Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamations all around, and even many old apprentices of two or three years were surprised. After all, if you have a fourth-level level in your first year of apprenticeship, then it is really a great achievement, and you can almost certainly become a one-star cultivator at the age of sixteen or even fourteen or fifteen.

At this time, Zhu Rong nodded with satisfaction, and the dozens of sect masters and elders above all showed smiling expressions. Zhu Rong said: "Lan Rou, a fourth-level apprentice of the Yang Huo Department of Xiuzhen, has excellent grades. Next 616161616161"

The speed of the assessment test is very fast, after all, hundreds of apprentices before the age of sixteen of the whole sect have to complete the assessment within one day, and each student only needs to go on stage to release his cultivation spiritual power to complete the assessment, and one by one they go up and down the stage like a marquee.

More than a dozen of the new first-year apprentices are second-level apprentices, with the occasional third-level apprentice appearing, and most of the rest are first- or zero-level apprentices who will be expelled from the division.

The penultimate one on the stage was Zhao Yang, after Zhao Yang came to power, the blue flames rose from Zhao Yang's head a little strangely, and four blue grade light beads appeared above Zhao Yang's forehead, like Lan Rou, he also reached the strength of the fourth-level apprentice of Xiuzhen, and the first position of the new apprentice of the Yin Fire Department was undoubtedly his.

The assessment of the first year of apprenticeship of the Chu faction was about to end, and when Zhu Rong called out Zhang Yuan's name, he also closed the roster in his hand. Zhang Yuan sighed secretly in his heart, what should come is always coming, he used to be a generation of strongmen, a generation of masters who once crisscrossed several trial ground worlds, but there was such a shameful day. Although he has gradually accepted his mortal identity in this world when he has become a mortal in this world, he still can't forget the various things of the Shushan Swordsman Proving Ground World and the generation of strongmen in the last few trial ground worlds, especially his pride as a generation of supreme masters.

When Zhang Yuan came to the test bench, the first thing he greeted was Zhengyang Zhenren who smiled bitterly at him, and the bitter smile and slightly reassuring eyes made Zhang Yuan less embarrassed. Early in the morning, Zhang Yuan told Zhengyang Zhenren about his first-level level, and said that he would continue to stay in the sect to cultivate the truth. Zhengyang Zhenren is actually inseparable from him, Zhengyang Zhenren's age is not young, his cultivation ability has reached a bottleneck, and it has not grown for a long time, but with Zhang Yuan's Juling Pill for a long time, he has also made new progress in this year. Therefore, for his own sake, he will also meet Zhang Yuan's request.

After all, Zhang Yuan was a person who had seen a big scene, he stabilized his mind, and stood there expressionlessly, a spiritual power bead had already appeared above his forehead, and it was a red and blue light bead that represented a first-level cultivation apprentice, exactly the same as when he first used the spiritual power jade.

"Zhang Yuan, a first-level cultivator of the Yin and Yang Twin Fire Department, failed the assessment." Zhu Rong frowned and announced Zhang Yuan's results, although he secretly helped Zhang Yuan a lot, but after seeing this result, the disappointment in his eyes was still obvious.

Zhu Rong said in a deep voice: "Okay, the new apprentices have completed the year-end assessment, and those who have passed the grades will be lined up in a row, and they will be withdrawn in order. As for Zhang Yuan, you can stay for a while. ”

All apprentices who are unable to reach the second level of cultivation and the first year of cultivation will be expelled from the sect according to the rules of the Chu sect. Apprentices in each school year will be assessed according to their age, and those who fail to pass the assessment will be expelled from the division. Because, if you fail the assessment, it means that you don't have the opportunity to become a cultivator, and it is a waste of time to continue studying. At the same time, it is also beneficial for the apprentice to retire in time, after all, those who cannot become cultivators can also take advantage of their young age to learn something else.

All the first-year apprentices who passed the test walked out one after another, and most of the apprentices who did not pass the test went back to pack their things and go home under the leadership of a few senior disciples. Although some of the apprentices who did not pass the test tried to intercede and stay, they were still refused. Of course, there are exceptions to things, some families have money, send more money, and the sect will treat it specially, at this time Zhang Yuan is a member of the special treatment, although he has no money.

Zhengyang Zhenren walked over and said to Zhang Yuan: "Zhang Yuan, your grades are not qualified, but after all, your alchemy also has a certain amount of merit for the sect, but the merit can't let you practice with other qualified apprentices." Now you have two options, one is to leave the sect. The other is that if you wish, you can participate in the next year's practice and study as a supernumerary preparatory apprentice with other supernumerary preparatory apprentices and other supernumerary preparatory apprentices. You don't need to go through any assessment until you graduate at the age of sixteen, but you are not a true apprentice of my Chu faction. Of course, if you change your mind, you can leave the sect at any time. If you pass the assessment of the condensation totem at the age of sixteen and become a real one-star cultivator, you can be regarded as a member of my Chu faction. ”

"I'm willing to stay and be a preparatory apprentice." At that moment, Zhang Yuan hurriedly answered. He will begin a practice that does not require testing, just like the group of preparatory apprentices who do not have good grades, but have money in their families, and who spend a lot of money to continue studying with regular apprentices.

Zhang Yuan was temporarily left behind by the sect, and when he went down the hill to the square, Lan Rou and Zhao Yang, who came over, cheered at the same time, and said to Zhang Yuan: "Zhang Yuan, you don't have to be expelled from the sect, we can now cultivate together to become true cultivators." That's great. ”

"It's not necessarily a good thing for him." At this time, Zhu Rong's loud voice sounded, and Lan Rou and Zhao Yang both looked at Master Zhu Rong in amazement. Zhu Rong looked at Zhang Yuan and said, "To be honest, you have really worked hard in the past year, and I have seen it too." But it didn't work, I have never heard of people with a yin and yang balance physique who can cultivate and succeed, Zhang Yuan, if you want to make achievements, you really have to work harder. ”

Zhang Yuan said sincerely: "Master Zhurong, thank you very much. Zhu Rong waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me, if you want to thank you, thank the master." I didn't know that an alchemist could be so highly evaluated by the head of the family. Of course, I know that your alchemy skills are indeed very powerful, in fact, I think it is much better for you to go to the Alchemist Alliance to develop than to cultivate the truth. Okay, I won't talk much more, the second year of apprenticeship has to be tested, I'm going to get busy, you can do it yourself. As he spoke, he turned around and went up the test hill.

Zhao Yang said with some concern: "Zhang Yuan, Master Zhurong said just now that leaving you in the sect to continue practicing may delay you. You ......" he said, he couldn't say any more, and even Lan Rou looked at Zhang Yuan with a worried look. Zhang Yuan laughed and said, "What? Don't you have faith in me? Since I choose to stay, I will definitely not give up, and at the same time, I have a certain degree of certainty. However, you also have to work hard, so let's do it together. "The three hands were stacked on top of each other, and they all saw each other's encouragement and confidence.

Time flies, time flies. Two years later, in the evening of this day, Zhang Yuan sat quietly cross-legged on the bed at this time, and Zhang Yuan looked much more mature at this time. Now he has grown to nearly 1.8 meters tall, which is about the same height as himself.
