Chapter 80 Continued Assessment
Wu Dongxiao himself was unaware of the struggle taking place in the surveillance room.
At this moment, he was facing three identical savage wolves.
Fortunately, they haven't formed an encirclement yet, giving him a direction to escape.
Then Wu Dongxiao quickly moved around the vicinity and began to ambush the barbarian wolves.
Hunter and prey are constantly exchanging roles.
Wu Dongxiao's mind was clear, and he felt very fortunate.
Fortunately, since he was cured of the poison, he has been honing his skills like crazy, not only picking up all the skills he had learned before, but also trying his best to improve the movement techniques inherited from the Black Dragon Halberd.
Although he only achieved minor success, and although he only used it to have more chances to escape during hunts, there is no doubt that he put it to good use in this assessment.
Wu Dongxiao didn't know how many more savage beasts would attack from behind, but he was determined to do his best.
·
The assessment of those who cultivate for consecration takes place in the wilderness.
Wu Shaogan drew back the bowstring and fired ten arrows at once.
All the arrows flew in the designated direction and, in a very short time, broke the necks of the ten frenzied beasts that were charging at them.
Without their heads, the savage beasts naturally collapsed to the ground.
Then, Wu Shaogan moved with incredible speed, swinging his hard bow in a backhand motion and smashing several beast heads.
What if it can't be broken?
—After all, Wu Shaogan is currently using a low-grade level four bow and arrow, and some tough-bodied level three beasts have very strong defenses.
In the next instant, Wu Shaogan's bowstring will be pulled back, severing the beast's head.
As time went on, Wu Shaogan had exhausted all his moves.
Just like in the arena battle in Jade Dragon City, after he was attacked many times, all the onlookers had seen his skills.
Even if you see it all, you can't resist it, and it's useless.
·
The palace-building instructors monitoring the secret chamber were naturally able to see Wu Shaogan's abilities much faster.
Their expressions showed even greater admiration for him.
"That's about twenty rounds."
“In the previous round, thirty different types of savage beasts appeared, but they couldn’t last more than a few moves against him.”
"This boy has a very solid foundation and his skills are superb."
"Indeed, every time he kills a savage beast, he allocates his Xuan energy with remarkable precision, without wasting a single drop! He is especially skilled in archery..."
"He fired ten arrows from a single bow, each arrow imbued with different profound energy. His control over this energy was exquisite and meticulous!"
"I never expected that such a person would appear among this year's examinees."
"As long as he has good comprehension, he will definitely be able to enter the inner courtyard!"
"He will surely be noticed by senior mentors who will invite him to become a resident disciple."
Originally, neither of the mentors had offered to take him as a disciple.
However, they heard Ai Zhong utter his last words.
The other mentors all turned their attention to Ai Zhong.
Ai Zhong smiled and said, "I was just about to recommend him to my eldest master."
The other mentors laughed and cursed, "What a cunning thief!"
Ai Zhong raised his eyebrows: "I act frankly, unlike you all, who clearly have your own plans but refuse to say them, instead taking the opportunity to scold me."
The other mentors all laughed.
·
Indeed, none of the five mentors present were alone.
They were all resident disciples, and with the support of their senior brothers and sisters, they became teaching assistants to instructors of the same school. Later, their strength improved to the level of building palaces, and they gradually became instructors.
Many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and within their faction, powerful figures at the Spirit Transformation Realm—that is, advanced instructors—have emerged.
Most of the instructors who are willing to take on this proctoring task are either members of their respective factions who are interested in accepting new students, or they themselves want to take on apprentices.
Typically, if they have high hopes for someone, they will make an initial gesture of goodwill after that person passes the assessment.
If I want to take on apprentices, I will decide based on the circumstances—perhaps I will send an invitation after the other person passes the assessment, or I will bail them out after they almost pass the assessment and admit them into the academy as an exception.
But if you really like it, and feel you can't accept it...
So, of course, they quickly sent messages to their respective factions, attaching relevant images, and inquired whether any senior mentors wanted to take them on.
If a senior mentor takes a liking to you, they will issue a high-level invitation.
If senior mentors don't approve of their students, these mentors will usually extend their own invitations and try to take them on as apprentices.
·
As Wu Shaogan slaughtered more and more savage beasts, the five mentors, including Li Ying, indeed became increasingly optimistic about him.
At the same time, they also realized with a keen sense that they might not be able to teach this guy.
For a master to want to take on a disciple, it's either because their own lineage is a good match for the disciple, or even if they aren't a good match, they like the disciple and are able to teach them.
While the mentors are all very powerful and each has an outstanding lineage, they can tell from the methods Wu Shaogan has displayed that he is extremely strong in all aspects within the same realm, and his overall strength is also extremely balanced.
They couldn't offer Wu Shaogan any suitable guidance.
Based on the abilities Wu Shaogan has demonstrated so far, he has already achieved what is arguably the best and most comprehensive among those at his level.
They can't even find fault with it or point it out.
How can we collect it now?
Should we go through all the trouble of competing with others to take him in, only to then tell him "I am powerless to help"?
Moreover, a cultivator like Wu Shaogan, who is very self-aware, probably already knows how to improve his realms such as Suspension Illumination and Fusion, and his inheritance will also contain such teachings.
If one of the instructors also practices archery, perhaps they could share their years of experience and skills with Wu Shaogan, and also pass on their archery techniques and traditions to him.
However, no.
So the idea of these mentors was to inform their respective factions.
If a senior mentor were to take on Wu Shaogan, even if he couldn't offer much guidance, he would still clearly possess the experience to break through from the Enlightenment stage all the way to the Spirit Transformation stage.
At the same time, senior mentors can provide him with more protection, mobilize more resources to cultivate him, operate within the academy for a longer period, and provide him with greater assistance in other aspects.
The Nirvana Realm cultivators in the academy spend an enormous amount of time cultivating and would never take on disciples.
The best master the academy can offer right now is someone at the Spirit Transformation Realm.
·
The five mentors' gazes remained fixed on Wu Shaogan.
However, Wu Shaogan's side is very stable, and there has never been the slightest accident.
So, the mentors would occasionally glance at the other small screen images.
Although many of the cultivators taking the exam were far inferior to Wu Shaogan, the strength of Wu Shaogan's side served as a reassurance, and even the hot-tempered Li Ying was more inclined to observe the other cultivators' exams.
Sun Qian smiled and said, "Junior Sister Ying, take a closer look. Apart from those who are restless, there are actually quite a few outstanding individuals among this group of cultivators. They are quite good."
Li Ying snorted.
·
On the wall, many small images were lit up.
Wu Shaogan's image was directly enlarged by them, while another thirty or forty images were pulled below the largest image.
It shimmered with a faint light.
The radiance was a mark casually made by many mentors, and the techniques displayed by the cultivators were also ones that the mentors took a second look at.
I'm fairly optimistic about it.
·
Each batch of participants in the martial arts assessment has five thousand people.
Among them, Tianyin and Bigong are the most common.
Each consecration ceremony costs a maximum of a little over a thousand yuan.
Cultivators at the Suspended Illumination Realm usually do not mingle with those at lower realms. Instead, they choose a relatively unified time to enter a certain assessment hall together.
We are now in the second batch.
Like the second batch, most cultivators in the first batch were trying to listen to the assessment rules without being vigilant enough, resulting in minor injuries.
However, compared to the mediocre performance of the remaining examinees in the first batch, there are quite a few worth watching in the second batch.
Not everyone can pass the assessment, but at least they won't be an eyesore.
·
Sun Qian counted, "This one, this one, and this one." She tapped her fingers lightly a few times, piecing together several images, then fiddled with other images, "These, and these."
Li Ying hadn't been quite focused before, but now, following Sun Qian's gaze, her expression shifted slightly.
"They seem to be from the same family?"
Sun Qian nodded.
The other mentors also noticed it.
Sun Qian divided the images into three groups, each containing about four or five images. Although the methods they displayed were different, some traces of their fighting styles were similar, indicating that they should indeed come from the same faction.
Looking at their appearances, there are also faint similarities, making it obvious that they are of the same race.
Shu Quan suddenly laughed and said, "These people are all from Jade Dragon City and belong to three level-six families."
Sun Qian was taken aback: "You know Professor Shu?"
Shu Quan nodded and said, "Some time ago, Jade Dragon City had a family-specific ranking event, and three level-six families participated."
The other mentors seemed to understand: "That means they've all been through the beast tide test."
No wonder, no wonder.
Miao Qi suddenly grinned, revealing his teeth: "Brother Shu, I remember you were very happy before, and even had a few drinks with some people. Could it be that the family that successfully placed the order has some connection with you?"
Sun Qian recalled briefly: "It seems you also summoned someone else."
Shu Quan didn't hide anything and readily said, "The Bai family of Jade Dragon City has been designated as a Yellow-Rank family. I do have some connection with the Bai family, not for any other reason than that the senior who founded the Bai family belongs to the same lineage as me. Furthermore, a member of the Bai family had previously entered the Inner Court and has only recently reached the Suspended Illumination Realm; he is an elite disciple of the Inner Court."
"Although that Bai family member is not particularly outstanding, my faction is still observing him. However, we do have some connections with him, and some of my disciples are taking care of him."
The person summoned was naturally Bai Jiazi, but he was cultivating at the time, and the person meeting Bai Jiazi was one of his disciples. The purpose was to inform him in advance of Bai Jiazi's successful attainment of his rank.
The other mentors were aware of this.
Therefore, the mentors also became interested. After glancing at Wu Shaogan, who remained perfectly stable, they simply started watching the dozens of selected footage as well.
Ai Zhong suddenly zoomed in on a scene and said, "This one is not bad; it has the style of my younger days."
The other mentors looked over as well.
On the screen, a young man in a dark red robe suddenly leaped high between two wild bulls.
The two bulls immediately clashed.
The bulls' horns clashed, neither willing to give way.
The young man in the red shirt fell from a great height, wielding an iron bar, striking hard on both sides.
Both bulls let out a howl and were about to fall over.
The young man in red seemed to suddenly split into two, each kicking one of the two bulls in the rump.
The two bulls instantly fell towards each other.
The angle must have been deliberately calculated; somehow the bull's horn twisted and pierced the opponent's abdomen.
His intestines and stomach all fell out.
Many mentors: "..."
Ai Zhong nodded in satisfaction.
·
Shao Qing wielded his iron rod, leaping nimbly among the savage beasts.
They had just killed two wild bulls when five more wild sheep appeared.
It still has horns.
It's awful, really awful.
But no matter how upset he was, Shao Qing wouldn't shy away from the problem.
He has persevered through the ninth round of assessments since they began.
The family had never mentioned coming to the wilderness before, but they had mentioned that the assessment would be difficult and that we should always be vigilant.
...Of course, even without this reminder, Shao Qing would instinctively feel goosebumps when he arrived in an unfamiliar place, and dare not relax his guard in the slightest.
After officially engaging the savage beasts, Shao Qing had already made various plans in order to conserve his energy as much as possible and persevere in the fierce battle.
As time went on, Shao Qing felt somewhat fortunate.
During the previous competition for the product, he witnessed Brother Wu's terrifying endurance in the arena battle, and after returning, he pondered it carefully.
His foundation is already solid, but he can practice the way he distributes his profound energy more.
With his hard work, Shao Qing indeed reduced his consumption significantly compared to before.
Now it just so happens to come in handy.
The beast tide encountered during the ordering process was also a valuable lesson learned by Shao Qing's steadfast defense of the city walls.
After all, there are many more savage beasts that rush over together during a beast tide, and they can all fly!
Shao Qing felt that even if someone who could fly came now, he could handle it!
then……
After Shao Qing skillfully maneuvered among the wild sheep and killed them, the flying creatures truly arrived.
Two eagles flew directly at each other.
This thing has really powerful claws!
Shao Qing's lips twitched slightly, and he immediately raised the iron bar and swung it left and right.
The sound of the collision was like the clang of metal against metal, and the eagle's sharp claws were smashed open by the iron rod.
·
Ai Zhong smiled and said, "I've got my eye on this one."
Although Li Ying and the other mentors thought Shao Qing was alright, they had no intention of taking him on as a disciple. Now that they heard what Ai Zhong said, none of them competed for him.
They were well aware that Ai Zhong liked disciples like this.
Shao Qing clearly inherited the skills of using sticks, just like Ai Zhong did.
Ai Zhong's two previous disciples were both broad-minded and cheerful.
Although it's not clear yet, judging from the clues in their fighting style among the beasts, it's pretty much the case.
It's perfectly normal for Ai Zhong to appreciate it.
·
The scenes selected by the mentors were all decent, with members of the three top families of Jade Dragon City occupying more than ten of them.
Each family has three or five.
If anyone from Jade Dragon City were here, they would immediately notice that those selected were all potential palace builders from various families.
Most of the other cultivators who entered the examination outside of Jade Dragon City also came from some decent families.
Those who belong to the category of independent cultivators are few and far between.
The reason why independent cultivators do not become disciples is often because they lack the necessary aptitude, and the inheritance they receive is also mostly flawed.
Now that the Azure Dragon Academy is recruiting disciples, it is their opportunity, and they are all putting in their best efforts.
Those who can still be selected in this way must have excellent combat awareness.
In the past, they should have had some reputation among independent cultivators of the same level.
·
Wave after wave of savage beasts relentlessly attacked and tested the cultivators who were about to enter the examination.
Anyone who is seriously injured will be pulled out by the mentors and put into the next round of comprehension assessment.
As long as they can persevere, the mentors will let them go.
Countless cultivators bore injuries of varying degrees.
Even those few dozen who were selected as good ones suffered some injuries one after another.
Only Wu Shaogan and two or three other cultivators were unharmed.
And Wu Shaogan was the only one who didn't have any damage to his clothes.
Gradually, more than eleven hours had passed.
·
Wu Shaogan stood in the center of the wilderness, surrounded by savage beasts charging from all directions.
Densely packed, a dense, oppressive mass.
Many of these heads were extremely large, seemingly capable of crushing Wu Shaogan with just a stomp, leaving him no chance to escape.
But in reality, they simply cannot do it.
Wu Shaogan seemed to transform into countless shadows in an instant, appearing simultaneously in countless places.
Wherever he appeared, he reaped the life of a savage beast.
These seemingly overwhelming shadows that threatened Wu Shaogan were instead eliminated one by one by him.
The corpses of savage beasts kept falling to the ground and disappearing.
However, there were too many savage beasts. Even after he killed them, more kept coming, seemingly constantly replenishing their numbers and continuously surrounding him.
Wu Shaogan's face finally turned slightly pale.
This is a sign that most of the profound energy has been consumed.
·
The mentors were deeply impressed.
This kid has reached the final stage of the Wilderness Battle assessment!
Throughout the history of Azure Dragon Academy, very few people have ever made it to the end in any test that uses a similar method.
Those who make it to the end all possess top-tier combat awareness.
Such cultivators, if properly nurtured and not killed off halfway, can at least achieve Spirit Transformation, and more than 50% can even attain Nirvana!
A very small number of them reached the Heavenly Realm.
Some deeply entrenched mentors know that the current governor who is suppressing the entire state actually trained at the Azure Dragon Academy for a period of time.
The lord of the state was not a disciple of the Azure Dragon Academy and had concealed his identity back then. However, with the help of the current academy master, this lord of the state had undergone similar training.
They also made it to the final round!
Moreover, it was the governor who overcame the final hurdle.
·
The mentors exchanged glances, their expressions showing a hint of tension.
Is there any chance this kid can also clear the level?
Although passing the final hurdle does not guarantee reaching the Heavenly Realm, it does offer a greater chance of success compared to ordinary genius cultivators.
So……
Li Ying remained calm and said in a deep voice, "Don't give him too much special attention. Just give him the treatment he deserves based on his final grades. But, no matter where you do it, you must not deduct anything!"
The other mentors also agreed.
Give him everything he needs, and to avoid affecting his character, the rest is up to the master who will accept him.
At the same time, all the mentors quickly relayed the message to their respective factions.
All the details of Wu Shaogan's trials and tribulations were recorded in great detail.
·
After the message was sent, the mentors paid even closer attention to Wu Shaogan.
Half of the savage beasts surrounding Wu Shaogan disappeared in that short time.
His figure appeared, disappeared, and reappeared all over the place, as densely packed as a savage beast.
It can be described as a one-on-one "accompaniment".
More savage beasts died.
The mentors were even more on edge.
Finally, only one savage beast remained in front of Wu Shaogan!
That was a savage beast at the peak of the third tier.
It is a giant python.
It had attacked Wu Shaogan before, but unfortunately the other beasts hindered its offensive and it was of little use.
Wu Shaogan drew back the bowstring.
In that instant, he leaped into the air, narrowly dodging the giant python's long tail.
The python's tail slammed heavily into the ground!
The ground cracked open, revealing countless spiderweb-like fissures.
At the same time, the giant python raised its body, its red tongue flicking in and out like a blood-red whip, chasing after Wu Shaogan in the air.
Wu Shaogan had already drawn his bowstring, as if he had expected it, and just as he turned in mid-air, the arrow on the bowstring shot out instantly.
One arrow, two eyes!
Yes, the python's eye was shot through.
The python went blind, and its forked tongue retracted rapidly.
However, the python itself has very strong perception. The loss of its eye only weakened its strength to some extent, but it could still chase after Wu Shaogan and attack him frantically.
Wu Shaogan remained calm and composed, each step he took was extremely deliberate.
Each time, he deftly dodged the python's tail attack.
The giant python opened its mouth and spewed out a large amount of flames.
The flames contained a deadly poison.
Wu Shaogan easily dodged it again.
As the flames burst forth, the spilled toxins corroded large swaths of land, but failed to touch even the hem of Wu Shaogan's clothes.
·
The mentors waited patiently.
Only a dozen or so small scenes remain, corresponding to the battle between Wu Shaogan and the giant python.
Most of the cultivators in those small scenes had faces as pale as paper, were extremely haggard, and covered in wounds.
They've managed to hold on this long, which shows their incredible endurance.
·
The Wilderness Battle assessment consists of only fifty rounds.
In the first forty rounds, the number of savage beasts appearing at one time will not exceed thirty.
From the forty-first round to the forty-third round, there will be no fewer than thirty heads in each round.
From the forty-fourth round onwards, ten more heads are added in each round.
By the fiftieth round, there will be a full one hundred heads!
Even if you kill ninety-nine out of a hundred, there will still be one top-tier beast among beasts of the same level that is extremely powerful in all aspects.
If the cultivators taking the exam, after such intense exertion, can still kill this top-tier being...
That's really, really terrifying.
·
The instructors were nervous because, of those cultivators who had reached the fiftieth round but failed to break through, half of them had fallen before this final savage beast.
Furthermore, the Wilderness Battle assessment time is limited to one day.
That is, twelve two-hour periods.
There is only half an hour left.
·
Wu Shaogan's profound energy was reduced to only one-tenth.
At this moment, his expression was calm, but his eyes were lifeless.
In this deathly silence, a subtle, fiery aura flickered.
This is so annoying.
This python is so annoying.
It wasted too much of his time.
Kill him.
I need to finish my exams quickly so I can go visit A-Cai.
·
Wu Shaogan's attack became extremely violent.
Each time he drew his bow, he shot only one arrow.
This arrow consumed a great deal of mystic energy, and its angle was extremely tricky.
It was precisely because of this calculation that Wu Shaogan's face grew even paler, and he became somewhat gloomy.
In addition, his extremely fast movements, appearing and disappearing like a ghost, were quite eerie.
The giant python howled in agony as it attacked wildly, but suddenly dozens of long arrows appeared on its body.
The arrow burned fiercely and quickly pierced its scales.
Then, the giant python began to roll on the ground.
Wu Shaogan suddenly appeared on the python's head and thrust the hard bow into it, as if piercing through a bone.
Then, the bowstring twirled, wrapping around the giant python's single horn, binding it tightly and embedding it within its keratin.
Wu Shaogan grabbed the hard bow, twisted the single horn, and soared into the air.
What's terrifying is that he actually managed to pull the giant python up.
The entire python was suspended high up.
The bowstring cut a slit at the base of the unicorn horn, which was being pulled slowly out of the python's head by its weight.
The giant python was in excruciating pain, its tail thrashing wildly.
But it didn't work.
It turned out that its python tail had been pierced by several sharp arrows at some point, and was now firmly fixed to the ground.
·
And so, Wu Shaogan hovered in the air, swaying his body slightly to avoid the poisonous fire spewed by the giant python.
The python's venomous fire is limited.
A cornered beast's struggle is futile.
Finally, the python's single horn was completely pulled out.
This single horn is its Achilles' heel.
The giant python began to tremble violently, its tail thrashing wildly.
The cracks in the ground are increasing.
Finally, the giant python raised its tail high.
but……
Beneath the giant python, countless pebbles suddenly appeared.
The earth cracked open.
The arrow could no longer be firmly planted, and the giant python was thus freed.
However, the next moment, the giant python fell into the deep pit below.
During the fall, the python was repeatedly struck, and the arrows embedded in its body caused it even more damage.
The python's vitality was truly tenacious; it continued to hiss in pain.
Wu Shaogan hovered in mid-air, drew back the bowstring, and casually pulled the bowstring repeatedly toward the large cave where the giant python was.
The python's voice grew weaker and weaker.
Finally, there was no further movement.
Wu Shaogan stood expressionless high in the sky, waiting quietly.
At this point, no more savage beasts appeared.
·
The mentors slowly exhaled.
There was still half a quarter of an hour left before the end of the first day of assessment.
But without a doubt, this kid has already passed the test, and his score must be the best!
Li Ying smiled happily: "Alright, this trip wasn't a waste!"
The other mentors all agreed wholeheartedly.
·
The cultivators who were still fighting for their lives were originally engaged in a fierce battle with the savage beasts.
Suddenly, a voice rang in their ears.
"Wild Fighter assessment complete!"
"All cultivators who are still persevering have passed the first test."
"Please, all cultivators, quickly adjust your breathing. After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, we will enter the second stage!"
Many cultivators discovered that the surrounding savage beasts had all disappeared.
Then, they sat down on the ground with a sigh of relief.
I'm so tired, so very tired.
This whole day was so tough.
·
Wu Shaogan moved slightly and landed on the ground.
The surrounding area was full of potholes and mess, and the place where he could stand was already a rare find.
Wu Shaogan remained motionless, like a statue.
He heard those sounds as well, and his expression relaxed slightly.
We're about to move on to the second stage.
very good.
At that moment, three golden letters suddenly appeared in Wu Shaogan's hand.
Wu Shaogan did not open it immediately, but with a slight thought, he put it into the ancient city.
A little while later, Wu Shaogan arrived at a very spacious and quiet room.
Although the quiet room is spacious, it is not empty.
There are already many cultivators here.
Wu Shaogan glanced at it.
Those who arrived before him sat cross-legged on the prayer mats in front of the wall.
The walls are gray with many messy lines on them. At first glance, it's impossible to understand anything, but if you concentrate a little, you can sense that the lines are not entirely random.
It seems to contain something?
The cultivators on the meditation cushions all stared at these lines.
Some of them looked fascinated, some were completely bewildered, some seemed to have a splitting headache, and some had distorted expressions...
However, some cultivators had varied expressions or remained calm and composed, but they all seemed to be deep in thought and showed no unusual behavior.
·
Wu Shaogan understood.
This is where one's comprehension is tested.
Those who enter the examination here try to understand what the lines convey. Those with good comprehension will have a normal experience, while those with poor comprehension will be in a daze, bewildered, or even crazy.
At that moment, someone walked quickly over.
Wu Shaogan's ears twitched slightly, and he turned his head to look.
It's Shao Qing.
Despite his exhaustion, Shao Qing greeted him with a smile, "Brother Wu, it's been a long time."
Wu Shaogan nodded slightly: "Brother Shao also persevered until the very last day."
Shao Qing smiled.
After struggling through the entire day, he was exhausted and his injuries were quite severe. Fortunately, he had avoided vital organs, and most of his injuries were superficial and fleshy, which would be easy to treat after the assessment.
Shao Qing was overjoyed when she heard the assessment results.
He passed the first hurdle!
To his delight, he received an invitation.
It was a letter from a palace-building instructor who said he was willing to take him as a disciple.
Originally, as long as Shao Qing's comprehension was not too bad, he could basically pass the comprehension test.
However, if his comprehension is slightly weaker, with this invitation, his mentor can still help him pass the test.
I don't know if there will be a third level...
But right now, Shao Qing is certain that he is already considered a prospective disciple of the academy.
After his initial excitement, Shao Qing went to the quiet room.
He recognized Wu Shaogan at first glance—that is, this Brother Wu, who has such a distinguished appearance.
Upon closer inspection, Shao Qing realized that this Brother Wu was quite different from him. Apart from his aura being much weaker than before he entered the arena, Brother Wu was completely unharmed.
Of course, this was also within Shao Qing's expectations.
Shao Qinggang wanted to ask Brother Wu what kind of invitation he had received, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
After all, there are many people here, and many cultivators are also comprehending. If they haven't received an invitation, but he comes to inquire about Brother Wu, wouldn't that just be making Brother Wu look bad?
So, Shao Qing simply greeted Wu Shaogan.
·
Soon, all the new cultivators heard a voice again.
This test of comprehension requires cultivators to glean a method from the chaotic lines on the wall.
It is a technique used by all combat disciples of the Azure Dragon Academy.
"The Divided Soul Dragon Battle Technique"
This method is actually a secret technique that combines movement, defense, combat skills, and more. Any disciple of the Azure Dragon Sect who learns it will have their combat power greatly enhanced.
Moreover, when all the Azure Dragon disciples encounter a crisis, if their fellow disciples are nearby, they can unite and improve their overall combat strength to a certain extent.
There are many other secret techniques within the academy that can be used in conjunction with this combat method.
This tactic requires a strong understanding to master.
If you don't have a natural affinity with the battle tactics, you'll learn far fewer battle tactics than other Azure Dragon disciples.
Therefore, the benefits gained from joining the academy would probably not be enough.
So, instead of always being inferior to others in the academy, it's better to try your luck in other factions.
...Of course, that's a nice way of putting it.
In short, a cultivator who cannot comprehend this combat technique at all has insufficient comprehension.
·
Wu Shaogan didn't say much. After exchanging a few words with Shao Qing, he found an empty futon and sat down cross-legged.
Before him, countless chaotic lines unfolded.
Wu Shaogan focused his mind on meditation.
In just a moment, the numerous lines seemed to dance, slowly revealing many scenes.
Wu Shaogan was slightly taken aback.
Then, following these images, he began to contemplate them.
·
The instructors in the monitoring room also began to pay attention to this hurdle of comprehension.
Their first focus was naturally on Wu Shaogan.
It was then discovered that Shao Qing, whom Ai Zhong had his eye on, was actually quite familiar with Wu Shaogan.
Ai Zhong's eyes flickered slightly.
According to reports from everyone, three senior mentors have already sent golden invitations.
The one behind Ai Zhong did not deliver it immediately.
This wasn't because he didn't want to accept a disciple, but rather because he was being more cautious and was still preparing the benefits he would offer.
Once Wu Shaogan has grasped the meaning, their faction will send out an invitation.
At the same time, he sent an invitation to Shao Qing.
If all goes well...
Ai Zhong's expression took on a slightly strange look.
The one who wanted to take on a disciple was none other than Ai Zhong's senior uncle.
So……
The Shao Qing he wanted to take in might end up becoming Wu Shaogan's apprentice.
That's really interesting.
·
After Wu Shaogan sat down, the mentors all composed themselves and watched his reaction.
As soon as Wu Shaogan looked at the wall, a strange aura emanated from his body.
Li Ying exclaimed, "He's already comprehending it!"
Sun Qian also found it unbelievable: "It's too fast."
Many mentors found it hard to believe.
·
This tactic is actually quite complex.
Although the Azure Dragon Academy recruits disciples from countless cities each time, anyone who receives the news can try to take the exam.
However, the academy is an eighth-level power, and it doesn't accept just anyone.
Therefore, the assessment is quite rigorous.
Each time, hundreds of thousands of people participate in the assessment, but only about three thousand are ultimately able to pass and enter the School of Foreign Languages.
Of these three thousand people, most will stay in the outer courtyard.
There will be a new assessment in three years, and most of them will fail.
Ultimately, out of the three thousand, at most three hundred will remain in the outer courtyard.
Then came many more assessments, each one more difficult than the last.
The Azure Dragon Academy provides many opportunities for outer court disciples to improve, and only those who meet the academy's requirements through countless improvements are qualified to become true Azure Dragon disciples.
Even cultivators who have reached the Enlightenment Realm or the Illumination Realm are not all able to directly enter the Inner Court after passing the assessment.
The vast majority of them were just outer court disciples, and they still had to undergo assessments.
Those disciples who are able to directly enter the inner courtyard for consecration also have to undergo assessment.
These assessments will not cause them to fall back into the outer college, but their performance will determine the treatment they receive in the inner college.
·
Therefore, since this battle strategy is used as a standard for assessing comprehension, it must be quite difficult.
Even these mentors, when they were trying to comprehend this level, it took them at least several hours before they could officially begin.
