"Answer me, do you still have... questions?"
"Qiang!"
The Dark Star Soul of the Demon Sword made an excited trembling sound. On the Sky Platform and the Northern Lizard Peak, everyone's hearts were in their throats, as if they were about to burst through their chests in the next second...
Just a second ago, almost everyone thought that Xiang Jiansheng was going to be beheaded. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Xiao Nuo directly stopped the sword. The scene changed in the electric light and flint, and the scalp was exciting. All tingling.
The blade of the black magic knife exuded a chill that penetrated into the bone marrow, and drops of cold sweat dripped from Xiang Jiansheng's face.
He had never felt that death was so close to him.
To be honest, if Xiao Nuo hadn't sheathed the knife, he would have probably died in vain.
Although Piaomiao Sect has a clear rule that no one can kill anywhere in the sect except the life and death platform, this duel was provoked by Jian Sheng himself.
Even if Xiao Nuo is punished, it probably won't be too severe.
"I..." Xiang Jiansheng's face turned pale, and he was caught in a dilemma.
Xiao Nuo stared at the other party coldly: "Answer me, did I cheat?"
My heart trembled at the sound of the sword, not knowing how to respond.
Seeing that he didn't answer the two questions, Xiao Nuo tightened the magic knife in his palm, and his voice suddenly turned cold: "Answer me, who is... a chicken or a dog?"
"Bang!"
A surging air flow emanated from behind Xiao Nuo, his robes lifted, and sand and dust rose up.
The last line of defense in Xiang Jiansheng's heart was immediately broken through. His body shook violently, and then he bent his knees and knelt feebly in front of Xiao Nuo.
"despair!"
"Uh ah..." Xiang Jiansheng made a trembling sound in his throat, and cold sweat couldn't stop breaking out: "I, I lost, it was me who lost..."
At this moment, he bowed his head arrogantly to the sound of the sword.
At this moment, the inference that Xiao Nuo cheated was completely broken.
The expressions of everyone in the audience changed again and again. Liu Fang, Wu Ao, Lie Tao, Yuan Chengqian and other geniuses all became Xiao Nuo's background.
No one dared to doubt Xiao Nuo's strength anymore.
"It's so exciting!" Luo Ning kept shaking her head, her eyes flashing with light: "Those who pushed him to the 'Nirvana Palace' should regret it to death."
Li Ran next to him couldn't help but sneer: "I guess those elders are going to stab themselves in the eyes."
Luo Ning and Li Ran witnessed Xiao Nuo being squeezed out with their own eyes. None of the elders in the fourth hall wanted him.
As a last resort, Xiao Nuo was arranged to the Nirvana Hall.
Unexpectedly, in just over a month, Xiao Nuo would bring such a powerful shock. I don’t know what the elders who were responsible for the reception at the Piaomiao Ladder would think?
"Assessment, continue!"
The person in charge of the assessment hidden behind the scenes reminded.
Everyone on the platform was stunned for a moment, as if they just remembered that the assessment was still in progress.
Then, the assessment continued.
One after another, the third-grade disciples entered the Illusory Demon Tower. Perhaps because what happened in front affected their minds, most of the people behind them were a little absent-minded.
Guan Xiang, Luo Ning, and Li Ran also conducted their own assessments.
Although Guan Xiang successfully killed the blood demon, he failed to enter the top ten because of too long a delay, thus failing to advance to the second level disciple.
Luo Ning passed the sixth level with his considerable strength, but because the blood demon's initial power was too strong, Luo Ning took the initiative to give up when he entered the seventh level.
Li Ran also fell on the sixth floor.
Both of them failed, but for newcomers, this result was quite good.
…
It wasn't until late afternoon that the second phase of the assessment came to an end.
The rankings on the list have not changed much.
Xiao Nuo topped the list with a score of "ninety-eight numbers".
Behind them were Xiang Jiansheng, Liu Fang, Lie Tao, Yuan Chengqian, Wu Ao and others.
The outstanding ones among the third-grade disciples were basically promoted smoothly.
…
Beizi Peak Plaza!
"The Phantom Demon Tower assessment is over!"
Elder Xiu walked to the front of the high platform and officially announced the end.
Everyone who had been waiting at Beili Peak for nearly a day let out a sigh of relief.
"Phew! It's finally over."
"Actually, after the assessment of Xiao Nuo, the interview was over, and there was no sense of expectation at all for the subsequent assessment."
"Hahahaha, I feel the same way. This year's assessment is really surprising."
"That's right, Liang Xingchen's records have been broken. I never expected it."
"..."
Amid everyone's exchanges, the 100-foot silver ball suspended above Beizi Peak Square sent out a wave of psychic energy.
"Buzz!"
Then, beams of light broke through the inside of the magic ball one after another, and the silver magic ball emitted Haotian light like the sun.
"Boom!"
Instantly, a chaotic air current expanded between heaven and earth, the magic ball exploded in the void, and at the same time, a huge light pillar penetrated into the center of the square.
"Wow!"
A dazzling light flashed, and everyone on the platform returned to the North Lizard Peak.
"Huh, I'm back."
"This year's assessment is over."
"We have to start working hard again and strive to advance next time."
"..."
Some are happy, some are sad, and some are unyielding.
On the high platform to the north, all four examiners had stood up from their seats.
"This year's assessment has come to an end. I have to say that something unexpected happened this time..."
Lin Ruyin, the deputy master of Taihua Palace, had a cold voice, and her deep eyes fell on Xiao Nuo in the crowd.
With ninety-eight numbers, Xiao Nuo set a new record.
Even in the first stage of the climbing test, he achieved the record of being the first person to climb to the top without the aid of the Blue Soul Crystal.
After today, Xiao Nuo's reputation in the Piaomiao Sect is bound to skyrocket.
"The following ten people have successfully been promoted to second-grade disciples of our sect..."
Lin Ruyin began to make the final settlement of this assessment.
"First place, Nirvana Hall, Xiao Nuo!"
"Second place, Juexian Palace, Xiangjian Sheng!"
"Third place, Guixu Palace, Liu Fang!"
"fourth place……"
After the reading, Lin Ruyin's eyes fell on Xiao Nuo again.
"The first place winner will be rewarded with a 'Yin Yang Vitality Pill' and an Earth Grade Martial Arts..."
Lin Ruyin raised her hand gently, her white fingers swaying like petals.
"call out!"
A beautifully crafted brocade box flew out of her hand.
Xiao Nuo raised his eyes slightly and reached out to take the brocade box into his hand.
"What's inside is the 'Yin Yang Vitality Pill'." Lin Ruyin said.
There were envious eyes from all directions.
Xiao Nuo held the brocade box with a flash of light in his eyes.
With this "Yin Yang Vitality Pill", his own strength will definitely help.
At this moment, Xiao Nuo also truly understood the benefits of entering the sect, as he had the opportunity to obtain various resources.
"As for Dipin Martial Arts, after tomorrow, you can go to the 'Zongmen Martial Arts Pavilion' to get it. When you go, someone will receive you."
Lin Ruyin continued.
Xiao Nuo nodded slightly.
"The reward for second place is also a ground-level martial arts..." Lin Ruyin turned to the sound of swords.
Before she could finish her words, Elder Xiu said, "Well, the second place just lost the bet with the first place. The reward for the second place will be paid to the first place."
As soon as Elder Xiu said these words, he screamed with hatred at the sound of the sword.
Originally, Xiang Jiansheng wanted to get away with it, but Elder Xiu had so many things to do and interfered in the junior's private affairs.
Lin Ruyin was a little speechless. I never saw this old man being nosy, right?
However, the gambling fight between Xiang Jiansheng and Xiao Nuo was obvious to all. Lin Ruyin hesitated for a moment and said, "Then the reward for the second place will be transferred to the first place..."
The square was even more noisy, and everyone was really envious and jealous of Xiao Nuo.
In this case, Xiao Nuo can go to the Martial Arts Pavilion to receive two earth-grade martial arts.
A piece of ground-level martial arts is already priceless.
Now that he got two of them at once, Xiao Nuo would be so happy.
Looking back at Xiang Jian Sheng, his face was ashen. Not only had the second place caught nothing, but from today onwards, he would be treated as a joke.
Later, Lin Ruyin presented awards for third to tenth place.
The third place got a top-grade martial arts, and the others got some elixirs and some spiritual weapons.
In comparison, the second place Xiang Jiansheng was not too miserable.
The assessment is officially over.
Everyone on Beili Peak began to disperse one after another.
But at this moment, an "uninvited guest" that surprised everyone stepped into the center of the square.
"Wait, do you think who is that?"
"Huh? Who is that person?"
"how come?"
"..."
The invisible edge opened a wide road in the crowd.
"call!"
The wind blows in the face, and the majestic atmosphere seems to be covered by wind and clouds.
The person who came was unexpectedly the swordsman... Liang Xingchen!
In an instant, even the four assessors who were about to leave couldn't help but stop. The person Liang Xingchen was targeting was none other than Xiao Nuo...
