Unrivaled Tang Sect: Xiao Ding Zhen Tian

Chapter 114 Trials

About a day later in the evening, Dugu Jing and Nanmen Yuner returned to the academy. The third spirit rings of both of them had reached the maximum age limit for adding spirit rings.

Especially Dugu Jing, with a soul bone by his side, his third soul ring even came from a nearly two thousand year old snake soul beast. This is second only to Xiao Yun's third soul ring age among all the second-year three-ring soul masters.

From being an above-average teenager, Dugu Jing is now gradually coming to the fore.

"Oh, Dugu, after class today, Teacher Wang Yan asked me to tell you something. Go to his office before class tomorrow."

In the dormitory, Xiao Yun was eating the food in the lunch box, chewing and talking to Dugu Jing.

"understood."

In fact, Xiao Yun almost knew what Wang Yan wanted to say. It was nothing more than the matter of selecting a reserve team to participate in the Continental Soul Master Competition.

The two of them had a simple dinner, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then each of them spent the evening meditating.

The weather these days was quite good, with moderate temperatures. Given Xiao Yun's physique, he only wore a short-sleeved shirt and a school uniform jacket and went out.

Since Nanmen Yoona and Dugu Jing had both reached the third ring, they, like Xiao Yun and Xiao Xiao, became true core disciples and enjoyed better treatment.

After buying some breakfast, the few of them met and headed towards Wang Yan's office.

Bang, bang, bang—

Xiao Yun knocked on the office door a few times, and soon a gentle voice came from inside.

"Come in."

After pushing the door open and walking in, Xiao Yun and the other three discovered that in addition to them, the rest of the core disciples in the class had also arrived here.

Classmates like Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, Cao Jinxuan, Zhou Sichen, Huang Chutian were all standing in front of Wang Yan's desk, and of course, there was also Wu Feng in the corner.

After Wang Yan saw that everyone was present, he spoke, "I called you here today because I have a special situation to inform you. This afternoon, the outer courtyard will hold a core disciple selection competition. Originally, we second-year students had nothing to do with it, but the academy suddenly decided to let our second-year core disciples participate in the selection. So, you all need to be prepared."

Zhou Sichen, who was more cheerful, asked curiously, "Teacher Wang, what is this selection competition for?"

Wang Yan smiled slightly, "You don't have to worry too much. There will be no punishment for losing this selection. The participants are all core disciples under the age of fifteen from the outer courtyard, including the Soul Guidance Department. I counted and there are about thirty people. Seven people will be selected from them to participate in a task. As for what this task is, only the winning students will know. Originally, these places should have belonged to the third, fourth, and fifth grade students. But you are lucky and can participate this time, so do your best."

"We have the largest number of core disciples in our class. Including the newcomer Dugu Jing, there are eleven of us in total, accounting for more than one-third of the core disciples in the entire outer courtyard. This is enough to show how high the quality of your class is. I still have great confidence in you."

At this point, Wang Yan set his sights on Xiao Yun, "Student Xiao Yun, Teacher Mu Jin and I have high expectations for you this time."

"I try my best."

Xiao Yun remained calm about this.

The rest of the students had different expressions, some were eager to try, and some were nervous.

After the students in the fighting class returned to the classroom, Wang Yan left Xiao Yun alone.

"Is there anything else you want to talk to me about?" Xiao Yun asked with some confusion.

Wang Yan then spoke up, "Don't underestimate this selection competition. It is said that those who are selected will have unimaginable benefits in the future."

"Got it. I'll try to get a spot."

"By the way, Dean Yan asked me to tell you something. He said that if you are free, you can go to Poseidon Island for dinner." After hesitating for a moment, Wang Yan continued.

Xiao Yun was stunned, and Ma Xiaotao's hot and elastic body suddenly appeared in his mind. The corner of his mouth twitched, "Tell Dean Yan that I will go over if I am free."

After saying that, he left Wang Yan's office.

Blinking, Wang Yan looked at the office door with some confusion. Why did he feel that this little guy Xiao Yun was a little weird?

The morning class is Mu Jin’s practical class, and the afternoon class is Wang Yan’s theoretical class.

Although everyone reacted differently when they learned that the core disciple assessment would be held in the afternoon, the vast majority of people were absent-minded during the entire day of classes.

No one knew how the core disciple selection competition was conducted, but for every core disciple, this was a test that could not be avoided. Fortunately, there was no punishment for this test.

When the afternoon get out of class bell rang, Wang Yan tucked his lesson plan under his armpit and said to everyone, "Other students can rest assured. Core disciples, please stay and go to the fighting spirit area with me later."

After hearing Wang Yan's words, a gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the core disciples.

The spirit was instantly boosted.

Led by Wang Yan, the group walked out of the classroom. Coincidentally, the core disciples of the other classes were also brought out by their class teachers.

"Hmph!" Zhou Yi looked at the eleven core disciples on Wang Yan's side, then looked at Nanmen Yuner who was alone on her side, and could not help but snort.

"Xiao Yun." Nanmen Yuner glanced at Zhou Yi and found that the old woman ignored her. Then she trotted to Xiao Yun's side, looked at him with joy, and put her little hand into Xiao Yun's palm.

"With the additional soul ring, you've become even more beautiful." Xiao Yun smiled and gently pinched Yoona's little face. He was afraid that if he squeezed harder, water would come out.

Nammun Yoona pouted her delicate little mouth and said, "Don't pinch it anymore, it will swell up if you do."

"It looks good even if it's swollen."

"Hmm~"

Wu Feng, who was standing by, saw this scene and turned his eyes away.

Beside her, Ning Tian looked at his good friend with some surprise. Why did it feel like she always looked at Xiao Yun from time to time?

All fourteen core disciples of the second grade, led by three teachers, left the teaching building and came to the fighting spirit area.

Compared with the original novel, there are now two more second-year core disciples, namely Nanmen Yuner and Dugu Jing. Of course, with their talents as twelve-year-old three-ring soul masters, they are indeed worthy of the quota of core disciples.

In the fighting spirit area, Xiao Yun also saw some familiar figures, such as Beibei, who he had met last time, and Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan, who he had met at the entrance of the cafeteria. Beibei, Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan were all fifth-year students. Of course, there were more than three core disciples in the fifth year. But they were the only three who had not yet turned fifteen. Undoubtedly, they were also the most powerful among all the core disciples in the outer courtyard.

The process from the third ring to the fourth ring is much more difficult than the process from the second ring to the third ring, especially the closer to the bottleneck, the greater the difficulty of upgrading. People like Xiao Yun who got a great opportunity don't count.

However, although Xiao Yun's level is soaring very rapidly now, the difficulty of cultivating the two martial souls is also increasing. It is estimated that if he practices meditation normally, he can only improve one level a year, which is simply terrible.

In fact, except for Bei Bei and the other two and Xiao Yun, there were no four-ring core disciples in the Martial Soul Department. As for the Soul Guidance Department, although He Cai Tou was a fourth-level soul guide, his soul power did not seem to have reached the Soul Master level.

The total number of participants in this selection was finally fixed at 27, of which the second-year core disciples accounted for a small half.

Students from different classes stood behind the teacher of their own class and waited quietly. Although this core disciple assessment is a bit inexplicable, and there is no punishment. But to be able to become core disciples, which one of them is not a talented person? If you have good talent, your confidence will naturally be strong. No one wants to lose easily.

The sophomores were all eager to try, especially Dai Huabin. His cultivation had reached level 37, almost level 38, and was in no way inferior to most of the students here. It was definitely impossible for him not to fight with these seniors.

Xiao Yun, on the other hand, looked around calmly until his eyes met Bei Bei's. There was a slight pause, and then both of them nodded slightly without leaving a trace.

It can be said that for Xiao Yun or Bei Bei, the other party is their biggest opponent this time.

At this moment, in the distance, a shaky body slowly walked over. Judging from the way he staggered three times with each step, it seemed as if he might fall down at any time.

Seeing him, Xiao Yun's mouth twitched. Chicken legs and wine, this is Old Xuan.

Master Xuan staggered in front of the students and glanced at Wang Yan with drunken eyes, "Little Wang."

Wang Yan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"Is everyone here?"

"They are all here. There are 26 core disciples from the Martial Soul Department from the second to fifth grades, and only one person from the Soul Guidance Department." Wang Yan answered.

"Well. Let's go in then." As he said this, Mr. Xuan turned around and entered the spirit fighting area.

Not all core disciples had seen Master Xuan. Many of them looked at Master Xuan's back with confusion.

Dai Huabin couldn't help but whisper to Xiao Yun, "Who is this old drunkard?"

Xiao Yun glanced at him but said nothing.

Everything in the soul fighting area remains the same, but today there seems to be no teacher here, and no students come here to fight souls.

Mr. Xuan didn't stop until he reached the center of the soul fighting area. The core disciples also stood still under the leadership of the teachers.

"Listen up, little guys. The core disciple assessment you are about to take is very simple. I call it a mass brawl. You can attack as you please within this fighting spirit area and fight however you want. There are no rules. Those who admit defeat or are rescued will be eliminated. The last seven people left will be the winners. All right, teachers, go out. When I say start, you can start fighting."

After burping, Old Xuan spoke casually and took another big gulp of wine.

Originally, the core disciples didn't bother to pay attention to this old guy, but when they saw that their class teachers were all silent, even if they were stupid, they could see that this old guy must have a very high status, so they nodded in unison.

But what made them feel ridiculous was that they had never seen such a test before. There were 27 people here! And everyone had different abilities and strengths. What could be tested from such a big fight?

Naturally, the teachers would not disobey Mr. Xuan’s orders and withdraw from the soul fighting area one after another.

Before the students in the soul-fighting area could react, Mr. Xuan suddenly raised the wine gourd in his hand and shouted, "Start."

whoosh-

Xuan Lao's body disappeared in an instant. Only 27 core disciples from the outer courtyard were left in the fighting arena.

All these changes were so sudden that all the students were briefly stunned the moment after Mr. Xuan started shouting. Immediately afterwards, everyone made different choices.

The one who reacted the fastest was definitely Xiao Yun. After all, among all the people present, he was the only one who fully understood the whole story of this assessment. So when Xuan Lao's figure disappeared, he directly injected soul power into his arms, punched out two times, and knocked Xie Huanyue and Huang Chutian away.

"Fuck, squad leader, you are so special."

boom--

Before Huang Chutian could finish his curse, Dai Huabin, who had also reacted, kicked him out of the fighting arena. At the same time, he glared at Xiao Yun in annoyance. Did this bastard deliberately attack him?
"Xiao Xiao, Yun Er, Du Gu, all of you come closer, Du Gu is poisoned."

After knocking Xie Huanyue and Huang Chutian away with two punches, Xiao Yun immediately whispered to his friends that the four of them had the closest relationship, so it would be natural for them to cooperate well.

"We'll go there too."

After taking a look at the fighting arena which was becoming increasingly chaotic, Ning Tian said something to Wu Feng and walked towards Xiao Yun.

Before they reached Xiao Yun and the others, Xiao Xiao's tripod shock descended upon the two women.

Wu Feng frowned, and a blazing dragon flame ignited on his body. He stood in front of Ning Tian and resisted Xiao Xiao's shock skill. At the same time, he shouted at Xiao Yun in annoyance, "Are you sick? Are you going to attack us too?"

Xiao Yun glanced at her and said, "Didn't you listen to the rules? This is a big fight. We are no longer classmates, but rivals. Xiao Xiao, start!"

"I know, brother!"

After responding, Xiao Xiao activated his soul ring again. The vibration of the cauldron and the swing of the cauldron formed an extremely violent regional shock, interrupting the rhythm of the surrounding core disciples one after another.

"Damn Xiao Yun, stinky Xiao Yun!" Wu Feng gritted his teeth and cursed several times, then reluctantly took Ning Tian away from Xiao Xiao's shock range quickly.

"Yun'er, Dugu and Xiaoxiao have created a controlled area around us. You can move freely in it. I will remind you if you see someone, and you just need to eliminate him." Xiao Yun said to Nanmen Yun'er while urging his mental power to observe the surroundings.

"it is good!"

Nanmen Yoona has always been obedient to Xiao Yun, so she nodded vigorously, wanting to perform well in front of Xiao Yun.

Soon, Xiao Yun and his four companions became the toughest team in the entire fighting spirit arena. None of the core disciples who were only at the third ring level dared to approach them.
