At that time, the sect masters and elders of the Yantian Sect would all be watching from a high place. These people who would stare at Yechenxing and Song Yushu were all people who were consciously strong and talented, and wanted to be appreciated by the elders and accepted as disciples. The sudden display of Nightstar with a powerful fire-controlling ability is likely to pose a challenge to their future position.
"Little Brother Night, your fire control technique is so powerful!" Only Song Yushu beside him sincerely admired Yechen Star's extraordinary fire fighting skills.
"It's nothing...... "Fire control technique is his biggest secret, and of course Yechen Star won't say anything more to Song Yushu.
With the help of the Fire Resisting Technique, Nightstar finally managed to sort all the iron orbs by size, and even had time to check them again. Until a stick of incense is completely burned out. The circle was shut down, and the scorching heat wave disappeared in an instant. The sweaty mysteries fell to the ground, and everyone was exhausted.
"No one is allowed to move again, now start checking!" The elite disciples in charge of the test immediately walked into the circle and began to check everyone's progress one by one.
"You, unqualified." Soon the first unqualified person was born. It was not easy for this mystic to persevere under the scorching heat wave, but he accidentally divided the wrong bead and was eliminated!
No matter how much this person pleaded, it was useless, and he was directly forcibly dragged away by the elite disciples of the Yantian Sect who stepped forward. In the end, the testers who finally survived the first hurdle were eliminated by half! There are fewer and fewer people left, but there are still two test levels waiting for everyone.
"The next level is the talent test, I don't know how many geniuses there are in this group." Song Yushu was still on the side, eager to try. Judging from his promotion to Xuanshi at the age of twenty, it is very likely that the fire talent will be a fifth or even a sixth grade.
There were faint glances around them, and now Song Yushu and Yechen Xing had become the thorns in the eyes of the remaining Xuanshi. Yechen Star naturally doesn't care about this, who let him have the token of Dugu Lieyang. Back then, when he tested his talent, he still had the golden spirit root to make trouble, I don't know how many grades of fire spirit root's talent will come after the golden spirit root is removed now?
After letting everyone rest and recover a bit, a group of people moved again and came to a square in Yantian Sect. In the far side of the square, there is a smoky pavilion, which has been carefully designed to blend perfectly with the surrounding green mountains and clouds, which makes people look at it and marvel. This is the famous Yanyun Tower of Yantian Sect. Yantian Sect Sect Master Ouyang Bai and all the elders were already seated in the Yanyun Tower, paying attention to the results of the entire talent test with great interest.
I don't know if my cheap master Dugu Lieyang is in it...... Nightstar thought to himself. Even with his eyesight, he couldn't really see the faces of the people on the Yanyun Tower.
An old man who was about seventy or eighty years old replaced the original elite disciple and stood in front of everyone. "Congratulations, you have passed the first two rounds of testing. Wait a minute, and you'll be tested at the third level. Those whose talents do not reach the fourth grade will unfortunately be eliminated. Good luck! ”
At the beginning of this level, the testers clearly felt the importance of the Yantian Sect. Among the hundred people who are still left, the vast majority of them will eventually become disciples of the Yantian Sect.
"This is a talent stone that specializes in testing fire-based talents. Now that the test begins, which of you will come first? The old man stepped over to a three-meter-tall dark red stone pillar and announced the start of the test. Assigned here to be in charge of the talent test, although the status of this old man will not be at the level of an elder, it is definitely not low. The strength has also reached the Xuan Ling.
"I'll come first!" A teenager who was quite confident in himself came out of the crowd and started the test first.
"In the city of Lower Qingzhou, Huda." Before the test, the teenager did not forget to report to his home, and bowed to the smoke cloud tower. The purpose was, of course, to attract the attention of the elders on the smoke cloud tower. At the same time, it is also in Liwei, and many of the testers who are still here will become the new disciples of Yantian Sect, and if the talent is ranked first, they will naturally have a higher status.
After the salute, Hu Da placed his palm on the talent stone and slowly entered the Xuan Qi. The originally dark red talent stone immediately ignited with fiery flames. From the base of the talent stone, a dazzling pillar of golden light quickly spread upward. The scale engraved on the talent stone is used to show the standard of talent grade.
1 Grid...... 2 Blocks ...... Three-grid ...... The talent of the young man who dared to come up first was really good, and in the end, the light stayed in the middle of the fifth grade but not as good as the sixth grade.
"Five-grade intermediate talent, good, next!" The fifth-grade intermediate talent is enough to shock the world outside. But when it comes to the entry test of the Yantian Sect, it is completely different. The old man in charge of the test glanced at the talent stone and reported the results loudly. The minimum requirement to pass the test is a four-rank fire talent, and this Huda certainly passed.
After listening to the old man's announcement, Huda immediately walked down on his toes. In the original power, his talent must have been held up in the sky in the name of genius. It's a pity that he's in the wrong place today, and he'll know how ignorant he is later.
Of course, the people who passed the first two rounds of tests could not all be geniuses, and then a few more went up, all of them were fourth-grade intermediate or high-level talents, and none of them surpassed the fifth-grade.
Seeing this, Yechen Star finally understood why this talent test was arranged at the third level. The fourth level should be the most important part of the assessment, but now there are still nearly 100 people who are eligible to take the test. It is impossible for the elders to observe the performance of so many people at the same time in the final level.
This third level is a screening process that allows the elders to select the talents they like, and then observe their performance in the test in the fourth level. It can be said that after the test is over, some people have lost their status as the elder's personal disciples.
These four-rank talented people naturally understood this, but even if they only became ordinary disciples of the Yantian Sect, they would only be able to refine the Yellow Order Mysterious Weapon in their lifetime. In the world, you can also be beautiful. That was an achievement that they would never be able to obtain as ordinary martial cultivators with their four-rank fire talent.
