Chapter 47: The Mountain Gate Examination
CHAPTER XLVII
Chongyun Peak, located in the North Mountain Gate.
In terms of height, Chongyun Peak is among the outer gates, and the mountain height ranking is at least outside the top ten. But its status is extremely transcendent, because this peak belongs to the Inner Gate Cloud Hall and is directly under the jurisdiction of the sect master.
Whether it is the mountain gate examination for new disciples, or the entrance assessment for outer disciples to enter the inner gate, or the elite conference for elite disciples, all kinds of large and small competitions of Yunxiao Sect are presided over by Chongyun Peak.
Therefore, Chongyun Feng controls the stay, stay and promotion of the disciples in the sect, and it is impossible to think that the status is not transcendent.
On this day, the mountain gate will try. Nearly 10,000 new disciples from the eastern, western, southern, and northern four major mountain gates of the outer gate gathered at the foot of Chongyun Peak Mountain.
The assessment mechanism of each mountain gate exam is different, and it will not be announced until before the start of the exam, so no one can carry out targeted practice.
Ah Sheng looked around, most of the people around him were in groups of three or five, or seven or eight people, and even a dozen or dozens of people gathered together.
"Those people should all be new disciples from the same mountain. The people of our Broken Yao Peak are really a little too lonely. Ah Sheng was very helpless, he had been in the Yunxiao Sect for a year, but except for those senior brothers and sisters in Broken Yao Peak, he hardly knew anyone from the Outer Peak.
Of course, except for the Hongsheng of Wanhe Peak in Dongshanmen, that is Ah Sheng's enemy, and he will not forget it when he turns into ashes.
"I hope that the content of the test will not be the kind of people who are easy to do-" Ah Sheng prayed silently in his heart.
However, things are often so wonderful, and they are really afraid of something.
A loud voice came from inside Chongyun Peak, telling the content of this mountain gate test.
As soon as he heard this, Ah Sheng's face turned green.
The venue of this competition is centered on Chongyun Peak and extends to a radius of 100 miles. The range is so wide that even some of the peaks, including the inner gate, are included.
In this area, there are nearly 100,000 fierce birds and beasts of all kinds. On the body of each fierce bird and beast, there is a spirit rune hanging on it, with different colors, respectively, there are seven kinds of spirit runes: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple.
These fierce birds and beasts of prey can only be defeated, not killed. Each time you defeat one, you will receive a rune of the corresponding color.
The red runes are the most, with tens of thousands. The further you go, the fewer types of spirit runes, the stronger the beasts you have to face, and the more difficult it is to obtain.
Purple runes, there are less than 8,000.
And in order to pass the mountain gate test, you must collect all seven spirit runes in one day. In other words, of the nearly 10,000 new disciples, less than 8,000 of them were able to pass the mountain gate test in the end. In extreme cases, it may even be less, after all, time is limited.
In addition to that, there is a limitation. That is, in the process of the examination, it is not possible to use any external force that can boost combat effectiveness, such as high-grade magic weapons, martial arts, beasts, etc. All battles must rely on their own strength.
This kind of competition is not only the strength of the individual, but also the combat effectiveness of the team.
But in this way, the more the mountain with fewer new disciples, the more it suffers, especially the lone seedling like Ah Sheng.
The only thing that makes Ah Sheng feel better is that when he enters the range of the game, everyone is randomly scattered. In this way, whether you want to gather with people from your own mountain, or team up with other people you know, you need to find people by yourself.
After the announcement of the rules of the examination, the countdown began. The surrounding groups of people were chatting quickly, and Ah Sheng also shook his head, looking helpless.
When the countdown ended, the scene in front of them changed suddenly, and everyone had been randomly dispersed from the foot of Chongyun Peak to somewhere in the competition venue.
Ah Sheng is not flustered, now that he is empty-handed, he doesn't have a single spirit rune, and no one will target him.
However, in the later stage of the examination, in order to compete for the limited number of purple spirit runes, there will inevitably be fights between new disciples.
Ah Sheng walked slowly, and he saw a pig, which was lying under a big tree and sleeping. And on its back, there hangs a red spirit rune.
The Pig is one of the most common beasts in the countless mountains of the Cloud Sect, with a fierce and reckless temperament, and has no fear of people.
Ah Sheng leaned over cautiously, jumped when he was near, gently swept over the top of the pig, stretched out his hand, and easily took off the red spirit talisman on the pig's back. Then the second one took advantage of the strength and jumped into the tree.
The pig turned over suddenly, looked around cautiously, found nothing, rubbed against the tree, and went back to sleep.
"The first rune. β
Ah Sheng put the spirit talisman away and continued to search. Along the way, the most he saw was the red spirit rune. There are also a lot of orange and yellow runes, and the difficulty of obtaining them has not increased much.
Starting with the green spirit rune, Ah Sheng saw less and less, and finally ran into it once, but was preempted by a team of five people.
Ah Sheng was so frightened that he hurriedly ran, for fear that they would also take him as a prey and rob him of a few spirit runes.
With this fright, Ah Sheng thought of a way, he wanted to make a few more of each spirit rune on his body, so that even if he was robbed by others, he would not be hollowed out.
"Five red ones, two orange ones, and two yellow onesβ" Looking at his spirit rune, Ah Sheng was faintly panicked, and said secretly: "You can't blindly hide anymore, there are people everywhere, and I can't grab the spirit rune when I hide alone." Gotta find someone to team upβ"
Ah Sheng set his sights on those teams with small numbers. That kind of team is not going to be much better than it is facing itself.
No, there is a team of three, and an instantaneous mink is consumed.
On the back of the sable's neck, there was a cyan spirit rune, which was the highest level spirit rune that Ah Sheng had seen so far.
At this moment, the mink was injured in the hind limbs, and it should have been hit by those three people, and the trap should have been laid in advance. But even so, the three of them still had some difficulty working together to deal with this instantaneous mink.
However, if it continues to be consumed, sooner or later, the instantaneous mink will be overwhelmed.
Ah Sheng hid in the distance, watching the battle on this side, he quietly pulled out the soft sword from his waist.
This soft sword, Ah Sheng used in the battle of the ring match. It was Senior Brother Changlin who spent ten three-mangyuan stones in exchange.
Ah Sheng held the soft sword in his hand and shook it violently, and in the sky, a dark cloud quietly gathered.
Ah Sheng saw the opportunity and rushed out, stabbing forward with the soft sword in his hand.
A sword shot out, striking the Instantaneous Mink foreleg impartially.
"Chirp-" The marten screamed and fell to the ground.
"Who!" the trio roared in unison.
Ah Sheng walked over slowly, he had put away his soft sword, his body exuded a strong vitality, and he stared at the three people opposite.
The vitality on the three of them did not mean to be put away at all, they not only looked at Ah Sheng cautiously, but also looked behind Ah Sheng and around him.
Ah Sheng took the lead in putting away his vitality, and said lightly: "This cyan spirit rune, give it to you." β
