Chapter 13: Sword Assessment (I)
(Updated for the ranking, a new month and a new day, ask for a monthly pass, rush rush!)
In the afternoon, the sun is high and blazing.
Chen Zong's four people gathered in the Vertical and Horizontal Sword Hall again, and then, under the leadership of Sect Master Lin Zhonghan, they walked through the Vertical and Horizontal Sword Hall and walked inside.
"The assessment of the sword is divided into two parts, and those who pass first within the specified time will be able to become the sword of the sect, and the rest will be eliminated. Lin Zhonghan said, and the flat tone contained undoubted power.
Even if the power of the powerhouse of the transcendent realm only leaks a little, it is very strong, and arrogant people like Long Changzhi do not dare to refute it, otherwise they will be directly expelled and lose the qualification to compete for the sword of the sect.
Keep walking forward, through door after door, as if you are about to walk into an endless place.
After a few minutes, Lin Zhonghan paused and pointed to the four closed doors in front of him: "Everyone chooses a door to enter, and the way of assessment will be known after you enter." ”
"Go ahead and use all your abilities. ”
Chen Zong and the four of them took a deep breath, and then, Long Changzhi's figure flashed, and he rushed forward in a domineering posture like a streamer, and took the lead in choosing a door to open and enter.
Chen Zong pushed open the door and immediately felt a fresh air flow permeating the room.
After stepping through the door, the door closed automatically, and the originally dark inner room suddenly lit up like daylight, illuminating the surroundings and revealing the details.
Chen Zong's gaze swept away, and he stared ahead in a daze.
It was a wall, a peculiar-looking wall, this kind of wall, which made Chen Zong feel a sense of déjà vu.
Trap the wall!
On that day, when the assessment was carried out in the Dragon Pavilion in the royal capital of the Yunlong Dynasty, the first level was to crack the mechanism wall.
Cracking the wall of the mechanism is a relatively comprehensive ability, which requires memory, deduction ability, comprehension ability, insight, etc., which happen to be the necessary abilities of a martial artist.
Compared with the mechanism wall in front of him and the mechanism wall assessed by the Dragon Pavilion, it is several times more complex and more sophisticated.
It was certain that an ordinary cultivator of the Nine Turns Peak Martial Arts of the Cultivation Realm would be confused when he saw such a mechanism wall, and he would feel dizzy even after a few more glances.
Speaking of which, the mechanism wall is a very popular assessment, but the composition of different mechanism walls is often different, and it is not that cracking one mechanism wall is equivalent to being able to crack other mechanism walls.
On the left wall hangs a timer, and the hands turn slowly at a subtle speed, indicating that the time is up.
Chen Zong first closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and eliminated all the distracting thoughts in his mind, and then opened his eyes, and his eyes were clear and reflected the entire wall.
The pupils constricted like a needle, swept over little by little, and first remembered the overall outline of the wall, like an imprint in his mind, from large to small, from the outside to the inside, every detail was firmly remembered by Chen Zong.
Since obtaining the mysterious sword tip, Chen Zong's own potential has continued to be developed, and with the improvement of his cultivation and the breakthrough of the realm, his own potential has also been further developed, and it is not difficult to forget.
Rao was like this, this complex wall of mechanism also took Chen Zong nearly a quarter of an hour to fully remember, and the hands on the timer walked nearly a quarter of the circle.
After completely memorizing it, Chen Zong looked for the operation law, and only by grasping the law could he carry out the next step of deduction, and then he could hope to crack it.
"Which first-class faction's mechanism wall is this?" Long Changzhi frowned, looked at it carefully, and immediately a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth: "It doesn't matter which first-class faction it is, the basic principles of the mechanism wall are almost the same, and I have already mastered the foundation of the mechanism wall." ”
That's where they come in.
Whether or not you have learned the foundation of the machine wall varies greatly.
The same two people, all aspects of the ability is similar, but one has learned the foundation of the mechanism wall and the other has not, when cracking the mechanism wall, the former will be easier.
After all, if you know some basic knowledge, you can better see and deduce.
Yan Hua and Xiao Jinpeng have more or less been exposed to the basic knowledge of the machine wall, and it can be said that among the four, only Chen Zong has not learned the basic knowledge of the machine wall.
"Zhonghan, do you think these four people have any hope of becoming the swords of the sect?" The old man, who was dressed in a green robe and had a white beard but a face as ruddy as a baby, asked, his voice like a river.
"Patriarch, I can't see it. Sect Master Lin Zhonghan replied respectfully.
The one who can make the sect leader Lin Zhonghan treat him so respectfully and call the patriarch is the only one person in the entire Zongheng Sword Sect, and that is the patriarch of the sect.
This patriarch of the sect is also the previous sect master, after leaving office, he became a patriarch, in terms of status, he is still above the sect master, of course, in terms of real power, but the sect master is the first.
"Since Yuxie and Zuo Shanmei, no one in this sect has passed the sect's sword assessment for several years, and I hope that one will appear this time. The patriarch sighed softly.
Yu Evil, refers to Lin Yu Evil, who passed the assessment and became a sword of the sect, and now, he is one of the five great Tianjiao in Tianjiang Mansion, and Zuo Shan Mei became a sword of the sect a few years later than Lin Yuxie, and now it is ranked among the second-line genius camps of Tianjiang Mansion, and is expected to impact the first-line camp.
The assessment of the sword of the sect is very difficult, and the elders of the outer sect under normal circumstances, they only have one chance to recommend in their lives, if they make great contributions to the sect or exchange their own sect contributions, they can have a second or even third chance to recommend.
To put it simply, the first opportunity is free, and the next opportunity must be paid.
As for the Inner Gate Elders, they are not subject to this restriction, and of course, the Inner Gate Elders will not be arbitrarily recommended because of this.
Almost every year, there will be a sect sword assessment, but for several years since Zuo Shanmei, no one has passed the assessment to become a new sect sword.
The four people who were assessed this time don't know if they were wiped out as in previous years, or if someone can pass the assessment and become a new generation of swords after Lin Yuxie Zuo Shanmei.
"Yan Hua and Xiao Jinpeng are both disciples of this sect, they know the roots, and the probability that the two of them will pass the assessment is not high. Lin Zhonghan analyzed: "Chen Zong comes from a small dynasty, in terms of origin and inheritance, he is not as good as Yan Hua and Xiao Jinpeng, but his combat power is still above the two, which shows that this son is indeed extraordinary, if he can become a disciple of this sect a few years earlier, accept better cultivation, and the possibility of passing the assessment will be greater. ”
"If any of these four people can pass the assessment, Long Changzhi will be more likely. Lin Zhonghan finally said.
Although Lin Zhonghan was not very willing to let a person who had a relationship with the royal family become a sword of the sect, on the whole, he did not violate the rules handed down from the Sword Sect, and furthermore, if Long Changzhi could pass the assessment, if he did not let the other party become a sword of the sect, he would not be reasonable, and it would not be a good thing to attract the intervention of the royal family.
As for the arrogant character, it's nothing, the world of geniuses, there are all kinds of personalities, nothing strange.
After all, the heart and the character are two different things.
Lin Zhonghan hopes that Yan Hua or Xiao Jinpeng can pass the assessment, in the final analysis, these two have been in the Zongheng Sword Sect for a long time.
The patriarch did not speak again, and the mountain wind was still there.
"From the middle of heaven...... Walk down to heaven...... Then the position is thick......" Long Changzhi used his own ability and the basic knowledge of the mechanism wall he mastered to deduce, and there were words in his mouth: "No, I made a mistake in deducing, start again." ”
What is the high position of heaven and the high position of heaven, Chen Zong doesn't understand, because he has not studied it, but he has his own way of deduction.
Everything in heaven and earth has a law contained in it, as long as you observe carefully and are keen enough, you can find out the law from it little by little, and then grasp it.
However, those who have rich experience and accumulate rich knowledge and are well-informed, the easier it is to deduce, because the laws of all things do not exist independently, but are interdependent, and they are inextricably linked with each other and can confirm each other.
Gradually, the pointer on the timer slowly turned, and it had already gone through most of the circle, and Chen Zong also found out the law of the mechanism wall, and continued to deduce.
Yan Hua and Xiao Jinpeng stared directly at the mechanism wall, and tried their best to use the basic knowledge of the mechanism wall they had learned to deduce, but they found that they were gradually deviating as if they had walked into a dead end.
Fortunately, they woke up in time, quickly got out of the state of drilling the horns, took a deep breath, adjusted a little, and deduced from the beginning.
There was a detour, and the re-deduction went a lot smoother.
In terms of the basic knowledge of the machine wall, neither Yan Hua nor Xiao Jinpeng can compare with Long Changzhi, it can be said that Long Changzhi has really mastered the basic knowledge of the machine wall, while Yan Hua and Xiao Jinpeng are just getting started, as for Chen Zong, he is a complete layman.
"Heavenly position...... This is it, break!" With a low shout, Long Changzhi's eyes were shining, and he stepped out in one step, and slapped a palm with his hand, and his strength was restrained on the palm, hitting a part of the machine wall.
There was a click, and in an instant, the operation of the entire wall stopped, and after a moment of silence, the sound of clicking continued, like fried beans, and the wall was separated for one person to pass through.
At the moment when Long Changzhi successfully cracked the wall, Chen Zong also deduced the operation law of it, and then found a way to crack it.
The sword was pointed out, and with the click, the wall stopped, followed by a dense click, and it was clearly seen that every component of the wall was moving, and the connection between them was broken, and a gap was separated from it that allowed one person to pass through.
Glancing at the timer on the left wall, there was less than half a circle left, and time was running out, so Chen Zong stepped forward and walked into the crack in the wall.
This is the first level of assessment, and forward, it is the second level of assessment.
As Long Changzhi and Chen Zong successively cracked the mechanism wall, Yan Hua and Xiao Jinpeng were still working hard.
Seeing that the hands on the timer were gradually about to finish a circle, Yan Hua and Xiao Jinpeng's eyes suddenly lit up, and they shot out in unison, and the clicking sound continued to sound, and the mechanism wall was successfully cracked.
The two of them swept the timer out of the corner of their eyes, and they were suddenly startled, almost, just a little bit of time they were about to time out, and overtime means elimination.
