After the young man stopped, he took a long time to look up at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in front of him, then turned towards the courtyard gate and waved to Ye Lan outside the fence.
He succeeded.
The boy grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, and for the first time, his always gloomy face showed a bright smile.
Seeing this, Ye Lan also raised the corners of his lips and nodded slightly to give him affirmation and praise.
Very good comprehension, well done.
Now, everyone else was shocked and didn't understand what was going on.
Xiao Yunting just listened for a moment before speaking in a low, cold voice, "That should be the first formation center. They deliberately left the fallen petals on the ground as a clue for the candidates."
Hearing the voice, Ye Lan looked up at him, the smile in his eyes deepened a little, and nodded, "Yes, the Xuanzong Bagua Formation is just a basic entry-level assessment, it won't be too difficult."
Normally, the Bagua formation is used by formal disciples to train their minds. It is extremely difficult and there is no so-called center of the formation.
The osmanthus tree is also a shielding point arranged in advance by the examiners, leaving a glimmer of hope for the newcomers.
Neither of them lowered their voices when they spoke, so the candidates and helpers on the other side of the fence suddenly realized what was going on and understood the purpose of the boy's reckless behavior.
The easiest and quickest route is to go from the courtyard gate to the stream, then find the right direction and run straight towards the osmanthus tree from the stream...
When they thought of the scene where they had just gathered together to mock the young man, they all blushed and could not even raise their heads in front of their colleagues.
But it's always good to have the best solution.
"Someone has already made it through. We just need to copy their route and walk it again. I think he'll just feel uncomfortable for a while but he'll be fine after that. I'm sure we can make it through too."
The group of people who felt they had gotten an advantage seemed very proud, and soon they all swarmed to the gate of the yard, rushing in with their eyes closed.
Crash.
The creek ahead was splashing water like chicks. A group of people climbed up the shore in a daze, but before they had taken two steps, they fell flat on the ground one after another.
"One, two, three..." The youngest, who was watching the excitement, was counting the number of people who fell outside the fence. When he finally found that they were all lying flat and no one survived, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide, "Oh my God, this is so useless, the whole army was wiped out."
He thought at least one or two would survive.
Ye Lan, who was listening to this, raised an eyebrow. "The effect of an ordinary mirror is already unbearable, not to mention the dizziness of the stone being wetted by water, which is amplified thousands of times. Wu Heng was able to make it through because of his strong willpower."
The youngest finally understood and scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "No wonder this stage is a test of your willpower. Xuanzong's standards for accepting disciples are indeed very strict."
In fact, it is not just Xuanzong. The selection standards of any sect in the ancient martial arts world are very high. Therefore, if people from the outside want to come in, unless they are geniuses, otherwise such unconventional people will eventually fail at the first level even if they use unconventional methods.
However, there was no need for Ye Lan to explain these things in detail to the other party. After the inner disciples moved the people away, Ye Lan entered through a special passage as a relative or friend of Wu Heng.
On the way, the youngest child became curious and asked a question.
"Now that Wu Heng is the only candidate left, can he pass the exam directly?"
"Of course not." Ye Lan answered without hesitation. "It's better to have nothing than to have something of poor quality. It's common for a sect to have nothing at all. Besides... the first level's array core isn't just one location, and the osmanthus tree is the most difficult."
"ah?"
The youngest was so shocked by the latter part of the sentence that he stopped in his tracks. He opened his mouth for a long time before coming back to his senses. "Then why didn't those people look for another formation?"
After saying that, he reacted.
It’s not that those people didn’t look for it. First, they couldn’t find it, and second, they were influenced by the conversation between Ye Lan and Xiao Yunting outside the fence.
When someone puts a ready-made solution in front of them and analyzes it thoroughly, who would consider anything else?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the two people walking side by side in front of him, and shuddered for no reason.
It's so scary.
If he wasn't deliberately trying to trick people, he would have written the name upside down!
The special passage is on the back wall. By opening the mechanism, you can directly cross the Bagua Formation and pass through the martial arts field of the second level.
Among the disciples who came to lead the way this time, there were also acquaintances.
"Master Ye... Master Ye?!"
Xie Changhua, who came out of the inner wall mechanism, recognized the girl in the crowd at a glance. His expression immediately became tense and he showed surprise.
The fellow disciples who came with him looked at him and asked in confusion, "Do you know him?"
"Um, well..." Xie Changhua answered hesitantly, as if he had some concerns. He only said vaguely, "An old friend from my hometown."
"Oh." The fellow disciple didn't ask any more questions. He took Wu Heng in alone to change clothes and left him to make arrangements for the others.
Xie Changhua was very conscientious in his work. After confirming the list one by one, he felt even more complicated when he saw the girl standing with the distinguished guests who came into the mountain this time, and the two of them looked quite intimate.
"Mr. Xiao, you can go directly out and turn right to the front hall. The other brothers will take you to see the elders." It was also the first time he heard of guests climbing the ladder by themselves, so he could only let them go to the front hall by themselves.
Xiao Yunting nodded slightly in thanks, then lowered his eyes to look at the girl beside him and said in a deep voice, "I'll go to the martial arts arena later."
Ye Lan guessed that he had something else to do, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
Let him feel at ease.
After Xiao Yunting and his men left, Ye Lan turned around and met Xie Changhua's hesitant gaze.
