Ye Liuyun and Xu Canghai came to this famous restaurant in the imperial capital for dinner.
Xu Canghai looked at Ye Liuyun and said, "Have you applied?"
Ye Liuyun nodded: "I applied, but was rejected."
Xu Canghai smiled, with a real expression on his face, and immediately said: "This is also what I expected. After all, the showdown between the two talented people is a big matter and there is no room for nonsense."
"Am I joking?"
Ye Liuyun shook his head, too lazy to say anything more.
At this time, Xu Canghai said: "I received the imperial edict yesterday and will be ready to fight at any time."
Ye Liuyun blinked and said, "Has the person who will fight against the fifth grade been determined?"
If that's the case, wouldn't he be out of luck?
What about Su Jinglan's promise to fight against everyone's opinions?
Xu Canghai shook his head and said: "The fifth-grade people are still being carefully selected. Our problem is not that there are no people, but that there are too many people. However, among so many people, there are probably only one or two who are truly reliable.
"
After Ye Liuyun heard this, he smiled and said: "Anyway, I will definitely be the one to fight in the end."
When Xu Canghai heard this, he rolled his eyes at Ye Liuyun and thought he was joking.
After all, Ye Liuyun himself had already said that the application failed.
Unable to pass Chen Nuannuan's test, His Majesty the Emperor has never even heard of Ye Liuyun.
At this time, there was a loud noise outside.
"What's going on?" Ye Liuyun asked.
Xu Canghai was also puzzled. He immediately stood up and walked out of the private room, looking at the many diners in the lobby on the first floor talking about each other.
"It's confirmed, the person who will face off against the young prince Yuan Huan of Beiyuan Wilderness this time is... Zhuge Tao!"
"It turns out it's him. It seems he's safe this time!"
"Hey, Yuan Huan will suffer a lot this time."
After hearing this, Ye Liuyun and Xu Canghai looked at each other, and then returned to the box.
Ye Liuyun asked: "What is the background of Zhuge Tao?"
Xu Canghai smiled and said: "His brother's name is Zhuge Wentian."
"Um?"
Ye Liuyun raised his eyebrows, "You mean, his brother is a celebrity?"
Xu Canghai looked at Ye Liuyun strangely and said, "Zhuge Wentian is second on the Heavenly Ranking."
"hiss."
Ye Liuyun took a breath of air.
As a result, Zhuge Wentian's ranking is much higher than that of Li Changsheng and Su Jinglan.
"But his brother is great, but that doesn't mean Zhuge Tao is great?" Ye Liuyun was speechless.
Is this guy the one who stole his spot?
You must know that Li Changsheng's younger brother Li Yimou doesn't look like he has a brother ranked fifth in the rankings. After all, the potential shown by Li Yimou is only average.
It is very likely that Li Changsheng stole all the luck of the old Li family.
This is probably the same situation between Zhuge Tao and Zhuge Wentian now.
"It's not your turn to worry about this," Xu Canghai rolled his eyes at Ye Liuyun, "This Zhuge Tao is the result of careful discussion between His Majesty the Emperor and the officials and generals. There will be no problem."
Ye Liuyun shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "Whatever."
Just at this time.
There was a knock on the room door.
Ye Liuyun and Xu Canghai looked at each other, both of them were a little surprised.
"Come in." Xu Canghai said.
At this time, the door of the room opened, and the rich shopkeeper stood at the door with a man in armor.
"Daozhang Xu, this is the military commander of the Huben Guards. He has something to do with you," the shopkeeper said.
Xu Canghai nodded, looked at the armored sergeant, and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
The armored sergeant said: "Daozhang Xu, Yuan Huan and his party are going to the Tianxing Monument to test their qualifications. Your Majesty means that you will also go together."
"Um?"
Xu Canghai was a little surprised, then nodded and said: "I understand, you can go back and recover, I will go."
"yes."
The armored sergeant cupped his fists and bowed before leaving.
The shopkeeper also nodded and bowed, closing the door with a smile.
Ye Liuyun was a little surprised and asked: "Where is this "Tianxing Monument" that can actually test qualifications?"
Xu Canghai stood up, stretched, and said: "Nothing, just a big stone. If it glows when touched, it means your qualifications can reach the third level."
"So simple?" Ye Liuyun was a little confused.
Xu Canghai said: "It's as simple as that. Your Majesty asked me to go there because he probably didn't want Yuan Huan to be in the spotlight, so he asked me to go over and suppress him."
Ye Liuyun asked curiously: "How was your score when you took the test?"
Xu Canghai narrowed his eyes, "You'll know later. By the way, do you want to go together?"
Ye Liuyun did not refuse, "Of course."
He really wanted to know what his qualifications were.
"Then let's go." Xu Canghai said.
…
Star Monument.
The Star Monument is located in the west of the imperial capital, standing like a ruler hundreds of feet tall.
At this time, the area around the Star Monument was already crowded with people, all preparing to see how Yuan Huan and others had done.
When Ye Liuyun and Xu Canghai came here, they could only stay at the outermost perimeter. Fortunately, after everyone discovered Xu Canghai, they immediately made way for him.
After all, Xu Canghai is fifth on the list of geniuses, and he is here to support the younger generation of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Ye Liuyun also benefited from this and came to the front of the Tianxing Monument.
At this time, Xue Hou, Chen Nuannuan, and Shang Qingyu had all arrived. Apparently, they were also here to arm-wrestle with Yuan Huan, Lin Heiyu, Jiang Zhenyue, Gu Qianjun, Xia Houzong and others.
When Ye Liuyun looked at everyone, everyone also looked over.
Of course, I was looking at Xu Canghai.
Now that Xu Canghai has arrived, basically the most important role has arrived.
At this time, Xu Canghai said to Ye Liuyun: "The person standing next to Chen Nuannuan is Zhuge Tao."
Ye Liuyun saw this and looked at Zhuge Tao. This guy was young and thin, with prominent cheekbones. He looked impressive.
"Zhuge Tao is twenty-two years old. His cultivation has reached the peak of the fifth level. He once fought against the fourth level." Xu Canghai said, "It is said that he has a magical power, but which one it is is unknown."
Ye Liuyun was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that all magical powers were out of date?
But when I think about the people here, every one of them is a rare hero in the world, I feel relieved.
At this time, Yuan Huan said: "I have long heard that Daxia has a Star Monument specially designed to test qualifications. I even heard that those who light up the nine stars have the possibility of becoming emperor. It is really fascinating to be able to come here today.
This test is a real honor.”
Everyone present just listened to it, it was just a cliché.
Ye Liuyun asked Xu Canghai with some curiosity: "What is the lighted nine stars?"
Xu Canghai faced the curious baby Ye Liuyun, but he had no interest in explaining, "Just watch. As for lighting up the nine stars, just listen. In the past hundreds of years, the Great Xia Dynasty has only lit up a dozen or so nine stars. With you,
It’s irrelevant.”
Ye Liuyun pursed his lips.
But I also know that this kind of situation is really not suitable for running away and whispering.
At this time, Chen Nuannuan said: "Stop talking nonsense, don't you just want to see who has better qualifications? Just test it directly."
Chen Nuannuan's words made many practitioners in the Daxia Dynasty feel embarrassed.
Although Yuan Huan's motives are impure, we can't just break up with him.
Yuan Huan had no reaction when his thoughts were revealed. He just smiled and said: "Chen Guoshi's daughter is really humorous, but it would be better if we just go directly. I believe everyone is impatient to wait."
After the words fell, Yuan Huan winked at Gu Qianjun.
At this time, Gu Qianjun, the seventh one on the list of geniuses, stepped forward.
This scene made everyone present hold their breath.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Qianjun's hand touched the "Star Stele", and in the blink of an eye, the entire Star Stele lit up.
"How are you doing? Are your grades good?" Ye Liuyun asked Xu Canghai.
Xu Canghai was a little helpless, but if he didn't answer, Ye Liuyun would definitely keep asking.
"When the Star Monument lights up, it means that you can cultivate to at least the third level."
Ye Liuyun suddenly realized, "It's nothing special?"
Xu Canghai was even more speechless. You must know that there are very few people in the world who can cultivate to level four or above. Compared with the huge population base, they are almost negligible.
It is already very good to have a third-grade posture.
At this time, Gu Qianjun couldn't believe that he was only in the third rank.
Yuan Huan's face also looked a little ugly. He didn't expect that this guy Gu Qianjun would actually lose his temper.
"Exactly." Chen Nuannuan said: "You are just a third-grade person, but you still have the nerve to show your face?"
Gu Qianjun returned to Yuan Huan dejectedly.
At this time, Chen Nuannuan said: "Shang Qingyu, come on!"
Shang Qingyu, a member of the Dongchang Qian family, with a feminine appearance, followed Chen Nuannuan's instructions and approached the Tianxing Monument.
Touching the Star Monument, a burst of light suddenly lit up, and then the light turned orange.
This orange light lasted for a while and then disappeared.
Shang Qingyu's face was expressionless, obviously he had already tested it.
"White light is the third grade, orange light is the second grade, and golden light is the first grade," Xu Canghai said before Ye Liuyun asked.
Ye Liuyun nodded, "That's it."
At this time, Yuan Huan looked calm and said: "Xiahou Zong, go up and try."
Originally, Gu Qianjun was ranked seventh on the list of geniuses to get off to a good start, but Gu Qianjun fell off the list and made Yuan Huan look bad.
"Yes." Xiahou Zong is the tenth on the list of geniuses.
Touch the Star Monument and it will light up with orange light in an instant.
"Second grade."
Ye Liuyun said in a low voice.
Everyone present said that it was reasonable. After all, to be on the list of geniuses, one must practice to the second level at least. On the contrary, Gu Qianjun was a little weird, he was only at the third level.
Chen Nuannuan's voice sounded loudly: "Xu Canghai, come on."
Xu Canghai, who was beside Ye Liuyun, walked out and touched the Star Stele.
Immediately afterwards, the white light lit up and quickly turned into orange light. Then the orange light changed color and finally turned into golden light!
"A first-class appearance?" Ye Liuyun whispered.
Everyone present's eyes lit up.
Xu Canghai returned to Ye Liuyun with a smile.
Ye Liuyun was not surprised, "You can be accepted as a disciple by a saint on the list of heavenly kings. Your qualifications are definitely not low."
Xu Canghai laughed and scolded: "You are the only one who is smart."
At this time, Yuan Huan continued: "Jiang Zhenyue."
Jiang Zhenyue, who is fourth on the list of geniuses, stepped forward and took a test, and found that he was a first-class figure!
Xue Hou, who was beside Chen Nuannuan, also stepped forward and touched it.
Ye Liuyun was a little surprised, "Master Xue is actually a first-class figure?"
Xu Canghai looked at Ye Liuyun strangely and said: "He is also second on the list of geniuses, why can't he be of the first rank?"
Ye Liuyun shook his head and said nothing.
Xu Canghai explained: "Actually, this is just the affinity of the physique to the spiritual energy. It does not mean that if you measure the posture of a first-class person, you will definitely become a first-class one."
Ye Liuyun nodded and said: "Of course I know, there are not many good seedlings that grow crookedly? If they are young, they may not be good if they are big!"
"Huh?" Xu Canghai was stunned when he heard this, "This is quite interesting."
Soon, from the Beiyuan Wasteland, Lin Heiyu, who was third on the list of geniuses, also stepped forward.
I touched it and found it to be a first-class product.
Ye Liuyun opened his mouth: "It's boring."
Xu Canghai rolled his eyes: "That's for you. For others, if you can find a first-class appearance, you will be so happy that you can't sleep all night."
Ye Liuyun looked at Xu Canghai with a smile in his eyes, "So you couldn't sleep at that time..."
Xu Canghai was not embarrassed at all.
Soon, Chen Nuannuan stepped forward.
Touch it on the Star Monument.
The next moment, the golden light lit up, showing the appearance of a first-class person.
But looking at this scene, Chen Nuannuan was a little dissatisfied and unhappy.
Ye Liuyun said with some doubts: "Isn't the first-grade appearance bad?"
Xu Canghai said: "Everyone's standards are different. Chen Nuannuan may want to light up the nine stars."
Ye Liuyun said: "What does it mean to light up the nine stars?"
"Just light up the nine stars." Xu Canghai said matter-of-factly.
Ye Liuyun frowned, and then looked at Xu Canghai's appearance, and couldn't help but said with some suspicion: "You haven't seen it before, right?"
Xu Canghai cut his eyes and said to Ye Liuyun: "Of course I have never seen it. There have only been a dozen or so of these lighting nine stars in hundreds of years, and they are all on the list of kings. How old am I?"
Ye Liuyun suddenly realized, "Can I get on the Heavenly King List by lighting up the nine stars?"
"You can become emperor." Xu Canghai rolled his eyes at Ye Liuyun, "Didn't Yuan Huan just say that?"
Just at this time.
Yuan Huan smiled, walked forward, and then touched the "Star Monument".
The next moment, the white light turns on, the orange light turns on, and the golden light turns on.
What is unexpected is that the golden light shining is not the final result. The golden light becomes more and more brilliant, and finally interweaves and reflects a star in the sky.
This star shines so brightly.
The whole place was silent.
Ye Liuyun said in disbelief: "Is this the lighting of nine stars?"
Xu Canghai rolled his eyes and Ye Liuyun said, "Don't you know how to count? Isn't this a star?"
Ye Liuyun said: "In other words, above the golden light, there are one star, two stars, three stars, four stars..."
"So, Yipinzhi is so cheap." Ye Liuyun said speechlessly.
Xu Canghai clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "When there is no one around, I must let you touch me. I think you are at least a third-level white light."
Ye Liuyun said: "That's not necessarily the case."
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on the star in the sky.
Everyone present looked at Yuan Huan with envy.
This guy's qualifications are really terrifying!
Chen Nuannuan was also a little envious, then looked at Zhuge Tao and said, "You go."
Zhuge Tao's face turned pale.
He walked forward with frivolous steps.
After touching the Star Monument, white light, orange light, and golden light followed, and finally it settled on the golden light.
Golden light, first-class appearance.
Generally speaking, this result is already very good.
However, Yuan Huan's achievement is to light up one star, which is slightly better than the first-grade golden light!
Zhuge Tao walked back to Chen Nuannuan with his head lowered.
This time, their Great Xia Dynasty was suppressed by the Northern Wilderness Kingdom.
Xu Canghai sighed: "It's embarrassing."
"I'll do it."
This is what Ye Liuyun next to Xu Canghai shouted loudly, and then walked forward.
Xu Canghai was unexpected.
Everyone present was shocked when they saw Ye Liuyun popping up out of nowhere.
Chen Nuannuan scolded: "Ye Liuyun, step back!"
Ye Liuyun turned a deaf ear and walked to the Tianxing Monument and touched it.
