Chapter 10 Test Conference
The new selection conference is almost all the sects of Tianlingxing's sword field. At a certain time every year, a method of selecting potential disciples in the sect and cultivating new forces will be adopted. The first thing to do to participate in the new election conference is the sword body test. Only children who have passed the sword body test, that is, those who have the talent to practice swords, can be absorbed by the sect and become disciples.
Almost all the children who come to take the test are between the ages of eight and ten. Only children in this age will awaken the sword body and be tested to find out how much potential it has.
And those children who participated in the test come from various places of Tianling Star, and their identities are even more different. There are children from ordinary families, and there are also swordsmen who are at the bottom of the sect, such as Long Yi.
Through the new selection conference, passing the sword body test, and joining the sect is a shortcut for those who are eager to practice and embark on the road of the strong. Because of the protection of the sect, they can get a lot of support. Of course, they also belong to the sect from now on and obey the orders of the sect.
Xuanyu Sect is one of the six sword sects of Tianling Star. Its influence is not strong, and there are also many children who come to admire the name and hope to worship the sect.
On this day, a steady stream of figures can be seen in the Xuanyu Mountains where Xuanyu Sect is located, gathering from all directions. The direction is the huge square at the foot of the mountain of Xuanyu Sect, which is the place for testing.
And in the Xuanyu sect, it is also very different from usual at this time. A large number of Taoist children of similar age have gathered in the square of the test, but because of the majesty of Xuanyu Sect, they dare not make any noise. And the Taoist figure, the royal sword flying in the air, is the disciples who are responsible for selecting the position of the new conference, Zhangluo related matters.
Those disciples flew low in the door and classified the children according to their origins quickly and seriously. All the children dared not listen and stood in line obediently, waiting for the test to come. About a time after the incense, all the children who came to the test had gathered on the square in an orderly manner. At this time, there was only a shocking sound of bells somewhere in the Xuanyuzong Peak, and everyone was suddenly so refreshed that they dared not move.
At the same time, the seven figures flew out from the top of the main peak. When everyone saw the seven figures, they were shocked and lowered their heads in awe and dared not look directly.
The seven people are of great importance to the Xuanyu Sect, second only to the seven elders of the suzerain!
The seven elders flew over, as if they were immortals who were born. They skimmed directly from the top of the square and flew towards the seats that had been placed on the east side of the square. Each of them had amazing kendo practice. Flying in the air, there was no need to sacrifice a sword at all.
After a few breaths, the seven elders sat down according to their respective identities, and a majestic old man sitting in the middle nodded to the disciples in the door beside them.
The disciple of the sect immediately moved his body, and the sword was sacrificed. He stepped on the sword and flew into the air. He shouted in a low voice, "Seven elders have arrived. In the year of the opening of Xuanyu Sect, 359, the new election conference test, starting now!"
As soon as the words fell, the front of hundreds of queues on the square, facing all the gatekeepers standing on the test boys, answered in unison, "Yes!"
Then, those disciples all raised their hands to a boy in the front, and the boy who was waved hurried forward and saw that the disciple did not look at the boy, so he put his palms on the boy's forehead. However, after a breath, some children bloomed with different colors of light, and there were The boy has never had any vision.
"Sword Awakening! You are qualified, stand on the left!"
" Mortal! You are not qualified, stand on the right side!"
Every sentence without any emotion came from the disciples in charge of the test, and the children who received the test looked very different after hearing the disciple's judgment on themselves. Those boys who are judged to have the talent to practice swords are full of ecstasy on their faces, and those who are judged to be mortals are all depressed.
In each test, the gap is very short, so the tens of thousands of boys in the square are moving forward almost without stopping, and then some are to the left and some to the right, but in general, the boys to the left are far less than the boys to the right.
The seven elders who sat on the seven seats and watched the test process in the square were very calm, and some showed some concern in their eyes.
At this time, the third old man sitting on the right glanced at the old man sitting at the last one, with a look of ridicule in his eyes, and said, "Lao Qi, you seem to be looking forward to this year's new election conference!"
The person known as the old seven is Zhang Bin, the seven elders who are ranked at the bottom of the seven, that is, the person who pays the most attention to the test results in the square.
When several other people heard the words, they all looked at Zhang Bin, who glanced at the three elders Li Xiong, hummed and said, "The new election meeting is an annual event for me, and it is also related to the continuation of the sect. Why can't I look forward to it?"
When several people heard the words, they all smiled, but the meaning of the smile was thought-provoking.
Li Xiong laughed and said, "Lao Qi said! As the seven elders of the guardian clan, who doesn't look forward to such a big event? However, I'm afraid Lao Qi's expectation is to take the lead in finding good seedlings among those boys and get them under his own door, right?
Zhang Bin was worried, and his face couldn't help but be a little gloomy. Although what Li Xiong said is true, it is obviously a mockery of him. How can he feel good?
Zhang Bin was angry, but he could only snort coldly and stopped talking to Li Xiong. He knows very well that his strength ranks last among the seven people. The disciples under the door are also the weakest, and there are few outstanding people, and he has been annoyed by this for a long time. The annual new selection meeting is the best time to find potential disciples. He can't help but be more careful than others!
When Li Xiong saw that Zhang Bin ignored him, he didn't care. He just glanced at the boys below with a relaxed smile on his face. The old man sitting at the last two looked at Li Xiong and smiled and said, "Third brother, I think you don't care about the test results because you have been sure for a long time. Your son Li Fan will stand out among this group of new Taoist children, right?"
Li Xiong laughed when he heard the words. Obviously, he was very comfortable and said, "I dare not be, sixth brother, my talent is just mediocre. How dare I put my expectations on him?"
Although Li Xiong said so, everyone could hear the pride in his words, and when Zhang Bin heard the words, he immediately sneered in his heart and said silently, "Huh! It's true that your son is talented, but he is stubborn and unruly. If you want to achieve something in kendo, it's hard to reach the sky!"
Li Xiong smiled, looked at the old man who had always looked as usual in the middle of him, and said respectfully, "Big brother, how many of these boys can you find?"
The old man smiled casually and said leisurely, "There are many more boys who came to test this year than last year, and naturally there are a little more talents."
As soon as the old man said this, the other six people couldn't help but put their eyes on the square to find the boy who was seen as a talent by the old man.
The old man didn't care about the reaction of others. He just was silent for a moment and said again, "Among these children who came from afar, one of them can become the new disciples of my Xuanyu Sect. After these, there are nearly a thousand descendants and children of the sect who belong to the power of this sect to be tested. I am more looking forward to that. Among some people, there can be outstanding people.
As the old man said, the other six people moved slightly. Without exception, they all heard the deep meaning of the old man's words. And Li Xiong, while showing a solemn look on his face, was also a little imperceptible joy, because his son was among the second batch of internal boys who were about to participate in the test mentioned by the old man!
Li Xiong thought to himself, "As long as the extraordinary can stand out in this test, and then I will cultivate it carefully. When the plan is implemented in the future, he will make great achievements and improve his status, then the status of our Li family in this sect will be even higher!"
The sword body test is still continuing in an orderly manner. At this time, in the quiet deep mountains, a young figure came out of the tree hole. After standing in place for a few breaths, he raised his feet and resolutely walked towards the square.
That person is Long Yi!
