Seeing that Liu Yun and Lu Xuan had actually started arguing, the crowd below the stage immediately went into an uproar. They didn't think that an examiner and a main examiner would actually fight over a candidate. "I know this Qin Yueyi.
She's also a person with a bitter life. She's too beautiful and doesn't have enough strength. In order to curry favor with the He Clan's second young master, the Luo Clan invited her to hunt for beauties. Who knew that Qin Yueyi would be an unyielding woman and would rather die than submit. She even stabbed the Luo Clan's young master to death. In a fit of rage, the Luo Clan slaughtered Qin Yueyi's entire family. Only she managed to escape with her life. I didn't think that she would have the guts to appear in Hundred Flowers City at this time. "A martial artist who knew the inside story explained the matter of Qin Yueyi to the surrounding people.
"The He Clan and the Luo Clan also seem to be related by marriage, and the He Clan's mistress is the Peony Palace's Great Elder. Now that she's participating in the Peony Palace's selection, isn't she courting death?"
"That's not necessarily true. Didn't you see that Lu Xuan is standing up for her? Perhaps he saw that Qin Yueyi is beautiful and was moved. That's why, sometimes, it's not necessarily a good thing for a woman to be too beautiful. "
While the crowd was talking, Liu Yun had already made a move against Lu Xuan. Yuan Power surged all over Liu Yun's body, and she waved her hand to attack Lu Xuan. This attack could be said to have used her full strength. In her heart, she already hated Lu Xuan to the extreme. Coupled with the fact that Lu Xuan had ruined her plans time and time again, how could she show mercy?
However, Lu Xuan only lightly shook his head. With a casual wave of his hand, he blocked Liu Yun's palm and said, "Elder Liu, pay attention to your current status. You are now an examiner of the Peony Palace, not a lackey of the He Clan."
After being blocked by Lu Xuan's palm, Liu Yun was both shocked and angry when she heard Lu Xuan call her a lackey. She shouted, "I don't need you to tell me what to do. Today, I must take down Qin Yueyi!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she recklessly attacked again. Lu Xuan was a little annoyed. He didn't think that everyone related to the He Clan would act the same way. Although he wasn't too clear about the inside story, he could tell that with Qin Yueyi's strength and background, she definitely wouldn't kill someone for no reason. Now that her entire clan had been annihilated, and her entire clan had been annihilated, the He Clan was most likely in the wrong.
"Since you insist on being a lackey, then don't stay in the examiner's seat. Scram!" Lu Xuan used his finger as a sword and slashed out with his hand. A strong gust of wind suddenly came. The force was so strong that it was far from what Liu Yun could withstand. She was directly blown away by the strong gust of wind, instantly leaving the examiner's seat and flying off the stage. Lu Xuan had the intention of teaching her a lesson, so he didn't restrain his strength. Liu Yun was directly thrown to the ground, looking incomparably miserable!
"Good!"
"Good job, Young Master Lu!"
The people below the stage applauded. Everyone sympathized with the weak. Now that Lu Xuan had acted righteously and stood up for Qin Yueyi, he naturally won their cheers.
"Who dares to make a sound!" Liu Yun crawled up and screamed. At this moment, her expression was incomparably livid. She, a dignified Elder of the Peony Palace, had actually made such a big fool of herself today. She had forcefully thrown to the ground in front of countless people. Ever since she had latched onto Luo Xianghan's thigh, she had never suffered such a big loss.
Being yelled at by Liu Yun, everyone instantly went silent. Lu Xuan dared to be unbridled, but they didn't dare offend Liu Yun.
Liu Yun ran up to the examiner's seat again. However, Lu Xuan raised his hand and blocked her with the strength of his Origin Energy. He said indifferently, "Before I figure out your identity, I think it's best if you don't step foot here, so as to avoid being thrown off by me again."
Liu Yun took a deep breath. After a long while, she calmed her mood and said, "Fine, you win. I won't pursue Qin Yueyi's responsibility now. But if you still want to stop me after the test, then you'll be making an enemy of the Peony Palace! No one can protect you! "
Lu Xuan snorted coldly. He really didn't put Liu Yun's threat in his eyes. She didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, thinking that she could do as she pleased with Luo Xianghan's backing.
Dispersing the wall of Origin Energy, Lu Xuan let Liu Yun in. Only then did he look at the ring again. At this moment, a strong feeling of gratitude flashed in Qin Yueyi's eyes. She didn't say a word and only bowed deeply to Lu Xuan. If it weren't for Lu Xuan, she would probably have already fallen into the Luo Clan's hands. Death? That would probably be too easy.
Although she might still be unable to escape the judgment of fate after the test, being able to meet a benefactor had cleansed her heart that had been blinded by hatred.
Lu Xuan smiled slightly at her and said, "No need to panic. Since I, Lu Xuan, am the chief examiner today, then I won't allow anyone to spoil it. Go down and properly prepare for the strength test later."
"Thank you, senior." Qin Yueyi finally spoke. She once again bowed to Lu Xuan and walked down the ring.
At this moment, the candidates participating in the temperament test had basically finished. Those who had successfully passed had already woken up, while those who hadn't been able to eliminate their inner demons were still immersed in the array. Lu Xuan waved his hand and sent them down.
After this incident, Lu Xuan's authority was completely established. Those who originally thought that Lu Xuan, the chief examiner, was just for show had changed their views. He even dared to beat up an elder of the Peony Palace in public. Was there anything that Lu Xuan didn't dare to do?
The third round of the test began again. This time, there were a lot of martial artists who signed up for the Peony Palace's entrance test. The outer disciples weren't under Lu Xuan's control, but there were more than a thousand people who signed up for the inner disciples.
After being taught a lesson by Lu Xuan, Liu Yun behaved herself. Moreover, she knew that with Lu Xuan watching, she couldn't do anything. Favoritism? After the first round, she didn't have such thoughts. At this moment, she had already closed her eyes to rest. She simply didn't care and let Lu Xuan decide.
Without Liu Yun's meddling, the next few rounds were quite smooth. There weren't any hiccups. Those who should be eliminated were eliminated, and those who should pass were passed. The overall passing rate was maintained at about 30%. Compared to the 40% passing rate in the past, it could be said to be a lot lower. This was mainly because Lu Xuan had changed the array. Some of the prepared candidates faced the new illusion array, but their preparations were completely useless.
A total of 1,393 women signed up, and a total of 14 rounds were carried out. It took nearly an hour for all the tests to be completed. A total of 403 people passed the test. After careful calculation, it was even lower than the 30% passing rate. It could be said that it was the lowest passing rate of the Peony Palace in so many years.
Tian Xin also recorded the information of all the candidates that passed the test and handed the jade slip to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan stood up, took two steps forward, and said, "First of all, congratulations to all the disciples that passed the temperament test. By passing the temperament test, the Peony Palace has already opened its doors to you. Even if you don't pass the strength test later, if you are willing, you can still join the Peony Palace and become an outer court disciple. After becoming an outer court disciple, it will be easier to be promoted to an inner court disciple in the future. "
"Next, we will carry out the strength test. I will draw two candidates whose numbers are adjacent to each other to fight on the same stage. The examiners and I will judge your strength. Whether or not you pass will not be decided by victory or defeat, but by your own performance. So even if you lose, if your strength is recognized by the examiners, you can still pass. Therefore, all candidates must give it your all and be sure to show your strongest side."
"In addition, all of your battle information will be recorded. Once an elder takes a liking to you, you will be able to become a direct disciple. All candidates must cherish this golden opportunity."
As soon as Lu Xuan's voice fell, the girls that passed the test immediately became excited. Their eyes flashed with eagerness. If they could directly become a direct disciple, then the nurturing they could enjoy would far surpass that of an ordinary inner court disciple.
At this time, Liu Yun, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "Examiner Lu, there are many candidates. If we fight one by one, it will take too much time. We just happen to have five examiners here, so why don't we have five battles at the same time? Each examiner will be responsible for one battle."
After saying that, Liu Yun thought to herself, 'Five battles at the same time, I don't believe that Lu Xuan can take care of all five battles at the same time. This way, I will be able to find an opportunity to attack. If I can be biased, then I can't completely give up just because Lu Xuan came out. Otherwise, I will be punished by Luo Xianghan when I return.' However, she was a little worried that Lu Xuan wouldn't agree. After all, her intentions were too obvious.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan smiled and said, "This suggestion is not bad. I accept. Then let's have five battles at the same time. Each time, ten candidates can participate."
This pleasant surprise came too suddenly, Liu Yun didn't dare to believe her ears. However, since Lu Xuan had agreed, it was naturally for the best. It seemed that this Lu Xuan was a man of brawn and no brains. Although his strength was strong, wasn't he still being played in the palm of her hand?
Flying onto the stage, Lu Xuan sized up the stage. This stage was rather large, it was more than enough to accommodate five battles at the same time. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lu Xuan slowly raised his hands and shouted, "Wall of Thorns, rise!"
In an instant, several walls of thorns rose at the same time, directly dividing the stage into five squares: North, South, East, West, and Central. Using the walls of thorns to divide the battlefield, it couldn't be any better. With the strength of these women, they definitely wouldn't be able to break through.
Seeing this scene, another round of applause rang out. Everyone's admiration for Lu Xuan increased. One must know that Lu Xuan wasn't an old monster who had cultivated for many years. He was a direct disciple of the Profound Ice Pavilion. Although they were both young, Lu Xuan's strength was much stronger than theirs. When one's achievements reached a level that others couldn't even dream of, others would no longer be jealous. Instead, they would be envious and admire you.
Looking at the battlefield with satisfaction, Lu Xuan said, "Next, I will call out the candidates' numbers. The battle will stop when it's over. If you can't stop in time, the examiners will forcefully stop the battle. Don't worry about safety. Now, number eight, number thirteen, go to the first examination room!"
