"ah..."
Accompanied by a series of screams, only five breaths of time passed in the silver power, and more than half of the outer disciples who originally participated in the government examination had fallen.
There were less than thirty people still standing.
"Yes, this month's government examination was better than usual. It seems that some disciples will pass this month."
The old man, Deacon Li, smiled. As he spoke, his eyes fell on a figure in the middle of the field. That person was none other than Li Gui, the second-ranked outer disciple.
"Mr. Li, if you want to pass, except for your nephew, no one else will have a chance."
Zhao Xianming echoed, with a hint of flattery.
"Haha, Li Gui is a good kid."
While the two were talking and laughing, their eyes were indeed on Li Gui. Until the sixth breath, Li Gui remained motionless and seemed to still have some strength left.
"ah!"
"too difficult!"
The sixth breath fell again, leaving less than ten people.
Seventh breath, four remaining.
These four were all at the ninth level of the Linggang Realm. Those who fell just now were also disciples of the ninth level of the Linggang Realm. However, ordinary ninth-level Linggang Realm disciples could not even survive their seventh breath.
"It's really difficult."
Tang Xingfeng murmured that Jiuli Academy deliberately set up this test, and it really did not accept mediocre people. Just imagine, those outer disciples who are at the ninth level of the Linggang Realm, and if their cultivation is further advanced, they will be Spirit Kings, and they can apply to enter the inner sect.
Once you become an inner disciple, there will be no test when entering Jiuli Academy, so many outer disciples do not come to take part in the test.
It should be noted that Tianpo Sect has nearly 100,000 outer sect disciples, and only over 2,000 are here today.
Those who come to take part in the government examination are all outer disciples who think they are extraordinary. Who doesn't want to become famous within the sect, get the attention of the elders of the sect, and soar to the sky.
Hong Sheng is one of the four figures shrouded in silver. His cultivation has not long entered the ninth level of the Linggang Realm, but the other three are all at the peak of the ninth level of the Linggang Realm and have half a foot in it. Entered the spirit king realm.
On the eighth breath, Hong Sheng's legs bent, and his center of gravity sank a little. In an instant, he straightened his body again, his expression unchanged, and he was already using his two conjoined martial arts skills of Four Elephants Body and Black Dragon Absolute Body at full strength.
"Ah, how is that possible!"
"Asshole, just a little bit closer!"
The two figures were driven out in embarrassment by the two deacons. They had obviously failed and were disqualified.
Only Hong Sheng and Li Gui are left with Yinhui's strength.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Tang Xingfeng frowned.
On the eighth breath, his mental power detected that the silver glow around Li Gui's body was a little lighter, while the pressure around Hong Sheng's body was a little stronger.
Of course, this difference is difficult to see with the naked eye, especially the outer disciples next to them who don't have that kind of eyesight at all. How could this little trick escape Tang Xingfeng's eyes.
"It turns out that the old man is causing trouble. It's impossible that Zhao Xianming didn't notice it, and he didn't expose it."
Tang Xingfeng saw through the tricks of the two deacons at a glance. This was collusion! However, he had no intention of disrupting the situation at all. After all, this was Tianpo Sect, not Mingpeng Sect, and he was an outsider.
Tang Xingfeng looked at Hong Sheng silently. If nothing unexpected happened, he guessed that the old man named Li and Li Gui should be family relatives.
In a behemoth like Tianpo Sect, the network of relationships must be complicated.
This is the reality. They have backgrounds, but Hong Sheng does not. It is conceivable that it is not easy for Hong Sheng to gain a foothold in Tianpo Sect.
Ninth breath!
The faces of Hong Sheng and Li Gui changed. They seemed to have reached their limit, but they still refused to fall. Sweat was pouring from their faces and foreheads.
"Wow, how is this possible? It's incredible. Two people actually made it to their ninth breath!"
"Senior Brother Li Gui has broken through to the peak of the ninth level of the Linggang Realm a long time ago. If he can hold on until now, why should that Hong Sheng?"
"Hong Sheng is not simple, he must have someone to rely on..."
"proceed if you can……"
There are discussions among the outer disciples all around. The tenth breath has come. This is the final test!
"Come on! I can't fall! I can't fall!"
Hong Sheng gritted his teeth. He had never been so crazy. Just last month, it happened to be the day when he broke through to the ninth level of the Linggang Realm. He tried a government test. He stopped at the seventh breath.
But today, the pressure he felt during his last few breaths was several times that of his seventh breath!
He didn't want to fall, no matter what, he couldn't fall today, the master was watching him.
"That boy..."
Deacon Li was very dissatisfied. Originally, Li Gui, the younger member of his Li family, was supposed to be the one who surpassed the rest today and passed the government examination. Then, through his recommendation, he attracted the attention of the senior officials in Jiuli Academy. It would be better if he could get the deputy head of the academy to do so. Take on a disciple.
Deacon Li made careful arrangements, but a Hong Sheng appeared. He had to admit that this Hong Sheng was really a genius. He deliberately used some tricks but failed to kick Hong Sheng out.
"Humph, kid, I can only blame you for your bad luck..."
When the tenth breath came, Deacon Li's palms suddenly moved slightly, and Yinhui's energy became active and tilted a little towards Hong Sheng.
Zhao Xianming also frowned and winked at Deacon Li, seemingly showing a hint of dissatisfaction.
In this matter, Zhao Xianming had promised Deacon Li in advance that he would try his best to cooperate, but not go too far. If the outer disciples saw something fishy and spread the word, his reputation would not be ruined.
At this point, Zhao Xianming could only pray that nothing would happen.
"Success, I passed the test! Haha!"
Li Gui let out a wild laugh, and almost at the same moment, Hong Sheng knelt down on one knee.
Hong Sheng's body was so compressed that he couldn't breathe, and all the bones in his body made sounds. He clenched his fists and his nails cut his palms.
"I can't fall!"
boom!
At this time, something changed in the scene. Hong Sheng, who was kneeling on one knee, stood proudly, with two faint shadows, a dragon and an elephant, fleetingly behind him.
Ordinary outer disciples might not be able to catch the phantom of this dragon and elephant, but Tang Xingfeng could see it very clearly, including Zhao and Li, who also saw it.
Deacon Li looked as ugly as if he had seen a ghost, and his old face trembled fiercely.
boom!
Hong Sheng stood up again. Looking at Li Gui, he was affected by the momentum of Hong Sheng. Li Gui lasted for ten breaths. He was already at the end of his strength. He was in the silver power and was hit by this impact again. His body was completely unable to control himself and he rolled over. On the ground.
quiet!
The surroundings were surprisingly quiet. Even the more than two thousand outer disciples who were watching held their breath at this moment, with countless pairs of eyes staring at Hong Sheng.
"Okay, okay..."
The corners of Tang Xingfeng's mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile. I have to say that his apprentice Hong Sheng is a good one!
His eyes were as bright as fire. The method Hong Sheng showed just now was definitely not just a simple four-image body or a black dragon body. The power of the dragon and the image clearly exceeded the heaven-level martial arts. It should have reached the category of supernatural powers.
This is the dragon-elephant magical power that is gained by cultivating two martial arts to an extremely deep level, integrating their essences!
At the ninth level of the Ling Gang Realm, he has realized his own magical power. With such talent and perseverance, as long as he grows up, he will definitely be extraordinary!
"Um...Li Gui passed this government examination. The other disciples will keep up their efforts and come back next month."
After the silence, everyone was immersed in Hong Sheng's explosion. Before they had time to recover, Deacon Li suddenly announced the result, a result that was beyond everyone's expectations.
As for the following words about “keep up the good work”, Deacon Li said it to Hong Sheng, and it was very meaningful.
When Hong Sheng heard this, his face instantly darkened, and his eyes were filled with unwillingness!
