The candidate was pleasantly surprised. She was only at the third tier of the Spirit Refinement State, so she could exchange the two bottles of Human-tier Level Nine Elixirs for quite a few Human-tier Level Six Elixirs.
"I'm willing!" She immediately nodded. As long as she won one round, she could get two bottles of Human-tier Level Nine Elixirs. Why not?
On the other hand, Liu Yun's expression turned ugly. She didn't expect Lu Xuan to come up with such a method to test the strength of Qin Yueyi's opponent. She could only hope that this candidate would try his best to win for the reward.
Lu Xuan smiled. "Very well, who do you choose to fight first?"
"I choose … this sister." The candidate pointed at Peng Xin. Peng Xin was just defeated and was also at the third tier of the Spirit Refinement State. She was in her best condition now, so she naturally had to pick a pushover. Anyway, she only needed to defeat one.
Lu Xuan then waved his hand and teleported Qin Yueyi from the examination venue into the air to provide space for the two candidates below. At the same time, he said, "Then you can start now."
Peng Xin's heart was extremely heavy at this moment. She knew that this was a rare opportunity. If Lu Xuan didn't make a move, she would have already been eliminated. Today's opportunity was not only exchanged for by Lu Xuan using two bottles of Human-tier Level Nine Elixirs, but also guaranteed with his own reputation. She had to win!
The two of them quickly started fighting. The candidate was desperate to get the two bottles of Spirit-Harmony Pills, so he didn't hold back when he attacked. He was even more diligent than she was in the previous assessment. Peng Xin was even more steady. This battle was simply more interesting than all the previous assessments. Regardless of who won or lost before, both of them had a reason to win at this moment.
Although Peng Xin was in a passive position at the beginning, she gradually turned the situation around. In the end, she infused all of her energy into an attack and fiercely knocked away the candidate's longsword. The sword landed on her head and finally floated an inch away from her head.
Without a doubt, Peng Xin won this round!
"Good!"
"Sister, you can do it!"
There was another round of applause. Peng Xin raised her head and smiled sweetly at Lu Xuan. At least she didn't let Lu Xuan down.
Liu Yun's expression became ugly. Regardless of whether Qin Yueyi could win or not, Peng Xin, whom she had judged to have failed, had actually defeated the candidate she judged to have passed. This was already a slap to her face.
"I hereby announce that Peng Xin has passed the test. Does anyone have any objections?" Lu Xuan looked around and said. Liu Yun pursed her lips and did not say anything. She had no reason to object.
Nodding, Lu Xuan looked at the examinee again and said, "Thank you for your hard work, examinee. This is a Spirit Replenishing Pill, you can consume it to quickly recover your Origin Energy. As long as you can defeat Qin Yueyi, I'll add two more bottles of Human Grade Nine Spirit Cleansing Pills in addition to these two bottles of Spirit Harmony Pills!"
That examinee didn't want to continue, but when he saw that Lu Xuan had given him elixirs that could recover his Origin Energy and added two bottles of Human-tier ninth-grade elixirs, his fighting spirit couldn't help but rise again.
Lu Xuan looked at Qin Yueyi and smiled. He patted her shoulder and said, "Go down and do your best."
Qin Yueyi dodged involuntarily after being patted by Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan was stunned, but then he smiled. He didn't expect Qin Yueyi to be so vigilant. Qin Yueyi felt embarrassed. She had been too sensitive recently.
After smiling apologetically at Lu Xuan, Qin Yueyi flew down. Lu Xuan hadn't seen her smile before. Now that he saw her smile, he couldn't help but feel amazed. Women who could smile were the most beautiful.
Even Peng Xin was able to defeat this examinee, so Qin Yueyi had nothing more to say. Moreover, she was filled with gratitude towards Lu Xuan. Naturally, she wouldn't let him down. Unlike her previous defense, this time around, Qin Yueyi's attacks were sharp and incisive, taking the initiative to attack. In just a few moves, she easily defeated that examinee.
On the other hand, Liu Yun's face had already turned extremely livid. Lu Xuan was simply her natural nemesis! She wanted to take revenge on Lu Xuan, but she didn't expect to be slapped in the face.
However, the candidate who was called up by Lu Xuan was on the verge of crying. Not only did she not receive the reward from Lu Xuan, but she also lost two rounds in a row. It was a great humiliation.
Lu Xuan was sweating. He quickly came to her side and handed over a bottle of Spirit-Harmonizing Pills and a bottle of Soul Cleansing Pills. He said, "You've worked hard. Take these two bottles of pills as your reward for fighting two rounds."
The candidate smiled through her tears. After thanking Lu Xuan, she ran down the stage with a red face. From time to time, she would turn her head to look at Lu Xuan. Yes, a handsome, powerful, generous man would be welcomed no matter where he went.
Lu Xuan naturally didn't have any special thoughts about this candidate. He flew up again and looked at Liu Yun. "Elder Liu, I now announce that Qin Yueyi has passed the assessment. Do you have any objections?"
"No objections." Liu Yun gritted his teeth. This Lu Xuan still wanted to humiliate him.
However, Lu Xuan's face suddenly turned cold. He snorted and said, "You don't have any objections, but I do!"
"As an elder and an examiner, not only are you unable to distinguish your own status, you're even using your position to avenge your personal grudges! Your existence is a symbol of unfairness to the examinees here! "
"I, Lu Xuan, have said that I want to put an end to all unfairness this time. So, I'll start with you! From now on, you're no longer the examiner of this selection! I can take care of two large assessment grounds by myself. "
Liu Yun was shocked. "What did you say? What right do you have to strip me of my examiner status? Who do you think you are?! "
"Xiang Yi said before that I'm in charge of this assessment. Stripping you of your qualifications is naturally my right!" After a pause, Lu Xuan shouted at the martial artists below the stage. "Everyone, do you think I should strip Liu Yun of her examiner status?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes! "
Thunderous voices rang out from below the stage. Among them, many were the family members of the candidates. They didn't have any relationship with the Peony Palace and could only rely on their own strength to take the assessment. Of course, they hoped that they could all be impartial examiners like Lu Xuan, and not examiners like Liu Yun who took care of their own people.
Lu Xuan snorted coldly and said, "Did you see that? Did you hear that? The power is with me, and the hearts of the people are with me. Now, get off the stage for me! "
At this moment, Liu Yun's complexion was no longer livid, but pale. She didn't expect that Lu Xuan would be so unyielding. He even publicly stripped her of her examiner status in front of so many eyes. How could she establish herself in the Peony Palace in the future? How could she establish herself in Hundred Flowers City?
She didn't want to leave with her tail between her legs, but she knew that if she didn't leave, Lu Xuan would directly kick her out in the next moment. It would be nothing more than a joke.
"Lu Xuan, you're ruthless. You're ruthless." Liu Yun nodded and stared at Lu Xuan. "I, Liu Yun, will remember today's matter. Don't forget that a woman's heart is the most vicious. I will repay you very well."
"Noisy!" Lu Xuan didn't listen to Liu Yun's ruthless words at all. He waved his hand and slapped Liu Yun. A huge force instantly struck Liu Yun down, and she quickly fell to the ground again. It was almost the same as before.
"Lu Xuan! You and I are irreconcilable! "Liu Yun screamed crazily.
Lu Xuan didn't care about her anymore. He first let Peng Xin and Qin Yueyi go to the disciples' area to wait, and then began the next assessment. He himself took care of the assessment of the two examination rooms.
The other three examiners were already trembling with fear because of Lu Xuan's style. Even if they had any thoughts before, they didn't dare to think about it anymore. They didn't dare to overstep their boundaries. Otherwise, they would end up like Liu Yun. They just wanted this assessment to end quickly. The previous Sect Selection Examiners had a good job, but this year, it was definitely a hard job!
Under everyone's obedient cooperation, the assessment went very smoothly. The examiners didn't dare to be biased, and the examinees didn't dare to cheat. The order of this year's Sect Selection couldn't be better.
Soon, 402 of the 403 examinees who passed the temperament assessment had already finished. Lu Xuan finally called Qin Yueyi up to compete with the last remaining examinee. Although this examinee was defeated, Lu Xuan still judged her to be qualified. At this point, the Peony Palace's Inner Court Disciple selection was finally completed.
Among the 403 examinees, 236 examinees passed and successfully became Peony Palace's Inner Court Disciple. Among the remaining examinees, more than 150 chose to enter the Outer Court first, and the rest left.
Although the elimination rate was as high as 40%, which was also higher than the previous years, Lu Xuan dared to guarantee that those who should have passed definitely passed. As for those who couldn't pass, none of them were able to sneak in.
Returning to the examiner's seat, Tian Xin mischievously patted Lu Xuan's shoulder and said, "Lu Xuan, you still have tender and protective feelings for the fairer sex. Tsk tsk, when you stood up for Peng Xin and Qin Yueyi just now, even I was touched. Not only did you take out four bottles of Human Grade Nine Medicinal Pills, you even bet your own reputation on it. Hehe, if I were Qin Yueyi, I might even have to devote my body to you."
Lu Xuan was helpless. Just as he was about to speak, Tian Xin said, "Also, did you notice the female disciple you called up to compete with? That female disciple is not bad looking. When she left the examination venue, she simply looked back every three steps. The lingering, fiery, and adoration in her eyes really made me envious. What a pity, what a pity. If you didn't let me be an examiner, I would have won the hearts of many beauties. "
"I say, Tian Xin, are you done or not?" Lu Xuan rolled his eyes. "Xiangyi knows you have bad intentions. That's why I didn't let you be an examiner. Look, you've revealed your fox tail now."
Tian Xin waved her hand. "What do you know? This is called a man's nature."
Just as Tian Xin and Lu Xuan were talking nonsense, Liu Yun, who had been stripped of her position as an examiner by Lu Xuan, actually flew over again. Moreover, this time, she wasn't alone. She brought several cultivators with her.
Perhaps they sensed that the atmosphere wasn't right, but the cultivators who were about to leave after the end of the examination all stopped and looked over.
