When Xu Zimo and Lin Ruhu arrived in front of the sect, the trial to recruit new disciples had already begun.
The one hundred and eighty-eight steps were now densely packed with disciples.
At the top of the steps, there are two outer sect elders and an inner sect elder responsible for assessment.
The inner sect elder was from the Great Elder's faction. When he saw Xu Zimo arriving, he just snorted lightly and ignored him.
But one of the outer sect elders was from Xu Qingshan's lineage, and he was extremely enthusiastic.
"Nephew Zimo is here," the elder said with a smile.
"Hello, Elder Jin," Xu Zimo smiled and said, "How was this year's freshman trial? Are there any good seedlings?"
The inner sect elder ignored Xu Zimo, so Xu Zimo didn't bother to pay attention to him and started chatting directly with Elder Jin.
"There are a few good ones," Elder Jin replied: "Look at the disciples on the eight steps in front, they are relatively good."
There are one hundred and eighty-eight steps in front of Zhenwu Shengzong. The last one hundred steps have twice the gravity, the eighty steps in the middle have five times the gravity, and the eight steps at the front have ten times the gravity.
Xu Zimo took a look and found that Baili Xiao was among them, so he asked: "Isn't that girl brought back by the Sixth Elder? Why does she have to participate in the trial?"
"She requested it herself, we can't refuse," Elder Jin said with a smile.
Xu Zimo smiled and said nothing. This girl was much more mature than expected.
Her identity suddenly changed from an ordinary girl in a small mountain village to the niece of the sixth elder of the Zhenwu Holy Sect.
But she didn't get lost in it, instead she was able to remain herself.
Xu Zimo raised a smile on his lips and murmured to himself, "He is indeed the successor chosen by the Empress!"
…………
"If Nephew Zimo wants to win over others, he might as well give them a try."
Later, Elder Jin began to introduce these disciples who were talented in the trial to Xu Zimo.
The disciple standing at the front of the eight steps is a young man with a long sword on his back and fluttering white clothes.
There was a sharp edge in the young man's body. Although the gravity on the steps was astonishing, it was difficult to even take a step forward.
But he still looked calm and showed no intention of backing down.
"He is a child of the Huang family in Northwest City," Elder Jin said, "his name is Xue Buhui, and he is the most talented one in this generation."
"Why do the children of the Huang family come to our Zhenwu Holy Sect?" Lin Ruhu asked curiously.
Although the Huang family cannot be compared with the Zhenwu Holy Sect, they are also a big family in the northwest city.
The founder of the Huang Family was the Sword God, a powerful man of the same era as Emperor Yin Tian.
Legend has it that he also competed with Emperor Yin Tian for destiny, although he ultimately failed.
But how can a person who is qualified to compete with the emperor for destiny be mediocre?
The children of the Huang family definitely have no privileges when they come to the Zhenwu Holy Sect. They are just like ordinary disciples.
If you want good cultivation resources, you have to fight for them yourself. It's better to stay in their deserted home!
"He is the bastard son of the Huang family, his mother was just a humble maid, and his birth was just an accident," Elder Jin explained: "He did not get good resources in the Huang family, but was targeted everywhere.
His name is Yan Buhui, and he is named after his mother. "
"He's pretty good," Xu Zimo said with a smile, recalling the memories of his previous life: "One day he will carry the glory of his ancestors and pass on the glory of the Sword God."
"Nephew Zimo is so optimistic about him?" the inner sect elder said disdainfully.
Xu Zimo glanced at the inner sect elder and said calmly: "Yu Nu Wu Gua."
The inner sect elder looked embarrassed, snorted coldly, and ignored him.
"I won't say much about the girl named Baili Xiao. I heard that the Sixth Elder loves her very much, and I guess her talent is not much different," Elder Jin continued.
"Further down the steps, the two girls are twins, one named Xue Qianxue and the other named Xue Mengmeng.
They are locals from Xiaoyang Town under our Holy Sect. The last head of their Xue family was the inner elder of our Holy Sect.
Before they came this time, the head of the Xue family came to me specifically, hoping that I could take more care of them.
They are twins. I heard that they have practiced a combined attack technique. When the two of them use it together, the power of the technique can be doubled.
Originally, it would be difficult for them to step into the first eight steps with their strength, but due to the blessing of the combined attack technique, their talent can be considered barely adequate. "
Xu Zimo smiled, he still had an impression of these two twins.
If I remember correctly, these two people later became Baili Xiao's maids, and it can be said that they were extremely prosperous.
“Further down, that big guy is called Gao Xiong,” Elder Jin continued: “He comes from an ordinary mountain village in Shiwanda Mountain.
His realm can be said to be the lowest among these people. He is only at the ninth level of the mortal realm and has not even entered the spiritual vein realm.
But his body is the one with the most potential I have seen in these years. He has stepped into the first eight steps purely by relying on the power of his body. "
After listening to Elder Jin's introduction, Xu Zimo said to Lin Ruhu: "Ruhu, let's go to the trial too, so as not to be gossiped about by others."
"Okay," Lin Ruhu nodded indifferently.
The two of them walked down the mountain and started walking forward step by step from the first step.
There are not many hard requirements for walking this step. You are not allowed to use defensive spiritual weapons, and you must walk one step at a time.
Even if you can climb several steps at once, you are not allowed to do so.
Xu Zimo stepped onto the steps and felt gravity coming from all directions. His originally somewhat illusory state of advancing to the ninth level of pulse condensation was consolidating little by little, and the spiritual energy in his body became more and more solid.
"Ruhu, don't resist these gravity, try to integrate with gravity," Xu Zimo warned: "This will not only reduce the weight of gravity, but also better temper yourself."
Lin Ruhu nodded. His talent was no worse than Xu Zimo's, especially after practicing "Strength Jue", the muscles on his body became more and more obvious.
There are already signs of a bulge, and he is expected to turn into a muscular man in the future.
…………
With a satisfied look on his face, Xu Zimo stepped up the steps step by step, tempering himself while allowing himself to merge into gravity.
He walked for more than ten minutes, taking his time and walking through the last hundred steps of double gravity.
Then there were eighty steps with five times the gravity. Xu Zimo stood on it and adjusted the gravity slightly, and then walked up calmly.
Lin Ruhu was not to be outdone. Although it was always a bit difficult, he could still keep up with Xu Zimo's pace.
Finally, the two of them walked up the eighty steps and arrived at the last eight steps.
According to the rules of Zhenwu Shengzong, as long as you can walk up to the steps with ten times the gravity, you will actually pass.
