Chapter 15 Assessment
After going back, Lin Yushi was puzzled, and during this time she had been thinking about why Ye Ye came back from the dead. But before she could figure this question out, the news of Ye Ye's awakening of the martial soul came over.
Lin Yushi had mixed feelings in her heart, and she could no longer hide the shock and confusion on her face. However, she still remembered her agreement with Ye Tian, as long as Ye Ye awakened the martial soul within three months, she would recommend Ye Ye to her master Li Wei to get started. So even if Lin Yushi was reluctant, in order to protect her reputation, she had to explain the reason to her master.
Two days later, when Lin Yushi's master, Elder Li Jing, applied to the Shenwu Palace, Ye Ye finally got a chance to participate in the assessment of the Shenwu Palace.
Since the assessment of the Shenwu Palace's wide recruitment of disciples is only held once every three years, and he is the only one who participates in the special assessment that Ye Ye has applied for, so when Ye Ye followed Lin Yushi to the assessment hall of the Shenwu Palace, there was only one examiner waiting for them under the central ring.
Lin Yushi didn't have a good impression of Ye Ye, so naturally he wouldn't really help him join the Shenwu Palace. Her master Li Wei also knew Lin Yushi's thoughts, so when she applied for the assessment for Ye Ye, she specially named an examiner who was known for his severity to preside over the assessment.
Lin Yushi had also heard rumors about this examiner, because he was extremely strict with new disciples and often discouraged the enthusiasm of new disciples, so they aptly called the tomb of newcomers in the Shenwu Palace. He is still like this to new disciples, and he is naturally even more merciful to Ye Ye, a new martial artist who is not even a disciple of the Divine Martial Palace.
There were also a few people who met him when they applied for a separate assessment, and the final result was that none of them successfully joined the Shenwu Temple through his assessment.
Even if he was also an elite disciple of the Divine Martial Palace, Lin Yushi knew that he was not that person's opponent. Therefore, Lin Yushi was extremely confident in him, and the pace of moving forward with Ye Ye couldn't help but be much brisker.
Ye Ye followed behind Lin Yushi, looking around the hall curiously, and the appearance of the hillbilly entering the city attracted Lin Yushi's disdain. Although Ye Ye has awakened his martial soul and become a martial artist, Lin Yushi is now a strong man at the peak of martial arts, and there is a huge gap in strength between him and when he first entered the martial arts, so he still doesn't really look at him as an equal.
When she took Ye Ye to the examiner and was about to introduce the two, she found that Ye Ye and the examiner were stunned at the same time, and there was surprise in their eyes.
"Ye Ye, why did you appear here? Could it be that you are the candidate who applied for this assessment?"
The disciple of the Shenwu Hall who presided over this assessment was none other than Hua Feng, who Ye Ye met in the Litian Mountain Range some time ago.
As a veteran elite disciple of the Shenwu Palace, Hua Feng was indeed very strict with other sects. Even Qin Ming, who was the son of the hall master of the Divine Martial Palace, would be reprimanded by him if he did something wrong, so it was understandable that Elder Li Wei would choose him to assess Ye Ye.
It's just that Lin Yushi and Li Wei never expected that Ye Ye and Hua Feng not only knew each other, but Ye Ye had also been kind to him, so this assessment not only could not prevent Ye Ye from getting started, but opened the door for him to be convenient.
"Could it be that Senior Brother Hua Feng is the examiner this time? What a coincidence, it seems that we are indeed destined!"
Ye Ye was also a little happy when he saw his acquaintance, so he directly threw Lin Yushi aside, and the two chatted happily.
"You guys, acquaintance?"
Lin Yushi, who was stunned by the scene in front of her, had not yet figured out the situation at this time, and pointed at Ye Ye and Hua Feng and asked stupidly.
"Hehe, let Senior Sister Lin Yushi smile! Ye Ye is indeed familiar with me, not only that, but he also saved me once!"
Hua Feng explained to Lin Yushi with a smile, but did not tell her the specific situation.
Because they had a conflict with Chen Tianfeng and others in the Litian Mountain Range before, in the end, all the disciples of the Jianguang Villa died under Ye Ye's calculations, and if this matter was exposed, it would be unfavorable to Ye Ye. Although even if he doesn't say it now, the truth can't be hidden for too long, but if he can buy Ye Ye more time, he can be fully prepared to deal with the troubles that may come.
"Senior Brother Hua Feng's words are serious, but it's just a gesture, it's not worth mentioning!"
Ye Ye was full of gratitude for Hua Feng's kindness, although he did not specifically describe what happened to that incident, but this remark was undoubtedly an admission that what Hua Feng said just now was correct.
Lin Yushi's face was ugly after hearing this, and she was almost dripping.
She didn't expect that her elaborate design would be self-defeating, if she just sent an ordinary Shenwu Hall disciple to assess Ye Ye, maybe there was a certain chance to prevent Ye Ye, who had just entered the martial arts, from passing, but now that the examiner had received Ye Ye's favor, Lin Yushi couldn't think of any reason for him to fail the assessment.
Just when she thought that Ye Ye would ask Hua Feng to release the water and let him easily pass the assessment and join the Shenwu Palace, Ye Ye's face suddenly turned grim, and he said solemnly to Hua Feng: "Senior Brother Hua Feng, although we know each other, I hope that in the next assessment, you will not show mercy to your subordinates, and do what you have to do, I, Ye Ye, have the confidence to pass the assessment with my own strength!"
His words were righteous and righteous, and his attitude was extremely correct, almost making Lin Yushi think that he had heard it wrong just now.
"Okay! I really didn't misunderstand you, so I said this to you, I, Hua Feng, recognized you as a friend, even if you failed the assessment!"
Hua Feng cast an appreciative look at Ye Ye and gave him a thumbs up, unconcealing his appreciation.
Ye Ye smiled freely, but he thought in his heart that he couldn't easily waste the favor that Hua Feng owed him. With his current strength, Ye Ye is fully sure that he will pass the assessment, and naturally he does not need Hua Feng to release water. Moreover, after previous contact, Ye Ye also figured out Hua Feng's character, so he said it in order to further his relationship with Hua Feng.
Judging from the results, Ye Ye's plan went very smoothly.
Glancing at the surprised and suspicious look on Lin Yushi's face next to him, Ye Ye sneered in his heart.
Since he learned that Lin Yushi deliberately killed himself and covered it up, he had given up the naïve thoughts he had about her before.
This woman is not only unkind, but also scheming, Ye Ye is already determined to kill her to avenge the former Ye Ye. However, before killing her, Ye Ye wanted to make her clearly feel the pain of being surpassed by the self she once looked down on, and living in doubts and worries all day long.
"Ye Ye, your courage is still worth encouraging. However, Senior Brother Hua Feng is an elite disciple of our Divine Martial Palace, and it is not easy to get his approval, so even if you can't pass, you don't have to blame yourself too much!"
Lin Yushi comforted Ye Ye on the surface, but in fact, she was also vaguely reminding Hua Feng not to release the water. Based on Lin Yushi's understanding of Hua Feng, as long as he didn't deliberately release water, Ye Ye, who had just awakened his martial soul and became a martial artist, would not be able to pass his assessment at all, so he gradually gained confidence in his heart.
"Don't worry, it's rare for your master to apply for the assessment for me, and I will definitely do my best to make sure that you will be surprised!"
Ye Ye smiled indifferently, took the initiative to walk to the ring in the center of the hall, and respectfully stretched out his hand to Hua Feng and signaled, "Senior Brother Hua Feng, please don't hesitate to teach!"
"Haha, Ye Ye, don't take it lightly! I didn't show the strength that a martial spirit should have because I was injured before, otherwise you probably wouldn't have a chance to show off. Although I won't go all out against you in this assessment, if your strength is average, it will still be difficult to pass my assessment. ”
As one of the only few martial spirit realm disciples in the Divine Martial Palace, Hua Feng's strength is naturally beyond doubt. But he is more famous for being strict with himself and others, which is also the main reason why Master Lin Yu asked him to assess Ye Ye.
However, Ye Ye did not have the slightest fear after listening to his words, and when Hua Feng also came to the ring, he said loudly and confidently and confidently directly: "No matter what problems Senior Brother Hua Feng has, I am confident that I will pass your assessment today, so please let Senior Brother come over!"
"Okay, then you're welcome. When the next assessment begins, we attack each other. As long as you can hold on to ten breaths in the ring, I'll count you as a pass! If you're ready, you can do it now!"
Hua Feng glanced at Ye Ye, and a look of surprise flashed on his face. However, he didn't think about it, but announced the rules of this assessment to Ye Ye. After finishing speaking, he beckoned to Ye Ye, signaling that he could start attacking.
Ye Ye didn't talk nonsense, and rushed directly to Hua Feng quickly, aiming a punch at his chest, trying to take the lead in this encounter.
"Good time!"
Hua Feng smiled lightly and used half of his strength to volley Ye Ye's fist.
He thought that Ye Ye would not be able to dodge this counterattack, and would be beaten back again and again by his own fists. However, Ye Ye was not as simple as a new martial artist at all, he suddenly changed his move after getting close to Hua Feng, and immediately grabbed Hua Feng's arm and picked him up and tried to throw him down.
"The strength is good, it seems that I underestimated you!"
Hua Feng showed surprise again, but his reaction was not comparable to that of ordinary Shenwu Hall disciples, and when Ye Ye picked him up, Hua Feng had already continued to pull the force and flew towards Ye Ye, and punched down on his face.
Because Ye Ye's martial soul has metamorphosed, and he has cultivated the exercises that fit the martial soul, his realm is extremely solid. Even if it is not as good as the masters at the peak of martial arts, it is far better than those who are new to martial arts. Hua Feng suppressed half of his strength to fight against him, although he was still stronger than Ye Ye, but the gap was not so great, which gave Ye Ye room to play.
When Hua Feng flew towards him, Ye Ye decisively raised his leg and kicked upward.
Bang!
Hua Feng immediately gave up attacking Ye Ye's front door and confronted Ye Ye's fierce kick with his elbow. I only heard a muffled sound coming from between the two, smoke and dust flew in the ring, and the air wave spread to the audience, which made Lin Yushi stunned.
"How is it possible? Didn't he just awaken the martial spirit? Why is the realm so stable?"
Lin Yushi was puzzled, and Ye Ye's figure became even more mysterious in her eyes.
