In the gazebo, the night breeze blows.

Huang Pingzhang made tea and had a long talk with Gu Chen.

"The old man is a member of Heavenly Court, and he has been a member of Heavenly Court for nearly twenty years. ”

Gu Chen listened, and some basic information about the three major forces that he had learned before flashed in his mind.

Heavenly Court is the most mysterious of the three dark forces on the continent, and its members are much smaller than the other two major forces, but when it comes to influence, it is not bad at all.

"Although the old man is a member of Heavenly Court, he is only a bronze killer who can enter the Heavenly Gate, and he can't directly agree to you joining Heavenly Court. ”

"Recently, it just so happens that Heavenly Court has lost a large number of people in the Western Desert, and it is being re-recruited, and the old man can introduce you to participate in the assessment. ”

Huang Pingzhang's words made Gu Chen's face happy, but he changed his words.

"You have to think about it, Heavenly Court is a very secretive organization, if you can't pass the assessment, there is only one ending, and that is death!"

Gu Chen's face did not change. "I don't know how it is assessed?"

"There has never been a uniform standard for the members of the Heavenly Court Assessment, and it is decided by the Golden Killer who is present in charge. However, the assessment has always been strict, and the pass rate is less than 10%. Huang Pingzhang said.

Gu Chen's brows furrowed, "You also participated in the assessment back then, right?

Huang Pingzhang pondered for a moment. "According to the old man's experience, if you want to pass the assessment, the most important thing is not cultivation, but the quality of being a killer. ”

"Quality?" Gu Chen thoughtfully .

"That's right, what level of cultivation do you think you need to join Heavenly Court?" asked Huang Pingzhang.

"At least it must be a supernatural realm. Gu Chen replied casually.

"It's normal to be like this, but in the history of Heavenly Court, there are many people who have joined Heavenly Court in the Flesh Realm, and even if they are great cultivators in the Nirvana Realm, some people don't even have the qualifications to become Bronze Killers. ”

"So much?" Gu Chen was surprised.

"The biggest reason for this is quality. Whether a person has the qualities to become a member of the Heavenly Court is in the hands of the examiner. It's hard to say about quality, but if you have a skill that is conducive to the killer's action, the success rate of passing the assessment is very high. ”

"You can understand it this way, people who master these skills are considered to have killer qualities. ”

"What skills do you include?" Gu Chen asked curiously.

"The supernatural power of stealth, the swordsmanship that kills with one hit, the speed that comes and goes without a trace, and the ability to calmly analyze even any danger, these are all counted. ”

Gu Chen understood, "Then what kind of killer quality do you have, Old Man Huang?"

"Archery! The old man's archery skills are first-class among the Heavenly Court Bronze Killers, followed by marksmanship, which is barely second-rate. The more killer qualities you have, the more likely you are to pass the assessment. ”

As a killer, it is extremely desirable to have an archery that can be used to shoot a lot, which can be extremely beneficial for assassination attempts.

Gu Chen understood, and said with a smile. "Then in Old Man Huang's opinion, do I have the quality of a killer?"

"You ......" Huang Pingzhang's old eyes showed a complicated look, "To be honest, you are definitely a genius, you can have such strength at a young age, and you have a great future in many cultivation sects, I can't understand why you want to live a life of licking blood on the edge of the knife." ”

"Your Netherworld Body Technique and Breath Gathering Technique are good, they are all in line with the quality of a killer, but they are all signs of the Hades Palace, if you use them in the Heavenly Court assessment, I am afraid that you will be wiped out on the spot as a spy of the Hades Palace. ”

"In addition to that, your swordsmanship is also very good, but it is easy to recognize with a heavy sword. Heavenly Court selects members, and is more inclined to those who can perfectly disguise themselves on weekdays and live under a dual identity. ”

Gu Chen touched his chin, "In other words, I don't quite meet the requirements of Heavenly Court? Even if I defeat everyone else in the assessment, I may not be able to enter?"

Huang Pingzhang shook his head, "No, the old man thinks that you have the qualities to become a killer in the heavenly court, your heart, your calm and wise, the old man sees it in his eyes." ”

After all, people can disguise themselves, and the examiner will not use this as the assessment criterion alone. ”

Gu Chen's brows furrowed, joining Heavenly Court meant a lot to him, no matter what, he wanted to make sure that he could add it.

He pondered for a moment and asked. "If you recommend me, when will the assessment start at the latest?"

"The next assessment is set in two weeks, and you have a maximum of two weeks. Huang Pingzhang said.

"Two weeks, that should be enough. ”

Gu Chen nodded, "Old Man Huang, can you teach me your archery skills?" Of course, I will give you enough rewards." ”

"Do you want to learn archery?" Huang Pingzhang was surprised and blurted out. "Although it is said that having a superb archery can improve the success rate of passing the assessment, but learning archery is not so simple, do you have a foundation before?"

Gu Chen shook his head.

Huang Pingzhang was speechless, dare to love this kid who thinks that his super tall archery skills can be practiced in a short time?

That was the culmination of ten years of hard work!

"Chen Daoyou, you better think of another way. ”

He politely said that it was impossible to learn his archery skills in two weeks!

"I heard Miss Huang say that Old Man Huang wants the Nine Yin Stone in my hand, right?"

Gu Chen didn't explain, and asked nonchalantly.

Huang Pingzhang's pupils shrank at the moment, and his expression became serious.

"Chen Daoyou didn't mention this matter, and the old man also planned to tell you. The Nine Yin Stone is extremely important to the old man, and he hopes that Chen Daoyou will make a price, and the old man is willing to buy it at a high price. ”

Gu Chen shook his head. "I'm not short of money, as long as you teach me all the archery skills, I'll give you three Nine Yin Stones. ”

Archery is Huang Pingzhang's housekeeping skill, and it stands to reason that he won't teach it casually, but Gu Chen can only try to talk about it.

He also wanted to increase the success rate of passing the Heavenly Court assessment no matter what, and archery was a shortcut in his opinion.

"Three pieces? The old man heard that Chen Daoyou has a whole bag. ”

Huang Pingzhang's eyes flickered.

Archery is a thing that pays great attention to talent and the length of hard practice, and if he didn't teach Gu Chen before, he felt that he couldn't practice it in two weeks, and it was a waste of time.

But now that he had offered what he desperately needed, it was hard for him to refuse.

"That's five bucks at most, no more. ”

"Okay, deal!"

When Huang Pingzhang heard this, he immediately agreed, and his face was happy.

"By the way, there is one more thing that I have to explain to Mr. Huang. ”

Gu Chen saw that the two sides had reached an agreement, and added. "Now that I have helped the Huang family unify Greedy Wolf City, the Huang family has benefited a lot, and my monthly income has tripled. ”

"Three times, your original monthly salary is much higher than that of other families, right?"

Huang Pingzhang's eyes widened, even he, the head of the Huang family, couldn't get this treatment.

"Because I'm worth the price. ”

Gu Chen said confidently.

Huang Pingzhang was speechless, he just wanted to say that the five Jiuyin Stones were earned, but he didn't expect this kid to get it back so quickly, he really didn't suffer a loss at all.

But the other party's help to the Huang family was indeed worth the price, and he also wanted to repair the relationship damaged by the previous sneak attack on Gu Chen, so he gritted his teeth.

"Okay, do as you say. ”

"The old man will teach you archery from tomorrow, and I hope we will have a good cooperation. ”

"It was a pleasure to work with. ”
