Chapter Ninety-Four: Three Tests
Time flies in a blink of an eye, and today's Water Moist Chamber of Commerce and Tuyi Chamber of Commerce in Xihe City are particularly lively, because today is the recommended test for the annual Youth Protection Competition.
In the spacious hall, the fat man and Zhang Hao sat looking at each other. Zhang Hao was holding a not-so-thick paper in his hand and watching carefully, but the fat man opposite him was yawning boredly, looking lazy.
"Mouse, what is the king going to do? I haven't come back after going out with Uncle Menghai for so long, so I still have some broken paper for us to see, what do you mean? Reaching out and scooping up the paper on the bed, he flipped through two pages and returned to the table, impatient.
"Come on, I didn't say I would let you come, the second brother said that I would go with you to the forest outside Xiaobi Mountain to train with Xiaoqiang today, and you had to come with me with a dead face. ”
Zhang Hao waved his hand and shifted his gaze from the paper in his hand. This note is about the details of the recommended test, but the font on it is too small, and there are too many rules, Zhang Hao has been reading it for a long time, and he still has some partial understanding.
"Squeak"
While the two were talking, the door of the hall was gently pushed open, and Wang Hai and Menghai walked in together.
"How is it? Do you understand the rules?" Wang Hai walked to the seat next to Zhang Hao and sat down, glanced at the fat man who was frowning and bitter, he reached out and took out a name card in his arms, handed it to Zhang Hao, and said, "Give, I have already reported the name to you, this is the identity card." ”
Taking the sign, Zhang Hao nodded and smiled: "xiexie." It's just that I don't know much about the rules of this test, and there are many things I don't understand. ”
"It was my negligence. Wang Hai took the paper in Zhang Hao's hand and said with a smile: "These are all things on the surface of the recommended test, the Youth Lifting Competition has been inherited for so long, and the rules of the recommended test have been perfected for dozens of generations, which is indeed a bit verbose." The test itself is not complicated. ”
Wang Hai glanced at everyone present and explained: "The illusion master cultivates, and the illusion body is the best criterion for judging strength. When it comes to cultivation, the foundation is the most important. Even the geniuses of some big families, with the help of the elders, could only break through some of the meridians in their bodies, and at most they could reach a sixfold phantom body. After that, there is a sense of pulling out the seedlings to help them. After all, if you want to successfully condense the Phantom Pill, you have very high requirements for the control of the toughness and strength of the meridians and the thickness of the mixture. ”
"As for the phantom beast, this is beyond everyone's control, the shili where the junior is located, the talent of the phantom beast of the contract is relatively high, and the cultivation is fast. Therefore, the main focus of the test is on the talent of the recommender, in other words, the phantom body. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Hai took a sip of the teacup on the table, and then said, "It's very simple. There are only three steps, the first of which is to repress the elemental chamber. Since this tournament is the most ambitious in ten years, it is time for the rise of various shili juniors. Therefore, there were a total of twenty-five people who participated in the test, including the Tan family, the Liu family, the city lord's mansion, and the juniors of our own chamber of commerce. ”
"What is the Heavy Pressure Elemental Chamber?" Zhang Hao asked, a little confused.
"The elemental room is the place where the illusionist cultivates, and there are many such cultivation resources in each big family, and the masters of the clan use their divine soul power to pull all kinds of heaven and earth energy, and infuse it into a sealed space for the juniors to cultivate. And the heavy pressure element room is one of them, but the heaven and earth energy inside has been adjusted, in a state of heavy pressure, which can test the bearing ability of the junior phantom body, in the heavy pressure element room, it is not allowed to use physical strength, and it must rely on the liliang of the body itself to withstand the overwhelming squeezing force. Otherwise, even if the rules are violated, there will be a warning light display outside. Hearing this question, Menghai explained on the side.
Nodding slightly, Wang Hai said, "Brother Meng is right, it's true, and our Chamber of Commerce has five heavy pressure element rooms. However, in the test, in front of many people, some juniors can't pull their faces, and they may be reckless, which will eventually lead to injury. Therefore, during the test, there will be several masters in the Chamber of Commerce who have reached the five-fold phantom body wearing the prescient of the Heavy Pressure Elemental Room to enter it, and they can use their own strength to protect their bodies for monitoring. If the subject can't bear it, they'll be sent out immediately. ”
After speaking, Wang Hai's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light and looked at Zhang Hao, and said, "Xiao Hao, the extrusion liliang in the elemental room is not trivial, and the tester can only resist it with his body." It shouldn't be a problem for you to pass the first test. However, in the past 500 years, no one has ever broken the record of this test. ”
"Hmm. ”
Feeling Wang Hai's fiery eyes, Zhang Hao smiled noncommittally. With the cultivation of the phantom body, after being nourished by the energy of heaven and earth, the human body will become stronger and stronger. And the heavy pressure element room is somewhat interesting, if ordinary people don't need to exert their strength, entering this room, there is no doubt that the whole body is suffering from liliang blows similar to the five-fold phantom body every moment. Therefore, if a cultivator hadn't stayed in the Fivefold Illusion Body Realm for a period of time and had cultivated a small success, he would probably have been able to survive in this elemental room. This may be a threshold for the recommended test.
After thinking about it, Zhang Hao asked with some interest: "Uncle Wang, could it be that for this elemental room test, the Chamber of Commerce transferred five masters at the level of summoning masters from the main branch to assist?"
Hearing this, Wang Hai was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Hao said that he was joking, although the master of the summoning master level is not a master in the three major empires, he is also a figure with a head and a face in this Xiran country. There are only five management masters in our headquarters and branches who have reached this realm. Two of them you have already seen are Gu Mo and Li Tang. ”
"Where are the quintessential phantom masters?"
Feeling the confusion on Zhang Hao's face, Wang Hai and Menghai looked at each other and smiled, only to see Menghai shake his head and said, "Although this shijie is the world of illusionist cultivation, there are also some people with strong physical fitness, and they can't open the divine soul. However, with the help of external forces, the body meridians can be forcibly broken through to reach the fourfold or even fivefold realm. Generally, their cultivation to the fivefold illusion body is the limit, and for this reason, most of these people have to rely on some relatively powerful shili potency, otherwise it will be difficult to do it. ”
"That's right. Zhang Hao nodded, looked at Wang Hai, and said, "Uncle Wang, what about the second item of the test?"
"The second item is a real phantom strength test, and the Chamber of Commerce has prepared a stone grinding instrument to measure the strength of the phantom body. If the tester is not eliminated in the first test, he or she will be eligible to participate in the second test, which is very simple, and the top eight will be selected according to the strength of the phantom body. Wang Hai responded lightly.
"The top eight, isn't there only six places recommended by the Chamber of Commerce, and the eight are selected, and the remaining two are substitutes?
"What's the mess?" Menghai looked at the fat man with a wry smile and said, "Being able to get the recommended place of the Chamber of Commerce itself shows that they are beyond ordinary people's strength, they are the top six strong contenders in the Youth Conservation Competition, how can they give up so easily?"
Glancing at the fat man, Wang Hai said with a wry smile: "There are six places in the Chamber of Commerce, and the reason why eight are selected is the content of the third test." ”
After a slight pause, Wang Hai muttered: "The first thing that the Imperial Academy recruits is to focus on the phantom body strength of the illusionist, because the body and the soul coexist. If the talent is superb and the phantom beast is not too bad, there are many ways to cultivate the phantom beast in the later stage. But if you want to make up for the difference in innate divine souls, it will be a hundred times more difficult. ”
"Although the five major chambers of commerce of Zhengyuan Dalu are independent of the three empires, the Water Moist Chamber of Commerce and the Golden Hairpin Chamber of Commerce have been close to the Tianshui Empire since ancient times. Therefore, the recommended test of the Chamber of Commerce, adhering to the admissions standards of Tianshui Imperial Academy, focuses on phantom detection. However, the importance of phantom beasts to illusionists is also self-evident. Therefore, the second item will select eight people, and the two zuihou will have a chance to challenge one of the top six, there is no limit to this competition, and the illusionist can make the phantom beast lean over to fight. ”
"Uncle Wang, to put it bluntly, these three tests are still beneficial to the juniors who have opened the Divine Soul. If an ordinary person only cultivates phantom bodies, how can they be able to confront the illusion masters of contract phantom beasts at the same age?"
Although Wang Hai emphasized the fairness and reasonableness of the test from beginning to end, the result was still a junior who favored contract phantom beasts. Zhang Hao shrugged his shoulders, put the identity card in his hand into his arms, and said: "The main thing is to look at the results, if the result is eliminated, the first two items are actually meaningless, at most they are just making some money." ”
"That's right, if you put it aside to the usual youth protection competition. I'm afraid that there won't be enough free places for six people, but this time it's different. Ten years is enough time for the new generation of shili to grow up, so a full twenty-six people came to participate in this test. Even if these people are eliminated, as long as they pass the first or second test, they will add a lot of face to the shili where they are. ”
Wang Hai nodded, asked Zhang Hao tentatively, and said, "Brother Xiaohao, do you see this test? If it's too late to quit now, I can arrange it for you immediately." After all, zuihou is a real battle. In front of so many people, the juniors are quite indisproportionate between their shots, and they are easy to get injured, and it is difficult to finally get a place with the strength of the phantom body alone. ”
"Exit?"
Zhang Hao smiled and shook his head, and said, "I'll try it, the senior of the Zhang family had guided my phantom body cultivation before, and now I have some confidence, but if you embarrass Uncle Wang at that time, don't take it to heart." ”
Hearing this, Wang Hai's heart fluctuated. Because Menghai had never told the old man of the Zhang family in detail about guiding Zhang Hao's cultivation, he didn't know anything at all.
"Brother Xiao Hao, your soul really hasn't been opened?"
Looking at the confidence on Zhang Hao's face at this moment, Wang Hai couldn't help but ask, to be honest, even if he saw the former defeat Li Tang and Gu Mo with one punch two days ago, he still didn't believe that the other party's divine soul had not been opened, but he had reached such an illusion realm.
Seeing that Zhang Hao smiled and didn't answer, Wang Hai couldn't help but look at Menghai, seeing that the latter shook his head gently, a trace of essence flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Uncle Wang is thick-skinned and not afraid of being embarrassed." If Brother Xiao Hao has the confidence to participate in the test, I absolutely support it. ”
After that, Wang Hai stood up and said, "Then let's go to do identification, I'll arrange it at noon, everyone will stay in the Chamber of Commerce, and the test will start at two o'clock in the afternoon." ”
Immediately after, everyone followed Wang Hai out of the hall, and after completing the identification, Zhang Hao and the others were arranged to rest in a hospitality room, while Wang Hai left in a hurry to prepare for the test......
