Not long after, Xu Zhen returned to the woodshed. Sitting cross-legged in the middle of the woodshed, he quickly swallowed the steamed bun in his hand and began to read the records of the Breath Holding Art in his mind.
"When it meets the wind, it becomes the wind. When it meets the water, it augments. When it meets the fire, it burns. When it meets the earth, it becomes wood…"
The highest realm of the Breath Holding Technique was to be compatible with all things, integrating one's aura with the environment. It made others feel like you were a gust of wind or a river!
Of course, Xu Zhen's current practice of the Breath Holding Technique was purely to conceal his own cultivation.
Calming his mind, Xu Zhen sank deeply into his cultivation…
The day after tomorrow was the disciple assessment. That night, Xu Zhen slowly stopped cultivating. If someone with a higher cultivation base was around, they would realize that Xu Zhen's realm had fallen from the Xiantian realm to the spiritual knight realm.
"The Primordial Chaos Reincarnation Scripture is indeed profound. The Breath Holding Technique attached to the Foundation Establishment chapter actually has such a magical effect. It's only a small success, but it can actually make people in the Foundation Establishment realm unable to spy on me, who has just entered the Foundation Establishment realm.”
After a few days of practice, he had achieved a small success in the Breath Holding Technique.
The Breath Holding Art was indeed worthy of the word Breath Holding! However, this small achievement could make people below the Spirit Lord unable to see through his disguise.
"The day after tomorrow is the sect's assessment. Now that I've mastered the Breath Holding Technique, I've already gotten used to the discomfort of entering the Innate Realm. As long as he was careful, there shouldn't be any accidents.”
Looking out the window, Xu Zhen muttered to himself…
However, at this time, Xu Zhen did not expect that the unaccustomed behavior he had revealed a few days ago had already been remembered by an old man…
He peacefully cultivated in the woodshed for a day. It was time for the assessment.
This morning, Xu Zhen woke up early from his cultivation. Although he did not intend to attract any attention, he had already been in this world for half a year. He still wanted to see the assessment of the five great sects in the world.
Perhaps it was because after half a year of fusion, he had gradually entered the character that had fused the souls of Cang Ye and Xu Zhen. Due to the influence of his body, even he himself did not notice it. If he didn't think about it on purpose, he would have already gotten used to thinking that he was Cang Ye and not the Xu Zhen from his previous life.
"Wow, it's really lively. As expected of the five great sects. There were probably close to ten thousand outer sect disciples participating in the recruitment test this time.”
Initially, he felt that he had arrived very early. When he arrived, he realized that there were already nearly ten thousand people in the square.
Most of the outer sect disciples had probably already arrived. The assessment elders had not arrived yet. Most of the disciples were excitedly whispering to each other. A few people who were familiar with each other gathered together and flattered each other.
"Brother Wang, I'm afraid that you'll be occupying a spot among the inner sect disciples this time. He wondered which elder he was fortunate enough to become a disciple of.”
"Aiya, Brother Li, you flatter me. Who doesn't know that Brother Li is talented? His talent was unparalleled. He had already entered the Innate Realm before the official assessment. I wonder how Brother Li managed to break through to the Xiantian realm. Can you tell me about your experience?”
" I was lucky. If it weren't for the protection of the clan elders, I'm afraid Brother Wang wouldn't have been able to see me…" The person called Brother Li said with a face full of lingering fear.
Hearing that someone had also become a Spirit Master, Xu Zhen could not help but stop in his tracks and turn around to observe. But soon, Xu Zhen frowned. Under his perception, there was indeed a surge of Noble Qi circulating in the body of this disciple called Brother Li. However, why was this spiritual energy so…so mottled? That's right! It was Banza!
This was the feeling that Brother Li gave Xu Zhen.
Then, he walked around and observed the disciples who had become spirit masters.
Xu Zhen realized that it wasn't just Brother Li. All the spirit master disciples he observed had extremely mixed spiritual energy.
This discovery made Xu Zhen puzzled. Could it be that something had gone wrong with his cultivation? Or was this a characteristic of the nebulous Primordial Chaos in his body? If that was really the case, he had to hide it well! It was hard to guarantee that no one would want to observe the spiritual energy in other people's bodies like this! If they found out, it would be hard to explain.
Just as Xu Zhen was thinking, a voice interrupted his thoughts.
"All the disciples who are taking the test, listen up. Those who have already become Spirit Masters, come out and stand on the left.”
At this moment, a person appeared in the square and was loudly arranging something.
"I reckon that those Spirit Master disciples didn't need to take the test and were directly accepted into the sect.”
Xu Zhen guessed when he saw a few disciples walking to the left.
As expected, those spirit master disciples were brought directly into the sect by this person. The rest of the disciples were organized by others into a few teams.
Xu Zhen also casually lined up in the crowd according to the requirements.
The team kept moving forward, and soon it was his turn. Seeing the situation of the test, Xu Zhen was very glad that he had mastered the Breath Holding Technique.
At the front of the team was a middle-aged man. The test was very simple. He just walked in front of the middle-aged man and observed him. According to Xu Zhen's senses, the middle-aged man's cultivation base was probably on par with Tian Ling's!
A great sect was indeed a great sect. Even a disciple in charge of the test had such a high cultivation! In some small sects, a heavenly spirit master was a warrior who could be honored as an elder!
Looking at the test in front of him, Xu Zhen flipped through his memories. He knew the reason. Although he couldn't cultivate, Cang Ye still had some common sense in his memories.
In the past, many tests relied on spirit stones. Although this method could quickly determine a person's aptitude, after many accidents, this method of testing was gradually eliminated by those big sects. Only those small sects still used spirit stones to select their disciples.
Xu Zhen walked in front of the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man stared at him indifferently until Xu Zhen felt a little numb. Then, he lowered his head with pity and wrote something down on the paper.
When Xu Zhen left, he quickly drew on the paper and saw a few words.
Xu Zhen, 11 years old, extremely poor aptitude. Cultivation, Beginner Spiritual Knight.
Each realm was divided into four levels: beginner, intermediate, advanced, and peak. The fact that he was a low-level spiritual knight and had poor aptitude meant that according to the records, Xu Zhen had no hope of becoming a spiritual master in this lifetime.
As one of the five sects that stood at the top of the world. If a disciple didn't even have the possibility of becoming an earth spirit master, they would never be accepted as an inner disciple. At most, they would be called an outer disciple and become the sect's manager.
Xu Zhen did not care about this at all because he had no intention of entering the inner sect now. He had only come here to broaden his horizons.
Just as Xu Zhen was about to turn around and leave, he realized that there was an old man standing in front of him with an aura of a master. The old man was staring at him with a burning gaze.
Not long after. Xu Zhen's hair stood on end from the old man's stare.
"Dare I ask, old mister is blocking my way. What can I do for you?"
"Old mister? Am I old? Am I old? Let me tell you, kid, I'm much younger than those old farts! I'm in my prime now. How old are you? How can you understand this old man's true young realm?”
One sentence shattered the image of a master in Xu Zhen's heart. He kept calling him father and old man, but he still said that he was in the prime of his life, and that he was in the prime of his life! Xu Zhen muttered.
"Hmm? What did you say? Do you dare to speak louder!"
"Uh…not old. You're not old at all.”The corners of Xu Zhen's mouth twitched slightly. Damn it, how could a person who clearly had no cultivation and was half a foot in the coffin still have such good hearing?
"En, you're not bad. You can actually see through my beating heart. Very good! Wahahahaha…"
Xu Zhen only wanted to leave as soon as possible. Everyone's eyes gathered on him. He had never felt so embarrassed before, not even when others called him trash. However, facing everyone's gazes, he only wanted to find a hole and carry it in.
Seeing that the old man was intoxicated by some unknown imagination, Xu Zhen immediately escaped from the crowd.
