Zhong Yue stood on the stage, visualizing the 【Jiao Dragon Winding Body Totem Art】. His psyche had yet to dissipate, there seemed to be a faint green aura flowing around his body like a ferocious Jiao.
Being visible to the naked eye meant that one's psyche had reached a certain level of power!
The psyche of the Qi Practitioners in the Great Wilderness was extremely strong, they could transform into any form. The psyche could take the form of a bird to fly, a beast to leap, a weapon to kill, and the psyche could combine with the Qi to form an invincible skill.
However, that was only for the Qi Practitioners!
Zhong Yue's psyche was blurry, visible to the naked eye. Although it was still not as strong as the psyche of the Qi Practitioners, to the outer hall disciples, Zhong Yue's overbearing psyche shocked them greatly!
The 【Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art】 taught to me by Xin Huo is indeed overbearing!
Zhong Yue's heart thumped, he had only cultivated the 【Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art】 twice, and not only did he achieve the Soul Ejection Realm, the 【Jiao Dragon Winding Body Totem Art】's power had also increased by leaps and bounds. It was definitely much stronger than the Swords Gate's visualization art!
The young boys and girls below the stage were all dumbfounded, they stared at him blankly. Only Shui Qingyan was overjoyed, she clenched her fists and cheered for Zhong Yue, as if she had passed the test herself.
However, the examiners were whispering to each other, they kept discussing and did not announce the result of the test.
"This has never happened in the Swords Gate before."
Suddenly, a white-haired examiner said, "The purpose of the Cloudless Hall's test is to test the strength of the outer hall disciples' soul and combat awareness. Zhong Yue used a physique refining technique to kill the mantis demons, he does not pass the test. In my opinion, he should be judged as a failure, what do you think, junior martial brothers? "
"Senior Martial Brother Tian is right."
An examiner on the side added, "If this is considered as a pass, then the principle of the Swords Gate will be disrupted. The Swords Gate gathers the spirit and cultivates the Sword Qi to protect the Great Wilderness. If the other outer hall disciples cultivate their physique like him and ignore the orthodox Swords Gate cultivation techniques, it would be a small matter to break the rules of the Swords Gate, but if it were to ruin the heritage of the Swords Gate, then it would be a grave sin. This test should be judged as a failure …. "
Zhong Yue's heart sank, suddenly, a young examiner stood up, his hair fluttered in the wind, his aura surged and he shouted, "Enough! Senior martial brothers, I've had enough of you! It was extremely difficult for a commoner disciple to pass the Cloudless Hall test. Only one out of ten thousand would pass. Those who died or were injured were all disciples from poor backgrounds! The nobles' disciples could use the totem god pillars while the commoners had nothing at all. Where was the fairness? Since there is no fairness, using the physique refining technique, how is it! Zhong Yue, Zhong will be Swords! "
The white-haired examiner frowned slightly. "Junior Brother Zuo, you're being too presumptuous …"
"Swords Swords"
The young examiner unleashed his aura and a door shaped like a sword emerged above his head. The door opened and a fireball leaped out like the sun. In the center of the fireball was a foot-tall bird-headed celestial being, it was his Tu Ling. The young examiner sneered coldly and said, "Senior martial brothers, you are all from the prestigious sects. How can we from the humble sects have the chance to shine in Swords Gate? I also from a Swords, I Tian Swords, Gate, I, I, I Sage!. Jito!
His totem spirit had a human body and bird head, as soon as it appeared, the whole Cloudless Hall was like a scorching sun, dry and scorching hot, the air was filled with raging fire!
"Senior Martial Brother Tian, you've been a Swords Gate Qi Practitioner for sixty years, but I've only been a Swords Gate Qi Practitioner for ten years. Today, I challenge you, let's see who is stronger! Senior Martial Brother Tian, do you dare to accept my challenge? "
"Zuo Xiangsheng, you're overestimating yourself!"
The white-haired old man sneered, a Swords Gate also appeared above his head, he cast out his totem spirit, it was also only a foot tall, but it was a treant without legs, its lower body was made up of tree roots, its hair was the crown of a tree, and its leaves were luxuriant!
The two Qi Practitioners unleashed their auras, the white-haired old man's treant totem spirit swayed, countless roots danced in the air like Jiao Dragons and serpents, getting thicker and thicker, they rolled in the air towards Zuo Xiangsheng!
In an instant, his totem spirit turned into a towering tree, vitality burst out from the totem spirit, its crown shrouded the whole Cloudless Hall!
Zuo Xiangsheng's totem spirit also expanded in the air, the bird-headed celestial being's body was huge, it spread its wings, it opened its mouth and spat out fire, igniting the tree roots!
Suddenly, the treant totem spirit raised its hands, huge trees appeared in mid-air, each of them weighing over ten thousand pounds, they rained down on Zuo Xiangsheng!
Using the wood as the sword, turning it into a wood sword array!
While the bird-headed totem spirit's eyes shot out Sword Qi, it was made of fire as the sword, sharp and scorching!
The two Qi Practitioners fought fiercely, their auras pressured the outer disciples of Cloudless Hall, they all groaned in pain, the other examiners quickly shielded the disciples, they shouted, "Senior Martial Brother Tian, Junior Martial Brother Zuo, stop, quickly stop!"
With the protection of the examiners, the outer disciples heaved a breath of relief, the outer disciples looked up and saw the fight between the two Qi Practitioners getting more and more intense, they were all dazzled by the scene.
The remaining examiners did not know whether to laugh or cry, they tried to persuade the examiners, one of them whispered, "Two Qi Practitioners, fighting over an outer disciple, if this gets out, the reputation of our Cloudless Hall in Swords Gate will be tarnished!"
In the Cloudless Hall's examination, it was the first time that a mantis demon was killed with bare hands, it was also the first time that the examiners fought instead of the disciples.
"Do you need help?"
"Help who?"
"Of course it's Senior Martial Brother Tian! Senior Martial Brother Tian comes from a prestigious clan, the Tian Feng Clan is quite powerful in Swords Gate …. "
Just as the examiners finished their discussion, the white-haired old man groaned and fell down from mid-air, he fell onto the ground, blood was flowing out from the corner of his mouth, he struggled but failed to get up.
The examiners were shocked, they looked up and saw Zuo Xiangsheng standing in mid-air, surrounded by raging flames, he had turned into a bird's head and a human's body, with bird's feet and wings, he looked majestic, like a god of fire, but his totem spirit had disappeared!
"You have cultivated to the level of [Human Spirit as One]?"
The white-haired old man's face was ashen, he looked at Zuo Xiangsheng in mid-air, his eyes were filled with envy and fear, he coughed out blood and said, "You have merged with the totem spirit, I admit my defeat, you are the master of Cloudless Hall, I have nothing to say. But the rules are the rules, Zhong Shan Clan member did not use his soul to win, this is against the rules of Swords Gate, I will report this to the higher-ups of Swords Gate, we will discuss this with you! "
Zuo Xiangsheng walked down from mid-air, he laughed and said in high spirits, "Senior Martial Brother Tian, there is no need to report this to the higher-ups. The Zhong Shan Clan member, Zhong Yue, can defeat the mantis demon with bare hands, it would be easy for him to defeat the mantis demon with his soul. Since you have objections, then let him try again! Zhong Yue! "
On the stage, Zhong Yue bowed and said, "Yes, disciple."
"Take the test again, you are not allowed to kill the mantis demon with your physique refining techniques, you can only use your soul!"
Zuo Xiangsheng pointed his finger forward and the Swords Gate on the stage opened up again. A mantis demon pounced out from the gate and Zuo Xiangsheng said solemnly, "I want you to find a way for us, the commoners from the poor families, to pass the examination without the totem pillars!"
"[Jiao Dragon Winding Body]!"
Zhong Yue shouted, he visualized the Jiao Dragon totem, his psyche turned into light green air currents that flowed around his body, as if there was a Jiao Dragon coiling around his body, he raised his hands and blocked the mantis demon's arms!
The man and the demon clashed, their muscles clashed, and loud noises could be heard!
"[Soul Projection]!"
The mantis demon's arms were sealed, its speed was greatly reduced. Zhong Yue's forehead flashed, his soul leaped out and pierced into the mantis demon's brain, the Swords Gate appeared in the mantis demon's psyche ocean, a Sword Qi shot out from the gate and killed the mantis demon's soul!
Zuo Xiangsheng praised, he looked at the white-haired elder, he smiled and said, "Zhong Yue's body is strong, the mantis demon can't do anything to him, as long as his soul can leave his body, he can easily kill the mantis demon. Senior Martial Brother Tian, I said he has passed the test, do you have any objections now? "
The white-haired elder humphed coldly, he did not say a word.
Zuo Xiangsheng took out an upper house token, he passed it to Zhong Yue and said, "From today onwards, you are an Soul Projection disciple, you can receive ten Yuling Pellets from the upper house herb valley every month. You have done well, it is hard for us poor people to become Qi Practitioners, if there are more poor Qi Practitioners in Swords Gate, you will be the one to take credit! "
He was not exaggerating, Swords Gate did not place much importance on physique refining, the poor people from the Great Wilderness would usually fail in the soul test, but Zhong Yue passing the test with a physique refining technique would definitely set off a wave of physique refining techniques among the poor people, there would be more and more people using this method to pass the test in the future!
The number of poor Qi Practitioners in Swords Gate would also increase as a result!
"You are already fifteen years old this year, right?"
Zuo Xiangsheng pondered for a moment, he said, "With your age, it would be dangerous for you to cultivate your spirit at sixteen. If you have any difficulties in the future, feel free to look for me. "
Zhong Yue thanked him, he thought, This Junior Martial Uncle Zuo is really a hero.
He did not leave immediately, he stood below the stage and watched Shui Qingyan's battle. On the stage, Shui Qingyan's dress fluttered in the wind, it was as if there were waves beneath her feet, her feet did not touch the ground as she battled with the mantis demon on the stage.
She did not use the totem god pillars, but it was obvious that she had cultivated a high-level visualization art, her speed was not any slower than the mantis demon, it was just that her strength was not as strong as the mantis demon.
Zhong Yue's method of defeating the mantis demon was simple and brutal, he utilized the explosive power of his muscles to its fullest, while her movements were as graceful as a dancing fairy.
Very quickly, Shui Qingyan found the weakness of the mantis demon, her soul flew out and she visualized the Sword Gate and slashed at the mantis demon!
"The little girl of the Shui Tu Clan, she has only been in the sect for a year?"
The examiners looked at each other, one of them whispered, "Although there are Qi Practitioners of the Shui Tu Clan taking care of her, but her cultivation speed is really amazing, she passed the examination without using the totem god pillars, it is rare to see such an outstanding disciple in recent years."
As for Zhong Yue not using the totem god pillars, they had completely ignored him.
In their eyes, Shui Qingyan was walking on the orthodox path of Swords Gate, while Zhong Yue using the physique refining art was a little unorthodox.
Shui Qingyan received the token of the upper house, she left the Cloudless Hall with Zhong Yue excitedly and headed towards the upper house of Swords Gate.
The upper house was divided into the female and male houses, it was to prevent the male and female outer hall disciples from doing anything improper while staying together. After all, the outer hall disciples of the upper house were the focus of Swords Gate, if the atmosphere was too messy, it would affect their cultivation progress.
Shui Qingyan parted ways with Zhong Yue, she said reluctantly, "Brother Yue, remember to come to the female house more often!"
Zhong Yue nodded, he carried the herb basket and walked in the upper house, attracting the gazes of many along the way, he thought, I wonder if the male disciples are allowed to enter the female house … I should go to the herb valley first and get ten Yuling Pellets to nourish my body, or else I won't be able to continue cultivating the 【Sui Sovereign Visualization Art】!
