Chapter 79 The Test for the Uncle and Nephew
Countless people are waiting here.
The assessment period was really long.
As more cultivators who had taken the exam emerged, the other cultivators gained a general idea of when the exam would take place.
All assessments for miscellaneous practitioners, regardless of level, will be limited to two days.
All martial arts practitioners, regardless of their cultivation level, will have their assessment period limited to about three days—by the end of the third day, more than 90% of the martial arts practitioners will have already emerged.
·
Zhong Cai was leaning against Wu Shaogan, feeling a little nervous.
"Old Wu, isn't it your turn soon?"
Wu Shaogan glanced at the line ahead and nodded, saying, "More or less."
Zhong Cai became even more nervous, her heart pounding rapidly.
Wu Shao chuckled dryly: "I'll be careful."
Zhong Cai knew, of course, that Lao Wu would be careful, but all the martial arts cultivators who had come out before were covered in injuries! Who knows what kind of test they came up with? It was simply outrageous.
Wu Shaogan knew Zhong Cai well. Seeing that he was unhappy, he whispered in his ear, "The injuries that came out later were not serious. It just looks like you lost a lot of blood. In fact, as long as you take the right medicine, there will be no hidden dangers."
Zhong Cai pursed her lips.
So what? It must hurt a lot to be covered in blood!
Wu Shaogan grasped Zhong Cai's wrist and rubbed it a few times.
Zhong Cai sighed: "Anyway, you should do your best."
Wu Shao chuckled awkwardly and agreed, "Okay."
During their whispered conversation, Zhong Cai offered Wu Shaogan a lot of encouragement, which Wu Shaogan gladly accepted.
At this moment, the doors of the martial arts assessment hall finally opened.
·
Thirteen young men and women strode out.
All the cultivators turned their gaze toward them.
These young men and women were all at the Heavenly Guidance and Palace Opening Realms. Their auras were somewhat weak, and their complexions were either pale or abnormally rosy, but their eyes were still very excited.
Clearly, they all passed the assessment... Outer Court disciples.
Behind them, two more men with different demeanors stepped out.
They are all practitioners who have performed consecration rituals.
One of them was almost completely intact—it only suffered a minor injury—while the other had lost an arm.
Both of them seemed relatively relaxed.
Even the one who lost his arm was quite casual. After he came out, several people quickly came up to him, and he seemed very happy and excited as he said a few words.
From a distance, some sounds could also be heard.
"Congratulations……"
"...Prepare...a Rejuvenation Pill..."
"Level three..."
·
After hearing the gist of the story, Zhong Cai whispered in Wu Shaogan's ear, "I also have the recipe for the Rejuvenation Pill."
Wu Shaogan smiled, rubbed Zhong Cai's face, and said with a smile, "When you have time later, you can refine a few to play with."
Zhong Cai chuckled.
·
The Rejuvenation Pill is actually a remedy for repairing the body.
From the Heavenly Guidance to the Suspended Illumination (fourth level), each realm has a corresponding Rejuvenation Elixir formula.
When a cultivator loses limbs, ears, nose, or large chunks of flesh, they can gradually regrow them by taking this elixir.
The higher the quality, the faster the repair.
Of course, taking this elixir is useless after losing one's head, internal organs, and eyes.
Once a cultivator reaches the Fusion Realm (fifth rank), their physical body becomes more complex, so many pills can only be partially effective.
For example, the limb-regenerating pill that Zhong Cai extracted before was a level five pill that could grow four limbs—however, it could only grow four limbs, and had no effect on other missing flesh or things like ears and nose.
·
The pills that Zhong Cai had previously refined to treat external injuries could only grow some flesh and blood, but could not restore limbs.
Later, because he and Lao Wu hardly needed the Rejuvenation Pill, he stopped refining it.
Looking back now, it's not a bad thing to have some on hand.
That's why the two of them would mention it during casual conversations.
·
Once the last two groups of martial arts cultivators emerged, there was no further movement.
So it's possible that no cultivators participated in the assessment before, or that some did but failed and quietly slipped away.
Not only the main hall in front of Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan's team was like this, but all the other martial arts halls were the same.
Zhong Cai sighed, "The assessment is really difficult."
Wu Shao chuckled dryly and gently tugged at Zhong Cai's stray hairs.
Zhong Cai really wanted to roll her eyes, but she held back because she remembered that this person was a test taker.
Wu Shaogan tugged at it again.
Zhong Cai: "..."
·
The academy disciples guarding the Martial Arts Hall spoke again.
"Second batch of combat assessment participants, step forward—"
There were far more martial arts cultivators than cultivators of miscellaneous skills, and the ranks ahead were rapidly shortening.
Wu Shaogan followed the team forward.
Zhong Cai quickly followed and escorted Wu Shaogan to the front of the barrier formation.
Wu Shaogan stepped in.
Zhong Cai barely managed to stay outside the formation.
Wu Shaogan turned around, smiled at Zhong Cai, and said, "Cai, don't worry."
Zhong Cai took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.
At this point, he stopped putting pressure on Lao Wu!
Wu Shaogan saw Zhong Cai's worry and encouragement, and his eyes softened.
Then, he walked directly towards the palace gate.
Shao Qing, who was already standing in front of the palace gate, beckoned Wu Shaogan to go in together.
Wu Shaogan nodded to him.
Zhong Cai then remembered that Shao Qing was ahead of Lao Wu in line.
Just now, neither of them noticed Shao Qing.
Shao Qing knew that the two of them wouldn't notice him, and he didn't mind.
Anyway, he's used to it.
·
The moment Wu Shaogan stepped through the palace gate, his steps became lighter.
The next moment, he appeared in a vast, empty wilderness.
...It cannot be called a wilderness either.
The environment does resemble wilderness, but upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that it is approximately one hectare in size.
There was complete silence all around, and no sound explaining the rules.
Wu Shaogan narrowed his eyes slightly, raising his guard.
Suddenly, a gust of wind rushed from behind him!
Wu Shaogan dodged slightly.
The source of this noise was lying about two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) ahead.
It is a small, wild fox.
The fox has scarlet eyes and gray fur all over its body, making it very inconspicuous.
Judging from the intensity of its previous sneak attacks, it excels in speed and its claws are extremely sharp.
Its aura is fierce, classifying it as a savage beast of the third tier, level one.
·
Wu Shaogan's observation was only a fleeting moment.
In that instant, he had already vanished, a sturdy bow appearing in his hand without his knowledge, its sharp edge aimed at the fox's head.
The fox let out a sharp cry, its entire body moving like a blur.
He narrowly avoided the blow.
However, Wu Shaogan seemed to have already sensed the direction it was hiding in, and he appeared there with extremely fast speed. With a sudden thrust of the hard bow, he pierced the fox's heart, and in that position, he lifted it high into the air.
The fox's pupils dilated, and it died quickly.
At the same time, the fox's body disappeared.
Wu Shaogan raised an eyebrow slightly: "A feint and a real formation."
The next moment, two gusts of wind came from both sides.
Countless claw shadows reached out to grab Wu Shaogan, but they all missed.
Wu Shaogan's figure appeared a few feet away.
He's too fast!
It turned out to be two identical wild foxes attacking from different directions.
However, their speed was far inferior to Wu Shaogan's. So even though they had tried their best to launch a sneak attack, they couldn't even touch the hem of Wu Shaogan's clothes.
Wu Shaogan also moved.
One moment he was a few feet away, the next he was behind the Savage Fox on the left.
With a single blow, he smashed the fox's head.
The savage fox on the right squeaked wildly and ran away at top speed.
However, Wu Shaogan simply drew back the bowstring.
A sharp arrow shot through the air!
It seemed to be able to turn, circling in the air in a semi-circle, and cleverly pierced the fox's heart.
The entire process took only a single breath.
Both foxes were killed!
Wu Shaogan moved slightly, drew his bow and shot an arrow.
This time, the three arrows scattered.
In the blink of an eye, each long arrow pierced through a wild fox.
The three-headed fox that reappeared was no longer even able to launch a sneak attack.
The moment they appeared, they were shot dead by Wu Shaogan!
·
Inside a sealed room.
Several powerful men and women, some tall and some fit, were looking at the images on the wall.
Just like during the alchemy assessment, the walls were covered with separate small images.
Each piece represents an image used in the assessment of a practitioner who performs the consecration ritual.
·
Unlike the alchemy assessment, which explains all the rules from the beginning, the martial arts assessment places great emphasis on the practitioner's combat awareness.
This includes the vigilance of martial arts practitioners.
All martial arts practitioners, regardless of their level, will be thrown into this "wilderness" where a combination of real and illusory formations is set up at the start.
The formation will release various types of savage beasts in sequence according to the martial arts cultivator's realm.
Tianyin, Pigong... correspond to first-tier and second-tier savage beasts respectively...
These savage beasts have different strengths.
Some excel in speed, physical strength, sharp claws, and deadly poison... while others possess innate secret techniques.
Moreover, different martial arts practitioners encounter different types of savage beasts.
Even when encountering the same savage beast, the order in which they are released will be different.
·
Several powerful men and women were all at the Palace Building Realm.
They came to supervise the exam, firstly to avoid any unexpected situations, and secondly to get a preview of the students they would be teaching in the future.
Of course, if they really encounter a promising talent, they wouldn't mind taking on a few resident disciples.
·
With a sweep of their divine senses, the powerful figures were able to see all the small scenes clearly.
Seventy percent of the test takers were already injured.
The fit woman sneered, "Useless! With such a lack of vigilance, you would have been torn to shreds by wild beasts on the battlefield!"
A gentle man beside her advised, "Senior Sister Li, please calm down. Most of these cultivators are inexperienced and haven't undergone much training, so it's normal for them to be caught off guard. Our academy recruits disciples, and those who pass the test will be taught gradually."
Another woman also advised, "Don't worry, Senior Sister Li. Those who are not vigilant like this may have been able to defend themselves from a few attacks now, but if it happens a few more times, they will inevitably be eliminated..."
There was also a man and a woman who tried to persuade him in the same way.
·
This "Senior Sister Li" has a fiery temper and was also one of the mentors who participated in designing the assessment content before the academy recruited students.
She had mentioned at the time that the tests in the illusionary formation, which started with one savage beast and gradually increased in difficulty, seemed too easy. They should have deployed four savage beasts from the very beginning, attacking from four directions!
Only cultivators who can withstand this pincer attack can be considered to have developed a basic level of vigilance.
However, the other academy instructors knew very well that if they really tested a cultivator's vigilance in this way, most cultivators would probably die during the assessment.
Their Azure Dragon Academy recruits disciples, not makes enemies.
Many cultivators participating in the assessment may seem weak, but they may have powerful backers. And powerful backers often have extensive connections and enjoy the protection of many other forces... One or two might be acceptable, but if hundreds or thousands of them die in the assessment, Azure Dragon Academy will incur widespread wrath.
Of course, Azure Dragon Academy is an eighth-level power, and even if many forces unite, they are basically powerless to resist.
But it's really not worth it!
Azure Dragon Academy is not some evil force that feeds on flesh, blood, and soul!
·
After the four mentors took turns comforting him, Mentor Li finally calmed down a bit.
Instructor Li said angrily, "These idiots!"
The other mentors exchanged glances and shook their heads slightly.
They could actually understand Professor Li's feelings.
It's so bad it's unbearable to look at.
Sending out only one savage beast the first time was truly just a test of their vigilance.
As long as you are slightly on guard, you can almost always dodge it.
But those cultivators seemed to have some misunderstanding about their Azure Dragon Academy.
Do we only make them wary if we explicitly tell them that they have an adversary?
This is a martial arts assessment!
What can be tested in a combat skills test? It definitely starts with the ability to perceive danger!
Yet they remain so bewildered.
This is utterly absurd!
·
If someone is injured in the early stages, the injuries will become more severe if they continue to be attacked by more savage beasts.
During the brief conversation among the mentors, several more people who had sustained minor injuries were found to have serious injuries.
Instructor Li took a deep breath, reached out, and grabbed at the cultivators in the images.
Those cultivators were thrown out of the wilderness and appeared in a spacious, quiet room.
They have failed in the Wilderness Martial Arts Challenge.
According to the rules of the martial arts assessment, they will also have the opportunity to be assessed on their comprehension.
If one has high enough comprehension, they may be accepted as an exception.
If their comprehension isn't exceptional, they are guaranteed to fail the assessment.
·
The several seriously injured cultivators looked at each other warily and sat down at a considerable distance from one another.
At this moment, they wanted to take out the pills from their storage treasures to heal their injuries.
However, during the assessment process, they are not given any time to heal.
Inside the room, a dignified female voice rang out: "Combat assessment failed, comprehension assessment begins."
Very decisive and efficient.
The expressions of the severely injured cultivators changed.
Suddenly, beams of light shone from the walls of the quiet room, enveloping them.
Then they moved to another location.
·
Wu Shaogan coldly swung his hard bow, smashing the head of one savage beast, then turned and pierced the other, before dodging and smashing the beast's head again. He then used his momentum to thrust the hard bow out from the side and kill another beast, before suddenly turning around and slicing off a head with the bowstring.
The entire movement occurs only within the breath.
More savage beasts pounced, but they only managed to catch a fleeting afterimage.
Wu Shaogan appeared outside the encirclement and unleashed a barrage of arrows, wiping out a circle of savage beasts.
·
Since the first savage fox appeared, Wu Shaogan has killed more than twenty savage beasts.
They appeared one, two, three at a time, but after the fourth group of four foxes surrounded him, the foxes that appeared again became unpredictable.
Sometimes there are two or three, and sometimes there are six together.
But no matter how many foxes there were, they were all killed by Wu Shaogan because they couldn't outrun him.
The fox's lethality is limited.
Its only advantage is speed.
As Wu Shaogan continued killing, he began to feel a bit bored.
At this moment, eight savage foxes appeared together.
They attacked from eight directions, trying to completely block Wu Shaogan's path.
Unfortunately, before the encirclement could be completed, Wu Shaogan disappeared again...
·
Inside the surveillance room.
With a gentle face, Instructor Sun Qian patted Instructor Li Ying on the back and said with a smile, "Junior Sister Ying, look at that one."
As she spoke, she pointed her slender finger slightly to the upper right.
Li Ying was already furious, but when her senior sister spoke up, she managed to suppress her anger and looked over.
Upon seeing this, Li Ying's complexion improved.
In that scene, a young man dressed in brocade robes, holding a strong bow, killed all eight barbarian foxes around him in a few flashes.
As if a series of illusions had been suddenly shattered, all the wild foxes vanished in an instant.
They died too quickly.
Li Ying pondered, "Eight beasts at once must have come from at least five waves of savage beasts."
Sun Qian smiled and said, "That's exactly right."
Li Ying felt relieved.
Another beautiful Miao chess instructor laughed and said, "Because of Senior Sister Li's anger, we were all focused on the injured and didn't see this young friend's skills. Why don't we rewind the scene and take a look?"
Both female mentors, Sun Qian and Li Ying, are looking forward to it.
The other two male mentors—the gentle Shu Quan and the tall, thin Ai Zhong—also had no objections.
So, Miao Qi moved her hand slightly, took out a crystal, and touched it to the core of the array on the edge of the wall.
In an instant, the crystal burst forth with a bright light.
Miao Qi then infused his profound energy into the vessel.
A projection was released from the crystal.
The scene projected began when the young man in brocade robes first arrived in the wilderness.
·
The instructors clearly saw that the handsome young man was calm and composed, seemingly only glancing around quickly upon landing.
Then, without hesitation, the young man killed the first fox.
It was as if he had known all along that the fox would pounce.
Of course, all the mentors could see that the young man's eyes flickered slightly the instant the fox attacked—not because he already knew, but because he immediately noticed and retaliated.
Several more scenes followed, showing the young man rapidly fighting the savage fox.
Each time, the young man made a move with remarkable efficiency.
No matter how many foxes suddenly attack, the young man can handle it with ease.
·
Li Ying's expression finally relaxed, and she said happily, "Finally, I've met someone not bad!"
The other mentors, upon seeing this, all echoed the sentiment.
"Indeed, very good, strong combat awareness."
"It seems to have experienced being surrounded by savage beasts, or perhaps... it participated in a beast tide."
“In recent years, there have been five beast tides in level-three cities, eight in level-four cities, twelve in level-five cities, and dozens of small beast tides in the state. If he came from the areas where those beast tides occurred, it would be reasonable for him to have participated.”
"They are indeed very adept at dealing with savage beasts."
"His movement and perception are both top-notch."
"His physical body isn't particularly special, but compared to other cultivators who haven't undergone much training, it's already quite good."
"There are no apparent weaknesses at the moment."
The mentors exchanged ideas quickly.
Even though they had only watched the screen for a short while, they were already able to discern many things.
Li Ying said, "The movement techniques and skills are both excellent inheritances."
Sun Qian smiled and said, "If it was obtained from a companion treasure, his aptitude should be outstanding."
Li Ying said dismissively, "As long as one is at least at the Xuan rank, they have the potential to transform into a spirit. If they have good luck, they may even improve their aptitude. Regardless of this kid's aptitude, his combat ability is what it is, and he has a high chance of transforming into a spirit."
The other mentors also agreed.
·
The reason why Azure Dragon Academy only requires Xuan-grade cultivators is because Spirit Transformation cultivators are already considered to be among the top-tier cultivators in the academy.
Moreover, those at the seventh level of the Spirit Transformation realm are the most frequently encountered super-strong individuals in the academy.
The few in the Nirvana Realm are stationed there, serving as a deterrent; they are rarely needed to handle matters in person.
Even the most gifted geniuses can easily perish if they are unlucky.
If they rely on their natural talent without exploring the uses of their innate treasures, they are likely to perish during each breakthrough.
If they lack combat awareness and experience, they are also prone to dying in the siege of wild beasts or the schemes of other cultivators when they travel.
Very few can truly grow and break through to achieve nirvana.
Even those with relatively poor aptitude will only have a much slower speed at drawing upon the energy of heaven and earth, aside from the upper limit.
In some small cities, aptitude can be considered quite important, but in an eighth-level power, there are plenty of resources to help improve one's strength.
While those with high aptitude break through quickly, they will be reminded to solidify the foundation of each realm; those with slightly lower aptitude break through more slowly, but can improve and refine themselves at the same time. In the end, they are still slower than those with high aptitude, but they can still be very stable.
The final results may not differ significantly.
Those with high aptitude who are both fast and stable are not among the majority of cultivators.
·
What Azure Dragon Academy values most is combat strength and comprehension.
Stronger combat capabilities mean stronger survivability.
The higher one's comprehension, the more secret techniques and methods one can learn in the academy—ultimately resulting in stronger combat power and improved survivability.
Living a long time and having enough resources makes it relatively safe to break through to higher realms.
·
Then, the mentors focused more attention on the young man in brocade robes.
Of all the cultivators battling wild beasts in the wilderness, this one possesses the strongest combat power.
Of the remaining few, several were second strongest, but none were as good as the young man in brocade robes.
Simply put, the young man in brocade robes has already slaughtered more than ten rounds, while the others are at most in their fifth round.
After ten rounds or more, a dozen or so savage beasts will occasionally appear.
Five wheels or less, at most four heads.
·
Outside the examination hall.
After watching his master enter the hall, Zhong Cai stood there for a while, feeling a little lost.
Then, he quietly walked to the side.
At this point, Zhong Cai had no acquaintances left in any of his surroundings.
The teams from the major families of Jade Dragon City were all nearby. Those who were going to participate in the assessment, whether they were martial arts cultivators or alchemists, had all successfully entered the hall to undergo the test.
The queue was still very long, and the powerful figures from various families in Jade Dragon City who had originally stayed to accompany the "examinees" had long since given up their places.
Zhong Cai, who has already finished her exams, naturally can't stay here any longer.
·
There is actually quite a bit of open space near the group.
Most of the powerful figures in Jade Dragon City remained gathered together, waiting for the examinees to emerge.
Of the Jade Dragon City cultivators who underwent the previous assessment, none passed except for Zhong Cai.
However, the many powerful figures from Jade Dragon City did not have any special reaction, because they knew very well that the assessment was that difficult. Passing the assessment should be a cause for great joy, while failing it was... perfectly reasonable.
Zhong Cai did not go too far, but stood on the edge of the territory occupied by Yu Jiao City.
He sat down silently.
The direction of their gaze was still the gate of a martial arts hall.
Zhong Cai sighed.
Old Wu has been inside for half an hour now, I wonder how things are going...
I hope everything goes well.
·
Suddenly, Zhong Cai turned her head.
He then noticed that Xia Jiang was not far away, also looking at the palace gate.
Zhong Cai suddenly remembered.
Old Wu's nephew, that brat Wu Dongxiao, also came to participate in the assessment.
Moreover, Wu Dongxiao had been ranked behind them before.
Now, Wu Dongxiao should also be going through the assessment.
Therefore, Xia Jiang waited anxiously.
Xia Jiang had no intention of disturbing Master Zhong, but since Master Zhong noticed him first, he immediately bowed.
Zhong Cai waved her hand, then waved again.
Xia Jiang stepped closer and asked in a low voice, "Master Zhong, please give your instructions."
Zhong Cai casually said, "Nothing in particular, just asking how Dongxiao is feeling?"
Xia Jiang quickly said, "Although the young master is a little nervous, he is quite confident in going with the young master."
Zhong Cai pondered, "Those who participated in the previous fights, the injuries they sustained..."
A hint of worry flashed across Xia Jiang's face, but he also said, "Young Master is not afraid."
Zhong Cai nodded: "Dong Xiao has a very strong will."
Xia Jiang felt the same way, and because of this, he gradually developed a sense of respect for Xia Jiang, instead of feeling guilty and trying to make amends.
For a death guard like him, following the wrong person is the most fatal mistake. If he can follow a master he truly respects, he will be more motivated in his cultivation.
Zhong Cai smiled and casually asked, "Have you prepared the pills for Dong Xiao?"
Xia Jiang replied, "I already exchanged it with the guards."
Zhong Cai nodded again.
Actually, there wasn't much for the two to talk about, but Zhong Cai kept thinking about Wu Shaogan, and since Xia Jiang was practically one of their own, she tried to find a few topics to chat about to ease her mind.
Xia Jiang is the type of person who answers every question.
Similarly, Xia Jiang was even more worried because Wu Dongxiao was young. Being able to talk to Master Zhong Dan did relieve some of his anxiety.
·
After entering the gate, Wu Dongxiao arrived directly in a wilderness.
·
As the second batch of martial arts cultivators entered the main hall, Wu Dongxiao jumped off Xia Jiang's back and followed Wu Shaogan to the right rear, rushing inside quickly.
Perhaps it was because he was too short, or perhaps it was because his two uncles were gazing at each other so intently that no one noticed him at all.
Wu Dongxiao got used to it.
Anyway, after Shao Qing and his uncle entered the hall, he quickly followed them in.
·
The martial arts test will not be lenient on Wu Dongxiao just because he is young.
Like all other cultivators who had reached the Palace of Opening, Wu Dongxiao was attacked by savage beasts just two breaths after he landed!
The first thing to appear was a wild elephant!
Wu Dongxiao's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively jumped backward!
The giant elephant's foot landed squarely on the spot where Wu Dongxiao had been standing.
The ground was cracked, like a spider web.
What incredible strength!
Wu Dongxiao held his breath and quickly rolled to his side.
The giant elephant stomped its second and third feet in succession.
However, Wu Dongxiao dodged them all.
If this continues, Wu Dongxiao will only be able to dodge using his agile movements, which will not be enough to deal with the barbarian elephant.
So while he might save his life, he'd likely fail the test.
Wu Dongxiao gritted his teeth and watched the giant elephant lift its foot at the exact moment!
He quickly rolled to the belly of the giant elephant, and then a halberd suddenly appeared in his hand, which he thrust straight upwards!
The giant elephant let out a mournful cry and continued its frantic trampling!
The ground shook, and Wu Dongxiao raised his halberd. After a few more rolls, the halberd smoothly sliced open the giant elephant's belly.
At the same time, the halberd disappeared from Wu Dongxiao's hand, while Wu Dongxiao himself had already arrived more than ten feet away.
The giant elephant seemed to want to charge again!
However, the flesh torn open by the halberd was extremely fragile, and its internal organs fell out through the wound.
Despite its terrifying size and strength, it is only at the second tier, first stage.
Wu Dongxiao's level is similar to itss.
The giant elephant's defense is only slightly stronger than that of other elephants of the same level.
That halberd was Wu Dongxiao's companion treasure. Even though he couldn't use it yet, its sharpness was as easy as cutting through tofu when it cut through the defenses of a second-tier savage beast.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Dongxiao couldn't be idle.
Two more savage wolves attacked from different directions.
Wu Dongxiao simply rolled around on the spot.
Savage wolves...
It still feels very familiar.
Wu Dongxiao lives with his two uncles and doesn't bother them, but he occasionally sees his uncles' contracted rare beasts.
One of the rare beasts is the blue giant wolf.
Very occasionally, Wu Dongxiao also "communicated" with that giant wolf.
The giant wolf had a good temper and would even give him some pointers.
So if other savage beasts appeared, Wu Dongxiao might roll around a few times to avoid them, but when it comes to dealing with savage wolves, he can come up with a solution right away.
Soon, Wu Dongxiao found the wolf's weakness.
The black halberd in his hand appeared and disappeared intermittently, each time bringing great destructive power.
Wu Dongxiao used all his profound energy on his movement techniques, without injecting any into the black halberd.
Because, with his current strength, even if he poured all his energy into it, it would be a drop in the ocean.
All you need to do is rely on its own strength.
·
It was also a monitored secret room, and several palace construction instructors were examining the various images on the walls.
It is just like the test for those who have undergone consecration, no, it is even worse.
Perhaps because cultivators who have entered the Palace Realm have less time to cultivate and less experience than those who have entered the Light Realm, more than 80% of them suffered minor injuries when the savage beasts first appeared.
Only about 20% remained vigilant and managed to evade detection.
Of course, there were also those who were strong and had a good fighting spirit, and they killed the first savage beast.
Naturally, these cultivators who had opened palaces attracted attention.
Suddenly, one of the instructors exclaimed in a low voice, "There's actually a five or six-year-old kid here?"
The other instructors followed the gaze and were all surprised to find that there was indeed a little brat rolling around under the elephant's feet, looking quite dangerous.
However, they soon discovered that the boy's expression was resolute, and he seemed to have no fear whatsoever.
Not long after, that brat killed the barbarian elephant with a top-grade level eight halberd!
That's quite shocking.
The mentor who first discovered the cub said, "A very clever boy. His physique and strength are not enough to break through the barbarian elephant's defense, so he takes advantage of the treasure he was born with."
All the mentors knew very well that the weight of that level eight halberd was terrifying; only if it was that kid's companion treasure could he lift it.
Another mentor said, "Then, the aptitude is top-notch."
Although there are quite a few Heaven-grade talents accumulated through training in the Azure Dragon Academy, top-grade Earth-grade talent is also quite good.
Immediately, one of the mentors laughed and said, "This kid is not bad, I want to take him as my apprentice."
The other mentors were also quite eager to try their luck.
At such a young age, he already possesses such a fighting spirit. With proper training, he will become an outstanding disciple.
And in the short time they were talking, that brat killed two wild wolves.
Many other older candidates, some decades older than the first one, were still struggling against the first savage beast, but this kid already possessed such abilities!
The first person to discover this kid's ability was a tall, thin woman.
The woman was not considered beautiful; on the contrary, her features and cheeks were very thin, and she could only be described as plain-looking.
The deep lines around her eyebrows, in particular, reveal that she is actually a rather serious person.
The woman spoke again, her voice slightly hoarse: "I will accept this disciple."
Upon hearing this, the other mentors all looked at her.
The slender woman said firmly, "I'm here to proctor him; we're destined to be together."
Other mentors: "..."
They were all proctoring this kid's exam; they were all destined to meet!
The woman snorted coldly: "I was the first to find him; none of you are as fortunate as I am."
Other mentors: "..."
They had actually seen it, but they were just a step too late to speak up.
The woman seemed to know what they were thinking and continued, "Later is still later."
Judging from her attitude alone, she was determined to win.
·
The other mentors also thought highly of that kid, but now it seems that if they want to take him on, they might have to fight with their colleagues.
For a moment, they fell silent.
This Wan Tianfeng is not someone to be trifled with. Moreover, although everyone else is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, she has already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment.
If nothing unexpected happens, Wan Tianfeng will very likely break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm!
If a fight breaks out, they won't be able to beat her.
Moreover, Wan Tianfeng is very vengeful.
If someone beats her to it and insists on taking that brat under their name, she'll probably never have a peaceful life from now on.
Wan Tianfeng continued, "I only have one disciple under my name, while you have at least three or five. Now that I've finally taken a liking to another one, do you intend to compete with me for him?"
After hearing this, the other mentors eventually gave up.
That makes sense. They all have quite a few disciples under their names, but Wan Tianfeng's lineage is still quite empty.
If it really comes down to a fight, they can each offer generous terms, but Wan Tianfeng can definitely offer more.
Compared to them, they are indeed lacking.
Moreover, Wan Tianfeng's disciple Xuan Bing is also quite outstanding. Not only is his combat ability excellent, but he is also a disciple on both the Azure Dragon Ranking and the Hidden Dragon Ranking. He is also very filial to Wan Tianfeng.
If Wan Tianfeng is unwilling and gets angry, she could send her disciple to challenge their disciples one by one...
It seems that none of their disciples can defeat that brat Xuan Bing.
If we lose the entire war, wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?
