"What's wrong? Are you talking about that Chen Hao?" Xiao Bo asked coldly.
"Yes, that youth is extremely talented. He broke the record of the first test with just his physical strength and was the first to pass the Xiao Clan's test. Moreover, he has an obsession that ordinary children don't have. First place belongs to none other than him!"
"None other than him? He didn't even go to school and doesn't know a single word. How can he be first? Humph, the fact that I didn't remove him from the list is already out of consideration for his talent. I've decided on last place! "
"I'll give him three months. If he can recognize all the words in the Boundless Sea of Learning, he'll be allowed to study the Xiao Clan's martial arts. Otherwise, he'll be eliminated!" Sixth Elder Xiao Bo said coldly.
"Sixth Elder!" Hearing Xiao Bo's words, Cold Faced Iron Hand Xiao Guan was confused. "In the past, the Xiao clan only looked at the test results when recruiting disciples. When was there ever a requirement on whether a disciple has attended school or not?"
"Humph, if he can't even read, how can he have any comprehension ability? Cultivation methods and heart sutras, especially high-level ones, are all difficult to understand and rely on comprehension ability. How can an illiterate person comprehend them? Even if his talent is amazing, how high can he achieve? "Xiao Bo retorted sharply." I've already made up my mind. Xiao Guan, say no more! "
Xiao Guan was furious, but he couldn't find any reason to retort. Indeed, the more profound a martial art was, the more difficult it was to cultivate the heart sutra. How much one could comprehend depended entirely on one's comprehension ability. But while studying literature could increase one's comprehension ability, it only had a small effect. It didn't have much to do with one's comprehension ability. Otherwise, what was the point of having a master? A master's job was to teach and dispel doubts, passing on their own cultivation insights to their disciples.
Furthermore, if studying literature was really so important, then wouldn't the current generation's great scholars all become peerless experts, or even … those legendary experts?
But since Xiao Bo had put it this way, Xiao Guan could only let it go. It was just that Xiao Bo's conditions were too harsh. One had to know that the Boundless Sea of Learning didn't just contain the three thousand four hundred commonly used words, it also contained more than sixty thousand different types of characters. There were ancient oracle bone script, large seal script, small seal script, and even immortal script. It was incredibly complex. It was easier said than done to recognize all of them in three months.
Of course, Xiao Guan knew that the Sixth Elder was talking about the three thousand four hundred commonly used words. Even so, three months wasn't very likely.
…
The ninety-nine disciples were divided into three square formations under the command of the three "Qian" generation middle-aged disciples of the Xiao Clan. Each square formation had thirty-three disciples, forming a square formation. The grouping was decided by drawing lots. This way, they could avoid a large disparity in strength, forming three classes. Di Ling Er and Chen Hao were indeed fated to be in the same class, and the two of them were standing together.
"Reporting, all thirty-three eighth-generation disciples of Class One have arrived!"
"The thirty-three eighth-generation disciples of Class Two are all present!"
"The thirty-three eighth generation disciples of Class Three are all present!"
After the three first generation disciples finished reporting, they said in unison, "Sixth Elder, Director Xiao, please give us your instructions!"
The Sixth Elder, Xiao Bo, slowly stood up and walked to the edge of the stage. Wearing a white robe, white hair, white beard, a pair of eyes like torches, and a kind face. Under the breeze, his robe and beard fluttered, and his body faintly emitted a faint brown light. He looked somewhat like an immortal. His gaze slowly swept across the ninety-nine disciples, and softly said, "Congratulations on passing the Xiao Clan's test. From today onwards, you are all true disciples of the Xiao Clan. The doors of the Xiao Clan's martial arts will also be open for you! "
"Twenty-four years ago, the Xiao Clan began to recruit outer disciples. Today, the Xiao Clan's outer disciples can be found all over Yunzhou. Some are officials, some are businessmen, and all of them are elites of the elites with prominent identities. The Qian generation already has twenty-five inner disciples. The Qiu generation has nineteen, the Wan generation has ten, and the Dai generation has three. After the Yong generation, many young experts have emerged! "
"Today, you are proud of the Xiao Clan. Tomorrow, the Xiao Clan will be proud of you!"
…
Under Xiao Bo's encouragement, the blood of all the young men and women surged. Only now did they truly understand the strength of the Xiao Clan. The Xiao Clan, one of the four great clans of Yunzhou County, had disciples all over Yunzhou, forming a huge network.
Only now did Chen Hao understand that when the Xiao Clan's disciples reached the age of twenty, they would enter the Jianghu and become a member of the Xiao Clan's huge network. They would integrate into the secular world and establish their own power. There were also some who stayed in the Xiao Clan to continue cultivating and take up a position in the Xiao Clan. For example, the three instructors of the Qian generation standing in front of them, and Xiao Guan.
"However …" Xiao Bo suddenly changed the topic, and said, "In these twenty-four years, although many inner disciples have been promoted, none of them have been promoted before the age of twenty! If one is not promoted to an inner disciple before the age of twenty, it means that it will be very difficult for one to become a true expert, a ninth grade Martial King! Our Xiao Clan does not lack ordinary experts, but true experts are lacking in the future! Most of the Shi generation's disciples are between the ages of eighteen and twenty. Looking at the current situation, none of them can become a seventh grade Martial Artist and be promoted to an inner disciple before the age of twenty!
Hope can only be born in the Xiang and Ji generations. So, our Xiao Clan's Patriarch, Xiao Ding, has promised a great reward. Between the Ji and Xiang generations, whoever is able to be the first to advance into an inner court disciple before the age of 20 will receive that great reward! The right to practice the Xiao Clan's Three Great Secret Arts and a Red Refined Fruit! "
"Boom — —" The originally quiet Martial Arts Practice Field suddenly boiled with excitement.
"The Three Great Secret Arts … Return to Origin Heart Sutra, Splitting Mountain Palm, and Xiao Clan's Nine Swords! And the Red Refined Fruit … If I can get it … Ah ah ah … "The lively Ling Er actually danced with joy, her small face became red, and looked very cute.
"Is this reward very good?" Chen Hao asked, a little puzzled.
"How is it only very good? You don't even know this? Eh … You seem to know very little … Let me tell you, the Xiao Clan's Three Great Secret Arts are very, very famous. They are all level six Martial Arts, especially the Return to Origin Heart Sutra, which is comparable to a level seven Martial Arts! And the Red Refined Fruit is also a level six elixir … The Xiao Clan is indeed the Xiao Clan, so generous! "
Martial Arts and elixirs are divided into nine levels, and each level is divided into three levels: high, middle, and low. Level 6 Cultivation Techniques and Level 6 Elixirs were only available to Martial Emperors and above. In the Xiao Clan, only the Patriarch, guest elders, and other true experts are qualified to use them, but it's very rare to have the opportunity to do so.
After listening to Ling Er's explanation, Chen Hao didn't get excited like her and the other youths, but his eyes became abnormally hot.
…
Xiao Bo looked at the excited youth and slowly raised his hand, and the noise quickly subsided. He smiled and said: "Now, let's invite Head Instructor Xiao Guan to announce your new names!"
Xiao Guan coldly walked to the front of the stage and announced the new names from one to ninety-nine. Then with a cold face, he retreated.
Chen Hao officially changed his name to Xiao Xianghao!
…
After Xiao Guan and Xiao Bo left, the three instructors of the thousandth generation led their respective classes to the side.
"My name is Xiao Qianrui, and I'll be your instructor from now on. You can call me Instructor Rui." Xiao Qianrui, a thirty-six-year-old middle-aged man, was wearing a black instructor's uniform. Under the golden 'Xiao' character on his left chest was his serial number, "38", and he was ranked thirty-eighth among the thousandth generation.
"You, you, step forward!" Xiao Qianrui suddenly pointed at the two youths in front of him, and pointed at the thick stack of documents on the ground: "Distribute these, everyone except for number ninety-nine!"
"Yes, Instructor Rui!"
When the two youths began to distribute the documents, Xiao Qianrui looked at Chen Hao who was standing at the back and said: "Number ninety-nine, step forward!"
Chen Hao was stunned, and hurriedly trotted to the front.
"This is yours. If you don't understand, you can ask the others. Return to the group! "Xiao Qianrui threw a document to Chen Hao and said coldly.
Chen Hao had a bad feeling in his heart, as if he was being treated differently again. He knew that it was not something good. Clenching his fist tightly, Chen Hao suppressed the anger in the depths of his heart. Control, he could only control himself!
Only when he became a powerhouse, would all the unfair treatment vanish into thin air!
(Second Update.) It turned out that the update time had been adjusted to prevent many students from staying up until 12 o 'clock. From tomorrow onwards, one chapter would be updated at 8 o' clock in the morning, and another at 7 o 'clock in the evening. Although there were only two chapters, Wushan's two chapters had the same word count as many new books with three chapters. The new book had six thousand words per day, which should be considered generous. There were more than forty days of public release, and if there were occasional outbursts, there should be close to three hundred thousand public chapters by the time it was released. Hehe … After resting for two months, although he thought about many things in his head, he was still a little rusty, and his writing speed was slow … However, Wushan was confident that he could write Proud Heaven well. Also, let me reveal that this book does not have only one female protagonist, but there will not be many of them. A huge * * like Xuan Tian will definitely not appear … I will try my best not to be stained by thousands of flowers. Women will never be a burden to Chen Hao … Once again, please support Wushan on Qidian Chinese Network for the new book. Click, recommend, and especially favorite, these are all affirmation and support for Wushan, and also the motivation for Wushan to write … Please!)
