After years of development, the Wind Thunder Martial Arts Hall is no longer the small courtyard it used to be. The overall layout of the current Wind Thunder Martial Arts Hall is "four entrances and three spans".

The owner of the hall, Song Shi and his three apprentices, lived in the main courtyard, and the new disciples they accepted lived in the West Cross Courtyard. The East Cross Courtyard was converted into a garden, with lakes, rockeries, pavilions, etc., which were generally used for recreation and the teaching of new disciples.

The Wind Thunder Martial Arts Pavilion generally accepts a batch of new disciples every ten years, and only twenty-eight. The teaching content is from the Spirit Yuan Realm to the Spirit Infant Realm, and there are very few disciples from the Spirit Beginning Realm.

In order to let Lin Man'er enter the Wind Thunder Martial Arts Hall to study, Xuemei deliberately got acquainted with Song Shi's second disciple Yu Youcheng. Of course, it should be noted that Xuemei has only had a relationship with Liao Jie since she took over Minghe Tower. She's not the kind of woman who breaks a jar and breaks it.

Yu Youcheng also asked her about Lin Man'er's situation. Interestingly, Xuemei actually said that Lin Man'er was her illegitimate child, and asked Yu Youcheng to keep it secret for her. The reason why it is said to be an illegitimate child is also a helpless move.

Just imagine, if there is no kinship, who would be kind enough to work hard for someone else. She had also thought about her nephew, the son of the deceased, and so on. But then I felt that if I said this, I would inevitably be asked, and it would be better to have an illegitimate child.

Having said that, Xuemei took Lin Man'er to see Yu Youcheng. After passing through the people's courtesy, he led them to the east wing. It was the first time for Lin Man'er to enter such a large courtyard, and it was inevitable that she would be curious when she was in the verandah. Xuemei's eyes stopped, signaling him not to look around.

Soon, Lin Man'er saw Yu Youcheng. Looking at it, he was about forty or fifty years old. He was shorter and wore a large yellow robe embroidered with a flame pattern.

After the two sides met, Yu Youcheng glanced at Lin Man'er, not believing that he was already in the Lingyuan Realm. However, because of Xuemei's face, she didn't say it explicitly.

After Xuemei took her seat, Yu Youcheng said with a worried face: "Our martial arts hall accepts disciples, and the conditions are very strict. ”

Xuemei smiled slightly and replied, "Please rest assured, I promise that the tuition fee should be paid is not a lot." ”

Yu Youcheng shook his head and said, "You misunderstood what I meant." What I want to say is, is this kid really the Lingyuan Realm? ”

Xuemei looked at Lin Man'er and motioned for him to show his hand. Lin Man'er comprehended it and began to absorb aura. Maybe it's because I want to show it too much, but I absorb too much, and the grooming is not good, but I make jokes.

Yu Youcheng shook his head again and commented: "The speed of absorption is not bad, but the way it works... Somewhat rusty. ”

Lin Man'er listened to the comments and said embarrassedly: "I haven't learned how to operate." I used to suck less, but it was good to feel it. ”

Yu Youcheng was a little puzzled by these words, looked at Xuemei, and asked, "You didn't teach him to run the aura?" ”

"I was worried that my way would affect him, so I didn't teach."

When Yu Youcheng heard this, he suddenly stood up, stared at Lin Man'er and asked, "How many veins are you Lingyuan now?" ”

Xuemei replied for Lin Man'er: "He's just a vein now. ”

Hearing this, Yu Youcheng walked around Lin Man'er, and said in his mouth: "It's really good to have such a speed in just one vein!" He returned to his seat, picked up a cup of tea, and asked, "How old are you now?" ”

"Fifteen!" Lin Man'er replied.

only heard a snap, and the teacup rolled off Yu Youcheng's legs. However, Yu Youcheng did not wipe it, but stared at Lin Man'er and said excitedly: "I took it!" ”

Xuemei smiled in her heart, this scene had already played out in her mind.

——————————

After Xuemei left, Yu Youcheng personally took Lin Man'er to the West Cross Courtyard. During this period, he kept fooling Lin Man'er, saying how powerful he was, especially when it was difficult to meet an opponent with a flame palm.

Lin Man'er is not a fool, play her role well. I saw that his eyes were sincere, and he exuded admiration all the time.

After arriving at the West Cross Courtyard, Yu Youcheng specially told the Supervisor Feng of the Cross Courtyard to treat his disciple well. Steward Feng is very old, more than a hundred years old. He was the disciple of the first class, that is, he was taught by the hall owner Song Shi himself.

In the first session, Song Shi accepted four disciples. Steward Feng is one of them, but he has limited qualifications and cannot become a teacher.

Generally speaking, in his case, he would be asked to leave after a certain number of years. However, Song Shi felt that he was tactful and kind to people, so he left him as a steward, mainly responsible for the daily life of the new disciples.

Steward Feng has long been surprised by this kind of special need to take care of things. His principle has always been that he agrees on the surface and actually follows the rules.

There are many rooms in the west courtyard, and it is not a standard courtyard building. Because there are many people who come to study in the Wind Thunder Martial Arts Pavilion, it is impossible to have one room per person. Only after passing the assessment and becoming a formal disciple can you have your own room. At that time, the unsuccessful disciples will also leave.

Lin Man'er came late, and there was no bed for him. Steward Feng did not let him sleep on the streets, but took him back to his house. Lin Man'er thought that this was the so-called special care, but who knew that there were other people in Steward Feng's room.

Steward Feng told them: "There will be an assessment tomorrow, and a large number of people will leave at that time." Tonight, you're going to do it first! ”

——————————

On the second day, all candidates will be assessed in the garden of the East Cross Courtyard. The assessment method is to build two platforms. The first table was filled with all kinds of weapons; The second has six stones of different colors.

The former is to test the qualifications of newcomers in combat cultivation, and the latter is to test the qualifications of Fa cultivation. The Wind Thunder Martial Arts Hall also mainly teaches these two types.

The rules of the test battle cultivation are to fight against the teachings. If you can catch three moves, you are qualified; Seven strokes are excellent, and they are directly selected; Ten tricks will not only be selected, but will also be rewarded.

There were about 80 people who participated in this year's session. According to the rules, it is better to have less than to have more. In other words, it is a number of assessments until twenty-eight are left.

The order of entry is in the order of registration. The first to take the stage was a young man with a sword. The teacher was Song Shi's eldest disciple, named Zhao Tianhua. Although he majored in swordsmanship, he also dabbled in other weapons, and it was more than enough to teach the Lingyuan Realm.

The boy bowed his hand with a smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was confident that he would pass the assessment. Zhao Tianhua nodded slightly, motioning for him to make a move. The young man rushed towards Zhao Tianhua, five or six steps away, raised his sword, drew his sword, and stabbed directly, all in one go. Lin Man'er saw it in his eyes and felt that this young man was very powerful, at least he couldn't do it now. However, the boy was defeated and didn't even take a move.

Zhao Tianhua didn't even draw his sword, and directly hit the tip of the young man's sword with the scabbard. The blade of the sword in the young man's hand was not bent, and he had already fallen to the ground. At that moment, he felt a powerful force transmitted through the blade of the sword, hitting him in the chest.

The young man got up and said angrily: "You think that cultivation is to pressure me, but I don't accept it." ”

Zhao Tianhua's eyes were cold, and the long sword in his hand was unsheathed. With a sword roar, a strand of the young man's long hair fell to the ground. Obviously, this is the suppression of cultivation.

The boy was ashamed and fled with his head bowed. Seeing this, everyone in the audience estimated in their hearts whether they could survive the three moves. If not, don't go up and be embarrassed.

The second person to play was also a teenager. Interestingly, after he bowed his hand, he stepped down in style. With his abstention, more than a dozen people left the audience, all of them with swords.

Seeing this, Zhao Tianhua asked, "Don't you even have the courage to draw your sword?" ”

In the crowd, one person shouted: "Anyway, it's all losing, so as not to be embarrassed." ”

When Zhao Tianhua heard this, he suddenly became furious. I saw him like a spirit fox, constantly shuttling among the departing crowd. After a while, a sword mark was left on the back of everyone's hand.

Zhao Tianhua said coldly: "You are not worthy of holding a sword. In the future, if I find you using a sword, next time it will not be so simple. ”

Yu Youcheng admonished: "Senior brother, your swordsmanship is superb, and there are only a handful of people in the Lingyuan Realm who can catch your three moves. As for ......" Yu Youcheng had something to say, and after feeling the chill in Zhao Tianhua's eyes, he closed his mouth.

The third place chooses the Dharma Repair Table. All he had to do was to put his hand on the spirit stone and test its spiritual root. There are a total of six spirit stones, which are gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and wind, and the color is white, green, blue, red, yellow, and green.

He first chose the Fire Spirit Measuring Stone, but unfortunately there was no response. Immediately after that, he chose the water system spirit measuring stone. Luckily, he succeeded, and the Water System Spirit Stone emitted a faint glow. Obviously, it's an inferior spirit root.

Yu Youcheng looked at him with a happy look, his heart was displeased, and he said coldly: "Wait!" ”

The fourth is a woman named Song Yao. I saw her wearing a white moonlight dress, jumping up and down when she walked, looking extremely lively. Everyone thought that she would go to the Fa Xiu Tai, but she actually went to the Zhan Xiu Tai.

Lin Man'er's body trembled, as if she thought of an upcoming scene. A girl hides in a corner and cries.

However, to everyone's surprise, Zhao Tianhua let her pass directly. What's even more puzzling is that Song Yao has to shout for a fight to count, and threatens that he can take ten moves.

Zhao Tianhua looked at Song Yao, glanced at Song Shi again, and finally decided to do it. Lin Man'er slowly closed his eyes, he couldn't bear to look at it.

Song Yao also seemed to find that everyone in the audience had no confidence in her, thinking that she was completely asking for her own hardships. However, she took thirteen moves and slapped everyone in the face with her strength. Perhaps it was because this slap was so hard that some people protested, saying that Zhao Tianhua was treated differently.

When Song Yao heard this, her cheeks bulged and shouted, "If you don't accept it, just come up." I'll hit all three of you one by one. ”

As a result, three teenagers came to power, ready to "do justice" and oppose black-box operations. As for the result, it's a bit miserable.

Song Yao got off the battle repair platform and went to the law repair platform. Before leaving, he also said to Zhao Tianhua: "You are too strict, I don't want to learn from you." ”

Zhao Tianhua was not angry, but nodded slightly.

On the Dharma cultivation platform, Song Yao walked directly towards the Wind Spirit Stone. After a while, the Wind Spirit Stone emitted a slight glow. Obviously, it's the second spiritual root. In charge of the wind system is Song Shi's closed disciple, named Feng Lan. At the same time, she is also the only female disciple of Song Shi.

Lin Man'er looked at Fenglan and saw that she was wearing a cyan loose robe, with a typical mixed bun and a cyan hosta. Looking at his appearance, under a pair of swallow eyebrows, a pair of slightly cyan eyes. Small and thin lips, in the sunlight, rosy like cherry blossoms.

Lin Man'er has not seen many women, and the one who has been with him for a long time is Xuemei. Therefore, compare Fenglan with Xuemei. He felt that although Fenglan was dressed very old-fashioned, compared to Xuemei, there was always a feeling of childishness.

On the stage, Feng Lan shook his head and said to Song Yao, "You better go and learn swords!" ”

"I don't want it, I'm going to learn from you." Song Yao insisted.

"Then you wait! But the ugly words are ahead, if you are squeezed out of the place, don't blame me. After Feng Lan finished speaking, he saw Song Yao scanning everyone, his eyes full of disdain.

Lin Man'er couldn't stand this kind of look and took the stage first. The palm of his hand rested on the wind system spirit measuring stone, and it suddenly shone brightly, making it difficult to look at directly. This scene, don't talk about others, even Lin Man'er himself didn't expect it.

Feng Lan jumped to the Dharma cultivation platform in two or three steps, and after confirming that the wind system spirit measuring stone was fine, he looked at Lin Man'er and said happily: "You will follow me in the future." ”

However, Yu Youcheng on the side couldn't sit still, and hurriedly stopped: "No, he was recruited by me, how can I learn from you." ”

Feng Lan shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Second Senior Brother, but he chose me." ”

"That's because I forgot to explain the rules." Yu Youcheng argued.

Feng Lan looked at his excited appearance and said with a smile: "Then it's better to let him try the fire system spirit measuring stone." If the results are not ideal... The second senior brother should not be stopped. ”

"No, I brought the people, so they should be in my charge." Yu Youcheng began to cheat. In fact, he also wondered in his heart why Lin Man'er was the true spiritual root of the wind system.

Feng Lan saw that he was quite unreasonable, so he turned to look at Song Shi directly, and said coquettishly: "Father-in-law, the second senior brother bullied me again." ”

Song Shi listened to this righteous father, and his originally rigid face had a little more love. He looked at Yu Youcheng and ordered, "Just do what Fenglan said!" ”

Feng Lan turned around and stuck out his tongue at Yu Youcheng, although the movement was fast, it was still discovered by Lin Man'er. I thought to myself, this person doesn't seem to be very reliable, and he probably can't learn anything.

Song Yao saw Lin Man'er staying where he was, and reminded: "Don't stand stupidly, go and try the fire system spirit measuring stone." ”

Lin Man'er walked over like a wooden man, with sluggish movements. The palm of his hand rested on the fire spirit measuring stone, and it suddenly shone brightly, making it difficult to look at directly. Obviously, there is no doubt that the fire type true spirit root, plus the wind type true spirit root, it is a yellow-character first-class spirit root.

It should be noted that the Alien Spirit Root is not faster than the True Spirit Root in terms of cultivation speed, it is nothing more than one more option. In terms of spirit roots alone, the fastest should be the super spirit root. Moreover, the super spirit roots are all single-line spirit roots, and they must be the ultimate spirit roots when they are knotted.

Yu Youcheng was overjoyed, looked at Fenglan, and said proudly: "Little junior sister, now the person should belong to me, right?" ”

However, Feng Lan tilted his head sideways and said a little distractedly: "It shouldn't be! Did I guess wrong? ”

Song Yao tugged at Fenglan's sleeve and reminded, "Could it be that there is something wrong with the spirit stone?" ”

When Yu Youcheng heard this, he glanced at the audience and casually ordered the three of them to give it a try. As a result, two are inferior spirit roots and one is a secondary spirit root.

Feng Lan thought of another possibility, she pointed to the water system spirit stone and said, "You try this again." ”

Lin Man'er tried it, but the result was still a true spiritual root, and even Song Shi was moved. The three-line true spirit root, that is the symbol of the first-class spirit root of the Xuanzi.

Feng Lan looked at Lin Man'er, his eyes full of surprise. Although, she had already expected this situation.

The other three external teachers couldn't sit still, and asked Lin Man'er to try the remaining spirit stones.

Lin Man'er did so, but the result was a little terrifying. The six-line true spirit root, in other words, is the second-class alien spirit root of the heavenly character.

The three instructors glanced at each other and hurriedly sent an intention to Lin Man'er to accept apprentices. However, Lin Man'er's mind was in chaos at the moment, and he didn't know how to choose. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Song Shi spoke out to stop it. But how to distribute it still can't be solved.

At this time, Song Yao made a suggestion.
