Chapter 272: Ye Xiu Yu Lin, Sun Bi Destroy (First Update)
The Purple Cloud Sect's assessment meeting is held once a year, and each time it lasts for more than ten days. The start date is often set at the end of the first month, and when it ends depends on the situation.
And in these more than ten days, as long as you have enough strength, you can achieve the transformation of a carp leaping into the dragon gate, from an obscure preparatory disciple to a disciple who has directly entered the house, or even an elder disciple.
Because all levels of assessment are concentrated in the same time period. You can completely pass the assessment of the preparatory disciples, and directly participate in the assessment of the subsequent grades, as long as you obtain the qualifications, the sect will not hinder you, and on the contrary, you will advocate it very much. After all, most of those who can do carp leaping over the dragon gate are extremely talented, and they will definitely be the pillars of the sect in the future.
However, although the dragon gate is placed there, it can really do multi-level jumps in a year, and there are almost none. Even if he is a genius Han Feng, he is still assessed step by step year after year. Now in most people's memories, there is only one person who has become a disciple directly from a disciple in the house in the year of his assessment. To this day, it is still a very legendary past.
The decisive arena of the assessment conference is located in an open place in the north of the central part of Lingyun City. But rather than a decisive battleground, this is a huge city within a city, and its area is not much inferior to that of Dragon Sparrow City.
Stepping into it, you can see eight huge palaces each occupying one side, and there are actually small decisive battle halls in the inside, which are used for the first few rounds of screening in the assessment competition. And in the middle of the eight palaces, it is the most huge decisive battle.
At this moment, there was already a sea of people outside this city-within-a-city. Every year, there are countless enthusiastic young people who want to become a member of the sect. There are also people who hope that their status in the sect will be greatly improved, and then they will be vigorously cultivated by the sect and become pillar-like figures.
Therefore, in the country of Ziyun, the most lively day of the year is today instead of the New Year. Walking on the incomparably wide street, you can see the fighting spirit and expectations in the eyes of every young person. At this moment, those old people will feel as if they have become younger, and their blood will also boil in an instant.
But there are many people who have passed by with a little calm in their eyes. Because they know very well that only a few of them can truly achieve transformation today. Many more may never come back, and they are just stepping stones for a few geniuses to rise.
This is the law of the world of the strong, cruel and naked.
At this moment, Long Haotian was mixed in the crowd, walking forward with the flow of people, and sometimes he even felt that even if he didn't leave, he would be taken to the assessment place by this crowd.
However, he was wrong, because the crowd was not the exam room, but the casino. Or to be exact, it is a semicolon of Lingyun City's Donglai Pavilion located near the examination room.
Since the Great Elder of Guyun vigorously promoted the gambling industry, after decades of development, it has already become the pillar industry of Ziyun County. At the beginning, it was precisely by relying on this industry that the resources of some sects and families around the Purple Cloud Sect were gradually absorbed. And in the end, it achieved a reversal.
Nowadays, in Ziyun County, everyone is still martial, and everyone is still gambling. Whenever there is a large-scale duel, or a prosperous era like the assessment conference, it is the busiest time for Donglai Pavilion.
At each assessment meeting, Donglai Pavilion will select ten places from thousands of candidates at each level. And these forty people are also the leading figures among the disciples of each level. Their rankings will be determined in the big decisive arena in the middle. At the same time, their ranking is also the main source of Donglai Pavilion's gold absorption.
The two people walking behind Long Haotian have been talking about it all the time, and because of the loud voices, they didn't take into account their own voices, so they were really heard by Long Haotian.
I heard one of them say, "Brother, do you have any more optimistic people this time?"
"Needless to say, aren't those two people the most favored this year?" replied the brother.
"That's right! Since the last time they met and ended in a draw, many people have been eagerly waiting for them to fight again. Unfortunately, they are in two classes. That Long Haotian was a disciple of the house, and Han Feng was an elder disciple. I'm afraid I'll miss the battle this time!"
"yes, it's a pity!"
"Heh, is my voice so loud?" Long Haotian secretly laughed at when he heard this.
In a short time, people had gathered at the door of the casino and began to figure out who to bet on.
Although Long Haotian is in Dragon Bird City, he is known as the "God of Gambling", but in fact, he has no interest in gambling. In particular, now that he has gone from a dark horse to the No. 1 seed, even if he finds someone to spend money on his own bets, he can't win much. So, I was going to ask for directions and leave.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a voice from the crowd: "Huh, look, isn't this person Long Haotian?"
"Huh!"
Suddenly, the crowd fell silent. Countless pairs of eyes shot towards Long Haotian.
Moments later, the scene was boiling.
"Long Haotian, this time we will still buy you, you must not let us lose money again!"
"That's it, I'm even betting on my net worth and my life this time, betting on you first, you must not release the water!"
............
Long Haotian is full of black lines in his head, release water? I'm afraid that Donglai Pavilion will not let himself go! And in the eyes of others, he is a gold panning machine. Although the dignity of a martial artist makes him inevitably strive for the first, it is a bit strange to be expected by so many people.
At this time, Long Haotian could clearly feel that there were a few jealous and even hateful glances from the crowd. Their aura Long Haotian was not familiar with, so he guessed that maybe these were the rest of the people who were selected for the list of disciples of the Donglai Pavilion.
Since the disciples who enter the house are the elder disciples, and the elder disciples are already the reserve talents that the sect needs to protect and vigorously cultivate. Therefore, every time they are assessed, the top ten new elder disciples will be rewarded with the rich resources of the sect. Especially the top three, it is said that in addition to resources, they can also enter the sea of thunderclouds and lightning for baptism.
The so-called thundercloud electric sea is actually two huge heavenly pools: the thundercloud pool and the electric sea pool. And in this pool, it is a liquid similar to the Purple Xuan Thunder Wine, containing the power of the powerful thunder spirit. If a warrior bathes in it, he can refine his physical body, improve his cultivation, and obtain unimaginable benefits.
These two pools are the places that almost every sect disciple dreams of. Among them, the Thundercloud Pool is specially designed for disciples, and only the first three disciples can enjoy it. And the third place can only enjoy it for one day, the second place can only enjoy it for two days, and the first place can only enjoy it for five days.
If Long Haotian doesn't come, many people will covet the first place. But at the moment, even Donglai Pavilion regards Long Haotian as the No. 1 seed, and the odds are extremely low. It can be said that in their opinion, Long Haotian is undoubtedly the first disciple, which makes the rest of the people feel extremely jealous and hateful.
Of course, if Han Feng sees this odds, his heart will also be flooded.
In fact, in terms of strength, Han Feng definitely has the ability to achieve two jumps within a year. But if he wanted to become the first disciple to bathe in the thundercloud pool, it was difficult to say, so he chose to be safe. A year ago, he was injured because of his training, which led to the end of only getting the third disciple and entering the thundercloud pool for one day. This is one of his biggest regrets. If Long Haotian can really get the first disciple this time, I really don't know how much stimulation it will have on him.
However, for the reason for these people's jealousy, at least Long Haotian is not fully aware of it at the moment. There is only one kind of sigh in his heart, which is beautiful in the forest, and Sun will destroy it. People really can't be too good, otherwise they can't do it even if they want to be low-key.
