Early the next morning.

Hengduan Continental Tianyuan Era, May 24, 2019.

The capital square of the Dragon Teng Empire, the day of the Sword Sect's assessment.

A burst of noisy noise woke up the visitors from all over the world who were awake, and they saw the traffic on the streets of the capital, which was constantly heading towards the direction of the capital square in front of them.

Today is the time for the Sword Sect to recruit disciples, and it is also the most lively and prosperous day in the capital of the Dragon Teng Empire.

At this moment, on both sides of the street leading to the direction of the Imperial Capital Square, every five meters stood the Imperial City troops wearing bright silver armor and holding swords, and they exuded a strong iron and blood aura, and it could be seen that they were all battle-hardened soldiers, standing in place with their heads held high, maintaining the order of the capital.

"Grandpa, hurry up, or you won't be able to catch up. Sikong Haoran urged Sikong Xuan, seeing that he was still there slowly sorting out his clothes, when did he become so fond of dressing up, even Sikong Xuan himself didn't know that these tiny habits were developed by one person during his injury.

"You read the list yesterday, and you were so impatient, today it's just a test of the strength of your soul power, even if you go late, it doesn't matter. Although Sikong Xuan said so, the movements in his hands were also very neat, and he hadn't enjoyed such a lively scene for a long time, and he also missed the time when he traveled the world freely before.

"Haoran, Haoran. Shi Tianshuo, Shi Tiandong, the two brothers and the village chief Shi Xingyuan also happened to walk out of the door, and saw Haoran standing at the door calling for grandpa, shouting loudly at him.

Haoran turned to look in the direction of the three of them, beckoned to the two Shi Tianshuo brothers, and saw his grandfather coming out of the room, so he pulled him in the direction of the staircase.

"Hello Grandpa Shi. ”

"Hello Grandpa Sikong. ”

After entering the imperial capital yesterday, several of them wandered together, and finally found a cost-effective inn to live in, originally Sikong Xuan didn't want to be so troublesome, but seeing that Haoran and Shi Tianshuo's brothers got along well, they agreed to his request.

"Haoran, I heard that there are many masters here this time, who are more powerful than our village chief, let's go quickly, and we won't be able to catch up if we slow down. Obviously, Shi Tianshuo and his brothers were also very excited, it was the first time to see so many people and such a prosperous capital city when they were so big.

"This kid is neither big nor small. Shi Xingyuan looked at Shi Tianshuo and said angrily, "Brother Xuan, I made you laugh." ”

Sikong Xuan smiled and said to Shi Xingyuan: "Let's go too, otherwise the three of them will leave you and me behind, ha... Hah!"

Imperial Capital Square, this is the place where the Dragon Teng Empire selects outstanding talents every year, since the Sword Sect set the place for selecting disciples here, this square has expanded more than ten times compared to the original. At this time, the square of the imperial capital city was crowded with people, and the sound of each other was as deafening as thunder.

At the very front of the capital square, there is a stone step, the highest part of the stone step has a very spacious place, at this time there is a noble and luxurious long line of red sandalwood seats, the seat is covered with layers of pure white fur, in front of the seat is placed a table made of golden silk nan ebony, on which are divided into various rare fruits and wines, on the left side of the long row of red sandalwood seats, a separate seat is placed, which is unique.

Behind this noble and luxurious long row of red sandalwood seats, it is divided into eight areas, six of which are occupied by the six major families of the Dragon Teng Empire, in order of order, the Murong family, the Leng family, the Qiu family, the Du family, the Ye family, and the Yun family. The patriarchs of the six major families were already sitting in their respective areas, and behind them stood a young man between the ages of twelve and fifteen, the proud sons of the heavens who participated in the selection of the Sword Sect.

The patriarchs of the six major families were greeting each other, among which Murong Tianyu, the patriarch of the Murong family, was surrounded and flattered by the major families, for no other reason, because the mother of the Longteng Empire was Murong Tianyu's daughter, Murong Wushuang.

At this moment, a group of people wearing cyan caftan and embroidered with a sword pattern on the left sleeve walked to the highest part of the square, led by a middle-aged man with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a righteous body, and the aura exuded from his body from time to time was slightly wrinkled in the space around him, and the people who came were Ye Chaoyang and a few people.

"The Sword Sect is a member of the Sword Sect. ”

"Their clothes are so beautiful. ”

"I've decided, I must join the Sword Sect!"

Just when Ye Chaoyang and the others walked to the top of the square, the bottom was like popcorn blowing up the pot, the hustle and bustle was endless, and everyone who wanted to join the Sword Sect showed envy and excitement, and they were inexplicably excited to be so close to the people of the Sword Sect for the first time.

"The lord of the kingdom has arrived. ”

At the same time that they were happy and excited. A five-clawed purple-gold dragon wearing a purple and gold robe, trimmed with red and gold threads, and two clouds and mist on his chest, came to life. Around the waist is inlaid with jade ribbon, on which hangs a piece of simple black jade, long black hair is high bound in a purple gold crown, handsome cheeks like a knife, eyes are full of majesty, not angry and self-threatening.

The person who came was Long Tianze, the lord of the Longteng Empire, and next to her was Murong Wushuang, the mother of the current country. The skin is like clotted fat, smiling and smiling, wearing a pale pink dress, long and sloping to the ground, the thin waist is restrained by a cloud belt, which is more exquisite, and a seven-treasure coral hairpin in the hair, reflecting the face like a hibiscus.

as well as the ministers and royal relatives who accompanied him in the rear.

"Meet the Lord of the Nation, the Mother of the Nation. "All the people in the Longteng Empire knelt on the ground, all of them were convinced, but there were also a few people present who did not pay homage, including Sikong Xuanye and his grandson.

The Sword Sect belonged only slightly bowed, and Ye Chaoyang nodded towards Long Tianze.

Long Tianze looked at the few people who did not pay homage, a little curious, a soul power probed towards a few people, and when he wandered on Sikong Xuan's body, he found that his vast soul power was like falling into an abyss, pitch black.

Long Tianze showed a look of shock, he was the soul power of the Spiritual Realm Perfection Realm, if he wanted to isolate it, it must be at least above the Heavenly Realm, thinking of this, the expression of surprise on his face was even worse.

He took a deep look at the old man in coarse linen, except for the white hair and beard, there was no trace of mystical fluctuations. Long Tianze didn't dare to make a mistake, but all those who were strong had a very strange temper, so he nodded slightly at him, ordered a few words to the people around him, and sat on the noble and luxurious Changxing Rosewood Chair with Murong Wushuang, holding a wine glass and signaling in the direction of the patriarchs of the six major families, the royal family, and the ministers.

Once he has developed a curiosity about a person, he will be deeply attracted to that person until he knows everything about him thoroughly. Sometimes, however, this curiosity will not bring you any surprises, but will lead to endless disasters.

"Hello everyone, I am Ye Chaoyang, the fourth elder of the Sword Sect, and I am also the person in charge of recruiting disciples in the Dragon Teng Empire this time. With a hint of soul coercion and sword intent in his words, Ye Chaoyang walked towards the crowd of people and the boiling crowd in the square, and the originally noisy sea of people gradually became silent.

"I'm glad that you have come from thousands of miles away to participate in the selection of the disciples of the Sword Sect, and I am here to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the Sword Sect. In the 50,000 years since the founding of the sect, the ancestor of the Sword Sect has always followed a purpose, that is, 'to establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a life for all people, to continue to learn for the saints, and to open peace for all generations.' We have always enshrined this purpose as the supreme decree, and we have never forgotten the teachings of our ancestors,... ... That's why I'm here today, and I hope you can get a good result. Ye Chaoyang's impassioned speech ignited the fighting spirit of most of the cultivators below, but some of them scoffed.

At any time, there will be a part of people who will disagree with you and disagree with you, whether right or wrong.

I saw that after Ye Chaoyang finished speaking, he squeezed his eyebrows in the direction of Long Tianze, the lord of the Dragon Teng Empire, Long Tianze smiled helplessly at him, since he came, he would definitely not be able to escape, so he stood up and walked towards Ye Chaoyang.

At the moment when the lord of the country got up, the audience was boiling, and Long Tianze raised his hand and said: "Everyone, when I see you, I think of myself when I was young, full of vigor and high morale. Long Tianze continued: "However, the strong people in the Hengduan Continent are respected, and if we want to be feared and respected by others, and dare not be bullied, then we must make ourselves stronger." Destiny is in your own hands, dare to challenge fate, in order to master your own life, people have to give up, will be successful. This selection is full of danger, full of death, but also full of opportunities, if you are timid and afraid, it is too late for you to leave. ”

"We're not afraid!"

"Death?"

There was a burst of noise below, some people were excited, some people were pale, although they already knew that there would be danger, but they still inevitably hesitated to hear it with their own ears, but for most people, danger is just a stepping stone.

"Good luck to you, I congratulate you on the end of the assessment. ”

Long Tianze looked at Ye Chaoyang, revealing an expression that you know, and walked towards Murong Wushuang.

Ye Chaoyang looked at the crowd in the capital square and said, "The time for the Sword Sect to recruit disciples is ten days, with a total of three tests, and one day of rest after each test. The first assessment of soul power lasts for two days. The second assessment of resilience and willpower lasts for two days. The third assessment is in the secret realm of the Dragon Empire, the time is three days, and you will naturally know what the specific assessment will be, and you will naturally know on the day of the assessment. Now the first soul power assessment will begin, and the assessment criteria will be displayed on the enchantments in each area, so please follow the order of the assessment. ”

As Ye Chaoyang announced the start of the assessment, the elders and disciples of the Sword Sect, as well as the assistants of the Imperial Capital, were already waiting for their arrival in the assessment place.

The capital square is divided into several areas, each area is covered by a transparent barrier, there are two assessors in the barrier, I saw two people sitting on a stone bench, in front of the two is a square stone table, on which is placed a semi-circular pitch-black round stone, this is the "soul stone" used to test the soul power, in addition to testing the strength of the soul power, it can also test the age of a person's root bones. and the glowing "Lingering Stone", which records the appearance and name of each tester.

In the blank space of each regional enchantment, the first criterion for soul power assessment appeared: "Leave one to five sword patterns on the 'Soul Stone', which are the primary soul power of the mortal realm, six to ten sword patterns, which are the intermediate soul power of the mortal realm, and eleven to fifteen sword patterns are the soul power of the mortal realm,... ... By analogy, each level is based on five sword patterns, and those who leave sword lines will pass, and those who do not leave sword lines will be eliminated. ”
