Chapter 18: Vortex (1st Update)
Xie Ling entered the room and found that this was just a passage, on the other side there was a courtyard of tens of zhang in size, there was a small pool on the left side of the courtyard, and some bronze ore and black iron ore were piled up on the right, and in the middle of the wall sat two young monks in soap robes, one of them was a young monk with triangular eyes and said, "Your name is Xie Ling, right?"
"Disciple Xie Ling has seen two seniors. Xie Ling bowed and said.
"Do you have anything else to say before the exam?" the triangular-eyed monk tapped his hand on the table, on which were placed some jade bottles, utensils, jade slips and other things.
"No, please ask the seniors to evaluate the subordinates!" Xie Ling said completely ignoring his hints.
"Okay, there are many candidates with integrity like you today, but unfortunately, their abilities can't match their integrity, I hope you can make us feel the difference!" The triangular-eyed monk was not surprised, and his voice became excited.
"The seniors will not be disappointed. Xie Ling smiled slightly.
"Hey, you're applying for the third-level 'Water Cloud Technique', aren't you a trial student in the gravel field?" asked another yellow-robed young monk who had not spoken all this time after reading the information in his hand.
"Can't the trial students of the gravel field apply for the 'Water Cloud Technique'?" Xie Ling asked rhetorically.
"Of course you can, it seems that there are a few people in front of you who are also trial students in the gravel field, the candidate named Qin Pei is good, and the Long Xiang in the back is a little worse, but they are either the 'hourglass technique' that can exercise the ability to control the strength of the road or the 'Hercules technique' that makes them as powerful as a cow, and in my impression, there has never been a trial student in the gravel field who has applied for the 'Water Cloud Technique', the 'Sharp Metal Technique' or the 'Thick Earth Technique' is still a little possible, but the 'Water Cloud Technique' is completely unbounded, are you really a trial student in the gravel field?" The yellow-robed young monk continued to ask in disbelief.
"Of course it is, the younger generation doesn't think that the 'Water Cloud Technique' is completely incompatible with the gravel field, but thinks that it is quite useful!" Xie Ling said.
"Well, since you say it's useful, as long as you can prove what you just said, this assessment will be considered a good one!" said the young monk with the triangular eyes.
Xie Ling looked at the other yellow-robed young monk. He had just deliberately used words to stimulate the triangular-eyed young monk to direct the assessment method to his advantage, and now he was waiting for the reply of the other examiner.
"I have no objection, you can start!" the yellow-robed young monk was slightly stunned, he thought that this was much more difficult than the pre-set, but he was quite curious.
Xie Ling saw that his plan succeeded, and his heart was ecstatic, otherwise if he was assessed in other ways, the judging standard would not be the final word of the two of them, so he struck while the iron was hot, bowed down and said: "That junior is ugly in front of the two seniors!" After speaking, he walked to the area on the right where the bronze ore and black iron ore were stacked, and did not bend down, his right foot knocked lightly on the bronze ore pile, and with a bang, one of them flew out of it, and with his left hand, the flying bronze ore stuck to it, and the arm flipped, and the black iron ore weighing about fifty catties was like nothing under its control!
The two examiners were slightly stunned when they saw that he was really using the 'Water Cloud Technique', and it was not bad that the control of the strength could do this kind of Cheng dù. However, it is not enough to say that the water cloud technique is suitable for the work of the gravel field!
Xie Ling had already walked back to his original position at this time, and carried a piece of bronze ore and black iron ore to the center of the courtyard respectively, and placed his two hands on both sides of the bronze ore layer, the true qi in his body was running, and the spiritual power was leaking out from the palms of his hands, and drilling into the cracks layer by layer.
The spiritual power entered it, and immediately turned into hundreds of whirlpools rotating in it, the surface looked as soft as water, but there was unimaginable power inside, and with a snap, it took almost a few breaths for the bronze ore to crack one by one.
The two young monks in charge of the assessment walked over in surprise, after all, they were a little far away, and they couldn't see it very really.
Xie Ling just smiled, and in the same way, he got a piece of black iron ore, pressed his right hand on it, and after a while, the black iron ore shattered from it after a click, and not even a trace of ash was raised, this time the two young monks in charge of the assessment sensed that it was indeed the 'vortex' technique in the six changes of the 'Water Cloud Technique', and they glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of horror in each other's eyes.
Xie Ling looked up at the two of them and said, "Senior, do you want to continue?"
"No need, your name is Xie Ling, congratulations, you have become the fifth junior instrument disciple today, give me your Cangyue Order!" said the yellow-robed young monk.
Xie Ling was stunned, then with a smile on his face, he took out the Cangyue Order from his arms and handed it over.
The triangular-eyed young monk took it, with a very strange expression on his face, and imprinted the inscription of the Dharma Plate on the information pass. Xie Ling saw that the periphery of the originally black token had turned crimson, as if it had been inlaid with a red edge.
Is this the Cangyue Order that represents the junior instrument disciple? He looked at it carefully and curiously, and his divine sense penetrated into it, and found that the basic information inside had also been changed, and there was an additional line of words: Refining Academy, junior instrument apprentice.
Looking at Xie Ling walking out of the courtyard, the yellow-robed young monk said, "Senior Brother Chen, your harvest today is not small!"
"Isn't Senior Brother Xu the same!" said the triangular-eyed young monk.
"Each other, I didn't expect that a mere trialist from a gravel yard would be so proficient in the way of change, if it weren't for being in the 'Refining Academy', his future would be limitless!"
"Senior Brother Xu has a heart of pity, I heard that your 'Sword Trial Academy' has produced a few more immortal talents this year, he is a junior apprentice of a low-grade immortal root, and when he arrives with you, he will really be a pearl and dust!"
The young man in the yellow robe did not deny it when he heard this, the cruelty of the competition in the 'Sword Trial Academy' was something that outsiders could not understand, although this trial student named Xie Ling had a good understanding, but unfortunately the immortal root was not good, the way of cultivating immortals was not just by understanding, without a good immortal root, no matter how high the comprehension was, he could only see the flowers in the mirror! Thinking that he couldn't do it, that kind of taste was the most uncomfortable.
"Xie Ling, how is it, do you know Guò?" Long Xiang stepped forward and asked.
Xie Ling nodded, and took out the Cangyue Order, which represented the junior instrument disciple.
"I knew you would be able to get through!" Qin Pei and Xie Ling hugged each other.
By the stream, Xie Ling handed Zhang Meng the cloth bag, and Zhang Meng couldn't tell whether he was happy or disappointed after taking it, and muttered, "You're useless?"
"I've already passed the exam, but I still want to thank you!" Xie Ling looked at Zhang Meng opposite and said with a grateful look.
Zhang Meng seemed to be a little flustered under his gaze, "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, fortunately, it wasn't wasted, I can use it in the assessment next month." As he spoke, he tucked the cloth bag in his hand into his arms and turned around.
Xie Ling smiled, Zhang Meng was good at everything, but it was a little-something, he couldn't say it for a while.
Suddenly, Zhang Meng's expression changed, he looked into the distance and said, "I'm sleepy, I'll go back first if there's nothing to do!" After speaking, without waiting for Xie Ling to speak, the person jumped a few times and disappeared into the night sky.
Xie Ling looked at his back and shook his head, this Meng Gu is weird, he will leave when he says, he will come when he says, there is no law at all. Naturally, he wasn't in the mood to stay here for a long time, remembering that there should be no one in the gravel yard now, and he didn't know how his recent 'Nian Shen Technique' was progressing, so he went there.
