Chapter 90: The Test of Mental Nature
The next day was the day when the preliminary examination of Yunhai College began.
Xue Ning arrived at the trial venue of the first round of the academy as scheduled, and Xiao Chengfeng, as her master, was arranged in the elder's seat, hidden behind the heads and elders.
As soon as he entered, Xue Ning saw a huge trial ground, full of people, and the disciples of all the immortal sects were pressed together, blocking Xue Ning's face.
"It's so lively." Xue Ning couldn't help but sigh.
Her gaze swept twice in the crowd, and sure enough, Shushan stood at the forefront, squeezed in the center by some big sects.
Without Xue Ning present, Li Yan became the leader of the disciples, and everyone looked up to her and followed her.
She stood proudly at the front, with her head held high, full of confident smiles.
"I heard that woman is the strongest person in Shushan now, the eldest lady of the Li clan in Wuling, Li Yan!"
"Li Yan?"
"Isn't that Xue Ning stupid? So now she is the most popular in Shushan."
Hearing that Li Yan was the strongest disciple in Shushan, the disciples of the surrounding sects all looked at her with curiosity and scrutiny in their eyes.
Not far behind Li Yan, Song Liang seemed to feel something, turned around and glanced at the end of the crowd, his eyes swept in front of those scattered cultivators.
At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed over from the crowd and slapped him on the back.
"Brother Song, let's not come here unharmed!" The person behind him was smiling, not Qu Feibai, but who was it.
Seeing this person again, Song Liang's face turned pale, and he didn't dare to expose it in front of his peers, so he pulled the person aside.
"You're alone?" Song Liang asked.
Qu Feibai shook his head and pointed to the Bai Hongzong in the back row of the crowd, "My junior brothers, they are all behind!" Our White Rainbow Sect doesn't have a high status, so we can only squeeze in the back."
"And what are you doing here?" Song Liang asked.
"Come and say hi!" Qu Feibai smiled, and as he spoke, he leaned over and hugged his shoulder, and whispered, "When the trial comes, you have to help me!" Please!"
Song Liang glanced at him, "I'll try my best."
No way, who let him have the handle in the hands of this kid!
The people from the White Mist Mountain Villa and the Qingfeng Sword Sect also walked in one after another, squeezing from the crowd to the front.
Bai Wenxuan and Pei Hong stood at the front, last time Pei Hong lost to Bai Wenxuan, when he saw this person again, he was inevitably angry in his heart, and his expression became more and more arrogant.
Bai Wenxuan didn't think so, shook the fan with a smile, and didn't even look at him.
Later, the Buddhist monks of Songshan also came, and the yellow monk's robes and slippery heads became a beautiful scenery in the crowd.
They all looked calm, their eyes were calm, and they were indifferent, as if they had no quarrel with the world, and they looked different from the other three major sects.
"I didn't expect Songshan to come, it's really rare." Qu Feibai looked at them curiously.
I have the impression that the Songshan faction is very low-key, they practice Buddhism, know the Zen scriptures, and their hearts are like stopping water.
Basically, they don't participate in some competitions in the cultivation realm, but although they are low-key, the people in the cultivation realm never dare to underestimate them.
You must know that although the little masters of Songshan don't kill, it hurts to beat people!
Otherwise, how could Songshan be one of the four major sects?
The position of Yunhai Academy is assigned according to the strength of the sect.
Of course, the four major sects must stand in the most conspicuous position.
The second is the second largest sect after the four major sects, such as: Huashan, Emei, Qingcheng and the like.
Standing in the middle are some powerful sects, such as: Flame Sect, Luoxia Mountain, and Purple Cloud Sect.
At the end are some little-known small sects, such as the Baihong Sect, and some scattered cultivators without doors and sects.
The Shushan disciples didn't pay attention to Xue Ning who was standing at the back.
On the high platform outside the venue, the elders and heads of the sects were all seated, and Lin Ziqing and the other elders did not pay any attention
Xiao Chengfeng, who is a few feet away.
Now everyone's hearts are on the first round of trials that are about to begin.
Xue Ning looked at the group of cultivators in front of him, and quietly made a decision, silently reciting Dandan's name in his heart, wanting to transmit the sound to it.
"Balls? Are you nearby?"
Xue Ning wanted to use the technique of blood contract to wake up Dandan, but strangely, Dandan's voice didn't answer Xue Ning, as if it couldn't hear her voice.
Xue Ning didn't know the bottom in her heart, she didn't know if the woman who stole the balls was among this group.
What if she doesn't come to the first exam?
"Look, the elders of the academy are here!" Someone in front of me exclaimed.
Everyone looked straight ahead in unison.
A bearded old man in a green shirt walked in front of everyone with a solemn face, this person was the deacon elder of Yunhai Academy, Xu Meng, who was at the peak of his cultivation in the Yuan Infant Stage.
Xu Meng only glanced at the large group of monks in front of him, and said slowly, "The first round of the first round of the preliminary examination of Yunhai Academy starts now."
As soon as the words fell, a huge barrier rose into the sky, enveloping the entire trial ground they were standing in front of them, like half a sphere, enveloping them in it.
"What, what is this?"
"Why are you locking us up?"
All the monks in the venue looked confused.
On the stage, the heads and elders of all the sects had serious expressions on their faces, and they were inexplicably nervous.
This preliminary examination is not just a selection, but a secret battle between various sects.
Whoever is a disciple can get a good score in the initial examination will have a light on the face of his sect!
Xue Ning looked at Elder Xu Meng in front of him vigilantly, only to see him take out a cyan jade flute from his sleeve, turn it twice in his hand, and put it to his lips.
Xue Ning's eyes jumped, as if he had guessed what he wanted to do, and immediately sealed his hearing.
But the strange thing is that a mournful flute sound penetrated Xue Ning's eardrums.
How could it be, she obviously sealed her hearing, why could she still hear it.
"Wow! It's so uncomfortable!"
"What's that sound?"
A few scattered cultivators around covered their ears in pain.
Immediately after, Xu Meng's fingering became faster and faster, and the sound of the flute became more and more weird, like some magic sound destroying their eardrums.
"Ah——! Help, don't come near me!" A disciple of the Purple Cloud Sect suddenly drew his sword and slashed at the air in front of him.
"Ah! There are ghosts, there are ghosts! Help!" Another Flame Cult disciple seemed to have seen something terrible, and rushed into the crowd with his head in his hands, hiding in fear.
The expressions of the elders on the stage were solemn, and Liuying couldn't help but speak, "This sound of the flute can confuse people's minds, make people fearful, and destroy people's fighting spirit."
Lin Ziqing nodded, "This first one is a test of the heart. Disciples with poor temperament will be eliminated by Xiao Sheng."
Looking at the chaos in front of him, Xue Ning was extremely surprised, it seemed that these people were all affected by the sound of the flute and lost control.
But why didn't she do anything at all?
Xue Ning couldn't help but wonder.
Could it be because I'm a demon?
Is your physique already better than that of ordinary people?
Not only Xue Ning is fine, Qu Feibai and Song Liang are also fine, to be precise, the two of them hooked their shoulders together, and Song Liang put his hand on Qu Feibai's back to protect his mind.
Qu Feibai glanced sideways at him, "Brother Song, do you want to pretend a little?"
This reminded himself that Song Liang raised his hand to cover his chest, pretended to vomit two mouthfuls of blood, and then sat down and began to breathe.
Qu Feibai also followed his example, his expression was extremely painful, and he sat down to breathe.
On the stage, Xiao Chengfeng was slightly startled when he saw that Xue Ning's expression was clear and unaffected. z.br>
This girl is really different from others.
"Ouch!
Several monks fell to the ground one after another, clutching their stomachs and spitting out mouthfuls of blood.
The disciples of the Songshan sect reacted quickly, immediately meditated cross-legged, closed their eyes, and recited Buddhist scriptures, clearing those strange flute sounds from their minds.
However, the disciples of the other sects did not know how to meditate or chant sutras, so they could only be forced to accept the ravages of the sound of the flute, and one by one they fell to the ground and rolled with their heads in their hands.
Li Yan also blocked her hearing, but she still couldn't resist the sound of the flute, and when she noticed that something was wrong, she immediately said to the balls in the Qiankun bag.
"Protect me!"
Even though it was cheating, she had to do it!
After hearing this, the eggs in the Qiankun bag emitted a golden light, which spread over Li Yan's body, blocking those flute sounds for a moment and protecting Li Yan's mind.
Right at the moment when it uses its power.
Xue Ning seemed to feel something, and the Blood Pact seemed to resonate.
Balls? It's the mana of the ball!
Where is it?
Xue Ning's gaze swept in front of everyone, but Dandan did not appear, its power was fleeting, and it disappeared.
Li Yan regained his senses, and immediately adjusted his luck, sealed his five senses, and stabilized his mind.
The disciples in the field fell one by one, either unconscious or crazy, and less than a third of the monks who could barely resist remained.
There were more than 900 people who came to the roster during the initial examination, and now there are only 100 people left.
Xu Meng saw that it was almost over, so he stopped playing.
For a moment, the sound of the flute stopped, and the suppressed spirit suddenly relaxed, and the monks who had not yet fallen breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Meng shook his head as he looked at the monks who were out of control, and sighed in his heart.
Seeing that the number of people is quite large, it turns out that there are few disciples with good hearts.
He glanced at those who were still awake again, and there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
"The first round of the preliminary examination of Yunhai Academy is over, congratulations!"
Hearing this, Li Yan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned her head and glanced at the people on the field, sure enough, they were all the leaders of the major sects, Bai Wenxuan and Pei Hong both passed the test, and almost all the disciples of Songshan passed.
On the Shushan side, only a few disciples who cultivated in the late stage of the foundation building period survived.
What Li Yan didn't expect was that Xue Ning's friend, Song Liang, was fine, but he vomited a little blood.
This guy is inconspicuous on weekdays, but he is quite powerful at critical moments?
Immediately after, Xu Meng began to read the names of the disciples who were still awake on the field.
"Shushan Li Yan, Song Liang, Lin Hao....... Pass the test."
Hearing this, the Shushan elders on the stage all breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, there were still many disciples in Shushan who stayed.
Yin Yuanzhou heard that Li Yan had passed, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Lin Ziqing, "Yan'er really didn't disappoint us."
Lin Ziqing also smiled slightly, "Senior Brother has accepted a good disciple." After saying that, he turned his head to look at Qi Yunlou, "Song Liang also passed, Second Senior Brother, your disciple really surprised us."
"Good luck!" Qi Yunlou smiled faintly.
Xu Meng read the names of the disciples who passed one by one, and the disciples of the main sect were basically the disciples of the main sect in front, and there were also some small sects that had good cultivation and also passed, but there were none of them who were scattered cultivators.
Until he read Xue Ning here.
"Loose cultivation, Xin Cao, pass the test!"
Hearing the word Sanxiu, all the defeated monks looked at her one after another, their eyes shocked.
"Is that her?" One of the disciples of Luoxia Mountain muttered.
", I know her, isn't she the one who broke through the first layer of the Shenwu Tongtian Pavilion?"
Someone in the crowd recognized Xue Ning.
"What, the first floor of the Tsutenkaku?"
Even the elders of the main sects sitting on the stage were shocked, staring at Xue Ning intently.
