What appeared in front of Li Ran was a puppet made of special materials. The puppet had a cultivation level similar to Li Ran himself. It was also wearing a set of low-grade immortal weapon armor and holding a low-grade flying sword. In short, everything seemed to be no different from Li Ran.
“clang!”
Li Ran's sword collided with the puppet's, making a sharp sound of iron cutting. During the stalemate, circles of invisible energy waves swept around, and their power should not be underestimated.
After testing it with a sword, Li Ran couldn't help but sigh at the profound foundation of the super power. The quality of this puppet's immortal energy was not inferior to his at all. It can be imagined that the strength of this puppet's immortal energy was simulated according to the strength of the immortal energy in the candidate's body. I wonder how Jinlongshan managed this huge project with nearly one million people.
Li Ran's twelfth incarnation, apart from possessing a top-grade mid-level golden spiritual root, did not have any other additional talents. It was not that he could not, but that he did not want to. According to his understanding of the three realms of immortals, demons and monsters, spiritual root possessors were almost extinct, and he did not know why.
You have to know that on Blue Star, those without spiritual roots are considered to be waste of cultivation. You can imagine the difference between having spiritual roots and not having spiritual roots. The top-grade middle-grade golden spiritual roots of his clone are enough to attract the greatest attention from everyone in Jinlong Mountain, but if he goes against the will of heaven again, it would be a loss.
With his mid-grade 12th-order gold spiritual roots, without any other external conditions, his cultivation speed and the quality of the immortal essence he cultivated were eight times that of those with low-grade 1st-order spiritual roots! Compared to those without spiritual roots, the gap was even greater, enough to gain a foothold in Jinlong Mountain.
"With nearly a million people, everyone can take the postgraduate entrance exam at the same time. This alone is enough to make Jinlongshan proud of the three realms of immortals, demons, and monsters..."
"Oh, it would be great if I could enter Golden Dragon Mountain, but unfortunately I don't even have the qualifications to run for Golden Dragon Mountain!"
"Let's forget about us mortals. You have to know that even geniuses like Young Master Yeyu and Fairy Chilian, as well as other royal families of various immortal nations, have only one path to take: the outer disciple assessment. This shows how profound the foundation of Jinlong Mountain is, and how high the requirements for the qualifications and talents of their disciples are!"
Looking at these talented young men who had passed the first round of assessment and were starting the second round one after another, the cultivators around the central square and other places in Wenlu City couldn't help but discuss with their companions.
"Look, Fairy Chilian has started the second round of tests!"
"It's the Red Lotus Fairy. She's worthy of being a fairy on the Beauty List. Compared to the others, she's really more hesitant!"
"Yes, with Fairy Chilian's qualifications, she could directly enter the inner sect or even become a core disciple in other superpowers. But she didn't do that. Instead, she came to participate in the outer sect assessment at Jinlong Mountain. This shows how high her ambition is and how far she aims!"
The Red Lotus Fairy's beautiful eyes were quite solemn, and she was completely focused, staring intently at the ordinary-looking puppet in front of her. She was determined to enter the Golden Dragon Mountain, so naturally she would not act aimlessly and would act based on her confidence.
Before participating in the once-in-a-century assessment at Jinlong Mountain, she had a clear understanding of the three tests of the Jinlong Mountain Outer Disciple Recruitment Ceremony. She was confident that she could pass the first and third tests, but she was a little less confident about the second test. However, even if she failed, she would not regret coming to participate in this conference.
As a fairy on the Beauty List, she naturally has unlimited beauty, but at the same time she also bears enormous pressure. Countless cultivators are eyeing her. This is nothing, the bad thing is that she does not have enough strength and background to protect herself.
The puppet is a dead thing and has no mercy at all. When the test begins, the core fairy stone of the puppet begins to burn, releasing huge energy, prompting it to move quickly. There is no mercy, no slack, and it attacks with all its strength right from the start.
The Red Lotus Fairy was wearing a set of low-grade immortal glove-like weapons, and the puppet was no exception.
"Boom..."
The palm winds collided violently with the Red Lotus Fairy and the puppet, dyeing every corner of the space red, beautiful and dazzling.
During the battle, Fairy Chilian frowned. This second test was really abnormal. The strength of this puppet was exactly the same as hers, and even the strength of its skills was not inferior at all. It was really not easy to defeat it.
Young Master Ye Yu, who lived next door to Fairy Chi Lian, also encountered the same problem. Although he had known it for a long time, he still felt a little anxious as he was unable to defeat a puppet that was a replica of himself and would not cause any loss of immortal energy.
"Who do you think can be the first to defeat a puppet whose strength is almost the same as his?" A man with a long beard discussed with his friends in a small crowd.
A sword immortal in green clothes smiled slightly and said, "Fairy Red Lotus, right? Although I'm not her admirer, I have to say that she possesses a special physique, so she has a certain innate advantage in this kind of assessment!"
"That's not necessarily true. The puppets used in the postgraduate entrance examination for the outer disciples of Jinlong Mountain are not based on your physique or martial arts skills, but are directly matched according to the strength of your immortal essence. It is the fairest assessment among all super powers!" A man in a red robe retorted.
"Yes, after all, everyone's birth circumstances will lead to different skills, resources, and environments. Jinlong Mountain's assessment can select the true genius!" One person echoed.
The Green-Robed Sword Immortal wasn't angry, but shook his head and said, "You don't understand the terrifying nature of special physiques. I have an elder friend who has a special physique, and he only discovered it occasionally. You'll find out soon!"
Among the people in Wenlu City, the most people paid attention to Fairy Chilian, and there were also many people paying attention to Young Master Yeyu. Some royal family members and children from large families were arguing with each other and supporting the geniuses they favored. It was very interesting. At this moment, the people present did not seem to be the high and mighty gods in the eyes of the mortal world, but passers-by who were no different from ordinary people and had their own joys and sorrows.
"Young Master Ye Yu is a true prodigy on the Young Masters' Ranking, ranking much higher than Fairy Chi Lian. I think if he can't be the first to win, it will be even more impossible for others!"
"Hmph, you're short-sighted. In my opinion, the Qilin'er from the Zhang family who specializes in physical cultivation is the most likely to win first. Even if he doesn't have any special physique, he's still a leader among physical cultivators of the same level!"
People from all over Wenlu City, some of them were wealthy and sat down to watch, while others stayed in other places in the city and looked up at the huge live video broadcast from the sky, all arguing and discussing about who would be the first winner.
“Swoosh!”
Li Ran glanced indifferently at the immortal weapon puppet in front of him, which had the same appearance and strength as himself. The long sword in his hand was wrapped in immortal energy and had no blessing from any martial arts. With an ordinary sword, he directly pierced the core of the puppet's chest.
After the puppet suffered a fatal injury, the light in its eyes flickered for a moment, then dimmed, as if its life had lost its vitality and it could no longer move.
