Everyone's cultivation level has reached a higher level.
This made Jiang Nan very happy.
When Shenting recruits disciples, it not only tests their qualifications, but also tests their combat effectiveness.
Qualifications are just a way to get started, what really needs to be tested is combat effectiveness.
The competition is conducted under almost absolutely fair conditions, and the winner receives higher treatment.
This is also a process for the senior leaders of Shenting to conduct initial screening of disciples.
What kind of people are trained will ultimately depend on their final performance.
Otherwise, no matter how high the qualifications are, if the combat effectiveness is completely poor, it is not worth special training.
Cultivation is all-round, not one-sided.
Everyone left the Black God Palace and went to the Shenting Registration Office to receive their number plates.
There are many people on the street from all over the world.
The outer disciples and inner disciples of Shenting were also constantly walking through it, busy non-stop.
Every time you recruit a disciple, it is a big event for Shenting.
In the golden hall, the crowd was dense.
Jiang Nan and others lined up to receive their own race number plates.
The competition does not differentiate between men and women, the competition is unified and very fair.
Jiang Nan received the number 12665, followed by Lou Xianghan, Liu Ruyue, Yongan, and Yunmeng, numbers 12666, 12667, 12668, and 12669 respectively.
Bai Jiao, Hu Meiniang, Li Lu, and Jin Ge are 12670, 12671, 12672, and 12673 respectively.
As for Hua Wujin, Hua Mengyao, Luo Qingxian, and Heilong, they are 585, 586, 587, and 588 respectively because they are in the Death Mysterious Realm.
Each of the thirteen people has a number plate.
Due to the restrictions on age and potential, the number of people who sign up for the Death Mysterious Realm is much smaller than that for the Life Mysterious Realm.
Everyone in the Death Mysterious Realm is a master, but if you want to join the Divine Court, you also need to participate in competitions.
But it's just a formality, as long as those who get the number plate and don't commit any evil deeds during the competition will basically be admitted as inner disciples.
Of course, although everyone knows that this is just a formality, no one will pay half-hearted attention to this formality.
Because the quality of your ranking is directly related to your status in the Divine Court and your cultivation resources.
The higher the ranking, the more cultivation resources you will naturally have.
If you can gain the favor of the elder of the Divine Court, it will be enough for you to soar into the sky, and you will not have to worry about resources in the future.
It is difficult to say whether the final number of applicants for the Death Mysterious Realm will reach 2,000.
On the other hand, there are too many applicants for Shengxuan Realm.
According to the data collected this time, it is estimated that there will eventually be more than 30,000 people.
Jiang Nan and others took their number plates and began to wait for the competition three days later.
The venue for the competition is in the small world of Shenting.
This small world has its own name, called "Wind and Cloud".
Three days came in the blink of an eye.
Everyone went to Fengyun Small World.
There are nine special teleportation entrances in total, and each entrance can teleport thousands of people at a time.
In this way, it actually took ten times to complete the transmission.
The first four times teleported to the disciples of the competition, and the next six teleported to the audience.
It would cost a lot of money to be able to enter the small world and watch the game at close range and in all directions.
Prices vary greatly depending on the seat, distance and comprehensive box.
On average, each viewer spends at least three thousand high-grade divine crystals.
The number of spectators can reach 70,000 when the venue is full.
This fee alone brought a considerable amount of income to Shenting.
In addition to this, there are also various daily expenses in Suzaku City, which are the income of Shenting.
And the biggest income is gambling.
The bets are countless, with more than 40,000 people participating.
Although not everyone will be betted, everyone has been marked as a bet by the Divine Court.
In other words, you can bet on anyone you want.
Not only can you bet on a single win or loss, but you can also bet on how many moves you stick to, bet on the specific ranking, bet on the approximate ranking, and even bet on combinations, various betting methods, and many varieties.
As long as you have money, you can gamble however you want.
Of course, the biggest winner in the end is Shenting.
The small world cannot allow too many people to enter, so most people can only watch the live broadcast in Suzaku City.
It was a picture composed of huge projections.
However, except for the host's words at the beginning, which can be heard by everyone, there are basically only dynamic images and no sound.
The live broadcast is free for everyone to watch.
In fact, it is used to facilitate people from the outside to place bets.
Those who entered Fengyun’s small world to watch the scene were all big clients and wealthy people.
And more people are not that rich, so what should we do?
It's only free to watch outside, and you can also gamble a little.
Buy dozens of divine crystals, buy a hundred divine crystals, buy hundreds of divine crystals, buy thousands of divine crystals.
Buy as you like, everyone participates.
Don’t underestimate the fact that people who buy outside spend less money, but the number of people in Zhuque City is particularly large.
A total of eight million people.
Eight million people, if each person buys an average of 100 yuan, that is 800 million divine crystals.
You must know that when gambling, the price is basically based on the upper-grade divine crystals.
In short, Shenting makes a lot of money every time it recruits disciples.
This is not recruiting disciples, this is a grand event.
A huge event that can not only make money, gain popularity, but also earn many outstanding disciples.
Jiang Nan also admired this very much.
I don’t know whose idea it was, but he is so good at business.
Everyone, including the disciples in the Death Mysterious Realm, entered a square.
It is surrounded by stands, layer upon layer, and behind it are boxes.
Whether it is a square or a private room, they look ordinary on the surface and not too big.
But in fact, there is a universe within it, which forms the world of its own.
There were 70,000 people all around, but it wasn't crowded at all.
In fact, if you want to make more money, you can build more boxes.
But Shenting did not do this.
There are 70,000 people, not one more person is allowed.
This leads to the fact that getting a ticket is definitely lucky and a symbol of status.
Moreover, the 70,000 tickets will be sold out early, and the prices are skyrocketing.
And Huang Niu is actually one of Shenting's own people.
Anyway, no matter how you play, it’s all your own.
At this time, more than 40,000 disciples entered the square and lined up in an orderly manner. No one was allowed to be next to anyone, and there was a foot distance between them.
The host's voice rang in the square: "Now for the first test, the soul test. If you don't fall down within the time of burning an incense stick, you will pass and enter the next round of tests."
"Okay, start now!"
The words just fell.
Endless pressure was suppressed, and this pressure was aimed at the soul. Everyone felt as if a big mountain was suppressing the soul, and this mountain was getting heavier and heavier.
Jiang Nan was almost completely indifferent to this.
There was indeed pressure, but this pressure had no effect on him at all.
Lou Xianghan, Yong'an and others were also very relaxed.
Frequent dual cultivation, coupled with the fact that they have been given some soul fruits over the years, have resulted in their souls being much stronger than those of people at the same level of cultivation.
Hu Meiniang herself has great achievements in illusions, and her soul is naturally stronger than people of the same level. Naturally, she is not afraid of these pressures.
Even if it was Li Lu, Bai Jiao could handle it easily.
The two of them were even looking around.
As for Hua Mengyao, Hua Wujin, Luo Qingxian and Heilong, I have no feeling at all.
Not only are they cultivating in the Death Mysterious Realm, but Hua Mengyao and the other three have immortal bodies and are not afraid of the pressure of divine souls at all.
However, not everyone is as relaxed as Jiang Nan and others.
As soon as a cup of tea arrived, some people began to collapse.
Afterwards, more and more people fell.
Many of those who didn't fall were holding on with blushing faces.
Crackling... From time to time, contestants fell down. After falling down, their faces looked very ugly and annoyed.
Because everyone who falls is out.
If you cannot get up after falling down for more than three seconds, you will be automatically teleported away.
White lights flashed and all the fallen people disappeared.
If they want to join the Divine Court, they have to start as a handyman. After earning enough points, they will have the opportunity to participate in the assessment and become an outer disciple.
Shenting makes money by holding competitions, but it is still very strict in accepting disciples.
In the blink of an eye, the time of a stick of incense passed.
The pressure that filled the sky suddenly disappeared, and everyone felt their spirits lighten up.
Some people staggered around because they suddenly couldn't adapt.
At this time, you can clearly see who has a strong soul.
If he stood motionless and his face didn't change, his soul must be strong.
The facial expressions of these people were captured by different people and recorded in the files.
It is not only for the subsequent selection of disciples, but also for the purpose of placing bets and re-determining the odds.
"Okay, the next step is to test the physical body. It still only lasts for a stick of incense. Those who can stand will pass and those who fall will be eliminated. Start now!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, endless pressure suddenly came.
Everyone felt like a big mountain was weighing on them.
This kind of pressure is very unfriendly to women.
But the reality is so cruel.
In the face of strength, all men and women are equal, regardless of race.
As time goes by, the pressure increases.
Under such huge pressure, people kept falling down. After falling, they were directly teleported away by the white light.
The physical strength of Lou Xianghan and others was revealed at this time.
Among all women, except Li Lu, whose physical body is the weakest, the rest are extremely strong.
Li Lu's physical body is weaker only than Liu Ruyue and the others. After all, she is not Jiang Nan's woman, and she has not cultivated with Jiang Nan.
But Jiang Nan had swallowed a lot of Qi and Blood Fruits for her, which made her physically very strong.
The four girls, Lou Xianghan, Liu Ruyue, Yongan, and Yunmeng, were incredibly strong physically. It was not until this moment that they discovered that the physical bodies of many people here... were really weak.
Bai Jiao, Hu Meiniang, Golden Dragon, and Black Dragon are all divine beasts. Their physical bodies are already very strong. In addition, they have devoured Jiang Nan's Qi and Blood Fruit and were even given essence and blood by Jiang Nan. Their physical bodies are also incredibly powerful.
As for Hua Mengyao, Hua Wujin and Luo Qingxian, they felt no pressure at all.
Their immortality is too powerful.
As for Jiang Nan, she didn't feel anything at all.
The time for burning incense has come, and everyone once again passed it with calm expressions.
But when the time for burning incense comes and the pressure suddenly disappears, many people will still have their blood and energy rising.
The participating disciples who performed well in this competition continued to be recorded.
Jiang Nan and others were naturally among them.
"Okay, two simple tests have passed, and there are still 31,015 people left. Now we have the third test, which is also the last test in the first stage. Those who succeed in the test will become outer disciples and participate in the competition at the same time. The ranking of the competition
It will determine the resources you will receive in the future and the rewards brought by your ranking."
The host's voice continued to sound.
"The third test is a comprehension test. It still lasts for one stick of incense. During this time of burning incense, the fog of illusion will surround you. It will take one stick of incense to escape the fog of illusion and you will be considered passed.
"
"Start now!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, endless fog descended, covering 31,105 people.
Jiang Nan felt a flower bloom before his eyes, and a stone tablet appeared.
There is only one knife mark on the stone tablet.
Obviously, one needs to understand a sword technique from this knife mark.
Jiang Nan's spirit penetrated in, and he saw only a flash of sword light in front of his eyes, covering all directions, and then disappeared.
Jiang Nan smiled slightly.
It's just an initial sword realm.
He has now entered the middle stage of the sword realm, and the elementary sword realm is no different to him than the basic sword skills.
With a wave of his hand, the sword light filled the air, and the fog dissipated in an instant.
Hundreds of people appeared with him at the same time.
Everyone shows up at the same time, basically in no particular order.
Almost the moment they were shrouded in fog, these people realized it, and then everyone came out.
On Jiang Nan's side, except for Black Dragon who was a little slower, everyone else understood it in an instant and emerged out of the fog.
These hundreds of people were immediately written down.
Then people appeared one after another.
A stick of incense has passed.
What surprised Jiang Nan was that this time more than 25,000 people did not realize it.
In the end, only less than 6,000 people passed the examination.
"Very good! Congratulations to all 5868 of you for becoming the outer disciples of the Divine Court!"
The host's voice sounded.
"Next, what we have to do is the first official competition, which is about speed."
As he spoke, the ground shook in the square, and with a flash of light, a huge mountain appeared in front of everyone, towering into the clouds, with a total of forty-eight steps all around extending to the top of the mountain.
No one knows how many steps there are.
"In this game, all of your cultivation levels will be sealed, and you can only use the power of your physical body.
The rules are simple, whoever steps onto the top of the mountain first will be the first. The only requirement is that no one kills anyone."
Jiang Nan's eyes moved.
You can only use your physical strength... and such a good thing?
Lou Xianghan, Liu Ruyue, Yong'an, Li Lu, Bai Jiao, and Hu Meiniang were all confident, but Yunmeng frowned slightly.
It's not that her body is not strong, it's that she doesn't exercise much at all...except for taking the initiative to exercise when she and brother Jiang Nan are practicing dual cultivation. At other times, she can lie down and never sit, and she can never run if she can sit.
She is the most reluctant of all people to exercise.
Of course, this does not mean that her speed is very slow, it is just that she is not as good as her older sisters.
As for the Black Dragon, Jin Ge had an indifferent look on his face, clearly indicating that they believed that with their strong physical strength, they would definitely surpass more masters.
Hua Mengyao, Hua Wujin and Luo Qingxian looked indifferent.
