Chapter 3 Pre-examination

Zhuo family, the testing ground.

The sun is still blazing, and the blazing sun shines on every corner of the earth.

Although the weather was very hot, there was a lot of noise in the Zhuo family's testing ground. The noisy crowd seemed to be so lively in the proving ground.

Today is a preliminary test for the Zhuo family than before.

The so-called pre-test is a small test before the official clan comparison, and it is also a test for the clansmen themselves.

Under a banyan tree not far from the trial ground, Zhuo Ran was alone refining the remaining medicinal power of the blood jade red yang ginseng in his body without distraction. Unlike the bustle of the proving grounds, it was quiet.

Since the last time Zhuo Ran refined the Blood Jade Chiyang Ginseng in Houshan, most of the medicinal power broke through from the eighth order of aura to the middle of the eighth order, Zhuo Ran has been refining the remaining medicinal power every day during this period of time, trying to break through to the late eighth order.

Zhuo Ran was concentrating, and the aura was slowly refining the medicinal power. It was a slightly dull fiery red energy, which was becoming less and less due to Zhuo Ran's unremitting refining every day.

Slowly, Zhuo Ran pulled out a small part of the fiery red energy. He guided the small amount of fiery red energy to flow through every inch of his body, feeling the heat and warmth brought by this energy.

"Boom!"

Because of this energy, the aura in Zhuo Ran's body became full, and he successfully broke through to the late stage of the eighth order.

Zhuo Ran stood up, moved his muscles, and happened to see Zhuo Lie walking towards him.

"Father. Zhuo Ran looked at Zhuo Lie and shouted.

"Well, why don't you go to the proving ground yet? ”

Zhuo Ran replied, "I'll be going right away, father." ”

Zhuo Lie smiled and nodded to Zhuo Ran.

After speaking, Zhuo Ran walked in the direction of the trial ground, and after taking a few steps, he turned around and looked at Zhuo Lie behind him.

"Father, aren't you going?" asked Zhuo Ran.

"I won't go to the pre-test, and the Great Elder will preside over it himself. Besides, I believe that Ran'er must be the best, and of course I will save the best for the last. Hurry up, the pre-test will start soon. ”

Zhuo Lie looked at Yu Ran and smiled.

"Okay, father, then I'll go first. Zhuo Ran turned and turned away.

Looking at the back of the person who turned and left, the corners of Zhuo Lie's mouth raised a loving smile.

After Zhuo Ran arrived at the proving ground, the pre-test had just begun. Seeing that there was still a period of time before he tested himself, Zhuo Ran simply found a place and cultivated quietly.

"Next, Zhuoran. On the test bench, the majestic voice of the Great Elder came.

Hearing the Great Elder call him, Zhuo Ran withdrew from his cultivation. Open your eyes, get up and walk to the test bench.

Walking to the front of the test bench, Zhuo Ran jumped and landed on the test bench steadily, saw a middle-aged man standing on the stage, and shouted respectfully: "Hello Great Elder." ”

Great Elder Zhuo Hai, with a majestic face of Chinese characters, makes people feel that he is the kind of person who is upright and will not cheat for personal gain. On the other hand, as the Great Elder of the Zhuo Family, the cultivation in the early stage of the Yang Xuan Realm naturally disdained to do such things as favoritism.

"Hahaha......", the Great Elder laughed heartily and said to Zhuo Ran, "Ran'er, seeing you like this, you must not let me down, let's test it!"

The Great Elder looked at Zhuo Ran with a kind face.

"Yes, Grand Elder. Zhuo Ran said.

Zhuo Ran saw an ink-colored stone pillar standing on the test bench, this stone pillar was the spirit pillar used to test spiritual power, and it was used in the family to test the cultivation strength of young disciples. Like the elixir, there is also a hierarchy, this is an ordinary first-grade spiritual weapon, which can only be used to test the cultivation within the spirit refining period, and when your strength breaks through the spirit refining period and enters the spirit gathering realm. Then, relatively speaking, this pillar will be ineffective for you. Although this spirit measuring pillar is only a first-grade spiritual weapon, it is not something that any family can have. For an ordinary family, the price of the pillar is simply astronomical.

Therefore, this spirit measuring pillar can only be used by some wealthier families.

And the person who created these spiritual weapons is called: the refiner.

Alchemist is one of the most admired professions in the world. There are a few other professions that are also admired and highly regarded.

"Then, you only need to mobilize the aura in your body to attack this stone pillar in front of you. The Great Elder's voice reached Zhuo Ran's ears.

After Zhuo Ran listened, he did as the Great Elder said, forming a fist with his right hand, and gathering the aura in his body on his right hand that clenched his fist. A punch hit the stone pillar in front of him, and when that aura hit the stone pillar, not only did it not cause any damage to the stone pillar, but it also engulfed Zhuo Ran's aura inside.

Not long after Zhuo Ran's aura was engulfed by the stone pillar, seven gilded characters appeared on the stone pillar: Spirit Refining Period, Late Eighth Order!

"...... Uproar"

When he saw the seven gilded characters on the stone pillar, there was a boiling sound under the test bench.

"Brother Zhuo Ran is worthy of being the first person in our generation! We are still hovering in the fourth and fifth ranks, and the highest is only the sixth order. But Brother Zhuo Ran has already surpassed us by a lot. In the audience, a teenager who was also a test said enviously.

"Yes, yes, what do you say about how Brother Zhuo Ran usually cultivates. ”

As soon as the boy had finished speaking, another teenager standing beside him chimed in and asked.

"It must be Brother Zhuo Ran's usual hard cultivation!" another person said without thinking.

The young man who asked Zhuo Ran how he usually cultivates thought for a while and said, "I think my cultivation is quite hard." ”

"That's because you're stupid, is Brother Zhuo Ran comparable to you? ”

"Hahaha......"

Immediately, a burst of laughter erupted in the small circle of the teenagers.

On the other side of the test bench, it was a little quiet compared to the lively scene.

"Hmph, what's so great about Zhuo Ran, our brother Yue is the best, okay? The man who said this was a thin young man, who looked a little bit like a monkey with a sharp beak.

"That's it, that's it, our brother Yue is the best!" echoed the young man, just the opposite of his sharp-beaked monkey gills, with a fat head and big ears.

And the brother Yue in their mouths is the young man standing in front of the two of them.

The young man had a handsome face, but at the moment his eyes were looking straight at the test bench, not knowing what he was thinking.

......

On the test bench, the Great Elder was also shocked a little.

"This ...... Ran'er, weren't you the Eighth Order that you only advanced to a few months ago? Why are you now in the late Eighth Order again? Although it was a questioning tone, the Great Elder's mood was undoubtedly very excited.

"My father gave me a blood jade red yang ginseng. Zhuo Ran replied truthfully.

"Although it is said that it is assisted by drugs, it will not be promoted so quickly. The Great Elder said with a little excitement.

Zhuo Ran didn't know what to say, so he scratched his head.

Seeing this, the Great Elder said to Zhuo Ran: "Okay, Ran'er, no matter what, this is inseparable from your usual hard cultivation, you go down and rest first!"

"Yes, thank you, Great Elder. Zhuo Ran said respectfully to the Great Elder.

The Great Elder coughed lightly and said to the audience, "Okay, be quiet, let's continue the test." Next, excellence. ”

Excellence is the handsome young man who has been looking at the test bench just now.

Hearing his name, Excellence walked straight to the test bench.

When Excellence was about to walk to the test bench, Zhuo Ran just passed by him.

Zhuo Ran looked back and saw that Zhuo Ran had been walking forward, then turned his head and went up to the test bench.

After Zhuo Ran finished the test, he walked straight to the outside of the trial ground. But everywhere he went, he was always watched with that kind of adoring gaze.

In this regard, Zhuo Ran shrugged his shoulders and smiled helplessly.

Excellence was on the test bench, testing as the Great Elder had commanded. Soon, a few big characters also appeared on the stone pillar: Spirit Refining Period, the middle stage of the seventh order.

There was another sigh in the audience. It's not as good as Zhuoran, but it's good compared to them.

The Great Elder looked at the stone pillar, then at the excellence, and said, "Well, it's already very good, as the first person in the side line, you have to continue to work hard!"

When Zhuo Zhuo heard the Great Elder say that he was the first person next to him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, but he didn't say anything.

Compared with Zhuo Ran's words, the Great Elder's words were less intimate with Excellence.

"Yes, Grand Elder. Excellence also replied with great respect.

The Great Elder nodded, and Excellence stepped off the test bench.

"It's still very bad compared to him...... "But I'm sure that one day, I'll surpass you, Zhuoran." Excellence said in his heart, and immediately, a fierce color appeared in his eyes.

The pre-test was still in full swing and was not gradually over until dusk......
