After Liu Suifeng came down from the top of the mountain that day, it was clear that he was working harder than usual. He had not left Qingyun Peak for the past half a month.
Liu Ruyue felt that this sudden change was strange. She asked Xiao Chen what was going on. Xiao Chen thought that Liu Suifeng did not want his sister to know about this, so he could only say that he did not know.
Xiao Chen nodded helplessly. He thought of something and took out a Flowing Light Flower from his Universe Ring and handed it to Liu Suifeng, "This is for you. Before the exam, it should be able to help you."
Liu Suifeng received the Flowing Light Flower that was glowing with a golden light. He asked suspiciously, "What flower is this? What a dense fragrance. "
A dense fragrance spread out and immediately attracted Liu Ruyue's attention. When she saw the Flowing Light Flower in Liu Suifeng's hands, she revealed an astonished expression. She walked over and asked in astonishment, "Flowing Light Flower? Ye Chen, where did you get it? Hey, this is not an ordinary Flowing Light Flower. It is a natural treasure close to Immortal Grade. "
Liu Ruyue paused for a while. The expression on her face turned from astonishment to shock. She snatched the Flowing Light Flower from Liu Suifeng's hands and handed it to Xiao Chen, "Ye Chen, this Flowing Light Flower is too precious. Suifeng cannot accept it from you."
"Flowing Light Flower?" Liu Suifeng's expression changed, "The legendary Flowing Light Flower that can increase one's comprehension ability, allowing one to be reborn!"
Xiao Chen waved his hand and took out another Flowing Light Flower, "I obtained this in the fortuitous encounter underground. I have already consumed one, there is no point in continuing to consume it. There is still one left for Elder Sister Ruyue to break through to Martial King. I will give it to you now as well."
Liu Ruyue had never been a pretentious person. After she heard the whole story, she received it and gratefully said to Xiao Chen, "We siblings owe you a favor."
Liu Suifeng's expression turned serious. He clenched his right fist and punched Xiao Chen, "Brother, I will remember this favor. With this Flowing Light Flower, I should be able to break through to Martial Saint by the end of the year without any problems.
"Who knows, I might be able to comprehend something in these three days. I might be able to practice the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique to Great Perfection and pass the exam to become a core disciple."
Three days later, in the back mountain of Qingyun Peak.
Twists and turns!
Within the forest, Xiao Chen remained in his original position. He turned around and quickly dashed forward. The saber in his hand drew an arc and a strong shockwave appeared in the surroundings, extending towards the snow-white blade of the Lunar Shadow Saber.
The aura on Xiao Chen's body condensed continuously. After a while, a small mountain peak appeared behind Xiao Chen. His aura suddenly rose to the peak, as if he was standing on the peak of the mountain.
That's not right. The concept of the Twisting Road Around Peak is not like this. Xiao Chen suddenly shook his head in his heart. The Twisting Road Around Peak refers to when the situation has reached a dead end and an unexpected ending suddenly appears.
But the concept I'm executing now is simply one that has arrived at a hopeless situation. Instead, its imposing aura is ferocious, and it's advancing triumphantly. In this way, how could there possibly be any room to turn back?
Doubts arose in Xiao Chen's heart, and the aura that he had gathered also leaked out. The small mountain behind him also instantly disappeared into nothingness.
Xiao Chen sheathed his saber and stood upright. His complexion was somewhat pale. This was the backlash of failing to execute the move.
"Never mind, it looks like it is not time yet. This is just a core disciple exam. With my strength, even if I did not comprehend the sixteenth move of the Lingyun Saber Technique, it is more than enough for me to pass," Xiao Chen said after he adjusted the chaotic Essence in his body.
Early the next morning, Liu Ruyue and Liu Suifeng had already arrived at Xiao Chen's courtyard. A green bird landed quietly beside the two of them.
"Let's go, I will not be accompanying you to the core disciple exam. Suifeng already knows the location. I wish you all good luck," Liu Ruyue smiled faintly at Xiao Chen, who had just come out.
Xiao Chen nodded and leaped onto the green bird that Liu Suifeng was riding. The green bird flapped its wings ferociously, creating a huge shockwave as it soared into the sky. It welcomed the rising sun and flew towards the east.
As the wind blew past Liu Suifeng's ears, Xiao Chen stood behind him. He could feel that Liu Suifeng's aura was much stronger than it was three days ago. He said, "Congratulations, your strength should have increased significantly in these three days."
Liu Suifeng revealed a satisfied smile, "En, it is all thanks to the Flowing Light Flower that you gave me. I have already practiced the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique to Small Perfection in three days. With this Earth Ranked Saber Technique, I am confident that I can become a core disciple this year."
"Is the core disciple exam very difficult? Why do I feel that the strength of the core disciples is not that great? "Xiao Chen asked as he stood behind Liu Suifeng.
Liu Suifeng's expression sank. He nodded and said, "It is very difficult. In the entire Heavenly Saber Pavilion, there are less than five thousand inner disciples.
"With your strength, it should not be a problem for you to become a core disciple. As for why you have not met any strong core disciples, it is because they are out on experiential training. They will not return to the Heavenly Saber Pavilion until the end of the year.
Heavenly Saber Pavilion, Heaven Viewing Platform, on a drill ground:
The spectator stands of the drill ground were already filled with inner disciples. These were all here to watch the excitement of the annual core disciple exam.
In the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, this was only second to the Ranking War at the end of the year. Most people would put down what they were doing on this day. Even if they did not participate in the exam, they would come to watch the excitement.
There were ten elders seated on the tall platform. These were all people from the Elders' Assembly of the Main Hall. They were the ones who truly held power in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion.
The seven Peak Masters sat quietly at the side. They all had calm expressions on their faces. However, no one knew what they were thinking in their hearts.
Core disciples were a scarce resource in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. Even the Peak Masters of each Peak could not directly appoint them. In order to become a core disciple, one had to pass the test set by the Main Hall.
There was a very intuitive way to judge which Peak was the strongest. Whichever Peak had the most core disciples would be the strongest.
Currently, of the seven Peaks of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, the strongest was naturally Tianyue Peak. Of the five hundred core disciple slots, Tianyue Peak occupied half of them, more than two hundred.
Aside from Qingyun Peak, which only existed in name, and Jade Maiden Peak, which only had female disciples, the strength of the other five Peaks was about the same; there was not much of a difference.
Song Que, who was left with only one arm, did not have much color in his eyes. His arm had been chopped off. He had already given up on his ambition to become the Pavilion Master.
Suddenly, he rolled his eyes and looked at the incomparably calm Tianyue Peak's Peak Master, Leng Tianzheng. He smiled and said, "I'm afraid Senior Brother Leng will take the top spot in this core disciple exam. I wonder how many Tianyue Peak disciples are participating in the exam this time?"
Leng Tianzheng looked at Song Que and smiled coldly in his heart. He revealed a gentle smile on his face and said indifferently, "About a hundred, I'm not too sure."
When the other Peak Masters heard this, their expressions changed slightly. There were only fifty slots for the core disciple exam every year. Unless there were exceptional talents, there would not be any more slots.
The inner disciples who wanted to participate in the exam had to become a Superior Grade Martial Grand Master before the age of nineteen. The other Peaks had at most twenty-odd disciples who could meet this requirement.
Compared to the number of Tianyue Peak, they were not worth mentioning. If they were to compete, they would not be able to win. It seemed that Tianyue Peak would take at least half of the core disciple slots this time.
The stipend and treatment that a core disciple received was more than twice that of an ordinary inner disciple. Their cultivation speed was also much faster.
If all the slots were taken by Tianyue Peak, then for a long time in the future, the strength of their Peaks would not be able to surpass Tianyue Peak. They could only be suppressed.
Thinking of this, the Peak Masters of the other Peaks exchanged glances. They could see a helpless expression in each other's eyes.
A cold look flashed in Song Que's eyes. He casually glanced at Liu Ruyue and said, "However, I'm afraid no one from Senior Brother Leng's Tianyue Peak will be able to obtain the first rank."
The Wanren Peak's Peak Master, Wan Feng, asked in confusion, "Why? The first rank for the past few years seems to be from Tianyue Peak."
Song Que looked coldly at Liu Ruyue and smiled, "It looks like Junior Brother Wan is not aware of some things. Your Peak's core disciple, Yang Qi, was already defeated by Peak Master Liu's new disciple in the Hall of Contributions. Furthermore, he did not even use a hundred moves.
"There is also that Quick Saber Lin Feng. He is even more laughable. He was defeated with one punch."
Wan Feng revealed a suspicious expression. He had been in closed-door cultivation all year round. If it were not for the core disciple exam being an important matter, he would not have come out. Hence, he did not understand what was going on in the mountains.
Wan Feng tilted his head slightly and asked an elder of Wanren Peak behind him, "Elder Su, is there such a thing?"
Elder Su's expression was somewhat unsightly. However, he still told Wan Feng everything he knew in full detail.
After he heard everything, Wan Feng's expression turned sullen. He looked at Liu Ruyue and said, "I have not come out for some time. I did not expect Qingyun Peak to have a successor."
Liu Ruyue was expressionless. She knew that Song Que was trying to sow discord. She looked at Song Que coldly and said indifferently, "You only have one hand left, yet you are still so vicious. Be careful of biting your tongue."
Just as Song Que was about to say something, Leng Tianzheng looked at him in disgust, "Junior Brother Song, it is best that you worry about your own matters. Don't bother with other people's matters."
At this moment, the Jade Maiden Peak's Peak Master, who had been silent all this while, said, "Senior Brother Song, there is no need to be so decisive. Yang Qi's strength is not considered top-notch among the core disciples. It is not a big deal for him to be defeated by an inner disciple. Such things happen every year in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion.
"Furthermore, the process of how he defeated Lin Feng with one punch is worth discussing. There is no need to be too shocked. The most important thing is that I heard that a new disciple appeared in Tianyue Peak recently. He managed to practice the Lingyun Saber Technique to Great Perfection, which no one in the past hundred years has managed to practice to Great Perfection."
He actually practiced the Lingyun Saber Technique to Great Perfection. When the others heard this, they all revealed shocked expressions. This was equivalent to a peak Earth Ranked Saber Technique. If he could practice it to Great Perfection, no one in the same cultivation realm would be his match.
