Lu Xuan consecutively called out ten exam numbers, and the ten candidates whose names were called immediately flew into the examination hall that Lu Xuan had split up. At this moment, other than Lu Xuan and Liu Yun, the other three examiners were already in position. Lu Xuan was in the middle of the examination hall, and the other four were in the four corners.
"Let the battle begin!" Under Lu Xuan's command, the ten candidates instantly began their battle. Delicate shouts rang out one after another. A battle between cultivators in the Soul Refinement Realm was already quite interesting, not to mention a battle between a group of beauties. The spectators had a feeling that it was too much for their eyes to take in, and they would occasionally look here and there.
At this moment, Lu Xuan was not only paying attention to his examination hall, but he had also enveloped the entire arena with his divine sense. He had a panoramic view of the situation of the five battles. The moment Liu Yun opened her mouth, Lu Xuan knew what she was thinking. However, if she thought that he was unable to take care of all five battles, then she was gravely mistaken. With the current strength of his divine sense, not to mention five battles, it was more than enough for him to pay attention to all ten battles.
Because Lu Xuan had already reminded them before, whether they passed the assessment or not was not determined by victory or defeat, but by the strength they displayed. Therefore, from the start of the battle, these candidates displayed their full strength, and did their best to display their best moves.
Both candidates used their full strength, and the battle started quickly and ended quickly. The victor was quickly determined, and the few examiners also announced the results of the assessment.
Other than the examination hall that Lu Xuan was in, the other four examination halls all had the winner pass, and the loser be eliminated. Lu Xuan did not say anything, because according to his judgment, he would also make the same choice. However, the examination hall that he was paying attention to announced that both candidates passed at the same time. For a moment, both candidates were overjoyed, and they hurriedly thanked him.
After hearing Lu Xuan's result, Liu Yun said in a strange tone, "Head examiner, there must be something fishy about the first round being passed by both of them at the same time, right? From the way I see it, the strength displayed by the defeated examinee seems to be ordinary. "
Liu Yun's voice was very loud, and almost everyone heard it. In an instant, everyone's gazes were once again focused on Lu Xuan. However, this time, they didn't directly suspect Lu Xuan. Instead, they were waiting for Lu Xuan's explanation. Especially the defeated candidate, he was even more nervous. The excitement he felt when he was announced to have passed couldn't help but subside.
Lu Xuan said indifferently, "The defeated candidate is an outer court disciple of the Peony Palace. He has been in the outer court for three years and has made many contributions to the Peony Palace. Although his strength is slightly lacking, this is a special reward for an outer court disciple. Elder Liu, don't tell me you don't know this?"
After hearing Lu Xuan's explanation, everyone suddenly understood. So that was the case. This was reasonable. Outer court disciples had a lot of chores, and many things in the Peony Palace needed to be done by them personally. Lowering the difficulty of the inner court exam was also reasonable.
The defeated examinee even shed tears of joy. He had stayed in the outer sect for three years, working hard every day. Today, he could finally step into the inner sect. He immediately bowed respectfully to Lu Xuan and said, "This disciple thanks Senior Examiner."
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "No need to be so polite. This is what you deserve based on your own diligence and strength. Cultivate well, and you will not let down the sect's nurturing."
The disciple nodded repeatedly in agreement. Then, Lu Xuan loudly said to the surroundings, "Everyone who didn't pass the strength test can also choose to join the outer court of the Peony Palace. In the future, you can be like this candidate and rely on your own efforts to enter the inner court!"
The four candidates who didn't pass were somewhat disheartened. Now that they heard Lu Xuan's words, a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in their hearts. Three of them chose to join the outer court, while the last one still left.
These things naturally didn't require Lu Xuan's attention. At this moment, he had already called out the test numbers of the other ten candidates, and the second round of the competition began.
In these few rounds of competition, Lu Xuan had been paying special attention to Liu Yun. He didn't expect that she would be so well-behaved and not show any favoritism. Those who should pass passed, those who should be eliminated, were eliminated. This made Lu Xuan a little surprised, but then he thought that she probably hadn't met a candidate that required her to show favoritism.
Soon, the fifth round of competition began. Two names that Lu Xuan was familiar with appeared in this round at the same time. They were Peng Xin and Qin Yueyi, and it just so happened that their test numbers were next to each other. In other words, the two of them would have to face each other in this round.
However, Lu Xuan didn't say much. He could uphold justice for them, but he definitely wouldn't show favoritism. If the two of them were strong enough, then they could pass at the same time.
However, when he saw the two of them walk into the examination venue, Lu Xuan's expression changed slightly. He didn't think that it would be such a coincidence. Because the examination venue for the two of them happened to be hosted by Liu Yun!
At this moment, Liu Yun's face revealed a trace of a cold smile. The heavens really had eyes, she really didn't do anything, but the heavens just had to send these two to her examination venue. It could only be said that this was the will of the heavens.
Peng Xin was naive and didn't know that Liu Yun wanted to deal with her because of Lu Xuan. She didn't have the slightest intention of scheming as she walked up. On the other hand, Qin Yueyi hesitated for a moment. She looked at the sneering Liu Yun and then at Lu Xuan in the sky. Finally, she made up her mind and slowly walked into the battlefield.
"The competition begins!" Lu Xuan said in a low voice. This time, he focused most of his attention on Liu Yun's examination venue. Based on Liu Yun's personality, it was very likely that he was going to do something in this round.
Peng Xin was at the third layer of the Spirit Refinement realm, while Qin Yueyi was at the fourth layer. The difference between them wasn't too big. Moreover, this examination didn't test one's strength. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a need to compete.
After the two of them greeted each other, Peng Xin made the first move. Qin Yueyi didn't rush to attack, instead, she constantly defended. Lu Xuan watched the battle between the two of them and slightly nodded his head. Both of them had their own merits. When Peng Xin attacked, she didn't attack blindly. Instead, she was methodical and methodical. Furthermore, she held back a trace of energy to prevent Qin Yueyi from suddenly erupting.
Although Qin Yueyi was only defending, it could be seen that she wasn't messed up. Rather than defending, it could be said that she was using this opportunity to observe Peng Xin's strength and find an opportunity to take advantage of.
He didn't expect Qin Yueyi to have such battle awareness. Lu Xuan admired her even more. No wonder Qin Yueyi was able to escape from the Luo Family in Nanluo Town. Her cautiousness must have helped her a lot.
Peng Xin's mind was a little messed up after a long time. At this moment, Qin Yueyi finally made her move. Her longsword suddenly knocked against the weak point of Peng Xin's longsword, instantly knocking it away. Then, she thrust her sword straight at Peng Xin's throat, finally stopping three inches away from Peng Xin.
One hit, one kill!
"I've lost." Peng Xin said dejectedly. She didn't expect Qin Yueyi to defeat her with only one move. It seemed that she still had a lot to learn.
Seeing that the battle was over, Liu Yun sneered, "The two of you are not qualified. Both of you will be eliminated!"
This time, without waiting for Lu Xuan to say anything, the audience below the stage was in an uproar. Most of them were watching this battle because of Qin Yueyi. Although Qin Yueyi was on the passive side, her last sword strike was really amazing. However, she was actually eliminated with this kind of strength! Although they knew that Liu Yun was definitely using his position to take revenge, they didn't say anything. After all, they weren't related to Qin Yueyi in any way. Moreover, Liu Yun was an elder of the Peony Palace.
Peng Xin looked at Liu Yun in shock. Although she lost, she felt that her performance wasn't bad. She didn't know why the examiner would judge her to be eliminated. Qin Yueyi seemed to have already expected this result. She silently put away her longsword and walked down the stage.
At this moment, Lu Xuan's voice sounded, "Wait."
Qin Yueyi couldn't help but stop. She turned her head to look at Lu Xuan and thought, "Could it be that this young senior is going to stand up for me again?" Although she felt that Lu Xuan wouldn't care about her so much, she couldn't help but feel a trace of hope.
Liu Yun turned his head to look at Lu Xuan and said, "Head examiner, what do you think?"
The result of Lu Xuan's match had already been decided. He slowly walked over in the air as if he was taking a stroll in the park. He said, "Elder Liu, please tell me why the two of them were eliminated."
Liu Yun lightly snorted and said, "When one of them attacked, her technique was chaotic and she only cared about attacking with all her might. The other person couldn't even block an attack of this level. In the end, she only won because she was lucky and hit a flaw. With this kind of strength, how can she enter my Peony Palace's inner sect?"
After a pause, Liu Yun sarcastically said, "Head examiner, I saw you flirting with this examinee called Peng Xin. Could it be that you want to show favoritism now? Earlier, some people swore that they would put an end to all favoritism. Don't take the lead in favoritism. "
Lu Xuan smiled faintly. "Is that so?"
He turned his head and looked down the stage. He pointed at a disciple who had already passed the test and said, "This examinee, please come up here."
The examinee that Lu Xuan pointed at was somewhat baffled, but he didn't dare to disobey the head examiner's words. He immediately flew over.
Lu Xuan said to Liu Yun, "If I remember correctly, this examinee passed the test under your hands, Elder Liu."
"That's right." Liu Yun raised her eyebrows and replied. She didn't know what trick Lu Xuan was playing. This examinee had nothing to do with her, and she didn't show favoritism, so she naturally wasn't worried.
"Very good." Lu Xuan nodded. "Since you passed, I presume you recognize her strength. How about this, this examinee, I have two bottles of medicinal pills here. They are Human Level Nine Spirit-Harmonizing Pills. You fight with both of them. As long as you can win any one of them, these two bottles of Human Level Nine Spirit-Harmonizing Pills will be yours. How about it?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone below the stage was in an uproar. This Lu Xuan was extremely generous. Human Level Nine Spirit-Harmonizing Pills! And two bottles at that! For martial artists in the Soul Refinement Realm, these were simply treasures. At this moment, they couldn't wait to replace this examinee and fight with Qin Yueyi.
