Chapter 169: The Talent of Terror
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any questions? If not, I will announce that the examination has officially begun. ”
"Wait a minute, Elder Zhou, I think you should tell us how many people will be selected in this Tianzong election, so that everyone can have a bottom in their hearts. ”
"Two hundred, there will be no more, and there will be no less. ”
"That...... Old Zhou, can a female martial artist like me lower the assessment standards a little?"
The person who asked this question was a woman with a relatively outstanding appearance, and she felt that with her appearance, she should be given some privileges, right?
Hearing this, Zhou Lao sneered: "Do you think the opponent will show mercy to you because you are a woman? Maybe even if it will, it won't be your turn!"
The meaning of this is already obvious, you are pretty, but you are not beautiful enough to be obsessed. So let's show our strength to prove everything, otherwise if you want to rely on some crooked ways to pass the assessment, let's die as soon as possible.
The woman was buried by Zhou Lao with a gun and a stick, her face was ugly, if it weren't for her lack of strength, she would have been sprinkled on the spot.
"Elder Zhou, I heard that Ling Tianzong has a total of six courtyards, if I want to go to the one I like, what should I do?"
Zhou Lao replied: "It's very simple, it is to show your strength and let the sect see the potential in you, only in this way can you have the capital to choose the martial academy you like." ”
Potential!
Strength!
This is the case in the martial arts world, as long as you have enough strength, or show enough potential, you will naturally have the right to speak. Others may look at you and even give you privileges.
With the passage of time, the atmosphere at the scene became more and more hot, and various problems emerged one after another, involving a wide range of aspects. Basically, all possible questions, or unclear places, Zhou Lao tried his best to give satisfactory answers. This kind of practice made everyone's favor towards Ling Tianzong increase a lot.
"Okay, that's the end of the questions, now I invite all the contestants to enter the assessment area, the first level is the talent test, I hope you are ready. ”
As soon as Zhou Lao's words fell, those teenagers who had been waiting impatiently for a long time couldn't wait to rush into the assessment area of the first level, as if the earlier they came, the more likely they were to pass the assessment.
However, due to the continuous surge in the number of assessment people in the later stage, Ling Tianzong had to temporarily add five assessment points. In this way, the speed of screening is much faster.
The talent assessment in the first level is not complicated or difficult. But this level will eliminate more than 50% of the contestants.
Ling Tianzong's entry assessment was so harsh that there was no room for negotiation.
Maybe these eliminated people were geniuses in their place, but in Ling Tianzong, these so-called geniuses were nothing. In Ling Tianzong, everyone is a rare genius, and the most important thing here is genius.
Luo Chengcheng has always been very low-key, she doesn't like to compete for fame and fortune. For her, as long as she could join Ling Tianzong and come into contact with Liufeiyun, everything else was insignificant.
But as Zhou Lao said, if you want to do whatever you want in the sect, or even have privileges, you must show the corresponding potential, otherwise why should the sect give you the green light.
Ever since Luo Qingcheng learned that the person he was looking for was actually one of the deans of the Six Academies, and he was the chief examiner in charge of the Tianzong election, his status in Ling Tianzong was self-evident.
She wants to worship under the Liufei Cloud Gate, but people may not want her. And there is only one solution to this problem, and that is to show strong potential, so strong that he can't refuse.
Thinking of this, Luo Chengcheng's mentality has changed!
Originally, she just wanted to join Ling Tianzong and have the opportunity to contact Liu Feiyun. But now it seems that she is thinking things too simply.
"In that case, let's give them a little shock. The corners of Luo Qingcheng's mouth hooked a charming arc, and this charming posture made some people standing next to her lose their minds directly.
Soon, it was Luo Chengcheng's turn to test his talent. She didn't have any pressure at this level, because she couldn't be more aware of her talent. It's not like it's ancient or modern, but it's pretty much the same.
Sure enough, the moment Luo Qingcheng put his hand on the stone tablet of testing talent, the time was full of light. The dazzling colorful glow reflects each other in the air, such as fairies scattering flowers, sprinkled with oceans, colorful and shocking.
At the same time, the stone tablet scale, which represented the strength of talent, soared wildly to eight, almost the top nine.
The vision here obviously alarmed everyone, including Wang Yunming, who was hiding in the shadows and secretly observing this assessment, as well as many Supreme Elders.
To be honest, when Wang Yunming saw that the talent stele almost exploded, he was directly shocked and speechless. At the same time, a voice in his heart kept telling him that he must leave this girl in Ling Tianzong at all costs.
A talent close to the ninth layer, such a top genius, let alone in Ling Tianzong, has never appeared even in the thousands of years of history of the Flowing Cloud Country.
Back then, he was called a peerless demon before he could rush to the sixth floor.
Thinking of this, Wang Yunming was a little embarrassed. Anyway, compared to this girl, is he still a genius? I'm afraid it's no different from those ordinary people.
Of course, depressed to depressed, the joy in Wang Yunming's heart can no longer be suppressed. He couldn't wait to rush over and ask the girl if she would like to be his teacher.
But reason told him not to be impulsive, otherwise he would let others see the joke.
Now is Ling Tianzong's five-year Heavenly Sect election, all eyes are on it, this kind of serious time, you can't announce the suspension just because of the appearance of a genius.
Besides, talent does not represent a person's potential, it can only be said that she has a higher starting line than the average person, nothing more.
Wang Yunming endured the excitement in his heart, he looked forward to Luo Chengcheng's performance in the second level, would it be as good as the first level?
In the face of all kinds of complicated eyes cast by everyone, there are envy, jealousy, and fiery, and Luo Chengcheng is familiar with it. She only cares about Liufeiyun's opinion now, and that's what matters most.
"If he saw this, he would be a little interested, right?"
Luo Chengcheng thought to himself, and then slowly left the test bench under the gaze of everyone.
From beginning to end, there was no joy or sadness on Luo Qingcheng's face, making it impossible to see what she was thinking in her heart. Many people are also thinking, how can this girl's heart be so high, has it reached the point of being pampered and not shocked?
But she looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old!
It wasn't until Luo Chengcheng walked away that the deacon elder who was in charge of the talent assessment came to his senses and hurriedly shouted: "Luo Qingcheng, the talent is rare, the first level assessment has passed!"
Perhaps it was the knock-on effect brought about by Luo Chengcheng's passing of the assessment, and in the next test, there were actually several people's talents that were assessed as rare.
This made Wang Yunming so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, thinking to himself, could it really be Ling Tianzong's luck? Otherwise, there was no way to explain why so many talented geniuses appeared all at once.
You must know that talents that can reach the rare level are once in a century, and this kind of genius is not a cabbage, grab a handful. Ling Tianzong had been established for hundreds of years, and at most it had only accepted two rare level genius disciples.
Now, including Luo Chengcheng, there are as many as six, which is incredible and unbelievable.
Wang Yunming seemed to see the momentum of Ling Tianzong's rise, as long as these six people did not die or fall halfway, with their potential, the sect would inevitably have six more grandmaster-level powerhouses, and even the king might not be able to say.
Soon, the talent assessment of the first level was completed, and sixty percent of the contestants were eliminated in this level alone, and the competition was not cruel. But this is the case in the martial arts world, most people are destined to be foils, and only a few people can stand at the top and be proud of the world.
"Old Zhou, give me another chance, I am not talented but I have strong perseverance, please. ”
"No, I'm not reconciled, what if I don't have talent, I can still cultivate. I will prove you all wrong, all wrong!"
"This is unfair, unfair, talent doesn't mean everything, Ling Tianzong is really a deceitful and famous. We waited thousands of miles to come here, and you sent us away like this. ”
Those young people who were announced to be eliminated couldn't suppress their grief and anger for a while, and completely exploded. However, although some people were unwilling, they could still restrain themselves, while others were completely carried away by their emotions and made a lot of nonsense to slander Ling Tianzong.
"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me. I know that you are unwilling to admit that you have worked hard for so many years to no avail. But the reality is always so cruel, and without great talent in the martial arts world, your achievements are destined to be limited. ”
"But I don't want anyone to give up and slump. If you want others to impress you, you have to put in the effort, and if you want a miracle to happen, you have to have the belief that you will be broken. ”
"Believe that anything is possible!"
Old Zhou said angrily: "But some people want to use this to slander me Ling Tianzong, which the old man can't bear, so they have to pay the price for their actions." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhou Lao's withered hands waved slightly, and he saw countless fiery red points of light suddenly shoot out from his palms, respectively pounced on those guys who were messing with right and wrong.
In the next second, those guys who spoke wildly were thrown out of Ling Tianzong's Outer Gate Mountain Range one after another, and everyone was more or less punished.
Because it was the first time, Zhou Lao didn't want to make a big fuss, so he only punished him slightly, if someone deliberately made trouble next, then don't blame him for not knowing the severity.
Being able to sit in the position of the chief deacon of the outer gate of Ling Tianzong, Zhou Lao is not a good man and a woman, and he wants to be ruthless, which also makes people shudder.
But at this moment, Zhou Lao suddenly noticed that someone was secretly transmitting the sound to him, and when he listened to the content of the transmission, his face immediately became strange.
Immediately, Zhou Lao set his sights on an inconspicuous corner.
It was a ragged teenager with bright eyes full of bitterness and unwillingness.
He held his head in pain, unable to accept the reality of his elimination. After all his efforts, it was all for naught, and he almost went crazy.
"Why? Why? Can I really only be an ordinary person? But I'm not reconciled, I don't accept it, I don't accept it!"
Ji Pingfan roared in his heart, his hand clenched into a fist, his nails dug deep into the flesh, and the blood flowed a little bit down his fingers, but he didn't realize it. Compared to the pain in my heart, this injury is nothing.
"What's your name, little one?"
"Huh?"
Ji Pingfan felt as if someone was talking to him, and he subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice came from, just in time to meet the gaze of the elder Zhou.
"Zhou ...... Old Zhou, are you talking to me?"
"Naturally!" Zhou Lao nodded.
Ji Pingfan was stunned, not knowing what to say next. He never dreamed that the high-ranking Ling Tianzong Elder would take the initiative to talk to a beggar like himself.
"Little guy, don't you tell me what your name is?" asked Zhou Lao again.
Ji Pingfan suddenly came back to his senses: "Old Zhou, my name is Ji Pingfan, you can call me ordinary." ”
Old Zhou nodded with satisfaction: "Ji Pingfan, you will follow them for the second level of assessment later." ”
As he spoke, Zhou Lao pointed to the group of people standing in front of him, who were the geniuses who had just passed the first level assessment.
Ji Pingfan was stunned for a moment, what did Zhou Lao say just now? Let me go with them to participate in the assessment of the second level? It means that I passed the first level? Can I not be eliminated?
Ji Pingfan, who reacted, almost jumped up with excitement, and his ecstatic look was overflowing. He was almost crying, and he was crying with joy.
"Thank you Old Zhou!" Ji Pingfan's tone was full of gratitude.
"You don't have to thank me, work hard, I believe your future is bright. Old Zhou glanced at Ji Pingfan meaningfully.
"It's not fair, why can he advance to the second level, we can only be eliminated. ”
"Yes, why, a good-for-nothing beggar is better than us. ”
"That is, a beggar, he can be promoted, why can't we?"
"Hehe, is this what Ling Tianzong said will not favor anyone? Is this the fairness and justice you advertise?
At this moment, everyone finally found an outlet to vent, and all kinds of doubts came one after another.
"Elder Zhou, what's the matter with you, why did a waste make him advance to the second level?"
Not to mention the large number of young people, even the five elder deans who were in charge of supervising the assessment couldn't help but ask.
Old Zhou's face did not change, and said slowly: "I don't know about this matter, just now Elder Liu passed the message to me, let me arrange for him to advance to the second level, if you have any questions, you can ask Elder Liu, I am just acting on orders." ”
Zhou Lao is really a cunning old fox, and he pushed all the problems to Liu Feiyun with one mouth, and he completely wiped it out.
"Elder Liu, Liu Feiyun, are you sure it's him?"
"It's true!"
As soon as these words came out, Elder Sun, the dean of the Heavenly Fire Academy, couldn't sit still, this was an excellent opportunity to suppress Liufeiyun, how could he let it go.
I saw him stand up and say righteously: "Nonsense, this Liu Feiyun, as the chief examiner, is blatantly favoritism, and he simply doesn't take all of us seriously." ”
