Xiang Sheng nodded slightly as if he understood something.
Hei Jue did not say it explicitly, but he also explained that the people walking on the street were not members of the Tianyan sect, but passers-by.
In other words, this Fang Cun Ji secret realm is an existence similar to a market town, but she cannot see clearly how this Fang Cun Ji operates and where these people come from.
Thinking of this, she retracted her gaze and clasped her hands together: "Thank you, Jade Protector, for clearing up my doubts."
"No need to thank me."
Hei Jue said gently, "Once you get your first-class identity token, you'll know as much as I do. Go ahead, the second round of assessment will begin soon."
Xiang Sheng quickly bowed again, turned around and walked back. Everyone looked at him in awe, and consciously made way for him to walk to the front of the team.
Seeing this, Hei Jue said nothing, but suddenly waved his sleeve and hit the black cylinder.
The pitch-black cylinder was stimulated and immediately made a sharp buzzing sound, and a circle of invisible pressure waves swept out in ripples!
Everyone's mind seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, and everything went blank in an instant.
In just a moment, all the standing people collapsed, and only three people were still able to hold their bodies and not faint.
Xiang Sheng only felt a slight increase in pressure and no discomfort, but he acted as shaky as the other two, while secretly observing Hei Jue's reaction.
"Only three people? Gao Heng performed well just now, but his willpower is also average."
Hei Jue frowned slightly, quite disappointed.
I thought that with Gao Heng here, I would be able to strike the grinding core column twice today, but now it seems that I can't do it.
He walked to the grinding core pillar and pressed the mechanism. After a loud bang, the grinding core pillar sank into the ground and the pressure dissipated instantly.
Then he turned around to face everyone, and with a wave of his hand, countless points of light shot out and landed on the ground beside everyone. The light dissipated, revealing the shape of a token.
Xiang Sheng glanced at it and saw the word "肆" engraved on it.
A fourth-class token?
"They couldn't withstand the pressure and stopped here."
Hei Jue explained, waving his sleeves as a vortex appeared beside him. "You three still have a chance to go further. Follow me."
Xiang Sheng and the other two immediately followed.
After passing through the whirlpool, Xiang Sheng's vision suddenly became clear, and he came to an open-air arena.
Xiang Sheng looked around and found herself at the lower entrance of the Colosseum. She looked up at the surrounding stands, but her view was blocked by a white fog and she couldn't see clearly.
"This is the third round of assessment, the fighting arena."
Hei Jue's voice rang out from beside his ears, "The three of you are in different places. Your opponents are independent cultivators who have come here from all over Dongzhou. If they win a match, they will gain cultivation resources. If they can win ten matches in a row, they can become disciples of the Tianyan Sect.
If you win one game, your identity token will be upgraded to third class; if you win five games in a row, it will be upgraded to second class; if you win ten games in a row, it will be upgraded to first class!
They may not be as powerful as you, but they are all desperate criminals. If you take them lightly, your lives may be in danger.
Of course, if you are afraid, you can quit now and get a fourth-level token.
But I have to remind you that the fourth-class token is just for ordinary believers, while the third-class is very different!
Not only will your monthly salary be doubled, but you'll also be given a mental method that matches your zodiac sign, the rank of which is no lower than that of a mid-level human! If your contribution is sufficient, you can even receive personal instruction and guidance from the elders of the sect.
In your Blazing Flame Sect, that's a treatment only afforded to the ten core inner disciples. Now, I'm asking you just once: will you withdraw, or not?"
The other two were about to back out, but after hearing this, they immediately replied in unison:
“No retreat!”
“No retreat!”
Xiang Sheng's response was slow to come.
Hei Jue's face suddenly looked unhappy.
Could it be that Gao Heng, relying on his own talent and believing that he would definitely be valued by the school, would back down just like that?
Just as this thought occurred to him, he heard Gao Heng respond, "Disciple, of course, I will not retreat. However, I would like to ask one more question: after obtaining this token, if the sect launches a large-scale attack on the Blazing Flame Sect, how will we... cope?"
Hei Jue's expression suddenly relaxed, and he replied, "It's rare that you have such a long-term vision, so I'll tell you a few things in advance.
The purpose of the token is simply to avoid you in future battles, so as to avoid accidental killings and harm to the sect. You do not need to harm your fellow disciples, just stand by and watch.
If it's a second-class identity token or above, I can also come forward to protect those close to me. Are you satisfied?"
Xiang Sheng's eyes flashed, "How many people can you protect?"
"Why are you so talkative?"
Hei Jue's tone was extremely impatient, but he still replied, "A second-class token can only guarantee one person, and a first-class token... you can guarantee as many people as you want, as long as they are not true disciples.
However, your performance in the second round of assessment was mediocre, so whether you can get a first-class rating is still uncertain. Time is almost up, go on stage!"
After saying this, he didn't give Xiang Sheng any more chances to ask questions and swept the switch with his sleeve.
Rumble——
There was a sudden loud noise at the entrance, and the iron fence slowly rose up.
Xiang Sheng waited silently for the gate to rise, his eyes clear.
Putting aside the Tianyan Sect itself, by this point tonight, she had figured out two things.
One is that Lu Yushan asked her to come in, most likely for no other purpose than to erase her related memories.
This person's actions are inconsistent. The previous speculation is 80% true. There are two souls in his body, but no one knows how they can coexist peacefully.
Second, Lu Yushan did not appear the entire night, and it was most likely that he was controlling the Fang Cun Ji.
Jade Protector spoke of this secret realm as so important. If the master of Fangcunji is really Lu Yushan, then this person must be a very important person in Tianyan Sect, and it is very likely that he is even the leader!
