Chapter 66: Star Surveying
Coming out of the Hall of Mountains and Rivers, unconsciously, Tang Chen regained his youthful heart, and his youthful and mature state seemed to only show up when he encountered pressure.
The previous messenger led the way again and took Tang Chen back to the mountain gate, and his attitude towards Tang Chen along the way was a little better.
At this time, the disciples who had originally gathered in the Shanmen Square had already dispersed and were arranged to go to a temporary residence, and after all the disciples recruited by the city had arrived, a new disciple entrance ceremony would be held.
The envoy found an old disciple and asked him to send Tang Chen to his temporary residence.
When Tang Chen came to the temporary residence, those disciples of Hanyang City came out to greet him, and everyone was curious about Tang Chen's summons by the sect master, but Tang Chen didn't say anything, and it was inconvenient for them to ask more.
Of course, they could roughly guess some reasons, and it was estimated that Tang Chen should have shown a combat power comparable to that of the Star King when he was in the city competition, so that it attracted the attention of the sect.
They felt that this was a good thing for Tang Chen.
For the next few days, everyone stayed in the temporary quarters, occasionally walking around the neighborhood, but they could not leave the confines of the temporary residences, and there were old disciples guarding outside, and if they crossed the border, they would be warned.
For the Star Person, this is nothing, just enough to cultivate with peace of mind.
Tang Chen is even more at ease with what he encounters, and spends most of his time every day cultivating the "Nine Turning Techniques of Devouring Stars".
During this period, he had a discussion with the children of the Tang family about joining the Nine Alliances, and only then did he learn that the children of the Tang family were scattered in various alliances, almost every alliance had them, and the reason was that joining the Nine Alliances was not chosen at random, but depending on their respective star soul attributes.
For example, if you want to join the Mountain Alliance, you need to have an Earth Soul attribute.
Since the vast majority of people's star souls only have one series of attributes, they have no choice, what is the attribute of the star soul, they must choose to join the corresponding alliance.
The correspondence between the attributes of the star soul and the sub-alliance is also clear, the earth system corresponds to the mountain alliance, the water system corresponds to the river alliance, the fire system corresponds to the fire alliance, the gold system corresponds to the gold alliance, the wood system corresponds to the wood alliance, the wind system corresponds to the wind alliance, the thunder system corresponds to the thunder alliance, the ice system corresponds to the ice alliance, and the light system corresponds to the Ming League.
After learning of this situation, Tang Chen had no choice but to give up his plan to enter the same alliance with the children of the Tang family.
As for which branch alliance he wanted to join, he couldn't make up his mind for a while, and the River Alliance, Wind Alliance, Flame Alliance, Ice Alliance, and Mountain Alliance, which had invited him, were naturally the first choice.
Especially the Hemeng, as soon as he remembered the situation when Xu Qingqing visited Qingshan City late at night that night, Tang Chen's heart couldn't help but throb.
"If there is no accident, maybe I will join the River Alliance......" Tang Chen thought.
Five days later, Tang Chen and the others finally received a notice from the old disciples, and rushed to the Shanmen Square together to participate in the new disciples' entrance ceremony.
In addition to them, disciples from other cities also arrived one after another, and soon they were arranged in a neat formation in the square according to the pre-demarcated area.
Thirty-five towns, plus Shanhe City, a total of thirty-six cities, divided into thirty-six small areas, Tang Chen's Hanyang City ranked second, ranking behind Shanhe City.
Regarding this arrangement, those who had seen Tang Chen's strength a few days ago did not feel that there was anything wrong with it, because they also believed that Hanyang City, where Tang Chen existed, had the qualifications to rank second, and if Shanhe City was not a city directly under the central government, it was not impossible to even rank first.
And those who don't know the truth are very surprised, because the ranking of each city in the Shanhe Sect is fixed, and Hanyang City ranks twenty-seventh, whether it is the new disciple initiation ceremony or other sect activities, Hanyang City is based on this ranking.
"Could it be that the rankings of the cities have been adjusted?"
These people couldn't help but secretly guess, but after looking at the positions of other cities, they found that it seemed that only Hanyang City was adjusted.
Soon, the new disciples from various cities were assembled, and eight hundred people lined up in a neat line, looking from a distance, there was quite a bit of a majestic momentum.
Immediately, an elder of the outer gate announced the official start of the new disciple's entrance ceremony, and after instructing the old disciple to light the incense, he led everyone to worship the mountain gate.
After three bows and nine knocks, everyone can be regarded as the official outer disciples of the Shanhe Sect.
After that, the elder of the outer gate led everyone through the mountain gate, climbed the stairs, and came to a place called the "Star Measuring Platform".
This platform is nine zhang high, the lower width is narrow like a pyramid, it is made of white jade stone, there is a stele and a stone on the high platform, the stele is a test star stele, and the stone is the star measuring stone.
Everyone followed the elders of the outer gate and ascended to the high platform from the front of the star measuring platform, but they saw that there were already people waiting here on the high platform, including the leaders of the nine alliances, and some people, the new disciples did not know each other, but they could guess that they should be the high-level leaders of the various alliances.
"Needless to say, they must have come to see Tang Chen's star survey......"
The new disciple who knew so guessed.
And those new disciples who don't know about it don't know who these people are, so they don't have any special ideas.
The new disciples came to test the Star Observatory, not to test their real combat power, but to test the Star Soul attributes, so that they could choose the appropriate alliance.
The new disciples were tested in order, and the first was the new disciples from Shanhe City.
"Nie Xiong!"
There was an old disciple who assisted the elders of the outer gate to roll call, Nie Xiong heard the voice, came to the star stone behind the star test tablet, and under the prompting of the old disciple, put his hand on the star stone, and then urged the star power.
I saw that the astral stone first bloomed with white light, and then bloomed with golden light, and the two rays of light rippled like water waves, spreading towards the top of the astrometer stone.
Eventually, the white light stopped in the interval marked "six", while the golden light stopped in the interval marked "five".
When an old disciple next to him saw it, his eyes showed surprise, and he immediately recorded it in a booklet, and then sang aloud: "Ice is six grades, gold is five grades." ”
"Whoop......
Everyone let out a burst of exclamations, everyone knows that the star soul attribute is divided into nine grades according to the strength and weakness, the first grade is the lowest, and the nine grades are the highest, which to some extent represents the level of the star soul talent, the stronger the attribute, the greater the effect of the attribute bonus.
Most people's star soul attributes are between the third and fifth grades, and it is quite good to be able to reach the fifth grade, while the sixth rank is already an absolute excellent talent, and as for the seventh rank or above, it is extremely rare.
In the distance, the leaders of the various alliances and the people around them congratulated Nie Bufan, the leader of the Ice Alliance, Nie Xiong was a disciple of his Nie family, and it was indeed something worth celebrating to have this talent.
Nie Bufan smiled and thanked him one by one, but he didn't look surprised, it can be seen that he had known about this result for a long time.
In fact, the Nie family, as one of the nine major families in Shanhe City, has its own star measuring stones, and has long been tested for the children of the family of the right age, who is superior and who is inferior, they know very well in their hearts, and naturally there will not be many surprises at this time.
Nie Xiong was more affected by everyone's reactions, and pride arose spontaneously in his heart, and when he returned to the team from the Star Measuring Stone, he couldn't help but glance at where Tang Chen was, and secretly guessed in his heart that Tang Chen's star soul attribute would be a few grades......
