On the surface of the ochre-colored boulder, a little red light shone quietly. At first, the light was only the size of a firefly, but in the blink of an eye, it covered the entire boulder, even to the point that the boulder could not carry it.

Seeing the flickering light on the test stone, not only the overseer elder standing on the side had a dull face, but everyone in the audience was also stunned.

Everyone in the audience had seen this test at least a thousand times, but for the first time so far, they had seen a stellar-like glow bloom on the test stone.

In fact, not only the audience was stunned, but the overseer also stood still. He had been overseeing testing for decades, but he swore he hadn't seen the test stone shine so brightly since the day he was overseeing elder.

The Overseer's gaze slowly moved upward, resting on the digital display above the boulder. Seeing the huge seven characters that appeared on the surface of the boulder, his heart couldn't help but tremble.

"Ye Feng, Sword Soul ......" the Overseer Elder routinely wanted to announce the results of the test. But when it came to rank, he stopped.

Sword Soul Level 7, how is it possible?The Overseer Elder knew very well that the Sword Soul Level 7 meant that Ye Feng had at least a second-level swordsman strength. Not to mention the environment of the outer courtyard, it is impossible to cultivate a second-level swordsman, and it is rare to see a disciple who has been in the inner courtyard for three years, and who can reach the seventh-level realm of the sword soul.

The overseer suddenly stopped, causing an uproar among the audience. Everyone's eyes were cast on the number above the test stone, and their expressions were wonderful at the same time.

The blood-colored word "seven" was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of everyone present. Almost all of them had a thought in their hearts, the test stone was broken, if it wasn't for the test stone being broken, how could it show the number level seven.

At the edge of the crowd, Lu Fei looked at the numbers on the test stone, and his facial muscles twitched one after another.

He originally thought that his Sword Soul Level 6 realm had already secured the leader of the Outer Courtyard, but now he found that he had overestimated himself. The seventh and sixth levels of the Soul of the Sword, although they are only one level apart, but the difference between them cannot be divided by one level.

If a sixth-level cultivator of Sword Soul and a seventh-level cultivator were to cultivate a sword technique at the same time, the sixth-level cultivator would be able to cultivate the sword technique to the beginning at most, while the seventh-level cultivator would be able to cultivate it to the point of proficiency.

Looking at Ye Feng, whose face was as calm as water, and who hadn't even glanced at the test stone data from beginning to end, Lu Fei gasped several times one after another, and then a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

The reason why he was reluctant to enter the inner courtyard for a long time, in addition to wanting to enter there as a swordsman, was that he wanted to realize his dream and win the first crown in the outer courtyard.

But now, Ye Feng's appearance has become the biggest obstacle for him to win the championship, even if he has a long-cherished wish for many years, he has to fight with Ye Feng.

In the center of the crowd, Lin Huaiyu looked at the test stone in a daze, his eyes full of panic. He had already guessed that Ye Feng's strength was not bad, but he never thought that his strength would reach the realm of a second-level swordsman.

That's a second-level swordsman, even in the inner courtyard, such a person can be ranked in the top three hundred of the master list.

At this moment, Lin Huaiyu's heart also rose with a cold murderous intention. He couldn't let an enemy thrive, even if it was to cause less trouble in the future, he wanted to strangle this enemy with great talent in the cradle.

The long silence in the square attracted the attention of the three elders behind the overseer.

These three elders were the most powerful and respected figures in the outer court. The reason why they came here today was also to see what geniuses could appear in the outer courtyard this year.

Finding that the atmosphere in the square was almost eerily quiet, the three elders couldn't help but be stunned. Great Elder Yu He coughed vigorously a few times, wanting to break the silence.

However, when his voice fell, he was surprised to find that his cough mixed with vitality still failed to wake everyone up.

"What happened?" Yu He wondered in his heart, slowly walking from the back of the test bench to the front of the stage.

His gaze shifted from the overseer elder with a blank expression to the test stone, and Yu He's face froze suddenly.

"Level seven, level seven of the soul of the sword!" Yu He muttered in a low voice, and then suddenly focused his gaze on Ye Feng's body.

"This person who has achieved such cultivation is actually Ye Feng!" For a moment, Yu He's heart was mixed, and he didn't know what to say.

Ye Feng entered the Lishui Sword Sect at the age of eight, which was specially approved by him. Originally, he thought that Ye Feng would definitely be able to become a strange thing that shocked the inner courtyard of the Lishui Sword Sect, but he didn't expect that in the past ten years, Ye Feng's performance was not as good as that of an ordinary disciple.

In fact, Yu He gave up on Ye Feng as early as five years ago. It's just that he didn't expect that it was this person who was abandoned and forgotten by him that shocked him on the spot again.

"It's been ten years. Thinking that he had given up paying attention to Ye Feng in the second year of entering the sect, Yu He's heart was full of feelings.

"Fourth, let's announce the test results. Yu He said in a low voice.

Under Yu He's reminder, the Overseer's body shuddered suddenly, and he recovered from the shock.

He turned around, faced everyone in the audience, and read out loudly: "Ye Feng, the seventh level of the sword soul, the second level swordsman." ”

After the overseer finished reading, there was no cheering from the audience.

It's not that this group of people doesn't want to cheer, it's that they don't know what to do. Thinking of their own attitude towards Ye Feng in the past, the embarrassment of this group of people was as embarrassing as it was and surpassing.

On the high platform, Ye Feng heard the announcement of the supervising elder, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he smiled slightly.

He clenched his fists at the Overseer Elder, bowed slightly, and said, "Elder, excuse me. ”

After saying this, Ye Feng jumped off the high platform. At the moment when his body jumped, not only the eyes of the Overseer Elder lit up, but even the eyes of the Great Elder Yu He also flashed with a bright brilliance.

"Ye Feng not only cultivated the Sword Soul to the seventh level, but also learned a body technique on his own. Yu He said secretly in his heart. With his eyesight, he could see at a glance that Ye Feng's cultivation method was almost above the middle level of the line level, but he really couldn't think of what kind of powerful talent Ye Feng had to be able to be self-taught, and even the line level body method could be cultivated to the point of perfection.

Ye Feng's figure fell into everyone's eyes like a shocking lightning, which shocked everyone present. Although many outer court disciples couldn't see the fame from Ye Feng's figure at all, seeing Ye Feng's incomparable speed, they still knew that it was an extremely rare body technique.

At this moment, a feeling of envy arose in everyone's hearts at the same time. Yes, they are just envious. In the face of their own kind that is so powerful that they cannot surpass them, they can't even be jealous, they can only secretly envy in their hearts.

After Ye Feng stepped down, the test continued. It's just that with Ye Feng, a seventh-level master of the Sword Soul, with his amazing and brilliant performance, the tests of the people behind him no longer have any highlights.

The test continued into the evening, when it finally ended. Until the overseer elder's reading of the test was terminated, the number one master of the outer court, who had been delayed, did not return.

Although the number one master delayed the assessment, everyone knew very well that he would not be punished in any way, let alone kicked out of the sect.

That guy, who was called a monster by countless people, had the strength of a first-level swordsman as early as two years ago, if it weren't for the lax management of the outer courtyard and the fact that he had more free time, I am afraid that he would have entered the inner courtyard long ago.

The onlookers thought of that monster, and thought of Ye Feng, who had just shown super strength, and couldn't help but muttered in their hearts at the same time. They couldn't deduce which was stronger or weaker than that monster. But one thing is for sure, if Ye Feng fights against that monster, it will definitely be very exciting.

After the assessment, it's time for the annual challenge. During this time, anyone can challenge the same door, and the challenged person must also accept the other party's challenge unconditionally.

This kind of challenge is the best time to repay grievances and revenge. Anyone who climbs into the challenge ring will be killed without complaint. Of course, under the supervision of several foreign elders of the Lishui Sword Sect, few people really dared to kill their fellow sects. Over the years, there have only been less than 10 cases of on-the-spot deaths in the challenge.

When the overseer announced the start of the challenge, the audience was in an uproar. In the crowd, a disciple with a fifth-level sword attendant cultivation looked at a fellow disciple in the distance with a cold gaze, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

"Thunder, do you have the courage to fight me on stage?" the man shouted with his sword.

The man named Lei Ming is also a disciple with a fifth-level sword attendant cultivation. Hearing the other party's challenge, he didn't answer, just jumped into the ring.

After standing in the ring, Lei Ming set his eyes on the person who was about to fight, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

He held the long sword, pointed at his opponent, and said in a cold voice: "Pu Yuan, you can let go of me, I promise that even if I die, no one will trouble you." ”

Lei Ming and Pu Yuan's cruel words made everyone in the audience secretly frightened. Some people who are familiar with the two of them feel a chill in their hearts after thinking of the conflict between them that was caused by jealousy a few years ago.

Although the talents of these two people cannot be compared with Lu Fei and Ye Feng, they are also the characters who were selected into the inner courtyard, if the two of them really let go and fight for their lives, maybe someone will really lose their lives.

In the ring, Lei Ming and Pu Yuan put up their hands at the same time. Like many disciples of the outer court, Lei Ming and Pu Yuan practiced basic swordsmanship. However, although the two of them practiced low-level exercises, the swords in their hands were not bad. Ye Feng didn't need to open the Pupil of Hope Qi to be sure that the swords in the hands of the two of them were all top-level murderous swords.

Basic swordsmanship has only a few simple moves, which are nothing more than stabbing, picking, splitting, and cutting. Seeing the two of them coming and going on the stage, the long swords colliding and striking, making a clanging sound, Ye Feng couldn't help but shake his head.

He has also cultivated basic swordsmanship, and in terms of attainments, I am afraid that no one in the entire outer courtyard can compare with him. With his knowledge, he could see at a glance that Lei Ming and the others were too focused on resisting each other's attacks, and instead ignored their own attacks.

If you only use basic swordsmanship to meet the enemy, the best way is to attack and defend, and only by performing an attack like a storm can you make a flaw in an evenly matched opponent and thus injure the opponent.

Seeing that he couldn't learn anything in the ring of life and death, Ye Feng decided to leave here.

However, just as he was carrying the package, turned around, and was about to walk out of the square, Lu Fei appeared in front of him like a ghost.

"Ye Feng. I'm going to challenge you!" Lu Fei said proudly.

When Lu Fei's words fell, not only the surrounding people were stunned, but even the two people who were fighting for life and death in the ring subconsciously stopped attacking and turned their attention to Ye Feng.
