Chapter 16: Soul Trial
Zhao Yu suddenly felt that Chu Jun was scratching his head very silly, and he chuckled, and a strange feeling rose in his heart. She was already stunning, and at this time, smiling lightly and lightly was even more glamorous, Chu Jun looked at it and couldn't help but say: "Senior Sister Zhao, you look so good when you smile!"
Zhao Yu's superb jade-like cheeks flushed, and there were many people who praised her, but Chu Jun was the first one so direct, and it could be seen from the tone of her demeanor that it was a very pure compliment, and it did not contain the slightest covetousness. And the men who were close to flattering themselves in the past, Zhao Yu could sensitively perceive the fiery and admiration they hid under their eyes, and even the naked desire, which made Zhao Yu very disgusted, and it was the first time that Chu Jun had praised it purely for appreciation.
"You mean to say I'm ugly when I'm not smiling?" Zhao Yu glanced at Chu Jun and feigned annoyance.
Chu Junnen's face turned red, and he said curtly: "I didn't mean that...... Forehead...... I'm going to try my soul, so I'll go first!" and ran away as if he were running away.
Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment, looked at Chu Jun who fled in embarrassment, and smiled dumbly, a touch of narrowness flashed in his blurred eyes, and said secretly: "Stupid melon!"
Chu Jun noticed that Zhao Yu didn't follow, so he patted his chest and said secretly: "It's really terrible!"
Chu Jun was a little afraid of facing this suffocating and suffocating Senior Sister Zhao, maybe because she was so beautiful, every time she saw her, her heart would beat faster, and she was uncomfortable, Chu Jun didn't like this feeling very much, but he was looking forward to seeing her.
After cleaning up his mood, Chu Jun walked towards the Spirit Trial Hall. Every year after the martial arts conference, Zhengtianmen will arrange a spiritual trial activity in the Spirit Trial Hall to recruit new disciples, anyone can participate, as long as they have a spiritual root, they can enter Zhengtianmen as an inner disciple. Of course, it is impossible for the Spirit Trial Hall to accommodate so many people, so the Spirit Trial Hall only accepts the spirit test of outer disciples, and a spirit test point is set up in the Five Thunder City for the physical cultivation of the spirit in the city.
When Chu Jun came to the Spirit Trial Hall, there were already two long queues there, and almost all the outer disciples of the Zhengtian Gate came, and everyone hoped that they would sprout spiritual roots and become inner disciples.
"Brother Chu, come here!" Duan Li stood behind a team and beckoned to Chu Jun, since Chu Jun was at the center of the outer gate, Duan Li changed his name to call Chu Jun Brother Chu.
Chu Jun hurriedly walked over and said with a smile: "Brother Duan, you are also here to test the spirit?"
Duan Li's chrysanthemum face bloomed, and he shook his head and said, "At my age, the possibility of germinating a spiritual root is almost zero, and I specially accompanied my son to test the spirit...... Duan Gui, call Uncle quickly!"
"Hello Uncle Chu!" a strong man next to him called out in a humming voice.
Chu Jun couldn't help but sweat wildly, this guy who called his uncle was nearly two meters tall, so strong that he was like a bull, and he still called his uncle in his twenties.
"Brother Duan, let's call me Chu Jun!" Chu Jun said.
Duan Li laughed and said, "Brother Chu calls me brother, this rabbit cub should call you uncle!"
Duan Gui looked at Chu Jun with admiration, and hummed excitedly: "Uncle Chu beat Niu Pang all over the ground to find teeth, and won the first place, much better than me, I am convinced if you call Uncle I!"
Chu Jun had no choice but to smile and say, "Practice hard, the first meeting of the next session will be yours!"
Duan Gui patted his chest and said, "Next year, I will be able to advance to the third level of physical cultivation, and I am guaranteed to enter the top ten!"
At this time, three people walked in outside the palace gate, it was Niu Pang, Zhu Chong and Hou Qiang. When the three of them saw Chu Jun, their faces couldn't help but change suddenly, and they couldn't stand in place. Chu Jun glanced at them and turned away as if nothing had happened.
Niu Pang was slashed by Chu Jun, and his left cheek was swollen like a steamed bun soaked in water, but his right cheek was sunk because he lost his teeth, which was extremely ugly and ridiculous. The outer disciples who were usually bullied by these three bullies all looked at the three of them gloatingly, and some even laughed and talked in low voices.
"Brother Niu, what should I do?" Zhu Chong glanced at Chu Jun's back in fear.
A touch of resentment flashed in Niu Pang's eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Go and line up, when I become an inner disciple, I want Chu Jun to die without a place to be buried!"
Zhu Chong and Hou Qiang couldn't help but light up in their eyes, and they were so bold that they helped Niu Pang to the back of another team. Although Niu Pang's prestige has been greatly reduced now, the reputation of murder still exists, and those who whisper and talk are silent.
"Brother Niu, remember to pull your brother after becoming an inner disciple!" Zhu Chong said deliberately loudly, his eyes sweeping over those who were mocking and talking.
The outer disciples who had laughed the loudest before all changed their faces suddenly, and only then did they wake up to the rumors not long ago that Niu Pang claimed to have sprouted a spiritual root. Under the fierce gaze of Zhu Chong and Hou Qiang, many people were worried in their hearts, and secretly regretted what they had just done, regardless of whether Niu Pang had sprouted a spiritual root or not, his fourth-level physical cultivation strength alone was not something he could deal with.
Zhu Chong and Hou Qiang saw that everyone was shocked, and their hearts were secretly refreshed, and they raised their heads high, staring at Chu Jun coldly like a demonstration. Chu Jun's sword eyebrows were slanted, his eyes turned his head sharply, and Niu Pang, including Niu Pang, couldn't help but take a step back. A touch of disdain flashed in Chu Jun's eyes, Duan Gui and his son saw all this in their eyes, and couldn't help but feel proud, especially Duan Gui's foolishness, who glared at Niu Pang and the others fearlessly with a strong chest, which was quite a bit of a fox and a fake tiger.
Zhu Chong and Hou Qiang were so angry that they secretly gritted their teeth, Duan Gui used to see himself like a mouse seeing a cat, but now with Chu Jun's support, he dared to be so arrogant. Hou Qiang hated in his heart and said: "Wait until Brother Niu becomes an inner disciple and kill Chu Jun, see if you dare to be arrogant!"
Although there are many people who try the spirit, it is also a fast turn, and it will be the turn of Chu Jun and the others in half an hour. Most of the people in front of them left with disappointed faces, which shows that there are very few people who have sprouted spiritual roots.
After another cup of tea, it was finally Duan Gui's turn. Duan Gui nervously stretched out his fist the size of a casserole into the square jade basin, which contained a transparent liquid. This liquid is called the spirit test liquid, and the person who has the spirit root can put his hand into it to make the spirit test liquid change color, and according to the color displayed, the quality of the spirit root can also be judged.
Duan Li's father and son were disappointed, and the color of the spiritual liquid in the jade basin did not change in the slightest. The inner disciple in charge of recording said lightly: "There is no spiritual root, the next one!"
Chu Jun stepped forward and was about to put his hand into the jade basin when the cheers of Zhu Chong and the others came from the right. Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted, Chu Jun turned his head to look, and saw that Niu Pang was testing the spirit, and the spirit test liquid in the jade basin turned a light orange.
"It's the six-grade spiritual root!" the people around him exclaimed, their eyes full of envy. The inner disciple in charge of recording glanced at Niu Pang and said with a humble expression: "Congratulations, you have sprouted a six-grade spiritual root!"
Niu Pang looked up to the sky and hahadaxiao, turned his head to look at Chu Jun, his eyes showed a burst of fierceness, daxiao turned into a sad smile, Zhu Chong and Hou Qiang sneered arrogantly. Duan Li's father and son's faces changed again and again, and the others couldn't help but retreat slightly, keeping a distance from Chu Jun and the others, so as not to be retaliated against by Niu Pang in the future.
Chu Jun casually put his hand into the jade basin, and the spirit test liquid immediately changed color, and it turned out to be dark green. The disciple in charge of recording couldn't help but shudder, and blurted out in shock: "The fourth grade is superior...... Infinitely close to the third grade!"
"Ahh
"Quick...... Hurry up and inform Elder Qu!" The inner disciple in charge of recording shouted excitedly, and another inner disciple hurriedly ran out.
Niu Pang's smile froze, as if he had been slapped heavily, his eyes fluttered, and he almost fell to the ground. Zhu Chong and Hou Qiang became earthy, and even trembled.
The fourth-grade spiritual root is infinitely close to the third-grade spiritual root!!
The spiritual root is divided into one to seven grades, with one grade being the best and seven being the worst. In the entire Zhengtian Gate, the disciples who have reached the fourth grade of the spiritual root can be counted on ten fingers, Shangguan Yucai, who is known as the first cultivation talent of the Zhengtian Gate, is only the third-grade medium spiritual root, Zhao Yu is the third-grade inferior in the second, and Zhao Jun's fourth-grade high-grade spiritual root is closely behind Zhao Yu, and the other four people of Zhengtian Liuxiu are all pressed down.
"Haha, seeing that you still dare to be arrogant, my Uncle Chu Linggen is infinitely close to the third grade, and I dumped you nine streets!" Duan Gui hahadaxiao proudly. The others came to their senses at this time and congratulated one after another, and even the several inner station disciples who were in charge of recording politely congratulated them.
At this time, Qu Zhengfeng and Liu Suhuo ran in in a hurry, and Qu Zhengfeng shouted even more urgently: "The fourth-grade high-grade spiritual root, you are not mistaken, where are the people?"
"It's you kid!" Qu Zhengfeng couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Chu Jun, and without saying anything, he grabbed Chu Jun's hand and stuffed it into the spirit test basin, and the spirit test liquid immediately turned dark green.
Qu Zhengfeng's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked up to the sky, and his fat body swayed, Chu Jun was really a little worried that this guy's belly would fall off.
"Haha, I've found a treasure, your kid will be my person from now on, call the master!" Qu Zhengfeng smiled and said loudly.
"Qu Fatty, why is it yours!" Liu Su on the side stretched his old face unhappily.
Qu Zhengfeng's satisfied face smiled: "Senior Brother Liu, pay attention to your demeanor, have you forgotten about our bet?" Zhao Yu's girl won the first place, and I will choose the new disciples recruited this time!"
Liu Su was speechless for a moment, Qu Zhengfeng patted Chu Jun on the shoulder in a daze, and said loudly: "You kid is blessed, hurry up and call the master!"
Not long ago, Chu Jun saw this guy's imperial sword flying down from the top of the mountain, and it seemed that his cultivation was quite good, so he hurriedly shouted: "Disciple Chu Jun to meet the master!"
Qu Zhengfeng was so happy that his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said haha: "Apprentice, come with the master, and give you some greeting gifts!" said Chu Jun and ran out, for fear of being robbed by others.
Chu Jun only felt the wind whistling in his ears, and before he could react, he was lifted by Qu Zhengfeng in the air, and ran towards the top of Leiyin Mountain with the sword light.
