If Su Xing, who was still fighting the giant beast in the inner demon world, knew that he was the only one in the outside world who persisted until the end, he would have chosen to immediately get swallowed by the inner demon and exit the inner demon world.
He didn't want to stay in this place where everything was dark and the atmosphere was very depressing.
However, in fact, he was here and knew nothing about anything in the outside world. The only thing he could see in his eyes that were red with the desire to kill was the giant mountain beast.
In the dark world, the young man in yellow robe is wearing light clothes and holding a sword, fighting against the ferocious beast as tall as the mountain peak.
In this battle, he not only used all the energy in his body, but also used all the swordsmanship and swordsmanship he had learned so far.
The handsome face of the young man walking around on the sword had been covered by a purple mask at some point.
Under the pressure of the inner demon environment, the Purple Demon Mask unexpectedly appeared on its own initiative without his control.
When the mask appeared, the giant mountain beast staring at Su Xing trembled as if it had seen something terrible, and felt that the aura on the young man's body seemed to suddenly escape into the void, completely disappearing into the world.
between.
The endless cold and desolation suddenly swept away all the inner demons and illusions. Under the purple light of the mask on Su Xing's face, the body of the mountain beast was frozen by the sudden cold, and a layer of rough skin suddenly appeared on the surface.
Frost.
The open and bloody mouth could not be closed in the end, and the fangs and teeth glowing with dazzling silver turned into countless powders the moment they touched the blade of Su Xing's sword, and were blown away by the gust of wind that came out of nowhere.
With one strike from the young man's sword, the shadow of the giant beast on the mountain finally turned into countless fragments, shattered into pieces in the dark sky and earth, and disappeared completely.
Su Xing, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly raised his head as if he remembered something, but the darkness around him suddenly swallowed him up without giving him time to breathe.
…
"call."
Su Xing took a deep breath, and the strong sunlight above his head shone into his eyes, forcing him to reach out and cover his forehead.
He looked around in confusion, and found that he had escaped from the dark space of inner demons at some point, and that what he was stepping on was the thick stone slab of the arena in Wanjian Square.
"it's over?"
Su Xing, who was just waking up from a dream, took a few breaths to realize that the humanoid ferocious beasts and mountain giant beasts he saw before were all nothingness. Only the cold wind blowing on his face at this moment was real.
"Congratulations to Su Xing, you persisted for a full one hundred and fifty breaths in this round of assessment, and you are finally selected as the winner of the last round of mental state assessment!"
An old voice suddenly fell into Su Xing's ears. He looked back and saw Lu Sheng leading two elders to his side with his hands behind his back.
What made him feel a little strange was that the three elders' faces were glowing red and their eyes were shining. They looked as if they wanted to eat him alive, which made him tremble in his heart.
"Am I the winner?"
Su Xing scratched his head and then realized that there was no other contestant standing in the ring except him, so he was the well-deserved winner.
"Yes, you must be tired after persisting in the inner demon world for such a long time. Come and celebrate with your fellow disciples in the audience. In a quarter of an hour, we will announce the final results of this academy examination.
." Yu Jing's voice was soft and she showed a heart-warming smile, which made Su Xing slightly startled.
At this time, Elder Yang Yu from Zhentian Peak suddenly stepped in front of the two of them, blocking Yu Jing's beauty.
"Go down and have a rest." After saying that, he turned back and glared at Yu Jing.
Su Xing nodded dumbly, walked slowly off the ring, and returned to the preparation table of the Taoist Academy.
"Junior Brother Su, congratulations. You are the champion of this round. You will definitely have a seat in the inner sect this time!"
"Song Xinghe of Shenji Taoist Academy and Baili Yangqiu of Xuanguang Taoist Academy didn't last as long as you. Junior Brother Su Xing, you really brought glory to our Taoist Academy this time!"
Along the way, many yellow-robed disciples sitting in the audience leaned out to cheer for Su Xing. He was stunned for a while, and in the end, he felt a little embarrassed.
After passing the auditorium of Yuyang Taoist Temple, Su Xing finally arrived at the preparation seat. Sitting on the seats in front of him were his senior brother Han An, senior sister Zhou Qinghan and lecturer Du Jia.
"Congratulations, junior brother." Han An and Zhou Qinghan said in unison.
Su Xing bowed his hands to the two of them, and after thanking them modestly, he came to Du Jia's side.
"You... are very good."
Du Jia, who was sitting on the stone chair, stared at Su Xing for a while before slowly spitting out these words. The middle-aged man's face was full of emotion and happiness.
Looking back a year ago when Su Xing first started, Dean Jiang Lingyan asked him to pay more attention to this new disciple and provide as much help as possible.
At first, Du Jia thought that Su Xing was some relative of Jiang Lingyan in the world. Although he didn't take Su Xing too seriously, he followed the dean's orders and carefully arranged the affairs of Su Xing's life and practice.
However, the longer Du Jia stayed in contact with Su Xing, the more he could sense the extraordinary qualities of this disciple. Ever since he picked an unknown rusty sword in the Lingjian Hall, Su Xing had been giving him a steady stream of surprises.
.
Whether it was the small fights within the sect, the mid-year demon-slaying event, the end-of-year experience with exotic treasures, or the current Third Avenue Academy exam, the abilities and qualities that Su Xing displayed were completely worthy of Jiang Lingyan's duel.
This disciple’s evaluation.
In just one year, this new disciple who joined Yuyang Taoist Academy has completed a round of transformation. Not only did he help Yuyang Taoist Academy win the first place in the demon-slaying event, he also won the first place in the two-day academy examination.
He outperformed the crowd and performed much better than many of the top ten disciples on the Earth Ranking.
Du Jia can only describe his ability as "astonishing".
But now, facing this disciple who had almost held the qualifications of the inner sect in his hands, he was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only say "not bad".
Su Xing looked grateful and bowed deeply to Du Jia, "Sir's earnest teachings over the past year will never be forgotten by this disciple."
"Okay...very good." A warm current surged in Du Jia's heart, and he nodded vigorously, "Get some rest quickly, the results will be out soon."
Su Xing immediately sat on the stone chair at the preparation table with the three people, waiting for the final result to be announced.
…
On the high platform in the north, three inner sect elders sat together and looked at a list filled with twenty-two names.
It seemed that they were preparing to cross out names one by one that were not eligible for selection in front of the three deans.
Yu Chuan and others were a little impatient at this time. They stood up and walked gently to the three elders, leaning forward to take a look.
"Yu Jing, Yang Yu, as usual, we only accept ten disciples this year. But there are twenty-two here. How about we cross out four names each?" Lu Sheng asked the two of them with a pen.
Yu Jing and Yang Yu nodded in unison.
"Very good, let me do it first. Wang Mao from Shenji Taoist Academy is too unstable in his Taoism. Let him hone his skills for another year."
With that said, Lu Sheng took up his pen and prepared to cross out Wang Mao's name.
"Hey, Elder Lu, wait a minute!" Yu Chuan's exclamation suddenly came from behind the three of them. He came to Lu Sheng in a hurry and said in a pleading tone: "Elder Lu, the king spear of our Taoist academy is...
He is a true swordsman genius. If he stays in the outer mountains for another year, wouldn’t it delay him? Besides, the three main peaks should all want such a good young talent, right?”
"Huh?" Lu Sheng glared at Yu Chuan, then turned to look at the other two, "I at Baidu Peak will never accept such a shallow-minded disciple, will your two disciples be accepted?"
Yu Jing and Yang Yu all shook their heads and said in unison: "I won't accept it."
"This..." Yu Chuan's embarrassed expression froze on his face, and he was speechless for a moment.
Lu Sheng didn't give him a chance to speak again, so he crossed out Wang Mao's name with his pen.
When a big underworld wiped out Wang Mao's name, it was also destined that this disciple of Shenji Taoist Academy would continue to practice in the outer mountains for another year.
And most people on the list will face this ending.
In the end, will these unfortunately unsuccessful disciples be able to concentrate on their studies and achieve excellent results in the next year's college examination, or will they just degenerate and return to the secular world after their Taoist hearts are broken?
All of this is uncertain, just like whether those disciples who are lucky enough to enter the inner mountain will have a bright future, it is also a question worth pondering.
