Being a villain is also popular in the world of self-cultivation

Hearing the bell ringing, some of the immortal seekers put down their pens confidently, some were pale and flustered, but most of them still stopped their pens. However, there were still some youths on the field who seemed to have not finished writing, and put down the pens in their hands. Squeezed hard, trying to write down the final answer.

"The fifth tester on the north side of the first row, the seventh tester on the north side of the third row... the third tester on the south side of No. 15 row." The disciples of Cheng Jianzong glanced around on the stage and reported one after another A dozen or so individuals, "If you don't stop writing within the specified time, it will be considered eliminated."

Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar. While thanking that they had stopped writing early, they cast sympathetic glances at the immortal seekers who had been named.

All the people who were named looked bleak, but those who made it here were not of weak minds. They knew that they violated the rules, so they obediently left the examination room under the guidance of several cultivators.

More than a dozen people left, and now the number of immortal seekers has changed from nearly 5000 at the beginning to about 150 people left, and Cheng Jianzong has always recruited only [-] disciples.

In other words, the remaining 150 people, in this comprehension test, have to leave nearly half of them.

When reviewing the answer sheet, the waiting testees looked anxious. After all, it was just a single word, and no one could confirm whether their answer was correct.

Chu Silin wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked anxiously at the practitioners on the stage, his voice was a little dry, he lowered his voice and asked Shen Chi, "Are you sure you can pass the test?"

"En." Shen Chi stood up straight, but his eyes in the cloak were closed, as if he was asleep.

Although the word on the answer sheet just now did not require spiritual support, he spent a lot of mental energy on each stroke. In addition to the physical and energy consumption during the previous test, given his current physical condition, no matter what In any respect, it has reached the limit.

Still standing here now is entirely supported by his long-standing will.

Apparently he didn't hear the lethargy in Shen Chi's words, Chu Silin looked at Shen Chi in surprise, and was about to ask in detail, when his attention was suddenly attracted by the actions of several cultivators on the stage.

I saw that the cultivators who were divided into five groups to review everyone's answer sheets gathered around the head of the elder brother, and all of them looked at a piece of paper with burning eyes. Looking down the stage, it took a long time before they dispersed.

The performance of all the cultivators made all the immortal seekers waiting for the verdict breathed a sigh of relief, but because they stood far away and were blocked by someone, they couldn't see the answer sheet on the stage clearly and couldn't hear any voices. It can only be vaguely guessed that what caused their discussion was an answer sheet.

This conjecture made the expressions of the teenagers who came from a family of comprehension and knew everything about this test even more arrogant.

At this time, a tall and thin young man of about fourteen or fifteen came out from the crowd and stopped in front of Shen Chi. I just noticed you, you don’t seem to have written anything, can’t you? But it doesn’t matter, you are still young, and you can come this year only ten years later. At your age, it is already very good to be able to do this .”

Chu Silin frowned. There seemed to be nothing wrong with what this man said at first, but why did it get harsher the more he heard it?It seems that both inside and outside the words are satirizing Shen Chi's failure to pass the test.

"The way to practice lies in essence."

Just as Chu Silin was thinking about what was wrong, he only heard Shen Chi say so.

"You mean we answered too many answers, but we acted impetuously?" The thin and tall boy seemed to laugh angrily at Shen Chi's words, and the corner of his mouth curled up with contempt, "Unexpectedly, you are quite ambitious at such a young age." .”

"Thank you." Shen Chi's tone was lukewarm, and he yawned after he finished speaking, without even looking at the boy.

Apparently, he didn't expect that Shen Chi not only didn't refute himself, but also casually thanked himself. The sarcasm that the young man hadn't yet uttered was instantly stuck in his throat, and the superficial friendliness could no longer be disguised. He flicked his sleeves and snorted, " Don't you just rely on a superb root? When the result comes out, let's see how arrogant you are!"

After the boy left, Shen Chi raised his eyes, looked at his distraught back with a blank expression, and continued to close his eyes to rest his mind after a while.

About half an hour later, several practitioners divided the answer sheet into two parts. In the end, Yun Yu held a roll of bamboo slips, and he spread the bamboo slips, "The test takers whose names I read next, please come out."

"Chen Tianli, Zhu Qiwen... Zhang Yuheng..."

As Yunyu read out more and more names, the expressions of the remaining people became more and more flustered, and their eyes were fixed on the bamboo slip in his hand, wishing to stare at it to see what was inside. Does not have a name of its own.

"Zhang Chiyang, Chu Silin..."

Hearing his own name, Chu Silin looked at Shen Chi with unanimous concern. He is already No. 70, and there are five places left. If there is no more Shen Chi's name, then...

"Chu Silin, please come out."

Chu Silin obviously wanted to stay beside Shen Chi and wait for the result with him, until Yun Yu called his name for the third time, he was still a little hesitant, at this moment, he suddenly felt a thrust from his back, although that force It wasn't too big, but at the moment his attention was wandering between Yun Yu and Shen Chi, and he was accidentally pushed and staggered, stumbled into the group of disciples who passed the test.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Chu Silin's embarrassment, a burst of good-natured laughter came from the group of testees. Chu Silin touched his head and smiled with everyone with a blushing face, but he never left Shen Chi.

He should be able to pass... .

Thinking of Shen Chi's response to the young man's words just now, Chu Silin removed the layer of uncertainty in his heart, and showed a big smile to Shen Chi.

Shen Chi put his hand back into the cloak, his eyes didn't stay on Chu Silin's too bright smile, but he just moved his sore wrist.

"Yuan Lie, Mu Quzhi, Bai Guang, Yang Tianhe."

Shen Chi did not appear in the next four names.

Only one spot left.

The immortal seekers whose names were not read were all sweating and their hearts were in their throats. They didn't fall down under Yun Yuwei's pressure before, but now their nerves tensed up, and they were all on the verge of falling, as if they were about to fall at any time. It looks like it's about to fall down.

On the other hand, Shen Chi still lowered his head halfway, as if he didn't care at all that he couldn't pass, Chu Silin swallowed, and finally decided to trust Shen Chi.

Although the two had known each other not long ago, and had never even seen Shen Chi's complete appearance, he subconsciously felt that Shen Chi was not that kind of person who could only talk big.

Because of the cover of the cloak, Yun Yu couldn't see Shen Chi's expression very clearly. He just felt that he should be very calm now, and he couldn't help admiring the child even more, but then he thought of the answer sheet he handed in, and his mouth burst into bitterness. .

But since the child chose this path and passed the test successfully, he should keep his promise and give him the right to enter.

As for the future, let's talk about it later.

"Shen Chi." After thinking about it for a moment, Yun Yu read out the last name and closed the bamboo slips, "The above are the candidates who passed the test this time."

Shen Chi was not surprised by this result, he pulled his cloak, and under the eyes of everyone, as the last tester who passed the test, he stepped out of the queue unhurriedly.

"I don't accept it! How can this kid pass the test? He clearly didn't write anything on the answer sheet! Could it be because of his bones? It's not fair!"

At this time, a high-pitched boy's voice broke through the crowd and reached everyone's ears.

And the one who made the sound was the tall and thin young man who had just mocked Shen Chi's impossibility to pass the test. Originally, he was full of confidence in himself, even when there was still the last place left, he was sure that it was him.

But this weird kid in a cloak actually took his place!

This time is good, as soon as the young man shouted, the prospective disciples of Chengjianzong who passed the test were quite stable, but the eyes they looked at Shen Chi were much more complicated, while the side that failed the test exploded in an instant , There are more and more critics.

Hearing the clamor behind him, Shen Chi yawned, but his footsteps did not stop.

[Host, in order to better complete the counterattack mission, it is recommended that you give a strong counterattack to those who questioned you at this time. ] The system, which had been silent for a long time, spoke now.

Thinking of the solution proposed by the system after saying this sentence last time, Shen Chi couldn't help doubting the function of the system, but he still asked, [Any suggestion? 】

[It is recommended that the host prove himself in terms of strength, and 013 can temporarily provide the host with any needed props. 】

A sharp light flashed in Shen Chi's half-closed eyes, 【Even if I need the artifact, you can find it for me? 】

[Yes, the host, but it can only be temporary, and it will be recycled after use. 】

After hearing what the system said, Shen Chi reassessed it in his heart.

The divine weapon is a magic weapon higher than the fairy weapon in the legend. After two lives, Shen Chi has only heard of it in the legend at most. There was a rumor in the previous life that Shen Wuhuo had a divine weapon, and the system gave him This is indeed confirmed in the plot.

It was a sword, and it was also Shen Wuhuo's natal magic weapon.

But what surprised Shen Chi was that he had fought against Shen Wuhuo many times, and although he was defeated by Shen Wuhuo's men every time, it was not always a disastrous defeat.In fact, he had injured Shen Wuhuo many times, and even almost killed Shen Wuhuo once, but in these battles, he had never seen Shen Wuhuo use the legendary sword. artifact.

In his previous life, Shen Chi didn't know whether Shen Wuhuo really had a divine weapon, and he never cared about it. Even after getting the plot in this life, his first reaction was that Shen Wuhuo looked down on him, so he suppressed the divine weapon and didn't want to use it. A real duel with him.

For this reason, Shen Chi took some time to extract from his memory the scenes of many battles with Shen Wuhuo in his previous life and the scenes mentioned in the plot one by one.

Comparing the two, Shen Chi found that except for the last battle, although the results of the previous battles were basically the same, he lost, but the difference was that in the plot, he lost terribly, and every time he was seriously injured and ran for his life in a hurry , but the fact of his previous life was that although he couldn't defeat Shen Wuhuo, he could always hurt him, and in most cases... Shen Wuhuo's injuries were heavier than his.

As for the reason, Shen Chi has not come to a definite conclusion for the time being, but what he can be sure of is that, as far as Shen Wuhuo destroyed his mother's belongings, unless there is a reason he cannot refuse, he and Shen Wuhuo , this life is doomed to be incompatible.

Even if he couldn't kill him, he didn't want to have anything to do with him.

[May I ask the host, do you need help? 】

Breaking free from his thoughts, Shen Chi replied, 【No, someone will solve this matter. 】

The system seems to have some doubts, [Why? 】

Hearing this question, Shen Chi paused for a moment before replying, [The words of the saint, gentlemen love their mouths, and peacocks love their feathers. 】

[What the host said is very true. 】

It took only a few breaths for Shen Chi to talk with the system, and the time was just enough for him to stand in the queue of prospective disciples. Seeing Shen Chi approaching, those disciples moved aside one after another as if they had seen the plague, but Chu Silin hurriedly came forward and stretched out his hand to think. He patted Shen Chi on the shoulder, but he patted it empty, and retracted his hand. He smiled nonchalantly and said, "Congratulations, I knew you would definitely pass! That person must be jealous of you to say that, don't take it to heart superior."

Avoiding Chu Silin's palm, Shen Chi nodded, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, "Thank you."

Seeing Shen Chi's small smile half hidden under the cloak, Chu Silin's eyes flickered, and then he said: "No, you're welcome."

When Shen Chi turned his gaze away, Chu Silin stretched out his hand and patted his hot face, and it took him a while to finally regain his composure.

At the end of the conversation, without asking why the other party was in a trance, Shen Chi continued to rest with his head half-lowered and his eyes closed, as if those people were not condemning him at the moment.

Just as the denunciation intensified, and when the eliminated group tried to tear it apart, a burst of power suddenly fell on the group of troublemakers, and the venue fell silent for a while.

At the same time, Yun Yu looked at the boy who caused trouble first, "You were the one who first raised doubts."

After being seen by Yun Yu, the thin and tall boy's eyes flickered, and then he said loudly: "Yes!"

"reason."

"I don't accept it! I didn't see him write the whole process when he was answering the question just now, but why did he pass it?"

"Oh? Then, come up." Yun Yu beckoned to the young man, signaling him to come to the stage, and then looked around the crowd, "Others who have doubts, also come up."

In a short while, there were 30 people standing on the stage, most of them were those who were eliminated, and there were only one or two prospective disciples.

"That's why you didn't pass." Yun Yu pointed to the big blue stone, "Look carefully at this word, and tell me, what did you see? Since you raised the doubt first, you come first."

The thin and tall boy who was named by Yun Yu first stared at Shen Chi in the audience before taking a step forward, his eyes fixed on the word 'sword'.

Just standing far away, he only felt that the word was very majestic, but now that he was standing closer, he had a completely different feeling. Just looking at the word, he felt as if a mountain was pressing on his heart, making him breathless. Out of breath, he wanted to run away, but he couldn't move his feet, so he could only hold back on the spot, his face flushed, until Yun Yu asked him to back down again, and finally he was able to catch his breath.

"Our test is comprehension." Seeing that everyone had finished observing, Yun Yu said again, "Just now you were some distance away from this stone, so most of the answers were relatively vague, so we selected the top [-] candidates."

Even though he knew in his heart that his answer would definitely pass the test, the thin and tall boy still did not give up and pointed his finger at the audience, "What about him? I was standing behind him to answer the question just now, and I didn't see him answering the whole time!"

At the end of the direction his finger is pointing, it is Shen Chi.

The author has something to say: Shen Wuhuo: QAQ I really didn't hit Koike on purpose!How could I be willing to hit Koike!

Shen Chi: Hehe, I swear to be incompatible.

PS: "A gentleman loves his mouth, and a peacock loves his feathers" comes from Han Liu Xiang's "Shuo Yuan Miscellaneous Words", to the effect that a gentleman pays attention to whether his speech is appropriate, and peacocks love their feathers very much.Here Xiaochi is used as a metaphor for Cheng Jianzong. After all, the bigger the sect, the more attention it pays to prestige.
