In the woods.

Xiao Yao sat under the tree with a decadent expression, his heart was very depressed, he didn't know why his strength had continued to decline in the past half a month, and his limbs had become weak and weak, it wouldn't take long to go on like this, it was estimated that he couldn't even lift a bucket of water, this feeling was worse than death.

Sighing, Xiao Yao took out the "Nine Palaces Pulse Diagram" from his arms, since he couldn't practice martial arts, he could only pin his last hope on this secret book, after all, this is his father's favorite thing, maybe it can be of some use to himself.

After a while, Xiao Yao sat cross-legged, his hands were sealed, and he began to cultivate according to the first picture.

Xiao Yao was overjoyed at the same time, he didn't dare to be careless, his hands kept changing the seal, although he didn't know what the function of this cheats was, but it was better than a bad body getting worse.

Half an hour later, everything went smoothly, Xiao Yao made the last handprint, at this moment, the originally comfortable body trembled, and suddenly a cold current in the body counterattacked, instantly coagulating the boiling blood, and then the whole body was as cold as falling into an ice cave.

Xiao Yao was shocked, hurriedly withdrew his handprint, and then curled up on the ground and shivered.

After a while, his body temperature returned to normal, Xiao Yao got up listlessly, and the last ray of hope in his heart was shattered, and then he roared angrily to the sky......

"Senior brother, what's wrong with you?"

Senior Brother Shangyu stood not far away, looking at Xiao Yao as if he was crazy.

"It's fine. Xiao Yao said lightly.

Senior Brother Shangyu frowned, thought for a while, and suddenly seemed to understand something, paused, and said, "You don't have to care about what they say, I think the Lord of Tianyan Peak is a very good master, at least he is very good to you." ”

Xiao Yao nodded, then shook the dust on his robe, and then said, "Senior brother came to Tianyan Peak to find me?"

"Inform you to go to the Purple Night Hall for trial. ”

"Trials?"

"Well, at the beginning of every month, the five generations of disciples have to go to Zixiao Peak to undergo the trial assessment, on the one hand, to supervise the cultivation of disciples, and on the other hand, to select disciples with outstanding strength to focus on cultivation. ”

"Is the trial difficult?"

"It's not too big, it's nothing more than beating stumps, splitting bricks and stuff. ”

Xiao Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was not a battle, otherwise it would have to be ugly, these conventional trials are estimated to be able to cope with the current situation.

~~~~~~~

Purple Night Peak.

"Knock~~Knock~~"

The Purple Night Hall sounded with a majestic bell.

At this time, thousands of fifth-generation disciples gathered here from the major mountain peaks in the square.

A purple-robed old Taoist stood in front of the main hall with a dusty face in his hand.

This person is one of the seventy-two peak masters, the peak master of Zixiao Peak, Fayang Zhenren, and a star powerhouse in the middle of the Great Martial Stage.

"The Wudang Sect has stood in the rivers and lakes for hundreds of years, do you know why?" Fayang Zhenren said.

The disciples didn't dare to say much, waiting for the Zixiao Peak Lord to signal.

Fayang Zhenren stroked his beard and smiled, seemingly extremely satisfied with the respectful attitude of the disciples, paused, and continued: "Wudang has produced heroes since ancient times, and every strong person who walks out from here is an existence that resounds throughout the universe, this is strength!"

The majestic voice echoed in the sky for a long time.

"Whoever dares to offend my Wudang will be destroyed!"

The disciples looked excited, raised their fists and shouted.

"If you want to become a strong person in the world, you can prove your strength, and I will announce the start of the trial assessment!"

With the announcement of Fayang Zhenren, the four generations of disciples successively moved the trial props to the square.

"The first item is to drive wooden stakes, requiring the twenty-four Wudang long fists to be performed within ten breaths. A fourth-generation disciple loudly announced the assessment rules.

"Pap~Papapa~"

"Pass the assessment!"

"Pap~Papa~"

"Next. ”

There was a hint of a smile on Fayang Zhenren's face, I have to say that the overall strength of these five generations of disciples is very good, and none of them have failed so far, especially the disciples under their seats are even better than other disciples.

"Pap~Pap~Pap"

Just when Fayang Zhenren was happy, a discordant voice sounded.

"Within ten breaths, twelve forms. The four generations of disciples in charge of the assessment announced with a bit of a dazzle.

Xiao Yao lowered his head and sighed, his hands hung down weakly, but he laughed at himself in his heart, and half of his strength disappeared in just a few hours, it seemed that he was really terminally ill and incurable.

"How can this kind of goods become a disciple of the fifth generation, I really can't figure it out?"

"With his strength, I don't think even a woman can beat him. ”

Listening to the undisguised ridicule of the people around him, Xiao Yao's heart was like a knife, but he couldn't find any reason to refute it.

An hour later.

"The second item of brick splitting requires ten square bricks to be split within five breaths, and the trial begins!"

"Click~"

"Pass, next. ”

"Click~Click~"

"Pass, next. ”

The assessment is in full swing, and the disciples who have not yet gone up to the trial are all eager to prepare their hands, and everyone knows in their hearts that if they want to get ahead, they must show their strength in front of the high-level, and only in this way can they have the opportunity to become the disciples of the fifth generation of key training.

"Knock~Knock~Knock~"

Xiao Yao's brows tightened, and he stretched out his palm and slashed several times continuously, but the square bricks did not move like iron.

"Knock Knock Knock ~ Knock Knock ~"

"Within five breaths, a piece is not broken. ”

The four generations of disciples in charge of the assessment watched Xiao Yao desperately chop bricks like crazy, blinked his eyes, and announced.

The originally lively square was silent in an instant, and everyone's eyes were locked on the somewhat gloomy back.

"What's your name?" Fayang Zhenren asked with a gloomy face.

"Disciple Dao is a scoundrel. Xiao Yao replied decadently.

Fayang Zhenren's beard trembled, looked at it coldly, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "It's really a person like his name, I see that you are sincere in making trouble, right?"

"The disciple has done his best. Xiao Yao said without squinting.

"Bastard still dares to quibble, who didn't have long eyes to include you in the sect, and the poor way will never spare him. ”

Seeing that Xiao Yao was neither humble nor arrogant, Fayang Zhenren suddenly became angry, and his pure heart and few desires had long been forgotten.

As soon as these words came out, the four generations of disciples in charge of the assessment shuddered, hurriedly came to Fayang Zhenren's side, and said in a low voice: "Master, this guy was personally sent in by the head of the sect. ”

Hearing this, the corners of Fayang Zhenren's mouth twitched, the expression on his face became unnatural, and he complained bitterly in his heart, this is good, I originally wanted to teach Xiao Yao a lesson, but I didn't know that everyone would offend the head of the house for a while, and if this was passed into the ears of other peak masters, I would have to laugh off my big teeth.

"Who are you learning from?" Fayang Zhenren coughed lightly, diverted the topic, and asked.

"Disciple, the teacher is a true person. Xiao Yao said.

Fayang Zhenren was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, and then he was relieved in his heart, and it was not strange that he had cultivated such a waste with his understanding of that old guy.

"I have a very good personal relationship with your master, it's rare that he accepted an apprentice, forget about today's assessment, you have to work harder in the future. ”

Fayang Zhenren found a step for himself, and by the way, he could also buy people's hearts, saving these disciples from spreading today's events.

"Thank you Bishop Zixiaofeng for your teachings, disciple keep it in mind. ”

Xiao Yao gave a salute and retreated into the team with an expressionless face.

"Today's trial is over, and some outstanding disciples have been recorded on the roster, I hope you will make persistent efforts to stand out and enter the Golden Palace as soon as possible to learn superior martial arts. Fayang Zhenren said loudly.

As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion in the square, the symbol of the highest honor of the "Golden Palace" sect, which treasured the supreme martial arts secrets of the Wudang faction, and all the disciples who entered the "Golden Palace" for further study would become a generation of strong people in the rivers and lakes.

Half an hour later, as the Fa Mad Zhenren left, the disciples began to disperse gradually, and some of them showed sarcastic eyes and schadenfreude when they passed by Xiao Yao's side.

At this time, Xiao Yao's heart was like ashes, and he didn't have any sense of ridicule and criticism from the crowd, and left Zixiao Peak quietly alone.

in the room.

"Smack~"

Xiao Yao slammed "Wudang Long Fist" to the ground, and then took out the "Nine Palace Pulse Diagram" from his arms and tore it up.

Watching the torn pages fall to the ground, the scene of talking to the old village chief suddenly flashed in his mind, and his hands gradually stopped.

"This is my father's favorite thing when he was alive, what the hell am I doing?" Xiao Yao muttered to himself, numbly squatting on the ground and picking up the broken pages.

A moment later, the broken pages and the remaining half-intact cheats were placed on the table, put together by the dim candlelight with trembling hands......

My eyes inadvertently fell on the last page of "The Evolution of the Nine Palaces", and I suddenly remembered my father's blood feud, my mother's hard work in the past ten years, and the expectations of the people in the village, and I suddenly felt that I was worthless.

"Ah~"

Xiao Yao's eyes were red, his hands kept tearing his hair and roaring, and then he picked up the last page of "Nine Palaces Pulse Diagram" and frantically knotted his handprints, wanting to end his life in the most painful way.
