I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 14 You didn’t tell me earlier
After an incense stick of time, Jiang Chuan sighed as he looked at the dark space in his palm.

"As expected, it takes ten thousand taels of gold to extract one tael of gold essence. It's really difficult to refine."

According to the units of the Qingyuan Realm, ten thousand taels of gold is equivalent to two hundred tons of gold in Jiangchuan's previous life.

You know, many small gold mines only have reserves of a few hundred tons of gold!

It is no exaggeration to say that Jiangchuan is now equivalent to refining a small gold mine!
As time passed, the golden knife in the dark space melted little by little.

Jiang Chuan felt a surge of magical power like a rushing river flowing into his body.

At the same time, Jiang Chuan's aura continued to grow.

breakthrough!

Second realm, fifth level!

After Jiang Chuan broke through, he did not stop refining. Instead, he accelerated the dark space and refined the golden knife.

When the golden knife was completely refined, Jiang Chuan's aura rose again.

breakthrough!

The sixth level of the second realm!

The red sun sets in the west, casting a golden afterglow. Against the backdrop of the setting sun, the Bodhi Temple appears even more solemn and majestic.

Standing in the afterglow, Jiangchuan was like a sword drawn from its sheath, its edge fully exposed.

Feeling the powerful force in his body, Jiang Chuan smiled.

"Second Realm, Sixth Level. This time I should be able to pass the Monk Academy exam with a score in the top three."

With anticipation for tomorrow's assessment, Jiang Chuan went to the kitchen, drank a bowl of white corn porridge, and then returned to the cabin to rest.

The next morning, Jiangchuan and Jinghui got up early and started washing up.

Spitting the mouthwash onto the ground, Jing Hui asked worriedly, "Junior Brother, do you think I can pass the assessment at the Martial Monk Academy?"

"It's definitely no problem."

Jiang Chuan patted Jing Hui's shoulder and signaled him not to worry.

According to the development of the simulated world, Jinghui will actually pass the assessment of the Martial Monk Academy next year.

But because of Jiang Chuan, Jing Hui got a Hundred Herbs Strengthening Pill, and her strength was even better than in the simulated world.

There is a high probability that you will be the last one to enter the Monks' Academy.

"I also think that a man like me who can accommodate all rivers can definitely enter the Martial Monk Academy."

After hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Jinghui also became full of confidence.

Jiang Chuan wiped his cheeks and then went to the Martial Monks' Temple with Jing Hui.

When the two arrived, there was already a large crowd of monks standing in front of the Martial Monks' Hall.

Half an hour later, Elder Jingyun, accompanied by ten fierce and vigorous monks, walked out of the Martial Monks' Hall and came to the front of the Martial Monks' Hall.

After glancing at the many monks in front of the courtyard, Elder Jingyun spoke slowly.

"This assessment is divided into two stages. Defeat the demon puppet to pass the first stage."

"The first 200 who pass the second level will be able to enter the Monk's Court."

"The assessment begins."

Following an order from Elder Jingyun, ten monks from the Martial Monastery released ten demon puppets of different appearances from their storage bags.

These demon puppets all have sharp fangs and claws, and their bodies seem to be cast from molten gold, emitting a cold glow under the sunlight.

Immediately, ten monks walked out of the crowd, selected weapons from the weapon rack, and walked in front of the demon puppet.

"Roar!"

It was like a loud thunderclap, accompanied by the roar of demon puppets.

Under the control of ten monks from the Martial Monastery, the demon puppets launched a fierce attack on the ten monks.

"what!"

At the first encounter, a monk from the servant courtyard who was holding a long stick was knocked away and fell to the ground, spitting blood.

Then another monk from the menial courtyard was hit on the chest by a lion-like demon puppet and fell unconscious.

In just a few breaths, half of the ten monks had fallen to the ground. This bloody scene did not inspire fear among the monks, but instead made them more eager to participate in the first round of the assessment.

Half an hour later, the bluestone paved ground in front of the monks' academy was covered with bright red blood.

"Junior brother, come on!"

With Jinghui's encouragement, Jiangchuan walked up to a humanoid demon puppet.

This demon puppet has wings on its back and its entire body is covered with tiny red scales. It has long, dagger-like black nails on its hands.

Just standing here gives people a sense of ferocity, as if it is ready to devour someone at any time.

"Ashura Demon"

Before Jiang Chuan finished speaking, the Shura demon in front of him moved.

The Shura Demon's two-meter-tall body rushed towards Jiangchuan like a running cheetah.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed to Jiangchuan's body, raised his right claw high, like five unsheathed sharp blades, and slashed towards Jiangchuan.

Jiang Chuan took a step back to avoid the Shura Demon's sharp claws, then swept his left leg towards the Shura Demon.

Arhat Subduing Tiger Fist!
The tiger wags its tail!

It was like a huge axe chopping down, or like a huge rock rolling down and hitting the Shura demon.

The Shura Demon's tall body was kicked away by Jiang Chuan like a kite with a broken string.

When the monks who were watching the fight from all sides saw the Shura Demon lying on the ground, they felt their scalps tingling.

The two-meter-tall Shura demon was lying on the ground like a rag doll, with most of his chest broken and his body covered with dense cracks.

You have to know that the body of the demon puppet is made of the body of the Shura demon and cast with gold and water. It is difficult to hurt it with ordinary weapons!

"He crippled the Shura Demon with just one kick. This junior brother may not be very old, but his strength is terrifyingly strong!"

"This junior brother's power is truly terrifying!"

"If this kick landed on someone, I don't think even a cultivator at the third level would be able to withstand it!"

Even the disciples of the Martial Monks Academy looked at Jiang Chuan with surprise.

One kick severely damaged the demon puppet!
Many disciples of the Martial Monks Academy may not be able to do it!
Elder Jingyun nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, he has broken through to the sixth level of the second realm in just a few days. It's worth my training."

After encouraging Jinghui again, Jiangchuan took out a sword from the weapon rack beside him, then walked into the courtyard of the Martial Monks' Academy, ready to take the second level of the test.

Half an incense stick later, Jiang Chuan saw Jing Hui, who was covered in dust, rushing towards him with a big laugh.

"Junior brother, I passed the first round of assessment!"

In front of all the monks who passed the first level of assessment in the Martial Monks' Academy, Jing Hui gave Jiang Chuan a big hug.

"Senior brother."

"Well, I know you want to congratulate me, so there's no need for us to exchange polite words."

The thought that she would soon be able to escape from the menial work yard and end the endless labor made Jinghui even more excited and she hugged Jiangchuan even tighter.

"Senior brother, I'm not here to congratulate you. I want to ask you if you can let me go. It's such a hot day and it's so hot with you holding me like this!" Jiang Chuan looked disgusted.

Jing Hui, who had just finished the assessment, was still full of blood and energy, like a big fireball.

In addition, it was midsummer and the sun was scorching.

If I really have to use two words to describe Jiang Chuan’s current feelings, it would be torture!
It's very painful!

"Junior brother, why didn't you tell me earlier that you were hot?" Jing Hui finally realized and let go of Jiang Chuan.

Jiangchuan: "."

Tell me earlier?

Did you give me a chance to speak?

"The first round of assessment has concluded, and a total of 548 disciples have passed."

As Jinghui and the other last group of monks entered the Martial Monks' Academy, Elder Jingyun also announced the results of the assessment.

"Now we begin the second round of the assessment. I'll trouble you, fellow apprentices, to help me activate the illusion array."
