Chapter 275: Assessment
Xuan Haoran shouted: "Everyone, please be quiet!" The noise gradually stopped, he glanced at everyone, and then said: "Everyone, let me remind you that Zhan Chen has three indelible achievements: first, he was willing to risk his life, endured many tests, and infiltrated the Demon Luo Sect to steal information for us; second, it was by presenting the "Demon Luo Holy Scripture", the best internal strength of the earth level, that I was able to defeat the Yin Blood Sea, and third, I proposed a method to crack the Heaven and Earth Wonton Great Array, which won us precious time to capture the base camp of the Demon Luo Sect. For such a young talent, can't our rules make an exception for him?"
As soon as these words came out, there was immediately a lot of discussion below, and some of the elders began to nod their heads incessantly, agreeing with the sect master's opinion.
At this time, Xuantian Zeng spoke again: "Sect Master, we old bones are not completely old-fashioned people, haven't we already agreed with you to accept Zhan Chen into our sect? However, it is inappropriate for you to appoint him as a sect elder, to become a sect elder, you must first have enough strength and ability to serve the people. ”
Xuan Haoran smiled slightly and said, "As far as I know, Zhan Chen's strength is extraordinary, and he can blend into the Demon Sect alone, isn't this the best display of talent?"
Xuantian Zeng continued to resist stubbornly: "Sect Master, you said that Zhan Chen's strength is outstanding, but unfortunately we haven't seen it, so we can't count it." ”
"Then how do you say it can be counted?"
"Unless he can defeat an ordinary elder, let a weak person become an elder, I'm afraid everyone won't be convinced!"
"Yes, what Elder Tianzeng said is right!" At this time, many people echoed.
Xuan Haoran's face began to become gloomy, although he is the master of a sect, he can't be arbitrary in some things, and the Xuandao Sect is not like the Demon Luo Sect, the sect master can cover the sky with one hand, and he still needs some democracy.
However, since he had already released his words in advance, if he wanted Zhan Chen to become this elder, there was absolutely no possibility of repentance, so he called: "Okay, let's make a vote!
As soon as the words came out, only the four elders raised their hands. He said, "Okay, you put your hands down. Then he asked, "Then raise your hand in disapproval." ”
Xuan Tian Zeng took the lead in raising his hand, and then four more people followed him to raise their hands, and seeing this result, the old thing glanced at Xuan Haoran who was sitting on the main seat proudly.
Xuan Haoran pondered for a long time and said, "Okay, let's stop this matter, but we can't help but give such an outstanding young man a chance, so let's do it, in three days, we will hold an assessment of the sect elders, if Zhan Chen can pass the assessment, you will have nothing to say." ”
Xuantian once said: "That's natural, but for the sake of fairness, I hope that the sect master will allow it, and I will preside over this assessment." ”
"Okay God, I still have to work hard for you to choose a suitable opponent for Zhan Chen!"
"I will. Xuantian Zeng smiled.
"Adjournment!"
After the meeting, Xuantian Zeng walked out of the Haoqi Hall proudly, like a rooster with a winning head, and immediately a close elder of his knot followed up and asked, "Elder Xuanda, you are against the sect master again this time, he looks very unhappy." ”
Xuantian Zeng smiled indifferently: "It's not that you don't understand, it's not a matter of a day or two for me to go against him." This time, his decision is too ridiculous, he actually wants an outsider to climb to the position of elder, I firmly disagree, isn't this messy?"
"Then what kind of opponent is Elder Xuan going to arrange for that Zhan Chen?"
"Hehe, of course it's a great one, in short, as long as Zhan Chen loses, the sect master will have nothing to say. ”
......
Let's say that after the end of the Council of Elders, Zhan Chen was invited by Xuan Haoran again, looking at the Xuan Sect Master's guilt, he knew that he was afraid that he would encounter some twists and turns in joining the Xuan Dao Sect, so he asked, "Xuan Sect Master, is something wrong?"
Xuan Haoran sighed and replied, "Zhan Chen, I'm really sorry, although the Council of Elders agreed to let you join our sect, it didn't let you directly become an elder. ”
Zhan Chen was stunned for a moment, smiled calmly, and said, "Sect Master Xuan, it is enough to join your sect, the elder or something is just a luxury in itself." ”
"No, no, no, Zhan Chen, you still have a chance. ”
"Oh?"
"Although none of them agreed to let you become an elder directly, but in order to win an elder assessment opportunity, it will be held on the viewing platform of Cuiyun Peak in three days, when my junior brother Xuantian Zeng will draw one person from the ordinary elders to fight against you, if you can win, you will be able to become an elder smoothly. I've already seen that your strength is not simple, and you just passed this assessment to show us a hand, how about it?"
"Okay, I will definitely behave well!" A gleam flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes, it turned out that there was still room for this to turn around, so of course he had to try his best to fight for the position of elder.
The treatment of elders and ordinary elite disciples is much worse, not to mention the rich income every month, and they also enjoy all kinds of privileges, and the most important thing is that they are very free, unless there is a major event in the sect, there is basically nothing to disturb the cultivation in ordinary times.
After saying goodbye to Xuan Haoran, Zhan Chen went back to prepare for the assessment in three days, but how did he know that this matter had spread, and it had caused a lot of controversy in the Xuandao Sect, and it had also attracted the attention of many parties.
On the day of the assessment, many people gathered on the viewing platform of Cuiyun Feifeng early, including elders who just wanted to come to join in the fun, elite disciples in the sect, and even many inner disciples, all of whom wanted to see what was so outstanding about this Zhan Chen, who was recruited by the Xuan Sect Master, just came to participate in the elder assessment, and it was also a temporary assessment specially held for him alone.
It was almost time, Zhan Chen led Su Yun slowly up from the steps below, he raised his eyes and looked up, he could see a flat boulder inserted horizontally into the halfway of Cuiyun Peak, as if Cuiyun Peak stretched out a big hand, the top was flat, and there was a square circle of five hundred zhang. This is not made by man, it is completely out of the magic of nature, and the viewing platform is also named because of this, and it has become the place where many major ceremonies and duels of the Xuandao Sect are held.
Seeing that many people had already come, Zhan Chen couldn't help but speed up his pace, and when he stepped onto the viewing platform, he saw that there were already more than a dozen elders sitting on the VIP seat on one side, and they were all judges of this competition. And sitting in the middle of them was indeed an old-fashioned, serious old man. At this moment, he was looking himself up and down with curious eyes, and Zhan Chen felt a feeling of furry in his heart, quite uncomfortable, and said in his heart: "I'm afraid this person is the Great Elder Xuan Tianzeng who is against me." ”
At this time, I heard Su Yun beside him say to him: "Husband, there are so many people here today!"
Her words pulled Zhan Chen back from his contemplation, turned his head, and said with a smile: "yes, what's the matter? Worried, baby?"
"Be serious! Don't be smiling, do you know how nervous I am right now?"
"Yun'er, don't worry, you'll see how powerful your husband is later. ”
You know, you're playing against an elder-level figure today. ”
"I know, you just wait and see!" said that he didn't care, but it was to comfort his lover, in fact, Zhan Chen's heart was also very bottomless, I am afraid that Xuantian would not let himself pass the test easily.
At this moment, a loud shout came from the other side of the viewing platform: "Sect Master Xuanzong has arrived!"
"What, Sect Master Xuan is actually here?!" Everyone hurriedly followed the prestige, and really saw Xuan Haoran coming from the other side accompanied by a few elders.
Fang Tian, who was sitting in the middle of the rostrum, saw a hint of roughness flashing in his eyes, and thought: "I didn't expect Haoran Lao'er to be quite serious this time, I still have to cook well this morning!"
Poor Zhan Chen didn't realize that he had inadvertently become a bargaining chip in the game between these two Xuandao Sect bosses. At this time, Xuan Haoran finally stepped on the viewing platform. Everyone on the stage immediately saluted him, and said loudly: "Welcome to Sect Master Xuan!"
Xuan Haoran smiled, raised his hand to signal everyone to be exempt, and then said: "Don't be nervous, everyone, I am here today just as an ordinary audience, the purpose is to welcome Zhan Chen, who has newly joined our sect, and by the way, to test his strength and whether he can be qualified for the position of our sect elder." ”
When most of the people present heard this, they suddenly realized that Zhan Chen was a figure who had won the favor of the sect master! So they looked at him differently, and it was a sure thing to be able to get the blue eyes of the sect master and make steady progress in the sect in the future, and this Zhan Chen was really good luck! Many people began to envy him.
Xuantian once immediately said to Xuan Haoran: "Sect Master Xuan, please come and sit down!"
Xuan Haoran didn't move at all, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Tianzeng doesn't need it, I said, today I am just an ordinary spectator, and you are the host of this competition." ”
Xuantian once replied: "Thank you for the love of the head of the family, Tianzeng will definitely do his best to uphold justice!" So he raised his head again, turned to everyone, and said loudly: "Now, I announce that the elder assessment has begun! ”
Zhan Chen heard the call and was about to walk to Taichung, but he heard Su Yun beside him tell him with concern again: "Be careful!" couldn't help but turn his head, gave her a reassuring look, and said, "Don't worry." ”
When he came to the center of the viewing platform, he stood still, and Zhan Chen looked calm. At this time, I heard Xuan Tianzeng on the rostrum shouting expressionlessly: "Feng Tianming, you go up, face off with Zhan Chen!"
Zhan Chen saw a middle-aged man with a resolute face and blazing eyes on the rostrum standing up and walking towards him, and immediately felt that this was probably a very strong opponent.
At the same time, there was an uproar in the surrounding crowd watching the battle, everyone knew that Elder Feng Tianming's strength could be regarded as superior among ordinary elders, if Zhan Chen wanted to challenge beyond the ranks, was it possible?
