"Father, mother, don't worry, I will take good care of myself." On the main road of Luo City, Ye Chen led his horse and said to Ye Tianhao and Shen Yuqing.
Shen Yuqing nodded, "If you don't have enough money, you can send a letter back, and I will send someone to deliver it to you."
"It's enough. Plus, there will be a lot of rewards for completing the sect missions." Ye Chen did not plan to ask for money from his family, as he would not be happy either.
Ye Tianhao smiled helplessly, "Yuqing, when Chen Er grows up, he will earn it with his own hands. As his parents, we should not worry about him. Chen Er, be careful on the road."
"Okay!"
Ye Chen nodded heavily, "Then I will go first, you guys take care of yourselves!"
After saying that, Ye Chen flipped onto his horse, waved at the two, squeezed his legs on the horse's belly, and galloped away.
Ye Tianhao and Shen Yuqing watched Ye Chen leave.
When they were about to reach the city gate, a rider caught up from behind.
"Ye Chen!"
Ye Chen turned his head and saw that it was Ye Hai, "Where is your teacher?"
"He is waiting for me at the nameless temple ten miles away from the north gate."
As they spoke, the two rode their horses directly out of the north gate, and the guards did not dare to stop them.
The nameless temple was in the northeast, while the Sky Cloud Martial School was in the northwest. The two did not go the same way.
"Just a little thing for you." Taking out a blue crystal ball from his storage ring, Ye Hai threw it to Ye Chen.
Catching the blue crystal ball, Ye Chen asked, "What is this?"
Ye Hai had already galloped for dozens of meters on his horse. Without turning his head, he said loudly, "I don't know, but it looks pretty. I think you will like it."
"Thank you!" Ye Chen shook his head. He brought the blue crystal ball closer to his eyes and studied it carefully.
The crystal ball was about the size of a longan. It was completely transparent and contained a blue brilliance. At first glance, one would think that the crystal ball was blue. In addition, the crystal ball was very heavy, even heavier than gold of the same size. It did not seem to be made of crystal.
Since he couldn't figure out what it was, Ye Chen didn't care anymore and put it into his storage ring.
After finding the right direction, Ye Chen gently pulled on the reins and sped away.
Different from the Cyan Maned Horse he rode when he came back, this time Ye Chen was riding a real Dark Brown Horse. It could travel two thousand miles a day, it was born with great strength and was very stable. It was worth more than sixty thousand silvers, there were less than twenty of them in the whole Ye family.
At this moment, the dark brown horse was galloping at full speed. It was as fast as a gust of wind and lightning. The scenery on both sides was very far behind them.
…
Six days later, Ye Chen appeared at the foot of the Windy Mountain.
After sending the dark brown horse to the horse farm, and paying this year's fee, Ye Chen went directly to the Inner Court Disciple Assessment Site. Today was the day of the Inner Court Disciple Assessment. If he missed it, he would have to wait for another week.
At the entrance of the assessment site, there were two Inner Court Disciples on duty. When they saw Ye Chen walking towards them, the disciple on the left could not help but say, "Today is already the thirteenth person. It seems that these Outer Court Disciples have obtained a lot of benefits when they went back."
"Humph, the person in front of me has weak Qi. Obviously, he did not cultivate. He should have swallowed a True Condensation Pill."
"True Condensation Pill can help a martial artist to liquefy their Qi faster. Unfortunately, the side effects are also very big. There is no possibility of improvement within a year."
Walking to the door, Ye Chen said, "I am here to take the Inner Court Disciple Assessment."
"Go in! I hope you can smoothly pass. "The Inner Court Disciple said lazily.
Ye Chen did not mind it at all as he walked in.
The assessment hall was very spacious. On both sides of the hall, there were nine stone pillars as thick as a water tank. On top of the pillars, there were carvings of dragons and phoenixes. They looked very lifelike. And in the open space in front of him, there was a wooden frame. Under the wooden frame, there was a bronze bell. The bronze bell was three meters tall. It was dark blue in color and looked very heavy.
If Ye Chen guessed it right, this was the first assessment to be promoted to an Inner Court Disciple.
Whether it was the Sky Cloud Martial School or other Sects, in order to become an Inner Court Disciple, one had to go through an assessment. It was not as simple as just reaching the Condensing Reality Realm. After all, there was a big difference between reaching the Condensing Reality Realm and using elixirs to reach the Condensing Reality Realm. The combat power was also not comparable. In order to prevent this from happening, and to ensure that the Inner Court Disciples were elites, the Sects had to set up a variety of assessments to ensure that there were no incompetent disciples.
The first assessment of the Sky Cloud Martial School's Inner Court Disciple Assessment was held in the hall. According to Wu Zongming, the Inner Court Disciple had to punch the bell ten steps away. If the Inner Court Disciple could not make a sound, then he or she would not be qualified to become an Inner Court Disciple.
As for Zhang Haoran and Wu Zongming, they had both reached the Condensing Reality Realm on their own. That was why they could easily become Inner Court Disciples.
"Are you here for the Inner Court Disciple Assessment? Please register your identity here. "The examiner handed over a piece of paper and a brush.
Ye Chen nodded and wrote down his name and background on the paper.
"Alright, go and line up!"
At this moment, there were thirteen people waiting for the assessment. Ye Chen was at the very end of the line.
Not long after, the exam elder arrived.
Standing at the front, the Exam Master, who was in his fifties, glanced at the crowd and frowned. 'What's going on? Why is the Inner Court Disciple's Zhen Qi so weak? Did they use medicinal pellets to increase their cultivation?'
"I don't care what your cultivation level is right now. If you can't make the bell ring from ten steps away, then you will not be qualified to become an Inner Court Disciple. If you want to take the assessment again, you will have to wait for three months."
Then, the Exam Master took the information from the examiner and said slowly: "The assessment begins. First, Lin Changchong!"
From the front of the line, an ordinary-looking teenager walked out. He stopped ten steps away from the bell, took a deep breath and threw out a palm attack. The sound of the wind was extremely fast.
The bell did not move at all. The Exam Master said lightly: "Failed. Next, Fang Xiaozhong!"
Hearing the Exam Master, the teenager named Lin Changchong's face fell. He walked to the side with his head down. He glanced at the second disciple, hoping that he would also fail.
Fang Xiaozhong said to the Exam Master: "Can I use Martial Skills?"
"Yes." The Exam Master nodded.
Lin Changchong opened his eyes wide and yelled: "This is not fair! Why didn't anyone tell me I could use Martial Skills?"
The examiner scolded: "How dare you! Don't make any noise in the exam hall. Didn't you ask around before you came?"
Lin Changchong was shocked, he did not dare to say anything.
"With your Zhen Qi, even if you use Martial Skills, you will not pass. Alright, Fang Xiaozhong, start." The Exam Master did not get angry.
Fang Xiaozhong activated his Zhen Qi, his palm turned into a claw and attacked.
"Fierce Tiger Claw!"
Shoo!
The green claw light was the size of a washbasin, it landed heavily on the bronze bell.
The bronze bell still did not move.
"Failed. Next, Zhao Hu!"
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the exam hall changed.
"What is going on? Why is the exam so hard? I can't even use Martial Skills."
"Oh no, I don't think I can pass either."
The rest of the disciples looked at each other, only Ye Chen looked calm.
