At this time, another person failed because he could not support the weight of the barbell. The fate of the failure was naturally to be ruthlessly eliminated.
As time went by, the number of people in the room decreased one by one. The dozen or so warriors all failed. No one could persevere. There was only one young man, kneeling there motionless with a barbell on his shoulders.
His eyes were full of tenacity and strength, and he always looked forward. His lips were tightly closed, and he did not make a sound. However, the firm and upright back was a kind of resistance, as if he was making a silent roar towards fate.
Chen Song and Zhou Ren looked at the young man impatiently. Chen Song finally couldn't bear it anymore and cursed: I didn't expect this stinky Nie Zhenkun to be able to handle it. It's been almost three days.
Zhan Chen was shocked and said: Brother Chen, you mean he has been here for three days and three nights.
Yes, because of him, Senior Brother Zhou and we couldn't close the door properly, so we had to accompany him. Chen Song said sternly. Then his expression changed, and he smiled and said to Zhan Chen: "Junior Brother Zhan, you can first find someone in the city."
Stay in a hotel temporarily and wait until the 15th of this month. I will take you and other warriors who have passed the examination to the Tianjian Peak of our Linghe Sect. You don’t have to suffer here with us.
Zhan Chen shook his head and said with a smile: No, I regret meeting my two senior brothers late, so I am willing to chat with them.
Zhan Chen said this because he was not interested in drinking. In fact, he had already had enough of the conversation. The reason why he chose to stay was because he wanted to see what the fate of Nie Zhenkun, who was kneeling on the ground, would be.
After a while, Nie Zhenkun suddenly said loudly: "Two Immortal Masters, I have been lifting this barbell for three days. I should have passed your assessment. Please let me join the Linghe Sect."
Chen Song was stunned, got up from his seat, and asked: Have you really persisted for three days?
It's absolutely true, didn't the two immortal masters see it? Nie Zhenkun became a little excited.
Chen Song turned around and asked Zhou Ren: Brother Zhou, I'm so sorry, I have a bad memory. Then Nie Zhenkun said that he had passed the assessment. Is this the case?
Zhou Ren pretended to be angry and said: No way, this guy is obviously lying. He just came here in the morning, and he didn't even have a full day. Where did he get three days?
Chen Song turned around and smiled at Nie Zhenkun: Boy, did you hear clearly? You didn't even last one day, how can you say it was three days?
You are going too far. I have clearly passed the test. Nie Zhenkun's eyes were filled with angry flames.
Oh, who can prove it? Chen Song asked angrily.
Nie Zhenkun didn't answer anymore, because there was really no one who could stand up and say a fair word for him.
Zhan Chen, on the other hand, is not easy to stand out. Firstly, he is not yet a disciple of the Linghe Sect. Secondly, he has just arrived in the morning and obviously has no say in this matter.
Let's do this. Brother Zhou and I discussed it. If you can persist for two more days, I will let you pass, Chen Song said proudly.
Zhan Chen couldn't stand listening to it for another two days. Nie Zhenkun had clearly reached his limit. I'm afraid it would be a bit reluctant to hold on for another hour.
Unexpectedly, the guy gritted his teeth and said: Okay, just two days, as long as you can enter Linghe Sect, you can do whatever you want.
Oops, why bother? What if you join the sect? You can't become an immortal anyway, it's just a waste of effort. Chen Song shook his head and said.
Zhan Chen couldn't bear to see Nie Zhenkun kneeling on the ground, and asked Chen Song in a low voice: Senior brother Chen, why do you insist on not letting him pass the assessment?
Chen Song sneered and said: Huh, Junior Brother Zhan, you have to understand that he is a useless spiritual root warrior and has no chance of becoming an immortal. If such a person is allowed to enter the sect, wouldn't it be a joke?
Zhan Chen pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: Senior Brother Chen, Senior Brother Zhou, you two must be tired from guarding this assessment point all the time. Why don't you go outside tonight and relax? Junior Brother, I am not talented, and I am willing to share the worries of the two Senior Brothers and stay up all night.
.
Chen Song was stunned and said with a smile: How can this be done? Junior brother, you have not officially joined our Linghe Sect.
Why not? Everything can be changed. There is only one Nie Zhenkun here. Why do the two senior brothers bother so much?
Seeing that he was willing to take the initiative to please, Chen Song and Zhou Ren couldn't help but be overjoyed and said: Junior Brother, I didn't expect you to really be a good person. Don't worry, we two will not treat you badly.
Then I would like to thank my two senior brothers for supporting me. Zhan Chen cupped his hands and said with a smile.
After sending the two of them out of the door, Zhan Chen said to Nie Zhenkun, who was still kneeling on the ground: Okay, they are gone, you can put down the barbell and rest.
Unexpectedly, Nie Zhenkun stared at him and sneered: Huh, I don't need your pity. Can I have a high profile just by possessing a high-grade spiritual root? To put it bluntly, you, Chen Song and Zhou Ren are all the same thing, I'm just the same person.
I won’t fall into your scheme. If I succeed in cultivating immortality in the future, I will definitely trample all of you under my feet.
Zhan Chen could clearly see the jealousy towards him in his eyes, and he couldn't help but shudder in his heart. He was a very stubborn and arrogant guy, with a sharp edge and would rather break than bend.
Although, at present, it seems that Nie Zhenkun has useless spiritual roots and may have no hope of becoming an immortal in his life. But Zhan Chen deeply understands the truth that everything is possible. Patriarch Bodhidharma is an example. He even had a premonition that,
If Nie Zhenkun is allowed to enter the Linghe Sect, I am afraid that he will definitely become a serious problem for him in the future.
Now, he has shown hostility to himself, and the most important thing he should do is to completely kill him before he grows up, but Zhan Chen somehow can't do it.
Looking at Nie Zhenkun's stoic back, Zhan Chen naturally thought of his past self. This scene was so similar. When he was a child, he had experienced the pain of having his meridians destroyed, and he had also been despised and ridiculed by others.
Suddenly, he suddenly realized: Yes, what am I still afraid of? I have a higher starting point than him. What I should do is not to think about how to guard against him, but to help him. Maybe he will become
A good whetstone makes me grow faster.
However, Zhan Chen now will not know that because of his decision, he will suffer a lot in the future.
For two days in a row, Nie Zhenkun insisted on maintaining a motionless posture holding the barbell. Zhan Chen also kept an eye on him, knowing that with his perseverance, he had far exceeded his own limits.
Two days later, Zhan Chen said to Chen Song and Zhou Ren again: Senior Brother Chen, Senior Brother Zhou, I have been watching Nie Zhenkun these past two days, and he has finally persisted.
Chen Song originally wanted to give Nie Zhenkun some more problems, but he didn't expect Zhan Chen to directly remind him of this matter. In front of Zhan Chen, he and Zhou Ren couldn't do anything outrageous again, so they swept
He glanced at Nie Zhenkun, who was still holding the barbell on the ground, and said: Since Junior Brother Zhan has said it, I'll let you pass.
As soon as he heard these words, Nie Zhenkun's face showed a hint of relief. He let go of his hands and the barbell hit the ground heavily. Then he fell down and completely lost consciousness.
Zhan Chen hurriedly stepped forward and felt his pulse. He was shocked. At this time, Nie Zhenkun was almost at the end of his life. Maybe if he persisted for a while, his life would be in danger, so he hurriedly started from Qiankun.
He took out a few pills from the bag and gave them to him to take.
Chen Song looked at what Zhan Chen had done, shook his head, and sighed: Junior Brother Zhan, you are such a good person. In fact, there is no need to waste your energy on such a useless person.
Zhan Chen just smiled.
A few more days passed, and finally on the 15th, three more people came to the Linghe Sect's assessment point one after another, one man and two women, both of whom had the perfect cultivation of the Martial Saint, plus the warriors who passed the assessment.
Chen and Nie Zhenkun are the five candidates who will be introduced to the Linghe Sect this time.
When everyone came, Chen Song and Zhou Ren introduced each other. Chen Song first said to Zhan Chen and Nie Zhenkun: Zhan Chen, Nie Zhenkun, this is Li Lang, Lin Shufen and Guo Mei. Then he introduced Zhan Chen and Nie Zhenkun.
Introduced to the other three.
Zhan Chen silently wrote down the other three people. Li Lang was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, Lin Shufen was a young woman who looked to be in her thirties, and Guo Mei looked quite young, only in her twenties.
, the cultivation level is also the lowest, only the middle level of Martial Saint, and he is the only one among the five who has not reached the Great Perfection of Martial Saint.
And he had learned from Chen Song before that the qualifications of these three people could only be considered average, and they all only had middle-grade spiritual roots.
Indeed, warriors with good qualifications usually choose to join those medium-sized immortal sects. However, like myself, those who have high-grade spiritual roots and choose to join the Linghe sect may only appear in several years, so such talents are often subject to
Zongli attaches great importance to it.
Looking at the other four people silently, a strange color flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes. He already knew his and their future destiny. After joining the sect, he would be immediately accepted as a disciple by an elder-level figure, and he would be carefully trained to break through to the sect.
Realm, joining the inner sect is almost a certainty.
The other three people with middle-grade spiritual roots will be placed in the outer sect and enjoy ordinary treatment. The probability of breaking through to the realm of Taoism is less than 30%.
As for Nie Zhenkun, the worst situation is that he will be assigned as a handyman and will have to do menial and tiring work every day, with almost no time to practice.
Nie Zhenkun's experience couldn't help but remind Zhan Chen of the bitter past when he first joined the Golden Elephant Sect, but now his positions were reversed.
Okay, everyone knows it clearly, we just need to wait here for the arrival of the person who will take over the sect. Chen Song said.
Zhan Chen thought for a moment and then asked: Senior Brother Chen, why does our sect set up a permanent assessment point in Liujin City? I think Jade Xiao Palace comes directly to the city to recruit people.
Chen Song smiled bitterly and said: Junior Brother Zhan, this is the difference between medium-sized sects and our small sects. The number of medium-sized sects is very small, and everyone is rushing to get in, but small sects like our Linghe Sect cannot be so relaxed.
, you have to take the initiative to recruit cultivation geniuses like you. The number of geniuses is very small, and every small sect will try their best to compete for it. This is also the fundamental reason why a sect can be strong.
So how many small sects like our Linghe Sect are there in Conch Bay? Zhan Chen asked again.
There are nine such as the Evergreen Sect, Jiangxia Island Xuanyin Sect, and the Demon Sect is not included. Chen Song said.
Nine sects, so many
Yes, but medium-sized sects only have one Yuxiaodian, so each sect will try its best to recruit qualified practitioners. Not only our Linghe Sect, but also the other eight small sects have set up long-term assessments in Liujin City.
points to compete for talents from all over the world.
While they were talking, suddenly two young men wearing the same clothes as Chen Song and Zhou Ren walked in from the door.
