Chapter 42: The Test

"When you arrive, all come down. ”

The six-story orange East Pole Flying Boat is a special boat for the disciples of the Sword Gate of East Pole City, going back and forth between the East Pole Sword Gate and the East Pole City, a boat can accommodate three hundred people, and every time it picks up and drops off, it is full of boatloads.

"This is the Ninefold Peak?" Jun Ao stood on the board of the ship and looked up at the huge mountain peaks that reached into the sky, feeling as if he was standing at the feet of giants, extremely small, and really felt like an ant.

Nine peaks are the main peak of the main gate of the East Pole Sword Gate, the size of a mountain peak is ten times the size of ordinary peaks, the mountain peaks have eight faults, the eight faults rely on an inexplicable force to levitate, up and down consistently, like a piece of giant islands patchwork, counting the ground, add up to a total of nine layers, so it is called the Nine Peaks.

"Unthinkable. Wen Cangming put a volume of books back into the storage bag, stood aside and said slowly: "The reason why this nine-fold peak can be suspended is all because of a supreme treasure called 'Dingtian Bead' at the peak, and according to legend, the power of this treasure can even fix the sky for a while! Not to mention just fixing this nine-story peak?"

"Let's go, let's go down. When the people on the boat were almost gone, the three of them slowly followed and got off the boat.

Jun Ao took the lead and wore a black and red-edged robe, the material was leather, and it felt very tough, like cowhide. The placket of the robe is beveled, and the hem is separated from the middle to form a figure-of-eight, so a pair of black leather pants is also worn underneath. This set of outer disciples' costumes was worn on Jun Ao's body, exuding a cold aura.

And the same style of clothes is worn on Wen Cangming and Mastiff, and the feeling is different. Wen Cangming has always been so calm, he used to wear a long shirt like a powerless scholar, but now he is like a military advisor who waved his hand and disappeared. And the Mastiff is as wild as ever.

"We have to prepare everything ourselves, but Mr. Li also said that the entry selection is still very strict...... Alas. Jun Ao didn't know what he thought of halfway through speaking, but he couldn't continue, and finally could only sigh.

"Don't worry about Uncle Li, he is a real wise man, his mind is not so easy to be crushed, maybe he can understand something after this. After Wen Cangming finished speaking, he shook his head with regret and said: "It's a pity that the master of the Yue Sect came all the way and knew each other for three months, but I didn't expect to end up like this." ”

"Step killing. Jun Ao gently spit out these three words full of magic, and a blood-colored figure suddenly crossed out of his mind uncontrollably, incomparably clear, lingering in his mind.

"This big devil, when I succeed in my cultivation, I will definitely avenge the Lord of Yuemen, although it is not the person he killed, it is equivalent to dying at his hands. Wen Cangming said and suddenly smiled, and said: "If you let outsiders know that I am the enemy of step killing, it is estimated that it will make people's jaws drop, so many years of step killing and killing people, there are people who hate him, and there are also people who act chivalrous and righteous, but there is no real enemy, and I am the first one." ”

"Count me in. Jun Ao added.

Wen Cangming thought about it seriously, nodded and said, "It's okay, there are many people and there is great power, then you are the third enemy to kill in steps." ”

"How did you become the third?" Jun Ao wondered.

"The second one is, of course, the mastiff, my enemy is naturally his enemy, but I picked him up, I am equivalent to his father!" Wen Cangming finished speaking as a matter of course, and slapped the back of the mastiff's head casually.

"Whew!" the mastiff was about to go berserk......

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, outsiders wouldn't have been able to imagine the scene under the Nine Peaks.

As far as the eye can see, there is a large sea of people in the huge open space, all of whom are teenagers and girls, wearing uniform outer door costumes. A row of bamboo fences is erected horizontally in front, and there is a forest not far behind the fence, and there will be an entrance to the fence every other distance, and there are two mountain guarding disciples standing at the entrance for routine inspection, and there is a long queue at each entrance.

And under the nine-fold peak, it has been like this for many years. Because there are many branches of the East Pole Sword Sect, three hundred and sixty days a year, almost every day, there will be branch disciples who come to the assessment, intending to enter the main gate, even if they are outer disciples who practice at their own expense, they can't fade the enthusiasm of these teenagers.

The three of them found a team at random and waited, unexpectedly, the queue was not as slow as they imagined, and the whole team passed one by one, and it didn't take long for the three of them to take their turn.

"Do you want to measure the spirit root?" When Jun Ao saw the disciple holding the spirit measuring stone in his hand, his face changed suddenly, and he hesitated whether to measure the spirit root, if it was found that he had the best fairy root, it would definitely cause a stir, maybe he could pass it directly without any assessment, but this is not what Jun Ao wants, since he found that the modifier has two opportunities to modify, Jun Ao is determined to modify his qualifications to the best! If it attracts the attention of others, at least the spirit root will not be able to change for the time being in the future.

However, it turned out that Jun Ao thought too much, and the disciple who guarded the mountain handed over the paper and pen with an impatient face, first asked Jun Ao to show the identity token representing the disciples of the branch, and then asked Jun Ao to fill in his name and the branch he was in, and after writing, he let Jun Ao enter the mouth, and the people behind him were all there, just write their names after showing their identities. After connecting ten people, the previous disciple who guarded the mountain personally underestimated: "It's good that these ten people have medium qualifications." ”

No wonder these mountain guards are lazy, they are really tired of such things, they are busy from morning to night every day, and they hone their minds in the name of beauty, and those who come to the branch assessment independently are just some branch disciples with average qualifications, and there are a large number of them, so they have time to test the spiritual root qualifications one by one, so Jun Ao is also lucky to escape once.

Before coming, Li Shuyan and Jun Ao said that it was not so easy for the disciples of the branch to be admitted to the main gate and become disciples of the outer gate, on the contrary, the conditions were very harsh, but because of Yue Susu's matter, Li Shuyan seemed to be immersed in some kind of emotion, and he didn't say much. Jun Ao saw that Li Shuyan's mood was not right, so he didn't ask too much, and the three of them came by themselves.

At the mouth of the dark forest in front of them, there were two more disciples guarding the mountain, handing out long swords to the disciples who entered, while giving instructions.

"The first assessment, through the trial forest to the outer gate, during the hunt to hunt ten demon beasts, cut off their heads and bring them to the exit, someone at the door to pick up, hand over the head of the demon beast to them, you can pass the level, become a disciple of the outer gate. As he spoke, the disciple handed over an open long sword, and at the same time said with an arm-thick barrel: "If something happens, someone will naturally come to save you if you send out a cry for help. ”

Jun Ao didn't ask much, took the weapon and walked into the forest, the moment he stepped into the forest, he felt that the sky and the earth were darkened, and it was not the sky above his head, but a suspended fault, and now he couldn't shine the sun. Fortunately, Jun Ao has built a successful foundation, and this factor can't affect him at all, but in addition, Jun Ao also feels a strange feeling.

"The first test is actually to hunt demon beasts, I have never seen what demon beasts look like, Brother Wen, ...... you say" Jun Ao said as he suddenly turned his head suddenly, and found that there was nothing behind him!

"Formation?maze?or teleportation array?" Jun Ao didn't expect that this forest was actually arranged with a formation, no wonder he felt quiet around him as soon as he walked into the forest, and he didn't let acquaintances go together, but separated everyone separately and let them act alone.

"Now it's interesting. Jun Ao raised the corners of his mouth, smiled, turned his head and continued to walk, while muttering to himself: "Brother Wen and I will definitely be able to complete the task, but it will be a little difficult for the mastiff to defeat that kid." ”

Not long after walking, he suddenly heard a piercing and sharp sound in the distance, and then there was a loud bang, Jun Ao's eyes lit up, and he muttered, "Distress signal?"

The voice landed, and there was a sudden force under his feet, and he hit the ground with a swish. The figure flew out like an arrow from a string, and then, like an ape, skillfully leaped towards the trunk of the tree, and then jumped from the trunk in relay, all the way forward quickly.

Although Jun Ao's cultivation had reached the foundation building realm, and all his strength had been converted into mana, Li Shuyan did not teach him any spells. Because the Taoist rules have the rule of 'the Tao can be transmitted, but the law is not said', which means that disciples can be taught to practice, but magic cannot be easily taught. What's more, Jun Ao has planted a foundation now, and it is already regarded as an ancient revision, if he had taken the wrong path of fake cultivation before, Li Shuyan would have passed on a few spells to him, but now he can't. Only the main gate of the East Pole Sword Gate is the ancient correction system, so if Jun Ao wants to learn the Fa, he can only learn it after entering the main gate, otherwise once he is discovered, the person who teaches the Fa will be severely punished.

Even so, Jun Ao's current physical strength and the assistance of mana are not comparable to ordinary branch disciples, and even the disciples who are also building the foundation realm and planting the foundation can never be stronger than Jun Ao, because Jun Ao has five mana crystals.

When Jun Ao arrived at the place where the distress signal was sent out at the first time, there was only a mess left, and there was a huge giant ape monster lying on the ground, which was two stories high, its head had been cut off in half, staring at its eyes as big as a gong, and thick blood gushed out from the broken neck, which had just died, but there was no one around.

Jun Ao walked to the corpse of the giant ape demon beast, and suddenly found a rag on the ground. picked it up and took a closer look, and Jun Ao found the clue.

This rag was cut by a sharp weapon, and it was obviously impossible for it to be caused by the giant ape demon beast. That being the case, there is only one possibility.

"Don't you kill each other? Jun Ao threw the rags aside, walked to the place where the corpse of the giant ape was broken by half of the neck, choked, pulled out the long sword in his hand, the blade flashed with a chilling edge, Jun Ao raised his sword and cut off, easily cutting off the head of the giant ape.

"It didn't take much effort to get there. ”

Jun Ao stretched out his hand, and the hideous-looking giant ape's severed head flew into his hand, spilling thick blood all over the ground.

(ps: Very good, the discovery of the slot egg is Sunday, yesterday Saturday, I thought the 3rd was Monday...... There's no way, today's three watches will be sent as a warm-up. )
