Chapter 30: The Trial Begins

Early in the morning, before the sun had risen, Wang Chen was woken up by a burst of noise. Today is the day for the outer disciples to conduct the selection competition, and every outer disciple is very excited, getting up early to prepare.

After Wang Chen finished tidying up, he came to the meeting place and waited for the start of the selection, which was said to be different from the past. Some outer disciples have already inquired that the number of new disciples recruited by the sect this time has greatly increased, which means that many people may completely leave the Ethereal Palace in this selection. Therefore, this selection may be the last chance for some people, and everyone will do their best for themselves.

The people in the square waited anxiously, and the noisy sound made Wang Chen's ears buzz. The sun was slowly rising, and the intellectuals on the trees were screaming desperately, trying to compete with the people. Just when some people were waiting impatiently, Elder Zhu finally appeared.

With the appearance of Elder Zhu, the entire square slowly quieted down, and there was silence in the square, only the Zhizhi on the side was still shouting, as if showing off, you group of people can't do it!

Elder Zhu coughed lightly and whispered a few words to an old man beside him, as if he was asking about something. It seemed that after receiving permission, Elder Zhu finally raised his voice: "Fellow disciples, you must be very excited now, that's right, today is the day when our sect will hold a selection!"

Although all of you are disciples of the outer sect, I believe that you are no worse than anyone else! Moreover, the sect has not forgotten you! Just today, the sect has given us another chance. And this year, compared to previous years, everyone has more opportunities to enter the inner door. I won't say much about the specifics, let Elder Chen answer it for you. ”

After speaking, Zhu Fei respectfully stepped back and asked Elder Chen to step forward: "Disciples, hello everyone. Let me start by thanking you. ”

Hearing Elder Chen's words, the square instantly boiled, when did the elder of the sect say such a thing to himself, he had never heard of this kind of thing at all, let alone happened to him. The people in the square were talking about something. Wang Chen looked more calm, what's the matter, on the earth, which country's big man hasn't said such a thing, it's just a matter of winning people's hearts, what's the big deal. But the stone woke Wang Chen.

In this world, the strong are all arrogant, and it is impossible for a strong person to say such things to his own disciples, but this Elder Chen is able to do this. This has to be said that Elder Chen's outstanding thinking can be described as advanced.

Only by making the disciples at the bottom feel that the sect cares deeply about them can they have a sense of belonging to the sect. The entire sect can be stronger. If it is like a plate of loose sand, even if there are many geniuses, then this sect has no future at all. If the elders of the entire sect were like Elder Chen, then the Ethereal Palace would not be strong.

"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet. Elder Chen pressed down with both hands, "You are all disciples of the sect, no matter the outer or inner door, as long as you have made contributions to the sect. The sect will never forget you. In the outer gate, you work all day long, and your contribution to the sect is not insignificant. Therefore, this time, the sect decided to no longer limit the number of places for the outer gate to enter the inner gate, as long as they have the ability. The inner door is waiting for you right there!"

After listening to Elder Chen's words, a round of warm applause erupted in the square. Everyone is so happy, in the previous selection, only ten people from the outer gate were able to enter the inner door. This is a bit too small compared to the thousands of disciples in the outer sect.

But this time is different, the sect no longer limits the number of places, which makes most people feel fanatical. But Wang Chen felt that they were happy too soon. There are so many resources in the sect, how can they come up with extra resources to cultivate people who are not necessary to cultivate in their eyes.

There are only three possibilities for this, one is that the sect has recently expanded, has received a lot of resources, and has more ability to cultivate more people. The second is that the sect has encountered some major events recently, and it must do its best to train disciples to improve their strength. But there has been no movement in the sect recently, so it can only be the third situation - the trial of the sect this time is extraordinary.

Sure enough, Elder Chen continued, "I know everyone is very excited, but I have to explain to you in advance that this selection is the most difficult in history, everyone must be mentally prepared, to be honest, so far, I only know the content of the first level of the test. This trial is absolutely confidential, except for the sect master and the Supreme Elder, no one knows the complete test, and the test has a total of three levels. Everyone, please come with me!"

Hearing Elder Chen's words, although the outer disciples felt a little frustrated for a while, but then they raised their fighting spirits, this was the best opportunity. If you don't fight, you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life. Following Elder Chen to a forest, Elder Chen stopped, it seemed that this was the place where the first layer of selection would be held today.

"Today, your mission is to snipe at the people who are about to come to participate in the sect's selection. The rules are: each of you will be dealt a black jade badge later, they are white jade badges, and each of you needs to snatch their three tokens to advance to the next round of selection. However, if you lose your token, you will not only lose your qualification for the test, but also lose your status as an outer disciple.

Once you fail, the sect will help you arrange a sect's property to ensure that you have no worries about your life. Of course, you can also opt out, so you have to be careful. Elder Chen said seriously.

"Now you can ambush them first, this is one of your great advantages, take advantage of it. Oh yes. Once everyone has snatched three tokens, don't continue to snatch them, as they will only be able to enter the outer door once they are snatched.

I know there are a few great people among you, and it won't be fun if you all have to go through the endless scrambling and none of you make it to the second test, haha. The atmosphere was not broken by Elder Chen's cold jokes, he coughed embarrassedly twice, "Okay, what should be explained has been explained, let's go! In addition, it is strictly forbidden to kill people, once discovered, executed on the spot!"

......

Sure enough, this selection is not so simple, from the bright side, the sect does give many opportunities to the outer disciples. However, it should be noted that most of the outer disciples are people who do not have much talent. They are basically disciples who are eliminated every time, and they don't have many qualifications. And this selection is different from the past, it seems that the sect has made a big move this time. Thousands of people were dispatched to encircle and suppress the new disciples, and the quality and quantity of the new disciples this time must be different from the past.

But Wang Chen didn't dig deeper, he just waited for the new disciple to enter the forest. Wang Chen didn't choose a hidden place, nor did he find someone to form an alliance. The people around him quickly gathered together, some three or five people, some dozen people, and even hundreds of people. The largest number of people seem to be the Loose Gang.

Originally, Zhao Hao didn't want to participate in this selection, but this opportunity was rare, and Zhao Hao decided to fight again. Because he is the leader of the Xiaoyao Gang, there are many people under him, but he has more opportunities with low strength. He also wanted to win over Wang Chen to act together, but Wang Chen refused.

In Wang Chen's opinion, it is more convenient to act alone, and the group will inevitably have disputes due to the distribution of tokens in the end, and Wang Chen, who does not want to cause trouble, decided to act alone.

Wang Chen didn't wait long, and soon there was a sound of footsteps in front of him. Wang Chen, who was hiding in the tree, saw the people under the tree and thought, my God, this is too much. There were a lot of people under the tree, and Wang Chen didn't dare to take a breath in the air, for fear that they would hear it and expose his position. Is this the entrance to the selection? They haven't had time to part?

Obviously, Wang Chen is so unlucky. Wang Chen had only been in the Ethereal Palace for three months, and he had been practicing penance in the hut for more than three months, leaving the sect at all. Except for Zhao Hao, he didn't communicate with the original senior brother, nor did he communicate with anyone, so Wang Chen didn't know the distribution of the terrain here.

However, Wang Chen, who was alone, chose such an ambush point very tragically. About 200 disciples who participated in the selection were gathered here, as if deliberating on the situation of the group. Wang Chen hid in the tree and listened cautiously.

In the midst of the crowd, a young man dressed in black stood up, looking quite prestigious. After calming the crowd, he shouted to the people around him: "It is said that there are thousands of people blocking us this time, more than five times the number of us. It's too difficult to break out of their hands, let alone snatch their tokens, and while we just need to keep our tokens, the Elder has said that a black token can be exchanged for points later. I don't need to say more about the usefulness of sect points. ”

The young man in black paused for a moment and continued: "So this time we not only have to pass the level, but also snatch their tokens, let them know that we newcomers are not easy to mess with, do you have confidence!"

"Yes!" erupted in a warm cheer from the crowd, all of whom were young and vigorous young men and girls, and no one was willing to back down. At this time, someone stood up, and the blood was ignited instantly.

"Liang Shao, just say what to do!"

"yes, yes, you can arrange it......"

The voices in the crowd came and went, and it seemed that this so-called Liang Shao was quite famous among these people.

"Alright, alright, everyone be quiet, everyone be quiet, listen to me. Liang Shao hurriedly controlled the crowd.

"It's impossible for us to set out together, and once they find out what we're trying to do, we'll have no chance of winning when they're all around. So I propose that we divide into ten groups, each led by ten people from the Spirit Period, and try to break out of the encirclement when they don't react, and grab the small team by the way. Liang Shao proposed, "The other members of the group, please don't fight each other, if you are not satisfied with the distribution results in the end, you can come to me, I will definitely make you satisfied, please supervise each other." ”

And what they didn't know was that their plans were all heard clearly by Wang Chen on the tree.
