Looking at the twelve golden beads on the head of the black-robed elder Lu Sheng, a question suddenly appeared in everyone's mind.
Lu Sheng looked at the puzzled crowd, smiled, and opened his mouth to explain: "This arena is more than 120 feet long. The second round of speed test will see you running from one end of the arena to the other."
How fast or slow.”
As he spoke, he looked up at a golden bead, and saw that the golden bead exploded and turned into a cloud of golden mist.
"Every time one breath passes, a golden bead will explode. The standard for measuring your speed is the number of golden beads that explode.
This round of testing is the same as before, with minimum standards."
Lu Sheng said, making a nine sign to everyone: "After the nine golden beads explode, the disciples who have not reached the other end of the arena will be eliminated directly. The assessment will begin immediately. The disciples whose names I have called will come up."
"First place, Shenji Taoist Temple..."
Lu Sheng then announced the new round of assessment lists. This time, Su Xing was ranked in the third group, in the same group as Zhou Qinghan and Han An.
Soon, the sound of gold beads exploding was heard on the ring, and clouds of golden mist filled the surrounding ring with the sound of explosions.
Looking at the disciples on the stage who were leaping quickly on the ground, Han An said with some uneasiness: "In this second speed test, those earth disciples are probably the best at it. Just like the strength test just now, they ranked first.
Most of the ten are fire warriors."
Su Xing nodded, and his expression also became solemn. Among the contestants in the first group alone, there was an earth element vitality disciple whose speed reached four golden beads.
In the strength test just now, he was able to get the second place with the help of Chaoyang Holy Body and Demon Subduing Sutra, but this time in the speed test, he didn't have much confidence.
Time passed by in a hurry, Lu Sheng read out the names of the third group of participating disciples one by one, and everyone came on stage.
"Su Xing of Yuyang Taoist Temple."
Hearing Lu Sheng's call, Su Xing immediately stepped out of the queue and walked to the ring.asxs..
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Xing, who was breathing out his breath to prepare, and said, "You can start directly when you are ready."
Su Xing nodded, took a long breath, and gathered his energy on his legs.
As Lu Sheng said at the beginning, the preliminary selection for this academy examination is to assess the basic abilities of the disciples of the Third Avenue Academy, that is, the original abilities that do not rely on external things.
In other words, Su Xing could neither take pills that increase his speed nor use the divine walking formation that made his body light. All he could rely on was his own energy and legs.
When the vitality was completely injected into every muscle in his legs, Su Xing leaned over and gave a low shout, then quickly ran towards the end of the ring that turned into a thin line in front of him.
"Quick, quick, quick!"
The figure running at high speed cut through the air and made a hissing sound. The yellow robe suddenly turned into a bolt of lightning on the ring and flew forward quickly.
"Bang!"
Su Xing, who had just run not far away, suddenly heard an explosion sound next to his ears.
He knew this was the sound of the first golden bead exploding, but the end point ahead was still out of reach. He gritted his teeth and twitched his legs crazily.
Earth-type warriors who are good at escaping are the fastest on the battlefield. Song Xinghe, who practices fire-attribute vitality, should have performed mediocrely in this round of tests.
Therefore, this speed test is also an opportunity for Su Xing. If he can get the top spot in this test, he will have the opportunity to compete with Song Xinghe.
Every audience member at the venue focused their attention on the ring. After the first round of assessment, Su Xing has undoubtedly become another disciple after the top ten on the list that people talk about and attract attention.
Sitting in the first row of seats in Yuyang Taoist Academy, Du Jia nodded after seeing Su Xing's speed, and said to the disciples beside him: "You, Junior Brother Su, have already practiced Xingyun Bu to a very advanced level, even if it is not the earth element,
For a cultivator of vitality, his speed is considered to be excellent."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another bang, and the second golden bead exploded.
"But Master, for us disciples, no matter how high we have practiced Xingyun Bu, we can't possibly compare with those earth-type warriors, right?"
"Bang!"
"Well, this is also true. The world of warriors is exactly like this. The world of warriors is interconnected and restrained. Earth warriors are faster, fire warriors are stronger, and practitioners of each attribute are good at it.
Things. And spiritual weapons, elixirs and spiritual formations are things that people use to make up for their own shortcomings."
"Yeah." The disciple nodded in understanding, as if he hadn't yet reacted to Du Jia's words.
While the two were talking, several more golden beads exploded. Just when Du Jia was about to continue speaking, a disciple on the side said, "Su Xing is here" and stopped him.
When people looked up, they found that Su Xing was already standing at the other end of the ring, breathing heavily.
Looking up, half of the twelve golden beads on Lu Sheng's head had exploded.
"Su Xing, five golden beads."
At this time, Lu Sheng's old voice spread throughout the entire venue in a timely manner.
Upon hearing this result, Du Jia and the disciple on the side looked at each other, both showing smiles of satisfaction.
"Look, I just said that your Junior Brother Su's speed is already very fast."
On the way Su Xing walked down from the ring, Han An and Zhou Qinghan congratulated him one after another. For martial arts disciples like them who are not good at speed, the achievement of five golden beads is already very good.
Even Su Xing himself was very satisfied with this result. According to his guess, even the only earth element energy disciple in the top ten of the earth rankings could only reach the finish line before the three golden beads exploded.
From this point of view, his results should also be considered in the upper-middle ranks.
Not long after he sat back at the preparation table, Han An and Zhou Qinghan on the ring also finished their tests. The two got eight and seven gold beads respectively, safely passing the test.
Time passed by in a hurry, and disciples who had previously performed well in the strength test also appeared on the stage. Among them, even a genius disciple like Song Xinghe, who ranked first in the first round, only achieved the same five points as Su Xing.
The achievement of a golden bead.
As for the other Shenji disciples who cultivated the fire element's vitality, very few of them could reach the finish line before the six golden beads exploded.
"Xuanguang Taoist Temple, Ding Xue."
Hearing the name Lu Sheng called, all the disciples, including Su Xing, looked at the arena.
The atmosphere of the entire venue fell into silence when the name "Ding Xue" was called out.
A female disciple wearing a purple robe walked out of the queue. Her appearance was different from that of Guan Yan'er, Fang Yu or Zhou Qinghan, but she looked very mature and dignified, exuding a calm charm.
What really attracts people's attention is that Ding Xue is the only cultivator of earth-based vitality among the top ten on the earth list, and the only alchemist of earth-based vitality in Xuanguang Taoist Academy.
Ding Xue, who was wearing a purple robe, walked to the ring with steady steps. She did not bend down like the previous disciples, but stood straight in the position, stood on her tiptoes, and looked up.
To the distance.
“When you’re ready, it’s time to start!”
As soon as Lu Sheng's words fell on people's ears, everyone's eyes blurred, and a "whoosh" sounded in their ears, and then they found that Ding Xue had disappeared in an unknown moment.
Su Xing, who was also watching, was startled and quickly shifted his gaze from .asxs. to look towards the route leading to .asxs.
Later, he was surprised to find that Ding Xue's movement technique was not like running towards the finish line like those of them who were not cultivators of earth element energy, but was approaching the finish line in a way similar to the teleportation technique.
The ghost-like purple figure was seen taking one step at a time, and each time it disappeared, it would appear dozens of feet away, always standing on tiptoes, which looked very strange.
"Bang!"
When Ding Xue's figure appeared again and she had walked nearly half of the distance, the first golden bead finally exploded.
"Bang!"
However, when the second golden bead exploded, people saw that Ding Xue had already stepped on the edge of the end of the ring.
She even...maybe got there before the second golden bead exploded.
The whole place was quiet.
"Xuanguang Taoist Academy Ding Xue...two golden beads."
A hoarse and trembling voice, just like the first round of testing, slowly emerged from Lu Sheng's throat.
The inner sect elder did not shy away from the fact that his shocked expression was clearly seen by several deans on the high platform. His heart was surging at this time, and there was only one thought in his mind -
