Chapter 111, Assessment
The boy returned soon after, and said to Yang Xiao: "Senior, please come with me, we will go to see Senior Uncle Liu now, as long as he passes the assessment, you can join our Heavenly Sword Sect."
Yang Xiao nodded and said, "Then trouble Dao Tong to lead the way."
"Well said, well said, please come with me". As he spoke, the boy took out a flying sword from his storage bag, and Edgeworth flew deeper into the mountains.
Yang Xiao naturally followed, of course, he flew with qi, and naturally he was much faster than the other party, but after all, when he came to the Heavenly Sword Sect, he was not too rude, and he was not familiar with this place, so he just slowed down and flew forward with the boy.
"This senior, I don't know where you came from?" the boy asked Yang Xiao on the way.
"I came from the west of the country, originally just a casual cultivator, I heard that the Heavenly Sword Sect is famous for its amazing swordsmanship, and I have great admiration for swordsmanship, so I plan to join the Heavenly Sword Sect." Yang Xiao said.
"The predecessors actually have today's cultivation as a casual cultivator, they are really a genius in cultivation, there are not many people in our Heavenly Sword Sect who can have cultivation like you at the age of our predecessors, so it seems that it should be very easy for seniors to join our Heavenly Sword Sect." The boy said.
"I was just about to ask Dao Tong for advice, I don't know what your Heavenly Sword Sect's criteria for recruiting disciples are?" Yang Xiao asked curiously.
"If we follow the ordinary standard here? That is, disciples are only recruited once a year, and they must be under the age of ten, and their own qualifications must be quite good. Of course, this is just a general standard, if it is a casual cultivation, our Heavenly Sword Sect is also very welcome, however, that kind of requirement is even higher, that is, this casual cultivation must be the peak of the spiritual consciousness realm or the cultivation of the condensation realm. Of course, a cultivator like a senior should be fine. After all, every sect welcomes monks with high cultivation to join, so that the overall strength of the sect can be improved." The boy said.
"So, I should be able to pass the assessment?" Yang Xiao said.
"Of course, it's fine. Cultivation like the predecessors will be welcomed by any sect. The boy said. "However, my Uncle Liu, who is in charge of the assessment, has a somewhat extreme personality, if the senior does not show all his cultivation during the assessment, otherwise, he may be a little unhappy, and then there is, if the senior has surplus spirit stones, you might as well give him some, so that your chances of passing the assessment will be greater."
"Is there such a thing? That is to say, I can't show a higher cultivation than him, right?" Yang Xiao asked.
"It's true, my senior uncle is very small-minded, but the position he has to assess the hall master is quite important, so the seniors should try their best to slap him up." The boy said.
"Thank you Daotong for your advice, I will naturally be cautious when the time comes." Yang Xiao thanked him.
"That's very good, let's go quickly, over this mountain is where the assessment hall is located." As he spoke, the boy pointed ahead and said.
Sure enough, after crossing a mountain, you will see a large hall in the distance, which is being built on the road to the depths of the mountain range, and there is a plaque on the door of the main hall, and the plaque reads "Assessment Hall" three big characters.
The boy and Yang Xiao landed in front of the main hall, and then they walked into the main hall together.
On a chair in front of the main hall sat an extremely fat monk, this monk was obviously the hall master of the examination hall, and there were two monks standing on either side of him, motionless, but a little powerful.
"The disciple has seen Uncle Liu, this monk who participated in the assessment, I have already brought it here." The boy bowed to the monk surnamed Liu and said.
"Okay, you can step back." The monk surnamed Liu waved his hand to the boy and said, and then he glanced at Yang Xiao.
The boy withdrew.
"I don't know how Hall Master Liu plans to assess?" Yang Xiao asked.
"The assessment of our Heavenly Sword Sect is naturally all up to me, that is to say, if I let you pass, you can pass, if I don't let you pass, you won't be able to pass." The monk surnamed Liu said. Then he tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair.
Obviously, this monk surnamed Liu is planning to ask for some benefits.
However, Yang Xiao didn't intend to break the bank, he pretended not to understand and said: "I know that Hall Master Liu let me pass, and I can pass, but what I don't know is, what is the topic of Hall Master Liu's assessment?"
"I really don't know what to do." Hall Master Liu scolded secretly, according to Yang Xiao's condensation realm cultivation, Hall Master Liu actually doesn't need to be assessed, as long as Yang Xiao hands over some filial piety spirit stones, he can let Yang Xiao pass, but now, Yang Xiao doesn't seem to know, and he doesn't plan to hand over the spirit stones, so Hall Master Liu can only pretend to be assessed.
"In this way, as long as you can take a few tricks from me, I will count you as passing." Hall Master Liu said slowly.
"Okay, then please ask Hall Master Liu for more advice." Yang Xiao arched his hand and said.
"Well, then you can take it." Hall Master Liu said, and an aura was attacking Yang Xiao.
As soon as Yang Xiao stretched out his hand, the same aura was struck, and the opponent's attack was easily dissolved.
"Hey, there are actually two hits, see if you can pick up my Great Yuan Sword Qi?" Hall Master Liu said, sending out an attack again, this time, the aura around him turned into dozens of swords, attacking towards Yang Xiao, these sword qi are quite pure and condensed, and they are quite extraordinary at a glance. As these sword qi moved, the surrounding air was slashed and turned into nothingness.
Hall Master Liu obviously used a trick to give Yang Xiao a dismount.
However, Yang Xiao naturally would not be afraid of the other party, he punched forward, and it was a thunder dragon that attacked forward, and it collided with Hall Master Liu's sword qi.
With a loud "boom", I saw that the thunder dragon emitted by Yang Xiao instantly defeated Hall Master Liu's sword qi, and this impact made Hall Master Liu stand up in shock.
"Bold, I don't think you're here to participate in the assessment, but you seem to have come to the Heavenly Sword Sect to make trouble, do you think that with this bit of cultivation of yours, you can really do whatever you want in the Heavenly Sword Sect?" However, now that this is in the Heavenly Sword Sect, Hall Master Liu has enough support, he believes that even if Yang Xiao is stronger than himself, he will definitely not be the opponent of those division commanders, so he still forcibly calmed down and said.
In the eyes of Hall Master Liu at this time, Yang Xiao was purely here to make trouble. Therefore, he would never allow Yang Xiao to join the Heavenly Sword Sect, and as long as he did not agree to Yang Xiao joining, then no matter how great Yang Xiao's ability was, it would be useless at all, and he could only go back wherever he came from.
"Don't be angry, Master Liu, I have a letter here, you can take a look at it first, this is a letter of recommendation given to me by Brother Chen Ping." As Yang Xiao spoke, he took out the jade slip that Chen Ping gave him and handed it over to Hall Master Liu.
"Senior Brother Chen Ping's letter?" Although Hall Master Liu was still a little suspicious, his anger had obviously disappeared a lot at this time, so he held the jade slip in his hand and looked at it carefully.
