"Junior brothers and sisters, good morning, everyone. My name is Liu Yuan, and I am the future senior brother of many of you!"
The few gray-clothed disciples at the registration desk were the first to greet everyone in the valley, with smiles on their faces that looked quite sunny.
However, their actions received no response, or in other words, they received a cold stare, which felt like ogling to a blind man.
"Haha, don't be like this. Relax. It's just an entrance exam, nothing serious."
The more relaxed Liu Yuan spoke, the more nervous everyone present became.
In a new place, where you are unfamiliar with your life, you are always on the highest alert, because no one knows what Wan Jian Zong is holding back.
Suddenly, many people's pupils shrank because they discovered that at some point, an old man in blue appeared next to these disciples in gray.
Except for the chattering Liu Yuan, everyone else had stiff expressions and subconsciously left quietly.
Perhaps feeling something different in the surrounding atmosphere, he slowly turned his head and found a person staring at him expressionlessly.
"It's Elder Sun. Please invite me. I've already warmed up the place for you. I believe these guys will understand what you mean immediately."
My heart skipped a beat, and with a sly smile on my face, I raised my steps and retreated quietly.
"Crack!"
With a wave of Elder Sun's hand, Liu Yuan rose up from the ground and quickly flew out of everyone's sight.
Soon, a scream came from a distance, causing everyone present to shrink their necks.
"I am Sun Yuxian, an ordinary elder of Wanjian Sect. I will preside over this entrance examination. I hope everyone will actively cooperate."
After briefly introducing himself, he immediately instructed a disciple in gray to start explaining the rules.
Even though they are talking at the mouth of the valley, their voices can be clearly heard deep in the valley.
Speaking of this entrance examination, it is actually quite simple. There is only one level, or it can be said to be two levels.
The rule is that everyone will have a sword skill in their token, and they have three days to master it, at least to a small degree.
During these three days, after successfully comprehending the small success, you will be automatically transported to a strange place, where you will have to survive for seven days.
Where is that strange place? How to survive for seven days? What are the rules? None of them are explained.
If you can't even comprehend the swordsmanship, then everything that follows will be in vain, and it also means elimination.
But there is good news, that is, no fighting is allowed during these three days, and violators will be severely punished. Of course, there is no problem with ordinary sparring.
"There has never been a shortage of geniuses in this world. Don't think it's unfair. Great wisdom can make up for stupidity, and hard work can make up for weakness. Those are all excuses. I only look at the results, not the process. Now everyone, hurry up."
After Elder Sun finished speaking, he tapped his toes and quickly disappeared.
"Everyone, let's start. Drop the blood on the token and you will know how to do it."
Turning over with his left hand, a token appeared in his hand, which was exactly the one he was issued before entering the valley.
In this valley, Wang Xuan discovered a problem, that is, storage bags seemed to be a very common thing.
In this regard, he had nothing to hide, so he directly used the storage bag.
As for the storage ring, he chose to hide it. After all, he had never seen it even in Qian Siming's hand.
As told, drop some blood onto the token, and then observe it quietly.
A fluctuation soon appeared in his mind, and as time passed, he figured out what sword technique the token passed to him.
Deadwood Sword Technique, mid-grade Xuan level, is one level higher than all the sword techniques he has learned so far.
Although the sword-drawing technique is at the Xuan level, it is only of the lower level.
However, it is a bit special, and it mainly depends on the attainments of the person using it in swordsmanship.
If the understanding is deep, the power will be great, otherwise it will just be a showpiece.
However, Deadwood Swordsmanship is a solid mid-level skill, and there is no room for sloppiness.
The word "ku" originally means loss of moisture. When it is combined with wood, it means dry, withered, burned, sun-dried, dead and withered, etc.
After acquiring this sword technique, Wang Xuan discovered how difficult it was to comprehend.
The Nian Hua Sword Technique, Flowing Water Sword Technique, etc. that I learned before just need to be read from the book, and there is no need to understand it like this.
Later, Gu Yue's swordsmanship and sword-drawing skills had some meaning that could only be understood but could not be expressed in words.
There are thousands of people with different faces, and perhaps each person may understand the Deadwood Sword Technique differently.
At this moment, he noticed that the life soul lamp guarding the sea of consciousness seemed to be trembling.
With a flash of inspiration, he grabbed the little tiger out of his backpack, put it next to him, and signaled it to protect him.
A warm current actually flowed out from the Life Soul Lamp, making Wang Xuan's mind clear in an instant.
It turned out that it was about the method of understanding the Dead Wood Sword Technique. I closed my eyes and rested my mind. In an instant, my understanding of the Dead Wood Sword Technique was rapidly improving.
On the top of the mountain, there were several old men standing against the wind.
Everything in the valley becomes very small when viewed from the top of the mountain.
But these old men seem to have extraordinary eyesight, and everyone's performance is like seeing patterns in the palm of their hands.
"It's kind of interesting. Look at that kid, he seems to be understanding it. Not bad."
"What's the matter? Did you see the girl in the blue skirt? She's already playing well. She deserves to be from that family."
"Well, Elder Ning, I see you haven't spoken. Why, you don't have anyone you like?"
If Wang Xuan were here, he would recognize that the so-called Elder Ning was none other than Ning Yiyi, whom he had met before.
At this time, in addition to Elder Sun Yuxian, the other three people also turned their attention to Elder Ning.
"Haha, all the major families in Wanjian City, and even some people in the sect, have suppressed their disciples or descendants. This time, it is a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. Who can I be optimistic about?"
"Hehe...hehe, well, right? Who calls this time special?"
"Yes, after all, they are very malleable now. If they wait to break through to the spiritual transformation realm, it will be troublesome."
Perhaps, except for Ning Yiyi, everyone else has good people in it.
No, Ning Yiyi is actually no exception, because intentionally or unintentionally, he has paid some attention to Wang Xuan.
Although he remained calm on the surface, he was still worried about Wang Xuan in his heart. If he could stand out this time, he would definitely get a huge boost of resources from the sect.
If you take one step first, you will take the lead step by step. Only in this way can you leave others behind.
Wang Xuan didn't know anything about the mountain.
He understood the cheating of the Life Soul Lamp very quickly. If you really want to count, he can already be considered a beginner.
At this moment, the sound of a sharp sword cutting through the sky suddenly sounded, interrupting his practice.
