Chapter 639 Private Agreement

Soon, many sword test disciples were eliminated, and the candidates who passed the initial test have gradually come out.

There are a total of five people in the Nangong family, six in the Ou family, and four in the Li family.

One of the Li family passed the initial test, and Li Jin was already very happy, but Li Sung-jae was not happy. Li Jin was happy, because in his third year at the helm of the Li family, there was finally a disciple of the Li family who could pass the sword test, which was better than the previous two years, and there was no one. However, Li Jin really has nothing to be happy about, because this disciple who passed the initial examination is not his person, but Li Chengzai's disciple, but the façade of the Li family is already much better-looking.

Lee Sung-jae is unhappy, but he has his reasons. Because the number of disciples who entered the room was limited, there were only two people in each family, but now that the first test has just passed, there is only one single seedling left in the Li family, which means that another place in their Li family has been snatched away by the other three.

Just after the first examination, the Li family has already lost a place, if this disciple of his cannot pass the re-examination, then it will mean that their Li family will be wiped out again this year. Since the Star Sword Sect was co-founded by the four ancestral masters, there have been no disciples in the family for three consecutive years, and such a thing has never happened. If this is the case, their Li family will be disgraced and thrown home.

After the initial examination, the disciples who have passed the preliminary examination are generally given some time to prepare, and then the re-examination will start the next day.

The re-examination is not a competition between the disciples who are trying the sword, but the elders assign the official disciples to test the disciples who are trying the sword, usually limited to fifty or one hundred moves, and if the talent is higher, he may also be asked to take one hundred and fifty moves. It doesn't matter if you win or lose the retest, the most important thing is to look at the performance of the sword disciple and see if he has cultivation value. Because no matter how powerful the sword test disciple is, it is absolutely impossible to beat the disciple assigned by the elder. If he can already beat the candidate pointed out by the elders, then he doesn't need to go to the sword test conference, and he can go out and walk the rivers and lakes directly.

The result of the retest, no matter how many moves you win or lose, it doesn't matter, in short, you have to have bright spots, you have to make the elders think that you are a talent, and then they will select you and train you. After the re-examination, the results are generally not announced immediately, but the elders will consult with each other to see who is suitable and who is not, and then decide on the candidates together.

However, there is a bottom line for the re-examination, if the re-examination disciple can't even pass the fifty-trick test of the most books, then he will directly lose the qualification to become a disciple in the room, that is, defeat in the real sense.

The only disciple of Lee Sung-jae who passed the sword test conference was called Li Yishuang, and Lee Sung-jae was pleased that Li Yishuang performed well in the sword test conference, and he was unanimously recognized by everyone, and they all thought that he had a great chance of passing the retest.

Yes, it's better than nothing.

Lee Sung-jae can only comfort himself with this.

At night, each family went back to their own home, and the disciples who passed the re-examination this night naturally had something on their minds, and most of them couldn't sleep.

When Li Sung-jae was young, he also went to participate in the sword trial conference, so he especially understands Li Yishuang's mood now. The Li family has not selected a new disciple for two years, and the Li family has high expectations for him.

Xiling Mountain, the residence of Lee Sung-jae.

At this time, it was almost time, but Li Sung-jae had not fallen asleep yet, and he was still teaching his proud disciple Li Yishuang face-to-face.

"Cool, remember! Retest tomorrow, don't care who the opponent is, don't care about the results, just fight hard and perform well. With your gifts, the elders will see it as long as they are not blind. Lee Sung-jae's tone was obviously quite critical of the elders. It's as if the elders don't choose my disciples, they're blind.

"Yes, Master. I remembered. Li Yishuang nodded and replied.

"How is the swordsmanship I taught you recently?" Lee Sung-jae asked again.

"I've already practiced well, or the master will give me some advice." Li Yishuang replied.

"No need, it's too late today, you have to compete tomorrow, that's it, you go back first." Lee Sung-jae replied.

"Yes, Master." Li Yishuang said, and planned to retire.

Oh! Retest tomorrow, the set of swordsmanship I taught you, unless you have to, remember not to use it. Lee Sung-jae admonished.

"Why?" Li Yishuang was puzzled.

"Don't ask, just do what I say." Lee Sung-jae said sternly.

"Okay, the disciple has retired." Li Yishuang said, then turned around and left.

After Lee Il-shuang left, Lee Sung-jae also returned to the room and was about to fall asleep. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he took his sword, and walked out of the room in three steps and two steps.

He did not follow the right path, but jumped out of the wall with his sword and went straight into the mountains and forests.

Xiling Mountain was lush with vegetation, and it was quiet and dark at this time, so he couldn't see, and he didn't know where he was going, and he didn't know what he was going to do.

Lee Sung-jae came to an open field and suddenly stopped.

He didn't speak, he was observing, as if looking for something.

With a sword sound, Li Chengzai's sword was unsheathed and stabbed straight behind a big tree. His swordsmanship is extremely fast, and his sword moves are sharp, even compared with the top ten swordsmen, he is not inferior at all.

The sword rang out, a black shadow flashed, and a masked man came out from behind the tree, holding a fine steel rod.

Li Chengzai was unforgiving, the sword move was in hot pursuit, that person's martial arts were strong, and he was not weaker than Li Chengzai, the iron rod was waved, the "bell bell" sounded several times, the fire flashed, and Li Chengzai's sword moves were all blocked. Lee Sung-jae let out a "huh", and the sword moves stabbed out one after another, the black shadow body was strange, and Lee Sung-jae had never seen it before. However, Li Chengzai was bold and not afraid at all, and his sword moves only attacked but not defended, forcing the man in black to retreat again and again.

The black shadow man saw that Li Chengzai's sword move was powerful, and he resisted head-on, fearing that he would be invincible, so his body suddenly folded, flashing a strange arc, and then he came behind Li Chengzai, and then the long stick counterattacked, and the attack was also very powerful.

Li Chengzai was slightly shocked, because he had never seen this way at all, and he had never even heard of it.

Lee Sung-jae retreated with his sword move, turned attack into defense, and calmly defused the attack of the man in black.

Suddenly, the two of them stopped at the same time, as if some kind of agreement had been reached in the dark.

"Li Gongzi's swordsmanship is really superb, I admire it." The person who came was the first to speak.

"Your Excellency's martial arts are outstanding, why did you break into my Xiling Mountain for several days in a row, and you were too lazy to leave, what is the purpose?" Lee Sung-jae asked in a sullen voice.
