Chapter 1443: Cruel Assessment
Since stepping into the cultivation path, Ye Tian has found that he has strangely adapted to this world.
Whether it is fighting or practicing, he is very handy, and even has a strange sense of familiarity.
In some of his practices, he has a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu.
It's just that when he really thinks about it, Ye Tian can't grasp that trace of inspiration, and some thoughts seem to sink into the deepest part of the sea of knowledge and are firmly sealed.
Therefore, Ye Tiancai quickly gained a preliminary foothold in the cultivation world.
Originally, he thought that the fierce array was really unworthy of the name, and the fierce was fierce enough, but it didn't seem to make him have any qualitative changes, so he didn't have any ecstasy after he walked out of the fierce array.
But now, feeling that state of not being able to stop all the time, he feels that everything is worth it.
He felt that his current state was surprisingly good, there had never been such a moment, he was fearless, he was enthusiastic, he was full of ambition.
The key is that now he is confident that he can become a registered disciple at the end of the month, which is what he wants most.
On the way back, Ye Tian felt relaxed, as if he had unloaded a thousand pounds of burden, and he never had a hard time when he came.
After returning to Shenque Peak, Ye Tian came to Xin Chao's residence and told him that the bandits had been eradicated.
Seeing that his temperament was as calm as water and his body was spotless, the other party couldn't help but smile slightly: "Brother Ye is not simple! There are not many of the fifty outer disciples who can complete the task so cleanly." β
After a few days of analysis, Ye Tian already knew that his advantage was actually very large, but he didn't like to fight, and he only frowned at Xin Chao's praise and didn't have a happy look.
Xin Chao saw that he was sullen, his face was also a little serious, and he said to him: "Do you want to ask why you don't uproot all the bandits?"
Hearing this, Ye Tian's body shook, obviously he didn't expect his mind to be seen through by this giggling Xin Chao at a glance, he nodded and said, "Please also ask Mr. for advice!"
Xin Chao smiled and said, "Brother Ye, I was similar to you when I was young, and I also wanted to eliminate violence and peace after learning the skill. But now I know that as long as there are people, there are bad people, and bad people cannot be killed, and we practitioners have more important enemies to deal with. β
After listening to the other party's answer, Ye Tian seemed to understand something, but he still didn't agree with the practice of burning the fire.
Then, the two talked for a while, and Ye Tian seemed to say inadvertently: "It is said that the saint we watched is beautiful and fragrant, I don't know if Mr. Xin has ever seen it?"
Xin Chao was stunned for a moment when he heard his words, and then replied suspiciously: "Holy Maiden, we are not a cult in Northern Xinjiang, what kind of Holy Maiden is there, where did you hear about it?"
Although he had already expected the answer, Ye Tian was still disappointed in his heart, he had been in the Burning Fire Temple for more than 20 days, and he was really worried about Chen Die's safety.
He casually perfunctory Xin Chao said goodbye and left.
When he returned to his lodgings, he pondered silently.
To be honest, he still has some respect for Xin Chao, the well-informed and unscrupulous outsider, otherwise he would not call the other party "Mr".
It's just a pity that they are not destined to be all the way, so Ye Tian can't communicate with him, so he can only fake the entertainment, which is a bit unfair, just to rescue Chen Die, he can't help it.
The day after tomorrow is the day of the assessment, and now he has seen blood, killed people, and the blood book in his mind is also full of energy, which makes his confidence in becoming a registered disciple even stronger.
In a blink of an eye, the day of the assessment has arrived.
More than fifty people followed the old man named Du Baixian and climbed towards the top of the mountain.
The mountain road was rough, but the old man walked on the ground as if it were flat, and it did not seem to be laborious at all.
Ye Tian slowly climbed in the middle of the team unhurriedly while observing the situation of the others.
When a cultivator's strength reaches a certain level, it is difficult to be killed.
Experienced cultivators know how to kill a difficult opponent, that is, wait for the opponent to make a mistake, unless it is crushed by strength, this is the only way you can kill the opponent is to seize the opponent's flaw, and then kill them with one blow.
This is very different from the martial artists in the mortal world, those martial artists can overwhelm people with their strength, and fight harder than you and him, but the cultivators have long blood and blood, and they will hardly get tired or distracted, even if you perform perfectly, it is difficult to kill the enemy at once.
Therefore, Ye Tian was still very disadvantaged in this regard, he had no experience in fighting with cultivators, he didn't know how to protect himself, and he didn't know how to grasp the other party's Achilles' heel in a flash.
However, in fact, he was not very worried, but he was more at ease when he saw the contemptuous and indifferent gazes cast by those people.
The effect of the mask is not only to change his appearance, but also to change his breath, to those people he is just an impulsive and irritable hairy boy.
However, Ye Tian has been patiently observing them, speculating on each person's temperament, imagining the weaknesses they may have, these are all incidental to the Qi Induction Recipe of All Things, I have to say that he learns very quickly, of course, super perception helps a lot.
He is more aware of his position, this is his first advantage, and the second advantage is that he has already touched some of the doorways of the Spiritual Mind of All Things, so not only is he the best in terms of the amount of spiritual power, but he is also the best in everyone.
Ye Tian felt that as long as he gave full play to his advantages, it should not be difficult to get a place as a registered disciple.
Thinking about it, the group of them had come to a small square at the top of the peak.
Du Baixian told them to wait patiently, and someone would be in charge of their assessment.
It's just that Ye Tian always felt that there was schadenfreude in his eyes when he looked at them, as if the person who came was some kind of fierce god.
Ye Tian was full of confidence and didn't think much about it, just carefully observed the square where they were.
The whole square covers a large area, and it looks imposing, and there are several high platforms in the center of the square, which seems to be a place for them to fight.
Although the square was on the top of a high mountain, but he didn't know what the people who lit the fire were doing here, Ye Tian didn't feel depressed at all, nor did he feel a trace of breeze and cold, which made him yearn for those immortal powers even more.
Ye Tian thought that such a magical power was in the hands of the wicked, it was a pity, if it was used for good, it would definitely benefit all the people, wasn't he studying for this?
After waiting in the square for a while, a middle-aged man with a grim face walked over.
Du Baixian smiled at them and said, "This is the Li Sect Master of the Beacon Fire Hall, the person in charge of this assessment, follow him." The old man wishes you success.
First glared at Du Baixian, who was still there, and then the Li Sect Master said coldly to them: "You come with me!"
None of the fifty people, including Ye Tian, spoke, and silently followed the one-armed man towards the center of the square.
"I don't care how you do it, I don't care what you can do, as long as you're the only one standing, then no matter who you used to be and what you used to do, you're going to be sheltered by our view of fire. β
When he arrived in front of those high platforms, the one-armed Li Sect Master immediately said the rules, which were very simple and barbaric, and it could be said that there were no rules at all.
The one-armed man casually pointed at them and let them fight in pairs, and soon it was Ye Tian's turn to be in a nervous mood.
Standing on the high platform, Ye Tian looked at the white clouds in the sky, waiting for the opponent to come to the stage, and for a while he only felt that the sky was so blue, the clouds were so white, and the surroundings were extremely quiet, as if those shouts and fighting sounds were from another world.
Finally, Ye Tian's opponent came to the stage, a lean man with a face full of surprises.
The other party seemed to be very happy to be able to use him as an opponent, and he looked like he had won.
Ye Tian didn't know if he was really strong or if he was really weak, he just kept using super perception to probe him, study him, and see through him.
Then, with a soft snort, the one-armed man began.
Almost in the first breath, the lean man pounced on Ye Tian, like a leopard, his hands went straight to his soft neck.
Looking at the opponent with a cruel and excited expression, Ye Tian sighed in his heart and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to die." β
Then, Ye Tian swung his long sword violently, and the speed was so fast that he completely caught the other party off guard.
His reaction couldn't be said to be unhappy, he avoided Ye Tian's long sword with a slight side, and when he wanted to continue the attack, there was a mixed expression of surprise and regret on his face, and Ye Tian didn't know how to describe it.
Ye Tian didn't even have time to wipe the blood off the long sword, and the second competition began.
Looking at the strong man on the other side of the ring, Ye Tian sighed.
What should be faced is still to be faced, at this point, Ye Tian has no way back, whether it is the big man with murderous intent, or the igniting fire concept like a behemoth, he has no intention of turning back.
The matter has come to this, Ye Tian can only do what he should do.
When the strong man howled and rushed towards him, Ye Tian's right hand holding the sword became even harder.
Compared to that beast-like strong man, Ye Tian seemed to have a leisurely demeanor, and the other party shot with all his might, but he just stood like that, not that he looked down on the other party.
Instead, Ye Tian didn't want to make the first move, and the other party suffered a big loss in the formation, and he had super perception, so he planned to brake quietly.
It's just that soon he paid the price for his soft-heartedness, and when the strong man screamed and raised his fist to smash at him, Ye Tian's eyebrows suddenly stabbed.
Although it seemed that he could solve the other party with a slight swing of his sword, Ye Tian still believed his feelings, instantly blessed his legs with spiritual power, and then jumped away quickly.
The moment he left the place, he only heard a "snort", and a layer of black liquid sprayed out from the sleeve of the strong man's coat, and then layers of white mist rose from the entire ground.
Ye Tian looked at the corroded ground with a pale face, and cursed in his heart: "Damn!
He raised his head and looked at the big man who seemed to have no scheming, and understood where he was wrong, and when he was fighting for life and death, he softened his heart and let the other party take the initiative, and as a result, he almost capsized in the gutter, but underestimated the enemy, his disguise is really very deceptive, but others are not wearing masks and talking to him.
It is true that super perception can see the depth of a person's strength, but it can never see through those conspiracies, Ye Tian immediately decided not to rely too much on this super perception in the future.
While he was thinking, the strong man had obviously not recovered from the shock of being dodged by the other party, and was still looking at Ye Tian in a daze.
When Ye Tian raised his head and looked at him with bright eyes, the other party came to his senses and grinned: "It was me who was wrong." I thought you were just a fool who could only play tricks. But next timeβ"
Before he finished speaking, he felt a flower in front of him, Ye Tian's palm had quickly cut into his neck, and the right hand infused with spiritual power had an irresistible force.
The bear-like man immediately fell to the ground, but his constitution was obviously extraordinary, and he struggled to get up.
Ye Tian could only give him another ruthless blow, and the other party fainted silently, which meant that Ye Tian had successfully obtained the quota of a registered disciple.
At the same time as the other party fell, a cold voice came: "Victor Ye Tian." β
Then Ye Tian felt that the scenery in front of him changed for a while, and it seemed that he had returned to the square.
In fact, he has been in the square all along, but his mind is so focused on fighting that he thinks he has arrived in another world.
The first opponent, the lean man's strength was much stronger than the second, he had no possibility of keeping his hand, but just used the spiritual power that was superior to the opponent to forcibly change his tricks and solve him.
Now that I think about it, in fact, he can also keep his hand, but I don't know why his mood was particularly tyrannical at that time, and he killed the other party without thinking about it.
He didn't mind killing anymore, but what he was afraid of was that something was controlling him, and he didn't want to be a puppet.
While Ye Tian was thinking silently, the one-armed man walked over, looked at the strong man who was motionless on the ground, and then said coldly to Ye Tian: "Why don't you kill him?"
Ye Tian raised his head and casually met the other party's cold and lightning-like gaze, and said very calmly: "Because there is no need." You said that I only need to be the one standing to win, and I don't have to kill. β
The one-armed man looked at Ye Tian, whose face remained unchanged, with a strange gaze, and said in a cold and hard voice: "Lucky boy, in the future, you will be a member of the Beacon Fire Hall." β
Hearing this, Ye Tian was overjoyed in his heart, threw away all the worries in his heart, and shouted wildly in his heart: "Chen Hu, have you seen it? I have already taken the first step, and soon I will rescue your sister, you can rest in peace." β
After calming down, Ye Tian found that the other people had also completed the competition, but these victors did not have a single living mouth.
Of the fifty outer disciples, only these seven survived, so how could Ye Tian not sigh.
The bloodstained five victors also looked at the almost spotless Ye Tian with very strange eyes, as if they didn't understand why he didn't kill his opponent, or they were curious about how someone like Ye Tian passed the assessment.
Maybe in their opinion, if you want to practice, you have to be ruthless and ruthless.
Ye Tian didn't pay attention to their gaze, he was now immersed in the joy of the successful implementation of the plan, and these monks were destined to be different from him, and they couldn't say that they would have to draw their swords against each other in the future.
However, what made Ye Tian feel incredible was that the five people who passed the assessment were the ones he thought needed to pay attention to before, Li Qingchen, Chen Lihong, He Yixing, Xu Ruohuo, and Ren Qiang, all of whom stood in front of him intact.
If it was an ordinary person, it might be a coincidence, but Ye Tian was keenly aware of the hidden meaning behind it.
It seems that this Li Sect Master can also see that those who are the strongest among them, the competition is just a formality to prove his speculation, he is still very concerned about the potential disciples, and he doesn't want them to be consumed in the internal fighting, so several of the more powerful ones are not against each other.
So, those who died were just a testament to the fact that the survivors were indeed sacrifices worth cultivating.
Thinking of this, Ye Tian felt a burst of sorrow for those innocent people who died like this, and was angry that this view of burning fire was really an evil way, and it was simply inhumane.
Ye Tian clenched his fists again, suppressed the anger in his heart, and turned it into a driving force to move forward.
Six men standing and one unconscious man were silent in the bright afternoon sun, their faces as cold as rocks.
Seeing this, the Li Sect Master pursed his lips and said, "Don't think it's great that you killed a few straw bales. It seems to me that you are just big bales of straw, no different from those lying there, just lucky. β
He was just about to continue, when a crisp voice sounded from behind him: "They're not big bales, they're very powerful." β
This is a lazy voice, crisp and immature, indicating that the owner of the voice is definitely not very old.
But this seemingly harmless voice shocked Ye Tian's body, and he hurriedly raised his head and looked behind the Li Sect Master.
A young man who looked to be at most twelve or thirteen years old walked over slowly, with a cheerful expression on his face, looking at Ye Tian and them with a lazy and playful gaze.
Although the young man's gaze was understated, as if he was the son of the neighbor, everyone who looked at him felt a pang in their hearts and couldn't help but bow their heads.
These monks, who had just become registered disciples, all had blood on their hands, and they all thought that their hearts were extremely tenacious, but when they saw this young man, they were like mice seeing cats, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to look at each other's clothes after just one glance, and they didn't even understand the other party's clothes.
Ye Tian also lowered his head with everyone. But his heart was still beating "thump", and it was a little difficult to breathe for a while.
This situation only appeared when he did not gain spiritual power, since he had spiritual power, he seemed to be omnipotent, there was no fear and nervousness at all, and even the first time he shot to kill the thief, it was only slightly uncomfortable.
However, now Ye Tian did feel the unparalleled pressure, as if the fair-skinned and handsome young man in front of him was some kind of evil ghost beast.
It was not for nothing that he was so nervous, first, this young man was indeed very evil, and second, he had heard the young man's voice, and even knew that his surname was Sha.
