The three of them were Gui Ru Quan of the Nine Infants Mountain, Zhu Chi, and a thirty year old beautiful nun with a head full of black hair.
At this time, Liu Ming already knew that the Gui Ru Quan's full name was Gui Ru Quan. Since the beautiful nun was standing with them, it was obvious that she was Martial Aunt Zhong.
As for the other inner disciples, other than the newcomers and the disciples that Liu Ming had seen before, there were also many older disciples that were over thirty years old.
These older disciples looked unfamiliar, but each of them had a strong aura. It was obvious that most of them were not simple.
After a while, another ten or so inner disciples landed around the plaza. After no one else appeared, Gui Ru Quan coughed lightly and spoke.
"Very good, other than the few disciples that couldn't make it back in time due to the Sect's mission, all the disciples of the Nine Infants Faction have arrived. This was also the first minor competition since the new disciples of the branch entered the sect. Those disciples that perform well in the small competition will be rewarded. Those that perform the best will receive additional rewards. Junior Zhu, take out the testing tools. "
The last few words of the Gui Ru Quan were directed at Zhu Chi.
"Senior, don't worry, I have already prepared everything." The man with the long hair laughed and walked forward. Suddenly, a few light yellow glyphs appeared in his hands and he raised both of his hands.
After a series of banging sounds, white gas rolled out and a dozen or so items appeared in the middle of the plaza.
When Liu Ming saw this, his eyes lit up. Those glyphs should be the storage glyphs that Martial Uncle Su mentioned.
To be able to put so many things into such a small glyphs, it was indeed amazing!
Five black iron locks of different sizes, a white stone tablet that was half a foot tall, and seven or eight different colored puppets. Some of them wore thick armor, while others held huge swords that were as tall as a person.
"According to the old rules, the competition will be divided into three groups. The new disciples will be in one group, the thirty and above disciples will be in another group, and the remaining disciples will be in another group. The competition will be divided into three categories: strength, techniques, and combat. Junior Zhu, you will be in charge of the thirty and above disciples. Junior Zhou will be in charge of the thirty and below disciples. I will personally be in charge of the new disciples. "Gui Ru Quan explained a little before saying.
Zhu Chi and that Martial Aunt Zhong naturally would not object.
After a brief discussion, the three of them decided to test the new disciples first, then the disciples under 30 years old, and finally the old disciples over 30 years old.
The Confucian scholar coughed lightly and walked out.
"New disciples, step forward. Let the Senior Brothers and Sisters who haven't seen you before get to know you. Our Nine Infants Faction may not be considered strong in the Sect, but in terms of unity, we are definitely not inferior to the other factions. "
Hearing the Confucian scholar's words, Liu Ming and the other four rookies naturally walked forward. They introduced themselves and bowed to the surrounding people.
The other disciples naturally returned the gesture with smiles on their faces.
"Yu Cheng, as a direct disciple, you can start first. Let me see the results of your training in this half a year. "The scholar glanced at Liu Ming and the others before finally stopping at the red-haired young man and speaking.
Hearing this, the red-haired youth naturally bowed in agreement. He then walked towards the five black metal locks and finally stopped in front of the smallest one.
Although it was the smallest, the black metal lock in front of him was the size of a washbasin. It seemed to weigh around four to five hundred pounds. A normal person would definitely not be able to move it in the slightest.
At least, Liu Ming believed that if he did not stimulate his potential, he would probably be forced to move it.
The red-haired youth let out a low roar and grabbed the handle of the metal lock with both hands. His two arms suddenly exerted force.
However, the metal lock only swayed a few times and was unable to leave the ground.
The red-haired youth's face became slightly red. He suddenly muttered something and a layer of faint yellow light covered his entire body. His entire aura became completely different from before.
After another loud roar, a few thin and long yellow Spirit Inscriptions appeared on the youth's arm. He actually managed to lift the metal lock with trembling hands.
"Peng!"
In an instant, the youth's face was completely red. The metal lock was thrown back onto the ground. It even smashed a shallow hole in the ground.
"Looks like your Earth Spirit Method has already reached the first level. Otherwise, with just Fa Li, you would not be able to lift this lock. Do you still want to try a second one? " Seeing this situation, Gui Ru Quan smiled slightly. He did not make any comments on the result of the red-haired youth lifting the metal lock.
The other Inner Sect disciples who were watching from all sides of the plaza all laughed and looked on. They also did not show any signs of surprise.
"It was already very difficult for this disciple to lift this one. It is impossible for me to lift a second one." The red-haired youth took a few deep breaths and calmed his slightly panting chest before replying respectfully.
"Hmm, then use your strongest spell to attack this stone tablet made of White Burmese Crystal from ten steps away. The depth of the mark you leave on it in ten breaths' time will be used to judge your mastery of the spell and its power." The Confucian scholar said slowly.
"Yes, Master Gui!" Yu Cheng replied and immediately walked a few steps away from the white stone tablet. With a serious expression, he quickly formed a hand sign. After a few breaths, a thin green piece the size of a palm appeared between his hands. It became brighter and brighter.
The youth suddenly shouted "Wind Blade". With a wave of his hand, the thin piece immediately shot out in a flash.
With a "pu" sound, a clear white mark appeared on the seemingly smooth stone tablet. It was about half an inch deep.
This stone tablet was surprisingly hard.
Yu Cheng continued to chant, but this time, when the wind blade between his two hands formed a point, Gui Ru Quan said indifferently, "Time's up."
The red-haired youth could only disperse the unfinished spell with an unwilling expression on his face.
"En, to be able to enter half an inch into the tablet, it seems that you have spent a lot of time on this spell. As long as you continue to work hard and can attack twice within ten breaths, this spell will be considered to have reached the Small Success Realm. However, the further you train in spells, the harder it is to improve. You must be mentally prepared. "The scholar glanced at the stone tablet and finally nodded his head to remind him.
The red-haired youth nodded.
"After the first two tests, I can only give you an average evaluation. The final result will depend on your final battle. You are new disciples, so you only need to fight the lowest grade puppet. "As the scholar spoke, he walked towards the humanoid puppets.
He stopped in front of the bare-handed and shortest puppet. With one hand, he slapped a groove on the puppet's chest and immediately inserted a white Spirit Stone into it. He then used a finger to point at the puppet's head and a wisp of black gas flashed and entered it.
In the next moment, the originally motionless puppet's eyes flashed with a red light. It actually walked with large strides into a circle that had already been drawn on the plaza and stopped moving.
"You and this puppet with a low level Battle Soul will fight in this circle. No matter who walks out of this circle, it will be considered a failure. The exact result will depend on how long you can last under the puppet's attacks. "Gui Ru Quan said with his hands behind his back.
Hearing this, the red-haired youth did not dare to be slow. With one hand, he touched his waist and took out a green short blade that was a few feet long. He carefully walked into the circle.
The moment he stepped into the circle, the originally cumbersome looking puppet suddenly moved and actually pounced towards him like a gust of wind.
The red-haired youth was shocked and almost instinctively slashed at the puppet with the short blade in his hand.
With a "pu" sound, a light green blade swept out. However, when it slashed at the puppet, it only caused its body to freeze slightly. It then continued to pounce as if nothing had happened.
The youth immediately panicked and hurriedly retreated.
As he continued to wave the short blade in his hand, he hurriedly chanted the Wind Blade Chant. However, in his panic, he repeatedly made mistakes in the chant and actually did not even release a single Wind Blade.
A moment later, the puppet had already arrived in front of him with the Practitioner Weapon. With one palm, it sent him flying out of the circle.
"Low level combat. Overall evaluation, below average. "Gui Ru Quan shook his head and said calmly.
Yu Cheng was not really injured, but after standing up, he could only dejectedly walk back to the other disciples.
When Liu Ming and the other new disciples saw this, they could not help but look at each other.
"Next, Xue Shan." The scholar unceremoniously called out the next name.
Xue Shan grinned, but he could only brace himself and walk out.
As expected, after the three tests, he, who had not yet mastered the first level of the Foundation Technique, was unable to lift any of the chains. In the spell test, he could only use the Fireball Technique to barely leave a small mark on the stone tablet. In the end, the result of the actual combat was even worse. In an instant, he was also sent flying out of the circle by the puppet.
The final evaluation he received was naturally only "low level".
Wan Xiao Qian, who was below, was slightly better.
Although this girl's performance in terms of strength and spells was also not good, in the final battle, she first used the Lighten Body Technique on herself. In addition, she also used another type of wind element spell to assist her. She was actually able to withstand the puppet's attacks for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea and finally received an evaluation of below average.
"Bai Cong Tian."
The scholar's gaze finally fell on Liu Ming.
Liu Ming took a deep breath and slightly activated the Dark Bone Method. Immediately, a layer of faint black gas rolled out from his body and he walked towards the chains.
Seeing this, the scholar's gaze slightly froze.
On the other side, Zhu Chi was originally whispering something to the Taoist nun beside him. After his gaze swept across and saw the strange scene on Liu Ming's body, he could not help but let out a light sound of surprise.
Seeing this, the Taoist nun beside him raised her eyebrows and asked:
"What, why is Senior Zhu so surprised?"
"Junior Zhong, you don't know. This child only has a Three Spiritual Pulse and his cultivation method is not our faction's Ghost Spirit Method. However, from the looks of it, he has already mastered the first level of the Ghost Spirit Method. This is a bit unexpected. "Zhu Chi slowly replied.
"If there is such a thing, it seems that this child is not as simple as a Three Spiritual Pulse." Hearing this, the beautiful Taoist nun looked at Liu Ming with an expression of interest.
