Chapter 636: One Less
Looking at the top of the mountain from the foot of the mountain, a huge stockade looms in the middle of the mountainside, in front of the gate of the cottage, a big flag tens of meters high flutters in the wind, on the black flag, a red "Hong" character flutters in the wind.
From the foot of the mountain, a winding path leads straight to the shining cottage, Song Jian was about to go down the path, from the woods on both sides, suddenly jumped out of a middle-aged man with a crooked mouth and slanted face, holding a dog-headed knife in his hand, pointing at Song Jian with the tip of the knife, and shouting with disdain: "Hey, that kid, what are you doing here alone?" Any idea what this place is? ”
"Is the Black Wind Village on it?" Song Jian looked at the third-level "Black Wind Village Bandit" in front of him and asked with a smile.
"Yo, is there another one coming to us?" The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, he looked Song Jian up and down, and after a while, his face suddenly stiffened, and he said to Song Jian: "Where do I ......seem to have seen you in this dress?"
Song Jian didn't say a word, his right leg slammed into the ground, and a fang-shaped air mass let out a sharp roar, flying towards this Black Wind Village thief who was only a third-level bandit;
With a "bang", the bandit didn't even react, and was directly hit by the ground fangs and flew backwards, and a crit damage of more than 100 points floated up from the top of the bandit's head, killing him directly!
System: You killed a Level 3 "Black Wind Village Bandit" and gained 36 experience points;
"Sure enough, I can still gain combat experience by killing, it's easy to do with this, at least I can quickly raise my level, as long as I can reach level 30, at least I can unlock most of my strength, now I am too weak......" Song Jian shook his head, didn't look at the corpse of the bandit lying on the ground, and slowly walked along the path towards the Black Wind Village;
……
Three days later, the assessment of the miscellaneous disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect arrived as scheduled, and in the square at the foot of the mountain, hundreds of disciples wearing gray robes stood in a line.
Everyone stood straight, not daring to say a word, and hundreds of people were like statues, motionless.
In the stands in front of the square, several middle-aged men in cyan robes, looking lazy, laughing with each other, were very out of tune with the solemn atmosphere of the entire square;
"Master Wang, I didn't expect you to be sent down to assess these miscellaneous disciples this year, have you been short of people in the Sword Casting Hall recently?" A middle-aged man with three long beards asked with a smile.
A burly man next to him laughed and said, "I just forged a blue quality long sword two days ago, and I just took a break these two days!" ”
"Blue quality?" The middle-aged man with a long beard who looked like a scholar next to him showed a look of surprise on his face, and complimented him again and again: "Master Wang's forging skills are becoming more and more proficient, I'm afraid it won't be long before he can be promoted to a forging master." ”
"Hey, it's too early to say that the master is now, I don't want Qin Hua, at a young age, she is already a pharmaceutical master, and the Qibao Pill she refines, but even the head is full of praise!"
A young woman next to her showed a smug look on her face, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, she turned her head to look at Wang Shi, and nodded slightly.
"Master Wang, Qin Hua, it's not too early now, why don't you start assessing these disciples?" Li Guiqing touched the three strands of his long beard and said with a smile.
Among the three people, his strength is the strongest, he is a thirty-level swordsman with first-order combat power, and although the strength of the other two is slightly inferior, the one who has always been respectfully called "Wang Shi" by him is a forging craftsman named Wang Hai, although his strength is average, he is indeed a senior swordsmith in the Qingyun Sword Gate Sword Casting Hall, and he already has an expert-level level, and he may break through to the master level at any time;
And the other person is even more incredible, it is the new Dan Master of the Qingyun Sword Gate Alchemy Hall, although it is a woman, but it cannot be underestimated, the Qibao Pill she refined, not only can treat internal injuries, but also can assist in cultivation, even the head of the Qingyun Sword Gate is full of praise for the Qibao Dan, and it is a smash hit celebrity in the Qingyun Sword Gate;
Li Guiqing naturally didn't dare to offend these two people, and his attitude has always been very modest;
"Haha, we don't really understand these assessments, Brother Li made it up, and Qinhua and I are here to join in the fun." Wang Hai laughed and laughed;
Qin Hua frowned slightly, and glanced at Wang Hai lightly, but did not object to his words;
"Okay, let's get started!" Li Guiqing stood up and shouted loudly: "The triennial assessment competition for the miscellaneous disciples of the outer gate starts now!" ”
Li Guiqing looked at the black and oppressive figures in the square, and his brows suddenly wrinkled, the usual inner door competition is every two people in the ring, if you follow the competition method of the inner door, the hundreds of people in front of you, I am afraid that the assessment will not be completed in three days and three nights.
These miscellaneous disciples of the outer sect, Qingyun Sword Sect actually didn't pay much attention to it, it was just a big wave of sand, if you can select some talents to be the best, if you can't choose them, it will have no impact on the sect.
Li Guiqing looked at the list and found that the number of outer disciples assessed this year was exactly three hundred, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and a method appeared in his mind.
"There are a total of 300 outer disciples participating in the assessment this year, so that every 100 of you are divided into a ring and fight separately, and the last person standing on the stage is the winner and can enter the inner gate!"
When all the miscellaneous disciples heard this, they were stunned, such an assessment method had never been encountered;
But since the examiner said it, it was only possible to do this, and soon, the team of three hundred people was divided into three pieces, and almost the entire square was full.
"Brother Li's method is good, it doesn't take much trouble, and it can select real talents for the sect!" Wang Hai nodded with a smile on his face, looking very appreciative.
"Hehe, the two of you have precious time, how can you waste it on these outer disciples? Being able to stand out from a hundred people, choose one out of a hundred, and select three disciples can be regarded as an explanation for the sect! Li Guiqing was proud, touched the three wisps of long beard and said.
"Hey, there is a team that seems to be only ninety-nine people, less than a hundred...... Qin Hua next to him suddenly said;
"Ninety-nine?" Li Guiqing's brows furrowed, and he took out the roster and looked at it carefully;
"No, on the roster, it's obviously three hundred, how can there be one less?" Li Guiqing turned around and called a disciple behind him, handed him the roster, and told him to check what was going on;
It didn't take long for the disciple to come back and whisper a few words in Li Guiqing's ear;
"I see!" Li Guiqing nodded slightly;
"Why, could it be that someone escaped without permission?" Qin Hua chuckled;
"There is a person who has received the task of exterminating Black Wind Mountain and killing the big leader of Black Wind Cottage, and it has been three days, and he has not returned!" Li Guiqing explained;
When Wang Hai and Qinhua heard this, their faces suddenly showed a look of surprise, and they looked incredulous.
