Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.

More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

With a sufficient supply of Hunyuan Pill, Lin Shenxiu improved quickly, and he successfully broke through to the sixth layer of Changxi.

And under the cultivation of the three clones day and night, the Qi Sword Finger and the Anode Sword Technique finally reached the consummation realm.

[Name: Lin Shen]

[Talent: Touch Bypass]

[Realm: 35% of the sixth layer of long-term breath]

[Exercises: Golden Crow Sutra (Dacheng 42%), Anode Sword Technique (Perfection), Qi Sword Finger (Perfection Realm), Fan Technique (Proficient 78%)]

[Number of clones 5 (94%)]

Compared with the Qi Sword Finger, the difficulty of cultivating the Yang Pole Sword Technique is lower, and coupled with the blessing of the Yang attribute cultivation speed +300% with the pure Yang Body, he has reached the Consummation Realm early.

In the time that followed, Lin Shen spent most of his energy on cultivating Qi Sword Fingers, and it was not until today that he finally reached the Consummation Realm.

Sitting cross-legged on the floor of the practice room, Lin Shen's eyes flashed, and he pointed out.

In an instant, a small sound was heard, and a wisp of incomparable finger wind had already shot out, hitting the metal wall panel not far away, leaving a small hole two or three centimeters deep.

Looking at this scene, Lin Shen had a satisfied smile on his face.

The wall of the practice room is made of special material, and he once did an experiment, with the power of the Perfection Realm Fusion Soldier, he could only leave a palm print of about one centimeter on the wall with a full blow.

From this point of view, the power of the Consummation Realm Qi Sword Finger far exceeds that of the Consummation Realm Fusion Soldier!

Of course, the attack of the melter is the surface, and the attack of the qi sword finger is the point, and the penetration must be superior.

"The Golden Crow Sutra has also been completed!" Lin Shen groaned slightly.

According to the information he learned, the Golden Crow Sutra is a long-rest realm mental method, and after breaking through to the Enlightenment Realm, the cultivation efficiency will become negligible, and the mental method will also need to be changed at that time.

Fortunately, as long as the disciples of the Dao Academy are promoted to the Enlightenment Realm, they can get the high-level mental method that is in the same vein as the Golden Crow Sutra for free, so there is no need to worry about this.

"It's a pity that the Golden Crow Sutra is not considered a martial art, even if it is cultivated to the consummation realm, it is not counted in the talent bonus of the touch bypass."

So far, Lin Shen has mastered the seven Consummation Realm martial arts.

The talent effect of the Touch Bypass has also become 'Martial Arts Cultivation Speed +70%' and 'Martial Arts Power +35%'.

Martial arts are outstanding, pure yang body, touch bypass. The talent effects of the three clones all greatly increase the speed of martial arts cultivation.

In addition, Lin Shen himself can switch talents at any time.

The main body plus three clones cultivated at the same time, and his current martial arts cultivation speed had reached a very terrifying level!

Not to mention anything else, in less than a month, the two martial arts of Qi Sword Finger and Anode Sword Technique have been cultivated from the beginning to the consummation realm, and this cultivation speed is enough to make all Dao Academy disciples doubt their lives!

You must know that many Daoist disciples spend a whole year, but they may not be able to complete the cultivation of the Anode Sword Technique, let alone complete it.

Not to mention the more difficult Qi Sword Finger!

As for the power of martial arts, except for the four clones of perseverance, the talents have the effect of increasing the power of martial arts.

However, on the premise of not summoning a clone, Lin Shen could only use one talent at a time, so this was not as amazing as the martial arts cultivation speed.

"I wonder if the talent slot can be increased after breaking through the Enlightenment Realm?"

After his thoughts drifted away for a moment, Lin Shen shook his head, dispelled distracting thoughts, and put his mind back on the matter in front of him.

Now that the Qi Sword Finger and the Anode Sword Technique have been cultivated, it is time to change to a new martial art cultivation.

Taking out the Lock Scale Gong and Wolf Soul Claw cheats from the storage bag, Lin Shen restrained his distracting thoughts and flipped through them carefully.

After memorizing it, he and his doppelganger began to comprehend.

Compared with martial arts such as the Forbidden Golden Armor and the Melting Soldier, the Scaling Lock Skill and the Wolf Soul Claw are obviously a notch behind, so it is easier to cultivate.

It only took three days for the two martial arts to be successfully introduced.

It took another two days, and the Locking Scale Gong successfully broke through to the mastery realm.

Standing in the center of the practice room, Lin Shen's heart moved, and the true qi in his body immediately flowed rapidly, and a layer of dark light instantly appeared on the skin on his body.

If you look closely, you can see that the layer of light is faintly in the shape of countless tiny scales, and it looks as if Lin Shen is wearing an illusory fish scale armor.

After the actual experience, Lin Shen found that the Iron Scale Skill was indeed more than a star and a half worse than the Forbidden Golden Armor.

However, considering that cultivating this martial art was only to improve the effect of the Touch Bypass talent, Lin Shen didn't care.

"The difficulty of the two martial arts is not high, and in about ten days, you should be able to cultivate all of them to the consummation realm."

Having said that, Lin Shen didn't continue to cultivate, but stretched his waist and walked towards the door of the practice room, ready to rest for the day.

After all, tomorrow is the day of the Disciple Level Challenge.

He's going to have to recharge his batteries.

The disciple level challenge once every three months can be said to be the biggest event in Jiuyang Dao Academy, and there is no one.

After all, the level of disciple is related to the benefits that everyone can enjoy.

Even if there is only one level difference, the accumulation of three months is enough to open up a big gap with others.

Therefore, every disciple of the Taoist Academy is reckless and wants to climb up!

And the level challenge is the only way for them to achieve their goals!

The Rank Challenge will last for three days.

The first two days are the rank challenge between the lower court disciples, and the last day is the challenge of the lower court disciples to the upper court disciples.

During this period, the order of challenges is from lowest to highest.

That is, the challenge of the unranked disciples to the yellow-level disciples will be held first—if there are no unranked disciples in the Dao Academy, this item can be directly skipped.

followed by the challenge of the yellow-level disciples to the Xuan-level disciples, and then the challenges of the Xuan-level disciples to the ground-level disciples, and so on.

In response to the challenge, Jiuyang Daoyuan has also formulated several rules.

First, everyone who challenges a high-level disciple must hand in a certain amount of merit.

For example, if a yellow-level disciple wants to challenge a Xuan-level disciple, he has to pay a small merit.

And no matter what the final victory or defeat is, this small merit belongs to the challenged Xuan-level disciple.

This rule is to prevent low-level disciples from challenging at will, and trying their luck with a fluke mentality.

Second, low-level disciples can challenge the same high-level disciple with multiple people, and high-level disciples do not need to accept all of them, but they need to accept at least three challenges.

The order of the challenges may be determined by the challenger at their own discretion.

If the negotiation fails, the challenge with the higher repair will be given priority, and if the repair is the same, the leader will be randomly selected.

For each challenger defeated, the challenged person will be given an hour's rest.

Thirdly, disciples who have successfully advanced to the ranks, as well as disciples whose level has dropped, will no longer accept challenges from others in this round of level challenges.

However, if the challenge is successful and the level falls, the disciple can challenge other high-level disciples, and the level can be restored if he succeeds.

The above are the most important regulations of the level challenge of Jiuyang Daoyuan.

Of course, there are other rules, but that's just a minutiae.

It is worth mentioning that the location of the level challenge is exactly the square where the Freshman Mentoring Battle is held.

When Lin Shen arrived there, he found that there was a two-meter-high platform in the center of the square, surrounded by stone pillars carved with mysterious patterns, which looked like some kind of formation.

If nothing else, it should be some kind of protective formation - to prevent the aftermath of the battle on the high platform from spreading to the surrounding spectators.

Except for the empty space within ten meters around the high platform, the rest of the square was already crowded with people, and the crowd was so lively.

"I'm afraid it's not the entire lower house of more than 700 people who are here."

Lin Shen was secretly speechless.

But come to think of it, there is no such thing as a time off from work for level challenges.

Whether you are injured and unable to be on the scene, or you happen to be in retreat and training, or you are out to practice, as long as you are not present when you are challenged, you will be directly judged defeated!

That's how cruel the rules are!

As he sighed, a familiar call suddenly came from not far away.

"Lao Lin, this way!"

Lin Shen followed the prestige, and saw Yang Zhongyi waving at him more than twenty meters away, and Su Nian was still standing next to him.

"You're a guy, always slow and leisurely, what's the matter, the protagonist is always the last to appear, right?"

When he got closer, before Lin Shen could speak, he was teased by Yang Zhongyi on the shoulder.

"What protagonist?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

Yang Zhongyi gestured around with his eyes.

"In the whole square today, you are the most eye-catching!"

As Yang Zhongyi said, Lin Shen's arrival attracted the attention of many people.

As far as the eye could see, many disciples were pointing in this direction, and many of them had malicious eyes.

"Look, it's Lin Shen!"

"Tsk, he's really here!"

"Nonsense, if you don't come, the number of disciples will be gone!"

"What's the difference, do you really think Lin Shen can keep the quota of Xuan-level disciples? Don't be naïve! ”

“.”

The surrounding discussions came into his ears, but Lin Shen didn't care, as if he hadn't heard it.

There will never be a shortage of people gloating in this world, just ignore it, and if you can't deal with each other, it's just a waste of energy.

"The treatment of the protagonist is not bad."

Lin Shen smiled noncommittally.

"On this occasion, the protagonist is usually a person who blocks and kills the Buddha, and maybe today I can surprise everyone."

"If only that were the case."

Yang Zhongyi only thought that Lin Shen was having fun in suffering, and didn't take his words seriously, and lowered his voice to comfort him.

"It doesn't matter if the number of Xuan-level disciples is gone, with your qualifications and strength, you can take it back sooner or later, don't be in a hurry!"

Su Nian also echoed: "That's right, your qualifications are obvious to all, it is only a matter of time before you are promoted to a Xuan-level disciple, or even a higher-level disciple, don't take it to heart about the momentary gains and losses at the moment!" ”

The comfort of the two made Lin Shen amused and warmed his heart, but he was not ready to explain more, so he opened the topic and said:

"What about the two of you, did you use that Spirit Breath Fruit before?"

At the mention of this, Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian invariably smiled happily.

"Thanks to you, we found an alchemist to refine the Gathering Breath Pill, and now we have successfully promoted to the Long Breath Realm!" Yang Zhongyi said with a smile.

After being promoted to the Long Rest Realm, he and Su Nian's position as a Huang-level disciple were basically unconcerned.

The yellow-level disciple is the level with the largest cultivation span in the realm of Jiuyang Dao Academy, from the seventh layer of pneumatics to the fourth layer of long breath.

Unlike the other three levels, disciples' cultivation often differed by only two or three realms at most.

Therefore, no one would let other Pneumatic Realm disciples not challenge, and Tou Tie ran to challenge the two Long Breath Realm disciples.

Of course, Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian didn't have to think about challenging Xuan-level disciples.

Except for Lin Shen, the weakest Xuan-level disciples have a long-term fourth-level cultivation, and with the realm strength of Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian who have just broken through for a short time, there is no possibility of success in challenging the Xuan-level disciples!

Neither worrying about being challenged nor having any intention of challenging others, Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian can be said to be one of the few people with the most relaxed mentality in the square at this time.

The only thing they were worried about was Lin Shen.

After about ten minutes, there was a sudden chirp in the sky.

More than a dozen cranes with snow-white bodies and wingspans of more than two meters flew from a distance and arrived over the square in a blink of an eye.

After circling for a few laps, the crane slowly landed on the square, and the leaders on their backs jumped and fell to the ground.

There was a sudden silence in the square, and all the disciples of the Daoist Academy closed their mouths and quietly looked at the leaders who fell from the sky.

The leader is Ke Ya.

Led by him, a group of leaders came to the seats that had been prepared for a long time and sat down.

Immediately after, Ke Ya's eyes looked around like electricity, and he didn't talk nonsense, and waved his hand directly.

"Let's get started."

The deacon, who had been waiting for him a long time ago, stepped forward and shouted:

"The Yellow Level Disciple Challenge begins!"

As soon as the words fell, someone rushed to the high platform, and before they could stand firmly, the shouts of the middle air spread all over the square.

"Disciple Zhai Guangdong, challenge the yellow-level disciple Tang Rongquan!"

The yellow-level disciple whose name was read turned black and snorted coldly.

Although level challenges are customary, as the challenged party, it is inevitable that some people will feel that the other party is underestimating themselves before they will come to the challenge, so the mood is naturally not much better.

The deacon in charge of the presiding officer did not respond immediately, but turned his head to look around, and said in a loud voice:

"Are there any other challengers?"

No one answered, and the deacon nodded expressionlessly and looked at Tang Rongquan.

"Tang Rongquan, do you want to accept the challenge?"

Nonsense, doesn't accepting it equal to losing without a fight?

Tang Rongquan secretly slandered, directly replaced the answer with action, and walked a few steps quickly and jumped onto the high platform.

The battle broke out in the blink of an eye, but it ended quickly.

In the end, Tang Rong won the whole banner and successfully defended his position as a yellow-level disciple.

However, the next two battles all ended in the Challenger's victory.

This is not surprising, seventy-nine of the yellow-level disciples are the same as the non-rank disciples, they are all freshmen this year, and their strength is actually not much different.

It's just that some of them were a little unlucky and didn't get a good ranking in the big exam, so they missed the quota of yellow-level disciples.

And now, it's time for them to get back what was rightfully theirs!

In just over an hour, more than a dozen yellow-level disciples were taken away from their places and turned into non-rank disciples.

And these people, without exception, are all freshmen.

As for the old students, there are very few people who dare to challenge.

The few challengers failed unsurprisingly.

That's when it happened.

There was a sudden commotion in the crowd.

Lin Shen followed the prestige, and saw a figure jumping onto the high platform, standing with a knife.

But it's Yan Xing!
