Zheng Xinghe paused for a moment and continued: "The outer gate of Xuanyang Sect has a total of four halls, namely Qinghe Hall, Donglin Hall, Zishan Hall, and Dongyang Hall. Each hall corresponds to a county.
Every two years, the four outer sects recruit one hundred disciples from each of the four counties. After entering the sect, you new disciples will have to go through the entrance competition.
The entry competition is a great opportunity for you to make a name for yourself in the sect. If you rank high, you will receive rewards from the sect. For example... the top 100 will receive ten sect contribution points.
If you can get the top ten in the entry competition, then congratulations, you will not only get 100 points of sect contribution points, high-grade martial arts and martial arts, but also be able to receive key training from the sect, join the genius camp, and enter the sect's cultivation treasure land.
Carry out practice.
The entry competition is not only a battle for your personal honor, but also a battle for honor for the four outer sects and your four major counties!
It is unfortunate to tell you that Qinghe Hall has won the last place twice in a row in the entrance competition. This has made the disciples from the other three counties look down on the disciples from Qinghe County.
This time, if you, Qinghe County, continue to rank last in the entry competition, you will be at the bottom three times in a row. Not to mention you, even us elders will feel embarrassed to see others.
Now, tell me...will your Qinghe County still be at the bottom in this entrance competition?"
Within the sect, there is not only a strong inheritance of martial arts, but most importantly, an extremely fierce competition mode. From the moment you join the sect, competition begins.
We are all geniuses in the same family. Who doesn’t have pride in his heart? How can he be willing to be inferior to others?
In particular, Xuanyang Sect's four outer sect halls are divided directly into the names of four counties. Even if there is no competition, it can cause regional disputes among the disciples of each county.
Now, there is an entry-level competition, which makes the disciples from the four counties feel like they have been beaten to death. They rush forward with all their strength, unwilling to lag behind others.
Therefore, when these new disciples from Qinghe County heard that Qinghe County had been ranked last in the entry competition twice in a row, they felt ashamed and angry in their hearts, and they had endless fighting spirit.
"No! Absolutely not!"
All the young warriors shouted in unison.
The first two disciples of Qinghe County who joined the Xuanyang Sect were already classified as "hot chickens" in the minds of the new disciples. Moreover, they firmly believed in their hearts that they were definitely not "hot chickens" and would definitely not be admitted to the entrance hall.
Continue to be at the bottom.
"Your fighting spirit is very high, which is good. I hope your strength can be directly proportional to your fighting spirit, and you will not let the elders of Qinghe Hall down again."
Zheng Xinghe mobilized the fighting spirit of all the Qinghe County disciples with a few words, showed a slight smile and said:
"Today, you can say goodbye to your family for the rest of the time, but you must return to the sect's stronghold before nightfall. Rest there at night. Early tomorrow morning, take the beast cart to Xuanyang Sect and disband."
After saying this, Zheng Xinghe's figure flashed and quickly disappeared into the sky.
All the young warriors walked out of the square to meet their relatives, with faces full of joy and laughter, and they all exhaled and raised their eyebrows.
Luo Fan and Su Youxuan are wandering warriors with no family, but they are a bit different at the moment. They seem to be alone.
"Junior brother and sister, don't you have family?"
Upon seeing this, an outer deacon of the eighth level of martial arts came to Luo Fan and Su Youxuan and asked curiously.
Su Youxuan nodded slightly, and Luo Fan said: "We are wandering warriors."
"Wandering warrior?"
The deacon was a little surprised and said: "It is really rare for a wandering warrior to join the sect. I have recruited several disciples in Qinghe County, but this is the first time I have met him."
Luo Fan and Su Youxuan smiled slightly.
Luo Fan asked: "Senior brother, I have a pet animal, can I bring it into the sect?"
"My name is Chu Yutang, just call me Senior Brother Chu."
The outer sect deacon of the eighth level of martial arts, 'Cui Yutang', said: "Beast pets are allowed into the sect, but they must be registered. Moreover, when you arrive at the sect, you cannot move around at will and can only stay in a limited area. You can only
Use your free time to feed.”
Saying that, Chu Yutang took out a pen and booklet from the treasure bag: "Tell me, what is your name, your pet type and grade, I have registered it, and I will take it with me to Xuanyang Sect tomorrow."
Luo Fan said: "My name is Luo Fan, and my pet is a black bull."
Chu Yutang wrote in the book: "Pet owner: Luo Fan, pet type: Black Bull."
Chu Yutang said: "Where is the level of animal pets?"
Luo Fan said: "First-order savage beast."
"Beast pet level: first level barbarian...!"
Chu Yutang was reading and writing, and suddenly he looked startled. He looked up at Luo Fan and said, "You said it wrong, isn't it a first-order desolate beast?"
Luo Fan said: "Yes, that's right, it's a first-order savage beast."
Chu Yutang's eyes suddenly widened and he exclaimed in shock: "What did you say? A first-order savage beast?"
At this moment, Chu Yutang's expression was very funny.
Barbaric beasts are monster beasts that are equivalent to those who are powerful in the true way.
Even in a powerful sect such as Xuanyang Sect, the true masters are elder-level figures.
Luo Fan and Su Youxuan were both at the second level of martial arts, and they actually had a first-level beast as a pet. Chu Yutang felt confused in the wind and wondered if he had heard wrong, so he confirmed it again.
But the affirmative answer given by Luo Fan shocked Chu Yutang again.
Chu Yutang looked at Luo Fan blankly and said, "Are you kidding me? You two are only at the second level of martial arts. How can you have a pet of a first-level savage beast?"
Luo Fan said: "To be honest, I was abandoned in the wilderness when I was a child. I was saved by an extremely psychic black cow. Only then did I survive. The black cow who saved me was not a savage beast at first. A few days ago, I was rescued by a black cow.
I accidentally obtained a piece of earth milk stone crystal in the Dongyun Mountains, and I was lucky enough to be promoted to a barbaric beast. Senior Brother Chu, do you need to remember these too?"
After joining the Xuanyang Sect, Luo Fan naturally thought of the origin of the big black bull.
Chu Yutang shook his head slightly to make himself clearer, and said: "There is no need to remember these, but it is related to the beast and I can't make the decision. This matter must be reported to Elder Zheng and let Elder Zheng make a decision."
Luo Fan said: "Elder Zheng Xinghe?"
Chu Yutang nodded and said: "Anyway, you don't have any relatives to see, so just come with me to see Elder Zheng."
…
Xuanyang Sect's stronghold is in a hall.
Chu Yutang took Luo Fan and Su Youxuan to meet Zheng Xinghe.
After the ceremony, Chu Yutang reported to Luo Fan about the beast.
Although Zheng Xinghe looked a little surprised, he was still very calm. He glanced at Luo Fan and said, "So you are the Luo Fan who beat the younger generation of the Shen family. Your strength is very good."
Luo Fan smiled.
Zheng Xinghe continued: "Barbarian-level monsters possess extremely high intelligence and can speak human words, which is equivalent to a true Taoist warrior. When such a being joins our Xuanyang Sect, the Xuanyang Sect is equivalent to having one more true Taoist warrior.
Of course it's a good thing.
Luo Fan, you can bring that big black bull into the Xuanyang Sect, but it must also join the Xuanyang Sect. Don’t worry, the Xuanyang Sect will not treat it badly, and will make it a protector spirit beast and give it the same status as an elder.
status, and resource cultivation.”
Luo Fan rolled his eyes slightly, thinking in his mind.
Zheng Xinghe said: "You don't have to worry that the sect will appropriate it. Even if it becomes a sect-protecting spirit beast, it will not affect your relationship. If it listens to you, it will always be your pet. This is the point of the sect.
The door will not force change."
Luo Fan nodded slightly and said: "Well, the relationship between me and the big black bull is not a master and a pet. To be precise, it is a relationship of friends. I will listen to the big black bull's opinion. If it thinks it is okay, I will take him with him.
It goes to Xuanyang Sect, it doesn’t want to go, and I can’t help it.”
Zheng Xinghe also nodded and said: "Okay, but if it is willing to come to Xuanyang Sect, the sect also has some requirements. Your relationship should be kept secret as much as possible, and if it is not necessary, you should try not to meet until you grow up.
You are an outer disciple, but you own a savage beast. This is not good for other disciples to know. They will be afraid of you because of the savage beast. If no one regards you as an opponent, this is not a good thing for you.
Moreover, you should try your best to forget that you are a savage beast. After entering Xuanyang Sect, you should rely on your own strength as much as possible. Even if you encounter setbacks, you should use your own strength to get through it, so that you can continue to change.
Be strong, become a strong person.
If you keep relying on wild beasts, even if you can run rampant among Xuanyang Sect disciples, it will not be of any benefit to you in the future. When you enter Xuanyang Sect, you should regard the sect as a place for growth, not a greenhouse."
What Zheng Xinghe said made sense. Luo Fan did not object to this and said: "No problem."
After leaving Xuanyang Sect's stronghold, Luo Fan asked Dahei Niu for his opinion.
"Of course I'm going, Lao Niu. How can I trust you to be alone in Xuanyang Sect?"
Da Hei Niu's attitude was very resolute, but he quickly rolled his eyes and grinned:
"It's not bad to be a protector of the sect. The status is equivalent to that of an elder. The Xuanyang Sect also provides resources for Lao Niu and me to practice. Hehe... It just so happens that we have one person and one ox, and we have two swords combined to create a bright sun in the Xuanyang Sect.
sky."
Luo Fan snapped his fingers and said: "Okay, come with me to the Xuanyang Sect stronghold. We will go to Xuanyang Sect with the team tomorrow."
…
That night, all the new disciples spent the night at the Xuanyang Sect stronghold.
Da Hei Niu and Zheng Xinghe met. One was a barbaric beast and the other was a strong man of the true way. The two of them started chatting quite well, and they regretted meeting each other so late.
In the early morning of the next day, the deacons of Xuanyang Sect prepared five large beast carts, which were pulled by seventh-level desolate beasts with red-blooded dragon scales.
One hundred new disciples were divided into five groups, each led by a deacon, boarded the beast cart, left Qinghe County, and headed for Xuanyang Sect.
The Xuanyang Sect is located in the Xuanyang Mountains in the east of Jiangzhou, and the sect is built on Xuanyang Peak, the main peak of the Xuanyang Mountains.
The Xuanyang Mountains are located between the four eastern counties of Jiangzhou and stretch for thousands of miles.
The straight-line distance between Qinghe County and Xuanyang Peak, the main peak, is more than 1,500 miles, and the road distance is more than 2,500 miles. With the foot power of a red-blooded dragon scale horse, it can be reached in one day.
