"Old Xu, do you know what this vision is?"
Wang Wu, the attendant in charge of the assessment, asked his companions cautiously.
The companion shook his head and replied: "I don't know very well. I have never seen it before."
"How about... let's read a book?"
"Would it be embarrassing for a dignified official to look through the information temporarily in public?"
"Then... how about we try to contact Mr. Chu?"
"I think... let's read the book!"
As the two attendants spoke, they took out a thick book from the luggage they brought with them and began to read quickly.
At this time, they had to be thankful that the eyes of everyone present were attracted by Gu Xu and the Tianyan Stone beside him, and no one paid attention to their little actions.
A few minutes later, the attendant known as "Old Xu" pointed to a passage in the book and said, "Found it!"
I only saw the description in the book: "The golden crow rises in the morning air, and the jade threshold reflects the morning light. It is a third-level vision, 'the light of the blazing sun'."
"Third grade...it turned out to be third grade!" Another attendant exclaimed repeatedly, "I never expected that this sickly boy would turn out to be a cultivation wizard just like Lord Chu!
"No wonder the Chief of Staff attaches so much importance to this assessment... His master's ability to deduce secrets is unparalleled in the world. Maybe he has anticipated all this."
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and announced to everyone present in a hoarse voice:
"Third grade vision, 'Light of the Blazing Sun'."
There was an uproar.
…………
Gu Xu slowly retracted his right hand.
At this time, the surface of Tianyan Stone was extremely hot.
The blazing light suddenly disappeared, and everything in the world faded away from its bright colors.
After the rain, the world turns back into a black and white ink painting.
Gloomy, monotonous, and lonely.
After hearing this result, Gu Xu's face did not have the joy or excitement that everyone imagined, but was extremely calm.
For him who has the talent of [Destiny Genius], this is really expected.
Even, he still felt a little disappointed——
I spent most of my life in exchange for the talent, and this is it?
Just like that narcissist Chu Fengge?
Chu Fengge was already a Bensan person, and he was still only a fourth-level monk.
If my talent is just the same as his, even if I try my best to practice, can I really break through to the seventh realm before I'm thirty?
He sighed softly and stopped thinking about the uncertain future.
…………
"Brother Gu is indeed an extraordinary person. He can tolerate such big things without being frightened." After the qualification evaluation, Wang Yang immediately stepped forward and said to Gu Xu, "A third-grade qualification...that is something I would never dare to dream about." Something!
"Brother Gu, when you become a big shot like Master Chu in the future, don't forget us brothers! If you don't mind, I can go to your mansion to guard the door for you!"
Shi Xiaohan also said with a smile: "Gu Xu, with your talent, you will definitely become the focus of the Chief of Staff. In the future, the official title will start from the fifth rank. Maybe in a few years, we will all have to call you Master Qianhu. .”
Gu Xu smiled and responded humbly: "I can't say what will happen in the future."
Chen Jisheng watched these young people silently and did not participate in their conversation.
As Gu Xu's unnamed teacher, he knew that this boy had very terrifying understanding and qualifications - he could master the difficult and difficult knowledge of Talismans in just three months, and he could memorize the entire library of knowledge in his mind. The mind can be used freely, and the speed of cultivation is astonishingly fast.
Those proud sons of heaven that big families and sects are proud of are probably nothing more than this.
However, Chen Jisheng also knew very well that having an enviable third-grade qualification only meant that he had amazing potential, but it did not mean that he would definitely grow into a top master.
When a practitioner absorbs the evil spirit into his body, he is living towards death, which is difficult and dangerous.
In the hundreds of years of history of Da Qi, there have been countless geniuses, but many of them were short-lived, and then either died midway or disappeared from the public.
There are very few people who can eventually reach the top and become a giant of the generation.
The "small goal" Gu Xu set for himself - to break through the seventh realm before the age of thirty, is even more impossible.
So, after seeing this dazzling "blazing light", Chen Jisheng felt even more sorry for Gu Xu.
He just felt that God had played a huge joke on Gu Xu - first opened a window for him, and then blocked his life.
…………
After the qualification assessment is completed, the promotion assessment has temporarily come to an end.
The last link, which is also the most challenging practical assessment, will be conducted the next day.
"You can go back and rest," Chu Fengge's two attendants, Xu San and Wang Wu, said to Gu Xu and Ma Qin, "Gather here at the same time tomorrow morning. We will arrange a practical assessment for you. "
Ma Qin raised his hand weakly: "Can I choose to withdraw early?"
"Why?" Xu San asked.
"I don't think I'm his match." He pointed to Gu Xu beside him.
Ma Qin had already deeply felt that the significance of his coming to participate in this assessment was just to serve as Gu Xu's backdrop - to use his own mediocrity to set off the other person's excellence.
He didn't want to be so angry anymore.
"No," Xu San shook his head, "We Daqi monks cannot give up easily."
Ma Qin sighed and could only nod his head in agreement.
At this moment, he had no longer thought about his dream of getting an official position. He just wanted to try his best in tomorrow's assessment without leaving any regrets.
…………
Later, Xu San and Wang Wu lifted the heavy "Tian Yan Stone" and moved it to the official post where Chu Fengge temporarily settled.
"Old Xu, do you feel that this stone seems a little hot to the touch?" Wang Wu suddenly frowned and said with some confusion.
"That's true," Xu San nodded and agreed, "I remember it was always cold before. Now it feels like it has been roasted in a stove."
"It...it won't have any problems, right?" Wang Wu asked nervously.
"There will definitely be no problem," Xu San said with great confidence. "The Tianyan Stone is a magic weapon that the senior officials of the Exorcist Department spent countless amounts of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to refine. It is said to be indestructible. It has been used for nearly a hundred years and has never been seen before. It’s been unusual.”
"Since you said that, I'm relieved." Wang Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
…………
A quarter of an hour later, Xu San and Wang Wu finally moved the "Tian Yan Stone" to Guanyi, panting.
However, just when they placed the "Tian Yan Stone" on the ground, an accident happened——
This piece of magic weapon passed down by the Exorcist Department for hundreds of years and said to be indestructible suddenly appeared a crack.
Immediately afterwards, with a muffled "bang" sound, the Tianyan Stone suddenly exploded and turned into countless fragments, scattered on the ground.
Wang Wu immediately raised his hands: "I didn't do this!"
Xu San also looked innocent: "I didn't do it either!"
"Since you didn't do it, then who did it?" A cold voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Hearing this voice, the two of them turned around and immediately bowed their hands and saluted: "I have met Mr. Chu!"
I saw the exorcist doctor and the fourth realm monk Chu Fengge standing outside the door, leaning on their long swords.
His nose was bruised and his face was swollen, his hair was disheveled, and his body was stained with blood. He looked miserable. He was no longer as handsome, charming, and unrestrained as he was before.
"My lord, we saw nothing."
Seeing this scene, the two followers immediately turned their heads back in fright.
At the same time, they thought with fear: We destroyed the Tianyan Stone, and saw Lord Chu being beaten so miserably... Will Lord Chu chop off our heads in anger?
