Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Test of Strength (I)
"Stop!"
Du Rutian suddenly waved his hand and snorted coldly, and the audience returned to calm again.
Immediately, Du Rutian took a step forward, looked at the audience and said loudly: "What the Great Elder said is also the focus of this meeting! Due to the suddenness of the incident, the old man decided to advance the internal refining qualification test after seven days to today! I hope that we can improve everyone's strength with the help of the internal refining secret room in this half month, and then try to win in the competition between the Du Liang and two families in half a month!"
"Boom!"
"Advance internal refining qualification test!
Hearing Du Rutian's words, everyone in the audience was shocked, including Ye Xuan, who was also stunned.
For the disciples in the clan, the qualification of internal refining is something that everyone must have, otherwise it will be absolutely difficult to embark on the path of cultivation in the future, and they can only become ordinary people who do nothing.
And sixteen years old is the time limit for zuihou to obtain the qualification of internal refining, which means that if he has no potential, he will be automatically abandoned by the family.
As for Ye Xuan, this is also his chance, because if he comes back next year after this year, he will not be qualified, even if his strength improves by leaps and bounds, the family will not pay attention to him, this is the family's rules.
At this time, the disciples of the Du family began to churn again, either excitedly or excitedly, and suddenly brought the entire assembly to a climax, and Ye Xuan also showed a look of anticipation.
After going through so much, doing so much, and waiting for so long, Ye Xuan didn't expect this day to come!
I didn't understand anything before, and fifteen years passed in a daze, until Du Rutian decided to give the Gathering Spirit Pill to Ye Xuan to use and was opposed by everyone, Ye Xuan finally understood that the original strength was the most important thing. It's just that the incorruptible person is not subject to the food that comes from the mouth, after Ye Xuan categorically rejected Du Rutian's kindness, he resolutely decided to leave the Du family, and also sent cruel words to everyone, if he did not reach the seventh-order martial qi, he would definitely not come back.
Today, Ye Xuan's promise to himself has finally been fulfilled, and he also wants to prove his strength in front of all the Du family's children, so that everyone knows that Du Rutian's insistence is correct, and let everyone know that he is powerful!
However, this internal refining qualification test is the most haode opportunity, and Ye Xuan will naturally look forward to it.
"Stop!" Du Rutian raised his hand again and waved his hand, and then said, "Okay! Now please invite all the young disciples to Shiyan Hall and prepare for the test!"
After speaking, Du Rutian turned his head to Du Zhentian, Du Batian and the others on the side, and then subconsciously glanced at Ye Xuan, faintly revealing the light of Dao encouragement.
At this time, all the Du family disciples left the scene one after another and rushed to Shiyan Hall.
Shiyan Hall is another important forbidden place for the Du family in addition to the council hall, the inner refining secret room, and the pill storehouse. Under normal circumstances, Shiyando is closed except for the annual internal refining qualification test, which is opened, of course, there are a few exceptions, but there are very few.
The most important thing is that there is a special item for testing strength in Shiyan Hall, and this item has always been in the hands of Xiao Lao, it is said that the strength measured by this item is very close to the strength of the tester itself, and the deviation is also very small, which is also what Xiao Lao will say that Ye Xuan will not do anything on the path of cultivation.
Therefore, the so-called internal refining qualification test is actually just a test of strength. If you don't reach the seventh-order martial qi, you will naturally not be able to pass, and you will not be qualified to enter the inner refining secret room for cultivation.
Of course, for Ye Xuan, he was not worried about cultivation, because he understood that there should be no place where the cultivation speed could be faster than in the celestial space. Now his strength is comparable to that of a second-order martial artist, starting from a first-order martial artist, the first order can stay in the celestial space for one more day, which means that Ye Xuan can now stay in the celestial space for two days. According to the proportion of the flow velocity in the celestial space, two days in the outside can be equivalent to twenty days inside!
Two days of cultivation can be equivalent to twenty days of cultivation for others, which is directly shortened by ten times, how can people not be surprised by such a speed? With such a place, the so-called inner refining secret room would become worthless in Ye Xuan's opinion.
It's just that Ye Xuan knows very well in his heart that if he wants to prove himself, he must use the most direct method, as long as he can enter the inner refining secret room with his own strength, then those contemptuous and cold eyes from before will disappear, and Du Rutian can finally face the other two elders of the Du family with arrogance!
Soon, under the leadership of Du Rutian and others, all the disciples of the Du family came to the door of Shiyan Hall.
Shiyan Hall is very large, although there is only one room, but through the gaps in the doors and windows, you can clearly see that it is the size of a basketball court, but it is empty inside, and it seems to be very deserted.
In fact, this is not surprising, after all, there are few people here, and it is natural that it is dark and deserted.
Walking to the door, Du Rutian glanced at the guards at the door, and the two guards nodded knowingly, and then immediately pushed the door open.
Pushing open the door, a gust of wind blew in the face, mixed with a little dust and musty smell, and many people couldn't help but subconsciously sneeze.
After that, Du Rutian strode towards Shiyan Hall, and the other Du family disciples followed. As for Jiang Yueling and Xiao Yu, they also wanted to join in the fun, and with Du Rutian's consent, they accompanied Ye Xuan and Du Qing to follow in.
Walking into Shiyan Hall, whether it was Ye Xuan or Jiang Yueling, they couldn't help but sigh. The huge shiyan hall was empty, except for a crystal stele placed on the ring and a crystal ruler on the table, there was only a wooden cabinet closed against the wall, and then there was nothing else, not even a table, chair and bench.
And as soon as he walked in, there was an inexplicable chill rushing in, although Ye Xuan himself was a cold spirit body, and he had a cold qi to protect his body, but he could still feel that different coldness. And Ye Xuan was sure that the chill should be emitted by the crystal stone tablet and the crystal ruler on the stage.
After a moment of embarrassment, the disciples began to talk again, pointing back and forth to the crystal stele and the crystal ruler, as if they knew both things very well.
After all the young disciples and some of the Du family's elder protectors had arrived, Du Rutian once again stood in the ring against the wall in the Shiyan Hall, and then said to everyone: "Okay! Now, the Du family's most authoritative law enforcement elder, Elder Xiao, will preside over this test for everyone, and everyone applauds and welcomes!"
As he spoke, Du Rutian took the lead in applauding, and then the audience immediately responded.
At the same time, a white-haired old man slowly walked up from the stage, dressed in a green shirt, fairy wind and bones, his eyes were bright, his ten fingers were slender and wrinkle-free, and he walked steadily like a mountain.
And this old man is the old Xiao in Du Rutian's mouth, and he is also the culprit who once made the Du family completely lose confidence and patience with Ye Xuan, and it was because of his words that Ye Xuan completely became a marginal person of the Du family.
Xiao Lao's real name is Xiao Qingming, and he has always worked in the Du family as a guest of the Du family, and the result is fifty years, which finally made the Du family completely trust him, and became the only elder with a foreign surname outside the Du family. And because Xiao Lao's own strength is also in the realm of seventh-order warriors, except for Du Rutian, Du Zhentian, Du Batian, and the eighth-order warriors such as Du Feng, the genius of the Du family who has never shown up, Xiao Lao is the strongest existence, and his status in the Du family can naturally be seen.
"Ahem!"
Xiao Lao stood on the stage and immediately cleared his throat, and then looked down the stage, Zuihou couldn't help but stay on Ye Xuan's body for more than three seconds, with a look of shock.
Maybe he never thought that Ye Xuan, who he had concluded at the beginning, was now completely different from before in temperament, and he didn't know whether this was an illusion or a fact, and faintly, he began to worry a little in his heart.
However, the so-called ginger is still old and spicy, and he is also an old man of dozens of years, and he has never seen any wind and waves, so after adjusting it slightly, he glanced at Ye Xuan again, then retracted his thoughts, raised his head, and said loudly: "Very good! I am very happy that the old man is presiding over this test again, I believe that many people present have begun to hate the old man!" Haha, that's right, among you, there are many of you who have failed after many tests, but this is nothing, the old man believes that as long as you are willing to cultivate hard, you will definitely succeed!"
"Papapapa~!"
After a round with no specific meaning and no rich cultivation, it attracted the applause and cheers of the Du family's disciples.
In this regard, Ye Xuan just smiled contemptuously and did not care.
Ever since he was able to cultivate and reach the seventh-order martial qi, Ye Xuan began to think that this most authoritative Xiao Lao was actually just a parallel commodity who ate mixed rice, and he was blind to his body after all. Therefore, no matter what he said, Ye Xuan was not cold.
Xiao Lao, who was originally very satisfied when he heard everyone's cheers and applause, after seeing Ye Xuan's disdainful face, he immediately restrained his smile, and then said seriously: "Okay! Without further ado, let's get straight to the point now!" Next, the old man will announce the details and requirements of this test!"
After speaking, the audience suddenly began to whisper again, and it seemed that everyone had their own opinions and understandings about this test process that they were familiar with and could no longer be familiar with.
And Ye Xuan finally showed a curious look, his two eyes stayed on the crystal stone tablet and crystal ruler on the platform, and his intuition told Ye Xuan that these two things were not as simple as decorations.
