Chapter 100: Strength Test (Part II)
The empty shiyan hall suddenly blew by a gust of wind, filling the air with dust and a musty smell.
Xiao Lao's words immediately made everyone in the audience quiet again, and everyone's eyes fell on him.
When he was young, Xiao Lao took a half step forward gently, and then said: "This strength test is different from the past, because of the special situation, so after the patriarch and the elders discussed, it was decided to change the age of the people participating in the test from the original sixteen years old to twenty years old, and the original seventh-order martial qi to fifth-order martial qi! That is to say, all disciples under the age of twenty can come to the test, and once they pass the test, they can enter the inner refining secret room for cultivation!"
Rumble!
It was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which really shocked everyone, including Ye Xuan! Immediately, the audience immediately began to boil again, surprised, excited, disdainful, coaxing, everything.
Advancing the test date was already a surprising move before, but I didn't expect that now even the age and strength have been modified, which is indeed a major decision for the Du family.
And for some young disciples, it is a great thing, especially those who are already old but not very strong, in the face of such a change, there is another opportunity, which is undoubtedly exciting.
However, Ye Xuan also knew very well that the reason why the Du family made this decision was to consider the competition with the Liang family half a month later. Judging from the intention of the city lord of Nanzhan City, it is obvious that he is focusing on the cultivation of young martial cultivators. After the Du family figured out this intention, they naturally had to follow it. I believe that not only this test, but also future tests will be relaxed.
But it is undeniable that there is more or less Du Rutian's will in this, after all, so far, Du Rutian does not know what Ye Xuan's strength is. And out of love for Ye Xuan, it is not surprising that the threshold was deliberately changed from the seventh-order martial qi to the fifth-order martial qi.
Anyway, this is Du Rutian's good intentions anyway, and Ye Xuan is naturally grateful.
As for some disdainful coager, they are obviously very dissatisfied with this arrangement. And most of these people were people who were over twenty years old but had more strength than the fifth-order martial qi, or who had successfully entered the inner refining secret room last year or even the previous year by virtue of their hard cultivation as a child.
Because such a change undoubtedly made them feel very unfair, they were old and strong enough, but they couldn't enter the inner refining secret room for cultivation, and they had to work harder than others, and they had endured more hardships than others, and finally had the qualification for internal refining, but they found that if they didn't have to suffer so much at the beginning, they could still have the qualification to enter the internal refining. This comparison does make people feel very painful and tragic.
But the matter has come to this point, and since it has been arranged, it cannot be changed, and it is useless to shout and coax.
So Xiao Lao suddenly stretched out his hand and said loudly: "Stop! That's the arrangement, now the disciples under the age of twenty in the clan will take the initiative to stand in the open space on the right side of Shiyan Terrace, and after lining up, they will go on stage one by one to test!"
As he spoke, he saw that the audience immediately began to commotion, and according to Xiao Lao's instructions, many young disciples lined up to stand in the open space on the right side of Shiyan Terrace, and to Ye Xuan's shock, even Xiao Du Lin ran over to line up.
He was just a six-year-old child, even though he had great potential, but it seemed that he was only the strength of the fourth-order martial qi, and even if he tested it on stage, he was afraid that it would only be in vain. It's just that at such a young age, it is really commendable to have such courage.
At this time, Du Rutian on the stage glanced at Ye Xuan again, and at the same time signaled Ye Xuan to hurry up and line up. And in the same way, Xiao Lao was looking at Ye Xuan, but the way he looked at Ye Xuan was very special, his brows were tightly locked, as if he was puzzled, and as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan didn't show anything, but looked relaxed, shrugged his shoulders, and then slowly walked towards the back of the line, and lined up to zuihou without any quarrel.
Testing this thing is not a first-come, first-served basis, as long as you have that strength, as long as you don't break in the middle, you can still pass the test in the end, so for Ye Xuan, there is no need to rush at all.
This is not a contempt for the test, but an affirmation of one's own strength.
Now let the old man explain the process of testing for you. After a while, the subject will stand facing this crystal stele, and then the old man will use this crystal ruler to scan the position from the subject's chest to the dantian. There are four colors of red, orange, yellow, and green on the crystal stele, which are located on the top and bottom of the stele, and these four colors correspond to the four realms of martial arts, warriors, samurai, and martial artists. And there are nine sections on each side of the stele, that is, each step. That is to say, when the tester is scanned, if the strength reaches the fifth-order martial qi, the top of the stele will emit red light, if the strength reaches the third-order martial artist, there will be three stages below the stele that emit orange light, and so on, and after each test, the text version of the corresponding strength level will be displayed in the center of the stele......"
Xiao Lao crackled and said a lot, it was a very simple thing, but it was so complicated, but fortunately, most of the Du family children present had more or less seen or heard of it and understood the principle. And Ye Xuan's comprehension ability is not bad, and he finally knows what Xiao Lao is talking about.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the so-called crystal stele is just a test display, as for the crystal ruler, it is a sensor used for testing, and the nine segments on the left and right sides of the stele can be understood as a digital version of the display, and the text displayed in the center can be understood as a text similar to the data obtained by binary operation like a computer.
In general, the principle is similar to that of a camera, except that the process is complex and the materials are very special.
"Okay! After the introduction, now invite Du Bo, the first disciple of the Du family, to come up and conduct the first test!"
Xiao Lao smiled slightly, and immediately stretched out his hand to signal Du Bo, who was standing in the first place, to come to the stage.
Since there are still quite a lot of people in line, counting carefully, there should be more than 50 people, which is also the largest in the past, so it is still a little difficult to see Du Bo in the first place.
It wasn't until Du Bo came to the stage that Ye Xuan saw his appearance and figure clearly.
The body is slender, not tall, only one meter six or five, the age should be about thirteen or fourteen years old, and there is still a bit of childishness on his face, this is Ye Xuan's first impression of Du Bo.
However, this Du Bo Ye Xuan has not heard much, but through the explanation of Du Qing next to him, he knew that this Du Bo is actually a side child of the Du family. If you want his grandfather's grandfather's grandfather, he is a cousin with Du Qing's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather, this child of the Du family, who has been separated by many generations, actually does not have much blood connection with Du Rutian, Du Zhentian and Du Batian's direct lineage, as if he is a child of the Du family who can't be beaten by eight poles.
However, from Du Qing's mouth, I learned that this Du Bo usually doesn't like to talk very much, and he doesn't have any friends, so few people know how strong he is.
As soon as Xiao Lao called him like this, Du Bo immediately walked onto the stage with a happy face, without the slightest pause, and came directly to the crystal stele, standing facing the stele.
Du Bo looks like a very honest and well-behaved little boy, when he heard Xiao Lao tell him to stand up and not move, he really looked like he was standing in a military posture, straightening his waist, raising his head and chest, and looking ahead with his eyes, which looked extremely cute.
Immediately, I saw that Xiao Laoxin took the crystal ruler placed on the table in his hand, and then slowly scanned down Du Bo's back at the level of his chest. It wasn't until he scanned the position that it was at the same level as the dantian, Xiao Lao immediately removed the crystal ruler in his hand, and then his eyes looked at the crystal stele!
At the same time, in the process of scanning, the stele also began to change!
When Xiao Lao picked up the crystal ruler and scanned Du Bo's body, a buzzing sound began to sound on the stone tablet, and at the same time, the red light at the top also flickered continuously, hovering between the sixth and seventh stages!
"Hum—"
When Elder Xiao removed the crystal ruler, a strong Weng roar came to an abrupt halt immediately, and the red light stopped flickering, and the rank finally fell on the seventh stage!
Immediately, five big characters appeared in the center of the stone tablet - Seventh-Order Martial Qi!
"Du Bo, the test is complete, age: thirteen years old, strength: seventh-order martial qi, pass!"
