Time is like water, always passing inadvertently.

March is just around the corner of the day.

On the second floor of the Soul Pagoda, a figure sat cross-legged.

Above his body, a majestic soul power, along with the owner of this figure, poured into his soul source with even breath.

"Hey... Three months seems to be coming up... But I still can't step into the level of a third-level soul master!" Duan Chen sighed, his mind extremely complicated.

During these three months, even if he focused all his energy on cultivation, he still couldn't cross to the level of a third-level soul master.

During this period, he often came here to cultivate his soul power, and in addition, he successfully stepped into the level of a first-grade Dan master, so that he had the qualifications to use the Nine Cherry Soul Bone Flower, but these days, even if he had both, his soul power cultivation could not reach the peak of the middle stage of the second-level soul master, although it was only half a step away from the late stage of the second-level soul master, he could never break this bottleneck.

"Walk the people, let it be the fate of heaven... It's really not good, if you force your way through the third layer, you have to rescue that senior!" Standing up, on Duan Chen's cheeks, a touch of helplessness appeared on it, and now, he can only do this.

After that, Duan Chen walked out of the Soul Pagoda, because, after a day of assessment at the inner gate, he finally came as scheduled.

For this opportunity, Duan Chen couldn't bear to throw it aside, because, anyone who could squeeze into the top ten above the inner gate assessment could get a chance to enter the blood essence pool and cultivate.

After all, this kind of cultivation treasure land, even those inner disciples, as well as the core disciples, are extremely coveted, not to mention Duan Chen, an outer disciple.

As for the assessment, Duan Chen still has great confidence, because he had asked Nie Qingqing to learn about this matter.

If you want to be promoted from an outer disciple to an inner disciple, you must stand out from the countless outer disciples, and you must squeeze into the top 30 before you can have the opportunity to participate in the second level of assessment.

Although the cultivation of the disciples of the outer sects is not bad, during Duan Chen's penance cultivation days, Duan Chen often goes to the Huangbang Martial Arts Arena to fight the defenders.

To put it bluntly, those yellow list guards are actually a kind of ranking.

Because, all the outer disciples who have good strength have been there to participate in the ring competition.

And those top 30 defenders on the yellow list are almost the strongest 30 among the outer disciples.

In these days, Duan Chen has been fighting against the defenders, and his ranking has already successfully squeezed into the fifth place.

Of course, this is naturally related to Duan Chen's reservations, otherwise, it would be almost easy to squeeze into the top three.

Duan Chen's current spiritual power cultivation has reached the early stage of the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, plus the strength of the mid-stage peak of the second-level soul master.

The combination of the two, its combat effectiveness, directly soared several times.

Therefore, it is not difficult to achieve this ranking, so if you want to pass the first assessment, it is a sure thing.

As for the assessment of the second level, that is the inner disciple of the battle, but if you can persist in ten moves in his hands and not lose, he can pass the assessment and successfully join the inner gate.

This may seem simple, but it's not.

Because, those who have become inner disciples, which one is not the strength of the Yuan Spirit Realm.

There is a big difference between the Yuan Spirit Realm and the Transformation Spirit Realm, and it can be said to be a small watershed.

Yuan Spirit Realm, after reaching this level, the spiritual sea in the human body, the spiritual energy stored in it, will be liquefied, and thus transformed into Yuan power.

Yuan power is naturally not comparable to spiritual power, so this second level of assessment, if you want to resist the ten moves of the inner disciples, it is a little difficult for many excellent disciples of the outer sect.

After leaving the Soul Pagoda, Duan Chen came directly to the square where the pagoda was located, because today's inner door assessment test was held here.

At this moment, it is only early in the morning, and the sky is full of vigorous and warm sunshine

, all of which have never emerged, but here, it has long been crowded with people, and it seems extremely noisy.

In the most central area of this square, at this moment, a temporary competition platform has already been built.

From a distance, there are almost hundreds of competition platforms, which shows that there are a large number of outer disciples.

In front of those arenas, a referee's seat was also built, and those who could sit on it were none other than those inner disciples with more seniority.

Inside, Duan Chen met an acquaintance.

She sat in the center of the referee's seat, although she was only a woman, but almost no one dared to despise this woman, because she was not only as simple as she looked on the outside, like a good-looking vase, her identity was enough to move countless people.

Because, she is one of the five best disciples in the Blood Moon Sect.

The personal disciples, whether it is their prestige in the sect or their own good cultivation, are the unattainable existence of countless geniuses.

And this woman is none other than Nie Qingqing, who is very close to Duan Chen.

Today's girl is still wearing the black robe, the costume symbolized by the Archdeacon of the Blood Moon Sect.

The black robe is slightly tight, making its already proud figure even more feminine.

Although the girl is not very old, but the delicate body that has the body of the devil is to make countless mature women, overshadowed, and she, just like countless white lotus, the most eye-catching one of the demonic lotus, beautiful but not charming, pure and moving but not ignorant, I have to say, the girl is a well-deserved little beauty.

Just by those outer disciples, as well as those outstanding inner disciples sitting beside her, from time to time, looking at their fiery eyes, you can know how amazing the girl's demeanor is.

And not long after Duan Chen looked at Nie Qingqing's side, the girl seemed to be aware of it, and she actually looked at it with a ghost.

The four eyes were intertwined, and an inexplicable emotion permeated the hearts of the two.

After a long time, the girl nodded her head like a little daughter-in-law, and then looked away.

On top of a towering mountain not far from this square, three young figures stood in the wind.

"Brother Changkong, Brother Han Xiao, do you two think that on the day of this year's inner door assessment, how many outer disciples will stand out from them?"

Among the three young men, a handsome man with a delicate appearance seemed to say casually.

And this person is the young man who praised Duan Chen Junyi in the Huangbang Wudou Pavilion three months ago, in an attic.

And this person's name is Ye Qingyu, and he is now one of the five major disciples of the Blood Moon Sect.

Hearing this, among the two young men on the side, a man with a burly body and a resolute face immediately said disdainfully: "Hehe, the outer disciple is just a disciple, what does it mean to be like an ant?"

This young man's name is Ji Changkong, and he is also one of the five major disciples of the Blood Moon Sect.

The person who answered the call was a short young man, who smiled proudly and said, "Yes! After all, we are only outer disciples! Do you remember how the five of us became personal disciples?"

And this person is also one of the five major disciples of the Blood Moon Sect, named Lin Hanxiao.

These three young men are all one of the five best disciples in the Blood Moon Sect today, and their strength has all stepped into the peak level of the Xuanling Realm, and they are only half a step away from the Heavenly Spirit Realm that is flying in the sky.

Hearing the two of them speak one after another, Ye Qingyu shook his head, and then, said, "Of course I remember, the four of us, from outer disciples to personal disciples, only took three years, and he... It only took three years..."

Speaking of this, Ye Yuxuan's words were stagnant, and after a while, he asked with a smile: "Have you two ever heard of Duan Chen?"

"Duan Chen?"

Hearing the sound, both of them were stunned, and then, Lin Hanxiao smiled and said, "I've heard of it!"

"I heard that this person can not only resist the sound of the dragon roar in the Soul Pagoda, but also broke into the third layer of the pagoda not long ago, which is a bit amazing. ”

At this time, Ji Changkong took a step forward and said disdainfully: "The third layer of soul power in the pagoda, which of the three of us can't easily resist it? The sound of the dragon's roar... Come to think of it, this person must have used some kind of side-by-side means, otherwise, how could he have done this?"

"If he could really do that, wouldn't he be on par...?"

"Haha!" Ye whispered a loud laugh, but he shook his head for some reason, and said: "No matter what means this son uses, he can resist the sound of the dragon's roar, but I have to say that this time is indeed very good, after all, the means are also a kind of ability of their own strength!"

Hearing his words that seemed to have some praise and even some admiration for Duan Chen, Ji Changkong and Lin Hanxiao couldn't help frowning slightly, and then looked at Ye Qingyu with complicated eyes.

"Could it be... Have you forgotten his advice? Do you have to understand, little junior sister Qingqing, but the person he has a crush on, you dare to disobey his orders?"

Ye Yuxuan didn't have much emotional change, just chuckled lightly and said, "Speaking from my heart, I just have no other intentions..."
