Chapter 12

How could it be like this! Zhan Chen looked at the entrance criteria announced by the Golden Elephant Sect with a look of disbelief. Didn't they only accept disciples at the eighth level of the Martial Disciple realm? How did it become the tenth level of the Martial Disciple realm this year?

The Golden Elephant Sect recruited disciples once every ten years. In other words, the next recruitment would be ten years later. In ten years, he would be 24 years old, almost 25 years old …

Could it be that he was not given a chance at all? Zhan Chen clenched his fists unwillingly.

"Sigh! What the hell! What's going on this year? " A large number of unwilling students began to rush to the recruitment site. They all had the same situation as Zhan Chen.

However, these were all foolish actions. They angered the examiners. They personally took action and crippled a few people. Just like that, the remaining people had no choice but to leave in disappointment. In less than two days, the people in Shannan Town had left nearly eighty percent. However, there was also a group of people who were similar to Zhan Chen. They were not willing to leave so easily. They still went to the registration site every day to try their luck.

On this day, Zhan Chen came to the registration site as usual. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd.

"Look! What a beautiful person. There is actually such a beautiful person in this world. It's a pity that I've lived these ten years in vain. "Many people let out such exclamations.

Zhan Chen looked in the direction of the voice and saw a familiar face — Su Yun! She actually came to apply for the Golden Elephant Sect.

When the examiner saw her, he was immediately shocked. He loudly said, "Su Yun, 16 years old, middle stage Martial Master. Directly accepted as an inner disciple!"

"What?" It was as if a nuclear bomb had exploded in the crowd. Such a beautiful woman was also a cultivation genius!

Almost everyone present lowered their heads in shame. They did not dare to look at her again. However, there was one exception. He was Zhan Chen.

At this moment, Zhan Chen's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. He looked provocatively at Su Yun in front of him. He firmly believed that with the Thundercrash Sword Art and the Wandering Dragon Soul Sword, he would not lose to anyone in the future.

Su Yun seemed to feel that someone in the crowd behind her was provoking her. She could not help but turn around and smile sweetly at Zhan Chen. Of course, at this moment, she would not recognize that Zhan Chen was the disheveled beggar that she had saved that day.

The moment she saw Zhan Chen, Su Yun suddenly had a feeling of familiarity. Her beautiful eyes could not help but be confused for a moment. But it was only for a flash. She then turned around and followed the examiner up the mountain.

"Who was the beautiful Su looking at just now?"

"Who was she looking at?"

"Hehe, you're more like marrying a sow!"

...



But this was just a small interlude in the recruitment process. After another two days, the recruitment of the Golden Elephant Sect's outer disciples had ended. When the examiner announced the end of the recruitment, many people left dejectedly. But there were still many people who begged bitterly. Some even knelt down in front of the crowd and wanted to recognize the examiner as their parents.

But no matter what methods they used, they were always greeted by the examiner's face. In the end, even the few remaining people had no choice but to disperse resentfully. Because staying in this Shannan Town would only be a waste of time and money.

But until this moment, Zhan Chen did not leave. Because he was different from others. He had a kind of determination and would not give up.

The second day after the recruitment ended, Zhan Chen continued to observe the Golden Elephant Sect's mountain gate. He found a phenomenon. From time to time, there were some people going in and out of the mountain gate. Some were fetching water, some were chopping firewood, some were buying vegetables. There were even some people carrying some hunted game up the mountain.

These people were the odd-job workers! Zhan Chen's grim face could not help but show a trace of smile, "Perhaps I am not qualified to become an outer disciple. But I am more than qualified to be a odd-job worker! This is the only opportunity to enter the Golden Elephant Sect! And once you enter the sect, you will always have the opportunity to come in contact with the cultivation method ancient books. "

After making up his mind, he closely followed a odd-job worker. After he left the mountain gate, Zhan Chen called out from behind: "Brother, please stay."

That person could not help but stop his footsteps. He turned around and saw a resolute and strong handsome boy greeting him. He could not help but have a good impression of him. He stopped and asked: "Little brother, what's the matter?"

Zhan Chen quickly stepped forward and asked: "May I ask big brother's name?"

"My name is Li Ming."

"My name is Zhan Chen. I want to enter the Golden Elephant Sect as an odd-job worker. Do you have any way?"

"This..." Li Ming's face immediately showed a difficult expression.

"I will not mistreat big brother." Zhan Chen immediately put a banknote into his hand.

Li Ming looked at it and could not help but be shocked. It was more than 200 taels! It was also a coincidence that he saw a Hundred Refined Saber in the town yesterday. It was priced at 800 taels. Unfortunately, he only had 600 taels of silver after several years of saving. Adding this 200 taels, it was really a timely rain, charcoal in the snow.

So he was in a good mood and said: "I have a way. It's just that being a odd-job worker is hard and tiring, and there is no profit."

"This is not a problem. I just want to enter the Golden Elephant Sect and show off in front of my friends." Zhan Chen found an excuse and said.

Hearing his words, Li Ming only thought that he was a rich kid who liked to show off his face. So he nodded and said: "Good! But brother, I'm afraid you will have to spend a sum of money to bribe your boss. "

"You can rest assured that I have money. I will be at the Hongyi Hotel in Shannan Town. If there is any news, contact me there. After it is done, I will thank you." Zhan Chen cupped his hands towards Li Ming.

"Good, you wait for the good news!" Li Ming patted his chest and promised.

Two days later, Li Ming found Zhan Chen and said: "Kid, your luck is pretty good. It just so happens that the senior who is in charge of our odd-job workers is going to the town today. When the time comes, I will take you there. Whether it is successful or not depends on your luck, kid!"

"Thank you, big brother!" Zhan Chen put another 200 taels of banknote in his hand. Suddenly, Li Ming smiled from ear to ear.

Zhan Chen asked: "Big brother, how much money does the senior need to bribe? Can you give little brother a hint?"

Li Ming pondered for a moment, then stretched out a finger.

"One thousand taels?"

Li Ming nodded.

"Okay, thank you, big brother!"

That night, Zhan Chen could be said to be extravagant. He booked the best private room in Shannan Town's largest restaurant, served the best dishes, and invited Li Ming and Senior Brother Steward.

The three of them sat around the table and Li Mingjiu introduced: "This is senior apprentice brother Zhao Yan. He is a beginner level Martial Master."

"Greetings, big brother." Zhan Chen quickly raised his glass and toasted Zhao Yan. Although it was not his style to curry favor with those in power, he was willing to do anything to avenge his father.

Zhao Yan nodded with satisfaction and said: "You are pretty good. Filial."

Zhan Chen handed over an envelope and said: "This is a small token of my appreciation. I hope senior brother will accept it."

Zhao Yan took the envelope and opened it. There was a total of one thousand taels of banknote inside. His face was full of smiles, but he quickly retracted his smile and said: "Zhan Chen, I understand your situation. No problem. Tonight, you will follow me back to the mountain to settle the procedures."

"Thank you, big brother!" Zhan Chen quickly cupped his hands and thanked him.

… …

While Zhan Chen and the others were drinking, Wang Yin's face was filled with confusion. He looked at the person kneeling in front of him and said: "Is this the name list of this year's new outer disciples?"

"Reporting to senior brother, not a single one is missing."

"Okay, you may leave."

"Yes, senior brother."

After the people left, Wang Yin couldn't help but sink into deep thought. "Father told me to get rid of a guy called Zhan Chen, but I've never seen this person. This year, among the few Martial Masters, only Sister Su Yun came from our Black Plum Town. Could it be that something went wrong? Or this Zhan Chen did not even come to the Golden Elephant Sect? "

After a long time, Wang Yin suddenly laughed and said: "Wang Yin, ah, Wang Yin, you are worrying too much. Is an opponent that even the Golden Elephant Sect cannot enter worth your attention?"
