A stone pillar of power that was supposed to be given to the disciples of the Open Light Realm appeared in front of Xi Zhong.
You don't need to look to know that this is when Ning Heyun starts to cause trouble for himself.
And this stumbling block is pretty tough.
Logically speaking, the power stone pillar in front of Xi Zhong should be an ordinary grade power stone pillar, suitable for hitting in the Qi Refining Realm and Foundation Establishment Realm.
But this one in front of me...
It's really hard.
Xi Zhong suddenly raised his hand and said loudly: "Report to the deacon, I want to report something I don't understand!"
The deacon in the distance had a flash of light in his eyes, and then his figure disappeared instantly, and the next moment he appeared in front of Xi Zhong.
He glanced at Xi Zhong and asked calmly: "What's wrong with you?"
The disciples around him all looked like they were watching a show.
The same is true for Lu Jie.
Xi Zhong pointed at the jade-colored power stone pillar and said respectfully: "Deacon, I am just a young monk at the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm. Is it inappropriate to arrange such a high-grade power stone pillar for me? Isn't it appropriate?
Obviously the arrangement was wrong."
The deacon frowned slightly.
He was ordered by the Third Elder Ning Heyun to prepare this high-grade power stone pillar for this disciple.
He had also questioned it, but then when he saw the cold eyes of Elder Ning Heyun, he shut up instantly.
He understood that Elder Ning was deliberately trying to embarrass the disciple named Xi Zhong in front of him.
As the deacon who prepared the pillar of strength, although he knew that preparing this pillar of strength for Xi Zhong was obviously embarrassing... No, this was no longer an embarrassment, it was called a naked trap.
Such a high-grade power stone pillar, not to mention whether Xi Zhong, who is only at the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm, can break it. Even if those disciples who have reached the Consecration Realm want to break it, they will have to spend a lot of effort, so they should use a few tricks.
Only by pressing the bottom of the box can it be broken into pieces.
But now, it takes a monk at the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm to break such a stone pillar of power...
Well, it can be said to be impossible.
This deacon is actually not stupid.
After being instructed by Ning Heyun, he directly read Xi Zhong's registration information, and then discovered the reason why Ning Heyun wanted to harm Xi Zhong.
It turns out that Xi Zhong’s master is Ren Jingshan, the yellow card enshrined in Qingzhu Island.
I have long heard that Ning Heyun's son Ning Xingchen was humiliated by Ren Jingshan when he attended the opening ceremony. His son was bullied, and I stood up. This is a natural thing.
Normally Ning Heyun couldn't find anything that disgusted Ren Jingshan, so he could only rely on this entrance examination.
If it doesn't disgust you, then it will disgust your apprentice.
Ning Heyun probably thought so.
The deacon also knew that this was very unfair to Xi Zhong, very unfair.
But so what?
This is the order of the third elder. He, a little deacon, cannot disobey it.
Therefore, this high-grade power stone pillar appeared in the serial number position of Xi Zhong.
After the deacon frowned slightly, his eyes became indifferent, and he asked: "Tell me, what's wrong with this?"
Xi Zhong was paused upon hearing this and looked at the deacon in disbelief.
Others also suppressed their laughter.
What's inappropriate here, do you need to say it?
But the next moment, Xi Zhong withdrew his disbelieving look.
Because he saw a warning look in the deacon's eyes.
The general meaning is that if you want to be assessed, then do it; if you don’t want to be assessed, just get out of here.
If you continue to pester me, this deacon will directly remove you from the assessment list!
It seems that this deacon also succumbed to Ning Heyun's lustful power.
Xi Zhong sighed and bowed his hands to the deacon, "This deacon, my disciple just made a mistake. Your arrangement is very appropriate!"
The deacon retracted his threatening gaze and said calmly: "In that case, the assessment will continue as normal. After I give the order, you can start hitting the pillar of power again. Only those who break the pillar of power can advance to the next level.
The time for an assessment is limited to half a day. When the sun is in the center of the sky, the assessment will end. Disciples, wait quietly!"
After saying that, the figure began to disappear.
Lu Jie, who looked rough and tall, turned his head and looked at Xi Zhong, gloating: "Friend, are you depressed? Why are you hitting the same pillar as me?"
Xi Zhong twitched his lips and said, "We are friends, so come and help me build pillars!"
Lu Jie laughed and said, "Are you kidding me? I don't know if I can break the stick in front of me. Why should I help you?"
Xi Zhong chuckled, "I was just joking."
After saying that, he ignored Lu Jie and began to look at the stone pillar of power in front of him.
The people around him were already laughing.
It was obvious that someone was making things difficult for Xi Zhong, but no one came forward.
Including the deacon, they all followed Ning Heyun's arrangements.
If it were placed in a previous life, then Xi Zhong would be like an ordinary employee who was screwed over by his boss, angry but helpless.
Xi Zhong touched his chin and looked at the stone pillar in front of him. His heart actually didn't fluctuate much.
This stone pillar was actually not a problem for him.
He was just thinking that, as Sister Ren said, that old dog Ning Heyun began to disgust him in these ways.
But in the eyes of that old dog Ning Heyun, he probably wouldn't be able to pass this level.
In everyone's eyes, I don't think I can pass this level.
Xi Zhong suddenly wanted to laugh.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the expressions on these people's faces.
Especially Ning Heyun's expression after knowing the results of this assessment.
…
The deacon appeared under a big clock and said loudly: "The time has come, now the assessment officially begins!"
After that, hit the big clock with the wood directly.
"Boom!"
The sound of a bell spread loudly.
And in the extremely wide square, one after another deep shouts could be heard.
"Bang!" Someone smashed the power stone pillar in front of him with one punch, causing a burst of cheers and admiration from the disciples around him.
"Bang bang bang!" Some people also hit the stone pillar with all their strength, but the stone pillar did not move at all, which attracted a burst of boos and ridicules from the surrounding disciples.
Of course, most of them were ordinary disciples who were able to break the stone pillar after going through all kinds of hardships and using up their last bit of strength.
Obviously, although the deacon only made things difficult for Xi Zhong, the power pillars he arranged for the others were still very fair and in line with the circumstances of these disciples.
If there is any place on this east square that is the busiest, it is Lu Jie's place.
Lu Jie had to deal with the jade-colored power stone pillar in front of him with great difficulty.
Logically speaking, with Lu Jie's talent and strength, he shouldn't have to deal with such a stone pillar like this.
It's just that Lu Jie didn't know why, but he didn't use his fist and just punched the stone pillar with one punch.
Although the stone pillar was not broken, fist marks and dents began to appear.
The disciples around him were shocked when they saw this.
He was shocked by Lu Jie's physical strength.
How strong is Lu Jie's physique? He was able to dent this top-grade power stone pillar with just physical fists without using his fists.
The examiners who were hiding in the dark and observing many disciples nodded secretly after seeing Lu Jie's actions.
Then the examiners turned their eyes to Xi Zhong and shook their heads in disappointment.
I saw that Xi Zhong had already begun to sit cross-legged and began to meditate in front of the stone pillar to absorb spiritual power. He seemed to have given up.
An examiner with a perfect Spiritual Void Realm pointed at the image that appeared in the light curtain in front of him and said calmly: "Others are afraid of Ning Heyun, but I am not afraid of this boy named Xi Zhong. Originally, I was thinking about what to do.
I had to disobey the third elder's order and give him a fair assessment, but now that I saw him like this, I was really relieved. This Xi Zhong, faced with difficulties, gave up without even trying.
This is really rubbish, but fortunately I didn’t grit my teeth and have the pillar of strength replaced!”
Another examiner who was also in the Lingxu realm nodded and agreed: "What my old friend said is absolutely true. I don't know why that monk accepted such an incompetent disciple. When encountering setbacks, he gave up without even thinking. It's true.
It goes against the original intention of us cultivators."
The original intention of those who practice Taoism is naturally to be an enemy of heaven.
To attain immortality and to escape from the cycle of life and death, almost every aspect of this is not against God?
Although we definitely can't do it for God's sake, we still did it after all.
This is called facing setbacks without fear.
However, Xi Zhong's wasteful spirit of giving up at the first sight of difficulties was despised by these two examiners.
The two examiners simultaneously looked at Lu Jie who was punching bravely, and both nodded in admiration.
"You should be like Lu Jie, facing up to difficulties, not only without using all your strength, but just with your bare fists. This is what a monk should do."
"It's true, this Lu Jie is obviously talented in external physical training. After passing the fourth level, he can be allowed to enter the library to select special techniques for increasing his physical strength!"
The two examiners silently made a conclusion to Xi Zhong and Lu Jie.
The deacon also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xi Zhong admitting his defeat.
In fact, he was really worried that Xi Zhong would make things worse by being ignorant.
The main reason is that Xi Zhong is Ren Jingshan's disciple. Although the disciple is incompetent, the master is not incompetent. In the sect meetings, he has frequently received praise from our outer sect leader, so if Xi Zhong really makes trouble, he will still
I really have to bite the bullet and replace the power pillar.
Lu Jie in front was punching wildly and sweating like crazy.
The surrounding disciples had already begun to watch Lu Jie.
Because they have completed the assessment.
Those who were left unfinished were gritting their teeth and hitting the stone pillars with all their strength.
The sun in the sky gradually moves to the center of the sky, and people's shadows gradually change from oblique to straight.
Noon gradually comes.
The assessment time is gradually shortened.
Just when Lu Jie was about to use all his strength to smash the stone pillar in front of him.
