"A famous teacher must have a deep understanding of cultivation in order to be able to speak clearly and point out flaws. Otherwise, the so-called teaching and explanation are just words on paper!"
"Being able to see through the essence of cultivation and practice quickly is very important. It is no worse than teaching and educating people! Therefore, I have specially discussed with many elders. We will not stick to the rules for this level of assessment, but specially designed a new set of martial arts.
.At that time, you will be given a stick of incense time to study, and you can understand as much as you can. Then you will be assessed and your grades will be determined!"
"Don't worry, this set of martial arts has never appeared before, so don't worry about leaking it in advance."
Looking around, Hall Master Kang smiled.
"Revealing the question, the hall master is joking. The most important thing in the assessment of famous teachers is fairness. Otherwise, once found out, the qualification will be revoked. How could anyone knowingly commit the crime!"
"Even if it's unfair, if Young Master Ruo Huan is the hall master's student, it should still be beneficial to him... It seems that he is about to die after being hit this time!"
"Yes, you see, before he was the leader of the four young masters, he was very high-spirited, but now, like a defeated rooster, he is really in trouble..."
"By the way, Hall Master Kang, what kind of martial arts are they? If it's simple, and according to their talents, they can comprehend the realm of Xiaocheng in less than a stick of incense, how can they compare?"
After hearing the rules of the competition, some people couldn't help but speak.
Martial arts are divided into five levels, namely: beginner, proficient, minor, great, and perfect.
Beginner refers to someone who has just understood martial arts and can barely use it.
Mastery, upgraded to a higher level, able to exert power, but not so comfortable in operation.
As for Xiao Cheng, he already knows a lot about martial arts and can use them as life-saving tricks.
You must know that most warriors have only cultivated their martial arts to this level.
As for the subsequent great success, it is completely impossible to achieve it if it is not based on one trick and takes more than ten years.
If this martial skill is simple and can be practiced to a minimum in just one stick of incense, everyone will be at the same level and it will be difficult to determine the outcome.
"Xiao Cheng?"
Knowing everyone's worries, Hall Master Kang smiled slightly: "If you knew who designed this martial art, you would definitely not say this!"
"Who designed it?"
"Is it...Elder Hong?"
"Elder Hong, who is known as the most thorough student of martial arts in the Hall of Famed Masters of All Nations, has created at least twenty-seven or eight sets of martial arts in the past fifty years, if not thirty!"
"Yes, the heavy phantom fist and the waveless chain palm that I practiced were all created by him!"
"Who says it's not the case? I also have three sets of martial arts, which are from his courses..."
"It's just... hasn't Elder Hong been in seclusion for the past ten years? When did he come out of seclusion?"
"I don't know either, but if he really created the martial arts, it would be difficult to even get started in such a short time, let alone a small success!"
…
After hearing the hall master's words, everyone thought of a legendary figure and couldn't help but talk.
"Yes, it is Elder Hong who designed this set of martial arts!"
Hall Master Kang smiled softly and solved the mystery: "Elder Hong, I have been in seclusion for ten years just for this set of martial arts. I finally created it a few days ago! It takes ten years to sharpen a sword, which shows how difficult it is. After me and others
According to the elders’ evaluation, it has reached the peak level of the middle-level spiritual level!”
"Spirit level mid-level peak martial arts?"
"sharp!"
Everyone gasped.
This level of martial arts would be difficult for even a peak fourth-level mortal to fully comprehend, let alone those who participated in the selection.
"Okay, I've said all that needs to be said. Now it's up to Elder Hong to personally announce the rules of the assessment and conduct the assessment himself. Come, please invite Elder Hong!"
Hall Master Kang smiled, looked around, and was suddenly startled: "Hey, Elder Hong, don't go, where are you... going?"
Following the sound, everyone looked around and saw an old man who had walked to the door of the main hall at some point and was about to leave.
"Ahem, I... just wander around!"
Seeing everyone's bright eyes, the old man stopped quickly and his face turned red.
"The fourth level assessment will begin soon..." Hall Master Kang hurriedly walked over and pulled him back.
"I..." Elder Hong's face flushed red: "Hall Master, if not... you should do it!"
He had originally vowed to take charge of the assessment, but when he saw the miserable state of the three elders in front of him, he backed down a little.
That kid is so weird. If I really want to test him, I don't know what weird phenomena will happen. I really don't want to ruin the reputation I have accumulated all my life just because of a test.
"How can that be done? You created this set of martial arts, and you have also practiced them to a great level. Who else but you can assess and test them? Even I can't do it!"
Master Kang said.
This set of martial arts was created by Elder Hong, who has also practiced it to a great level. Apart from him who can test everyone, who else has this ability?
At least he can't.
"Uh..." Elder Hong hesitated.
"Don't worry, in one stick of incense, no matter how powerful a genius is, he is just getting started. There will definitely be no problems!"
Knowing what he was worried about, Hall Master Kang sent a message to comfort him.
That Master Zhang is indeed weird, but martial arts are not something that can be acquired in one go. He does not believe that he can achieve great success by just learning a stick of incense, making Elder Hong, the person who created the martial arts, inferior to him.
.
So, there is nothing to worry about.
"All right!"
After thinking for a while and feeling that what the other party said made sense, Elder Hong returned to the crowd.
"Just now Hall Master Kang told you about the content of the assessment, now I will tell you the detailed rules of the competition!"
"This set of martial arts is called [Red Lotus Nine Swords]. I got the inspiration from observing the red lotus in a flash. The rules are very simple. After a while, I will give you the sword practice method.
Each one has a stick of incense to watch and comprehend!”
"After that, I will personally test your understanding. Don't worry, understanding this set of swordsmanship is related to your understanding of cultivation and talent, and has little to do with your own cultivation. As long as you reach the mortal realm, you can learn it and even use it.
.”
"During the test, you are not allowed to use your cultivation level. If you can thrust three swords in front of me in the sword test alone, you have learned the basics. Six swords are proficient. If you reach nine swords, it means you have reached the level of mastery...
...And if you fight me for more than ten moves, you are considered accomplished..."
Elder Hong explained the details.
In fact, it is somewhat similar to the cultivation test in the second level, except that you can only use the Nine Red Lotus Swords you just learned. Once it exceeds the range, the judgment will fail.
A stick of incense lasts about fifteen minutes. In such a short time, it is difficult to finish a set of martial arts, let alone understand them and use them in combat!
The assessment at this level, if you look at it carefully, is much more difficult than the previous three levels combined.
"For the sake of fairness, this assessment, like the previous competitions, will be conducted in a separate room. I will go over now and you can come in one by one..."
Speaking of this, Elder Hong paused: "Let's set the order for you first. Du Hu will be first, followed by Luo Xi, Feng Mosheng, Fu Xiaochen, Jun Ruohuan and Master Zhang!"
Zhang Xuan is weird, so let him be the last one first. Otherwise, if he is the first one to run in, if something uncontrollable happens, it will be difficult to continue.
"good!"
Everyone nodded.
"Let's get started!"
After determining the order, Elder Hong walked into the room first, followed closely by Du Hu.
After about a stick of incense, a light flashed on the wall, and a line of numbers appeared... Three!
Unexpectedly, Du Hu realized the entry level in such a short period of time and used three swords in front of Elder Hong.
As expected of a genius recommended by other elders, he is truly extraordinary.
Below is Luoxi.
She and Du Hu were ranked lowest among the six. Knowing that there was no hope of being selected, there was no pressure and they learned quickly. After a stick of incense, they both reached the entry level and used the three swords.
Next is Feng Mosheng, who is worthy of being Elder Feng's student. His understanding of martial arts is obviously better than that of Du Hu and Luo Xi who came from the kingdom below. In just one stick of incense, he actually passed the entry level and reached proficiency.
A total of five swords were used!
Fu Xiaochen is not weak either, with the same five swords.
After the four people passed by, everyone focused all their attention on Young Master Ruohuan.
He is a swordsman himself, plus he has the loudest voice and is the direct student of Hall Master Kang, so his expectations are even greater.
Although the first three levels were severely beaten, after all, he is a famous teacher who has reached the four-star level and has a transcendent state of mind. After half a day, Master Ruohuan has adjusted to his state and did not disappoint everyone. After a stick of incense, a huge "Six
"The words shine brightly.
It proves that his understanding of martial arts is the most outstanding among his peers.
"Exerting six swords in front of Elder Hong shows that he has mastered martial arts to the peak of mastery, and is not far away from Xiaocheng!"
"Yes, what a genius!"
“I just don’t know if Master Zhang can surpass this record!”
"Master Zhang... If I'm not mistaken, his best weapon should be the gun. This is a sword move, so I'm afraid he'll be at a disadvantage!"
"That's true..."
…
Seeing Mr. Ruohuan walk out of the room, everyone's eyes were focused on this dark horse who suddenly appeared.
Before, everyone was not optimistic about him, but after breaking three records in a row and becoming the undisputed number one, he already has a strength that no one dares to underestimate.
However, even so, everyone is still skeptical about this level.
After all, from the first level assessment, it can be seen that the person in front of him is good at marksmanship, and it should not be easy for him to learn swordsmanship.
Amidst the discussion, Zhang Xuan walked into the room.
Soon, the time for burning incense is over.
"Huh? Why are there no numbers?"
"Yes, according to the situation of the other people, the numbers should have appeared by now. Whether he has learned basic or mastery, it should be displayed?"
"What happened?"
At the end of the time, not only were there no numbers on the wall, but the room was also a little too quiet. Many famous teachers in the hall looked at each other in confusion.
According to this guy's urine in the previous levels, even if he defeated Elder Hong with one move in this level, everyone would be able to accept it, but... there was no movement, not even a move was displayed... What the hell?
Could it be that Elder Hong was unhappy and killed... this guy?
