The three disciples said "yes" and bowed at the same time, and Elder Liu glanced at the three children again, turned around and walked out.

Now, there are only three children left.

Through the roll call just now, Zhang Fan already knew the names of the two children next to him, the one with a calm face was called "Zhao Xian" and the other fat child was called "Sun Hu"

After Elder Liu, who was in charge of the assessment, left, the chubby child exhaled exaggeratedly, and at the same time looked at Zhang Fan and Zhao Xian.

"It's cruel, there are a total of sixteen of us who became disciples of the Inner Gate Medicine Valley in the same year, and now there are only three left, let's get to know each other, my name is Sun Hu." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the little fat man arched his hand at Zhang Fan and Zhao Xian.

"If you have this time to get to know each other, you might as well use this time to continue your efforts. The kid named Zhao Xian glanced at Sun Hu, then glanced at Zhang Fan, and after saying a word, he didn't stop at all, turned around and left.

Sun Hu's face was embarrassed, but at this time, Zhang Fan smiled and said, "My name is Zhang Fan." ”

"Brother Zhang. Sun Hu arched his hand again, and at the same time said with a flushed face: "I really think that I am so great, isn't it just an excellent one! I will surpass him one day sooner or later!"

Zhang Fan nodded again and again, they were also teenagers of the same age, Sun Hu and Zhang Fan quickly became one, and then he knew that Sun Hu's courtyard was next to him, but it was just a wall apart, but due to the heavy curriculum of the disciples of the Medicine Valley, they had only met each other a few times in the big kitchen inside the door, and they didn't even know each other's names, and after chatting for a while, the two returned to the courtyard together and gave each other their hands.

"Keep up the good work. Sun Hu said.

"The same goes for you. Zhang Fan replied, pushed open the door of the courtyard, and once again devoted himself to his busy study.

After more than half a year of ordinary cultivation life, because of the same temperament and the fact that they were both disciples who entered the inner gate in the same year, Zhang Fan and Sun Hu soon became friends who talked about everything.

Zhang Fan slowly gathered his internal strength, at this time, his internal cultivation had reached the tenth level of the cultivation period, and he had mastered all the advanced pharmaceuticals, healing, cultivation, and the human body.

None of this was the most rewarding for him, but what made him happiest was that he had finally begun to master the use of mist energy and discovered the various functions of mist energy.

For example, if this energy covers the whole body, it can hide its true breath, and when this energy is used to exert internal strength, it will have an obvious amplification effect! It can also gather this energy into the mind, which has the effect of calming the mind and calming the nerves.

Zhang Fan also discovered a miraculous thing, that is, when the mist energy begins to reach a certain level, it will be absorbed by the wooden sign that he has hung around his neck since he was a child!

Every time he absorbed, Zhang Fan would hold a wooden plaque engraved with his name and observe it carefully, but he couldn't find anything at all, but he determined a truth, that is, this wooden plaque must not be simple, and at the same time, he also had a huge curiosity about who his biological parents were.

The hand pinched the wooden card again, Zhang Fan's eyes were complicated, and after a while, he slowly exhaled.

These problems cannot be solved for a while, and can only be solved one by one when there is a chance to solve them later.

After he completely sorted out his thoughts, Zhang Fan stood up, habitually moved his muscles, pushed open the door and walked out.

Turning his head to look at his yard, the corners of Zhang Fan's mouth turned slightly.

The weeds in the entire yard have been stripped away, and all of them have been planted with "awakening grass" that can refresh the mind. At the same time, there are a few thin silk threads, wrapped around the courtyard gate, and the dead corners around the yard, these ropes are placed very hidden, do not look carefully can not be found at all, the end of the line is tied to the bell, hung in the house, if outsiders want to come in from the outside without greeting, Zhang Fan can know for the first time.

Why is the courtyard planted with awakening grass, this is the most secret thing Zhang Fan has done, although the smell emitted by the awakening grass is refreshing, but as long as it is stained with a little flame, the refreshing air will immediately turn into a coma gas that is more powerful than the sweat medicine, as long as you smell it, any person below the tenth layer of the cultivation period will faint instantly, even if the strong person above the tenth layer of the cultivation period is difficult to make any further moves in this situation.

This kind of small early warning measures and dangers are habits he has developed since he was a child, although he is very safe within the sect, but this does not allow Zhang Fan to relax his sensitive and cautious nerves, and the hunting education he has received since childhood has made him understand that it is always good to be cautious.

Pushing open the courtyard door, Zhang Fan walked out of his yard, habitually observed the surroundings, and then slowly walked towards the kitchen of the medicine valley.

When passing by Sun Hu's courtyard, Zhang Fan took a look.

Sure enough, Sun Hu's courtyard door was closed, and it was estimated that he was still enduring the pain of his body.

After the first assessment, Sun Hu became even harder, except for meeting a few times and chatting a few times in the canteen of the Medicine Valley, but he went back in a hurry, and the glory of the inner disciples was very irresistible.

Through the conversation with Sun Hu, Zhang Fan learned that Sun Hu's original practice was an extremely gentle and gradual exercise, but he disliked that the progress was too slow and he was afraid that he would not be able to pass the assessment next year, so he went to the Martial Arts Secret Pavilion in the door to change a book called "Swallowing Life Formula".

This "swallowing life recipe" is rarely known in the rivers and lakes, and unlike most ordinary kung fu, most of the kung fu starts from the simple and gradually becomes difficult, and this exercise is extremely difficult from the beginning, and to bear the unbearable pain of ordinary people, first of all, you have to melt most of the flesh and blood in the body, this step is the most painful, I don't know how many people can't bear this kind of pain and lose their lives.

But as long as the first step can be passed, and after your own flesh and blood are turned into pure abilities, then the path of cultivation will be smooth, except for a few major passes that are difficult to break through, the rest of the level realm will become extremely easy, and when you are against people, you will be extremely fierce, and you will absorb people's internal force when you start your hands, which is a first-class ferocious technique.

What's even more enviable is that this trick can take other people's internal force for its own use, but every time the internal force absorbed from outsiders has to be refined in the body after a struggle, and the pain during the period can drive people crazy.

This exercise is extremely difficult to practice, and even if it is practiced, it will absorb people's internal strength when facing the enemy, and then suffer a very great pain, although there are various advantages to practicing this technique, but it still makes most people shy away from this exercise, which is why this exercise is not famous in the rivers and lakes, and only a few old rivers and lakes know.

Sun Hu, who had just changed this trick, thought that he could get through, but since he practiced this trick, his originally chubby body is now thin and skinny, and he used to smile at every turn, but now he frowns every day, and the huge pain makes him unable to even speak, but according to Sun Hu, in a few days, he can temporarily get rid of this pain.

Zhang Fan walked forward slowly, along the path of the mountain peak, habitually walking towards the forest at the highest point of the Broken Soul Peak where he could see the sunset.

He is now a master of the tenth layer of the cultivation period, and at the same time has mastered all the advanced courses in the Medicine Valley, with his current martial arts realm, it is no longer possible to break through with blind efforts, the reason why he is running towards the highest place on the peak is just because he wants to see the scenery of the sunset.

"This life-swallowing technique is really not something that ordinary people can practice, but you have to endure such great pain at the beginning, and when it comes to facing the enemy in the future, you must not torture people to death. ”

"The competition in the door is too fierce, and if he can't pass the assessment, he will be sent to the outer door, so it's no wonder that he can make up his mind to practice. Zhang Fan thought as he walked, and kept observing his surroundings.

"I don't know if he'll be able to make it through, I'll give him some soothing medicine in a few days, that's the only thing I can do now. Zhang Fan thought so, it was true, and there was only so much he could do.

Looking up at the trees around, at this time, it was already the season of late autumn and early winter, there was not a single leaf on the trees, and the ground was full of withered yellow leaves, inexplicably, Zhang Fan sighed.

"I haven't been home for a year and a half, and I lied to my mother to go home every month, but I stayed for a year and a half, and I don't know what the situation is at home, whether my father is well or not, and what about my eldest brother and younger sister?"

"I have mastered all the advanced courses in the valley, and I have also reached the realm of the tenth layer of the cultivation stage, and now I can't make progress for a while, so it's better to go home and take a look, maybe I will encounter some comprehension, so as to break through the level at this stage. Zhang Fan paused, slowly thinking about the feasibility of going home.

Suddenly, there was a violent fight, mixed with many cheering and scolding sounds.

The place where the voice came from was very close to Xing Gu, "Could it be that Xing Gu's disciples are sparring?"

Zhang Fan's curiosity was aroused, he had been practicing hard since he started for a year and a half, and he had never seen the disciples in the sect studying, and the idea of going home to see it in his mind was also temporarily suppressed, and he followed the noisy sound and came to the vicinity of the edge of Xing Valley.

There are really a lot of people! He couldn't help but be slightly stunned and taken aback.

At the boundary of Xing Valley, which was completely obscured by trees, there were seventy or eighty people surrounding it, and this not too big place was crowded with so many people, and even on a few large trees nearby, there were a few people standing on the branches and looking out.

With so many people forming a circle, and inside the circle, there are two people who are fighting fiercely.

The two people who are fighting in the field are about the same age as Zhang Fan, and they are all disciples who have just started this year, one of them has a strong body, with visible muscles, and between the palms and fists, there is a faint sound of wind, and the other person is slender and handsome, but a pair of small eyes destroy the overall beauty, but he keeps dodging when he moves, very dexterous, and at the same time has a trace of disdain on his face, it seems that this person does not put the opponent in his eyes at all.

Seeing the two of them make a move, Zhang Fan's pupils shrank slightly, and he praised the two teenagers in the field slightly in his heart, "That little eye footwork is good, it seems that he has not shown his strength, it is roughly estimated that it should be the fourth-layer realm of the cultivation period, and the strong body is also very powerful, and the strong wind is blowing between the shots, and it is estimated that there is a back hand." ”

He silently commented in his heart, and watched it for a while, thinking that it was not interesting, with the realm of the tenth layer of his cultivation period, in his eyes, it was just a child fighting, but he was a little curious about the back hands of the two.

Those two groups of people cheered, some scolded, and some whispered, Zhang Fan used his internal force, and his ears moved slightly, so he heard a rough idea of the cause of this incident.

It turned out that this strong young man was named Hong Shan, and he was a reserve disciple of the Outer Gate Heroes Association, and the slender young man called "Chen Qun" was a disciple of the Inner Gate Xinggu, originally none of these two people knew anyone, but the disciples of the outer door wanted to be the disciples of the Inner Gate In addition to waiting for the vacant seats that were brushed down to fill in by themselves, there was also a non-formal way, that is, to name and challenge, this Chen Qun barely reached the passing level in Xinggu's year-end assessment, so he was targeted by Hong Shan of the Hero Association, and the fight between the two came from like this.

After all, the cultivation environment of the inner door is there, and the disciples of the inner door are basically talented, and they don't have to do anything, they just need to practice every day, and there is enough money every month, and the cheats in the Martial Secret Pavilion can also be applied for viewing, and the disciples of the outer door not only have less money than the disciples of the inner gate, but also have to complete certain tasks every day to continue to maintain the identity of the true martial arts disciples, the difference between the two is too far, which is why the outer disciples can rarely replace the disciples in the door in a challenging way。

As for why this unprecedented popularity, firstly, because success rarely occurs in the way of challenge, and secondly, because Hongshan is recognized as the first place in the Outer Gate Heroes Association, but because he is too conceited, he offended the manager in charge of replacing personnel in the door, so he has been staying in the outer gate, but his strength is indeed undoubted, even those inner disciples who have been brushed down also admit that Hongshan's strength is deservedly the most powerful person to challenge the inner disciples, but Chen Qun has always despised the outer disciples, and never regarded the outer disciples as human beings, so he is naturally the enemy in the eyes of the outer disciples, and Hongshan is the hope of the reserve disciples of the outer gate, So most of the disciples of the outer gate came to cheer for him, and Chen Qun's point of view also had a group of friends in Xinggu, so as soon as he heard about this, he also came to stand for Chen Qun, just like that, friends called friends, and helpers called helpers, so such a big movement was formed.

From the analysis of the voices coming from all around, Zhang Fan found that there were indeed a group of people in the inner gate who bullied some outer disciples all day long, causing more and more disunity within the door.

Although Zhang Fan is an inner disciple, one of the things he hates most in his life is to bully the weak with the strong, so his heart is still more inclined to the outer door Hongshan.

Zhang Fan's ears moved slightly, and when he wanted to hear about the grievances between the inner door and the outer door again, a voice suddenly came.
