The Unbeatable Emperor
Chapter 16 Annual Assessment Tests
With over thirty thousand taels of silver, Luo Xiu once again came to the shop selling formation devices.
Due to the hunting and fighting in the Shuiwu Mountains of late, Luo Xiu's clothes had been damaged in many places, and did not match up with the people with the beautiful clothes that entered and exited this shop.
“Store guard, provide me with a Spirit Gathering Array formation device Level 1.” Luo Xiu said directly after entering the shop.
The middle-aged shopkeeper behind the counter was slightly surprised, "I really want to buy it objectively? The first-rate spirit gathering array, but it cost ten thousand taels of silver."
Clearly, the shopkeeper had not expected this ragged teenager to be able to afford it.
Luo Xiu did not say much, took out the silver ticket and threw it at the counter.
Looking at the thick pile of silver money, the middle-aged shopkeeper suddenly smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, wait for the destination, I'll take it for you."
After a while, the middle-aged shopkeeper came out with a smooth round wooden box and said, "Objectively, this is the first-rate spiritual gathering formation you want."
When the wooden box is opened, there is a disc with a complicated pattern on it.In the middle of the disc there is a card slot. In addition, there are simple instructions on the lid of the wooden box.
“Do you want to use vitality stone to open it?” Luo Xiu frowned.
“Hehe, I may not know objectively, most additional formation devices require vitality stones to open, only a few combat-type formation devices are somewhat different.” The shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Snap!"
Luo Xiu took out another ten thousand taels of silver tickets and threw them at the counter, saying, "Do you have any vitality stones here? Give me a few pieces."
The middle-aged shopkeeper was overjoyed, and he had not expected the humble young man in front of him to be so luxurious, and he quickly ordered someone to take out a vitality stone.
Soon, another wooden box arrived, containing twenty palm-sized round ores scattered with milky white circles.
Luo Xiu kept his things, and just about to leave, two people walked into the store facing him.
Both are a man and a woman. The man was dressed in white. At first glance, he was a rich man, with a condescending arrogance between his eyebrows.
The woman wore a blue dress, bright eyes and white teeth, attractive bright red lips, a slender figure and white skin.
Looking at these two people, Luo Xiu was slightly surprised, it was Liu Yuxin and Xu Fei.
“Luo Xiu?” Liu Yuxin was a little surprised when she saw it, because as far as she knew, Luo Xiu's condition was completely unable to afford any formation devices in this shop.
“Hmph, his clothes are very damaged, you dare to be embarrassed coming here?” Xu Fei snorted coldly, with disdain on her face.
However, Luo Xiu ignored Xu Fei and walked past them and left the shop.
Seeing Luo Xiu daring to ignore him, Xu Fei's eyes were cold, "Stop me!"
“What's wrong with you?” Luo Xiu turned his head back, frowning, a little impatient.
“I'm talking to you, aren't you listening?” Xu Fei said coldly.
“Why should I hear?” Luo Xiu smiled disdainfully, turned around and left.
“Job!” Xu Fei was furious, but Luo Xiu had left, completely ignoring her intentions.
Xu Fei wanted to teach the poor boy who did not know the height on earth, but Liu Yuxin was beside him, He wanted to maintain his attitude, so he could only endure it.
"There's still half a month for the annual assessment. I want to see how you can become Zhang Hai's opponent!"
...
After exiting the formation shop, Luo Xiu went to the weapon shop again and sold Wang Yun's sword as well as Zhang Hun's bow and arrow, respectively, and he had over eight hundred taels of silver in his hands.
Soon after, Luo Xiu went to the pill shop and spent fifteen thousand taels of silver to buy a bottle of Qi Yang Pills.
However, Luo Xiu did not return to Wudian, but came out of Qingyun City and returned to Mount Shuiwu.
There were beautiful mountains, clear water, and many trees and plants, for Luo Xiu was more suitable for his own cultivation than in Wudian.
Finding a secluded spot, Luo Xiu sat cross-legged, first taking out the disc device from the gathered spirit formation, and placing the vitality stone in the middle groove The lines engraved on it suddenly lit up, emitting a dim light. .
Luo Xiu could clearly sense that the vitality of the nearby heaven and earth seemed to be pulled by a mysterious power, and quickly gathered towards its location.
This was the magical effect of the Spirit Gathering Array, which could condense the vitality of heaven and earth, and within a certain distance, accelerate the cultivation of martial artists.
Luo Xiu immediately took out another Qi Yang Pill, took one and put it into his mouth, then closed his eyes, and performed a Yijin Skill and Bone Forging in the meridian hole in his body.
The vitality of heaven and earth, the core of the plant, the power of the medicinal pill, the pure flow of internal qi condensed within the body, turned into bipolar qi of life and death, refined into five internal organs.
Unknowingly, the sky dimmed, and Luo Xiu had been cultivating for a day.
Luo Xiu could clearly feel that his heart was beating stronger and the strength in his body was getting stronger.
the explosion!
Surging strength appeared on his body, and Luo Xiu suddenly opened his eyes, his face beaming with joy.
"Success, Seventh Body Refining!"
At this moment, the sky was a bit dark, Luo Xiu stood up and moved his muscles and bones, feeling his strength increase by leaps and bounds.
Luo Xiu did not expect that it would only take one day to break through the bottleneck of seven times the purification of the body.According to his knowledge, others of the same age, especially the disciples of the aristocracy, had better cultivation conditions, but it will take half a year.and a longer time can do this step.
“It should be the Life and Death Orb that improves my body, and that is why my cultivation speed doubles.” Thought Luo Xiu.
In this exercise, two nourishing Qi pills were consumed, and two vitality stones were consumed by the first level spirit gathering formation, plus the essence of the plant that was absorbed by swallowing and vomiting. It will take at least a few months until this force is replaced by another. Time can be smoothed.
But Luo Xiu could refine in a very short time, so his cultivation level could increase very quickly.
Furthermore, Luo Xiu never returned to the Martial Hall, always training in the Shuiwu Mountains, going hunting during the day, honing himself in fights with monsters, and training hard at night.
Unknowingly, time passed quietly, Qingyun City Martial Hall, ushering in an annual appraisal.
Students who reach the age of fourteen in the elementary grade and seventeen in the middle class must undergo assessment. If they pass the assessment, they will be promoted. If it fails the judgment, they must leave the temple.
In the vast martial arts arena, there were thousands of Wudian students gathered together, and they spoke in groups, talked and made a fuss.
On the three-meter stage of the competition, a table is placed in the middle, and there is a crystal ball on the table.
This crystal ball was used to test the cultivation formation method, as long as the inner Qi was poured into it, the crystal ball would emit light. According to the brightness of its light, the level of cultivation can be roughly determined.
Many students who would undergo the assessment felt restless, whereas students whose own strength met the requirements, they were calm and composed.
Luo Xiu also rushed back from Mount Shuiwu, first he returned to his residence and bathed and changed into clean clothes, then he came to the appraisal place.
To Luo Xiu, many Wudian students were naturally no strangers at all. It was said that more than two months ago, he had already become a fivefold cultivation base, and he could defeat students in the middle class. Passing this assessment is certainly not a problem. .
However, the fight between Zhang Hai and Luo Xiu was already known to everyone, so when they saw Luo Xiu passing by, many people started talking.
"This Luo Xiu is really brave. Zhang Hai was a genius in the middle class. I heard that he had retired some time ago and he had already become a level eight body purification!"
"Who would say no? Had it not been for Master Lu protecting Luo Xiu, Zhang Hai would have been crippled."
"I heard that Zhang Haixiu should be promoted to an advanced grade in order to achieve eighth level body refining, but he was not prepared to participate in this assessment to avenge his brother. He waited for Luo Xiu to be promoted to the middle class, and then seriously taught him. . "
"This Luo Xiu has long since disappeared. I think he should be scared, so he's hiding."
For most of the people, no one had expected Luo Xiu to be Zhang Hai's opponent.
And Luo Xiu faced the discussions, ridicule, and questions around him, but he was calm and relaxed, relaxed and comfortable, did this fellow not know that Zhang Hai was already capable of purifying the body?
The purification of the body was eight times over, already belonging to the top masters among Wudian students, and only a handful of people who achieved nine times the physical training were in the advanced grade.
If you can break through the nine levels of body purification and promote Qihai to become a martial artist, you can directly graduate from the martial arts hall, and all the forces in Qingyun City would rush to win.
“Quiet!” At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the field of martial arts.
Everyone followed the prestige and saw a blue-robed middle-aged man standing on the competition stage, observing the surroundings, "Those who participated in the appraisal this year, are out!"
Many Wudian students stopped talking and shouted, including Luo Xiu, one after another came out.
In the crowd behind, cold eyes stared at Luo Xiu's back.
“My brother, he passed the exam and was a student in the middle class. When you compete with him, Master Wu Dian will have no reason to stop me, you should help me teach him hard!” Zhang Hao gritted his teeth.
Every time I think of myself being beaten up by that poor boy who is always underrated, Zhang Hao feels humiliated.
“Don't worry, I'd rather not be promoted to an advanced class this time, and definitely help you get revenge!” Zhang Hai nodded and said.
Although it was said that Body Refining Eightfold was already qualified to enter the advanced class, this year Zhang Hai was only fifteen years old, and he was in no hurry.Although with the background of the Zhang family, Zhang Hai was only fifteen years old, some of the benefits that can be enjoyed by advanced classes can be easily obtained.
Old Wudian who was leading the assessment had a list in his hands, and said nonchalantly: "The first one, Yun Tong!"
"Yes!"
A girl from the junior class came out, climbed onto the martial arts stage, and placed her palm on top of the crystal ball.
"Of!"
Accompanied by waves of vibration, the crystal ball bloomed with a brilliant light.
“Yun Tong, the purification of the fifth stage body, which passed the assessment, can be promoted to the middle class!” The elder in charge of the assessment smiled and nodded and announced.
Hearing the confirmation from the elder appraiser, this girl named Yuntong heaved a sigh of relief, and many envious eyes from the audience, especially those who were unsure of passing the assessment.
Immediately after, the appraiser read out their names, and over a dozen people took to the stage for the assessment, including the elementary and middle classes, but only three people passed the appraisal, and the appraiser was not the only one who passed the appraisal, and the others were eliminated. Pack things in three days and leave Wudian.
The rules set by Wudian were not difficult for some noble children, but for students of civil origin, as well, there is almost no hope of achieving fifth-level physical training at the age of fourteen and eighth-degree physical training at the age of 17.
Among students in Wudian, civilians make up the majority.
For the same pencak silat training, there was a difference in talent and talent, only a few had very high talent. For civilian children, perhaps no one can pass the assessment in a few years.
As more and more people failed to pass the assessment, the atmosphere became a little tense, Students who failed the assessment could only cry with sad faces, she said, while the disciples of the noble families who were not far apart were divided into several groups. Insulting, mocking, and laughing.
“Next, Luo Xiu!” On the martial arts stage, the appraiser mentioned his name.
In a flash, countless eyes gathered on the black boy.
Luo Xiu's name became a hit in the martial hall some time ago, and his cultivation surged to the fifth level of body purification in a short period of time.Even the student in the middle class was not his opponent.
Stepping onto the martial arts stage, Luo Xiu looked at the crowd below and saw Zhang Hai and Zhang Hao beside him Behind the two brothers, Lu Feng and the others stood up, staring at him. With cold.
Especially Zhang Hai's gaze that was filled with prideful contempt and indifference. For him, who had broken through to the eighth level of body purification, even if Luo Xiu could pass this test, he was destined to be wiped out by himself and then Wudian was expelled!
There was a sneer at the corner of Luo Xiu's mouth, he wanted to see what these people were like when they saw their cultivation level had reached the seventh level of body purification?
He slowly raised his palm and placed it on top of the crystal ball, filling it with life and death.
"Of! ..."
A bright light suddenly lit up, even more dazzling and attention-grabbing than the light caused by anyone before!
“Nine body purification?” Elder appraiser stood up suddenly, full of horror, but then he recovered calmly, “This is not the purification of the nine bodies, but the purification of the seventh body!”
