In the remaining three days, An Yufeng didn't practice the sword control technique. Instead, he focused all his energy on the Sword Qi Finger and the Spirit Splitting Sword Technique. Although the sword control technique was powerful, it could not be used in a short period of time. However, he had already learned the Spirit Splitting Sword Technique and Sword Qi Finger, so he could use them in the outer sect assessment.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The venue for the outer sect disciples 'assessment was not the martial arts field, but the assessment peak. The assessment peak was a small peak. Usually, there were not many people on this peak. It was extremely deserted. However, on the day of the outer sect assessment, this mountain peak would become the most lively place in the entire Sword Sect.
Early in the morning, the sky was slightly bright. There were about three thousand young men standing in a huge square on the Test Peak. These young men were all around seventeen years old, and some were even younger. Although they were small, no one dared to look down on them because they were all geniuses from the cities around the Sword Sect.
It wasn't an exaggeration to call him a genius because it was extremely difficult to reach the sixth level of the Xuan Realm before the age of seventeen. Otherwise, there would be more than 3,000 people in the cities around the Sword Sect, even if they had a population of several million.
Standing in the crowd, An Yufeng looked at the excited youths around him and could not help but feel a little emotional. When he first arrived at the Sword Sect, he looked similar to these youths. However, after experiencing the life of a servant disciple, whether it was his mind or other aspects, he had become mature. Of course, he would not be as excited as the surrounding disciples.
To him, being an inner disciple was his goal. It was not that he was biting off more than he could chew, but he was very confident in himself now.
When a red sun slowly rose into the sky and the sunlight scattered on the Assessment Peak, three outer sect elders appeared on the sword platform in front of the square. Seeing the appearance of the three elders, the disciples below the sword platform suddenly became restless. It was not because of the elders, but because the assessment was about to begin.
Looking at the three thousand disciples below the stage, Cao Huo frowned slightly. His gaze swept left and right before he finally sighed softly and said,"There are only 3,200 or so this year, which is much less than last year. If this continues, our Sword Sect will be powerless!”
Feng Yu, who was beside him, nodded and said,"That's right. I heard that Sky Origin Sect has around 100,000 geniuses participating in each outer sect examination. The Second Palace also has tens of thousands of geniuses, and the other two sects also have tens of thousands. "Our Sword Sect only has a few thousand. If this continues, if we don't lower the admission standard, our Sword Sect's outer sect will probably be in an awkward situation where there are no more people!”
"Lowering the standard is only a temporary solution!”Elder Qian shook his head and said,"If we lower the standards, the Sword Sect will be weaker with each generation and eventually become a second-rate force. "I think the main thing is to fight for resources. If a Sword Sect disciple can make it to the Proclamation of Azure Sky and we can get a few more cities, this situation will definitely change!”
Hearing the Proclamation of Azure Sky, Feng Yu and Cao Huo immediately sighed softly. Cao Huo smiled bitterly and said,"Scammer, how could the sect master and the others not know this? But how difficult was it to enter the Proclamation of Azure Sky? Which one of those freaks on the Proclamation of Azure Sky wasn't a heaven-defying fellow? Especially those freaks from the Royal Academy and Yuan Gate. Even if we go, we might not be able to please them!”
Feng Yu sighed and said,"Thinking back to a hundred years ago, my Sword Sect was at its peak. At that time, even Yuan Gate had to retreat when the sword was unleashed." He didn't expect that after a hundred years, it would decline to this extent.”
Elder Qian revealed a bitter expression and said,"That's right. In recent decades, ever since Fairy Su entered the Proclamation of Azure Sky, no one has been able to make it into the Proclamation of Azure Sky, causing our Sword Sect to be in such a situation. In the end, it's all because we failed to live up to expectations back then!”
Cao Huo's gaze swept over everyone below and said,"" I heard that there's a sixteen-year-old youth from the River Snow City who has reached the ninth level of the Xuan Realm to take part in the assessment. If he didn't use pills or other external items to improve, this kid would definitely become another monster of our Sword Sect!”
Feng Yu nodded with a smile and said,"I've heard of it too. This youth seems to be called Jiang Yuan. It's said that he's known as the most outstanding genius in the past hundred years in Jiangxue City." If the rumors were true, he should be able to become the number one disciple in the outer sect after those guys on the outer sect ranking become inner sect disciples!”
Elder Qian, who was standing at the side, sneered. The most outstanding genius in the past hundred years? Was he as monstrous as An Yufeng's Five Elements Gold Xuan Qi? If people knew that An Yufeng possessed the Gold Celestial Chi of the Five Elements Celestial Chi, the peak masters and elders of the Sword Sect would be shocked. However, he wouldn't say it out loud. He respected An Yufeng's choice.
At this moment, Cao Huo raised his head and looked at the sun above his head. He then said,""Old Feng, you will preside over the first round!”
Hearing this, Feng Yu adjusted his mood and took a few steps forward. Looking at the slightly immature youths below, a touch of relief appeared in his eyes. He raised his hands and the originally noisy sounds below immediately disappeared. Everyone was completely silent.
" Everyone," Feng Yu said," I'm an outer sect elder, Feng Yu. You can call me Elder Feng. I'm one of the candidates for this assessment." "Firstly, this old man welcomes you on behalf of the Sword Sect. Secondly, this old man congratulates you because the fact that you can stand here represents that you are extraordinary. Even if you can't become an outer sect disciple of the Sword Sect, your achievements in the future will definitely be extraordinary."
After talking for a long time, Feng Yu entered the main topic and said,"This assessment is divided into three stages. The first stage tests your cultivation base. The purpose of this round was to eliminate those who had increased their cultivation level by taking medicinal pills, as well as those whose cultivation level was not stable. Now, I will release the pressure of a King's Realm. Those who can endure it will pass!”
After he finished speaking, Feng Yu's figure moved and he appeared above the three thousand youths. Then, he circulated the Profound Qi within his body and a terrifying aura surged out from his body. Finally, it pressed down on everyone below like a small mountain.
"Ah!"
Some youths were caught off guard and directly collapsed to the ground under this pressure. In less than 15 minutes, almost half of the people had fallen, and they were still falling.
Seeing that half of the youths had fallen, Elder Qian and Cao Huo on the sword platform frowned deeply. The quality was too poor!
In a certain place, a group of youths in green robes were looking at the youths on the square. There were about fifty of them, and Xiao Qingyu, who had a three-month appointment with An Yufeng, was among them. However, to everyone's surprise, Xiao Qingyu, who was ranked 19th on the Outer Gate Roll, was in the middle instead of the front.
If there were outer sect elders here, they would think that this was very normal. This was because these 50 outer sect disciples were disciples on the outer sect ranking. They were the most elite group of outer sect disciples. Xiao Qingyu could only be considered average among this group of people.
When they saw that half of the people had fallen in less than 15 minutes, the leader, a young man with a black mole at the corner of his mouth, shook his head and said,"Whether it's the quantity or quality of the outer sect disciples this time, they're far inferior to our batch. Boring, boring! I hope that the most outstanding disciple in the past 100 years in Jiangxue City will not disappoint me!”
A round-faced youth beside the black-moled youth shook his head and said,""Back then, we had five thousand disciples, but only about a thousand of them fell in the first round. As for this batch, from the looks of it, two thousand would probably fall. If Elder Feng did not hold back, there would probably be more! As for that so-called genius, if he was really the legendary ninth-grade cultivator at the age of sixteen, he could be considered a monster!”
"Monster?" The mole-covered youth sneered and said,""Even if he reached the Innate Realm at the age of sixteen, he wouldn't be called a monster in the outer sect. With that demoness around, who would dare to call himself a monster in the outer sect?”
Hearing the words " demoness ", the surrounding youths 'expressions changed, and fear appeared in their eyes. After a while, the round-faced youth smiled bitterly and said,""That demoness took first place on the outer sect rankings the moment she arrived at the Sword Sect. I heard that she often went to fight with the outer sect elders. With such talent, others say that we are monstrous.”
The mole-faced youth sighed softly and said,""Under her light, the elders almost ignored us, the second and third on the outer sect rankings. We have to work hard. Otherwise, when we meet in the future, she might ignore us like the other disciples!”
The round-faced youth nodded in agreement. He was originally a genius among geniuses, but after meeting that demoness, he did not dare to say that he was a genius anymore. That demoness was really too much of a blow.
......
In the arena, An Yufeng was completely unaffected by the King's Realm pressure. His foundation was very stable, and he had experienced life and death battles. He had also experienced the pressure of a Spirit Realm cultivator. Against the pressure of a King's Realm cultivator, especially one that Cao Huo had held back, he was not affected at all.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked to his right. At this moment, on his right, a youth around the age of sixteen was looking at him. The young man was dressed in a gorgeous white robe and was handsome. Although his face was a little tender, his entire body had a rich aura. However, the arrogance on his face was not concealed.
Of course, the most important thing was that the young man was like him, unaffected by the King's Realm pressure. An Yufeng was slightly surprised.
Seeing An Yufeng looking at him, Jiang Yuan immediately retracted his gaze and said in a low voice,"Looks like this outer sect assessment isn't all trash. It's good to have a good-looking green field as a foil. Otherwise, it'll be too boring!”
An Yufeng retracted his gaze and closed his eyes to rest. The other party might be quite strong, but it was meaningless to him.
An hour later, Feng Yu withdrew his aura and turned around to fly onto the sword platform. When he saw that only a thousand youths were left, Feng Yu shook his head slightly and sighed softly. He had already held back, but he had never thought that so many people would still be eliminated. One could imagine how he felt.
As soon as Feng Yu withdrew his aura, many people immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing this scene, An Yufeng secretly shook his head. If Elder Feng continued, or if the pressure was a little stronger, many people would probably fall.
Looking at the fallen youths beside him, Jiang Yuan's lips curled into a disdainful sneer as he said in a low voice,""Trash, you can't even withstand the pressure of a mere King's Realm!”After saying that, he turned to An Yufeng with a playful smile.
Seeing the young man's expression, An Yufeng frowned. There were so many idiots looking for trouble these days!
At this moment, Elder Qian took a few steps forward and looked at the remaining 1,000 youths. He said,""Those who are already lying down, immediately go to the side. Those who are still standing, immediately meditate and rest.”
