Chapter 55: Ouyang Ping
Now that he knew that he had become a core disciple of the outer sect, Ling Zhan finally breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, at least the five-star crystal nucleus he finally got his hands on.
At this time, the old man continued: "There are already three core disciples, and among the rest of you, I still have to find two core disciples!
Ling Zhan shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't care.
The young swordsman snorted and turned his gaze away!
Maybe it was because they saw the scene where the frozen boy wanted to kill Ling Zhan but was killed instead, everyone couldn't help but hesitate a little in their hearts, they were afraid in their hearts! They were afraid that their fate would be the same as that frozen boy, after all, no one knew if there were real masters around them!
Time passed like this, minute by minute, but there was still calm below!
No one took the lead in making a move, everyone was on guard, and they were on guard against the teenagers around them to prevent them from suddenly attacking! During this period, a few people seemed to want to kill the teenagers around them by sneak attack, but they were shocked to find that everyone was engrossed in guard, and they had no chance to sneak attack at all!
Perhaps the old man on the stone platform was a little impatient, and he said loudly: "If no one makes a move, then except for the three who have become core disciples, all of you will be treated as slaves, and all living beings will not be allowed to become disciples of Xuanyang Gate, and they will not even be allowed to leave Xuanyang Gate!"
What? Become a slave?
Sentient beings are not allowed to become disciples of Xuanyang Gate?
The crowd couldn't believe their ears.
If you become a slave, what is the use of coming here by yourself, it is better to be powerful at home!
At this time, there are already people who regret it in their hearts!
I regret that I came to Xuanyangmen, here and the Xuanyangmen in my imagination are two worlds at all! If I had known this, I would have killed myself, and I would not have come to this place!
But if you want to quit now, everyone doesn't have the courage to do so!
The scene of the killing of the old man just now still appeared in front of these teenagers from time to time, stimulating their increasingly fragile nerves!
At the moment when everyone was entangled, someone finally made a move.
With the first person to make a move, it was as if ice water had been poured into a hot oil pot, and in an instant the whole oil pot began to boil again!
Everyone was involved in the fight.
Of course, in the process of everyone fighting, whether it was the swordsman, the swordsman or Ling Zhan, the surroundings of the three of them became a vacuum, and no one dared to step into it even a step!
Looking at the young men in front of them, everyone's faces were full of hideous colors, their eyes were blood-red, and the kind of gaze that chose people to devour, even Ling Zhan, who was already as strong as iron, couldn't help but be moved!
These are children under the age of sixteen!
But under the constant temptation and coercion of the old man, he quickly transformed into a beast, a beast that only knew how to attack!
At this time, Ling Zhan finally knew why Huai Zhen repeatedly told him to survive, maybe he already knew the cruelty here!
At this time, what appeared in front of Ling Zhan's eyes was a human tragedy, the terrible sound of fighting, the screams of pain, and the roar like a beast, intertwined, like a stream of magic sounds, constantly stimulating the soul.
I don't know how much time passed, but the old man on the high platform finally shouted to stop! The sound of fighting finally stopped.
At this time, there were less than fifty teenagers who could stand on the stone platform! Most of them were already lying on the ground, either seriously injured or dead!
At this time, the entire stone platform was filled with a thick bloody atmosphere, and the bloody smell made people sick.
Ling Zhan frowned and looked at the more than fifty teenagers, almost all of them had at least three or more wounds on their bodies, but the eyes of these fifty teenagers were filled with indifference and coldness, and they didn't notice that the wounds on their bodies were bleeding outward.
At this time, Ling Zhan finally understood something!
That's why, for so many years, none of the disciples in Green Willow City who entered the Xuanyang Gate have returned! Why did they all die in the Xuanyang Gate.
Ling Zhan finally understood!
The mortality rate of the selection of the outer disciples of the Xuanyang Sect is too high!
Leaving behind the nearly 200 disciples who left early, the remaining 800 people were eventually left with only about 50 left! That is to say, 750 people died here!
And these fifty people will have to go through many tribulations and crises in the coming days, and in the end, I don't know how many of these fifty people will succeed in becoming inner disciples!
And at the thought that there were 30,000 outer disciples in the Xuanyang Sect, Ling Zhan couldn't help but feel a chill! There were 30,000 disciples who became outer disciples, so what about the number of people who died in the middle of the way? It was unimaginable!
However, Ling Zhan also admitted that only after such a cold and cruel selection could the most elite among them be selected.
The old man looked at the cold eyes in the eyes of everyone below, nodded appreciatively, and said, "Yes, everyone's cousin, I am very satisfied! You are all victors after countless battles, so you are all elites! I will select two people among you to become the core disciples of this year, and the rest of you are all elite disciples!"
At this time, the young swordsman suddenly said, "Elder, when will I be able to fight against Ling Zhan?"
Ling Zhan glanced at the young swordsman and found that he was staring at him, his eyes flashing with vigorous battle intent!
The old man was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Not yet!"
The young swordsman said, "When will it be done?"
The old man said with a smile: "Half a month later, whether it is an elite disciple or a core disciple, there will be a trial competition! If you can achieve the final victory, then congratulations, no matter what kind of cultivation you are, you will eventually obtain the qualification of an inner disciple!"
Looking at the young man's eager expression below, the old man smiled and said, "After becoming an inner disciple, you will find that the resources you can enjoy are unimaginable in your life!
Ling Zhan admitted that this old man's words were very tempting! Even he was already moved.
At this moment, a man in black walked over, and he shouted loudly: "All elite disciples come with me, I will take you to your residence!"
The old man smiled and said, "All the elite disciples, let's go with the man in black, he will settle you well! Five core disciples, you stay, the old man has something to tell you." ”
Soon, there were only five teenagers left on the entire stone platform.
The old man snorted, jumped down from the high platform, came to the front of the five people, and said with a smile: "Introduce yourself, my name is Ouyang Ping, you can call me Elder Ping, or Elder Ouyang! Also, I will arrange your next food and lodging, come with me!"
Several people followed the old man to turn left and right on this Xuanyang Mountain, and finally came to a stop in front of a row of rooms with beautiful buildings. At the same time, he said to the five people: "Among the thousand people, the five of you are the best, so you should be able to enjoy the qiē here! There are all kinds of food and wine here, and you can enjoy all the qiē as you like." ”
Looking around, Ling Zhan nodded secretly. The environment here is really good, it can be called quiet and quiet, the room is surrounded by a variety of flowers, and the charming fragrance of flowers wafts into the air, which makes people feel very comfortable. It is indeed a very comfortable thing to be able to stay here.
Ling Zhan looked at the old man and said, "Elder Ouyang, I remember that in addition to us, there seem to be ten core disciples! I want to know where they live?"
The old man glanced at Ling Zhan with a little meaning, and said with a smile: "I want to know where they live?"
Hearing the old man's words, the swordsman had already reflected, and he said to the old man, "Elder Ouyang, is this just a comfort for us?"
The old man smiled slightly and said, "Why do you say that?"
The swordsman said in a deep voice: "It's very simple! The core disciples that the elder said just now are simply false! With our current strength, how can we compete with those disciples who have been in the outer gate for several years? And here we can only enjoy half a month at most, and after half a month, if we lose in the trial competition, I'm afraid we will be demoted to elite disciples, or even ordinary disciples, I'm not wrong!"
The old man nodded and said, "Your observation is very sharp! That's it!"
The swordsman said: "In other words, this so-called core disciple is just a joke!"
The old man shook his head and said, "Of course not, if you can defeat all the challengers in the competition trial, the status of the core disciple is still valid!"
The swordsman shook his head and said, "After so many years, has anyone ever succeeded?"
The old man smiled, "Of course there is! And there are quite a few of them." ”
The young swordsman looked indifferent and said, "No one can snatch what should belong to me from my hands!"
The old man nodded appreciatively and said, "Yes, very confident!" After speaking, he turned his gaze to Ling Zhan and said, "What do you think?" and the other two, the old man didn't even pay attention.
Ling Zhan said, "I just want to know, when will the fifth-level crystal nucleus promised by Elder Ouyang just now be handed over to me?"
Hearing Ling Zhan's words, Ouyang Ping was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing and said, "Ling Zhan, it's interesting! Okay, what Elder Ben promised will naturally be given to you." ”
After speaking, he took out a transparent crystal nucleus the size of a duck egg, threw it to Ling Zhan casually, and said, "This is what you deserve, give it to you!"
Ling Zhan connected the fifth-level crystal nucleus and said, "Thank you, Elder!"
Ouyang Ping said with a smile: "If you want to thank me, I hope that one of the three of you can keep the position of the core disciple!"
