Chapter 290: Eye-catching
As a powerhouse who has officially broken through the realm of entering the Dao and can truly call himself a "monk", Qin Shou actually has a very high status in the outer gate of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Among the outer disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect this year, Qin Shou has always been regarded as a popular candidate for the top ten.
In almost all the "top ten" or "inner door candidates" lists selected by good deeds, Qin Shou is on the list.
It can be said that Qin Shou may indeed be inferior to Wang Lu, who is recognized as the strongest in the Ten Thousand Sword Sect this time, but if you look at it from a long-term perspective. The gap between the two sides has not been said to be unattainable. After all, their spiritual path was just beginning. A slight lead in the initiation stage does not determine the level of the two of them in terms of future achievements.
In the history of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, there was never a shortage of geniuses. There are many wonderful geniuses in the stage of initiation, and there are many who can go to the end, but there are also many who are frustrated after reaching a certain stage, and after exhausting their talents, they are stuck in a certain realm, or even killed in a battle and die halfway.
Similarly, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect has never lacked accumulation, and it was unknown in the stage of initiation, but it entered the spiritual realm step by step, achieved the golden pill, crossed the four tribulations in a row, and finally became a true figure.
Otherwise, Qin Shou would not have been favored by the top management of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, allowing him to participate in all kinds of activities related to the inner disciples and giving him the opportunity to fully contact the inner gate of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
suffered a heavy blow at the second level, and Qin Shou was actually a little annoyed in his heart. For him, if everything is in order, he should at least break through the first four rounds of trials and enter the fifth round, and then he will face a tough battle.
However, I didn't expect to encounter an unexpected blow in the second round of trials.
It's all because the guy who came from the road of seeking immortals disturbed his state of mind and disrupted the rhythm of his participation in the trial. If it was not because he was stimulated by him in the last round of trials, he entered the illusion realm in advance, how could he suddenly take half a breath when using the Ten Thousand Yuan Guizong Sword and be taken advantage of by the opponent who was transformed? No, you can't be led by others, you have to return to the original rhythm.
Qin Shou was annoyed, although he put most of the responsibility on He Zhi in his heart, he also had a lot of reflection on his previous performance - Qin Shou was also the best who broke through the Dao realm in the outer gate of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, if he didn't even have the ability to see himself clearly, then he wouldn't be able to go this far.
However, just as Qin Shou stepped aside and just sat down, he saw that the other juniors and disciples around him seemed to be a little distracted. There are even a few of them who are usually friends, and they actually get together and whisper something.
In the trial of the inner door selection, this is a rare thing!
You must know, no matter how deep the friendship of these Golden Sword disciples is when they are outside, in this Great Hall of Trials, they are all opponents!
The selection of the inner door, for them, the outer disciples, is a big test that really determines the life of a lifetime. Each of them is naturally cautious, lest they make even a small mistake and expose their flaws and be caught by others.
Moreover, the more they usually have a close relationship with each other, the less likely they are to talk to each other at such times. Because everyone's performance in the trial is good and bad. If you don't perform well, you will be annoyed, and I am afraid that you will not have the heart to talk to others. If you're doing well, you're going to talk to someone else and you're going to be showing off.
Therefore, in the inner gate trials, these already arrogant Golden Sword disciples would often be even more indifferent than usual.
Such an indifferent group of Golden Sword disciples actually chatted in the Great Hall of Trials! This was something that Qin Shou felt was incredible.
"What the hell happened?" Qin Shou sat on the side, and couldn't help but have some doubts.
The situation in the trial is changing rapidly, and if something big really happens, Qin Shou also needs to know the news. Otherwise, if you miss something, it will be bad.
Fortunately, Qin Shou soon discovered that the things that these Golden Sword disciples were talking about did not seem to be secret, and they did not deliberately want to avoid it. When talking, they just lowered their voices, and did not use the secret method of sound transmission to prevent others from eavesdropping.
Qin Shou pricked up his ears and quickly learned what they were talking about from the mouths of the two junior disciples who were talking not far away.
“...... How long has this trial started? He's already started the fourth round? I've just passed the first round, and I haven't even dared to start the second round yet. ”
"Hmm...... If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. He may become the fastest one in the history of our Ten Thousand Swords Sect to pass the illusion trial?"
"It's incredible......"
Although Qin Shou still focused most of his attention on recovering himself, so he didn't really listen to it, but the intermittent few sentences still let Qin Shou know what those juniors were talking about.
They seem to be saying that someone has passed three rounds of trial illusions with great speed, and now the fourth round of trials has begun?
Wang Lu?Qin Shou immediately had a person in his mind, and then a huge jealousy welled up in his heart.
Among the outer sects of their Ten Thousand Swords Sect this year, Wang Lu was the strongest one. And it's almost a position ahead of the second place, the undisputed strongest!
Under Wang Lu's suppression, the other outstanding disciples in the outer sect of their Ten Thousand Swords Sect could be said to be bleak. In fact, if it was ten years ago, when Wang Lu had not yet started his cultivation, with Qin Shou's current cultivation strength, he might also be a popular figure in the outer sect of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
However, because of the existence of Wang Lu, Qin Shou, who might have become a man of the hour, could only enjoy the feeling of being sought after by everyone in his own small circle. In the entire outer gate of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, there are very few who don't know Wang Lu, but there are many people who don't know that he Qin is guarding.
Besides, Qin Shou is not an idiot. How could Qin Shou not know about the ambiguous things between Senior Sister Zhang and Wang Lu that he was in love with?
Wang Lu ...... Hmph! Qin Shou snorted coldly in his heart, but he pricked up his ears and listened to the two Golden Sword disciples continue.
However, after listening to a few more words, Qin Shou suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Because the two men quickly said, "...... I don't know what his origin is, but he will be faster than Senior Brother Wang Lu! I originally thought that Senior Brother Wang Lu might already be a rare figure in our outer gate for a thousand years. I didn't expect an even more powerful one to pop up here! I don't know how he cultivated and how far he has reached. ”
Isn't it Wang Lu?! Who could it be? Qin Shou couldn't help but show a stunned expression.
To be honest, Qin Shou really didn't expect He Zhi at this time.
The powerful feeling for Wang Lu was accumulated by Qin Shou through hearing and witnessing again and again in his seven or eight years of outer sect cultivation career. This strength left a deep impression on Qin Shou, so when everyone talked about a powerful and invincible figure, Qin Shou almost subconsciously thought of Wang Lu.
As for Ho Zhi...... Although Qin Shou also knew that He Zhi was very powerful, he only lost one game when he fought against He Zhi. There is no essential understanding of He Zhi's strength. Moreover, because He Zhi left the trial space for the second time, he happened to be seen by Qin Shou, so that Qin Shou had a misunderstanding, thinking that He Zhi's performance in the trial space was not good.
So even if everyone denied Qin Shou the candidate of Wang Lu, Qin Shou still didn't think of He Zhi at the first time. In Qin Shou's thoughts, there were also a few people who came out one after another.
These people are also strong among the outer disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. And Qin Shou knew that in order to select the inner disciples this time, it was likely that he had hidden a powerful person.
However, after these names turned around in Qin Shou's heart, they were rejected by Qin Shou again. Because no matter how many people these people hide their hands, they are the outer disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect after all. Everyone is from the same sect, and if you look down and don't look up, you can't say that these companions around you don't even know your own family, right?
But if it weren't for a few of them, who else would it be? Could it be that among the outer gates of our Ten Thousand Swords Sect, there are really people who are so deeply hidden?
However, just when Qin Shou was wondering who would be so powerful that he could overpower Wang Lu.
He Zhi had just finished his fifth round of trials and walked out again. This time in the illusion, He Zhi encountered some trouble. Mainly from the fifth round of trials, the strength of the trial opponents in the illusion has obviously increased by another level.
The opponent arranged for He Zhi in this fantasy trial was actually Zhang Beiwang!
To be honest, He Zhi didn't know why Illusion chose Zhang Beiwang as his opponent - because He Zhi didn't know anything about the exercises that Zhang Beiwang was practicing.
When he was in the Martial Saint Realm, although Zhang Beiwang was also a figure in their small circle, he was always silent. Belongs to the kind of person who only does things and does not speak. It can be said that in addition to the fact that Zhang Beiwang is also good at swordsmanship, He Zhi is quite clear, and He Zhi only realizes that he knows almost nothing about other things in retrospect.
When he first met Zhang Beiwang in the illusion, He Zhi couldn't help but be a little curious, for a person he didn't know so much, this illusion would reflect him as his opponent, how would he arrange his ability?
However, after the two sides began to fight, He Zhi found that before leaving the Martial Saint Realm, Zhang Beiwang finally made a sudden move, and the sword that killed the six princes still left a very deep impression in his memory.
Under the reflection of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's Trial Illusion, the sword that Zhang Beiwang cast was almost restored intact. It's just that the person who bears this sword now has changed from the sixth prince to He Zhi.
Standing in the position of the sixth prince, He Zhi could really feel the fierceness and viciousness in Zhang Beiwang's sword. At the moment when Zhang Beiwang made a move, He Zhi almost failed to react in time.
Zhang Beiwang completely concealed his aura. Moreover, he was using a jet-black long sword, which was almost impossible to detect in the same pitch-black, lightless corridor.
Moreover, the trial illusion of this level is also clearly aimed at the weaknesses in human nature.
When He Zhi passed the trials of the first few levels, he had to walk through a long pitch-black corridor before entering a hall. It was in the hall that he would meet his trial opponent in this level.
However, in this trial, He Zhi didn't see any hall at all. In front of him, there was only a dark corridor. Zhang Beiwang appeared in vain in this dark corridor, and then silently stabbed the earth-shattering sword at He Zhi.
This is also He Zhi, He Zhi, who has advanced one level after entering the Dao, can suddenly perceive the coming crisis from the slight changes in the air flow in the corridor, and only then can he avoid Zhang Beiwang's first blow.
Is it so difficult for the inner disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to select and try? When he dodged Zhang Beiwang's first blow, He Zhi couldn't help but be a little secretly surprised in his heart.
Zhang Beiwang's sword really scared He Zhidu into a cold sweat. He just dodged the general, and even failed to fight back because of the haste of the incident.
Even He Zhi, who entered the Dao with martial arts and possessed the ability of "clear and subtle", was so thrilling, He Zhizhen didn't know how the other outer disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had survived this level!
You know, this is only the fifth level of the illusion trial! To be honest, He Zhi really doesn't believe that the outer disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect can be so powerful, and all of them can get out of Zhang Beiwang's sword safely?
However, He Zhi couldn't find anyone to ask at that time, so he could only keep his doubts in his heart and repeatedly entangled with Zhang Beiwang.
Under the cover of the dark corridor, Zhang Beiwang was still elusive. Keep attacking He Zhi again and again. Every time he made a move, he was like a top-level assassin, attacking from the angle from which He Zhi was the most difficult to guard against and the most negligent, and at the same time, he was always touching and leaving, never dragging his feet. It is precisely because of this that He Zhi was dragged down, and a lot of time and energy was spent in the test of this level.
However, for He Zhi, who is clear and nuanced, what can really pose a threat to him is actually the first sword stabbed by Zhang Beiwang in an unguarded situation.
Since even the most sudden and unexpected first sword failed to cause damage to He Zhi, Zhang Beiwang's attack behind him could only be said to have delayed He Zhi's time and consumed He Zhi's energy.
Zhang Beiwang's attacks again and again were all in vain, but in the end, his action pattern was slowly understood by He Zhi, and finally He Zhi judged his position in advance when he made a move, and killed him with one move.
