Su Xiaomo defeated He Zonghing, who had the highest chance of becoming an inner sect disciple in the lower realm.
After the Third Elder's announcement, the scene fell into a temporary silence. Even if a needle fell, it could be heard clearly.
"Hahaha!"
Suddenly, Sun Yingquan laughed loudly and shouted, "Junior Brother Sun is mighty!"
His relationship with Su Xiaomo was already very close. Now that he defeated the seemingly unreachable He Zonghing, he was definitely overjoyed!
"Amazing!"
"Junior Brother Su is so strong!"
"We've all underestimated him!"
Although the disciples who originally thought that He Zonghing would definitely win were slapped in the face, they still looked at Su Xiaomo with admiration in their eyes.
Defeating a strong opponent with fair strength in the ring would naturally earn the respect of other martial artists.
Of course.
Without any foreshadowing …
Many disciples would subconsciously wonder how Gou Sheng could defeat He Zonghing!
How?
By cultivating hard and relying on various resources!
"Pfft!"
He Zonghing, who was paralyzed on the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood. Clearly, he could not accept losing to a new disciple and losing in the first round of the outer sect assessment!
"Contestants number one and two, come on stage!" the Third Elder shouted.
Although Su Xiaomo's strong performance gave him quite a surprise, the outer sect assessment still had to continue.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Contestants who drew number one and two went on stage to battle.
At this point, the outer sect assessment began to proceed in an orderly manner.
As the winner.
Su Xiaomo only needed to wait for the next round.
…
Boom!
"Senior Brother Qin, thank you for letting me win!"
In the ring, Su Xiaomo clasped his hands and said.
Below the ring, Disciple Qin clasped his hands and said, "Junior Brother Su's cultivation is strong. I accept my defeat wholeheartedly."
After defeating the favorite for the championship, He Zonghing, no one was surprised that Su Xiaomo won the second round. They had even concluded that the champion of this assessment would be none other than him.
In a similar battle mode, Su Xiaomo continued the Sect of All Times' fine tradition of making it simpler and simpler the more he fought.
This was not.
After a few words, the finals of the Outer Court Exam had arrived.
Su Xiaomo still relied on two types of martial arts to easily defeat his opponent and become the champion of this assessment.
"It's too simple!"
"There's no suspense at all!"
All the disciples were speechless.
Come to think of it, only Su Xiaomo and He Zonghing's battle in the entire Outer Sect Examination could be considered exciting. The first round of the competition could be called the finals.
"Su Gou Sheng came out on top in this year's Outer Court Examination. He is rewarded with 500 merit points and 20 natural spirit stones."
The Third Elder announced loudly. After the award ceremony, he said, "Come to the main hall."
"Yes!"
Su Xiaomo thought to himself, "The result of being reckless is to be the center of attention."
…
In the main hall.
Su Xiaomo stood there obediently.
A few elders sat at the front and released their spiritual senses at all times, hoping to find out more about this kid.
Unfortunately, once the Hidden Cultivation Technique from the Upper Realm was activated, it only showed them what they wanted to see.
"Little fellow."
The Third Elder said, "Do you want to say it yourself, or do I have to wait for someone to ask?"
"Reporting to the elders!"
Su Xiaomo said loudly, "My name is Su Jintang. I live in Sujiagou in the Southern Barren State. When I was young, I met a senior who called himself Old Man Jun Tian. Then, I became his disciple and cultivated martial arts for a few years!"
Now that things had come to this, there was no way he could hide it anymore.
He took the initiative to say it, and the elders nodded.
"Old Man Jun Tian."
The Third Elder touched his chin and said, "I've never heard of this person."
"Reporting to the elders!"
Su Xiaomo said, "Master once said that he rarely stepped into the Jianghu. He likes to travel between mountains and rivers."
"So, he's a hermit."
Many martial artists from the Falling Star Continent went to the Sands of Ganges. It was likely that there were many powerhouses who did not care about fame and fortune and lived a carefree life.
The most famous one was the Taixuan Old Man.
Such a super powerhouse who could cross the void only passed down two cultivation techniques above the divine grade. There were very few other deeds related to him.
"So, you already had the cultivation of Wuzong before you joined the sect?"
"Reporting to the elders, I broke through during this one month of cultivation. It's all thanks to the sect's resources and the natural spirit stones given by Senior Brother Sun and Sister Xia!"
"It's hard to break through to Wuzong in such a short time without an extremely high Spiritual Root."
"Come."
The Third Elder waved his hand and took out something like a glass ball. He said, "Put your palm on it."
Su Xiaomo knew that it was used to test the Spiritual Root. So, he took two steps forward and put his right hand on it. Then, he used the Hidden Cultivation Technique to suppress the level of his Spiritual Root.
"Whoosh!"
After a while, the glass ball flashed and showed a slightly red color.
The Third Elder said, "So, it's a supreme-grade Spiritual Root."
The other elders whispered to each other.
Su Xiaomo thought to himself, "The Patriarch's Hidden Cultivation Technique is really awesome. It can even suppress the level of my Spiritual Root!"
"It's normal for someone with a supreme-grade Spiritual Root to break through to Wuzong in such a short time by relying on a large amount of spirit stones and resources."
Many of the elders came to this conclusion, and they could understand why Su Xiaomo had become so strong.
"Little guy."
The Third Elder smiled and said, "You've hidden your strength well."
"Uh …" Su Xiaomo scratched his head and said, "When I went down the mountain, Master told me to keep a low profile and never show off."
All the elders burst into laughter.
It was reasonable for a hermit to teach a low-profile disciple.
"You can leave now."
The Third Elder waved his hand.
"Yes!"
Su Xiaomo left. After returning to his room, he picked up the teapot and gulped down the tea.
When he was in the main hall, he was very nervous when facing a group of senior Taixuan Shengzong officials. He was afraid that he would expose himself and be questioned by them.
"Now that I've shown them my supreme-grade Spiritual Root, they will definitely investigate my identity. I hope I don't give myself away." Su Xiaomo thought to himself.
As expected.
The elders in the main hall were still discussing Su Xiaomo, and they had already ordered the Intelligence Division to investigate this Su Jintang as soon as possible.
It wasn't that they suspected him of being a spy.
It was that supreme-grade Spiritual Root was already considered excellent. A large sect would naturally do things according to the rules and thoroughly investigate his identity.
It was unlike the Sect of All Times.
Because there were various restrictions and there was no need to worry about secrets being leaked, the disciples' identities were not checked too much. As long as they passed the test, they would be accepted into the sect.
The Taixuan Shengzong acted quickly.
In just a few days, they found information about Su Jintang, and it was the same as what Su Xiaomo said.
Su Jintang really existed in the Falling Star Continent, and he did live in Sujiagou in the Southern Barren State. He had a supreme-grade Spiritual Root, but he left home when he was eight or nine years old.
Where was he?
In the Sect of All Times.
The Taixuan Shengzong definitely couldn't find this and Old Man Jun Tian.
"Everyone."
The Third Elder said, "Su Jintang's Spiritual Root is not bad, and he was accepted as a disciple by a hidden cultivator when he was young. I think he is worth nurturing."
"This child is smooth and slick, and he doesn't like to show off in front of others. He is indeed a good seedling that can be nurtured." Elder Sun expressed his opinion.
As long as he had the chance, he would definitely put in a good word for Su Xiaomo in front of the elders. After all, he had placed his son there.
Elder Xia said, "We can give him this chance."
With two elders expressing their opinions, the other higher-ups also agreed. So after some consideration, the Third Elder announced, "Make Su Jintang a member of the inspection pavilion."
The inspection pavilion was a special department of the Taixuan Shengzong. The disciples who entered all had various kinds of potential and enjoyed a certain amount of martial arts resources. If they performed well in the future, it would not be a problem for them to be promoted to the inner sect.
"Patriarch."
When Su Xiaomo learned from Sun Yingquan that he had become a member of the inspection pavilion, he thought to himself, This disciple has gained the trust of the higher-ups. The next step is to be promoted to a disciple, and even become a core disciple!
Jun Changxiao, who was in the Sect of All Times, leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs after receiving the information from Li Luoqiu. He smiled and said, "My precious disciple, when the day comes, I hope you will have become one of the important higher-ups in the Taixuan Shengzong."
