A group of elders, with their dashing and domineering demeanor, led a little girl to take the test, which certainly attracted attention.
The disciples followed discreetly (openly), their eagerness to watch the show was obvious; they had heard about what had happened at the foot of the mountain.
At this moment, the sect leader's jade pendant vibrated, and he picked it up to take a look.
As expected.
People from other sects have heard the news and now want to find him to get to the bottom of things, and they even want to come and poach his talent!
The sect leader was furious, glaring at Yuheng several times: "Look at you! What trouble have you gotten yourself into! Every time you make a big fuss, revealing your sect's trump cards. If it weren't for Master's doting love for you, I would have already..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was bombarded with messages from Yu Ting.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yuheng quickly led his men away to conduct the test first!
The test for physical cultivation is very simple: it's all about enduring hardship. Those with thick skin and tough flesh are the most suitable. Usually, a disciple in the Qi Refining stage will use a move, and as long as you can withstand it, you pass. They usually won't use too much force.
Of course, the more moves a player can execute, the better their talent.
For those who participate in the test normally, as long as they can withstand two moves, they are considered to have passed. However, they may not be able to pass smoothly and must also consider whether they can withstand the opponent's next move.
If a move misses, the subsequent attacks will have to be deflected with full force, and at that point, it won't just be a minor scratch.
Therefore, to become an outer disciple, one needs to withstand five moves, while an inner disciple needs to withstand ten moves.
To become a true disciple, one must possess the corresponding abilities.
Moreover, if even the inner disciples pass the test, it means that you are truly qualified to become a true disciple, and the elders will select the top few outstanding disciples to become true disciples.
This applies not only to physical cultivation, but also to almost all cultivation methods except for alchemy and medicine.
After passing this test, candidates still need to participate in the sect's major tests every month. Only after being refined through repeated tests can suitable personnel be selected.
Therefore, the competition among true disciples is extremely fierce and brutal.
The Heavenly Mystery Sect also uses this method of refinement to continuously improve the talents and strength of its disciples, growing and progressing together with them, thereby enhancing the sect's overall strength.
The test time was tight, so everyone made the most of their time to try and pass the test as soon as possible.
Nian Wanzhou was among the later group to arrive, and after arriving, he parted ways with Nan Yu, who was going to take a test of alchemy.
Since it was her first time doing something like this, Nian Wanzhou was both excited and quite scared.
When she stood on the testing platform and was surrounded by onlookers, it was easy to see that people around her were either surprised that a child was going up to take the test, or they looked down on her.
The disciple being tested: "...Don't worry, I will, I'll use less force."
Nian Wanzhou didn't want to make anything special. "No need. I'm thick-skinned. If you do that, people will think you have ulterior motives. Let's just do it normally. Don't worry, I'll be fine!"
It has the body of a true dragon, so it must be very resilient!
And so, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the disciple taking the test held his sword and unleashed a sword aura at Nian Wanzhou.
Although the sword energy wasn't as domineering and awe-inspiring as that of a sect, it was still sharp and swift, and it would certainly not feel good if it hit you, especially since this was a sword cultivator with a golden spiritual root.
It just so happens to be a way of restraining Nian Wanzhou.
Nian Wanzhou covered her head with both hands to protect it, and then she took the first sword strike from the test disciple. Everyone thought they would see the child on the stage being knocked away.
As a result, the powerful sword energy cushion struck Nian Wanzhou as lightly as cotton, without any force.
"Could it be... that they've loosened the rules?" someone stammered.
However, the others denied this, saying, "It doesn't look like it at all. It's clearly the same sword energy that hit us. I remember it very clearly."
"If she really didn't hold back, then she's amazing! She's incredibly talented..."
The crowd was abuzz with discussion, with some even suspecting that Nian Wanzhou might have some special bloodline.
Suddenly someone recognized Nian Wanzhou: "This, isn't this the child at the foot of the mountain who possesses both the body of a true dragon and the body of an immortal spirit? I remember her, when she tested her spiritual roots, she caused the extraordinary phenomenon of all beasts paying homage!"
"!!!"
No wonder those attacks were like cotton to her; it's just her natural talent...
Why are you such a coward!
The disciple, refusing to believe in superstition, swung another sword aura at Nian Wanzhou, this time with slightly increased spiritual power.
It was an even more powerful sword aura than the last one.
Having learned from his first experience, Nian Wanzhou continued to protect his head with one hand while reaching out with the other to grasp the sword energy...
"My God!!! I can really hold it!" Nian Wanzhou shouted as she held the sword energy, then turned around in horror to look at Yuheng.
Everyone: ...So this is your first time doing this too?
Yuheng appeared calm and collected, but inwardly he was overjoyed. He was truly delighted to have found such a treasure!
The other elders couldn't stand it any longer, and the Fourth Elder spoke up first: "Hey, kid, have you not eaten? Use more spiritual energy! We'll be fine, so just do your best!"
The disciple being tested hurriedly agreed and obediently continued to exert his strength, unleashing one sword aura after another.
"With such dense sword energy, are we really going to be alright?" the other disciples who were taking the test asked anxiously.
"What's there to be afraid of? Several elders are here. What could possibly happen? Don't worry," a higher-ranking disciple replied, and indeed, that was the case.
Five more sword energies followed, all of which Nian Wanzhou gripped tightly in her hand. She seemed unsure how to deflect them, simply holding them there, dumbfounded.
