Volume I. The Journey to the North Mountains Chapter 19. Flowers are not flowers and fog is not fog
The head of the sect looked up at the sky, it was exactly three quarters of the hour, and it was already the time for the disciples in the sect to assess.
"Senior brother, the time has come, can I start the assessment?" The head looked at Nangong Qi, who was still in shock, and asked.
"Start the assessment!"
Nangong Qi came back to his senses, looked at the disciples in the square, and said loudly.
"All the disciples are now stepping forward and drawing lots for a duel!"
Hearing this, the disciples in the square all stepped forward to draw lots one by one.
After a while, the draw was completed, followed by the first round of battle assessment.
The first to stand in the ring were two female disciples from the Middle Realm.
In order to prevent the assessment from being too heavy and causing casualties to the disciples, Nangong Qi and the head of the sect and the sword-wielding elder Liu Yu discussed for many days, and finally decided that the disciples should only compete with sword moves during the assessment, and should not use the true yuan, otherwise the assessment results will be directly cancelled, and in serious cases, the cultivation will be abolished and directly expelled from the Nanci Sect.
This kind of assessment will lose the original level of cultivation, but it will test the disciple's control of swordsmanship even more.
Ye Qing felt that such an assessment was meaningless, if it weren't for waiting for Ye Tongtong, he would have turned around and gone back to the room a long time ago.
Isn't it possible to carry out tasks in the future, and in the fight with others, you also have to block Zhenyuan from making moves with people?
I don't know how many times I've been killed like that.
Ye Qing couldn't help but think, is this kind of assessment still meaningful?
However, he didn't know that in the previous assessments, the Nanci Sect also allowed disciples to use True Yuan, but just three years ago, an accident happened.
In that assessment, Nangong Qi had a task in his body, and he couldn't rush back in time during the assessment, so another elder presided over it.
The Nanci Sect was still conducting the assessment as usual, everything was going smoothly, and the disciples of which session performed extremely well.
But just as the assessment was about to end and the last assessment was underway, one disciple suddenly went berserk and directly killed another disciple before everyone could react.
Before that disciple entered the ring, the senior brother next to him felt that there was something wrong with the aura on his body, and he also informed the elder who was in charge of the assessment at that time, but the elder didn't take it to heart, he just felt that the disciple was too nervous.
It wasn't until after the incident that the head of the sect and the other elders checked the disciple and found out that he had devoured a thousand-year-old demon beast's demon pill during his training.
Afterwards, that disciple was stripped of all his cultivation by the head of the sect, and he is still imprisoned in a secret room in the Nanci Sect.
As for where that disciple was, and how he devoured the demon pill, no one knew this, and after he was locked in the secret room, he never opened his mouth again, no matter how he tortured him, it had no effect.
And the elder who presided over this assessment was also punished for the crime of dereliction of duty and went to the back mountain to clean up the dead trees and fallen leaves.
Since the True Yuan could not be used, the assessment proceeded quickly, and only two hours had passed.
The next to play was Tang Yimo and another male disciple.
That disciple's surname is Zhang, and now he is in the middle realm of Tongyun, one realm lower than Tang Yimo.
But it doesn't matter because you can't use real elements.
Ye Qing glanced at it casually, and found that the disciple's sword intent had broken through the second realm of the Hug Yuan Realm, and then looked at Tang Yimo, the sword intent was still only the first level of the Mixed Yuan Realm.
If you can use the true yuan, there is no doubt that Tang Yimo wins, and the gap in cultivation is extremely difficult to surpass, but the problem is that it is not as good as the true yuan.
Ye Qing shook his head and said, "I can't beat it!" ”
At this time, Ye Tongtong was closest to him, and when she heard what he said, she asked, "Brother, who do you say can't beat whom?" ”
"Tang Yimo can't beat that disciple." Ye Qing touched her head again and said.
This scene was seen by the disciples of the Nanci Sect who had admired Ye Tongtong for a long time, and they were indignant in their hearts.
Thinking about what this guy is, Senior Brother Tang Yimo is just respectful to him, and now he dares to touch the little junior sister's head, and what's even more hateful is that the little junior sister is not angry yet.
"How so?" Ye Tongtong asked.
I thought to myself that Senior Brother Yimo was a cultivator in the upper realm of the secluded realm, and Senior Brother Zhang was only in the middle realm of the secluded realm, how could he not be defeated?
Ye Qing seemed to see his thoughts, and said: "If you can use the true yuan, Tang Yimo will naturally win without a doubt, but ......"
"But the assessment regulations can't use the true element." Ye Tongtong said.
"Not bad."
Ye Qing said.
"Tang Yimo's mastery of swordsmanship is still in the Mixed Yuan Realm, but that disciple surnamed Zhang is in the Mixed Yuan Realm."
"Brother, why don't you take out your finger and tap Senior Brother Yimo?" Ye Tongtong said.
"This is the assessment of the disciples in the Nanci Sect, I am not a disciple of the Nanci Sect, and it will break the rules if I point my fingers." Ye Qing said.
These days, Ye Qing has memorized all the swordsmanship in Tang Yimo's room in his mind, and it is naturally not a problem to guide him, but he doesn't know if others are allowed to guide him in the assessment rules.
"But the assessment rules don't say that no one can point you out!" Ye Tongtong said.
"I'll try." Ye Qing said.
At this time, the fight on the field has already entered the white heat.
As expected, Tang Yimo was at a disadvantage at the beginning, if Ye Qing didn't make a move, he would be defeated in three moves.
Ye Qing observed the duel on the field, thought for a while, looked at Tang Yimo and said loudly: "Flowers are not flowers and fogs!" ”
Tang Yimo, who was on the field, was stunned for a moment when he heard Ye Qing's voice, and then he didn't hesitate to use this sword move, successfully turning defeat into victory, and instantly reversed the disadvantage.
This sword move is from the second volume of Nanci Zong's swordsmanship "Fog Flower", which is consistent with the source of the "Hundred Flowers Blooming" that the disciple surnamed Zhang had just used, but it was just able to restrain it.
Ye Qing didn't know at this time, when he just said the sword move, Nangong Qi was looking at him.
"What a wonderful way to play with flowers, non-flowers, fog and fog to resolve a hundred flowers blooming." The corners of Nangong Qi's mouth raised a trace of arc, and he couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, the head of the Nanci Sect also noticed the voice just now, and muttered to himself: "How can he know the swordsmanship of my Nanci Sect?" ”
"He should have seen it in Tang Yimo's room." Liu Yu said.
……
……
With Ye Qing's help, Tang Yimo finally ended the battle.
Tang Yimo stepped out of the ring, walked directly to Ye Qing, and saluted, "Thank you." ”
Ye Qing didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
Tang Yimo didn't care, after getting along with 'Fengyue' in the past few days, he found that although 'Fengyue' didn't talk much, his heart was not as indifferent to him as he appeared.
How could a truly indifferent person help him solve his cultivation problems, and how could he give him swordsmanship, let alone point out when he was assessed.
Tang Yimo thought to himself that he might have a reason to be indifferent.
