"Uh..." Zhou Weiqing swallowed, "Let's go into the city to find the address of Xuantian's draft. The master of ancient proverbs said that there is a place for the draft in Ubato City."
Regarding classmate Zhou Xiaopang's change of subject, Shangguan Bing'er just chuckled and did not try to expose him. Zhou Weiqing couldn't help but hold her hand tightly, Bing'er was always so considerate.
Ubato is a port city, which is also the end point recorded in Zhou Weiqing's sea chart. It feels really good to finally set foot on the Xuantian Continent.
The first thing Zhou Weiqing did was to buy a map. He did not have the currency of the Xuantian Continent, but the Sky Cores were universal. The money he got from selling a few Sky Cores from the Supreme Sky Beasts was enough for him.
I spent some time with Shangguan Binger.
After wandering around Ubato City for a while, Zhou Weiqing discovered that there was no difference between this place and the vast continent. Except for the slightly different clothing, there was nothing else different about it.
They found a hotel to stay at, and after a brief inquiry, they got the news about Xuantian's talent show.
Ubato is an important port town, so the draft is naturally indispensable for such a big city. And they are very lucky, this year's draft will be held in one month.
After receiving such positive news, Zhou Weiqing decided to retreat for a period of time. Although he did not face any real danger during this sea trip, he and Shangguan Bing'er could be said to have truly withstood the test of the sea. Each had their own problems.
A lot of realizations and cultivation levels have also improved, and it’s time to use this period of time to integrate this understanding with one’s own cultivation level.
Shangguan Bing'er naturally practiced with Zhou Weiqing. The Holy Power in her body is also full, and with Zhou Weiqing by her side, she can directly use the Holy Power to practice. When the Holy Power is consumed to a certain extent, Zhou Weiqing only needs to re-inject some.
That's it. This made Shangguan Bing'er's cultivation advance very quickly. On the third day of seclusion, she successfully broke through the Seven Pearls realm.
As for Zhou Weiqing himself, his cultivation progress is also very fast. Although he has completed the Immortal Art, his holy power has not slowed down at all. In the process of continuous condensation, his cultivation level has naturally improved.
Upgrade it. The holy power is only one step away from the thirty-seventh level.
However, because the Immortal Divine Art has been completed, Zhou Weiqing has no idea how to break through to the thirty-seventh level. He can only continue to accumulate, hoping that in the process of accumulation, the holy power can break through on its own.
A month has passed in a blink of an eye. In addition to practicing every day, Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er will also go out for a walk to experience the local customs and learn more about the Xuantian Continent.
Their retreat was very effective. During this one-month retreat, Shangguan Bing'er relied on the powerful effect of the holy power to raise her cultivation level by another level, directly reaching the twenty-ninth level.
Although Zhou Weiqing still failed to break through the thirty-seventh level, the Holy Power in his body has not only become more condensed after this month of practice and experience, but his own understanding of the Holy Power has also become much deeper. It seems that he is now far away from the thirty-seventh level.
The seventh level is just a layer of window paper. He doesn't know how to break through Zhou Weiqing, but he knows that as long as he keeps accumulating, he will definitely be able to break through successfully.
The central square of Ubato City. It's another big day of the year, and the Lord of Ubato City has already taken his seat on the podium early. The temporary draft platform is crowded with people. Under the maintenance of a large number of soldiers, order is maintained.
ensure.
"Lord City Lord, this is the list of applicants for this draft." An attendant handed over the list.
Santan, the Lord of Ubato City, did not read the list after he took it. Instead, he handed it to the old man who was sitting high in the chair with a solemn expression with a respectful expression on his face, "Master Er Chun, please read it."
"Hmm." The man called Er Chun was wearing a blue robe, with a silver crescent moon embroidered on his left chest.
Opening the list, Master Er Chun scanned it and said calmly: "There are more than a hundred people participating in the draft this time. There are too many. Please inform me that all those with a cultivation level of less than four beads will be disqualified.
"
Santan was stunned for a moment and said with some embarrassment: "Master, this is not good. The previous rule was three beads!"
Er Chun glanced at him coldly, and Santan suddenly felt cold sweat break out on his back, "I don't want to waste more time here. When you announced it, just say that this is what our Xuantian Palace means. Could it be said that our Xuantian Palace still has
Do I need to explain anything to those young casual cultivators? If you are not strong enough, why should you participate in the draft?"
"Yes, yes." Santan wiped the sweat from his head and thought to himself, you Xuantian Palace are not afraid, but I, the Lord of Ubato City, am afraid of those Dzi Bead Masters causing trouble!
The requirements for the Xuantian draft competition are extremely demanding. Physical Jewel Masters and Mind Jewel Masters are not considered at all. Only Heavenly Jewel Masters are recruited. The original requirements for registration are those under thirty years old and three-Jewel cultivation level or above, which is already harsh enough.
, now it has been increased to four beads, it would be strange if it does not cause dissatisfaction among the casual cultivators. Of course, they dare not do anything, who dares to offend Xuantian Palace!
Sure enough, when this news was announced, it caused a commotion among the contestants. Many Dzi bead masters who claimed to be good at condensing and rubbing were complaining. You know, they had already paid the registration fee.
But just as Ubato City Lord Santan thought, these people are just dissatisfied, but none of them really dare to make trouble. Who dares to offend Xuantian Palace? Master Erchun next to Santan is just Xuantian.
The person in charge of Tiangong Ubato City was so proud that he almost raised his chin to the sky.
Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er were also in the crowd at this time. Listening to the dissatisfaction of the participating casual cultivators around them, they sent a message to Shangguan Bing'er: "It seems that although Xuantian Palace is very powerful on Xuantian Continent,
But it’s not very popular!”
Shangguan Bing'er said: "This is inevitable. Xuantian Palace has a dominant branch, and its subordinates must have high standards. It is strange that they can win people's hearts. But due to their strength, these people only dare to be angry but dare not speak out. If
If Xuantian Palace cannot respond, if things continue like this, the Xuantian Empire will break up sooner or later."
After the screening of the newly promulgated draft rules, more than half of the more than 100 people who originally signed up were reduced, leaving only about 30 people.
On the rostrum, Santan said to Erchun: "Master, can we start now?"
Er Chun didn't even move his head, he just snorted the word "um".
Only then did Santan stand up and announce, "The annual Xuantian draft has officially begun. Strong men of Ubato, show your strongest abilities and work hard to enter the finals of Tiancheng. In the first round of the draft,
The test of heavenly power begins."
On the talent show stage, someone brought five stone pillars about one meter high, with a transparent crystal ball on each stone pillar. Obviously these were used to evaluate Tianli.
Master Er Chun stood up slowly on the rostrum, took a few steps in the air with some show-off, and landed on the stage. As soon as he appeared, the whole place fell into silence.
The arrogant old man put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Contestants with four or more beads will take turns to take the stage to test the heavenly power. Let's start, five people at a time. Record the strength of the heavenly power."
As he appeared, a middle-aged man also wearing a blue robe walked up from one side. If you look carefully, you can see that the pattern embroidered on his chest is a silver star. Obviously, his status is far lower than that.
This is Master Erchun. He is holding a large book in his hand, which is obviously used for recording.
Soon, there was a dedicated person below who was responsible for organizing more than 30 Tianzhu masters whose Tianli cultivation level exceeded four beads to come on stage in batches of five.
Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er were at a relatively back position. After the first batch of five people came on stage, they each pressed their right hands on the crystal ball at the top of the column, and the one with the silver star embroidered on his chest started.
Five people activated their heavenly power at the same time.
Suddenly, the five crystal balls lit up at the same time, emitting a faint white light. With the continuous injection of heavenly power, those white lights slowly rose, and the difference was immediately visible. People with higher cultivation levels, white light
The degree of rising is naturally higher.
It lasted for about five minutes, and when those light pillars could no longer climb, the one-star deacon of Xuantian Palace who was responsible for recording waved his hand, indicating that they could end it. Then the second group of people came on stage to conduct the same test.
.
Zhou Weiqing smiled lowly and said to Shangguan Bing'er: "This is quite interesting. Let's do a test of heavenly power first. However, just a test of heavenly power cannot judge the strength of a Dzi Jewel Master. There should be others later.
Testing in progress.”
Shangguan Bing'er nodded and was about to speak when a somewhat discordant voice suddenly came from behind the two of them, "Even if there are other tests that have nothing to do with you people, you are unlikely to be selected."
The voice sounded a bit sharp and made people feel uncomfortable. Zhou Weiqing frowned slightly and turned around to see a young man in his twenties drooling at Shangguan Bing'er's buttocks.
Well. When he saw Zhou Weiqing turning to look at him, he immediately raised his head, his clothes were full of arrogance.
A gleam of coldness flashed across Zhou Weiqing's eyes, but he still had a smile on his face, "Brother, what do you mean by this? We haven't conducted the evaluation yet, how do you know that our cultivation is not enough to advance?"
