A ray of morning light shone on the city wall of Qianlong County, which heralded the arrival of a new day.
And this day will be the most lively day in Qianlong County in the past four years, because this day is the day when the four major families recruit outer disciples for assessment. This day is the day whether all the poor cultivators can change their destiny.
Looking at the Xia brothers who got up early in the morning to make a fire to cook, Qin Yu also sighed in his heart. The Xia brothers were tossing and turning last night and could not sleep. In fact, it was not just the Xia brothers, but also how many other poor cultivators were there nearby.
Some slept well, and some even got up before dawn to meditate.
This scene reminded Qin Yu of the situation when he took the college entrance examination. The two situations were so similar. The college entrance examination is also the best opportunity for people from poor families to leap over the dragon's gate.
Of course, with the current expansion of university enrollment, the college entrance examination has become easier, and the college entrance examination is not the only way out.
But in the Yunmeng Realm, if those cultivators from poor backgrounds want to take a step forward, they can only pass the assessment of these four major families, because cultivation is extremely resource-consuming, and in the Yunmeng Realm, the resources are all controlled by
In the hands of the family, the four major families account for three-quarters.
However, it is not so easy to become an outer disciple of the four major families. The total score of the six examinations is 60 points, and you can only pass if you get 50 points. This means that each of the six examinations must get an average of nine points.
High score.
This is a very high score. At least most practitioners from poor families cannot achieve it. Only those geniuses can achieve it. And this is the purpose of the four major families. They only want geniuses.
"Sir, the time for the assessment is coming soon."
In the county governor's house, Bai Quan changed his clothes and walked towards the assessment square accompanied by the middle-aged scholar. The assessment of the outer disciples of the four major families is a major event in Yunmeng Realm. In every county, it is decided by the local county.
Mamoru is personally responsible.
In addition to the county governor, there are also patriarchs of other families in the county, forming a five-person judging panel in total. Of course, these four family patriarchs are just to prevent the county governor from cheating secretly, just like the jury in a court.
Three quarters of a hour!
When Bai Quan and the heads of the four clans in the county appeared in the assessment square, the entire square reached its most lively moment, and the people of the county surrounded the square.
The square in Qianlong County is very large, covering an area of more than 30,000 square meters, and it is located in the center of Qianlong County. Of course, this is not only the case in Qianlong County, but also in other counties and cities.
Therefore, this square is enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people to watch, and there are thousands of contestants who signed up for the competition this time.
There are hundreds of villages under the entire Qianlong County, not counting the young people in the county, so it is not a big deal for thousands of young people to participate in the assessment. After all, the assessment is held every four years.
"There are so many people. We also have so many young talents in Qianlong County."
"What does this mean? Four years ago, I went to Canghai County, the largest county in our province, and there were tens of thousands of young people who were eligible to sign up for the competition. But even so, only a hundred people passed the examination in the end.
"
hiss!
The crowd took a breath. The ratio of one in a hundred means that only ten people from Qianlong County can pass the assessment?
"There will definitely be more than ten, but there will definitely not be more than twenty. In the past, the most number of young talents who passed the examination was only eighteen, and the least number was only six."
An old man spoke. He was a native of Qianlong County. He had personally seen the assessment every four years, so he knew it very well.
While the people were discussing, the gate to the square assessment was opened, and then groups of soldiers walked out, guarding both sides.
"Those who participate in the assessment must get their ID badges to enter. No one else is allowed to enter."
Wow!
As soon as the soldier leader opened his mouth, the young people gathered around quickly crowded towards the door, and the two Xia brothers did the same. But what surprised the two Xia brothers was that the people in front of them seemed to have made way for them.
The way out was the same, and they managed to get to the first place easily.
"Sir, the three of us are here to take part in the assessment." Xia Tian didn't think too much and hurriedly said to the soldier leader.
The soldier leader glanced at Brother Xia and Qin Yu, and then nodded, "There is a trial stone here, use all your strength to hit it."
The trial stone is used to check the realm. Because there are too many people who signed up, it is impossible to review them one by one. It can only be done through on-site inspection.
"good."
The Xia brothers understood this, and immediately walked to the trial stone and punched the stone with one punch.
There was nothing wrong with the stone. Two blue rays of light emanated from the surface of the stone. After taking a look, the soldier leader nodded to a soldier beside him. The soldier took out two pieces of jade from his pocket.
A token made with the numbers thirty and thirty-one engraved on it.
With Qin Yu's eyesight, he can naturally see the numbers on the token. He doesn't need to think about it to know that it is the identity badge of the contestants. However, the two Xia Tian brothers are the first to come here, but the identity badge is.
Thirty and thirty-one, it’s a bit intriguing where the first thirty went.
It was Qin Yu's turn. Looking at the trial stone in front of him, Qin Yu did not exert as much force as the Xia brothers, but lightly slapped a palm towards the trial stone.
This made the soldier leader on the side stunned for a moment, but his eyes lit up when he saw the green light lighting up on the trial stone.
"Is this your ID card?" Qin Yu held his ID card. When he saw the number sixteen displayed on it, his expression did not change much, because it was just his guess.
Obviously, the numbers on these identity cards are meaningful and are determined based on the strength and talent of the contestants. Although the Xia brothers were the first to arrive here, because they are only at the third level, the number is after thirty.
.
And because he showed a strength close to the fourth level, even though he was given the number sixteen, that is to say, there were fifteen people ahead of him who showed strength even stronger than him.
As for the reason why Qin Yu is so sure, it is because he knows very well that there are seeded players and non-seeded players in any competition. It is impossible for the outstanding talents in Qianlong County and the big shots in the county not to know.
After passing the strength check, the three brothers Qin Yu and Xia Tian walked into the middle of the square under the leadership of a soldier. What appeared in front of them was a stone monument.
"Crush this stone tablet as quickly as possible. Time will start counting from the moment you step over this yellow line. Anyone who exceeds a quarter of an hour will be eliminated." A timekeeper standing in front of Qin Yu and the others said.
Qin Yu glanced at the stone tablet. With his eyesight, he could tell at a glance that if a fourth-level person came to this stone tablet, it could be solved in about one breath. If it was a late third-level person, it would take about fifty.
If you are in the middle stage of the third level, it will take thirty times, and if you are in the early stage of the third level, you will need hundreds of times.
Some people may think that three hundred blows does not take too much time, but don't forget that unless you are a legendary master, your mental power is limited. Every time you use your full strength, your mental power will be exhausted in only ten punches at most, and then you must
Waiting for the mind power to recover, this process is slow.
Therefore, those who are eliminated in this first round of assessment are those in the early stage of third grade. Even if some mid-stage third graders pass, they are probably close to the edge of elimination and their scores will not be too high.
Qin Yu knew that with the strength of the Xia brothers, this round might be a bit uncertain. No wonder the Xia brothers had to do the points task. If every round was so difficult, it would be difficult to pass the assessment.
However, who can say that I am here.
Qin Yu touched his nose and saw that the Xia brothers on the side were a little nervous. He immediately walked towards the stone monument and slapped it with the same light palm as before.
Jam!
In the shocked eyes of the time officer next to him, the stone tablet slowly shattered, and finally collapsed completely.
"Within one breath!" The timekeeper hurriedly wrote these four words on the paper, and then added a comment at the end, which was comparable to that of a seeded player.
Both Xia brothers had looks of shock on their faces. Although they knew that Qin Yu had a fire-controlling physique, they did not expect that his level was so high.
"Okay, it's time for you two." After the time officer woke up from the shock, he opened his mouth and said to the two Xia brothers.
There are a total of thirty timekeepers in this round, which means each timekeeper has to face 300 players. If we don't hurry up, I'm afraid there won't be enough time in one day.
"Oh, good!"
The two brothers Xia Tian quickly walked to their respective stone tablets and hit the stone tablet with all their strength. At the same time, a crack appeared on the stone tablet.
"Eh!" The timekeeper on the side was surprised again, because he knew this stone tablet very well. He was not in the late third-level realm, and it was impossible for him to crack the stone tablet with one punch.
However, the timekeeper's shock was just the beginning, because the next few punches of the two Xia Tian brothers made the stone tablet more and more cracked. Finally, after ten punches, the stone tablet collapsed suddenly.
Ten punches and three breaths of time, although I don't know why the Xia brothers were able to do it, the timekeeper still wrote the time on the paper.
"Okay, you passed the first round, now you can go to the next round."
Second round, third round, fourth round!
Qin Yu all passed within one breath, while Brother Xia all passed within three breaths.
Such results finally aroused the discussion of the people watching the game, and also attracted the attention of Bai Quan and others above.
"This young man is not bad." Bai Quan asked the four clan leaders beside him, "But are they the descendants of the clan?"
The four clan leaders sitting next to Bai Quan smiled awkwardly, because they did not know Qin Yu at all, and they naturally knew the young people in their own clan who participated in this assessment.
"Lord Sheriff, do you think those two are a little weird? They are clearly in the early and middle stages of the third grade, but they can pass these tests so quickly." Several clan leaders changed the topic.
"It's a bit strange. Maybe there is some special trump card. Don't forget that there are many special people in Yunmeng Realm. As long as they are not cheating, it will be fine." Bai Quan replied nonchalantly. (To be continued)
