Han Donger was surprised and said: "You also have a secret treasure?"
From the moment she met Qin Fan, she felt that Qin Fan was a stupid boy with no power and background who could be exploited by her.
She couldn't accept it when she heard that Qin Fan revealed that he had a secret treasure on his body.
It's like a beggar suddenly saying that he has a savings of over 100 million.
"Otherwise?" Qin Fan asked, then smiled enigmatically and ignored her.
Next, more people returned one after another.
When the time came, the purple-robed man on the high platform immediately announced: "The time is up, the third level test is over."
"Anyone who successfully brings back the Han Ying Gathering Stone within the stipulated time will officially become a disciple of my Ziyun Sect and can participate in the selection of direct disciples."
Not many people passed the third level this time, and the elimination rate was astonishing, with less than fifty people.
Dozens of people never came back and were probably killed by monsters. Of course, he might have died in a conspiracy.
But, who will pay attention to these?
Those who failed the assessment left dejectedly.
The huge square has become empty, and even the occasional wind has a desolate smell.
Han Dong'er whispered in Qin Fan's ear: "The next step is to select a direct disciple. You have to work hard. You must not hide your strength and try your best to win the spot of a direct disciple."
Qin Fan nodded: "I understand."
The purple-robed man flew down and landed firmly in front of the forty-eight people.
Qin Fan couldn't feel his cultivation level. It seemed that the strength of this purple-robed man was not simple.
He glanced at everyone and nodded, with a look of appreciation on his face: "You are all good at passing the third level."
"Congratulations, you have officially become disciples of my Ziyun Sect. You are all eligible to compete for the position of direct disciple. Of course, you can also give up the competition."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was ready to move, and some began to whisper.
The man in purple robe said: "Everyone, please be quiet. After I explain the rules for obtaining personal disciples, it's not too late for you to discuss them."
Everyone immediately fell silent and looked at him attentively.
The man in purple robe said: "There is only one person in the quota of direct disciples. If you want to be elected as a direct disciple, there is only one condition. That is to convince everyone with your strength."
"As long as one person refuses to accept it, he cannot become a direct disciple."
"Whoever has the confidence can stand up first."
Everyone was in an uproar.
"Isn't this asking one person to challenge dozens of people? The conditions are too harsh!"
"Haha, what do you think? I told you a long time ago that it is not easy to be a direct disciple."
"I remember that when selecting direct disciples, the conditions were not so harsh! Has it been changed this time?"
Han Dong'er also whispered in a low voice: "The conditions for selecting direct disciples this time are indeed very harsh. It seems that Ziyun Sect has not only raised the requirements for recruiting disciples, but also raised the requirements for direct disciples a lot."
"I suggest you don't stand out first. Whoever stands up first will be the one who stands out."
Qin Fan naturally understood this truth, but he didn't think it would be that simple.
Others also gathered together to discuss. The issue that Han Donger was worried about just now was exactly what they were thinking about.
No one wants to be the first, they are all waiting for others to be the first to stand up.
Although everyone felt that this sword was too harsh, no one dared to complain anymore, lest the purple-robed man heard it, and the lightning struck him to death, and the lessons from the past were still before his eyes.
Seeing that no one came forward, the purple-robed man seemed a little angry and said coldly: "If no one is willing to stand up and run for direct disciple within three minutes, then this selection will be cancelled."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and anxious. No one wanted to stand out. The man in purple robe obviously saw it. It was obvious that he didn't want to waste everyone's time.
Xiao Nan frowned slightly and glanced in Qin Fan's direction. Seeing that Qin Fan made no move, he resisted his impulse and continued to wait.
"Nanning City, Ye Yuxi has selected his direct disciples, and I hope you can give me some help."
At this time, someone finally couldn't bear it anymore.
A girl in white clothes with a high ponytail and a heroic appearance stood up and spoke loudly.
This woman is tall and has fair skin. Her dress gives people a clean and neat look, like a chivalrous woman in the world of martial arts.
"Ye Yuxi from Nanning City! The eldest lady of the Ye family in Nanning!"
"I didn't expect that Miss Ye would also come."
"Miss Ye is running for personal discipleship. I'm afraid not many people dare to compete with her, right?"
"Even Xiao Nan should give the Nanning Ye family some thin noodles!"
Xiao Nan in the crowd said nothing, but when she saw Ye Yuxi, she couldn't help but frown.
"Who is this Ye Yuxi?" Qin Fan asked Han Dong'er.
He didn't need to ask, Han Dong'er was already ready to introduce it to him.
"Actually, in this area, even though it belongs to the Ziyun Sect, it has dozens of cities under its jurisdiction, a population of tens of millions, and many powerful forces."
"The Ye family in Nanning is one of those powerful forces. Even the Ziyun sect will give them a bit of a thumbs-down."
"I didn't expect that Miss Ye would actually come to Ziyun Sect to become a disciple. It seems that she also came to Ziyun Cave and was determined to get the spot as a direct disciple."
Qin Fan glanced at Xiao Nan, who was standing still, and asked, "What about Xiao Nan? How does the power behind him compare to the Ye family?"
"It's okay to make more concessions, but even the Xiao family, where Xiao Nan lives, has to give some favor to the Ye family." Han Dong'er analyzed calmly.
"So, Xiao Nan has the capital to stand up and compete with Miss Ye family for the spot of direct disciple?" Qin Fan asked with a half-smile.
"Yes." Han Dong'er answered decisively, which represented her affirmation of Xiao Nan's family background.
Qin Fan nodded and stopped talking.
Seeing that no one had the intention to stand up, Ye Yuxi's tense nerves relaxed a little, and a somewhat proud smile appeared on her face.
"Thank you all for your support. The Nanning Ye family will definitely repay this favor twice in the future."
As soon as these words came out, even a few people who were ready to make a move suddenly stopped.
"This is a bit blatant, don't the Ziyun Sect people care?" Qin Fan looked at the indifferent purple-robed man and asked casually.
Han Dong'er whispered: "When running for direct disciples, people from the Ziyun Sect generally won't get involved. People like Ye Yuxi have appeared a lot before. But people from the Ziyun Sect can come, and their family background is also important. A type of strength.”
Qin Fan sneered: "So, when they select their direct disciples, they don't just rely solely on talent and strength?"
Han Dong'er said: "Actually, the people of Ziyun Sect also know very well that those who can pass the three tests will not be any worse in strength and talent. If this is the case, why not choose those disciples with better family backgrounds to train?"
Qin Fan nodded, knowing that what Han Dong'er said was the truth. If it were him, he would do the same.
This will not only enhance the strength of the Ziyun Sect, but also strengthen the connection with the major forces in various cities. Why not do it?
