Chapter 17 Three Tests (Please Recommend and Monthly Vote)
[Martial Arts]: Perfection of Wind-breaking Blade Technique (third-rate martial arts, cannot be upgraded), Minor Success of Hunyuan Gong (54%)
In the inn room, Lu Yun, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, and his pupils flashed with a brilliant light, which was extremely deep, and he did not look like a boy under eleven years old at all.
"Today is the assessment period." Lu Yun was a little excited.
It has been almost half a year since he came to this world. He has been staying in the mountain village, and most of the people he has come into contact with are ordinary people and low-level warriors.
Now, as long as he passes the assessment, he can completely enter the world of warriors and get in touch with the ways and opportunities to advance to a higher level of martial arts.
For this goal, he will go all out, and no one can stop him.
"With the help of the hard training in the past half month and the accumulated energy points, the progress of Hunyuan Gong's practice will be improved to Minor Success (54), which is one step closer to Major Success." Lu Yun's mind moved slightly, and powerful blood and qi surged, and powerful power gushed out with every move.
If he met the horse bandit again, Lu Yun was confident that he could kill him with two swords.
His confidence mainly comes from Hunyuan Gong, a top-notch second-rate martial art.
Just a small success made Lu Yun feel that he was in the middle stage of the martial arts realm and was not afraid of anyone.
After washing up and putting on the new clothes that his sister had prepared for him, Lu Yun pushed the door and walked out.
A good saddle goes with a good horse, and black clothes go with a young man. Lu Yun, who was dressed in black, had just gone out when Lu Liangpeng, who had been waiting outside for a long time, came to greet him.
"Lu Yun, you finally came out. The village chief and the others are waiting impatiently. We have to hurry up and set off."
Lu Yun smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I kept you waiting!"
When he came to the first floor of the inn, he saw Lu Cangsheng, Lu Cang and Lu Tianhu. They were not as impatient as Lu Liangpeng said.
"It's still early, let's eat something and fill our stomachs." Lu Cang asked Lu Yun to sit down, and there were three bowls of strengthening soup on the table.
There are five people here, but only three bowls of strengthening soup, which is obviously specially prepared for Lu Yun, Lu Liangpeng and Lu Tianhu.
The three teenagers were not shy or polite, and quickly solved it under Lu Cangsheng's gaze.
"I wish you a successful start today and get what you want!" After Lu Cangsheng encouraged them, they left the inn together.
There were still many teenagers and warriors on the street, which seemed very lively. They all went to the central square of the county town, which was the location of the martial arts academy assessment.
On the way, Lu Yun learned some news from Lu Cangsheng.
First, during the days when they were in seclusion and practicing hard, Yunshui County was not very peaceful. There were traces of cult activities. The county's constables were often dispatched, and even the city guards participated in it, but they never got anything.
Lu Yun was a little surprised. He had heard about the cult before, but he knew less about it.
As far as he knew, there were many evil cults in the Great Yuan Dynasty, and the most powerful one was the Red Moon Demon Cult, but its influence did not reach Lingwu County.
Later, Lu Cangsheng revealed that Lu Yun finally understood that the rampant evil cult in Lingzhou was the White Lotus Cult, which was also one of the more powerful evil cults in the Great Yuan Dynasty.
Lingwu County was one of the subordinate counties under the jurisdiction of Lingzhou. For many years, the followers of the White Lotus Cult were quite active, infiltrating various parties, causing considerable trouble to the county government.
Second, there were many geniuses participating in the martial arts academy assessment this time, and many of them had become formal warriors, and there were even geniuses in the Tongmai realm. The competition was unprecedentedly fierce.
"Tongmai realm?" Lu Yun's eyes flashed.
There were restrictions on participating in the martial arts academy assessment. The first restriction was that the age was not higher than fifteen years old.
In other words, the age of that Tongmai realm warrior was not much older than Lu Yun, and would definitely not be more than fifteen years old.
Even if he was exactly fifteen years old, he was still a fifteen-year-old Tongmai realm warrior, which was scary to think about.
In the entire Lingxi Village, there is no Tongmai Realm warrior except Lu Cangsheng.
It can be seen that the Tongmai Realm is a threshold. In some small places, it is the most powerful existence.
"I have also heard of that Tongmai Realm genius. It seems to be called Xiao Chen. He is a sword genius with a terrifying talent for fighting above his level. When he entered the martial arts realm, he killed no less than a handful of Tongmai Realm warriors." Lu Cang said in a deep voice.
"Killing Tongmai Realm warriors above their level?" Lu Liangpeng took a breath and said in an uncertain tone: "This kind of genius actually appeared in our Yunshui County. It's incredible."
Lu Tianhu was silent for a while, and Lu Cang saw it and comforted him: "Don't be discouraged, you are now very close to being a warrior, and there is a great hope of passing the assessment."
"Thank you, Brother Lu Cang!" Lu Tianhu forced an ugly smile.
"Is there really hope?" Lu Tianhu sighed secretly in his heart, and his eyes quietly glanced at the black-clothed boy in front of him.
"He's obviously much younger than me, but he's already a warrior. Is this the difference in talent?"
He shook his head slightly and continued to move forward with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Lu Yun didn't know what Lu Tianhu was thinking, and he didn't want to know. He just wanted to see who the only Tongmai Realm warrior was, the sword genius who had the ability to fight against opponents of higher levels.
"Although I'm only in the middle stage of the martial arts realm now, as long as I'm given time, Tongmai Realm will definitely not be a problem.
But, can I beat Tongmai Realm warriors of higher levels when I enter the martial arts realm?"
Lu Yun thought to himself, but soon shook his head.
He still had enough self-knowledge about his own strength. It was unlikely that he would kill Tongmai Realm by leaps and bounds when he entered the Wu Realm.
Unless, after entering the Wu Academy, he got other opportunities, such as practicing more powerful martial arts.
Today, the county town was full of people. A large number of people rushed to the central square to watch the Wu Academy recruit disciples for examination, causing the streets to quickly become deserted.
Soon, Lu Yun and his party arrived at the central square.
Lu Yun swept his eyes and found that the central square was full of vigor and very wide. It was about the size of ten football fields, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.
In Zhongxing Square, young boys and girls held their heads high and were full of vigor.
Outside the square, there were many black-armored city guards and many constables. They were holding weapons and heavy crossbows to isolate other warriors and spectators outside the venue.
In order to maintain public order, the city guards and a group of constables were also arranged to the central square to maintain the order of the examination.
"Those who are taking the test should enter the square in order, and the rest of you should wait outside." As soon as Lu Yun and his men approached, a city guard shouted.
Lu Cangsheng paused and said earnestly: "Xiao Cang and I will take you here, and everything that comes next will depend on you."
When they parted, Lu Cang also clenched his fist and encouraged: "Come on, bring honor to our Lingxi Village!"
"We will definitely do our best and not let the village chief and Brother Lu Cang down!" Lu Liangpeng smiled, which was also a way to cheer himself up.
Thousands of people took the test, and it was impossible for him to say that there was no certain pressure.
Among the three, only Lu Yun had absolute confidence.
"Those who are taking the test, come and stand up, and don't wait for those who are late!" A loud voice sounded, covering all the noisy sounds and clearly reaching everyone's ears.
The boys and girls gathered quickly, and Lu Yun, Lu Tianhu and Lu Liangpeng also went over and stood at the back of the team.
As time passed, the team became larger and larger, and soon exceeded a thousand.
"The people in the front should be the geniuses who live in Tenglong Restaurant. Even the gathering is led by them. It seems that these people are famous and valued by the county." Lu Yun narrowed his eyes.
In the whole team, there are sixteen figures standing proudly, keeping a certain distance from everyone. Among them is Mu Qingyun, who had a quarrel with Lu Yun and others.
At this time, most of the warriors or spectators watching the excitement outside the field are focusing their eyes on the sixteen young men with heroic figures.
Lu Yun was not surprised. He looked at the sixteen Tianjiao, trying to find the sword genius who fought above his level.
After watching for a long time, he didn't find anything. He had to look away helplessly.
This is also normal. Any of the sixteen young men has a higher cultivation than Lu Yun, and their temperament is also outstanding. Without deliberately releasing their aura, it is impossible to tell who is the strongest person.
At this moment, many young men and women in the central square suddenly became agitated. Lu Yun followed the gaze of the crowd and saw four figures walking in from the entrance at the same time.
"These people are definitely far above the Tongmai Realm!" Lu Yun was awed.
He had felt the explosion of Lu Cangsheng, who was in the middle stage of the Tongmai Realm, at close range, but from these four people, he felt a vast aura that was far above Lu Cangsheng in the past.
And this was just a trace of aura released casually without the other party making a move.
"It's the county magistrate, the county lieutenant, and two talented disciples from the martial arts academy!" The martial artists watching were excited.
The county magistrate and the county lieutenant are the most powerful figures in Yunshui County, and their strength is also the top. They are strong men at the peak of the Zhenqi Realm.
And the two talented disciples from the martial arts academy are certainly not weaker than the Zhenqi Realm.
In this way, a full four Zhenqi Realm strong men gathered together, which is rare in a place like Yunshui County.
Under the excited gazes of the crowd, four Qi Realm masters came to the high platform of the square and sat down, looking down at the crowd on the square.
Sitting in the first place was Lin Chen, a genius disciple of the Martial Academy. With a glance, the lively and excited atmosphere of the whole place suddenly condensed.
"This assessment is divided into three items. The first item is bone age and identity verification." On the high platform, Lin Chen's voice mixed with Qi spread and resounded throughout the square.
