Chapter 18 Promotion to an Outer Disciple

November 15, sunny, windy in the northwest

In a martial arts arena of [Iron Sword Gate], hundreds of handymen in cyan chores gathered here.

All the people stood neatly, lined up in several rows. Tang Dachu and Liu Xiangang stood in the front. Next to them were the disciples who had a close relationship with them in peace and peace.

Liu Erxi and others have always been at the end. First, their strength is not known, and secondly, they are not public, so they always stay behind. But today, people consciously gave up the second row, and no one refused to stand in front of Liu Erxi and others.

Liu Erxi, Jiang Xiaowei, He Ming and Ding Yang were not used to it at the beginning, but later they accepted the reality. Shi Shiran stood in the front position, and they stood in a row of disciples with relatively high strength.

Ding Yang sighed secretly in his heart that this is the reality. Even if you stand in a team, you have to be arranged according to your strength.

The four people stood in the line. Tang Dachu and Ma Ziliang, who stood in front of them, turned their heads and looked at them. Ma Ziliang made a vicious expression towards them. Liu Xiangang, who was also standing in front of him, nodded to them with a smile and said hello.

According to the usual practice, this promotion test is presided over by the deacon of the outer door. When the deacon came to the martial arts arena with two ordinary deacons, Ding Yang was surprised to find that the deacon was Cao Dayou, who presided over the introductory test that day. I don't know when he was promoted to a great deacon.

It turned out that after Cao Dayou received a [Yijin Dan] sent by Ding Yang on the same day, after taking it, he finally broke through the bottleneck and advanced [Yijinjing] martial artist. After another three months, the outer door deacon was transferred to the inner door. Because only Cao Dayou was the [Yijinjing] martial artist among the ordinary deacons, he was promoted to the [Iron Sword Gate] outer door deacon.

The other two ordinary deacons, one is Fang Zhenghao and the other is Liu Molin. Both of them are [bone practice] peak warriors.

At this time, all the people had arrived, but they did not announce the beginning. The three of them looked out of the martial arts arena from time to time, as if they were waiting for someone.

This time, an elder was sent to the door to attend the supervision. This elder is not one of the seven elders, but just a famous elder. In [Iron Sword Gate], as long as you reach the [Measelization], you can be named elders. This kind of elders only enjoy the treatment of ordinary elders, but do not necessarily have actual power. It's just an honor to give the doorman of [Marrowwashing].

Even in such a big school as [Iron Sword Gate], the [medullary realm] warriors are the mainstay of the door, and each of them is very important. There are many small sects and the whole sect do not have a martial artist who washes the marrow.

After a long time, after a burst of clothes, a person suddenly appeared on the chair in the middle. Cao Dayou, Fang Zhenghao and Liu Molin were shocked at first. After seeing it clearly, Qi Qi bent down and saluted, "See the elder!"

I saw the big red robe on the chair, with thick eyebrows, thick beard on his face like a steel needle, and a majestic look. This elder's name is Yi Taichong. He is forty-eight years old this year. He is the apprentice of the elder Bai Wuqi of [Iron Sword Gate]. He just trained [Marrowwashing] a year ago and became a famous elder.

Forty-eight-year-old [marrow-washing] martial artist, although not a peerless talent, is also an outstanding person. Today, I was sent to supervise the promotion test of miscellaneous disciples, and I felt a little disapproving.

Yi Tai snorted in his nose and said impatiently:

"Okay, don't gossip. Start the test quickly. I have something else to do."

Just as Cao Dayou was about to announce, Yi Taichong continued, "Tell these handymen that if there is too much standard deviation from passing the test, don't test it to save time."

This is a little rude, but Yi Taichong is not only the apprentice of the elder, but also a [marrow-washing] martial artist. It is rumored that he is still a popular candidate for the next leader, but Cao Dayou does not dare to be dissatisfied at all.

He turned around and relayed this to the miscellaneous disciples, and then said the standard of this promotion.

There are three rigid criteria for the promotion of [Iron Sword Gate] miscellaneous disciples to outer disciples:

First, the age must not exceed 18 years old.

Second, the total strength should reach 400 catties.

Third, the cultivation of true qi should meet the standard of [skin practice].

"Okay, I'll tell you all the standards. Next, lift this big stone in order, and then check the true qi situation when it can be lifted.

After Cao Dayou finished speaking, he pointed to a huge stone ball in the field, indicating that the handymen could start testing.

The bluestone ball in the center of the field is as high as an adult's waist and extremely round. In order to make it easy to grasp, two iron rings are embedded in the bluestone. The weight of the stone ball is exactly 400 pounds.

Most of the disciples looked at the huge stone ball, and they were all a little timid. A handyman disciple in the front of them shivered with his legs and couldn't come forward.

Tang Dachu got angry and grabbed him and pushed him aside. The disciple looked at Tang Dachu and didn't dare to say anything. He silently retreated to the back. Cao Dayou looked at it and frowned, but he didn't say anything.

Tang Dachu came to the stone ball, sat on the horse, stretched out his hands and held the two iron rings on the stone ball firmly. Tang Dachu's feet were firmly nailed to the ground, two strands of true air poured into his arms, and his arms became thick in an instant.

Hey - Tang Dachu exhaled and shouted with his arms. Four hundred catties of big stone balls rose from the ground and suddenly reached the top of Tang Dachu's head. Tang Dachu's face suddenly turned red, and the blue veins on his arms burst like snakes. He steadily raised the huge stone ball in the air, paused for a moment, and threw the big stone ball to the ground with a sound.

Strengthes pass! Fang Zhenghao announced loudly.

Tang Dachu! Cao Dayou, the deacon, shouted, now check your true situation.

Tang Dachu's arms shook, and a stream of true qi from Dantianzhong gathered to the front chest, and Tang Dachu's front chest immediately bulged like a breath. Cao Dayou stretched out his left palm and gently patted Tang Dachu's front chest twice. He nodded and said, "Yes! I already have the cultivation of [Practicing Skin Realm]. After saying that, he turned his face to Yi Taichong and said, "Esenior Yi, this Tang Dachu's strength is 400 jin, and the true spirit [practicing skin realm] has met the standard of promotion to a foreign disciple. You see..."

Yi Taichong had no worries on his face and said faintly, "Well! I saw it." With his cultivation and identity, he is really not interested in such an ordinary disciple.

Cao Dayou said with a smile on his face, "Da Chu! Congratulations. From now on, you will be the outer disciple of [Iron Sword Gate]. Tang Dachu became a foreign disciple, and his identity was immediately very different. Cao Dayou spoke to him much more politely.

Tang Dachu's face showed a proud smile on his face. He raised his right fist and shook it towards Liu Xiangang in the team. His eyes swept over Liu Erxi and Ding Yang behind him. His face changed, a cold light shot in his eyes, and a murder flashed deep in his eyes.

Next, two miscellaneous disciples were tested. The strength of these two was also very high among the miscellaneous disciples, but their strength still could not reach 400 jin. They could not lift the stone ball and retreated in frustration. The proud look on Tang Dachu's face also became stronger and stronger.

At this time, Liu Xiangang strode forward, and the pride on Tang Dachu's face converged. He knew that Liu Xiangang's strength was not below him, and he was sure to pass the test. However, there is still a fluke in my heart. I hope that Liu Xiangang can have any accident in the test and can't pass.

However, the accident still did not happen. Liu Xiangang successfully passed the test of strength and true qi, and was also promoted to an outer disciple.

Liu Xiangang returned to the team and whispered to Ding Yang, "How's it going? Ding Yang. I'm already an official disciple, and my previous proposal is still valid. What do you think?

Ding Yang's face was calm, and he looked at Liu Xiangang's eyes indifferently, and still shook his head firmly.

Liu Xiangang felt a little unhappy in his heart. He is now a formal foreign disciple, and his identity is very different from the last recruitment of Ding Yang. He only took a fancy to Ding Yang's fear of strength and unity, and his own strength was not weak, which moved his heart to attract.

I thought that Ding Yang would happily agree to this invitation, even if he was not flattered. Who knew that Ding Yang was still this indifferent expression.

Liu Xiangang said in a low voice, "Ding Yang! You have to think about it. Tang Dachu must report that you once had a bad relationship with him, and now he has been promoted to an outer disciple. His identity is very different from the past, and he will definitely retaliate against you. If you don't find someone who can stand out for you, I'm afraid you will suffer a big loss at that time. Speaking of this, Liu Xiangang believes that as long as Ding Yang is not a fool, he will definitely make a right decision.

At this time, a disciple named Hua Zhiyong came to the scene. Hua Zhiyong was extremely strong. He was 16 years old this year, but he looked like a strong man in his twenties.

Hua Zhiyong was born strong since he was a child. When he was seven years old, he was herd cattle at home. The cow did not listen to his call. In anger, Hua Zhiyong grabbed the cow's tail and walked dozens of steps. The name of bravery spread all over the countryside for a while.

Hua Zhiyong came to the field and stood in front of the stone ball. He grabbed the iron ring with both hands and let out a muffled roar. The two thick arms of the tree trunks were hard, and the 400-pound stone ball was instantly lifted to the top of Hua Zhiyong's head.

With a bang, Hua Zhiyong threw the stone ball to the ground and grinned, "Hey hey! Deacon, have I passed?

When Liu Molin saw that he was Hua Zhiyong, he felt a little headache. Hua Zhiyong was a handyman disciple under his jurisdiction. He had a simple mind and usually caused a lot of trouble, but he was so powerful that ordinary people could not beat him. This Hua Zhiyong's head is a little stupid, and he can't practice true qi and swordsmanship at all. However, there are also some benefits. Hua Zhiyong works extremely hard and does not feel dirty. As a handyman, he is extremely qualified.

Cao Dayou did not know these things. Seeing that Hua Zhiyong raised the stone ball, he called Hua Zhiyong forward to test his degree of true qi cultivation.

Who knows that no matter how you test it, you can't measure Hua Zhiyong's true anger. Cao Dayou thought there was something wrong there. It was not until Liu Molin came to tell him softly that he knew the truth. He kicked Hua Zhiyong back angrily.

Next, several disciples came up to take the test, but none of them failed. The remaining disciples knew that their strength was much worse, and no one came up again, and the field was cold for a while.

Seeing this, Cao Dayou shouted, "Are there any disciples who want to take the test? If not, then this test is over.

Liu Xiangang was talking to Ding Yang in a low voice, trying to persuade Ding Yang to accept his solicitation. Suddenly, Ding Yang opened his mouth without warning and said, "And - me!"

Everyone looked back. Ding Yang passed by the shocked Liu Xiangang and went straight to the stone ball on the field.

What--

Tang Dachu involuntarily grew up.
