"Yes!"

Ma Ruyun responded and stood up proudly.

He was also fifteen or sixteen years old, but his figure was stronger and stronger than his peers, wearing a set of high-grade martial arts robes, cowhide shoes under his feet, hard leather waist guards, leather wrist guards on his arms, and a standard middle-level martial artist's attire.

On the martial arts training ground, Ma Ruyuan knocked down the stone pile with his fist.

Then holding a steel knife, the figure was churning, the leaves were hiding flowers, and the two butterflies were flying, one move after another, and it was extremely smooth.

There are only two items in the strength appraisal of the Beilu Academy, one is to prove that he has the strength of the sixth layer of the refining period, and the other is to prove that his martial arts have reached the intermediate level. As long as these two points are proven, the appraisal can be passed.

Ma Ruyuan's strength is obvious, and he quickly passed the assessment.

"Ma Ruyuan! The strength is six hundred catties, reaching the sixth-layer strength of the refining period! Certified!"

Li Cang said loudly.

"Senior Brother Ma is too strong!

"Senior Brother Ma has broken through the sixth layer of the refining period in just eight months, and has also refined the 'Eight Gates Golden Lock Knife', this is definitely the fastest cultivation speed in the Beilu Academy for decades!

Many young students who have a good relationship with Ma Ruyuan cheered loudly and cheered.

"Don't look at who I Ma Ruyuan is! Eight months to cultivate from the fourth layer of the body refining period to the sixth layer of the body refining period is just a small meaning, it won't take long for me to cultivate to the ninth layer of the body refining stage and become a town-level swordsman. After this graduation assessment, I will go back to Wangcheng. This Beilu Academy is too small to find a few decent opponents. Wangcheng is where my Ma Ruyuan can display his skills, and sooner or later my Ma Ruyuan will become the strongest martial artist in Wangcheng!"

Ma Ruyuan passed the strength appraisal, and several of his close brothers laughed, and his loud voice did not hide his arrogance.

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted sideways glances and disgust among the more than 200 students, "Even if you are from a wealthy family of the Ma family of the Martial Kingdom, you don't have to be so arrogant!" "Among our group of students, many of them are children of other wealthy families in the Martial Kingdom, and we have never seen such arrogance and unrestrainedness. ”

Ye Chen listened to Ma Ruyuan's words, but he didn't have any special feelings. A commoner child like him has long been accustomed to seeing the high-flying and domineering children of wealthy families in the academy.

"Who is this Ma Ruyuan, why is he so arrogant? Could it be that the students of Beilu Academy are all fanatics?"

Zheng Zhicheng, who was watching not far away, changed his face slightly and frowned.

Dean Tao was also secretly anxious, but he didn't expect Ma Ruyuan to be open-mouthed and inadvertently offend Zheng Zhicheng, who had just come from King Wu.

"Ma Ruyuan is a descendant disciple of the Ma family, one of the five wealthy families of the Martial Kingdom, and his father Ma Bai is a first-class general who protects the country and is a peak master of martial arts. Ma Ruyuan was promoted from the lower court to the upper court seven months ago, and his cultivation reached the sixth level of the body refining stage, and his martial arts talent was quite outstanding. In the last ten years of my academy, Ma Ruyuan should be the fastest cultivating martial artist. He, a young man, was arrogant and inevitably a little impulsive. ”

Dean Tao thought for a moment, and Yuanchang said.

"It turned out to be the nouveau riche of the Ma family! The Ma family has only risen in the martial arts country for decades, and they dare to boast of being the strongest, which is really unbelievable. ”

Zheng Zhicheng snorted coldly and dismissively. He is the youngest and most outstanding martial artist in the capital of the Martial King, and when he is a personal disciple of the national teacher, sooner or later he will break through the Yuan Shen and become an immortal cultivator and worship the great sect of the Immortal Gate. The son of a mere general, who has cultivated to the sixth level of the body refining stage in eight months, what is so strange.

After Ma Ruyuan passed the appraisal, more than a dozen students passed the strength appraisal of the academy one after another.

Of course, there are also many students who have failed, either they are still a little short of the sixth layer of the body refining period, or they are not up to the level of mid-level martial arts.

The more Zheng Zhicheng looked at it, the more bored he became, and he kept shaking his head.

It wasn't until another powerful martial artist in the academy, Wei Xuanyu, appeared.

Zheng Zhicheng's eyes lit up, and he nodded in praise.

"The martial arts of all the senior brothers and sisters are really strong, and there are so many changes in moves!"

Ye Chen's eyes were firmly fixed on every student on the field, and he saw that there were not many opportunities for the students of the academy to take out their ability to press the bottom of the box, this was a great opportunity to learn from experience.

Ye Chen has not been on the field.

Most of the students in the upper courtyard are his senior brothers and sisters, and only when others have been appraised can he be qualified to go on the field for strength appraisal.

Three hours passed.

"Now a total of forty-seven people have passed the strength appraisal of the academy, thirty-four have failed the appraisal, and the rest have not been identified. Is there anyone else who wants to conduct a strength appraisal? If not, the strength appraisal of the Beilu Academy will end here in the middle of this year. ”

Chief Instructor Li Cang said loudly to the students.

"Chief Sect Leader, disciple Ye Chen, willing to give it a try!"

Ye Chen, who was in the middle of the phalanx, stepped out of the queue and interrupted the words of the head of Li Cang.

"You?"

Li Cang was slightly stunned, obviously not impressed by Ye Chen. But he quickly recalled that the student who asked him for instructions a few months ago to go to the North Foot Mountain was not the kid in front of him!

"Didn't you go to Beilu Mountain to cultivate, and you came back so soon? I remember that you were only promoted to the upper court for five or six months, what are you doing here?"

Sect Chief Li's face suddenly became gloomy, and he scolded sharply.

The failure of this kid's strength appraisal is a trivial matter, and in front of the guests personally accompanied by Dean Tao, it is a big matter to lose the face of Beilu Academy. Let the guests think that there is no one in the Beilu Academy, and let a low-level disciple of the lower courtyard come to make up for it.

More than 200 students in the upper courtyard looked at Ye Chen who stood up in unison, full of doubts.

Many students are very unfamiliar with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was only promoted to the upper courtyard half a year ago, and stayed in the academy for two or three months. Then he went to the northern foot mountain range, cultivating in the mountains for several months, and rarely got along with these upper courtyard students.

"He seems to have been promoted to the House of Lords six months ago!"

"What!! he just entered the Upper Courtyard half a year ago, and he actually dared to participate in the graduation assessment! We have been cultivating for several years, but we have not cultivated to the sixth level of the body refining stage. He's a civilian student, and after only six months of work, he wants to pass the strength assessment of Beilu Academy?"

"Ma Ruyuan is the son of Ma Bai, the great general of the Protector of the Country, and the son of the Ma family, one of the five powerful families of the Martial Kingdom, so he can reach the sixth layer of the body refining period in just eight months!

"Senior Brother Ma, it seems that someone wants to challenge you! he has only been cultivating for six months, will you feel the pressure?"

Many young students laughed loudly.

"This kid is willing to make a fool of himself, so let him try!"

Ma Ruyuan didn't mind, but laughed with a few close brothers beside him.

Li Cang, the head of the upper court, reprimanded him, but did not let Ye Chen go back.

"Chief Sect Leader, disciple Ye Chen, willing to give it a try!"

Ye Chen lowered his eyes, clenched his slightly trembling fist, looked at the ground, stood in place with a blank expression, and repeated what he had just said.

No one could see it, and in the depths of his cold gaze, anger burned with anger.

Ten years on, there has never been less such contempt and ridicule.

He is just an obscure little civilian at the bottom of the Beilu Academy, who has been cultivating in the Beilu Academy for ten years, desperately earning money to cultivate, earning a meager income of dozens of copper plates all year round, practicing while doing the hardest and most tiring work, and competing with the brothers and sisters of the wealthy families of the academy.

A low-level civilian martial artist like him was not a minority among the more than 1,000 students in the lower courtyard of the academy, and most of them were still struggling in the first to third floors of the early stage of martial arts, eager to one day break through the promotion and become a more noble upper academy student.

Those children of wealthy families will never be able to understand the hardships and sorrows, and anger of a low-level warrior like him.

But even if it was so difficult, Ye Chen did not complain. All the hardships and hardships he has experienced in the past ten years have made him feel more strong in his heart, and he has caught up with the strength of other students with his own hands.

Li Cang seemed to feel the unflinching in Ye Chen's words, and couldn't help but feel a little tricky, and glanced at Dean Tao's face.

"Dean Tao, since everyone has come forward, let him play! I'm afraid that he will lose the face of your Beilu Academy?" Zheng Zhicheng waved his hand indifferently, and after looking at it for a few hours, he was feeling bored, and it was not bad to have an accident.

Dean Tao was helpless, motioned to Li Cang, and let Ye Chen play.

"Ye Chen, start the strength appraisal! The first project is to break the stone pile. This special stone pile can withstand the basic strength of six hundred catties, which can only be achieved by a sixth-layer martial artist in the refining period. If you don't have enough strength. ”

Li Cang explained in a deep voice word by word, but he hadn't finished yet.

Ye Chen took a step forward and came to a hard stone pile directly in front of him, and suddenly swept out with one leg, "Boom!" The stone pile broke under the heavy blow and flew out four or five feet away. Ye Chen landed on one knee and slowly stood up.

On the noisy martial arts training ground, there was silence for a moment.

Li Cang, the head of the Upper Academy, looked at this scene, swallowed back the words that had not been finished just now, "Ye Chen! The basic leg method, the strength is six hundred catties, and the cultivation is six layers in the body refining period!"
