Chapter 53: A Strong Opponent
Call...
Feeling that the hand felt almost familiar, Jiang Ze let out a long breath and was ready to start inscribed.
Hold your breath and sink into the dantian, touch the thin plate lightly with the tip of the needle, start the pen, undertake, turn, and finish in one go!
If the carved needle in his hand was helped, it only took half an hour to complete the inscription of the formation.
This sudden change stunned the elders. Secretly muttering, is this kid bluffing, or is he hiding it?
I don't know if he succeeded...
Unable to suppress the curiosity in his heart, the Inspector Elder pretended to pace, but in fact, he slowly leaned in front of Jiang Zeshu's case.
I saw the silver light flowing on the forged steel sheet, shining brightly, and the quality was superior!
The elder was confused, since his hands were so powerful, what were they doing just now, fooling the ghost?!
The current young juniors are really too flamboyant, jumping sideways repeatedly within the rules, and the elder snorts lightly and leaves.
After Jiang Zeming finished carving one, he moved on to the next one.
It stands to reason that as long as it becomes a sheet, it can be passed, and Jiang Ze is unwilling to give up this opportunity to familiarize himself with the formation base.
Bite~~~
The sound of the bell chime signaled the end of the first stage of the assessment, and all the disciples who participated in the assessment stopped the carved needles in their hands and waited for the elders to verify.
Jiang Ze's last one also happened to be finished, and he used up all four forged steel sheets in one go, and they all succeeded.
Nodding with satisfaction, he put down the carving needle in his hand, and the formation pattern with the best color was naturally placed on top.
Looking at the disciples around them, some were calm, some were depressed, and some were ecstatic.
The supervising elders will check in turn, and the names and serial numbers of the disciples who have passed the first stage of assessment will be written down by the disciples who follow behind them.
The disciples who passed waited on the sidelines, waiting for the second stage of the assessment, and those who did not pass left dejectedly.
When he got to Jiang Ze, the Inspector Elder recognized him.
According to the previous finished product, there is no doubt that this kid has passed the first stage of assessment.
But the elder still went down to inspect it himself, and looked at the forged steel sheet used to familiarize himself with the feel, and the formation was messy.
I pulled the finished product casually, and there were four of them, all of which were of the highest quality!
The elder took a beating, what about this kid showing off his skills?!
Such a pompous young age!
The elder's face changed slightly, and he snorted coldly: "Name, serial number!"
Jiang Ze replied respectfully: "Yantian, two hundred and twenty!"
Yan Tian had never heard of it before, could it be that the carving master had privately accepted a disciple? The elder secretly wondered.
"Waiting, waiting for the next stage of assessment. The elder didn't stop and continued to check on the next one.
The first stage of the assessment was passed, and Jiang Ze breathed a sigh of relief and stepped aside.
Some people were happy and some were sad, and after a round of screening, there were only less than one-third of the disciples left.
"Senior Sister Qing'er?!"
"Senior Brother Jingzhi!"
On the side, a handsome man with a good demeanor greeted the elegant young woman.
"Yue Qing'er, Lin Jingzhi?!"
The surrounding disciples exclaimed, these two people can be described as the most influential figures of the Moon God Sect.
"Senior Sister Qing'er is sure to get nine out of ten in this assessment!" Lin Jingzhi wished.
"How dare you, last time the elder chose a partial formation, Qing'er barely got a qualified evaluation. Yue Qing'er replied: "It's Senior Brother Jingzhi, I was able to get Shangjia last time when it was so difficult, and this time I will definitely be able to live up to expectations!"
Lin Jingzhi laughed, "Then I hope we can all play well and compete in the third stage of the assessment!"
Yue Qing'er, named after the word Yue, can distinguish the extraordinary identity from the surname alone.
Jiang Ze currently only knows the people with the surname of two months--- sect leader Yue Rushuang, and the holy woman Yue Linli, all of whom are representatives of the top level of the sect.
From the mouths of the surrounding disciples, I learned that Yue Qing'er was twenty years old, with an elegant and beautiful face like a lotus, and she was the granddaughter of the tower master of the formation.
And Lin Jingzhi, who was only twenty-three years old, had a third-order cultivation in the Dou Realm, and in last year's Inner Sect Qualifying Competition, he was unbeatable with a Red Flame Knife in one hand, and was exceptionally accepted as a disciple by the Crazy Blade Elder who studied the Dao of the Sword.
Don't look at his current appearance as a handsome scholar, but his knife skills are extremely fierce and violent, and he even cuts himself when he fights selflessly!
Unexpectedly, these two people didn't practice well, so they also came to the first-class carving master assessment to insert a kick.
"This time it seems that it is dangerous, with the two of them here, the karma teachers are afraid that they will not look down on us. One of the disciples said dejectedly.
"That can be said, Yue Qing'er doesn't care about it for the time being, after all, it has to be passed on by the tower owner. But Lin Jingzhi is only cultivating in order to get it, and the carving master relies on his hands, not on his cultivation!"
"Then you are lonely, Lin Jingzhi has already participated in the last assessment, and passed the second-stage test with Shangjia's evaluation!" The previous disciple defended, "However, he gave up the third-stage karma teacher selection and chose to re-participate in the assessment, with the goal of being excellent, even top-notch!"
"What's the use of this evaluation? It's just a momentary judgment!" The disciple next to him looked disdainful.
"Haha, you shouldn't have failed even a second-stage assessment, right?" the disciple sneered, "The teachers select apprentices, and it is natural to look at this evaluation, the higher the evaluation, the more attention you will get, and the more favor you will naturally get, and then it will not be the karma teacher who chooses you, but you who choose the karma!"
The disciple next to him was furious, "If you passed, you wouldn't still be here to talk to me!"
Jiang Ze leaned over at this time, "Two senior brothers, isn't the third stage of the selection of karma teachers, listening to Lin Jing's words, it seems that there is still a competition?"
The two stopped arguing and turned their heads to look at Jiang Ze, this person was obviously a chick, so he explained to him compassionately, "There must be a competition, if you want to get a more powerful industry teacher professor, you naturally have to show some real skills, the third stage of the assessment will play their own role, the capable will go up and the mediocre will go down, that's all!"
Jiang Ze nodded, thanked the two senior brothers, and the two turned their heads and argued endlessly over whether Yue Qing'er was better or Lin Jingzhi was slightly better.
The minions removed most of the bookcases and rearranged them in the middle of the field, and the spaced between the bookcases was wider.
Bite~~~
The sound of the bell chime sounded again.
"Silence! Let's enter the second stage of assessment--- random formation comprehension! Time limit two hours, score by completion!"
"Those who read the serial number will be listed in turn!"
"Thirteen, twenty-seven, fifty, fifty-three, fifty-seven....."
After all the disciples were seated, the Elder Inspector took out a wooden box, took a pen and wrote down twenty first-order formations on the slip of paper in turn, and then crumpled them into a ball and threw them into the wooden box.
He summoned a servant to draw lots as a sign of justice.
The disciples prayed silently, don't draw those extremely difficult formations!
Before drawing lots, the Inspector did not forget to shake the wooden box, so that the paper ball in the box was fully disrupted.
The servant reached into the wooden box, took out a ball of paper, handed it to the Elder Overseer, and bowed his head.
The Inspector Unfolded the Paper Ball and immediately announced, "Primary Blade Formation!"
"Ahh
It doesn't matter if the formation is difficult, what is examined is the real ability.
The most terrible thing is that this primary blade formation actually needs a spirit stone as the core! and it has to be placed in the early stage.
Scrapping it once costs a spirit stone, and even the disciples of Rao is inner sect can't withstand this loss.
Does this mean that the poor are not allowed to enter this door?
Many disciples secretly thought about how to deal with it, and some simply gave up and left, waiting for the next easy point to come back.
Some gritted their teeth, since everyone else gave up, wouldn't their chances improve?
From time to time, disciples left the examination room, and there were less than thirty people left in the room.
The Inspector Elder slapped the main case angrily and shouted, "Shut up all of them!
The disciples present stopped complaining.
The Inspector waved his hand and motioned to the servants to send down the drawings of the primary blade formation in detail, and the disciples couldn't help but smack their tongues as they looked at the dense brief description and the sketches of the dense formation.
Jiang Ze doesn't care, anyway, he hasn't learned other formations, so naturally the more complicated the better, so everyone is bouncing in the same bowl.
There are more than a dozen forged steel sheets on the bookcase compared to before, and there are obviously more opportunities to try.
Jiang Ze picked up the formation drawings and studied them carefully.
It is very different from the primary Yunling array, but only that the lines are more complicated, the nodes are more encrypted, and the essential attributes such as the operation rules of the formation are basically the same.
Only by looking at the essence through the phenomenon can we grasp the key point.
From time to time, disciples who left the field walked by, and Jiang Ze didn't care about them, adjusted his state, kept his heart stable and peaceful, and repeatedly rehearsed how to engrave in his mind.
Bang!!
Suddenly, there was an explosion somewhere in the examination room, and a disciple's hair was messy and his face was black and gray, apparently the failure of the formation inscription in his hand caused the explosion.
The sudden sound disturbed the minds of many people, followed by a series of explosions.
Bang, bang, bang...
After the failure, one after another, some disciples gave up and turned to leave.
There were less than ten people left in the field, Yue Qing'er, Lin Jingzhi, and Jiang Ze were also among them, and there were a few disciples who failed but resisted hard and continued to try.
Looking at the disgraced disciples, the Inspector Elder thought that this assessment was too difficult, and if it blew up like this, there would be no one in the field, which would be a big joke.
The Inspector Elder looked at it casually, and the carved needle in Yue Qing'er's hand sped up, as if she wanted to finish it before Lin Jingzhi, if this water spirit girl also blew up her face, wouldn't the tower master want my dog's life?
The elder's spine was cold, he shrunk his neck and turned his head to look at Lin Jingzhi, only to see that Lin Jingzhi slowed down the speed of the inscription, and the carved needle moved slowly, peaceful and steady.
The elder nodded secretly, not arrogant, not impatient, not impatient, not slow, can become a great tool. Yue Qing'er, this girl is still inexperienced.
Turning his head again, he saw that Jiang Ze was still touching his chin and looking at the drawings, and his hand had not yet started to move.
This bastard boy is pretending to be a beep with the old man again? I want to see when you can pretend!
Except for these three people, the rest of them have failed, summed up the experience of failure and persevered, and continued to engrave or bury themselves in the research drawings.
Shame and courage, great goodness!
Nearly half of the time has passed in a blink of an eye, and the explosions are no longer as frequent as they used to be, and they have gradually begun to peek into the doorway.
Fine sweat broke out on Yue Qing'er's forehead, and she didn't know that a strand of hair was attached to her forehead, and her hands trembled slightly, as if she had reached her limit.
On the other hand, Lin Jingzhi's subordinates were stable as usual, but his breath became a little short.
Jiang Ze also started to do it, he didn't care about the spirit stone core for the time being, left the spirit stone core blank, and carved out the basic lines of the formation first.
Despite the complexity of the patterns, Jiang Ze only took a quarter of an hour to complete the inscription of the formation patterns, and the speed was many times faster than Yue Qing'er and Lin Jingzhi!
The elder turned his head, and it was only a quarter of an hour, and this bastard boy was actually done?
The elder was very surprised, and when he got closer, he noticed that Jiang Ze's men were missing the core of the formation.
Hiss... Gan!!
