Opening: Me, I become stronger when I am beaten!

Ye Chen didn't care too much about the fact that the sect became the number one sect in the world, it was just a superficial reputation.

Of course, according to his guess, this is just such a ranking made by those affiliated sects in order to please Dao Yunzong.

In fact, even without this ranking, Dao Yunzong's recent momentum is enough to prove that its strength is no longer inferior to Taihengzong.

After going back, Ye Chen thought for a while, after all this turmoil, the development of the sect will have a period of stability.

At this time, it is just right to recruit a wave of disciples.

Now is indeed a more appropriate time.

Afterwards, he ordered a few elders to release a message that the Dao Yunzong's acceptance ceremony would be held a month later.

As soon as this news came out, there was an uproar in the Jianghu. The matter of recruiting disciples in the new sect was unremarkable, but he is the Dao Yunzong, and his reputation is too strong.

It can be said that the Jianghu cultivator heard the news, and within a few days, it caused a sensation.

Even the young masters of some affiliated sects and the sons of some elders did not inherit the sect's martial arts in their sect, but chose to join Dao Yunzong instead.

In a small town under Daoyunzong Mountain, the inn was already overcrowded.

After hearing the news that Dao Yunzong was about to accept disciples, many monks came here admiringly. Of course they didn't want to miss this kind of thing.

On the other side, in the hall of Taihengzong, after hearing the news that Daoyunzong was about to accept disciples, a group of high-level officials gathered in the meeting hall.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke first, and everyone's face was very solemn.

After a while, it was the second elder who spoke first, breaking the quiet atmosphere.

"Recently, I heard the news that Dao Yunzong recruited disciples. More than a dozen disciples have quit the sect and want to join Dao Yunzong. This is not a good sign."

He said solemnly: "If this goes on like this, I'm afraid it will affect the development of our Taiheng Sect, and if it is even more serious, the sect will decline."

Speaking of this, he took a special look at the ancestor sitting on the first seat, worried that he would make trouble.

But to his surprise, the ancestor was surprisingly calm, as if he didn't care at all.

The old ancestor pursed his lips, and then said: "When the apprentice acceptance ceremony comes, send a few disciples from the inner sect to mix in, and when they have learned the secret skills of the Dao Yun sect, they will immediately pass them back to the sect."

Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly their eyes lit up slightly.

If you can't beat them, it's a good way to learn what powerful martial arts they have.

At this time, a trace of greed flashed in the ancestor's eyes, but it was only a flash, and no one could catch it.

In his eyes, Ye Chen is a person with a trace of divinity, and the martial arts obtained from him must be extraordinary. If he obtains his secret skills, the benefits are self-evident.

One month later, the apprentice acceptance ceremony was held on time. At this time, there was a huge crowd of people outside the Dao Yunzong Mountain Gate, and the disciples who came to register were shoulder to shoulder.

Ye Chen stood on the mountain gate and looked at the monks who came to sign up. There were no less than [-] monks, and the scene was quite spectacular.

Compared with the disciples with strong strength, he pays more attention to the character of the disciples. Only those with strong hearts can reach higher heights.

As for the original strength, it does not play a decisive role in a person's growth. Although the quality of aptitude is important, it is not very important, because aptitude can be improved.

Only by being fearless can you soar in the sky. Ye Chen agrees with this sentence very much.

The apprentice acceptance ceremony began, and Ye Chen gradually walked out of the gate and stood in front of everyone.

At this time, it was very lively outside the mountain gate, and many monks were talking. This assessment was not announced in advance, but the current size of Dao Yunzong's residence cannot accommodate all the disciples.

Of course, many of them have never seen Ye Chen's face with their own eyes, and now they see it with their own eyes, and they can't help being surprised.

"I heard that Sect Master Ye is a leader of the younger generation. He is very young. I didn't expect him to be so young."

"Yeah, I'm younger than me, but I have such strength. I'm already in my 30s and I haven't reached Martial King yet. I've cultivated to pigs all these years."

Ye Chen raised his hand and pressed slightly, and the scene gradually became quiet.

He said loudly: "Everyone, it is a great honor for you to come to join us today."

He briefly said a few words on the scene, and then he got to the point.

"Today, I have prepared five checkpoints for everyone here, and if you can pass the first three checkpoints, you are eligible to join Dao Yunzong and become an official disciple.

This first step is to climb up the mountain gate. There are 99 steps in total. Although it seems that there is no difficulty, I have set up a formation here, that is, every step I take, I have to bear three times the pressure of myself. Please feel free Bar. "

After his words fell, everyone climbed up the stairs in one go.

This first hurdle tests the overall quality of the individual, as long as one's foundation is solid, one can pass it smoothly.

Soon, more than a hundred people passed half of the distance, but the number of people who were eliminated was even more, more than [-]%.

Seeing this scene, Ye Chen shook his head slightly. These people are really good and bad, but fortunately, most of the monks can be screened out in the first level.

The first level is to eliminate [-]% of the people, and the remaining people are less than [-].

Then, he assessed everyone's skills and innate aptitude.

Several of them even displayed Taihengzong's sect martial arts when fighting against the formation. Ye Chen recognized these Taihengzong people at a glance, controlled the formation and made it more difficult for them.

What Ye Chen didn't expect was that the difficulty was increased by [-]%, and they were eliminated directly.

The first three levels have passed, and there are less than 1000 people who have persisted until now. These people can be said to be the part at the top of the pyramid, and they surpass most monks in terms of overall strength and character.

In the assessment venue, the figure of a young man in white caught Ye Chen's attention.

While bearing the pressure of the formation, he was still tempering himself and stabilizing his cultivation.

Although his realm is only the Eighth Heaven of Wu Zun, Ye Chen has found a little bit of himself in him.

Although his strength is not the strongest, he is still moving forward, enduring many tests, just to become stronger.

So it has to be tempting.

"Who is this person?" Ye Chen pointed at the young man and asked the disciples beside him.

"This person, Zhao Xuanming, is just a casual cultivator with no background."

Ye Chen nodded. At this time, he had already passed halfway and was in the lead among the crowd.

But the most amazing thing is that everyone else looks exhausted, but he seems to have not exerted his full strength.

Seeing this, Ye Chen nodded slightly, putting Zhao Xuanming in his eyes.
