No matter what world you are in, exams are the most daunting thing. Especially for ordinary students like Xu Ming.

Xu Ming was a little speechless for a moment after looking at the freshly released list of local characters and his ranking of 77th place characters.

After saying that, the outer disciples are all ranked from the herringbone list? After saying that, the list is a comprehensive ranking that combines academic performance and battle records? You can't feel that you are powerful just because you broke through the realm at the earliest! Xu Ming's heart at this time seemed to have 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by.

"Is it because of my identity and junior sister that they deliberately complimented me?" Xu Ming carefully looked at the list again. Chen Yuting, the name of the second prince of Liangguo is impressively listed: No. 4 on the herringbone list.

"That's wrong, why, I didn't take the first exam, and I didn't have any great records, so why did I go on the list. For the first time in his life, Xu Ming, an ordinary student, was distressed by his grades being too good, and he was not pretending.

"Awesome, Senior Brother Chen, I didn't see that you are so powerful!" the little fat man patted him on the shoulder fiercely, "I will rely on you to cover me in the future!"

Senior Du Yicheng also came to join in the fun: "I didn't expect Senior Brother Xu to be such a humble person! ”

Even Guan Chunuan came: "Wow, the senior is so strong! You have to protect me in the future!" Xu Ming looked at the Tianzi list: the first on the Tianzi list, Xu Ziyuan, and the second on the Tianzi list, Guan Chunuan. Lost in thought.

Tang Jinling, the only one who knew how many catties and taels Xu Ming had, was very surprised: "How did you buy off the elders and deacons on the list?"

"This is slander, it's slander!" Xu Ming looked at the "Ziyang Sect Talent Ranking (Latest Revised Edition)" that made him uncomfortable, and shouted helplessly and painfully: "I want to defend my rights, I want to go to them!"

Xu Ming washed his face, opened the door, and walked towards Breaking Sky Peak. The sun fell on him as if it had put on a robe of war for him.

"What do the elders say?" Tang Jinling looked at Xu Ming, who was slowly returning in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the long shadow lay in front of him like a blunted sword.

Xu Ming walked back to the grass hut, lit the candle, and said with a little helplessness in his tone: "The elders said that the selection of this list not only includes the usual results and actual combat records, but also the evaluation of a series of invisible data including background foreign aid. They said that with my identity as the future uncle of Dajing, I should have some magic weapons in my hand as hole cards, as well as my relationship with Guan Chunuan's junior sister, which led to my high implicit score. And they said that they did find a very strong aura fluctuation on my body, and I think it should be my sword that Gao Da Zhuang gave me. ”

Tang Jinling was also puzzled: "Can your identity in the Dajing Dynasty and your relationship with Guan Zhunuan be counted?"

"Because the elders say that connections are also part of strength. Xu Ming shook his head, "If I had agreed with this sentence before." ”

"It's okay, if the rating is too high, it's too high, and there's nothing wrong with it. Tang Jinling comforted him, "It's a big deal that when the sect competes, he will pretend to be sick, and it is understandable that he didn't play well." ”

Xu Ming didn't feel much better: "What should I do in the future? I can't stop seeing people." Is it like to be killed?"

After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Ming decided to use the most unpretentious method to let everyone, including himself, recognize himself: relying on his own strength in the sect competition, he fell back into the herringbone list with dignity.

This is the easiest way, but it is also the hardest. No one doesn't love flowers and applause, even if they weren't meant to be yours.

The days slipped away quietly, and soon came to the day of the sect's big competition.

Just like the final exam in the original world, everyone attaches great importance to it, the elders and deacons are busy setting up the venue, the disciples of the sect are busy practicing magic powers, and even Guan Chunuan is less here, listening to her, the speech of the sect master needs her to help write it!

"This daughter is really her father's little padded jacket, and she can even help write speeches. Xu Ming suddenly sighed, and even pondered in his heart what name his daughter should take.

The sect competition is divided into three sessions in total, and the outer disciples, inner disciples, and core true disciples each participate in different sessions, and the content of the competition is also different.

The core disciples are ranked through competition, while the outer disciples need to take a theoretical test first, and then demonstrate the technique, and the top 100 in the last two items are eligible to enter the actual combat competition.

And the most interesting and thrilling thing about the big competition of the sect is the competition of the inner disciples. The inner disciples will then be sent to a small secret realm unique to the Ziyang Sect to engage in real battles. In the secret realm, the conditions for customs clearance are different every time, sometimes it is looking for something, and sometimes it is similar to Xu Ming's shrinking circle of eating chicken in his previous life. Anyway, it's exciting for people who play inside and people who watch outside. It is even said that there is a senior brother, who is obviously very powerful, and he is about to become an immortal, and he can become an elder, and he deliberately ranks tenth in the inner gate Dabi every time, just to be able to enter the secret realm once a year to play.

"This score control is too ruthless, isn't it, can't this be blocked for him?" Xu Ming was very surprised when he heard this story for the first time, and even had a feeling of eagerness to try.

That was a long time ago, and Senior Brother Little Fat quietly looked around for a while before continuing: "It is said that the hero of the story is Elder Taishang, Elder Ni!"

Xu Mingle said: "Dare to love this elder Taishang for thousands of years, but he is not close to women, but he likes to play games!

Of course, the competition between the inner disciples is not Xu Ming's turn to care now, and Xu Ming's "Introduction to the Principles of Cultivating Immortals and the System of Spiritual Power" still has more than half of it memorized.

After the Sect Master of the Ziyang Sect and the only two Jinxian Guan Shan Yue of the Ziyang Sect made an opening speech, the annual sect competition began.

The first test was the theoretical knowledge of the outer disciples.

Although Xu Mingshu couldn't memorize it completely, with his solid nonsense skills in his previous life, he still wrote the volume to the fullest. There is still a good thing about cultivating immortals, that is, there is no science, any exam questions can be nonsense, Xu Ming even felt that if he gave himself a little time, he could write a book of "Cultivation Overview" by himself.

At the end of the theory exam, the following is a demonstration of the spells, to put it bluntly, it is to use a few spells to show the elders, and the elders will score them according to the casting time, visual effects, and actual lethality. Xu Ming's spiritual foundation is solid, his spiritual power is strong, and the demonstration of magic is certainly not a problem.

Soon the results of the first two items came out, and Xu Ming ranked 7th. It's not bad, of course, it's not very good, at least it's not enough for the level of the word list. Chen Yuting, who ranked first in the first two results, is only 4th on the herringbone list.

Xu Ming breathed a sigh of relief at this time: "It's okay, it's not too bad, but it can also let everyone know that I am actually not qualified to enter the list." ”

The competition of the outer disciples was about to be finalized, but there was a sudden commotion in the judges' seat - it was two elders who were fighting, and there was an answer sheet in front of them.

"I think this question is answered very well, the logic is rigorous, the thinking is thorough, and there are my own unique opinions, why is such a novel answer only given 1 point, I suggest that this question be given 10 points!" A pitiful, thin-looking elder with little hair turned red with anger and pointed angrily at the person in front of him.

The elder in front of him looked a little more rounded, short and fat looked like Zhang Gangsheng's father, and at this time, the elder was also flushed: "This is obviously written blindly, the logic is rigorous there? It doesn't make sense at all, give him a point or look at the fact that he has written so many words, if you want me to read it, I can't give a point!"

The thin Mediterranean was anxious, and grabbed the fat elder's neck: "You are inflexible and stubborn, you can't teach a good disciple like this!"

The fat man was also anxious, and stretched out his hand to grab Mediterranean's hair, but unfortunately he didn't grab it, and he became excited: "You don't have a few hairs and still want to be flexible! Flexibility is not blind writing, innovation is not random editing! You are like this, the sect must have a miasma!"

The noise gradually attracted the attention of everyone present, and even the sect master rushed to hear the news.

"Elder Wang, Elder Zhou, what's the matter with the quarrel between the two?" When the sect master asked them to pull them apart, a hidden button on the fat man's neck fell off, and his clothes were instantly propped open, revealing a white undershirt;

The two of them looked at each other viciously, and said to the sect master: "We have a dispute over the evaluation of a test paper, please ask the sect master to decide." ”

"Oh?" Guan Shanyue picked up the test paper in front of the two of them with great interest, until he saw the name on the paper: Xu Ming.

Guan Shanyue secretly cursed in his heart: "This kid!" He took a deep breath and calmed down to look at Xu Ming's test paper.

At first glance, Xu Ming's test paper is full of writing, and the handwriting is quite neat, which is pleasing to the eye. But after careful consideration, I found that some of the answers were a little too out-of-the-box, but although these answers seemed to be out of order, when I read them carefully, I felt that there was a bit of an unpredictable deep meaning.

Guan Shanyue had never seen such an answer, and he had no idea for a while. He looked at the two elders who were still attacking each other with their eyes, and then at Xu Ming, who was looking at him with a confused expression not far away. Guan Shanyue sighed, already having an idea in his heart.

"Due to the change in the score at the time of the review just now, there has also been a slight change in the score ranking of the outer disciples. An elder flew out of the judges' seat and came to the middle of the disciples: "Xu Mingyuan was ranked 7th, and now he has risen to 5th, the original 5th and 6th places have been reduced by one in order, and the rest remain unchanged." ”

When Xu Ming was still confused, Guan Shanyue had already returned to his position. He looked at Guan Chunuan, who was sitting next to him, and said angrily: "Your baby Xu Ming is really a non-stop master!"

Guan Chunuan was a little unhappy: "What's wrong with him?" ”

Guan Shanyue shook his head: "Wang Qian and Elder Zhou Zijun quarreled over his test papers, so I could only go and make a peacemaker for him and give him four extra points." ”

Guan Chunuan pouted, and even felt a little proud: "You are the sect master, you should have done this thing in the first place!" And the two elders quarreled for him to show that he was excellent." ”

Guan Shanyue watched his baby daughter, who had been raised for twenty years, spare no effort to help other men speak, and instantly felt as bad as eating that.

"Dad, I'll go see Xu Ming!" Guan Chunuan ran away, without even asking Guan Shanyue's meaning, she just greeted him to inform him. Guan Shanyue looked at the bright June sky, and suddenly felt chills all over his body, and his hands trembled.
