After all the results of the spirit stone test were announced, Liu Yuan naturally didn't think there was anything special, but from the perspective of a judging elder like Mu Shaohong who was familiar with previous years' results, this year's overall level could be said to be unprecedentedly good.
According to previous years' experience, only three to five newly promoted disciples can reach the level of A-level. This year, as many as fifteen people were rated as A-level.
The results of other projects are also far higher than in previous years, with an increase of several times. Maybe it's because of this year's intensive training, or maybe it's some other unknown reasons.
"The general standard this year is very high. It seems that tomorrow's competition will be fierce," an elder sitting next to Mu Shaohong lamented, "Brother Mu, do you have anyone you are optimistic about?"
"It's not the ones that the Mu family and the Ren family have vigorously cultivated. To be honest, I don't have any special preferences for brothers. On the contrary, I hope there are some surprises that will be interesting." Mu Shaohong chuckled, but his eyes glanced towards Liu Yuan from time to time. passed.
…
The next project Liu Yuan accepted was the imperial weapon test.
A variety of different magic weapons are lined up on the table, ascending in order of difficulty to control, with the level of judgment on the side. During the test, you only need to choose the magic weapon according to your own ability, and control the magic weapon to reach another table.
A female disciple chose a treasure mirror magical weapon marked with "under armor" difficulty at the beginning.
She closed her eyes and stroked the mirror for a long time, trying to better establish communication.
"The preparation time has come, please cast the spell quickly." The supervising elder reminded.
The female disciple had no choice but to activate her skills and activate her weapon control skills. Her hair was moving without any wind, and her spiritual energy was surging. The precious mirror also floated up in the air. Looking at her frowning and walking on thin ice, it was obvious that she was still a little reluctant.
The treasure mirror moved forward slowly, but it looked unstable and might fall at any time.
After a while, when the elder in charge of the review was getting a little impatient, the treasure mirror finally moved tremblingly to another table, and lost control when it was still about a foot high. It sounded like a "bang-dang" of relief. "With a sound, it fell on the table.
Seeing the expectant look on the female disciple's face, the elder shook his head slightly and reluctantly gave the result: "I passed the first grade, but do I still need to challenge a higher level?"
"Disciple, don't be greedy. Being able to control this precious mirror this time is the limit." She quickly and respectfully replied. It can be seen that the mental consumption of this imperial weapon is not small.
The elder casually said some words of encouragement and then continued with the next round of testing.
Liu Yuan observed a few more rounds, and he found that it is also very important to choose a magic weapon that suits you. If the magic weapon you choose for the first time is too difficult, it will often consume a lot of money after failure. It is also possible to try a lower-level magic weapon. Possibility of failure. If you choose something that is too simple, and then try to challenge a more difficult magic weapon after you succeed, it will be difficult to maintain the initial good state.
So, what is best for you?
Combined with the results of the spirit stone test, his eyes fell on the magic weapon marked "Above".
In fact, he also found that counting from low to high, there were two magical instruments lying there quietly at the end of "A". The adjacent marks were conspicuous black question marks, while the farthest one was red. question mark.
When it was time to rest, Liu Yuan specifically asked the elder what the magic weapon marked with a question mark meant.
Hearing Liu Yuan's question, the disciples at the back couldn't help but chuckle. One of the fast-talking disciples said "overestimating one's own abilities", which caused the elder to glare at him before he stopped.
"Brother, let me explain," Mu Shaohong stood up on his own initiative, and Lang Sheng explained, "the two magic weapons marked with black and red question marks are prepared for those who have extra strength. After all, some people He is gifted with extraordinary talents and possesses mind and spiritual thoughts beyond the Qi refining period.”
Mu Shaohong took a deep look at Liu Yuan again before continuing, "But brothers, I would also like to advise everyone not to be brave and complete what is within your capabilities first. Obtaining results is the first step."
"As for the two magic weapons that give extra points, if you don't feel right after trying them, it's best to give up immediately. The business is to focus on tomorrow's competition."
So do most people.
Sure enough, in the next test, everyone was more cautious, and top B and bottom A were chosen by the most people. There were also two richly dressed children from aristocratic families who successfully tried the armor. However, when they challenged the black question mark magic weapon, they only tried it briefly. They seemed unwilling to consume too much, and their postures were elegant and calm. Not only did they not attract boos, but there were sporadic boos. of applause.
Finally it was Liu Yuan's turn.
He has been observing and inferring the difficulty of each magical weapon based on his own eyesight, especially the armor.
Radical or conservative?
After all, for others, failure in the selection only blocked the way to the main peak to become a core disciple, but for him, Liu Yuan, because of Mu Yuandi's overbearing agreement, it was a matter of fear for his life.
The elder judge signaled that it was time to start. Liu Yuan walked towards the magical artifacts. He walked past several magical artifacts in Category B, then the ones under the first class...the middle ones...
He hasn't stopped yet.
Then he walked to the magic weapon marked "Above", and he stopped, just when everyone thought he would start to control the weapon.
Liu Yuan moved, and then he walked to the magic weapon marked with a black question mark, which attracted exclamations.
Yes.
The first thing he tried was the question mark weapon, which no one had ever succeeded in using.
"you sure?"
Liu Yuan nodded affirmatively.
The elder judge looked at Liu Yuan. This young disciple was dressed in ordinary clothes and did not look like a member of aristocratic family. He was really ordinary. How could he be so arrogant? Moreover, if there is real material, why is it not directly recommended to the main peak.
Eighty percent of them are sensationalists.
This elder has seen countless people and feels that this person is really abrupt. So he waved casually, indicating that it was time to start.
Most of the disciples who were watching had similar thoughts. This boy was probably deliberately trying to gain fame.
Only Mu Shaohong looked solemn. He stroked his five-color feather crest and unknowingly pulled off a feather.
Liu Yuan carefully observed the magic weapon with the black question mark. It was a small clock. The surface of the copper cast is engraved with simple patterns. When I tried to see the pattern clearly, I couldn't help but feel slightly dizzy.
Sure enough, there is some knowledge.
He was ready to try this challenging task in one fell swoop while his mental state was at its best.
Because of the blessing of the Divine Return Technique, he is actually not afraid of consuming too much after failure. In order to score as many points as possible, he actually made the most reasonable choice, which seemed a bit absurd to others.
Liu Yuan held up the small clock, and when his mind connected with it, his hand suddenly trembled, and he froze there.
Liu Yuan was as motionless as a wooden sculpture. Everyone noticed, and some shook their heads. Some directly said that it was indeed the case. Others were yelling, saying that the poses were already done and there was no need to waste any more time.
Liu Yuan remained motionless, and the stalemate was already close to half an incense burner.
The elders were a little frustrated:
"Please start to control the weapon quickly, otherwise put it down and choose another one."
"Wait a moment." Mu Shaohong suddenly said, "Listen to me, brother, haven't you noticed? The communication is still going on."
Just as he was talking, everyone burst into exclamations.
The little bell levitated from Liu Yuan's palm!
