Chapter 101: The Test Continues
"What Lord He said makes a lot of sense. Young people, talent is destined by heaven, this cannot be changed, even if it is improved through external forces, it is extremely limited. Therefore, sometimes temporary strength is not the criterion for evaluating everything, and the mental nature and the corresponding cultivation speed are the most important things, so I am also very interested in seeing the results of the hard work of the remaining juniors of the Tan family and the Liu family over the years. ”
As soon as Shui Luo spoke, he expressed his meaning, although the meaning was similar to what He Qiufen said, but it caused everyone present to nod in approval. This is the right to speak that comes with strength.
Seeing this, Shui Luo smiled heartily and said, "Young people need our elders to give affirmation and encouragement, if Yonghong wins the Zhengyuan dalu in the future, he will become a great summoning master master." For those who were able to participate in the test with him today, it would be a great fate to talk about this experience in the future, and it would also have a lot of benefits for motivating the cultivation of future generations of the younger generations of the family. ”
"After listening to Shui Lao's words, I really didn't think of such a deep meaning just now?" Tan Yong hurriedly patted his ass, looked at He Qiufen, and said, "Master He's opinion is really superior, so let's continue the test." ”
A smile appeared on his face, and watching everyone return to their seats again, He Qiufen gave the person who reported the number on the stage a look and signaled for the test to start again.
"Tan Dong, Tan Ning, Liu Zaijun, Liu Mei, Liu Wenfeng. ”
Looking through the rest of the test sequence, the person who reported the card slowly read out the five names, and saw the five teenagers and girls walking out in turn, he smiled: "According to the order of the names, enter the heavy pressure element room from one to five respectively and take the test." ”
In fact, when Zuihou heard that the test was going to be canceled, the five teenagers were more or less disappointed. Even though Shui Yonghong and He Meifeng's achievements have topped the audience, everyone has also cultivated since childhood, and the hardships they have paid are not a lot. Despite their limited talents, they also crave the approval and appreciation of their elders.
Therefore, at this time, the test resumed, and several people were holding back their energy, and their faces were full of excitement and walked towards the Heavy Pressure Elemental Chamber.
At this moment, many of the elders in the audience sat down again, but everyone's expressions were no longer as concerned as they were just now, and even some people were whispering to their neighbors from the beginning, and most of the content they talked about was about Xi Meiling, He Meifeng and Shui Yonghong.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the time to react to the heavy pressure elemental room, and after just three minutes, someone walked out with a depressed face, until a teenager in Zuihou walked out, and the time was only six minutes.
In fact, the overall results of these five people are better than the teams in the first two rounds of testing, but now they seem very unremarkable. However, when a few people stepped off the stage, under the leadership of Shui Luo, everyone still gave warm applause, and the praise from time to time was also a kind of comfort, but compared with the beginning, the atmosphere was generally much colder.
"Yes, this year, the Tan family and the juniors of the Liu family are estimated to be the most outstanding in the past hundred years, it seems that if it weren't for the fact that the Water Chamber of Commerce and the Tuyi Chamber of Commerce did not bring talents from the headquarters respectively, if it was a real competition, I am afraid that the Zhao family and the Pan family would definitely fall into the next success.
After speaking, Shui Luo's gaze inadvertently turned to Zhang Hao in the corner, and dealt with Tan Yong and Liu Qian next to him a few words, and then he spoke: "Let's continue the test." ”
Following Shui Luo's gaze, Tan Yong's face instantly became unnatural, and when he saw Zhang Hao getting up and walking towards the stage, he secretly sighed in his heart, if it wasn't for Shui Luo's deliberate damage to Zhang Hao before, he and Liu Qian would not have been so arrogant and rude two days ago.
"Zuihou is a test person, from the Zhang family of the Tianshui Empire. Shui Luo got up and laughed.
"Zhang's family?" The old god on the side, who was sitting upright, immediately gasped for cold air, and said with a face full of disbelief: "Shui Lao, which Zhang family are you talking about?"
Feeling the horror on the faces of the people around him, Shui Luo waved his hand, and his tone was full of flatness: "Which other Zhang family is there, the head of the four major families of the Tianshui Empire." ”
When such an answer came out, except for a very few people, everyone present was completely discolored. An ancient family that has been inherited for thousands of years, with such a strong heritage, even just thinking about it makes people feel a little suffocated. The students who graduated from the four major academies of the Tianshui Empire all racked their brains to enter the four major families to serve, and among them, the Zhang family had the highest prestige!
A child who can come out of such a family, even if it is just an ordinary family business operator, does not dare to be underestimated by anyone. There is a mercenary hall opened by the Zhang family in the capital of the country, and the person in charge of it must be polite even if the king sees it. From this, it can be seen that the powerful influence and deterrent power produced by a super family,
Feeling everyone's uncertain expressions, Shui Yonghong's face sank, and he got up and sneered: "You don't have to be too surprised. It's just an abandoned son of a family who left the family since he was a child and grew up in the countryside near Xihe City!"
"Innate Divine Soul and Meridian Waste?"
Shui Yonghong's words came out, and an old man in a red robe almost blurted out, and then he felt that something was wrong, and said, "Is it a junior who was expelled from the family by the Zhang family?"
When these words fell, the expressions of the people in the audience changed suddenly. There are regrets, there are gaps, and there are indifferent. Of course, more people recovered from the shock just now, and there was a faint hint of playfulness in their expressions.
For the things that were high up in the past, they need to look up, and even if they can't touch with all their efforts, when one day they are found to be like garbage, they are discarded in dirty places. Then nobility will cease to exist, and all that remains is cold-eyed and indifferent. This is a kind of inertial psychology that people at the bottom often produce when they see those high-level people lose their souls. It has nothing to do with identity, but Zhengyuan Dalu has been inherited for tens of thousands of years, and the contradictions and squeezes formed between different classes have gradually evolved into a trend.
Living on the summoner shijie, there will never be less flattering people around you, and there will be no shortage of people who are weaker than you who are desperate to be bullied by you, even so, these people feel that it is an honor. As a weak person, in addition to struggling with life and being a human being with his tail between his legs, there is only one power, and that is to choose whether to live or end life. Glory and status, for them, are like flowers and moons, and they have no chance in this life.
"Yonghong!
didn't expect Shui Yonghong to say these words in public, Shui Luo's face turned cold. Seeing the change in everyone's faces, he hurriedly explained: "Although Zhang Hao said that he left the family since he was a child and did not open his soul, the seniors in the clan still took care of him. Two days ago, he defeated the gatekeeper with one punch. Don't underestimate him!"
When the words fell, many people's faces suddenly became exciting. From the shock at the beginning to the drama, and then to the surprise now. made everyone's gaze at Zhang Hao complicated. However, hearing that the other party had not opened the divine soul, many people were a little skeptical of Shui Luo's words just now.
"Zuihou tester, Zhang Hao!"
Hearing the newspaper clerk call out his name, a sneer appeared on Zhang Hao's face, and he didn't want to explain Shui Yonghong's public ridicule. Because strength is the most powerful word that proves everything.
"Zhang Hao, don't go, those people are waiting to see your jokes. Seeing Zhang Hao get up without hesitation, He Meifeng stood up, she had been in retreat and cultivation for the past two days, but she hadn't heard He Qiufen mention Zhang Hao before this. At this time, glancing at the people under the test bench, she couldn't help but persuade her, after all, it was because of her that Zhang Hao offended Shui Yonghong.
"Don't worry, my brother's ability, the fat brother knows it in his heart. I want to see a joke now, just like Shui Yonghong's grandson, as for who is laughing, I really can't say now!" The fat man pursed his lips indifferently, not paying attention to the people under the side of the stage at all, and said with a strong playfulness in his tone.
Smiling at He Meifeng, Zhang Hao knew that the other party's persuasion was also a kind intention, and said: "It's okay, what the fat brother said is right, who laughs at zuihou is not necessarily, some people have to slap him hard before he will recognize himself." ”
Seeing that Zhang Hao finished speaking, he got up and walked towards the hall with an indifferent face, and He Meifeng's eyes couldn't help flashing a touch of strangeness. After glancing at Yi Meiling next to her, she turned her gaze to the slightly thin but upright back again, and a strange emotion couldn't help but appear in her heart. There was even a moment when she felt that Zhang Hao might not be what he seemed on the surface, just a simple country boy.
"You are Zhang Hao?"
The tester glanced at Zhang Hao. Which of the juniors who came to participate in the test today was not dressed luxuriously? Even if they were plainly dressed, they were definitely made of wounded materials. And at this moment, the young man standing in front of him was standing still in the audience, and the clothes he was wearing were definitely that kind of coarse cloth weaving. It seemed a little out of place with everyone present. Coupled with the constant suspicions coming from the audience, the tester's tone also brought doubts.
"I'm Zhang Hao!"
Feeling that all kinds of eyes were constantly coming from the surroundings, which more or less implied to be lively, Zhang Hao smiled slightly, and didn't care, and said in a loud voice.
"I didn't expect that the junior of the Zhang family would not participate in the entrance to the clan election, but today he actually came to Xihe City to participate in the recommendation test?
If it is said that there are still many people who are interested in it just now, but with Zhang Hao on the test bench, after the head of the Huang family of the Xihecheng family looked up and down, there was some indifference in his heart. After all, it is not uncommon for a young man of this age to be expelled from the family, and it is not uncommon for him to use the name of the family to swagger everywhere, and there is no one junior of the Cheng family who has been expelled from the country who often acts like this?
"It's rare to see in a hundred years, and it's rare to see in a thousand years, if you can't even pass the first item of the test, then you really have to give the Zhang family a face!"
"If you are expelled from the family, how can you still claim to be a member of the Zhang family? Don't say that we don't recognize it, I'm afraid that even the Zhang family won't recognize such an outsider, right?"
"This is not necessarily! People can't say that they are juniors who have been arranged outside the clan since childhood, and now they dare to participate in this heavy pressure element is the test, no matter what, at least it shows that people still have self-confidence......
......
Hearing the faint sound of unscrupulous ridicule around them, Tan Yong and Liu Qian didn't say much, just looked at each other and smiled bitterly. As early as two days ago, when they saw Zhang Hao's appearance, didn't they have the same mentality, but at that time, they were slapped by the former.
Seeing Zhang Hao's face remain indifferent and walk towards the Heavy Pressure Elemental Room, Xi Zhi's brows furrowed slightly. Because since he saw this young man today, he felt that the other party was somewhat familiar, but his memory was a little vague, and he couldn't remember it for a while.
Seeing Zhang Hao gradually approaching the Heavy Pressure Elemental Chamber, He Qiufen's hands hidden in his sleeves clenched more and more. Because she expects Zhang Hao's performance more than anyone else, the stronger the other party, the more sure her Jihua will be.
Walking to the No. 1 Heavy Pressure Element Room, Zhang Hao handed the identity card in his hand to the tester and said, "You can start." ”
After confirming the identity card, the accompaniment nodded lightly and shouted loudly to the audience: "I have been tested for five rounds, and the strength in my body can support up to eight minutes, which is no longer enough to support the test limit. ”
Although this was the test rule, the words of the chaperones caused a burst of laughter in the audience. Because as a test companion, he carries a jade plate that can resonate with the heavy pressure elemental room, and in the elemental room, he can use his strength to counteract the pressure of the tester in it.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Hao's eyes also flashed with a hint of playful abuse. He also wanted to see what would happen to the expressions of the group when the test results came out.
"That's right. Shui Luo's face remained calm and responded.
"It's time to go in!"
Pressed on a button on the outer edge of the door of the heavy pressure element room, as the door slowly opened, the chaperone said with a glance.
Hearing this, Zhang Hao walked towards the door calmly, feeling the squeezing force coming from the door, the corners of his mouth curled up a little, and he immediately stepped out, just like entering an ordinary room, and walked in directly, without moving at all.
Looking at the emaciated figure without even a trace of trembling, he entered the Heavy Pressure Elemental Room, and the laughter in the audience stopped abruptly. Different from the noisy scene just now, the venue suddenly became quiet, and the expressions on the faces of many people froze on the spot......
