Disciple of the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
Such an identity may not be considered high in the Heaven Dao Pavilion, but if such an identity was placed in the Great Xia Dynasty, or in front of them.
This was already enough to earn respect.
The young man jumped down from the back of the flying beast, and landed steadily on the ground. In his hand was a scroll of ancient books, and he was in high spirits.
"There are quite a lot of people." The young man's gaze swept across the distance, and his expression was cold and arrogant.
As the young man's voice fell, another three young men wearing the same scholar's robes jumped down from the sky, and their faces were extremely solemn.
"Senior Kong Qing!" The three young men said respectfully to the first young man who landed.
"Yes, this time master has handed over the task of receiving the Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test to us. Thank you for your hard work." The first young man named Kong Qing nodded his head, and retracted his gaze.
"We will follow your orders!" The three young men immediately bowed.
Kong Qing did not continue to reply to the three young men behind him, but walked straight towards the crowd, and a faint light flashed in his eyes.
The biennial Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test could be said to be the only "major event" in which the Heaven Dao Pavilion interacted with the outside world. To be in charge of receiving the test, it also showed Kong Qing's strength.
Of course, other than strength, there was also experience.
Although Kong Qing was young, but he had been in the Heaven Dao Pavilion for a long time. It had been a full six years, from the Supernatural State to the peak of the Rebirth State.
Along the way, although he could not say that he was outstanding.
But it was still considered as a godly improvement.
And the so-called reception, was naturally not as simple as that. Other than explaining the rules of the test to these people, the two most important things were to test their character and potential.
In other words, it was to let these people know the difficulty of the Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test. Only in the face of difficulty, could one see a person's character in the face of difficulties.
At the same time, this was also the most direct way to see if a person had potential.
As for encouragement …
That kind of thing was not needed.
The three words "Heaven Dao Pavilion" was the biggest encouragement. Who knew how many people from the aristocratic families had racked their brains to enter the Heaven Dao Pavilion, even the princes of various countries.
Why would there be any need for verbal encouragement?
"Cough!" Kong Qing coughed lightly and stopped five steps in front of the crowd. His eyes were like torches and his body naturally exuded an oppressive aura.
Over the years, those who were able to participate in the Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test were all geniuses from various countries. Furthermore, they were the top geniuses of their respective countries. Hence, one could imagine the temperament of these people.
Arrogant and confident.
What Kong Qing needed to do was to make these people lose their arrogance and confidence. They needed to empty themselves and return their mentality to zero.
…
There weren't many facilities at the foot of Heavenly Mountain.
The prosperity of this place couldn't be compared to the capitals and capitals of some dynasties. It couldn't even compare to a small mountain village because there were only five small wooden huts here.
Other than that, there wasn't even a bird's egg.
However, the five small wooden houses could be considered exquisite. They were built with white wood and were very clean. They were lined up in a row and looked very neat.
In front of the five wooden houses was a small flat ground. It was also paved with white stones, and every stone was almost the same shape and size.
However …
However, the area was obviously smaller. With a few hundred people standing on the flat ground, it still looked a little crowded at first glance.
The appearance of Kong Qing and the three young men naturally attracted the attention of the crowd.
The crowd that was originally in a heated discussion instantly quietened down. However, it was only silence. It was impossible for them to not dare to breathe too loudly.
After all, they were all geniuses, true geniuses.
Furthermore, many of them had extremely high statuses. This could more or less be seen from the patterns printed on their clothes.
"This time, the Heaven Dao Pavilion only received 32 tokens. Why are there so many people?" Kong Qing's voice rang out at this moment.
"…." No one answered.
Only gazes met each other's, and there was silence. Absolute silence.
"Scram!" Kong Qing's gaze turned slightly cold.
"Hua …."
In an instant, a few hundred people ran towards the back. In just a moment, there were only 32 young men dressed in luxurious clothes left.
Of course, other than the 32 young men dressed in luxurious clothes, there was also a ground full of fruits and desserts.
"Alright, the unrelated people have all left. However …." Kong Qing nodded his head lightly. At the same time, his gaze swept across the luggage on the ground. "Why is there still so much rubbish left on the ground?"
"…." Silence once again.
The 32 young men dressed in luxurious clothes did not say a word.
However, among the few hundred people who had run far away, a few dozen of them ran back. Each of them lowered their heads and quickly picked up the items.
"Did I say that I need you to pick up the items?" Kong Qing waved his hand. Instantly, a white wave of air blew towards the people who were picking up the items.
"Bam!"
"Bam, bam …."
"Ah …."
A few crashing sounds could be heard, followed by a few screams. The dozens of people who ran over were once again pushed back. However, this time, they were pushed back.
"Even if the envoy wanted to put on a show of strength, isn't this a little too harsh?" At this moment, a voice came from among the 32 young men. Then, a young man dressed in a blue brocade robe with an eagle-like beast embroidered on his chest stood out.
"Sixth Highness, I am fine. Please return to your position!" The moment the young man stood out, a weak voice could be heard.
It was a lady dressed in a blue dress. She looked delicate and pretty, but her face was a little pale. At the same time, there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.
It was obvious …
This lady was injured in the previous attack.
The young man dressed in blue heard the lady's words and his body trembled slightly. At the same time, he subconsciously clenched his fists. However, after a while, he released them.
Then, the young man retreated back into the crowd.
"Why? Why did you retreat? Could it be that as a man, you can't even protect your own woman? "Kong Qing looked at the young man who retreated into the crowd and revealed a cold smile.
The young man clenched his fists again. He gritted his teeth and his eyes were cold. However, in the end, he silently endured and did not refute.
"I'll give you a chance now. Defeat me and I'll apologize to her!" Kong Qing seemed to have no intention of letting the young man go. As he spoke, he pointed at the lady in the blue dress.
The young man still did not speak, but his body trembled slightly.
"You, can get lost!" Kong Qing looked at the young man and waved his hand.
"Why?" The young man finally spoke. His expression was filled with disbelief. "Just because I said that you were too harsh? If that's the case, I can apologize! "
"Alright, then kneel down and apologize to me!" Kong Qing nodded.
"You …" The young man's expression changed. He did say that he could apologize. However, kneeling down and apologizing were two completely different concepts.
"Plop!" A sound was heard at this moment.
The young man did not kneel down, but the lady in the blue dress did. Furthermore, she quickly kowtowed to Kong Qing.
"Lord Messenger, I beg of you. His Highness is extremely talented and has already stepped into the Rebirth State. He only made such a mistake in a moment of confusion. I hope that Lord Messenger can forgive him this once on account of his talent and his identity as the Sixth Prince of the Radiant Moon Empire." The lady in blue said as she kowtowed.
"Rebirth State?" When Kong Qing heard this, he smiled. "It seems that he is indeed talented. When I first entered the Heaven Dao Pavilion, I was only in the Supernatural State."
"Please forgive me, Great Messenger!" When the lady in the blue dress heard this, a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes. She kowtowed to Kong Qing again.
"Alright, then I'll give him another chance. Three moves. If he can take three moves from me, not only will I keep him here, I'll also apologize to you. How about that?" Kong Qing's smile was still on his face.
"You said it yourself!" The young man in the blue dress looked at him coldly. At the same time, a dense blue light shone from his body.
"Yes, I said it." Kong Qing nodded his head.
When the three young men behind Kong Qing heard this, they slowly took a few steps back. However, they looked at the young man in the blue dress helplessly.
The young man in the blue dress did not speak again.
Instead, he attacked.
In an instant, a curtain of water appeared between him and Kong Qing. It was a curtain of water that fell from the sky. It was like a string of silk.
Following which, the young man in the blue dress moved.
His body was like lightning as he leaped over the curtain of water and turned into a ray of light. However, above the ray of light, there was a layer of crystal-clear light.
Just like a water droplet.
"A drop of water can pierce through a stone. The Radiant Moon Empire's Water Droplet Sword looks quite beautiful!" Kong Qing's smile widened. However, he did not move. Instead, he waited quietly for the arrival of the young man in the blue dress.
The Water Droplet Sword.
Of course, it could not be without a sword.
However, the sword was hidden within the thousands of water droplets. It was a hidden technique. At the same time, it was an extremely explosive and mysterious killing technique.
"Ding!"
The sword whistled.
It was a crystal-clear blue long sword. When it was only an inch away from Kong Qing's body, it suddenly pierced out from the water droplet and went straight for Kong Qing's throat.
However, at the moment when the sword pierced out, something strange happened.
Kong Qing did not move.
However, the sword that was piercing towards Kong Qing stopped. At the same time, a sharp sound rang. It felt like the friction and compression of the air.
The young man in the blue dress's expression changed at this moment.
This was because he suddenly felt like his body was going to explode. The pressure was as heavy as a mountain, squeezing his chest and making it difficult for him to breathe.
What was going on?
Was it the Heavenly Dao?
No!
This was not the Heavenly Dao, but it was still the control of the air.
"Beautiful indeed. It's just that your strength is lacking." Kong Qing squinted his eyes. At the same time, he lifted one of his legs and kicked the chest of the young man in the blue dress.
In the next moment …
The young man in the blue dress flew into the air.
However, this was not the end. After the kick, Kong Qing's body disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already above the head of the young man in the blue dress.
"Bam!" A dull sound rang out.
Following that, the ground shook violently.
The young man in the blue dress landed heavily on the ground. He did not shatter the white pebbles on the ground, but he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"What a pity. If you did not initiate the attack and chose to defend with all your might, perhaps you would have a chance to stay after sustaining serious injuries. However, you still could not suppress the anger in your heart." Kong Qing's body landed on the ground again. He looked at the pale young man and shook his head.
"Sixth Prince of the Radiant Moon Empire, lacking temperament and too impulsive. Eliminated!"
…
No one knew what the Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test was going to be. This was because after Kong Qing announced the elimination of the Sixth Prince of the Radiant Moon Empire, he immediately left and walked into a small wooden house.
As for the other three young men, they stayed where they were. However, none of them said a word.
The afternoon sun shone down from the sky and shone on the flat ground. The patch of red on the flat ground became brighter and brighter.
"Young Master, the Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test has already begun. It seems that Fang Zhengzhi will not be coming." A soft voice rang out among the remaining 31 young men.
"No, he will definitely come." Qian Wu, who was dressed in a black luxurious robe, shook his head. His eagle-like gaze swept across the three young men standing in front of him. Following that, he looked at a figure not far away.
"Young Master, why are you so sure?" The voice rang out again.
"Because, Yan Xiu is here." Qian Wu's gaze was fixed on the figure not far away. He was dressed in a black luxurious robe and had a cold expression on his face.
Yan Xiu is here!
Then, how could Fang Zhengzhi not be here?
This was what Qian Wu was thinking.
Even though Fang Zhengzhi's name was not on the list of candidates announced, he still appeared here. He had traveled thousands of miles from the Holy Barbarian Empire to this place.
His goal was to regain the "glory" that he had lost.
As the next successor to the throne of the Holy Barbarian Empire, he did not care about the throne. However, this did not mean that he could tolerate the people around him pointing fingers at him.
The strong could not accept failure.
Even if it was just once!
The real strong would climb back up from where they had failed.
Hence, Qian Wu came.
However, the current him did not know that a shocking scene was happening in the small wooden house in front of him.
Kong Qing, who was in high spirits, was trembling uncontrollably. No matter how hard he tried, he could not understand that at the foot of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, with three Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples guarding outside the door.
Someone actually dared to "sneak attack" him from behind.
"Plop!" Kong Qing fell to the ground. His body was weak and he did not have a single ounce of strength left. The reason was simple. He was poisoned. He was poisoned the moment he entered the small wooden house.
