Test and Contradiction
"Let the test begin!
Only those who can light up six pearls or more will pass and become Shengzon's outer disciples. If you can light up ten pearls, you will be promoted to an inner disciple. "
Elder Bai waved his sleeves. Immediately, the crowd split into twenty teams and went to their respective stone tablets in an orderly manner to take the test.
Zhuowen was at the end of the line for the third stone tablet. At this moment, the juniors in the line had excited and expectant looks in their eyes. They rubbed shoulders and were eager to give it a try.
The youth in the first line could not wait to place his right palm on the stone tablet. However, to his disappointment, only three pearls lit up on the stone tablet.
"Light up three pearls, failed!
Next. "The Shengzon disciple beside the stone tablet said coldly with a cold expression.
Feeling the gazes from the crowd, the youth was too ashamed to show his face. He left the stone tablet dejectedly.
"Lighting up an orb, you are not qualified!
Next. "
"Light up four pearls, failed!
Next. "
"…"
The team's test was carried out in an orderly manner. Unfortunately, none of the 75 or so people in front of them passed the test.
This cruel result caused many of the juniors in the line to panic. This was because they realized that some of the stronger youths had been mercilessly eliminated. Their chances of passing had become extremely small.
"Light up six pearls, passed!
Congratulations, stand behind the stone tablet first! "
The Shengzon disciple beside the stone tablet said in a much gentler voice. At this moment, six pearls lit up on the surface of the stone tablet. It was extremely dazzling in the eyes of the crowd.
At this moment, the person who was taking the test was a young girl wearing a green dress. Perhaps she felt the envious gazes from the crowd, the young girl lifted her chin high like a proud peacock and went behind the stone tablet.
Time ticked by. Soon, more than half of the team had completed the test. However, only four of them had passed. They were two men and two women. Among them, the highest was the one who managed to light up seven orbs.
The elimination rate of the stone tablet was so high that it was out of Zhuowen's expectations. There were at least five to six hundred people in their team who had participated in the test. Now, more than half of them had passed, but only four people had passed.
In front of the mountain gate, the black-robed man and Elder Bai stood side by side silently. Their gazes occasionally swept across the young boys and girls who were taking the test under the stone tablet. No one knew what they were thinking.
Nalan Hongyu, who was standing beside the black-robed man, had been searching through the ranks with her beautiful eyes. Soon, she locked onto a figure at the end of the third group, and a bitter smile appeared on her face.
And the figure that Nalan Hongyu had locked onto was none other than Zhuowen, who was leisurely waiting for the test.
Within the group, Zhuowen naturally felt Nalan Hongyu's bitter gaze. However, he sneered in his heart.
Originally, Zhuowen didn't care about Nalan Hongyu at all. After all, she was only an Ultimate Emperor Stage cultivator. In Zhuowen's eyes, she was no different from an ant. Therefore, he didn't want to bother with her.
But now, Nalan Hongyu's gaze made Zhuowen realize that she wouldn't let him off so easily.
"You'd better not provoke me. Otherwise, you'll regret it in the end!"
Zhuowen muttered to himself. He no longer paid attention to Nalan Hongyu. Nalan Hongyu was just a small fry. She didn't have the qualifications to be remembered by him, Zhuowen.
"You've lit up five orbs. You're not qualified!
Next. "
The cold voice of a Shengzon disciple rang out once again. The youth in front of Zhuowen had a vexed expression on his face. He was only one orb away from passing.
Zhuowen took a step forward and arrived in front of the testing stone tablet. He gently placed his right hand on the surface of the tablet. Immediately, he felt a strange energy spread out from the tablet and circulate through his meridians.
Zhuowen's appearance attracted the attention of many people. After all, the strength that Zhuowen had displayed in his clash with Nalan Hongyu wasn't weak. Many people believed that this mysterious youth had the strength to enter Shengzon.
Nalan Hongyu's beautiful eyes focused on Zhuowen. Her beautiful eyes flickered and revealed a trace of resentment.
Ci ci ci!
Instantly, the orbs on the surface of the tablet where Zhuowen was standing lit up one by one. In an instant, more than six orbs had been lit up. Moreover, the number of orbs was still rising rapidly.
In an instant, ten orbs on the surface of the tablet lit up at the same time. It was as if ten scorching suns were releasing light and heat at the same time.
"It's actually ten orbs. This kid has actually activated ten orbs!"
The surroundings suddenly became silent. After the silence, there was an uproar. It was like a monstrous tsunami that resounded through the crowd.
The lazy expression of the Glory Sect disciple who was in charge of the third stone tablet turned serious instantly. His gaze was fixed on the surface of the stone tablet. The ten glowing pearls on the surface of the stone tablet froze on the spot.
On the mountain gate, the black-robed man and Old Bai, who were originally indifferent, also fixed their eyes on the third tablet.
As the hosts this time around, they naturally knew very well how difficult it was to trigger the ten treasured pearls on the testing stele. Thus, they did not have any hope that someone would be able to trigger the ten treasured pearls. The probability of that happening was simply too low.
But now, this scene had really happened in front of them.
Nalan Hongyu was also stunned on the spot. The resentment in her beautiful eyes became more intense. She whispered a few words to the black-robed man beside her. The black-robed man frowned and his eyes flickered.
"My result should be considered as a pass, right?"
Looking at the stunned Shengzon disciple beside the tablet, Zhuowen had to remind him. The latter coughed a few times awkwardly and said with a smile, "Junior brother's talent is rare. You can actually activate ten orbs. According to the rules, junior brother can directly become an inner disciple of Shengzon."
The enthusiastic attitude of the Shengzon disciple was naturally seen by many people. However, there was no jealousy in their eyes. Instead, they were full of envy.
This was because Zhuowen's result was too abnormal. It was out of everyone's reach. It was enough to break everyone's jealousy.
Nodding his head, Zhuowen was not surprised at all. With his current strength, if he still couldn't activate the testing stone tablet, then his previous cultivation would have been in vain.
"Wait!"
Just as Zhuowen was about to lift his foot and walk behind the stone tablet, an untimely voice sounded, causing Zhuowen's foot to stop in mid-air.
Raising his head slightly, Zhuowen stared at the black-robed man on the mountain gate and said indifferently, "What's the matter?"
"It is said that you deliberately caused trouble in front of Shengzon's mountain gate and injured many people. Is this true?" The black-robed man looked down at Zhuowen and said indifferently.
Zhuowen's eyes looked past the black-robed man and landed on Nalan Hongyu, whose face was full of resentment. He knew that the black-robed man's sudden call was probably related to Nalan Hongyu.
At this moment, many people's eyes were focused on them, especially when they saw the black-robed man questioning Zhuowen. Everyone's eyes were full of interest.
Just now, many people present were aware of the conflict between Zhuowen and Nalan Hongyu, and this black-robed man was Nalan Hongyu's second uncle. They were afraid that this young man was going to be unlucky.
"It was that group of people who provoked me first. Am I not allowed to defend myself?" Zhuowen replied indifferently.
The black-robed man shook his head and said, "Shengzon is the holy land of martial arts. How can we allow you to act like a madman and cause trouble here?
Shengzon will not accept a disciple with such a bad character like you. Now, get out of here! "
As soon as these words were spoken, many people around were stunned. The young man in front of them was a genius who had lit up ten pearls on the testing stone tablet. The black-robed man actually planned to drive such a genius out?
Old Bai could not sit still and said to the black-robed man, "Brother Nalan, this child has lit up ten pearls. It is a rare occurrence in a hundred years. How can you act on your own initiative and drive him out of Shengzon?"
"Old Bai!
So what if this child is talented?
His character is too bad. Our Shengzon has spent so much effort to cultivate such a genius. I am afraid that we may not be able to get a reward in the future. It is not worth it to raise such an ingrate. "
The black-robed man shook his head and said that Zhuowen's character was not good. He had made up his mind to drive Zhuowen out.
The smile on Nalan Hongyu's face became more and more intense. Her beautiful eyes stared at Zhuowen with a sense of victory. It was as if she was telling Zhuowen that offending her would not end well.
Zhuowen was too lazy to pay attention to this unruly, willful, and ignorant woman. Instead, he looked at the black-robed man, took a step forward, and said indifferently, "Are you sure you want to drive me out?"
"Then I can tell you clearly that the one who has a conflict with me is this bitch beside you!
If you want to drive me out, then drive this bitch out as well! "
The smile on Nalan Hongyu's face instantly froze. Her beautiful eyes stared fixedly at Zhuowen as she said coldly, "What did you just say about me?
I dare you to say it again. "
"I was only speaking the truth when I said you were a bitch," Zhuowen said indifferently.
Nalan Hongyu almost went crazy when she heard this. Unfortunately, she didn't dare to go down and teach the young man a lesson because the strength he'd displayed just now was at least at the Ultimate Emperor Realm. She was no match for him at all.
"You actually dare to insult a disciple of our Shengzon's inner court in front of the Shengzon Mountain Gate. You have really gone against the heavens!
Men, capture this rebellious kid. If he resists, kill him on the spot. "
The black-robed man narrowed his eyes. His expression had become unsightly when he heard Zhuowen call Nalan Hongyu a bitch. Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
As soon as the black-robed man spoke, the Shengzon disciples who were originally in charge of the stone tablet leaped up and surrounded Zhuowen. The tips of their swords were pointed at Zhuowen.
Elder Bai frowned slightly and said, "Brother Nalan!
There's no need to mobilize so many people. This kid did not do it on purpose. Let him go! "
Unfortunately, the black-robed man completely ignored Elder Bai. The black-robed man was much stronger than Elder Bai, and his status in the Shengzon was much higher than Elder Bai's. So, these Shengzon disciples basically listened to the black-robed man.
