"Why is General Feng willing to help me?" Zhou Yuan asked.

With the predatory absorption of the Gathering Yuan Array and the Ten Thousand Transformation Holy Method's domineering spiritual energy, he was confident that he would fully recover his true qi before the second assessment in the afternoon.

However, General Feng didn't know this, and was willing to send a high-grade Huiqi Pill at this time, which was undoubtedly an act of sending charcoal in the snow.

The black-armored sergeant smiled, "General Feng is very optimistic about you and thinks that you have a bright future. ”

Zhou Yuan suddenly realized that General Feng was recruiting him and Qingmei.

After the disciples of the Spirit Academy left the Spirit Academy, if they stayed in Baicheng, the Scale Horse Cavalry was indeed an excellent choice.

Moreover, following the scale horse cavalry into the Meteorite Mountain Range to hunt demon beasts has more opportunities to obtain resources, and the improvement of strength is faster than staying in Baicheng to retreat and practice.

Seeing that Zhou Yuan did not refuse, the black armor sergeant smiled and continued:

"General Feng doesn't mean to force you to join the Scaly Horse Cavalry now, what you have to do now is to prepare well for the second round of assessment in the afternoon. ”

"However, with your strength, there is definitely no problem in passing the assessment and entering the inner courtyard. When you get to the inner courtyard, you always have to take on tasks, so you might as well take more tasks from our scale cavalry when the time comes. ”

"Moreover, even if you join our scale cavalry, you don't need to stay in the barracks like us, as long as you follow us when you are on some missions. ”

"Can the scale cavalry be so free?" Zhou Yuan was surprised.

The Scaly Horse Cavalry, the patron saint of the White City, was disciplined enough to allow such a casual situation to occur.

"Of course, people from the spiritual academy are always a little different from ordinary sergeants. The black-armored sergeant was very optimistic about Zhou Yuan, patted him on the shoulder and said, "General Feng is very optimistic about you, so it doesn't hurt to talk to you more." ”

"In the late stage of qi refining, you can have a strength of fifteen thousand catties, and you are also a genius in the spirit courtyard, and a genius will always have some privileges. A genius like you, not only will we be the scale cavalry in the future, but the city lord will also find a way to recruit you, and the inner court will also try its best to keep you, and the dean may really accept you as a personal disciple, just like that Southern Dragon. ”

"General Feng was also very optimistic about Nan Jinglong before, but unfortunately he was preempted by the dean. The black-armored sergeant sighed a little.

"Southern Dragon......

Hearing this name, Zhou Yuan couldn't help but change his expression.

Three years ago, when the dean of the Spiritual Academy intended to accept him as a disciple, he was moved.

But since he lost to the Southern Shocking Dragon, this matter has been gone.

Nan Jinglong was accepted by the dean as a personal disciple, Zhou Yuan couldn't help but be vigilant, what did Nan Jinglong do, how much did the dean know?

The dean of the Spiritual Academy, the lord of the White City, and the guard of the White City were uneven.

These three people also represent the three major forces of the White City, the Spiritual Courtyard, the City Lord's Mansion and the Scale Horse Cavalry.

If he had to make a choice, if it was three years ago, Zhou Yuan would not have the slightest hesitation to choose the Spirit Academy, but now he is more inclined to the scale horse cavalry.

"I'll think about it. Zhou Yuan responded.

"Haha, that's good. I still have the military around, so I won't bother much. The black armor sergeant smiled heartily and patted Zhou Yuan's shoulder before leaving: "Do well in the second round in the afternoon." ”

......

At noon, the major restaurants were particularly lively, and the people who had watched the assessment talked about the four people who stood out in the first round with relish, especially Zhou Yuan.

In a private room on the second floor of Songhe Tower, Yuan Fan listened to the discussion outside the door, and his eyes became more and more gloomy.

Sitting beside him was the elder Yuan Zhong, the dean of the spiritual courtyard.

At this moment, Yuan Zhong was respectfully toasting a young man.

"Uncle Zhong, I heard that in the first round of the Inner Court assessment today, with the strength of Yuan Fan's cousin, he only won the second place. Yuan Tianhao played with the wine glass in his hand and asked with a smile.

"Although Yuan Fan's cousin is from a side lineage, he has outstanding talents, and he is a leader among the younger generations of the Yuan family. ”

Yuan Zhong is an elder, but he is deferential to the only son of the city lord like a house slave, and Yuan Fan is not even qualified to speak.

"Young Master Hao said with a smile, Yuan Fan's little cultivation is nothing in front of Young Master Hao. ”

In the face of Yuan Zhong's compliment, Yuan Fan just smiled slightly, but his tone was cold: "No matter what, Yuan Fan is a member of my Yuan family." At the age of fifteen, he can participate in the inner court assessment with the cultivation of the ninth layer of qi refining, and if he can't get the first place, it will be a little too much. ”

"If you invest too many resources in Yuan Fan in the future, other uncles will also have opinions. ”

Yuan Fan's face changed, but Yuan Zhong's face remained the same, and said: "Young Master Hao, don't worry, the first round of assessment was lucky enough for that kid to get the first place, but the assessment from the second round is more suitable for Yuan Fan's swordsmanship." ”

"Moreover, that kid consumed most of his true qi in the first round, and I deliberately set the assessment for the afternoon, so how much strength can he exert at that time?"

"That's fine. Yuan Tianhao's eyes flashed with light, and he took a sip of the wine in the cup.

......

The second round of assessment in the afternoon is set in the wooden man maze.

The fifty disciples of the Spirit Academy who passed the first round of assessment were all given a transmission talisman from the boy.

Inner Dean Yuan Zhong stood on the high platform, his gaze swept over the fifty disciples below, and said loudly:

"Being able to pass the first round means that your true qi cultivation has entered the realm of the late stage of qi refining. But the path of cultivation is not smooth sailing, in the spiritual courtyard there is a teacher to shelter you from the wind and rain, out of the spiritual courtyard, you can only rely on yourself. ”

"Therefore, this second round of assessment is actual combat!"

"You will be placed in various parts of the labyrinth, and you will have to find your way out. In addition, there are wooden puppets arranged by the disciples of the inner courtyard in the labyrinth, and they are distributed in various places in the labyrinth like you, and each wooden puppet has a strength comparable to that of the late stage of qi refining. ”

"In addition to finding a way out of the labyrinth, you have to defeat these wooden puppets, and the more wooden puppets you defeat, the better your results. ”

"The wooden maze is not as good as the first round of assessment, even if there are inner court disciples and deacons to take care of it, it is inevitable to encounter danger. If you think that your strength is not enough to deal with the wooden puppet, activate the messenger assigned to you and exit early to avoid injury. ”

"The second round of the inner courtyard assessment, the wooden maze, starts after a stick of incense. ”

After introducing the rules, Yuan Zhong said no more.

Because of the standing position according to the first round, it was Zhou Yuan, Li Qingmei, Lin Caiwei, Yuan Fan and Song Rui who stood in the first row.

Yuan Fan glanced at Zhou Yuan, snorted coldly, and left without saying much.

Instead, Lin Caiwei faced Zhou Yuan and said, "Zhou Yuan, the first round of strength assessment is not my strong point. ”

"I don't know what opportunity you got, you broke through from the fourth layer of qi refining to the late stage of qi refining in three months, but you must not even have had time to practice martial arts and spells. The wooden man maze is extremely dangerous, not as good as the first round, and you'd better quit in time to avoid injury. ”
