Chapter 405: Swordsmanship Assessment
Xiao Ye, on the other hand, seemed to understand something.
He's not stupid. If he still doesn't know what happened, he's really hopeless.
"Thank you." Xiao Ye whispered to Leng Ya.
"It's a small thing." Leng Ya shook his head.
"Is this considered a back door?" Xiao Ye joked.
Leng Ya was silent for a moment and nodded slowly: "That's right."
"Don't be too happy too early. Only when you have truly reached the other side can you be considered a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sword Sect." The boatman couldn't help but interjected: "This level in the lake is not that easy."
"If you don't have a strong swordsmanship talent, I advise you to go back."
He said this last sentence to Xiao Ye.
"Senior, please give me some advice." Xiao Ye cupped his fists and said to the boatman.
"Senior, I don't dare to be a boatman. I'm just a boatman." The boatman laughed and shook his head, slowly rowing the oar in his hand. The boat was in his hands and slowly sailed towards the center of the lake.
"The Xiaoyao Sword Sect is established with swords. It is different from other immortal cultivation sects. The sect values the talent of swordsmanship. If other talents are not good, it is okay, but if there is no talent of swordsmanship, the sect will not accept them."
"That is to say, even if you pass the assessment, if you don't have good swordsmanship talent during the talent test, you will be rejected?" Xiao Ye thought thoughtfully.
"That's right." Leng Ya nodded and said, "But those who come to take the assessment have basically tested their own swordsmanship talents, so this doesn't matter."
When Xiao Ye heard this, he couldn't help but ponder. Others didn't know his situation, but he himself didn't know that when he was in Xingchen Jiange, he was rejected by Xingchen Jiange because of his lack of talent in swordsmanship.
Do all kendo sects value kendo talent?
Thinking of this, Xiao Ye couldn't help but get a headache. If tested, he would definitely be eliminated.
"We're here." Just as Xiao Ye was deep in thought, the boatman suddenly said.
Only then did Xiao Ye realize that the boat had reached the center of the lake unknowingly.
"Go, you two should be the last wave of people, the others have already entered the sword sea."
Leng Ya jumped directly from the boat and landed on a platform in the center of the lake.
"Is this a teleportation array?" Xiao Ye landed next to Leng Ya, looked at the teleportation array in front of him, and couldn't help but ask.
"Well, this is the teleportation formation leading to the Sword Sea. Only by leaving our names on the sword list through the Sword Sea can we be considered inner disciples of the Xiaoyao Sword Sect?" Leng Ya nodded.
"Sword list?"
"Inner disciple?"
Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment, why did this not match the information given by the Book of Stars?
"Even if you pass the exams outside, you are still an outer sect disciple, and ours is an inner sect disciple's exam." Leng Ya explained.
"Is this fair?" Xiao Ye couldn't help but ask.
"Fair?" Leng Ya looked Xiao Ye up and down, shook his head and said, "There is no absolute fairness in this world. Praying for fairness is the cry of the weak."
"In the world of cultivating immortals, there is no fairness, only chance. Your meeting me is just a chance. But if you want to pass the test like them and become an outer disciple, and then work hard for decades to become an inner disciple, you can do that too. Give up this opportunity."
Leng Ya's voice was calm.
Xiao Ye was dumbfounded. What Leng Ya said was not unreasonable, but for Xiao Ye who was not in the world of immortality, this theory was somewhat incomprehensible.
The teleportation array fluctuated and the two figures disappeared on the platform in the center of the lake.
The boatman parked the boat leisurely beside the platform. He was done with his work and it was time to rest.
When he came to his senses again, Xiao Ye found that he and Leng Ya appeared in a small world.
Underfoot is the deck. It seems to be a big ship.
"This is the small world where the Sword Ranking is located - Sword Sea!" Leng Ya explained: "The next assessment will be completed here."
Xiao Ye glanced around and found that the place was already filled with many people.
Strangely, there were several looming blue lotuses floating above their heads.
"Who is this person? A sword lotus, how dare you come to participate in the sword sea trial!"
While the two were talking, a voice suddenly sounded, and at the same time, countless eyes fell on Xiao Ye.
Only then did Leng Ya notice that there was only a green lotus looming above Xiao Ye's head.
"This..." Leng Ya was stunned for a moment, wondering if he had made a mistake. The companion he found according to the clues actually only had the sword talent of a sword lotus.
"What's going on?" Xiao Ye didn't know why.
The phantom of the green lotus on his head was looming, as if it would disappear at any time.
"Kendo Qinglian embodies a person's swordsmanship talent. The more Qinglian, the stronger the swordsmanship talent, and the farther the distance he can walk in the sea of swords!" Leng Ya explained weakly. I no longer have high hopes for the trial.
Xiao Ye looked around.
On the deck, above everyone's head, there is a sword Qinglian floating.
The woman in front, eleven kendo green lotuses...
The man on the left has fifteen kendo green lotuses...
The man on the right, Qinglian, a master of more than twelve kendos...
Looking at the top of Leng Ya's head, Xiao Ye was startled. There were thirty kendo green lotuses.
The more kendo green lotuses there are, the stronger the kendo talent. The least number of people here have ten sword lotus green lotuses, but the one with the most is not Leng Ya, but a woman in white with a total of thirty-five kendo green lotuses.
Xiao Ye's kendo green lotus stands out among the entire crowd.
The presence of Xiao Ye also aroused the attention and discussion of people around him.
Even though Xiao Ye was a bit thick-skinned, he was a little overwhelmed.
"Brother Xiao, your swordsmanship talent is so poor, why did you come to participate in the examination of Xiaoyao Sword Sect?" Leng Ya asked quietly.
"Ahem." Xiao Ye couldn't help coughing twice, not knowing how to answer.
Xiao Ye communicated with the Book of Stars and couldn't help but cursed: "Why are you so unreliable and don't say anything about such an important thing?"
The information given by the Book of Stars did not mention the sword talent at all. If he knew this, Xiao Ye would not use this method. The sword talent was not strong and he would not be able to pass the test. If he had not met Leng Ya, Xiao Ye would Ye estimated that Xiao Ye had been eliminated.
"Forget it, the matter has come to this, and there is no other way." Leng Ya sighed. From the moment he brought Xiao Ye in, he was already bound to Xiao Ye. Even if he wanted to regret it now, it would be impossible. .
"Hey, isn't this great genius Leng? He rejected me just to find such a loser?" A sneer came, and a man with twenty kendo green lotuses on his head pushed through the crowd and walked over.
"None of your business." Leng Ya glanced at the person without any intention of paying attention to him.
"Leng Ya, don't think that you can be so arrogant just because you have some talent. Today you have a loser with you. Let me see how arrogant you can be." The man said coldly.
"Don't pay attention to him, he's an idiot." Leng Ya said to Xiao Ye.
The man was so angry that he was trembling all over, but there was nothing he could do against Leng Ya.
On the sword boat, you are not allowed to use your hands, otherwise you will be deprived of your spot!
"His name is Huang Daotian. He wanted to form a team with me before, but unfortunately I rejected him, so he has a grudge against me. Please pay attention, be careful if he does something to you." Leng Ya whispered to Xiao Ye.
"Can we do something here?" Xiao Ye was a little curious.
Leng Ya shook his head and said: "Not on the ship, but soon there will be no such restriction in the sword sea, but don't worry, you only have one sword blue lotus, you can't go far in the sword sea, they shouldn't Wasting time to trouble you..."
"After talking for a long time, you still haven't told me what's going on." Xiao Ye couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
Leng Ya was silent for a moment and said slowly: "To be honest with you, in fact, it was not a coincidence that you and I met. I found someone to tell my fortune, so I waited for you there."
"Find someone to tell the fortune?" Xiao Ye was confused: "Why do you do this?"
"I want to take first place and get a spot as a core disciple, and only the top three teams can get this spot." Leng Ya shook his head and said, "Now it seems that there is no hope."
"What are the rules of the assessment?" Xiao Ye asked with a frown.
"For every two people in a team, the farther they advance in the sea of swords, the more swordsmanship green lotus condensed, the better the term."
"The more kendo green lotus there are, the stronger the kendo boat formed, and the farther it will go in the sword sea."
"Isn't this a snowball? There is no need to compete at all. Whoever starts with more swordsmanship and green lotus will become stronger and stronger!" Xiao Ye wondered what the meaning of such a comparison was.
"It's not as you understand. In the sea of swords, the condensed kendo green lotus is related to one's own understanding of the kendo. The stronger the kendo understanding, the more the condensed kendo green lotus."
"That's it." Xiao Ye nodded. If that's true, then there may be hope.
Xiao Ye's kendo talent is indeed not strong, but his understanding of kendo definitely far exceeds his kendo talent.
Talent only reflects whether a person is suitable for practicing swordsmanship, and understanding is not the same thing.
During this year in Xingchen Sword Pavilion, Xiao Ye's understanding of the way of swordsmanship had reached a level that he didn't even know existed.
Unfortunately, this realization turned into an energy planet in the sea of consciousness, so others could not see Xiao Ye's swordsmanship from the outside.
At the front of the huge sword boat, a high platform suddenly rose, and several figures appeared above. The leader was a somewhat old man.
"Those are the deputy sect masters and elders of Xiaoyao Sword Sect." Leng Ya explained to Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye looked over attentively and saw the old woman he met before among the few people.
Jin Haitian glanced at the people below and nodded slightly. There were quite a few good ideas this time.
"Is everyone here?" Jin Hai, as the deputy sect leader, asked the elder next to him.
"We're all here, it's almost time."
Jin Hai waved his hand: "Now that everyone has arrived, I declare that the assessment has officially begun!"
