Urban Fairy King

Those responsible for recruiting new disciples are actually some of the older true disciples in each hall, most of whom are at the Spiritual Emperor realm.

Baili Yunxiao estimated that there were twelve people in front of him, eleven of them were driven away, and only one was left behind. Almost no one was left in ten.

Soon, it was Baili Yunxiao's turn.

After he handed over the identity card, the true disciple checked it first to make sure it was correct, and then asked: "Why choose the sword hall?"

Baili Yunxiao knew that this was the other party questioning him. If he couldn't even pass this level, then there was no need to think about the next step.

He replied: "Because I like swords!"

"What do you think a sword is?"

"A swordsman is also a weapon!" Baili Yunxiao answered simply.

This was beyond the expectations of the person in charge of the assessment, because when other people faced this problem, they could talk about it for a long time, leading to many great truths, and they wished they could even include the supreme way of heaven.

But those kind of lofty and false words are not what the true disciples like to hear. In their opinion, if you are not even an outer disciple, how can you understand the sword?

On the contrary, it is not as good as Baili Yunxiao's explanation. The sword is a kind of weapon.

"Can you tell me about your deeper understanding of swords?"

Faced with this problem, Baili Yunxiao thought of going back to the time when he came to Yuxiao Palace in his first life, being tortured by the true disciples, and copying a few sentences from the novel.

What about "A heavy sword has no edge, and a great skill has no workmanship", and "The sword is in my heart, and everything in the world can be a sword", etc.

It is precisely because of this that he was focused on and entered the sword hall.

The four realms of kendo he mentioned at that time have almost become truth. Not only have they been included in the famous sayings of the kendo, they have also become a kendo theory that all kendo disciples must learn deeply.

In this life, Baili Yunxiao knew that he could not repeat what he had said before. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Sword moves, sword skills, sword intention, and sword ways. This is the path I understand sword cultivation to take." , I don’t know if it’s correct!”

"Oh? Yes, yes. It seems that you do have some research on swords. Being able to say these eight words is enough to prove that you have worked hard on weekdays. You have passed this torture. Go down and rest first. Don't Leave the square, the next level of testing will be conducted later!”

"Yes!" Baili Yunxiao bowed and retreated.

His name tag was retained by the true disciples, and this was the case for all those who passed the examination. Otherwise, the name tag would be returned and allowed to choose another hall.

There were many people responsible for interrogating the preparatory disciples. There were thirty lines in total, and each person took about one minute on average. After one morning, the sword hall tortured all the applicants, and only seven hundred were left in total. This was also The one with the smallest number of people left among the five halls.

These 700 people were further divided into three teams for the next step of testing.

From cultivation level to age, some people even use bone touching and blood tests to determine the true age of students. Those who are older than thirty years old are not allowed, and those whose cultivation level is lower than half a step of a great spiritual master are not allowed.

In other words, if you want to become an outer disciple of Yuxiao Palace, you must also reach the realm of heaven and human beings.

Heavenly beings are innate, and they are top masters on earth, but here they are just the starting point for cultivating immortals.

However, since they can be selected, they have basically passed the inspection, and their age and cultivation level are not big problems, but the last step has stopped many people.

That is to withstand the threat of the sword released by the true brother.

Almost all of the true disciples who can become the sword hall are geniuses who understand the meaning of the sword. Their souls are like actual swords. Just a little release can cause serious damage to the preparatory disciples who are only in the innate realm.

Of course, in order to prevent harm to the students, the sword intent seeds of the true brothers are sealed in the crystal ball. The disciples participating in the assessment need to inject spiritual power into the crystal ball. This is equivalent to the soul being affected. The longer the deterrence of sword intention persists, the stronger the power released by the seeds of sword intention will be, and the greater the pressure the students will bear.

Every ten seconds of persistence counts as one point. If an ordinary student gets one point, he or she can basically pass the test.

Twenty seconds is two minutes, which can be called a genius. By analogy, three minutes is a super genius, four minutes is a genius that happens once in a century, five minutes is a genius that happens once in a thousand years, and six seconds is a genius that happens once in ten thousand years.

Originally there were seven points, eight points, nine points, and ten points on it, but they were simply ignored later, because the five points and six points almost never appeared, and it was even less likely to happen later.

Therefore, over time, only six grades were used to classify swordsmanship talents.

Even one point is equivalent to withstanding one percent of the soul power attack of the Junior Spirit Emperor, two points is two percent, three points is three percent... and so on.

If you want to get ten points, you must withstand one-tenth of the power attack of the Spirit Emperor realm.

As for ordinary great spiritual masters in the realm of celestial beings, in front of the Spiritual Emperor, it is actually just a matter of one breath, or even a look with sword intent can solve it.

There is a difference of more than ten small levels between the two.

Therefore, every time the score increases by one point, the difficulty increases exponentially.

"Put your hand into this crystal stone and inject your mental power into it. If you can't hold on, withdraw your mental power immediately!" A true disciple of the Spirit Emperor realm explained to a preparatory disciple.

The preparatory disciple nodded and placed his hand on a white transparent crystal ball above the stone platform.

There seems to be a small sword sealed inside this crystal ball, which is dark green and very beautiful.

When the student's spiritual power was injected into the crystal ball, the dark blue sword suddenly lit up, turning the entire crystal ball into dark blue.

"Ah..." The disciple exclaimed and took several steps back, almost falling to the ground.

"Go down, you are not suitable to join the sword hall!" the true disciple in charge of the assessment said calmly.

"Senior, please give me another chance. I really didn't pay attention just now and was frightened. Please have mercy, senior!" The disciple hurriedly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed one after another.

"If I say you can't do it, then you can't do it. Go down, otherwise, I will confiscate your qualification to apply for other schools!"

After hearing this, the disciple did not dare to beg for mercy anymore and left in despair.

Then the second one persisted for three seconds, but couldn't bear it anymore. His mental power was forced out of the crystal ball by the sword's will, and he left sadly.

There were more than twenty people in succession, but no one could last for ten seconds. One of them lasted for nine seconds, then passed out and was carried down.

Soon, it was Baili Yunxiao's turn.

However, he was a little troubled.

Because once he leaves his body and injects his spiritual power into the crystal ball, he may expose his soul aura and let the old monsters who are familiar with him guess his identity.

After all, there are still many things about reincarnation in this world. Even if Baili Yunxiao said that after his death, he spent six hundred years and reincarnated many times to cultivate to his current state, there would still be people believe.

But he didn't want to reveal his identity so early.

The true disciple in charge of the test saw that Baili Yunxiao was indifferent and became impatient: "What? Are you scared? If you don't even have this courage, I advise you to leave. The sword hall is not suitable for you!"

Baili Yunxiao frowned slightly, but finally put his hand in the basketball-sized crystal ball.

At this time, he was in the physical state of Emperor Yan. The three kinds of strange fires in his body, Xuan Ming Li Fire, Immortal Spirit Fire, and Phoenix Death Fire, were injected into the crystal ball through his palms under the guidance of mental power. Inside.

The next moment, the crystal ball immediately became colorful, like colorful light beads.

This scene stunned everyone.

Generally speaking, the spiritual power of practitioners is colorless or white, but no one is colorful.

Later, everyone was even more surprised that after the fire-like energy was poured into the crystal ball, it actually ended up in a stalemate with the dark blue sword intent, with each occupying half of the crystal ball space.

In other words, the two are equally matched in a short period of time.

When the true disciple in charge of the assessment saw this, his expression became solemn and even a little excited, because finally someone who could enter his Dharma eyes appeared.

Although he is only the direct disciple responsible for the assessment, if Baili Yunxiao is selected in the future and becomes successful in cultivation, then he will be half the guide, equivalent to a guide, and there is this relationship between Baili Yunxiao and Baili Yunxiao. , which will naturally be of some benefit to him.

Soon, ten seconds passed. The sword intention seed, which was only as big as a thumb, suddenly lit up. Its size increased by one point, and the sword intention became even sharper, constantly attacking Baili Yunxiao's mental power.

This is a battle of soul power.

At first, Baili Yunxiao didn't feel much pressure because his soul realm had always remained a level higher than his physical body. During his peak period, his soul realm had already reached the junior spirit emperor level.

It's just that now the physical body has retreated to the half-step spirit king, the virtual elixir has not yet condensed in the body, and the state of mental power can only be equivalent to the half-step spirit king.

But he could use the strange fire to fight against the Spirit Emperor's sword intent. In addition, Baili Yunxiao was in the realm of the Spirit Sect in his previous life, and his achievements in swordsmanship were far beyond what the Spirit Emperor could match.

Therefore, Baili Yunxiao felt that as long as he wanted to, he could keep doing this.

However, he didn't want to delay for too long, otherwise it would inevitably attract too many people's attention, which would be very detrimental to concealing his identity.

Soon, thirty seconds passed.

Many of the other true disciples responsible for the test also focused their attention on this.

They were staring at Baili Yunxiao and the crystal ball.

Seeing this, Baili Yunxiao knew that it was almost done. If he could score three points, he would at least be considered a super genius and would not be buried.

At thirty-three seconds, he suddenly withdrew his mental power, pretended to look pale, and took several steps back, almost falling down.

When everyone saw this, they let out a sigh of relief. Although there were very few super geniuses, there were still one or two appearing every time, which was not too surprising.

The true disciple in charge of the test nodded to Baili Yunxiao: "Yes, thirty-three seconds. If nothing else happens, I estimate that your talent in swordsmanship will be the best among the newly recruited disciples of the same age. Come on." , that’s the end of today, the next assessment will be conducted tomorrow!”

Baili Yunxiao did not leave, but bowed and said: "Senior, can you give me this crystal ball that seals the sword's intention?"

"What do you want this thing for?" The true disciple's face darkened. Although this thing is not precious, it is not much.

Baili Yunxiao smiled and said: "I want to use the sword intention seeds inside to temper my soul. I feel that through the test just now, my spiritual realm has improved a lot. It seems that I have also gained some understanding of the sword intention!"
