Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

After measuring bone age, Daluo Sword Sect’s enrollment assessment has three stages.

The first level is the Mirror of All Beings.

This is a lower-grade heavenly magic weapon passed down from generation to generation in the Daluo Sword Sect, which can test one's state of mind and will.

You must know that in the Tianxing Realm, there is no such thing as spiritual roots to determine a person's aptitude for cultivation.

Determine a person's talent for cultivation.

It mainly depends on the person's state of mind and will.

This will help determine how far this person can go.

After all, some people cultivate very quickly, but their state of mind and will are not good. Once they encounter setbacks, they will never recover. Such people will find it difficult to achieve great things.

The second is the speed of cultivation.

If a person's state of mind and aptitude are excellent and his cultivation speed is fast, then this person's talent for cultivation is excellent.

Of course, there is one exception.

They are people who are born with spiritual bodies. Such people are favored by the Great Dao and are born with excellent talents for cultivation.

However, the seven major forces are all trying to recruit such a person, so he will definitely not be reduced to participating in the enrollment examination of Daluo Sword Sect.

In the air outside the mountain gate of Daluo Sword Sect, a magnificent prism was suspended in the air. Below it stood a young man who looked to be in his early twenties, but was actually a powerful fourth realm warrior who was over three hundred years old. He was the elder in charge of enrollment in Daluo Sword Sect, named Suo Changsheng.

As he explained the rules, all the young men who came to take the test were swallowed up by the Mirror of All Beings.

The boy who is swallowed will fall into the illusion woven by the Mirror of All Beings.

The person who first breaks through the illusion and emerges from the mirror of all living beings has a better state of mind and will.

After Chen Nuo entered the Mirror of All Beings, he quickly fell into an illusion that was testing his state of mind and will.

But before coming to the Tianxing Realm, Chen Nuo had been tempering his body with heavenly thunder for nearly a month in order to refine his soul. During this month, he gritted his teeth and persevered. His willpower was definitely beyond doubt.

The state of mind has a certain relationship with the soul.

Chen Nuo practiced the most advanced spiritual power technique, which was not difficult for him.

Therefore, he became the fifth person to emerge from the Mirror of All Beings.

"Yes, you are only at the first level of the Spiritual Platform, but your will is so superior."

Suo Changsheng checked the roster and confirmed Chen Nuo's identity and age.

Then, based on the time when Chen Nuo came out of the Realm of All Living Beings, he was given a score.

For example, if Daluo Sword Sect recruits 50 new disciples, only those who rank in the top in the total score of the three levels can join Daluo Sword Sect.

“Ah, no.”

As time went by, more and more young people walked out of the Mirror of All Beings with fear on their faces.

"Chen Nuo, when did you come out?"

Su Tie came out and looked at Chen Nuo who had been outside for a long time, and asked with surprise and joy.

"Brother Chen came out a long time ago. I just asked around and he was the fifth one to come out, much earlier than us."

Before Chen Nuo could speak, Lu Youan, a young man who had been friends with Chen Nuo before, couldn't help but start talking.

Ever since Chen Nuo fabricated that he was the offspring of a powerful fifth realm master, Lu Youan had wanted to curry favor with Chen Nuo. Now that he knew that Chen Nuo was the fifth one to come out, he was even more convinced that Chen Nuo was the offspring of a powerful fifth realm master, so he spontaneously became Chen Nuo's loyal younger brother.

If those who came up to make friends with Chen Nuo before were only attracted by Chen Nuo's "social skills", now, the state of mind and will shown by Chen Nuo made them want to make friends with him more deeply.

As a result, the group of young men who originally did not know each other have now started to form small groups.

Soon, an hour was coming.

According to what Suo Changsheng said before, if anyone has not come out of the Changsheng Mirror after an hour, they will be eliminated directly.

Chen Nuo looked anxious because his brother Chen Zhong had not come out yet.

Less than half an hour before the hour was about to end, Chen Zhong came out, looking very embarrassed.

Although Chen Zhong came out at the specified time, it was too late to enter the next level. Suo Changsheng was not optimistic about him and gave him a very low score.

The second level, the Bodhi tree.

Retreat tests one’s understanding.

The Daluo Sword Sect has a Bodhi tree that is tens of thousands of years old. Candidates who pass the first level need to come under the Bodhi tree, pick a Bodhi leaf, and hold it in their mouths. They will be scored based on who enters the state of enlightenment first and who has the longest enlightenment time.

Similarly, those who have not entered the state of enlightenment within an hour will be eliminated.

The first person to enter the state of enlightenment was Ye Xiyue.

She was also the first person to emerge from the mirror of all living beings.

"She is worthy of being the sect leader's daughter. Not only is she outstanding in appearance, but she is also extremely talented. Once she enters the sect, I wonder how many disciples will be obsessed with her." Suo Changsheng commented in his heart.

Chen Nuo was the third person to enter the state of enlightenment, and also attracted Suo Changsheng's attention.

Chen Zhong was the eighty-ninth one, standing in the back. Suo Changsheng didn't even look at him.

But Chen Zhong's subsequent performance surprised Suo Changsheng greatly.

Although Chen Zhong entered the state of enlightenment later.

However, after he entered the state of enlightenment, the enlightenment lasted the longest time.

Even surpassed Ye Xiyue.

Ye Xiyue maintained his enlightenment for two incense sticks.

Chen Nuo is a few minutes younger than Ye Xiyue.

But Chen Zhong managed to hold on for half an hour.

Therefore, in the second level, Chen Zhong's final score was below Ye Xiyue and above Chen Nuo, ranking second.

The total score is ranked 21.

If he hadn't faltered at the end of the third level, this result would have been enough to allow him to join the Daluo Immortal Sect.

It's just a pity
Suo Changsheng felt sorry for Chen Zhong and Chen Nuo.

Because he could see that these two people were both at the first level of Lingtai.

But Ye Xiyue is at the fourth level of the spiritual platform.

The other young men were also generally on the second and third levels of Lingtai.

Among all the candidates who passed the first two levels, Chen Nuo and Chen Zhong had the lowest levels.

However, the assessment for the third level is actual combat, and the use of magic weapons is not allowed.

The higher the ranking, the higher the score.

However, the suppression of levels cannot be solved by state of mind and understanding.

But what happened next made Suo Changsheng misjudge.

Chen Nuo and Chen Zhong were actually able to challenge opponents of higher levels.

Especially Chen Zhong, who was only at the first level of Lingtai, but when fighting against Ye Xiyue, he was able to suppress Ye Xiyue.

"What a strength."

Ye Xiyue frowned slightly. She was only fifteen years old, but she was already tall and graceful, with bright eyes and a lovely appearance.

She had just resisted a punch from Chen Zhong, and her arm was still a little numb, the kind of numbness that came from an electric shock.

"Seven Stars Seize the Acupoint!"

Ye Xiyue took out an ordinary sword from the storage magic weapon and displayed her sword skills. She was not an ordinary person without any background. Before she joined the Daluo Sword Sect, she had already learned the sword skills of the Daluo Sword Sect.

The sword thrust out, turning into a sky full of sword shadows, cutting through the air and slashing directly at Chen Zhong. Most of the young men who came to participate in the Daluo Sword Sect's assessment came from small families, or were the offspring of some small and powerful casual cultivators, and could not learn any powerful magical powers at all.

A "rich girl" like Ye Xiyue's can be regarded as a dimensionality reduction attack on these young men.

Not only is his realm strong, but the supernatural powers he has learned are also strong.

"Chen Zhongzhong has lost."

“Even if I lose, I’m still amazing, okay? I’m only at the first level of the Spiritual Platform, but I was able to fight Ye Xiyue for so many rounds. If it were me, I would definitely lose.”

"."

Just when everyone thought that Chen Zhong was bound to lose, Chen Nuo also felt so.

After all, the two brothers have never experienced any actual combat, and they don’t have a clear understanding of each other’s strength.

A dazzling flash of lightning burst out from Chen Zhong's body, so dazzling that the young men watching the battle could not open their eyes.

When the lightning faded away, Chen Zhong was seen wearing a dazzling lightning armor, his whole body enveloped by lightning, and the sword shadows in the sky had disappeared.

"what happened?"

"This armor is so handsome."

"Aren't we not allowed to use magic weapons? Isn't this cheating?"

"."

The young men all looked confused.

Only Suo Changsheng and Ye Xiyue saw this scene clearly.

Chen Zhong is not cheating. This should be a battle armor condensed from a magical power, not a magic weapon.

He was surprised by the armor's defense.

The Seven Stars did not leave any trace on the thunder armor.

"how is this possible?"

Ye Xiyue opened her red lips slightly, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her pretty little face.

However, Chen Zhong did not give Ye Xiyue too much time to think.

He knew that his thunder armor could not last too long and he had to fight quickly.

Wearing the Thunder Strike Armor, his speed and strength were greatly improved. He performed the Dragon Step, quickly arrived in front of Ye Xiyue, and punched her.

"What a fast movement."

Ye Xiyue's expression changed and she dodged quickly.

She had directly resisted Chen Zhong's punch and had learned her lesson, knowing that he was very strong.

Soon, the two sides fought for dozens of rounds, and Chen Zhong, who had originally had the upper hand over Ye Xiyue, began to lose the upper hand.

After all, the gap in realm between the two sides is too great. Chen Zhong has just entered the stage of the Eternal Immortal Body and lacks combat experience. It is still unrealistic to want to make up for this gap.

“It’s time to admit defeat.”

Seeing the thunder armor on Chen Zhong dissipate, Ye Xiyue shouted softly and launched a fierce counterattack.

As the daughter of the sect master, Ye Xiyue was undoubtedly proud. With her status, she could have directly become a disciple of the Daluo Sword Sect, but she disdained to take the back door and insisted on participating in the Daluo Sword Sect's assessment. In her heart, she even wanted to be the first among the freshmen in this assessment, or even the first among the three levels.

She was already first in the first two levels, so she would never allow herself to lose to others in the third level where she was most confident.

"Sword Breaking Style."

Ye Xiyue shouted loudly, and then his whole body rose into the air, standing in mid-air, holding his sword high, his clothes fluttering, which was very touching.

"The first move, opening the sky!"

Ye Xiyue's red lips trembled, and the long sword in her hand emitted a crisp sound. A rainbow light burst out from the long sword and shot straight into the sky.

The next second, the clouds in the sky broke open, and an oppressive atmosphere swept across the world. A large amount of spiritual energy between heaven and earth gathered towards the broken clouds in the sky.

In the blink of an eye, a giant sword whose full appearance could not be seen emerged from the broken clouds, revealing its sharp edge.

Such a shocking scene made the freshmen below gasp.

"Xiyue has even successfully mastered the sword-breaking style!" Suo Changsheng couldn't help but open his mouth wide when he saw this scene.

Although the name of the Sword-Breaking Style does not sound domineering, it is a magical power created by the founder of the Daluo Sword Sect. It is one of the three top magical powers of the Daluo Sword Sect and is extremely difficult to practice.

He never expected that Xiyue had succeeded in cultivation at the second level.

He is worthy of being the descendant of the ancestor.

Suo Changsheng withdrew his gaze from Ye Xiyue and turned to look at Chen Zhong.

The power of Ye Xiyue's magical power was too strong. He was ready to save Chen Zhong's life in case he couldn't handle it.

The Daluo Sword Sect's assessments never result in casualties, this is its reputation.

"Brother Chong, admit defeat now."

Chen Nuo couldn't help but yelled.

He already felt the pressure of the sword.

Moreover, the attack range of this sword is extremely large, and Chen Zhong has no way to dodge it.

Unless you leave the competition venue, but that would also be considered as admitting defeat.

"I haven't lost yet."

A hint of stubbornness emerged on Chen Zhong's face. He knew that his talent was not as good as his brothers, but his father had high hopes for him, and he would never let his father down.

At that time, he didn't know Suo Changsheng's scoring system. With his score and his performance in this level, he could still enter Daluo Sword Sect even if he lost. He only knew that he performed very poorly in the first level and it took him a long time to enter the state of enlightenment in the second level, so he would never allow himself to lose in the third level.

"drink"

Chen Zhong roared, and his upper robe suddenly exploded, revealing his muscular chest with lightning patterns. His muscles were twitching, and his blood was burning, causing Chen Zhong's breath to rise sharply.

"The Divine Burning Method."

When Chen Nuo saw this scene, he knew that Chen Zhong was using the Divine Burning Technique as his last stand.

"fall!"

Seeing that Chen Zhong refused to admit defeat and planned to fight one last time, Ye Xiyue no longer hesitated and pointed at Chen Zhong below. Suddenly, the giant sword that could not be seen clearly in the sky came down towards Chen Zhong below with a devastating force, and then with a fierce posture like a falling meteorite.

At this moment, Ye Xiyue's face turned pale. It seemed that this sword had consumed a lot of her energy.

Looking at the giant sword that was chopping down, Chen Zhong bent his knees, and lightning continued to flow out from his flesh and blood, gathering on his legs and hands. Then with a bang, the whole person was like a rocket, using the impact force to shoot towards the giant sword.

Seeing that Chen Zhong actually chose such a head-on approach, the young candidates around him immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"There's something wrong with him."

Suo Changsheng discovered that when Chen Zhong soared into the sky, his aura was still rising rapidly.

With Chen Zhong's current speed, he quickly appeared under the giant sword. He clenched his fists, and brilliant lightning flowed out from his body, quickly wrapping his entire arm in it. It seemed that his entire arm had expanded several times.

"boom!"

He threw a punch with a huge lightning bolt that hit the tip of the giant sword directly. A sharp sonic boom sounded from the air, and ripples of strong wind spread rapidly from the surface of his fist like water waves.

Then, under many dull gazes, a crack appeared on the tip of the giant sword, and the crack continued to spread upwards, and a huge crisp sound that seemed to echo in everyone's sea of ​​consciousness spread across the sky.

"Oh!"

The giant sword, which was ten feet long, slowly collapsed from the tip of the sword. At the moment of its collapse, Chen Zhong broke out from the broken sword and stood above the sky. Wrapped in lightning, he looked like the son of Thundergod.
