Chapter 13 Lost to the Crowd
Jingwen pushed open the door and found that it was Zhang Yao outside the house, and he was a little surprised.
Zhang Yao was tall, her long black hair fluttering in the wind, standing there slim, her skin was white and delicate, her eyes were big, her eyelashes were very long, and she looked very aura, but when she looked at Jing Wen, her eyes were not very friendly.
Jingwen also knew that she had caused her to lose the gambling contract, and now she was helpless to see her like this.
"These are sixty human soul stones, twenty of which were given to you by Mu Qingfeng, she said that she repaid them, and the remaining forty were given by me to offset my bet. Zhang Yao didn't talk nonsense, gave the human soul stone to Jingwen, and turned around and left.
Jing Wen saw that she came and went in a hurry, shook his head with a wry smile, put the human soul stone into the Qiankun bag, turned around and went back to the house to continue practicing.
..................
Time flies, fleeting.
On this day, Jingwen stood in the bamboo forest.
Black clouds hovered in the night sky, and the sky was gloomy against the earth, and the rain falling from the sky swept across the vast earth in the cold and whistling wind.
On the low mountain, there is no village in front of the village, and there is no land in the back, and there is only a lonely bamboo forest and a lonely figure.
In the dark clouds of the night sky, a low thunder sounded, and the rain between heaven and earth gradually became heavier.
There is no time in the mountains, four years, a snap of a finger.
The young man stood in the bamboo forest, looking at the heavy rain, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of bitterness.
Jing Wen recalled that four years ago, the young man at the beginning, confident and with immeasurable potential, through his daily hard practice, he made great progress in the first year of entering the sect, and cultivated to the third level.
At the end of the year, when the rookie disciples were assessed, he achieved the third result, although he failed to come out on top in the test, but he also performed well, and did not insult his reputation as a genius, and he was confident that in time, he would be able to leave the name of the Qianlong Tablet.
However, the path of genius may always be tortuous, I don't know why, in the next three years, his level has stayed at the third level, until later, even the head of the sect personally summoned him and taught him carefully, but his soul power level still stopped at the third level, not moving at all, and the head and the elders were also at a loss.
This former genius boy, with the passage of time, was slowly overtaken by his peers, far behind, and even inferior to the outer disciples.
fell from a genius, and gradually reached the point where he was not even as good as a disciple of the outer sect, and in three years, he suffered the most cruel blow from childhood to adulthood, so that the young man was silent from then on, and the name of genius was gradually replaced by disdain and ridicule.
Tomorrow is the day of the year-end assessment, Jingwen watched the rain on the horizon gradually become majestic, he didn't care, just stood like that, silently venting his unwillingness.
There was a loud "boom", there was a thunderous thunder in the sky, white lightning slashed across the sky with teeth and claws, and the dark night sky was split in two.
A moment later, the raindrops the size of beans fell like marbles and crackled on the rocks.
In the blink of an eye, there was a fog, and Jingwen's whole body was completely soaked in a moment, his clothes were tightly attached to his body, and he was indescribably cold.
Between heaven and earth, it seems that he is the only one left, here, suffering, bearing endless wind and rain.
The rain was pouring down, but it seemed that he didn't pay attention to him at all, and the rain carried the wind and howled on him!
The rain trickled down his eyes and down his face, and Jingwen's eyes could barely be opened.
At this time, the stone house in the distance opened gently, and a figure, a pair of jade feet, stepped out of the stone house, stepped on a hurried pace, walked through the courtyard, crossed the path, held an oil-paper umbrella, and came to him.
Jingwen raised his head with difficulty, lightning flashed in the sky, thunder did not stop, and with a glimmer of light, he saw a soft woman, standing in front of him.
Jingwen was stunned for a moment.
The lightning was fleeting, and Fu Bottle's figure was also drowned in darkness.
But above Jingwen's head, there was already an oil-paper umbrella.
On a stormy night, such a gentle figure stood quietly in front of him.
"It's raining heavily, let's go back. "The voice is soft, inaudible.
..................
The next day, inside the Yellow Building.
"Soul power, level three. ”
Looking at the five big characters on the blue jade wall, Jing Wen's face was expressionless, a touch of self-deprecation appeared in his eyes, and his fists were clenched, although he already knew, but his heart ached faintly.
"Jingwen, soul power, level three. Level: Inferior. Next to the blue jade wall, Elder Wang glanced at the words displayed on the jade wall and opened his mouth with a sigh.
Everyone in the assessment talked about it.
"Level 3? Could this person be pretended to be a new disciple, it's been four years, and he's still at level 3, and the worst outer disciples are all level 5, who is this person?"
"It's really a shame for our inner disciple, it's better than an outer disciple. ”
"I heard that he is still a rare soul power, and I don't know who released the rumors before, just this kind of person, he still has rare soul power! Only Senior Brother Jiang Li is a rare soul power, this kind of waste material should be relegated to the outer door, so as not to lose the face of the inner disciples. ”
A disdainful ridicule came from around him, which fell on Jing Wen's ears, which was stiff, making his breathing slightly rapid, but he soon calmed down again. It's just that the fists are clenched tighter.
"What are you talking nonsense, you are capable, you are powerful, why haven't you broken through the soul attraction realm and reached the initial realm, you only know how to talk here. Qin Feng blocked Jing Wen behind him and said.
Four years have passed, and now Qin Feng is already tall, with a hard face, sharp edges and corners, and a resolute expression between his eyebrows.
"Qin Feng, do you have to take care of us even if we say a word? Luo Guan, who was not far away, said with a smile, but his words were not kind.
Seeing Luo Guan coming over, Fu Beiyu took a step forward lightly and stood beside Jingwen.
"Okay, don't argue here, or I'll throw people out. Elder Wang spoke unquestionably.
"Next, Luo Guan. Elder Wang then spoke.
Hearing Elder Wang's shout, Luo Guan walked to the jade wall with a smile.
The wide palm touched the pale blue jade wall with ease, and then released his soul power.
After Luo Guan released his soul power, words slowly appeared on the blue jade wall.
"Soul Power: Level 8. ”
"Luo Guan, Soul Power: Level 8!Level: Superior!"
"Heh!" Seeing the information on the jade wall, Luo Guan looked at Qin Feng and Fu Beiyu, and a smug smile rose on the corner of his mouth.
"Senior Brother Luo is really powerful, worthy of being the grandson of the Dharma Protector, the power of the eighth-level soul is really powerful, if you continue to cultivate like this, Senior Brother Luo will be able to break through to the initial realm next year and leave the name of the Hidden Dragon Stele." A disciple said flatteringly.
Listening to the bursts of flattery coming from behind him, the smile on Luo Guan's face was even more.
"Next, Qin Feng. ”
Qin Feng also took a soul power test, and his level was the same as Luo Guan's, which was level eight.
Soon after, when it was Hu Ding's turn to be assessed, he gently patted Jingwen on the shoulder, and then stepped forward to take the test.
He reached the seventh level, but with Qin Feng and Luo Guan in front, Hu Ding at the seventh level was not so eye-catching, Liu Dong and Yu Xia were at the sixth level, and the little fat man also broke through to the sixth level a few days ago.
In the past few years, Luo Guan, Qin Feng and Fu Beiyu have been making great progress all the way, leaving everyone else behind.
In addition to the first year, Jingwen won the third, and in the next three years, the first three in the annual cultivation assessment were all taken by the three of them.
And among these three people, the most powerful cultivator is Fu Bottle, except for the first year, in the next three years, Fu Bottled Rain has always been in the first place.
"Next, Fu Bottle Rain. "Elder Wang also has some expectations.
With the sound of this somewhat clear name, the crowd suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes moved to the girl.
Four years have passed, and the girl who used to be a little childish has been very beautiful. With the cultivation of the past few years, her temperament has changed a lot, her black hair dances lightly, her long eyelashes flutter, her eyes are clear, her red lips and jade teeth are shining with crystal luster, her neck is fair, and her facial features are exquisite, like an empty valley orchid, very dusty, exuding a quiet beauty.
She smiled softly at Jingwen. The lotus step moved slightly, and the girl walked to the jade wall, her right hand stretched out, and the long sleeves slid down gently, revealing a snow-white and tender wrist, caressing the jade wall along the texture, releasing her soul power.
After a moment of silence.
Words gradually appeared on the blue jade wall.
Jingwen also looked at it curiously.
When everyone saw the words, the brief silence was broken in an instant. Exclamations rang out in the Yellow Tower.
"Soul power, level ten. Grade: Top. Elder Wang said excitedly.
So everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, in just four years, Fu Bottled Rain reached the top of the first layer, the tenth level, it won't be long before this woman can break through the soul attraction realm, reach the second layer of the initial realm, and rank among the hidden dragon stone tablets, she is the real genius of the sect, compared to her, Jingwen seems so dim.
"It turned out to be the tenth level, this kind of cultivation speed can no longer be said to be powerful, but it is a little terrifying, on the Qianlong Stone Tablet, Senior Brother Jiang Li also broke through in October of the fourth year, at this speed, Fu Bottled Rain may surpass Senior Brother Jiang Li and become the fastest person to break through the first layer of the realm among the disciples today. ”
After exclaiming, the surrounding disciples all sighed involuntarily, their eyes full of awe.
Luo Guan looked at Fu Beiyu, and there was a hint of jealousy in his eyes. Qin Feng looked at Fu Beiyu and smiled, his eyes revealing admiration and high-spirited fighting intent.
Looking at the information on the jade wall and the girl in front of him, Elder Wang also showed a rare smile, and praised the girl: "Well, yes, yes, you have reached the peak of the first layer of the Soul Attraction Realm, work hard, I hope you will break through as soon as possible and engrave your name on the Qianlong Stone Tablet, remember not to slack off!"
"Yes, Elder. The girl nodded respectfully, calmly accepting everyone's praise and praise.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Jingwen left a little lonely and walked slowly to the third floor, in the past few years, his level has not improved at all, and he has stayed at the third level.
However, his physical fitness is constantly improving, and more than half a year ago, he was able to withstand the pressure and reach the center of the third floor. At that time, his physical strength was already comparable to the initial realm, and he didn't know if he could go to the deepest part now.
