Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 30 School Examination
On August 24, Maoshan conducted an examination for the 36th generation of disciples.

On the nine-story platform of Yuanfu Palace, Xuanyi Zhenren and several uncles sat in the front, the 35th generation of disciples headed by Shi Jian sat on one side, and the younger generations stood behind their respective masters.

Although it was a test, the real people were all kind and gentle elders. They did not ask any tricky or weird questions, but just asked everyone to demonstrate what they had learned.

These youngsters have not yet been ordained, and have little Taoist skills, so they cannot learn advanced magic. They usually focus on practicing kung fu, so they simply demonstrate the kung fu they have practiced for their masters to see.

"Grandmaster, Granduncle, I'm done."

After finishing a set of Wing Chun, Wencai saluted and stood there awkwardly with his head down.

"Haha, step back."

Master Xuanyi smiled but did not criticize or blame him.

Wencai breathed a sigh of relief and hurried back.

"Is this called Kung Fu?"

"a shame."

"Isn't it said that Uncle Nine is very powerful? Is this the level of his disciples?"

"Only a famous teacher can produce a great student. I think Uncle Nine doesn't live up to his reputation."

Looking at Wencai who came back in disgrace, the younger generation whispered to each other, their tone full of sarcasm and disdain.

Although Wing Chun is not known for its fierceness, its moves are swift and combine both hardness and softness, especially the inch punch, which is as powerful as some long punches.

The move Wencai made just now was so crooked and weak that it was simply unbearable to watch, not to mention the timing.

Even compared to Nian Ying, who was a girl and had just started, she was not much better.

More than thirty people have demonstrated their kung fu skills, but their literary talent is at the bottom.

"Ninth Junior Brother, it's not okay for you to teach your disciples like this."

The second senior brother who was standing next to Shi Jian glanced at Uncle Jiu and chuckled.

The several senior brothers next to him, all of whom were from Shi Jian's group, also had sneers on their faces.

Uncle Jiu's face looked grim, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Master, I'll take over!"

Qiu Sheng stood behind them and snorted coldly at the uncles.

He patted Wencai’s shoulder and walked straight to the front.

"Grandmaster, Granduncle, my master taught me the Great Sage Pi Gua, please give me some pointers."

After paying his respects to Master Xuanyi, Qiu Sheng began his demonstration.

Although Qiu Sheng is usually naughty, he is good at practicing martial arts and has excellent aptitude.

After following Uncle Jiu for more than ten years, he has already mastered the Great Sage Pi Gua to an 80% level.

Swallow and stretch, extend and contract, strike far and hit long, loop and fold, use fast to beat slow, use long to control short, dodge in and take, hang if it comes from high, chop if it comes from low, block if it comes from sideways, and move if it comes from the same direction.

The Monkey King performed a set of powerful and vigorous attacks, and was full of energy.

"I'm done."

After the rehearsal, Qiu Sheng saluted and stood still.

"Yes, it's already 80% cooked."

Master Xuanyi nodded, and the other masters also nodded.

If Master Xuanyi had any comments, they would only be a few words. This eight points is the highest evaluation given so far!
In other words, Qiu Sheng has performed the best so far in the exam!
"Thank you, Grandmaster and Granduncle, for the compliments!"

Qiu Sheng showed a smug look on his face and looked provocatively at the younger generation who had just mocked him.

Those people immediately responded with their eyes, but their momentum was still a little weaker. After all, in terms of kung fu, they were not as good as Qiu Sheng.

"Second Brother, what do you think of this disciple I taught?"

Uncle Jiu, who had a gloomy face just now, couldn't help but raise his head and said something to the second senior brother.

"Humph!"

The second senior brother had a gloomy face, snorted coldly and did not respond.

His two disciples' kung fu skills are not as good as Qiu Sheng's.

"Good fight!"

"really not bad!"

When Qiu Sheng came back, Jiale, Ah Hao and others were very happy and gave him thumbs up.

Qiu Sheng became more and more proud, and said deliberately with his head held high.

"As for Kung Fu, if you want to beat those guys over there, all you need is hands."

"This little bastard!"

This was a blatant provocation, and the several senior brothers who were sitting there were annoyed.

But unfortunately, the disciples were not up to the task and none of them could surpass Qiu Sheng.

For a moment, several people looked at Shi Jian.

"With this little ability, you dare to show off."

A cold snort came from Shi Shaojian who was standing behind Shi Jian.

He glanced at Qiu Sheng with contempt and walked straight to the front.

"My disciple practices in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer. Please give me your comments, Master."

He paid his respects to Master Xuanyi and began practicing immediately.

The five fingers are spread out into claw shapes, the moves are heavy and powerful, the mind guides the movements, attack and defense are integrated, the steps are as fast as the wind, and the moves are as fast as a steel knife.

"What a handsome dragon-shaped fist!"

“This is good kung fu!”

"As expected of you, the disciple of the senior brother."

Second Brother and the others were all excited, praising Uncle Nine with great pride.

"It's really good."

Uncle Jiu also nodded slightly. Regardless of his stance, just talking about kung fu, Shi Shaojian was indeed very good, even better than Qiu Sheng.

It makes sense. As the eldest brother, Shi Jian is the most accomplished among all his fellow disciples. How could he accept so many disciples? And he only accepted Shi Shaojian as his disciple, which shows his qualifications.

It is understandable that Shi Shaojian has such skills.

"Master, please comment."

After a while, Shi Shaojian finished his practice and saluted Master Xuanyi.

"Yes, it's already 90% cooked."

Master Xuanyi nodded, and the other masters also nodded.

It's still a small number, but this nine-point degree is already higher than Qiu Sheng!

"Thank you for the compliment, Master!"

Shi Shaojian was very proud of himself. He returned to Shi Jian's back, looked at Qiu Sheng again, and sneered.

"No matter how good a monkey boxer is, he is still a monkey after all. How can he compete with a real dragon?"

"you!"

Qiu Sheng's face was full of anger, but suddenly, he smiled again.

"Do you think you are so great? You are just a frog in a well."

"If you're not convinced, let's have a fight!"

Shi Shaojian's face was grim and he looked at Qiu Sheng aggressively.

"I'm too lazy to fight you."

Qiu Sheng, however, looked indifferent and patted Li Kunshan on the back.

"Junior brother, let him open his eyes!"

"I……"

Caught off guard, he was pushed out by Qiu Sheng.

However, the rehearsal would have to be done sooner or later anyway, so Li Kunshan straightened his clothes and walked to the middle.

He bowed to Master Xuanyi and others, and started practicing Songxi Tai Chi.

A few days ago, Li Kunshan upgraded his Lightning Thunder Fist to the fifth level. Although Songxi Tai Chi needed more experience, it was about to be upgraded and was successfully upgraded to the seventh level.

The seventh level of Songxi Tai Chi is considered a master level not only among these young people, but also in the entire Tai Chi circle.

Each move is soft, flexible and smooth, flowing like water, combining hardness and flexibility, slowness and urgency.

"Good, I have grasped the essence of Songxi Tai Chi."

After Li Kunshan finished fighting, Master Xuanyi nodded and made a comment with a smile.

When commenting on others, Shi Shaojian's 90% mastery is already the highest praise, but even if he is 100% mastery, it cannot compare to the four words "having grasped the essence".

Shi Shaojian, who had a proud look on his face just now, now frowned and looked gloomy.

Although Shi Jian didn't show any expression, there was a hint of coldness in the depths of his eyes.

Several fellow disciples beside Shi Jian also had grim expressions on their faces.

I never expected that besides Qiu Sheng, there is such a genius under Uncle Jiu's tutelage!
At such a young age, he has been able to practice internal martial arts to such a level. What else can he be but a genius?

"Brother, that's not bad."

"This kid from Kunshan has made such great progress in his Kung Fu in just a few days."

Zhe Gu and Taoist Simu looked at Uncle Jiu with surprise. They had met Li Kunshan the most times, and compared with Taoist Qianhe and Mamadi, they knew better how fast Li Kunshan had progressed.

"It's really good."

In fact, not only them, but even their master Uncle Jiu did not expect this.

"You are Kunshan, right?"

As he was speaking, Li Kunshan was about to leave when Master Xuanyi suddenly stopped him.

The faces of all the brothers present suddenly changed. Among the thirty-six generations of disciples, Li Kunshan was the first name he mentioned!

Even Shi Jian could not sit still and frowned. In his opinion, this honor should belong to his apprentice Shi Shaojian.

"Yes."

Li Kunshan responded calmly.

"Your Tai Chi is pretty good."

Master Xuanyi smiled and then asked a question.

"It's time to catch a toad and build your foundation."

"Reporting to Master, I have already established my foundation."

"Foundation building?"

"He has established his foundation!"

Hearing these two words, everyone was shocked.

I originally thought that Li Kunshan was just good at boxing, but I never expected that he had already reached this level.

"Okay."

Master Xuanyi nodded again, then turned to the crowd and spoke slowly.

"Although Zhengyi is mainly based on talismans, if you have spare energy, you can also practice inner alchemy, which is also a way to achieve the Great Dao."

"Yes."

Everyone stood up and responded in unison.

Afterwards, the other juniors came forward one after another to practice.

Not to mention surpassing Li Kunshan, there are not many people who can catch up with Qiu Sheng.

There are a total of 103 people, and Master Xuanyi divided them into three levels: upper, middle and lower. The upper level includes 27 people such as Li Kunshan, Shi Shaojian, Qiu Sheng, etc., the middle level includes 67 people, and the lower level includes 9 people.

"Among the best, Lao Jiu's apprentice Kunshan is the leader."

Finally, Master Xuanyi said one more sentence.
