Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the small courtyard.

Zhang Jing checked the magic weapon flying sword and the water cloud shield in his hand over and over again, so as not to have problems when he used it today.

Then he took another look at the Spell Fish in the Five Magic Spirit River.

It wasn't until he was sure that all the preparations had been made that he took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and walked towards the Inheritance Pavilion.

Today's road is much quieter than usual.

On the way, Zhang Jing met many people, all of whom walked forward in silence, with serious expressions on their faces.

Not much.

Stomp –

Zhang Jing slowly walked to the square in front of the Heritage Pavilion.

With a slight sweep of his gaze, he roughly estimated that there were as many as 300 new people joining the Daoist Academy this time.

And these three hundred people are the geniuses selected by the Longhu Daoist Academy from the millions of school-age teenagers in the thirteen states of the southern country.

Look beyond the crowd around you and look out.

I saw that ten square stone platforms about one zhang high and ten zhang long and wide had risen in the middle of the square.

These square platforms are distributed in a circular shape, with a cyan glow on them, giving them a sense of indestructibility.

On the outskirts, there are more than a dozen tall stone pillars and dense small stone platforms, on which futons are neatly arranged.

At this moment, there were already a lot of senior brothers and sisters in the outer courtyard in green robes sitting on these futons, and they looked at their group of people from time to time with a curious or expectant gaze.

Zhang Jing guessed that these people should belong to the many task teams in the outer courtyard.

The sun rises in the sky.

One by one, the light flew out of the Inheritance Pavilion and landed on the giant stone pillar in an instant, and the majestic and terrifying spiritual power fluctuations filled all directions.

The square, which was extremely lively just now, was instantly quiet.

"Brothers, sisters."

Senior Brother Liu, dressed in purple, quietly appeared in the middle of the square, and said loudly:

"Now I announce that this ranking assessment has officially begun. First of all, let's introduce the rules of the first round of qualifying examinations. ”

The moment the voice fell.

Countless eyes gathered towards Senior Brother Liu in mid-air.

"The rules for this round are very simple, there are 10 stages there. There is no restriction on spells, no restrictions on magic weapons, as long as you can hold on to thirty breaths in the hands of the puppet on the stage, you can pass the first round; Otherwise, it will be eliminated. ”

Between words.

With a wave of Senior Brother Liu's cuffs, he saw ten streamers flying out and landing directly on the stage, turning into ten humanoid puppets with black iron shining all over their bodies, and their breath was cold.

"After sixty breaths, those who were named by me will stage the Dharma stage."

With that, Senior Brother Liu closed his eyes.

Below.

The crowd suddenly poured towards the stage like a tide.

While walking, Zhang Jing suddenly felt that his clothes were gently pulled. Looking back, it turned out to be Ji Bochang.

"Brother Ji?"

"Brother Zhang is going together?"

"Very good."

As soon as the time came, Senior Brother Liu in mid-air opened his eyes and had an extra jade slip in his hand.

"Li Cheng, the first stage."

"Wu Wenxuan, the second stage."

......

Senior Brother Liu's voice kept ringing, and the person who was called by his name suddenly showed bitterness on his face, and walked on the stage with heavy steps.

Zhang Jing followed and looked at the stage.

I saw a man slowly walking on the stage.

Across from him, the puppet jerked its head up, and its whole body lit up.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the puppet step hard with one foot, and the whole body turned into an afterimage that was difficult to capture with the naked eye, and instantly came to the person and smashed it out with a punch.

The air was torn apart, and there was a piercing screech.

Bang –

Before the man could react, he flew straight out and fell heavily to the ground, a large chunk in his chest.

Hiss –

Around Zhang Jing, the sound of gasping cold air came and went.

Fortunately, a purple-robed figure suddenly stood up on a stone pillar, and a white light flickered, straight into the man's body.

The next moment, the injuries on his body healed at an extremely terrifying speed.

The flesh and bones of the living and the dead are nothing more than that.

And the other side.

Zhang Jing's eyes condensed slightly.

The strength of this puppet is not simple, and it is estimated that most of them will not even survive the first round this time.

"These puppets, it is said that the whole body is made of cold iron, indestructible, and there are many forbidden dao patterns engraved on them, and their combat power is comparable to that of a third-layer cultivator of qi refining. However, they should have been limited by the senior brother in the inner court, otherwise that person would have been directly blown up just now. ”

Ji Bochang explained to Zhang Jing in a low voice.

"This is also what Senior Sister told you?" Zhang Jing asked sideways.

"Naturally," Ji Bochang nodded, "these things are sold in the Thousand Law Pavilion, and the cheapest sixty Dao Gong." ”

"I see."

Zhang Jingjing nodded.

Inadvertently, it was close to noon.

Thanks to the puppet's quick and ruthless attack, the first round of assessment has come to an end.

But at this moment, the atmosphere at the scene is getting more and more enthusiastic.

Because at this time, there are already a few second-class talents on the field. As soon as these people came on the field, they showed a completely different performance from most people who were rated as C and D.

Or the magic weapon is in the sky, or the spell is powerful.

In addition to fending off the puppet's terrifying attacks, they can occasionally fight back.

caused everyone in the audience to exclaim.

Offstage.

Ji Bo often dragged a somewhat embarrassed figure to Zhang Jing's side, and said solemnly:

"Brother Zhang, be careful later. This puppet is really difficult, it can't be beaten and can't be beaten, and the attack is ridiculously strong. ”

"Thank you Brother Ji for reminding me, I'll pay attention."

Zhang Jing replied calmly.

The two of them spoke.

"Zhang Jing, the ninth stage." Senior Brother Liu's voice sounded.

"Got me."

Zhang Jing smiled slightly, and then strode towards the ninth stage under the gaze of everyone around him.

Under the stage.

The people around looked at the strange figure who stepped onto the stage step by step, as well as the unfamiliar name they heard just now, and suddenly understood that it was another second-class genius.

So they all looked at the stage intently.

Whew-

After taking a few deep breaths in a row, Zhang Jing blocked out all the noise in his ears, and his eyes instantly focused on the puppet.

Step out!

It's as if a switch has been flapped.

In Zhang Jing's sight, the puppet raised its head suddenly, its empty eyes looked directly at itself, and a series of complicated spell prohibition patterns lit up, and violent spiritual power fluctuations rushed to his face.

The next moment.

I saw the puppet with his fists in front of him, and his body jumped high, wrapped in a cold and murderous aura, like a heavy hammer smashed straight towards Zhang Jing.

Fast! Unbeatably fast!

Like a black lightning bolt, it flashed in front of Zhang Jing's eyes.

The strong wind from the puppet's movement blew in his face like a pinprick in the face.

There are no spells.

The puppet's extremely hard body, combined with its extreme speed, made this blow even more terrifying than ordinary spells.

Well done!

Zhang Jing's eyes froze, and he wiped one hand from the storage bag.

The water cloud shield suddenly appeared, and then as if teleporting, it stood between him and the puppet. The abundant spiritual power in the dantian was instilled into the water cloud shield, making the black spiritual light permeated on the shield deeper and more condensed.

Boom –

The sound of violent collision instantly resounded throughout the square, attracting a lot of attention.

Under the attack of the puppet, the spiritual light covered by the water cloud shield flickered and disappeared for a while, as if it would be shattered in the next moment.

But in the end, I persevered.

Seeing that the small shield in front of him blocked his attack, the puppet's eyes flashed.

It grabbed the Shui Yun Shield with one hand, and at the same time, its whole body bent over, using the Shui Yun Shield as the base point, it turned into a long whip and fiercely pulled it towards Zhang Jing who was hiding behind the Shui Yun Shield.

An even stronger wave of spiritual power erupted from the puppet's body.

And this kind of operation?

A hint of surprise flashed on Zhang Jing's face, but he was not panicked.

Hearing only the sound of 'Zheng', the magic weapon flying sword was sacrificed by Zhang Jing, and the blade of the sword suddenly wrapped up an extremely condensed black edge, directly meeting the puppet.

With the sound of gold and iron resonating, the puppet's attack was once again blocked by Zhang Jing.

In desperation, the puppet had to retreat in order to find a fighter.

And on the other side.

Zhang Jing's gaze slowly swept towards the puppet.

Now that you've retired, the initiative in the next battle is mine.

However, after two attacks, Zhang Jing had already figured out the combat power level of this puppet.

The second layer of Qi training!

It should match his own cultivation, after all, when he was watching from the audience just now, this puppet's combat power was not so strong.

However, the second layer of gas refining ...... Just right!

The skin and flesh are thick and the resistance to beating, although the attack method is single, but after all, it exists at the same level, and this is not the target of the best practice weapon manipulation?

My heart moved.

The illusory eyes slowly opened.

The flying sword suddenly shone brightly, turning into a streamer that tore through the air and slashed straight at the puppet.

Boom!

The powerful blow directly smashed the puppet to a stumbling ground.

The puppet, on the other hand, relied on the hardness of his body, ignoring the flying sword, and got up and went towards Zhang Jing to kill. Unexpectedly, before it could take two steps, it was slammed on the face by the oncoming water cloud shield.

For a while, the flying sword and the water cloud shield were under Zhang Jing's control, sometimes aggressive like fire, and sometimes Xu Jin like a forest.

All kinds of perceptions about the control of magic weapons suddenly appeared, making Zhang Jing's control of the flying sword and the water cloud shield more handy.

The two magic weapons attacked and defended, as if weaving an impenetrable net, blocking the puppet to death.

Ultimately.

In the twenty-seventh breath.

The puppet was smashed off the stage by Zhang Jing.

There was silence on all sides.

"Zhang Jing, pass." Senior Brother Liu's voice sounded at the right time, breaking the silence.

Zhang Jing withdrew his magic weapon and walked down calmly.

The 10th stage next door.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The puppet's attack was like a raging storm, and Wu Mingyuan was controlling the magic weapon with a pale face, struggling to resist attacks that were more terrifying each time.

The spiritual power on the first floor of Qi refining was almost exhausted, and the spiritual light on the magic weapon had dimmed to the extreme.

"Five, four, three......"

Wu Mingyuan, who was blackened in front of him, silently recited the remaining time in his mouth.

"Wu Mingyuan, pass."

Senior Brother Liu's voice sounded like heaven to Wu Mingyuan at this moment.

The forbidden spell patterns on the puppet's body gradually faded.

Wu Mingyuan couldn't support it anymore, and his body fell down as soon as he went limp. On the ground, he didn't care about any image anymore, just gasped for air.

And at this moment, the figure of Zhang Jing slowly leaving on the ninth stage came into view.

He couldn't help but look at the puppet that fell under the stage, and there was a hint of happiness in his heart for no reason:

Fortunately, I apologized in time, otherwise I would have ...... now

On a stone platform on the periphery.

"Senior brother, that is Zhang Jing who you once invited, but was rejected?"

"Exactly, senior brother."

"When it comes to talent, it is a second class assessment; In terms of mentality, the enemy is not chaotic, and the timing of attack and defense is good, which is a good seedling. That's it, junior brother, after the ranking is over, I would like you to invite it again on behalf of our Baichuan team. ”

"Senior brother, he had refused before—"

"Then junior brother, you just set the conditions a little higher, what refusal is nothing more than the conditions we gave did not meet his expectations."

"Thirty percent of Dao Gong?"

"This rule can't be broken, find a way to start from other aspects."

......

"Brother Zhang, your cultivation is ...... The second layer of gas refining?! ”

Ji Bo often looked at Zhang Jing blankly and said in shock.

"It's all a fluke, it's all a fluke." Zhang Jing responded modestly.

"Hehe, it's a fluke again......"

Ji Bo often looked at Zhang Jing with a little complexity in his eyes.

From the beginning of entering the Seventh Clinical Hospital, to the introduction of contemplation, to the introduction of qi into the body, and then to the present, it is less than a month.

And in this short period of time.

He watched his brother Zhang go from being far behind, to being only one day behind him, to being only one day behind him, and now he was cultivating to step into the second layer of qi refining.

It's all like a dream, exaggerated to the point of unreal.

For a moment, Ji Bo often felt that Brother Zhang might not be worse than those two first-class demons.

But the next moment, he shook his head.

What are you thinking?

......

"Chen Xiandao, the first stage."

Senior Brother Liu's voice suddenly sounded, and immediately attracted everyone's attention. Including Zhang Jing, everyone squeezed towards the first stage.

On the outer stone platform.

The moment they heard this name, many of the members of the mission team stopped chatting and unconsciously looked at the first stone platform in front of them.

There was a burly bald man sitting there, and the spiritual power on his body fluctuated extremely violently, as if a volcano was about to erupt.

"That's it...... One of the two first-class demons this time, Chen Xiandao? ”

In the crowd, Zhang Jing looked at the tall figure on the stage, and couldn't help but feel a trace of curiosity in his heart.

He heard that this person had been practicing in the island cave of the No. 1 Panlong Squad, so he had never heard of his name and not seen him.

Now I finally see it alive!

Of course, more curious than his appearance, Zhang Jing was more curious about the top-grade cultivation method cultivated by the other party.

Stage.

The puppet's figure blurred for a while, and then suddenly appeared in front of Chen Xiandao.

Here it comes!

Zhang Jing's heart moved, and he directly opened his heart.

I saw that Chen Xiandao's body straightened up instantly, and he suddenly gave people a strange feeling that a giant god was holding up the sky, and the scorching red stripes covered his whole body.

Punch it out!

Punch punch!

Rumble!

The puppet was smashed out by Chen Xiandao with a punch.

"Chen Xiandao, pass."

Senior Brother Liu's voice sounded.

"Oh my God! Brother Zhang, did you see that? ”

Ji Bo often lost his voice, and the expression on his face was distorted by excessive shock.

"I see it."

Zhang Jing replied with a smile, with a trace of excitement in his eyes that could not be concealed.

He really saw it!

Just now, in the perception of the heart, when this Chen Xiandao made a move, there was an extremely subtle unknown rhyme wrapped around his fist.

Through that rhyme, Zhang Jing seemed to see a terrifying giant god with crimson flames burning all over his body.

He can now be sure that the top-grade cultivation method is related to Dao Yun!
