The next day, the Sword Sect ushered in a new year of trials in the Heart and Soul Tower.
Countless disciples are eagerly looking forward to performing well in the Heart and Soul Tower, which is an important selection event.
If you perform well, you can get rewards, improve your status, and even gain the favor of elders.
There is a huge stone tablet outside the tower, on which are engraved the best achievements of the disciples of all generations.
The highest one above is the name of Lin Jichen, the former disciple and now the leader.
It only took Lin Jichen a few years to achieve such an achievement, making him an idol worshiped by all the disciples of the Sword Sect.
If Lin Jichen only took this position because of his connections, many disciples might be dissatisfied.
But Lin Jichen relied entirely on his own strength to cross the level of the God Transformation Stage to single-handedly kill the Enlightenment Stage, and cross the Enlightenment Stage to single-handedly kill the Feathering Stage.
Nowadays, several people in the Ascension Realm have died in his hands, and one outstanding record can be checked, the Tongtian Dynasty.
Moreover, in order to avenge his senior brother, Lin Jichen could risk the disapproval of the entire sect and risk the disapproval of the world to kill the young master of the Jixiao Sword Sect, even their ancestors.
Of course the younger brothers will be loyal to the elder brother who protects his own people in this way.
He has clear grievances, strong strength, protects his brothers, and is decisive in killing.
These points alone are too satisfying for the disciples, and even a large number of disciples within the sect have become Lin Jichen's die-hard fans.
At this time, an elder from the outer palace stood up and announced: "Before this trial is about to begin, the leader has personally arrived. I hope you will perform well and show your best strength. The leader has said that the rewards for this year's Heart and Soul Tower trial will be doubled.
Twice! Those who are capable will receive twice as many rewards and benefits as in previous years!"
Oh! Long live the leader!
The disciples were very excited after hearing this. As expected, Master Lin was very generous and never stingy with his own people.
As the trial began, all the disciples entered the Heart Soul Tower one after another and began to attack towards the top of the Heart Soul Tower.
On a high platform, Lin Jichen and Nangong Yue were observing the movements of the Heart and Soul Tower below, commenting from time to time which disciple had good strength and which disciple had a tough mind.
More than a dozen elders from the outer hall stood obediently below, not daring to express their anger for fear that their future would be ruined if their performance was not good.
"Why are you still hanging my name on it? It's unnecessary. Just remove it and let the disciples fight for it."
Lin Jichen saw that his name was still hanging on the stone tablet, so he asked people to evacuate.
He is already the head of the sect, yet he is still trying to compete with other disciples in the ranking of stone tablets.
"Husband, we should all withdraw as well. We are all elders. The opportunity should be left to the disciples."
"That's fine, but they are elders, you are not."
"Why am I not an elder? Do you look down on me, the elder of Shanggong Hall?"
"I mean you are not an elder, you are the wife of the head of the family."
"Hey, you stinky husband, there are so many people here..."
Lin Jichen laughed and didn't take it to heart.
After a whole day, the Heart Soul Tower trials came to an end one after another, and the fifty disciples with the best results in the inner hall and the outer hall were selected, a total of one hundred people.
Lin Jichen, as the leader, personally received them and distributed rewards to them.
What surprised Lin Jichen was that the number one disciple in the inner hall this year was actually a female disciple.
According to the elder in charge, the female disciple was holding an ordinary Xuanpin flying sword, but her ability surpassed all the disciples and she rushed to the first position.
Even her score was the same as Nangong Yue's best score that year.
This made both Lin Jichen and Nangong Yue interested in this female disciple.
After learning that this disciple joined the Sword Sect half a year ago and was extremely talented, all the elders of the outer palace wanted to accept her as their disciple.
But she didn't agree and kept practicing alone. It only took her two months to rush from the outer hall to the inner hall.
In the inner hall, she swept away the other disciples and stood out, causing even Chu Tianhan to look at her with admiration and wanted to accept her as his successor.
But he didn't expect that this girl actually refused Chu Tianhan's solicitation.
Now in the Heart and Soul Tower, she once again won the first place in the Heart and Soul Tower.
Moreover, Lin Jichen noticed that the other party did not seem to use all her strength, so her performance did not seem to be her limit.
This surprised Lin Jichen. There were countless geniuses in the sect, but there were only a handful of them who could interest him.
"Where is she from? What is her background? Is her background clean?"
Lin Jichen asked the elder in charge.
The elder quickly replied: "She said she was a girl from an ordinary town in Muxian Prefecture. She happened to be discovered by a passing elder and was accepted into the sect. She has a very clean background."
Lin Jichen was even more surprised. Can a peerless genius really emerge from an ordinary place?
"Ask her to come over and let me take a look."
"Yes! Leader!"
The elder immediately went down and soon brought back a girl.
The girl is extremely beautiful in appearance, graceful in figure, and has an extraordinary temperament, as bright and soft as the bright moon.
But Lin Jichen frowned at this moment. He felt that this girl gave him a familiar feeling. But when he thought about it carefully, he found that she was very strange. He had never seen her before.
This is strange.
"What's your name? Where do you live? Who are your parents?"
"Reporting to the leader, my disciple's name is Shangguan Shuyun. He is from Liming Town in Muxian Prefecture, and his parents are ordinary people." The female disciple replied.
Lin Jichen looked into her eyes to make sure that she was not lying. Moreover, he used his spiritual sense to detect that this girl was not only extremely talented, but also had an extremely pure heart, as clean and clear as a baby, without any distracting thoughts.
This was the first time he saw such a person. It was as if this girl did not grow up in the human world, but came down from the fairy world, and her soul and body were not stained with a trace of dirt.
Not to mention Chu Tianhan, he even had the idea of accepting her as his disciple.
It's like a master blacksmith who suddenly finds a piece of casting material without any impurities. He will desperately want to take it back and spend all his efforts on it to create a peerless magic weapon himself!
However, Lin Jichen felt that the other party might not want to accept him as his teacher. After all, even Chu Tianhan had not been successfully recruited. How could he, the leader, have the nerve to take the initiative to speak up? It would be very embarrassing if he was rejected.
He had no choice but to give up the idea, smiled and praised the other person a few times, and then generously asked her which elder of the sect she liked, letting her choose casually.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the girl stared at Lin Jichen and said, "This disciple wants to become my master."
"Oh? Why don't so many elders choose? You need to know that I don't have time to teach you too many things. It's better to find other great elders. They can concentrate on teaching you skills."
"No, I just want to be my master."
"Why?"
"If my disciple said that the master and I are destined, would you believe it?"
Lin Jichen was speechless for a moment, and was about to wonder if the other party had deliberately approached him for an ulterior purpose, but the next second he saw the other party's pure and clear eyes, he gave up this doubt.
Yes, this girl really felt familiar to him, but he clearly didn't recognize her.
Is it really as fate as she said?
