Chapter Eighty-Four: Dissatisfied
Although all ten of them passed the test, the rankings could still be distinguished.
Jiang Luoan undoubtedly became the first place again.
Gong Junxing ranked fourth, and he was a little unconvinced when he saw this result. He thinks that his cultivation is not bad, and he has improved greatly recently, why can't he compare to this transfer student who has just been here for a long time?
Seeing that the others congratulated Jiang Luo'an one after another, Gong Junxing became even more angry.
"Fuling apprenticeship, I didn't use all my strength when I competed just now, and now I still want to challenge Jiang Luoan alone."
His level just now was already very high, didn't he use all his strength yet? How much has he improved lately?
Everyone looked at him expectantly, and Gong Junxing released his spiritual power without concealment. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then exploded.
There is no other reason, it's just that Gong Junxing's cultivation is actually close to Wei Mian!
Gong Junxing's cultivation is good, but it is still a little far from Wei Mian. When did his cultivation become so high?
Fu Ling was also taken aback, turned her head and saw that Jiang Luoan did not object, so she agreed to his challenge.
The two walked onto the competition platform, looking at the surprised appearance of the others, Gong Junxing became more confident in himself.
Jiang Luoan has always been a stronger character when he is strong. She was also very interested in realizing that Gong Junxing was the one who was still practicing diligently until late at night that night.
She will also take this competition seriously.
Gong Junxing was very cautious in every move, and he also specifically attacked Jiang Luoan's side, which was difficult to detect. But Jiang Luoan seemed to be covered with eyes, and every time he dodged before he almost hit the move.
Once or twice it can be said that she was a fluke, but many times it must have been deliberate. Jiang Luoan also picked up the gap between Gong Junxing's attacks, which was when he was the weakest in defense, and he could often succeed.
Under another attack, Jiang Luoan ejected a projectile with his fingertips, right in the waist of Gong Junxing. Gong Junxing was just about to turn around, when he suddenly felt a numbness in his waist, and the balance of his whole body was lost, and he couldn't control himself from falling off the test table.
The others were also about to break their glasses, but they didn't expect Jiang Luoan to win so easily, it seems that she also kept a hand when she competed with Fuling before.
After watching the whole process on the side, Fu Ling couldn't help but sigh that she had accepted Jiang Luoan at the beginning, otherwise she would have regretted how much she had missed such a good seedling now.
If Jiang Luoan can continue to practice diligently, it will not be surprising that she will definitely be able to make a great achievement.
These ten people have already obtained the qualifications to officially become disciples of the Futu Palace, and they will be taken up the mountain tomorrow.
The first time I went up the mountain, according to the rules, I was not allowed to use spiritual power, and I could only walk up with my feet.
This Mengshan Mountain doesn't look too high, but when I really walked up, I found that this not high mountain was just a trick.
When Fujing took Jiang Luoan to the halfway point of Mengshan Mountain, the two of them used their spiritual power to speed up their footsteps a lot, but they also arrived from noon to evening. Now they can't even use spiritual power to eliminate the fatigue around their bodies, and the speed at which everyone moves forward is even slower.
Fu Ling took these ten people from the rising sun to the three poles of the sun, and when he looked up, the Futu Palace was still very far away.
At noon, they found an open place on the mountain to rest, and after a slight adjustment, they continued their journey in the afternoon.
While eating, Chu Xiao came to Jiang Luo'an and complained in a low voice, "I don't know what kind of strange rule it is not allowed to use spiritual power, it's been a long time and it hasn't arrived." In this way, it is impossible to get there until the evening. ”
Jiang Luoan didn't think anything, "This is probably the first test that the Futu Palace will give to new disciples." ”
Chu Xiao was still a little dissatisfied, thinking about how to make the afternoon journey easier.
After resting, when everyone continued to set off, Chu Xiao deliberately dragged his feet and followed at the back of the team.
Anyway, no one looked back at him, so he quietly used a little spiritual power to make the road under his feet a lot easier.
Fu Ling stood at the front of the line, nine people between the two. Chu Xiao thought that Fu Ling would not be able to see himself if he did this, and he also specially controlled the spiritual power to prevent it from leaking.
But Fu Ling has brought so many new students, and she knows exactly what these people are thinking. When she just set off, she saw that Chu Xiao's expression was a little unnatural, so she paid extra attention.
Sure enough, there was a small move behind her.
Fu Ling suddenly stood still, and suddenly turned to look at him before Chu Xiao could react, "Chu Xiao, what are you doing?" ”
Chu Xiao was taken aback, and his spiritual power was also unstable, and several people in front of him could detect it.
He quickly withdrew his spiritual power and obediently admitted his mistake, "Fuling apprentice, I did something wrong, I will definitely not dare next time." ”
Seeing his cheating tricks like this, Jiang Luoan looked at Wei Mian, and couldn't imagine that he, as a prince, was quite able to endure hardships.
The group did not reach the Futu Palace until the moon rose.
Coming out to greet them was Elder Furong. Although this group of people was admitted in advance, he still affirmed the strength of these people. In order to test how well they cultivated, they had three trials in the next three days.
When Fu Ling handed over to Elder Fu Rong, he also deliberately mentioned the conflict between them and the Third Elder. It will be difficult for her to protect these students in the future, and she hopes that Elder Furong can help her take care of them more.
After explaining the things to pay attention to, Fu Ling glanced at these disciples again and prepared to leave.
Seeing the reluctance flowing in Fu Ling's eyes, Jiang Luoan suddenly stepped forward and said, "Fu Ling apprentice, although we haven't known each other for a long time, I still thank the apprentice for his teaching. Now that the time has come to part, please accept the disciples' bows. So saying, she stooped down and bowed neatly.
The others were influenced by Jiang Luo'an, and they also saluted behind her.
Fu Ling shook Jiang Luo'an's hand as she helped her up, and Jiang Luo'an felt that she took the opportunity to stuff something into her palm, which was soft.
When she closed it, she skimmed it with her spare eyes, and it turned out to be a small bag. It seems that she was embarrassed to give it to her in front of everyone, so she took this opportunity to secretly hand it over.
As soon as Elder Furong led them into the gate of the Futu Palace, he was called away by a disciple who came in a hurry. Before leaving, he only said, "You guys should take a look here for yourself and get acquainted with it," and left in a hurry.
The people who were left behind looked at each other, some of them crying and laughing.
They don't know each other here, they carry a lot of baggage, and now they don't even know where they want to stay at night. When Elder Furong left, he didn't remember to arrange for a disciple to show them the way.
Since they didn't know the route and didn't dare to wander around here, they could only keep asking the disciples who passed by. The movement of ten people is not small.
Since they were recruited in advance, some of the outer disciples felt that they had come in through the back door. The Futu Palace is so difficult to enter, if they hadn't used some means, how could they have entered in advance?
In order to vent their dissatisfaction, a bunch of outer disciples decided to find fault on the first night of the arrival of these new students.
After being surrounded by a group of unkind-faced outer disciples, Jiang Luoan was not afraid, "What are you doing here?" ”
The man who took the lead put his hands on his waist and said with one chin: "Don't do anything, it's disgusting to just watch you come in with despicable means, and it's not pleasing to the eye." ”
Jiang Luoan had long guessed that some people might be unconvinced. She wasn't going to bother talking to these people more, just speak with her strength.
Not to mention herself, even Wei Mian Chu Xiao is much stronger than many outer disciples.
She just wanted to put down the burden she was carrying on her shoulders, but she saw Wei Mian take the first step to shake off the things she was carrying, and drew her long sword to meet it.
Wei Mian's style is not slow, even if a group of people surround him, he is also handy, and he quickly knocked down this group of troublemakers.
These people who came to find fault did not have a high status in the outer gate, and they wanted to give these freshmen a dismount first, so that they would be respectful to themselves in the future, but they didn't expect the horse to stumble.
After knocking down these people, Wei Mian grabbed one person's collar and pulled it out, "Say, where do we live?" ”
The man was a little out of breath, Wei Mian's hand relaxed slightly, and he said while panting: "Follow this road forward, not far away." ”
Wei Mian glanced at him, thinking that he wouldn't lie, so he took everyone in the direction he pointed out.
The ten of them had finally settled down, and it was almost time to rest.
Jiang Luoan habitually practiced for a while before falling asleep. Thinking about Su Chenyu, who had not seen each other for many days, she actually began to miss something.
Early the next morning, Elder Furong gathered their new disciples and said that he would take them to the first trial.
The site of this trial is a cliff. There were three peaks in front of them, the highest of which could only accommodate one or two people, and they came to the place where one of them was close to the top.
The three peaks are connected by thick iron chains. The wind in the valley was so strong that the heavy chains swayed.
"The task of your trial today is to walk over this chain, reach the farthest peak, and then return. As long as you can come back, you will be considered successful in the first level of the trial. ”
Looking at the shaky chains blown by the wind in the distance, you can imagine how strong the wind is there. This is only the first level, and I don't know how terrible the trials that lie ahead will be.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Elder Furong said again: "You don't have to worry, this is just a trial, and there will be no danger of life." ”
Everyone was relieved at this time, it seems that Elder Furong should have been prepared. His cultivation is high, and he should come forward to pull everyone when they are in danger.
Wei Mian continued to ask for the first pass. He didn't start walking immediately after standing on the chain, but got used to feeling the frequency of the chain shaking, and then began to walk forward.
But once he started walking, he was not slow, and walked steadily step by step.
The first half of the road was quite easy, but when he reached the middle, Wei Mian found that some hidden weapons were attacking from behind.
It's hard for him to turn back now, but he still dodges these hidden weapons with experience.
After he returned, he didn't know who had placed the hidden weapon, so he only observed in the crowd.
The others went up one after another, and Jiang Luoan dragged it to the end.
Gong Junxing passed early, standing aside and laughing at Jiang Luoan.
"I can't imagine that Miss Jiang's courage is so small, just the wind blows the iron chain and scares you like this, what should you do if you encounter a more dangerous situation in the future, is it difficult to let someone else save you?"
Elder Furong also thought she was scared, and comforted her beside him, "This is just a test, there will be no danger." ”
Jiang Luo'an looked at Elder Furong's smiling face, smiled at him, and didn't speak.
There is no danger, it is just a nice thing to say. She had stood here for so long, and so many people in front of her had swayed when they reached the most dangerous area in the middle, and she was obviously unsteady on her feet. A few of them almost fell. But no matter what happened, Elder Furong had been watching the play with his hands behind his back, and he didn't seem to have any intention of interfering.
Whether this is due to trust in them or for other reasons is unknown.
