The crowd that was originally full of dissatisfied voices suddenly fell silent.
Everyone finally passed the examination and became disciples of Sixiangyuan, but once they quit, it meant losing this status.
This is naturally difficult for everyone to accept.
Therefore, no one dares to express dissatisfaction anymore.
Seeing this scene, Elder Qi seemed to have expected it. He smiled lightly and said, "This year, you will work under me, and I will have the responsibility of supervising you."
"If anyone disobeys discipline, I have the absolute right to expel you from the hospital. I hope you can remember this."
After saying that, he looked in one direction and said, "Come here."
As he finished speaking, a group of people suddenly came to a mountain col not far away.
Elder Qi pointed at this group of people and said: "They are all new disciples from the previous year, and they have all stayed at Yishan for a full year."
"In Yishan, every new disciple has his or her own duties."
"Next, they will take you to familiarize yourself with the work that you have to complete during your time in Yishan."
Task?
After hearing this, all the new disciples were extremely confused.
At this time, Elder Qi said to the previous disciples: "After you have handed over the tasks, this year's life in the mountains is completely over, and you can go to the courtyard to practice."
"Wow! Is this... is this true?"
"Hahaha, great, I've been suffering in Yishan for a year, and now I'm finally free!"
I just heard Elder Qi’s words.
Those Yishan disciples from the previous term all burst into cheers, and everyone felt relieved.
The freshmen watching this scene were confused.
Although Yongshan is a little barren, you have only lived here for a year. Now that you are leaving, there is no need to be so happy, right?
But at this time, no one had to wait for more guesses.
A senior brother couldn't wait to walk out of the crowd and said: "This senior brother was the first in the entrance examination last year, Zhao Han."
"Which of you is the first in this assessment?"
Hearing this, Lin Che walked out of the crowd and said, "I am Lin Che, you are ranked first in this assessment, senior brother, you are polite."
"Well, come with me."
The man named Zhao Han looked Lin Che up and down, gave such instructions, and then walked in a certain direction.
Seeing this, although Lin Che was confused, she didn't say anything more and followed him.
After the two left.
There were several more sounds in that area.
"Who is the second placer in this assessment? Come with me..."
"Third place in this assessment..."
…
Lin Che followed the senior brother named Zhao Han all the way through the mountains.
This road is really not that close.
It wasn't until nearly an hour later that the other party stopped.
"arrive."
At this time, Lin Che looked up and saw a forest in front of her.
"Senior Brother Zhao, where is this?" Lin Che asked curiously after seeing the scene in front of her.
"Hehe, this is the Star Forest, and it should be the place you are most familiar with in the next year..."
Zhao Han smiled meaningfully and said.
"What does this sentence mean, senior brother?" Lin Che was a little confused.
In response to this, Zhao Han directly replied: "Junior brother, to tell you the truth, every new student who enters Sixiangyuan every year must spend one year training in this battle mountain."
"During this period, the tasks to be completed every day are actually no different from slavery. Therefore, this place is called Yongshan."
"Junior brother, your mission is to cut down trees in this forest every day. You must cut down fifty ancient star trees in one day. Otherwise, you will receive a certain degree of punishment."
"Uh... logging?" Hearing this, Lin Che's expression looked very surprised.
Before this, he would never have thought that the so-called tasks of the new disciples in the service mountain were to do such menial work.
Seeing Lin Che's look of disbelief, Zhao Han explained: "Junior brother, this is not a deliberate attempt to trick you. In fact, senior brother, I have been cutting down trees here for a year, and this rule is completely set by the higher-ups in the hospital.
,The purpose is to temper the character of the new disciples..."
"But you can rest assured that when the new students arrive next year, your training for this year will be completed, and then you can truly enter the academy to practice."
"Damn, what kind of tempering is this?" Lin Che secretly cursed in her heart.
But at this time, Lin Che curiously asked: "Then... was the task of each of the new disciples just now to chop down trees here?"
"of course not……"
Zhao Han shook his head and said: "Junior brother, you and I, as the first placers in the two entrance examinations, are eligible to cut trees here. As for the other new disciples, they will have different jobs based on their rankings in the entrance examination..."
"Senior brother, I'm not bragging. Apart from people with excellent grades like us, how can anyone else be qualified for this task of logging?"
When Zhao Han said this, there was a faint look of contentment on his face.
"Well……"
Lin Che saw this and felt speechless for a while.
It's just cutting down trees here. From what I heard in the other party's tone, it seemed like it was such a sacred and honorable job.
It seems that this guy has been poisoned quite a lot this year!
Of course, after hearing that every new disciple has to work in this mountain.
Although Lin Che felt helpless, she could only temporarily accept this reality.
"But fortunately, it's just cutting down fifty trees in one day, so it's not too difficult..."
With Lin Che's cultivation level, a single palm strike could destroy a giant tree that required five or six people to hug it.
Therefore, this task can be easily completed in half an hour at most, and the remaining time is not at his discretion.
However, after hearing Lin Che's words, Zhao Han smiled and shook his head, "Junior Brother Lin, you must not underestimate the difficulty of this task."
"In fact, the reason why this place is called the Star Forest is because the trees growing here are called star trees. Their toughness is comparable to gold and stone. All important buildings in the Sixiang Courtyard are made of this wood.
Even if it doesn’t need to be covered by formations, it can still stand for thousands of years..."
"Therefore, for low-level Xuanwu warriors, it is very difficult to chop down one star tree, let alone fifty... That's why I said before that only those who top the previous entry examinations can have the ability.
Qualified for this job.”
"There is such a thing..."
Hearing this, Lin Che's expression moved slightly, and then she walked towards a star tree.
Then, he picked up his hand and punched forward.
"boom!"
A dull sound came out, and then the entire body of the giant tree was seen shaking violently.
However, after a violent shaking, the ancient tree unexpectedly regained its composure.
It only left a moderately deep fist mark in the direction where Lin Che had just struck.
In this punch, Lin Che used 50% of her strength, which was enough to blast even a huge boulder into smithereens.
It can be seen that the toughness of this star wood is indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
In this regard, Lin Che did not hesitate and tried again.
This time, he did not choose to use his bare hands, but summoned a spiritual sword. The moment Lin Che held the spiritual sword in his palm, his whole aura seemed to have an inexplicable change.
laugh!
The next moment, Lin Che made a volley and slashing movement, and saw a light and shadow floating in the air in an instant.
The sword light instantly disappeared into the trunk of a star tree.
With a loud "Peng" sound, this time the thick tree body of the Star Wood was broken directly in the middle and hit the ground heavily. The cut was as flat as a mirror.
“Hiss~~~”
Seeing this scene in front of him, Zhao Han, who was next to Lin Che, suddenly widened his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Junior brother Lin, what state are you, you, you...?"
Seeing this, Lin Che said casually: "The third level of Xuanwu."
"What, the third level of Xuanwu, this... this is impossible!!" Zhao Han's face was full of surprise.
When Zhao Han first entered Yishan, he was at the third level of Xuanwu, and his best weapon was the giant axe.
But even so, it was extremely difficult for him to cut down a star tree at that time.
In the first month, he could only cut down about twenty star trees a day, so he was punished a lot.
However, now, he saw Lin Che cut off a star tree with one sword stroke, which made him doubt his life.
"Junior brother Lin, if you have such strength, your life in the mountain will be much easier in the future, and you will no longer have to worry about being punished for failing to complete the task..."
After a long time, Zhao Han calmed down from the shock.
But the way he looked at Lin Che was still like looking at a monster.
"Then thank you for your kind words from Senior Brother Zhao..." Lin Che smiled and said casually.
But after saying this, Lin Che looked into the depths of the star forest.
But he thought secretly in his heart: "You want me to cut down trees here, and it will take a year, but I don't have the time. It seems I have to find a way to get out of the misery of Yishan..."
