Qi Ji knew very well that if Zhuo Wen was really promoted to the outer courtyard by the dean, it would be obvious that the title of Newcomer King would definitely fall on Zhuo Wen.
After all, Yuan Zhao, who is the most talented and powerful among the freshmen this time, has not received such treatment as the dean. Even if Yuan Zhao wins the Rookie King, it will be somewhat unworthy of the name. By then, the bet between him and Cheng Dong will be nothing.
effect.
Cheng Dong frowned slightly and stared at Qi Ji coldly. He didn't know what Qi Ji was paying attention to. He snorted coldly: "Qi Ji! Maybe you haven't understood yet. Zhuo Wen is the first person in history to be...
The cultivation of the Supreme Realm has passed through the Tianzun Iron Man Cave."
"This kind of talent is enough to be directly promoted to the outer court by the dean. Even the title of the new king this time is worthy of Zhuo Wen. After all, he is only twenty years old now, and his cultivation level is only at the Supreme Realm. If he is also at the Tianzun Realm, he will definitely be crushed.
Overwhelm all new students."
Qi Ji's eyes were cold and he said indifferently: "Cheng Dong! Don't forget the admissions rules of our Jia Shen College. If the dean sets this precedent, what will other freshmen think?"
The smile on the corner of the dean's mouth also faded. He glanced at Qi Ji and said, "Do I still need your advice on what I have decided? Or are you the dean of the outer courtyard?"
Qi Ji's face changed slightly, and he quickly raised his hands and said, "Don't dare! Qi Ji has absolutely no such idea."
The dean snorted coldly, then turned his attention back to Zhuo Wen, and said with a smile: "Zhuo Wen! What do you think of my proposal? It is an inevitable trend to enter the outer courtyard with your talent, so there is no need to test again."
Zhuo Wen's eyes were calm, and he bowed his hands respectfully: "Thank you very much, Dean, for your kindness. Zhuo Wen is very grateful! However, I cannot accept the direct promotion."
Wow!
The uproar spread throughout the square. Everyone stared at Zhuo Wen, looking like an idiot. This kid was really joking. The dean personally promoted him to the outer courtyard. This kid actually refused. Is this a joke?
?
The dean was startled and asked in surprise: "Since you refuse, there must be a reason, right?"
Zhuo Wen's eyes were extremely calm from beginning to end, and he asked: "I want to ask the dean, how can a sword become sharper?"
"Of course it needs repeated polishing and forging to become a sharp sword." The dean nodded and said without thinking.
"The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold! The path of a warrior is a path that is accompanied by countless difficulties, life and death, and dangers. Since you have entered this path, there should not be any luck or shortcuts.
.”
"The boy is very happy with the dean's appreciation, and he can directly enter the outer courtyard without testing, which is even more unexpected! But this will only stimulate the laziness and ease in my heart, and it will not do any good for my martial arts.
…”
Having said this, Zhuo Wen slowly straightened his spine, and a strong self-confidence burst out from his body. At this moment, Zhuo Wen, although his cultivation level was not high, his confidence in himself and his unyielding will.
But it deeply infected everyone.
Many people even felt a little ashamed of themselves. They had longed for Zhuo Wen's opportunity to directly enter the outer courtyard, but Zhuo Wen did not accept it, but refused.
Because the young man standing in front of the dean had a true desire for martial arts in his heart, he regarded all obstacles and difficulties as a kind of experience and tempering. How many people can achieve such a state of mind.
"The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold!"
The dean murmured the poem Zhuo Wen just said in a low voice, and his eyes were filled with a strong light. The young man in front of him was in an extraordinary state of mind. No wonder he could break through the Tianzun Iron Man Cave with just the supreme realm.
"Haha! Zhuo Wen, your state of mind is very good. This is the state of mind that a warrior should have. Unyielding and unyielding in the face of life and death. Warriors should have the determination and will to fight against difficulties and swim upstream."
Zhuo Wen's refusal did not cause the dean any displeasure. Instead, he laughed and praised Zhuo Wen profusely.
"Brother Zhuo Wen is indeed in a good mood, and his future prospects are absolutely limitless!" Qi Ji said with excitement.
He had been worried that Zhuo Wen would agree to it before, so he gritted his teeth and refuted the dean. Now that Zhuo Wen has taken the initiative to reject the dean, it is clear enough for the new king this time.
Zhuo Wen's potential is indeed terrifying, but after all, he is only in the Supreme realm, and Yuan Zhao's strength has reached the middle stage of Tianzun, so Qi Ji knows that Zhuo Wen will definitely not be weak in his future achievements, but this time the new king will definitely be Yuan Zhao. When the time comes, Cheng Dong
The Jiuquhuibaodan is what he has in his pocket.
Cheng Dong frowned slightly. He did not expect that Zhuo Wen would actually refuse the dean's invitation. Although he wanted to persuade Zhuo Wen, after listening to Zhuo Wen's words just now, Cheng Dong also knew that Zhuo Wen had made up his mind to refuse.
.
"It seems like there's going to be a lot of bleeding this time!" Cheng Dong sighed softly, somewhat helplessly.
Zhuo Wen's talent and potential are strong, but after all, his cultivation is too weak. If Zhuo Wen is given a few years, it is inevitable to surpass Yuan Zhao. However, if he faces Yuan Zhao now, it will probably be difficult. This time the newcomer king's
The ownership will definitely be with Qi Ji.
However, Cheng Dong did not regret it, especially after listening to what Zhuo Wen said just now, Cheng Dong also thought about it. The road to martial arts was full of hardships. If he lost the Jiuquhui Bao Dan, he could redeem it again in the future, so let's take it as such.
This time is a training for myself.
Since Zhuo Wen refused to enter the outer courtyard directly, the dean naturally did not force it, but said loudly: "The second phase of testing is over, and now the third phase of testing can begin."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the valley showed excitement. They had worked hard to pass the first two stages of testing, and now they have finally reached the most critical stage.
The results of this third phase of testing will directly determine whether they will stay or leave, and will also be related to their future path in martial arts.
"Brother Zhuo! The dean personally invited you to enter the outer courtyard directly. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It's such a pity that you refused." Zhuo Wen returned to the Canaan brothers and sisters. Mo Lingtian, who was standing behind him, felt a little resentful.
Iron cannot become steel.
"Brother Mo! Everyone's choices are different. In my opinion, only by fighting for something can I better prove myself. Otherwise, it will only become an obstacle on my path to martial arts." Zhuo Wen shook his head.
Hearing this, Mo Lingtian's eyes were complicated, but he also knew that Zhuo Wen had already made up his mind about this matter and had already rejected it, so it was useless for him to say more. He just felt pity in his heart.
"The third phase of testing is about to begin. Let's take a look at what this third phase of testing is, right?"
Zhuo Wen focused his eyes on the dean, his eyes bright. He knew that the third phase of the test would be presided over by the dean himself.
"I'm afraid it won't be easy. So many people have been eliminated in the second phase of testing, and the third phase of testing will only be more cruel." Mo Lingtian said with a cautious expression.
Zhuo Wen nodded. The test in Iron Man Cave has already eliminated more than 20,000 people. So this third stage of the test must be more terrifying than Iron Man Cave. However, after passing the first two test levels, the remaining 7,000 warriors can be considered as all three.
An elite among thousands of people, with extraordinary combat power.
At this moment, the dean stepped on the void and stomped his right foot. The terrifying Yuan Power condensed and turned into a huge bare foot. This huge bare foot slammed towards the center of the valley.
As soon as he stepped on it, the whole valley shook violently, and the earth collapsed.
"rise!"
The dean's majestic voice spread out, and then everyone's pupils narrowed and they discovered that the entire valley was cracked, and then in the cracked valley, there were unexpectedly a sky-high rock barrier. Each barrier was
It has a height of ten thousand feet.
The entire valley was shrouded by this ten thousand-foot barrier, and the environment inside actually began to look a little dark, with most of the sunlight blocked by this barrier.
When everyone's eyes were focused on this ten thousand-foot barrier, they were shocked to find that there were actually animal heads of different shapes in this barrier. The mouths of these different types of animal heads were wide open, and on their
There is a deep tunnel inside the mouth.
"This is the Ten Thousand Beasts Grotto. There is a deep corridor inside the grotto. There are more difficult trials in this corridor. Your goal is to pass the trials in the grotto and reach the exit."
"In this test, you must arrive at the exit of the grotto as quickly as possible. At the exit, there is a jade plaque with a ranking number engraved on it. The number you get will indicate your ranking!"
"Remember! There are only 500 jade tokens at the exit. In other words, only the top 500 people are qualified to come out with the jade tokens, and only these 500 people are qualified to enter the outer courtyard."
Having said this, the dean was suspended above the Ten Thousand Beasts Grotto, quietly looking down at the people below.
As soon as these words came out, the crowd nodded one after another. It seems that the third stage of the test will be divided into rankings. Although the dean did not elaborate, everyone knew that the rankings for entering the outer courtyard this time must have their own benefits.
The higher the ranking, the greater the benefits.
However, what makes everyone nervous is that there are only 500 jade tokens at the exit of Ten Thousand Beasts Grotto, but there are more than 7,000 people here. In other words, at least 6,000 people will be eliminated.
The elimination rate is undoubtedly very high.
"Perhaps some of you with weak cultivation will be worried that you can't compete with warriors with higher cultivation, but you can rest assured that this Ten Thousand Beast Grotto will independently set the difficulty according to your cultivation. In other words, what kind of person are you?
With your cultivation level, this Ten Thousand Beasts Grotto will be raised to a corresponding level of difficulty."
"If you are a genius and have strength beyond your own cultivation, both Xuanzun and Supreme can quickly pass through the cave passage. On the contrary, even if you have Tianzun cultivation, but do not have the strength to surpass your cultivation, then you will encounter
There are many obstacles.”
The dean explained again, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. What they feared most was that the difficulty in the Ten Thousand Beasts Grotto was the same. If so, warriors with low cultivation levels would obviously suffer.
But now they have no worries, this Ten Thousand Beasts Grotto is absolutely fair...
