Spiritual consciousness is the key to distinguishing martial artists from non-martial artists.

There are many people who do not have the talent to practice martial arts, or who have not been properly guided, and do not feel the aura at all, and these people are collectively referred to as "non-martial artists".

Of course, they can also forcibly practice martial arts, but they can only exercise the strength of the body itself, and cannot use the aura to cultivate, and their combat effectiveness is extremely low. The disciples of the outside family of Lin Zhuang naturally do not recruit those who do not have the slightest talent and foundation for martial arts, this is their bottom line.

Psionic sense affects spiritual gathering. Generally speaking, martial arts practitioners who can enter the spiritual realm can basically enter the spiritual gathering.

Spiritual gathering, as the name suggests, refers to the ability to gather aura.

Spirit Gathering is a time stage for Spirit Sense Realm martial artists. The level of the spiritual gathering determines the spiritual energy character of the cultivator, and the higher the spiritual gathering, the higher the spiritual energy grade. And the higher the grade of Reiki, the better the effect of using Reiki.

The martial artists who enter the Spirit Gathering Realm can basically use the aura, and they all already have high martial power, which can be regarded as martial artists in the true sense.

As for spirituality, it can be understood as the gathering of high-purity aura, that is, the later stage of spiritual gathering will show the attributes of aura.

The aura is divided into five element attributes, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, most people only cultivate one attribute, a few geniuses have two attributes, and demons have three or five. As for the spiritual flow, Linghu, and Linghai, the three are mainly the difference in the concentration and concentration of spiritual energy. The various differences in these realms will be elaborated on later, and will not be shown for the time being.

Regarding Lin Zhuang's recruitment of foreign disciples, Zhang Teng had already inquired about it from others. Lin Zhuang's foreign disciples recruited requirements, and he basically met them.

However, the applicant had to enter the spiritual realm, which made him a little apprehensive.

Prior to this, Zhang Teng had never studied martial arts, and he had not received the guidance of a martial artist, so he had no clue at all about how to feel the aura.

Of course, such things did not bother him for long.

Because the method of entering the spiritual realm is actually nothing special, the main thing is to concentrate and calm the mind. As long as you concentrate and have the talent for martial arts, you can naturally feel the aura between heaven and earth.

This method was told to Zhang Teng by a student from a martial arts family in the village school, and the price Zhang Teng spent for this was to help the other party do a few homework.

Zhang Teng tried many times according to the method told by the other party, and finally one morning ten days ago, he clearly felt the aura and entered the spiritual realm.

I heard that when Lin Zhuang recruits foreign disciples, he will deliberately create some interference, and applicants need to complete the spiritual consciousness realm test in the interference, so that they can pass the test. After all, Zhang Teng has entered the spiritual realm for less than half a month, and the matter of practicing martial arts is a matter of fate, and it is false to say that he is not nervous.

Having said that, but Zhang Teng is already an adult, and he can self-regulate when he is a little nervous, and it is nothing.

At noon, the rammed earth square in the center of Linjiazhuang was crowded, and around the square stood a Zhuang Ding with a spear at intervals.

These Zhuang Ding are tall, strong, mighty and brave, like statues standing solemnly, which shows that they are well-trained. As a martial arts family, the Lin family is really strong, which is very different from ordinary villages.

Although there were a lot of people in the square, it was orderly, and the recruitment of foreign disciples was still carried out in an orderly manner, and there was no chaos.

I heard that this year's applicants are the largest in five years, with at least more than 600 people, and the total number of places is only 30. The reason for this situation is mainly that there have been a lot of refugees from other places this year, who, like Zhang Teng, have settled in the local area, and also hope to become disciples of Linzhuang's foreign family and change their fate through martial arts.

The recruiter has set up a few long tables under the ring, and the applicants are coming one after another, forming two long queues to register there.

It is understood that applicants will directly test their spiritual sense at the registration office, and after meeting all aspects, they will be issued with the corresponding number plate, which is considered to be eligible to participate. Those who have obtained the qualification will be arranged together, according to the age level, respectively, a round of competition, the winner will stay, and the loser will be eliminated.

Of course, not all qualifiers need to compete. Some people are considered to be internally booked and can be recruited directly, which may not be fair, but it is normal. Human society is very complex, and there are always some people who take shortcuts wherever they are.

Zhang Teng came a little late, so he was at the back of the line, and when it was his turn to sign up, the registration book was already marked with number 688.

There were a lot of people in the square, and Zhang Teng was at the back of the line before, and he couldn't see how the registration office conducted the spiritual test. Now that it was his turn, he couldn't help but be a little curious.

The person who made the registration was a gray-clothed young man in his twenties, his appearance was unremarkable, but his eyes were bright and sharp. Many of the children who signed up couldn't help but be nervous when they met his eyes, and they became cautious when they spoke. Some timid and shy little girls will even stutter when they are glared at by him, and even tearfully speechless.

The young man in gray was impatient, and when faced with this situation, he often motioned for the personnel on the side to take him aside and deal with the young woman in the aqua green clothes at the other registration office.

At this time, Zhang Teng was already standing in front of the gray-clothed young man, the other party raised his head, glanced at him coldly, and asked, "Name?"

Zhang Teng calmly replied: "Li Village, Zhang Teng, nine and a half years old. ”

The gray-clothed young man stared at him closely, and it took him a while before he lowered his head and wrote the words "Li Village Zhang Teng is nine and a half years old". Later, he asked, "Have you ever practiced martial arts?"

Zhang Teng replied honestly: "No." ”

"Oh?" the gray-clothed young man looked up, slightly surprised, but didn't say much, just nodded. He took out three identical small stones from under the table and asked Zhang Teng: "Which of these three stones is special? You can touch them, or you can close your eyes and feel them." ”

Zhang Teng listened, reached out and touched the three stones, feeling that one was cold, one was warm, and the other was cold with a sense of paralysis. He closed his eyes again, and only felt that the three stones in front of him all contained aura, giving people a cold, hot and violent feeling respectively.

So, he said, "All three are different. One is cold, one is hot, and one is cold and numb. ”

"Whew!"

"Hey!"

"Haha, Meng, what nonsense. ”

"That is, people are asking which piece is special. ”

"This kid hasn't entered the Spiritual Consciousness Realm yet!"

"Chance? Haha......"

......

At this time, the people around listened to Zhang Teng's words, and many people couldn't help laughing out loud and mocked him.

As far as they knew, only one of the three stones contained aura, and the other two were just ordinary stones. The previous test refers to the person who recognized a stone and passed.

The gray-clothed young man's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was no expression on his face.

He looked at Zhang Teng for a long time, until he saw Zhang Teng's face showing nervousness, and then spit out two words: "Pass." ”

As he spoke, he handed Zhang Teng a wooden sign and motioned for him to walk towards the group of qualified people.

"Ahh

"Hmph, it's the one who is booked inside. I don't know whose voice came from the crowd coldly, with a deep jealousy.

"Yes, no wonder. ”

"Yes. People have a way, but they can't do it. ”

The people around him seemed to suddenly realize and echoed each other, and the tones of different voices were intertwined with various complex emotions such as dissatisfaction, jealousy, resentment, and helplessness.

If the gray-clothed young man didn't hear it, he put the three stones back under the table and said coldly, "Next." ”

After Zhang Teng walked into the team, several Zhuang Ding divided them into three groups according to their age, a group of seven and eight years old, a group of nine and ten years old, and a group of eleven and twelve years old. Then the elimination of some applicants began.

The elimination method is very simple, each group takes the ring as the center, runs ten laps on the large, medium and small three ring tracks demarcated in the square, and finishes the next round of qualification within the specified time. Ten laps down, basically eliminated more than ninety percent of the applicants.

At this time, there are still 76 people in the three groups who have qualified for the next round. The seven-year-old and eight-year-old group had the smallest number, with only 12 people. Nine-year-old, ten-year-old group of twenty-eight. Eleven-year-olds, twelve-year-olds have the most in the group, with a total of thirty-six.

Since the total number of applicants still exceeds the enrollment quota, Lin Zhuang has adopted another conventional elimination method, that is, to eliminate the excess applicants through a competition to allocate the quota.

The specific method is to recruit the winners of the first and second rounds with a seven-year-old and eight-year-old group, with a total of eight places.

The nine-year-old and ten-year-old group will be allocated seven places, and the top seven will be recruited for a competition within the group.

As for the eleven and twelve-year-old groups, the top 12 in the group will be recruited. That is to say, there are a total of thirty places for the disciples of the outside family in Lin Zhuang, twenty-seven people are selected, and three people are directly recruited.

Zhang Teng was assigned to the nine-year-old and ten-year-old group, and fortunately, he ran around on weekdays to exercise a good pair of legs and feet, and successfully qualified for the next round.

At present, he has won at least two competitions to get a place in martial arts.

However, this is not easy, because of the twenty-eight people in his group, nearly twenty-two can be seen to have a foundation in martial arts, and although the remaining five have no foundation, they are taller than Zhang Teng and have a stronger physique than Zhang Teng. In the face of these opponents, Zhang Teng felt a little pressured.

He secretly clenched his fists and told himself that he must go all out and fight to the end. Because there was only one opportunity to practice martial arts, he absolutely couldn't let it slip away from him.

No matter what, I'm going to win, I'm going to win!

Zhang Teng's heart was roaring, his eyes were as red as blood, like an enraged beast that could choose someone to devour at any time.

He was peaceful by nature and never a belligerent man, but under the pressure of the harsh living environment, he had no choice!

Ever since he came to this other world, his heart has been filled with an unprecedented sadness and anger!

Because he senses the viciousness of fate!

It taunted him, it persecuted him, turned him into a hungry and lowly wild dog. He also let him, a wild dog, suffer all kinds of abuse and beatings for a bone. They even had to bite each other and kill each other with their own kind.

It has been persecuting him, taking off the garb of humanity, exposing its own ugliness, abandoning all ridiculous self-esteem, allowing it to be humiliated, ravaged, and trampled on.

Zhang Teng could feel that kind of insult, that kind of meanness, that kind of shame!

And this time, he wants to choke it, change his life, and go the way he wants to go!

Fight, whoever it is, don't try to stop me from taking control of my own destiny!

I, Zhang Teng, will turn into a horizontal blade, intercept and kill all kinds of sorrows, start a game with fate, and die without regrets!
