Today was the 20th day that Yan Lingyu had left the Scorpion King's lair, and he had originally planned to go back as soon as possible, but after hearing that Han Ningwei's cultivation had reached the fifth layer of the Gathering God Realm, he decided on the spot to upgrade to one level in the desert before going out.

Han Ningwei didn't have any objections to his idea, she even jumped three levels to enter the fifth layer of the Gathering God Realm, and it would take some time to get used to the skyrocketing strength.

"Whew~, it's the third layer, and it's really tiring to cultivate. ”

"What kind of freak are you, you have improved to a level of realm in less than a month, and if you continue to cultivate at this rate, you will become refined sooner or later. Han Ningwei joked.

"It's impossible to become a spirit, I will only become a god. Yan Lingyu said.

"There was once an author who said something like that, do you know what happened to him now? ”

Yan Lingyu shook her head: "I don't know." ”

"His dream has come true, he has become a god, but he is only a god of the streets, and his grave grass is three feet high. ”

Yan Lingyu: "......"

"Okay, let's not talk about this, since you broke through, then let's make a move. ”

"However, you are two levels higher than me, and you also have the Earth Sand True Flame Protector, so I won't fight you. ”

"Come on, I won't do my best, besides, you are a genius, it is not very acceptable for me to cross the two realms, and the true flame of the earth sand is not of much use in front of you, and the flame can't stop your sword. ”

Hearing this, Yan Lingyu fell into thought, and after a while, he stood up: "Okay, that genius will have a battle with you, the white-haired female devil, to see who is the number one in the world." ”

As he spoke, he took out the Sky Killing Sword, and Han Ningwei also showed the Zhiyue Sword.

"Sword Twenty-Two"

There was no temptation, Yan Lingyu made a big move as soon as she made a move, and more than 20 sword shadows swept towards Han Ningwei.

Han Ningwei hurriedly pulled out her long knife and waved her hand to meet it: "The phoenix is all over the world." ”

"Huh", a phoenix bathed in golden flames rushed towards the sword shadow.

Boom, Sword Shadow and Phoenix collided together, and the two of them took a few steps backwards at the same time.

Han Ningwei was secretly shocked in her heart, Yan Lingyu was two levels lower than herself, but the power of her sword moves was not inferior to herself.

Yan Lingyu grabbed it out of thin air, and the sword shadow that was scattered by the phoenix gathered again: "Broken Mountain." ”

More than twenty sword shadows were superimposed under his control, and a large sky-killing sword appeared.

"Go. ”

Yan Lingyu stretched out her hand towards Han Ningwei, and the large sky-killing sword flew out with a swish.

Seeing the big sword coming towards her, Han Ningwei put the Zhiyue knife in front of her, she held the knife in one hand and put it on the back of the knife with the other, the golden flames enveloped her whole body, and after a moment, she slashed forward: "The mad knife has broken wings." ”

"Poof", a huge red sword shadow appeared out of thin air, and the sword shadow slashed straight down and collided with the big sword.

Boom, the spiritual power raged from the impact, and bursts of yellow sand continued to rise.

Yan Lingyu's body regressed crazily, his large Heaven Killing Sword was defeated, and more than twenty sword shadows were gone, leaving only the Heaven Killing Sword body still floating in the air.

Han Ningwei used Tianyu to take invisible steps to chase after her, Yan Lingyu's gesture changed and the Heaven Killing Sword re-divided more than twenty sword shadows, but this time it was not twenty-two, but twenty-six.

After entering the third layer of the Gathering God Realm, Yan Lingyu was able to control four more sword shadows.

Han Ningwei advanced while resisting the sword shadow's attack, while Yan Lingyu kept retreating.

"Thorn", Yan Lingyu made a sword with her finger and pointed at Han Ningwei, and more than 20 sword shadows swooped over.

"Broken Spirit Slash", Han Ningwei Jiao screamed and slashed continuously, and the clanging metal collision sounded continuously.

After a while, Yan Lingyu put away the sword shadow, and Han Ningwei also stopped slashing.

"Your combat power is not as strong as I thought, is it because I am too powerful?" Yan Lingyu said.

Han Ningwei smiled faintly: "What you said this time is right, it is indeed that you are too powerful, your sword moves are very powerful, and they have far exceeded your current realm." ”

"Actually, you're quite strong, I feel that your state is a little strange, as if you are getting stronger and stronger? When you finally stopped, your momentum was stronger than at the beginning...... About 20%. ”

"You just found out, that's the special ability brought by my physique, simply put, the stronger I fight. ”

"Is it getting stronger the more you fight, how does it feel a little strange that such a physique appears in a girl like you. ”

"What's weird. ”

"Well~, it's not strange, this kind of physique is exclusive to fierce men in my impression, and it's a little uncomfortable to suddenly appear on a beautiful woman. ”

"If you don't adapt, adapt as soon as possible, let's go, it's not too early, it's time to go back." ”

"It's been a few days since we've been in, has it been a month? Yan Lingyu asked.

"Probably not, we entered the desert on the 11th, today on August 4th. Han Ningwei said.

"The 11th entered the desert, and today is the 4th, that is... 24 days, 24 days, it's been a long time. ”

"It's been a long time, and I don't know what happened to Uncle Guan. ”

"After I go back, I'll give you a certification of a nine-grade refiner, look at the time Yunhuang Academy should also be coming to recruit students, you have the identity of a refiner, and you will definitely be able to be assigned to a key class when you enter the school." ”

"Key class? Han Ningwei wondered.

In her impression, there is no distinction between key classes and ordinary classes in institutions of higher learning.

"Well, I don't know about this, but even if there is no key class, you should be able to choose a tutor, you can choose as many good tutors as you are, and the school's resources will definitely give priority to top students. ”

"Didn't you go to school, how do you know so much?"

"I checked on the Internet, many schools are like this, excellent students can give back a lot of things to the school after graduation, so the school will give priority to cultivating students with good qualifications. ”

"Survival of the fittest is a natural law, and there is nothing wrong with schools doing this. Han Ningwei nodded.

"Well, so we have to be good people and not be eliminated by cruel laws. ”

The two walked side by side towards the desert, it had been almost a month since they came in, and it was time to go back.

Tongjin City Alchemist Guild, Guan Shifeng came to Zhang Mao's office again.

"President, have you still not found them?"

Zhang Mao shook his head: "I inquired all the way along the southeast direction, and the Tongjin Corridor is almost one-fifth of the way through, but I still haven't found any news about them." ”

"Hey, this kid, where did you take Ning Wei, he died when he died, but don't bother Ning Wei, such a good seedling, what if something happens in the desert. ”

Looking at Guan Shifeng's anxious appearance, Zhang Mao was also very helpless, he had been looking for several days, but he had not found any useful news at all.

"That's it, you go back to rest first, and tomorrow I'll ask Xu Jian to take some more people into the desert to find it." ”

After speaking, Zhang Mao sat at his desk and began to review the documents, and at this moment, the communicator on his desk rang.

Zhang Mao stretched out his hand to activate the communicator: "What's wrong, Xiaoru." ”

"President, there are two people who said that they want to assess the refiners, do you think they will be assessed now?"

"Assess the refiner? ”

"Nine Grades Beginner. ”

"Don't call me at the beginning of the ninth grade, I don't have time, let Chen Jin give them an assessment." ”

"Deacon Chen and Deacon Liu went out in the morning, and they haven't come back yet, and Vice President Nie is not here, so I called you, so do you want them to go back first?"

"Chen Jin hasn't come back yet, then let them go back first. ”

"Okay, these two said they lived in our guild, but I haven't seen them, so they should be deliberately relationship-making. ”

"Huh?" Originally, Zhang Mao was about to hang up the communication, but when he heard this, he frowned: "Xiaoru, what did you just say, those two people live in our guild?"

"They said it, but I've never seen these two people, I think it's almost nonsense, I'll let them go back. ”

"Wait, what those two people look like, you can describe it to me. ”

The words of those two men...... A man and a woman, both of whom look young, the man is not tall and has short hair, and the girl is tall and good-looking, with long silver hair. ”

Listening to the voice from the communicator, Guan Shifeng and Zhang Mao's faces changed greatly.

"Xiaoru, are those two people still there? Zhang Mao asked anxiously.

"They're still there, they're sitting in the hall. ”

"Okay, don't let them go, I'll be right here. ”

After hanging up the communication, Zhang Mao hurriedly stood up, but before he could speak, Guan Shifeng asked, "President, what's the situation, is it Ning Wei and they are back?"

"It should be, but the specific situation will not be known until it passes, let's go, let's go and see together." ”

The two of them went downstairs as fast as they could, and then rushed straight to the exam building.

"Wait a minute, our president says he'll be coming soon. Xiao Ru handed over two cups of tea and said.

Yan Lingyu stretched out her hand to take the tea: "I know your president, we are all old acquaintances, and the relationship is very good." ”

Han Ningwei sat next to her with a black line, you have only met people once, how come you have become an old acquaintance, and the relationship is good, where is it good, why didn't I see it.

"Mm-hmm, our president will be here soon, you wait a minute. Xiaoru smiled.

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Mao and Guan Shifeng rushed in.

"It will grow well. Xiao Ru bowed and greeted.

"Uncle Guan, why are you here? Yan Lingyu and Han Ningwei stood up together.

"Oh, Ning Wei, you're back, I've been dying in a hurry for the past few days, how about it, you're not hurt, right?"

Han Ningwei showed an apologetic smile: "Uncle Guan is worried, he is not injured." ”

"You have been out for more than 20 days, and I am in a hurry, and the president has personally gone to the desert several times to look for you, for fear that you will encounter any danger, just come back, just come back. ”

Listening to Guan Shifeng's words, Yan Lingyu was extremely speechless, what do you mean "You have been out for more than 20 days", I didn't go out together? She will be in danger, I won't be in danger? Eccentricity doesn't need to be so obvious.

"After finding the Tinder, we spent some time in the desert, so we came back late. Han Ningwei said.

"Where did you train, I have been looking along the Tongjin corridor for many days, but I haven't even seen your shadow, and the people along the road say that they haven't seen you. Zhang Mao said.

"We didn't go to the Tongjin Corridor, and after entering the desert we headed due north. Han Ningwei said.

Hearing this, Zhang Mao nodded: "No wonder, the direction is wrong, it's strange to find it." ”

"What are you doing in the north, it's very dangerous in the desert, it's safer near the Tongjin Corridor, just go around there with experience, don't run around, didn't Yan Lingyu, this stinky boy took you there." ”

"Eh?" Yan Lingyu was stunned when she heard this, what the hell, there is no good thing for me, if you have a pot, you will immediately carry it for me?

Han Ningwei smiled: "No, I was going to go by myself, and he advised me not to go." ”

"Hmph, you know that you are protecting this kid, I can tell at a glance that he took you there. ”

Yan Lingyu pursed her lips, you said yes, it's too lazy to bother with you old man.

Looking at Yan Lingyu's demeanor, Han Ningwei couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, it's good to come back safely, Ning Wei, it's you who want to assess the refiner, right? Zhang Mao said.

Han Ningwei nodded: "Well, I'll assess the Ninth Rank Beginner Refiner." ”

"Okay, then you come with me. ”

Several people followed Zhang Mao to the second floor of the building, where there were many independent seats, in front of which there was a mechanical-style table, in addition, there were many large iron stoves on the other side, and various refining materials were placed next to the stoves.

"To assess the refiner, you have to do a round of written test first, the minimum score of the written test is 70 points, and after the written test is completed, you have to refine another nine-grade spirit treasure, the type of spirit treasure is not limited, you have a maximum of three chances to try. Zhang Mao said.

The process of assessing refiners or alchemists is basically the same, they all do a round of written tests first, and then refine the corresponding grade of spirit treasure or elixir.

"Well, I know. Han Ningwei's expression was indifferent, and she looked very confident.

In the past 20 days of training in the desert, in addition to fighting monsters, she also learned all kinds of refining knowledge every day, and also did a lot of mock exercises.

Zhang Mao waved his hand, and then a light screen appeared on a small mechanical table: "Go ahead, according to the regulations, you must do the written test part first, if you are worried that you will not pass the written test, you can also refine the spirit treasure first." ”

"Thank you, President Zhang, I should have no problem taking the written test. Han Ningwei said.

With that, she walked towards the seat.

Don't look at this small written test part, there have been many people who have lived in this level, and some elderly refiners are really not good at the written test part, such as Guan Shifeng.

He is good at refining knife spirit treasures, and he is very familiar with the various materials used in knife refining, so it can be said that he has been refining knives all his life, and if you give him a question related to the long whip, then he will not answer very well.

When advancing from the ninth grade to the eighth grade, the written test part is required to reach 80 points or above, and at this time, the test paper also has fill-in-the-blank, short answer and essay questions, Guan Shifeng scored 70 points in the five exams, and finally scored 81 points in the sixth time, and successfully stepped into the ranks of the eight-grade refiners.

There will be no written test part if you are promoted after the eighth grade, as long as you can refine a spirit treasure with enough grades.

Han Ningwei sat in front of the mechanical table and answered the questions carefully, and her face was always displayed in the upper left corner of the light screen, which was a real-time monitoring system to ensure that candidates would not cheat.

Everyone's exam process is recorded and kept, on the one hand, to ensure fairness, and on the other hand, to be well documented.

If the public doubts someone's identity as an alchemist, the alchemist or the Dan Medicine Master Guild will check the exam records to determine if the person is cheating.

This situation often appears in those super geniuses, some people have become refiners (Dan) masters in their teens, and the people will naturally doubt the authenticity of their documents, so they have to review the exam video and give the people an explanation.

Ten minutes later, Han Ningwei finished answering the test paper, she checked it all over the time, and then clicked submit.

"Hum", a message popped up on the light screen in less than half a second.

"Congratulations, your final score for this exam is 100 points, and you have passed the written test. ”
