Chapter 123 Disciple Selection, Lu Yebai
The place where Gui Yuanzong recruited disciples was a square. At the moment, the square was crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, which showed Gui Yuanzong's influence in the surrounding area.
Lu Yebai only thought that Ye Cheng was a traveler who traveled around, and he happened to travel so far, and he yearned for Gui Yuanzong, so he chose to participate in the entry selection.
In fact, many people from such a large sect as Guiyuanzong traveled thousands of miles and came here just because of their reputation, just to enter Guiyuanzong and learn the best exercises and best martial arts.
Ye Cheng also learned a lot about Lu Yebai from conversations and observations along the way.
Lu Yebai was dressed in embroidered clothes and a white jade ring around his waist. He was majestic and had an extraordinary conversation. He looked very noble, and he should have a rich and prominent family background.
But why he only brought a servant who looked like a servant, Ye Cheng didn't know.
Judging from the current contact, Ye Cheng still has a good impression of Lu Yebai.
Unlike the playboys, Lu Yebai is obviously well-bred, humble and polite, and does not despise others because of his status.
After finally pushing through the crowd, Ye Cheng and Lu Yebai came to the registration desk.
In front of the registration desk, many people were filling out the registration forms, all of them were tall and strong, and they looked like martial arts practitioners.
Ye Cheng received a registration form, on which he needed to fill in some personal information.
After filling out the registration form and handing it in, the Gui Yuanzong disciple who was in charge of the registration asked Ye Cheng and Lu Yebai to wait in the square, and after a while someone came to announce the later arrangements.
It's just that Ye Cheng clearly saw that the expression on the face of the disciple at the registration office changed after he took Lu Yebai's registration paper and looked at it, and he became more polite to Ye Cheng and Lu Yebai.
Ye Cheng immediately understood that Lu Yebai's identity was more noble than he thought, and he had considerable influence even in Guiyuanzong.
Ye Cheng and Lu Yebai didn't have to wait long before a disciple of Guiyuanzong in Qingshan came to announce the content of the upcoming assessment.
The disciple of Qingshan Guiyuanzong said: "All those who have registered will follow me, and I will take you to participate in the entrance examination."
Immediately, the bustling crowd followed behind the disciples in green shirts and walked towards the back of the registration square.
Guiyuanzong is geographically located on a towering mountain peak, and the square is under the Guiyuanzong mountain peak.
The Qingshan disciple quickly led the crowd to the foot of Guiyuan Mountain.
Guiyuan Mountain is majestic and towering, Ye Cheng looked up, but it was difficult to get a full view of the mountain, the top of the mountain was covered by clouds.
Everyone came to a cliff, and there were many thick iron cables hanging down from the cliff.
Ye Cheng looked at these thick iron chains, and a bad thought suddenly came to his mind.
Sure enough, the green-clothed disciple said, "The first test is to climb up this cliff along these iron cables."
Ye Cheng's heart was beating wildly, 'Climbing here?Do not make jokes. '
This cliff is extremely steep, and many places are close to [-] degrees vertical to the ground, and I don't know how high this cliff is. If you want to climb directly from here, I am afraid that many people will be brushed directly at this level down.
Ye Cheng could also understand that Gui Yuanzong recruited a limited number of disciples every year, but there were so many applicants, so this method was used to screen out capable disciples and keep those who tried to fish in troubled waters out.
Climbing the cliff not only tested the strength of the registered disciples, but also tested their willpower and endurance.
Ye Cheng looked at the thin-skinned and tender Lu Yebai, and began to worry about whether Lu Yebai could persevere.
With the announcement of the green shirt disciple, the entrance examination officially began.
Ye Cheng snatched a route that didn't look that steep. Lu Yebai was next to Ye Cheng and also grabbed a chain.
Many disciples of the Guiyuan Sect in green shirts also walked out to take care of the safety of the examiners when they climbed.
If there is an emergency or someone is exhausted, they can seek help from these green shirt disciples, and they will automatically withdraw from this round of disciple selection.
Every time Ye Cheng hesitated, he looked for the foothold and climbed up along the iron rope.
The cold iron chain irritated Ye Cheng's skin, but he didn't feel it at all, he just climbed up step by step.
Ye Cheng didn't rush extremely fast at the beginning, but fought steadily, trying his best to preserve his energy.
Lu Yebai kept the same speed as Ye Cheng beside Ye Cheng, and for a while the two of them seemed to be slightly behind the others.
Lu Yebai's servant was also climbing on an iron rope at this time, he turned his head and asked Lu Yebai: "My lord, how long do we have to climb? I can't hold on any longer."
Lu Yebai replied helplessly: "This is less than half. I told you to wait for me below. You must come up with me."
The servant said stubbornly: "That's not good, if the young master is in any danger, I will protect the young master immediately."
Ye Cheng smiled slightly, this young man is obviously not as strong as Lu Yebai, and it's uncertain who will protect who when the time comes.
This boy was originally an orphan. When he was seven or eight years old, he was so hungry that he happened to see Lu Yebai passing by, so he wanted to steal Lu Yebai's purse.
Lu Yebai was also very small at that time, he was surrounded by guards to protect him, so he naturally caught the boy.
But instead of asking the guards to beat up the boy, Lu Yebai bought two big buns for the boy to eat.
It was seven or eight years later that the two met each other again.
At that time, the boy was working as a waiter in a restaurant, and once Lu Yebai happened to come to eat in the restaurant.
The boy immediately recognized Lu Yebai, the well-known son of the Lu family in the city, as the boy who had invited him to eat steamed stuffed buns before.
By chance, he discovered that someone was trying to frame Lu Yebai, and after struggling, he decided to help Lu Yebai.
Later, with his help, Lu Yebai escaped unharmed, and from then on he brought the young servant by his side as his follower.
In addition, Lu Yebai has a pure heart and has always taken good care of the boy. He also hired a teacher to teach the boy how to read and write.
That's why the boy is also loyal to Lu Yebai.
……
Ye Cheng felt that his hands were about to peel off from friction, but the assessment clearly stipulated that other foreign objects should not be used to help climb the mountain, and even gloves were not allowed. Once found, the assessment would be declared a failure.
No way, Ye Cheng gave up the idea of taking out the animal skin gloves from the space backpack.
The little golden eagle circled around Ye Cheng, trying to catch Ye Cheng's lapel and fly up.
Ye Cheng quickly stopped the little golden eagle.
Ye Cheng also realized at this time that one of the purposes of the peak assessment is to test the disciple's heart and perseverance, so Ye Cheng felt that he had better not play tricks.
Pang Da also followed Ye Cheng into the secret world, but Ye Cheng only ordered Pang Da to wait at the foot of the mountain.
Originally, Ye Cheng thought that the assessment would be about the content of the battle, so he brought two pets in to strengthen his combat power, but now it seems that the two pets may not be able to play any role.
At this time, a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks saw the little golden eagle flying beside Ye Cheng, and hurriedly reported it to the disciple of Gui Yuanzong next to him.
"I reported someone cheating. He used a bird to fly himself up!"
Ye Cheng was frightened and angry, seeing a Gui Yuanzong disciple looking at him from the iron chain, Ye Cheng hurriedly said:
"I know some methods of controlling beasts, but I have never let it help me climb the mountain before."
Fortunately, the green shirt disciple had been paying attention to Ye Cheng before, knowing that Ye Cheng hadn't lied, and he didn't make things difficult for Ye Cheng.
Seeing that nothing happened, Ye Cheng calmed down, but he just remembered the appearance of the man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks in his mind.
'If I find a chance, I must teach you a lesson. '
This kind of person is nothing more than wanting to eliminate a competitor in advance. After all, Guiyuanzong has a limited number of disciples to recruit, and if there is one less person to compete, he will have a better chance of entering Guiyuanzong.
Ye Cheng understands, but it doesn't mean he can forgive. Lu Yebai told Ye Cheng before that there will be a part of the competition between students in the subsequent selection and assessment.
Right now it is more important to continue climbing the mountain. Ye Cheng looked for the next foothold and continued to climb.
After a while, Ye Cheng finally saw the end of the cliff above.
Ye Cheng still retained a lot of physical strength, and he climbed two points faster with his arms.
Lu Yebai was still unhurried, obviously waiting for the boy who was struggling to climb beside him.
"Ah Quan, hurry up, we will be there soon."
Ah Quan was out of breath at this moment, his cheeks were flushed.
Finally, Ah Quan tried his best to climb to the finish line before dark.
If it is dark, even if you climb up, you will lose the qualification to continue the assessment, but you can still become a disciple of Guiyuanzong's handyman, and there is still a chance to become a formal disciple in the future.
After the first assessment was over, the second entry assessment was scheduled to start the next morning because it was not too early.
This is also a period of rest and recovery for everyone.
Now Ye Cheng knew why the time limit for this job transfer task was 72 hours. Maybe Ye Cheng really had to wait three days to complete the assessment task.
After the summit assessment was over, Ye Cheng went down the mountain and brought Pang Da up.
Although Gui Yuanzong's disciples were asked to take care of him before, Ye Cheng felt more at ease with Panda by his side.
And the subsequent duel assessment may also use Pang Da and the little golden eagle.
After all, spiritual pets are also part of personal strength.
In the evening, Ye Cheng and other beginner disciples who had completed the first climbing assessment were all assigned to accommodation.
Ye Cheng didn't know how many people came to participate in the entrance examination of Gui Yuanzong today, but as Lu Yebai said, in the past, tens of thousands of people participated in each disciple recruitment meeting of Gui Yuanzong.
And there are only about 1000 people who can pass the first round of assessment, which is almost a ratio of [-] to [-].
If they stop at the first round of assessment, they can only be a handyman disciple in Guiyuanzong, waiting for the opportunity to be promoted to an outer disciple in the future.
And tomorrow Ye Cheng and others who pass the first round of assessment will enter the second round of free battle assessment. In the free battle assessment, [-] disciples will pass the assessment and obtain the qualifications of outer sect disciples.
On the third day, the final round of assessment will be held, a battle assessment of three hundred newly promoted outer disciples.
The top [-] in the duel assessment will be directly promoted to Guiyuanzong inner disciples.
Inner sect disciples have unlimited benefits, not only can they get the best martial arts and martial arts skills, but also have the most medicinal herbs and spiritual grass resources, and even have high-level personal guidance and experience.
Moreover, in a series of assessments, if a disciple performed outstandingly and was favored by a certain elder, he might be directly accepted as a personal disciple by that elder.
Personal disciples are personally taught by the elders, and at the same time they are likely to be passed on from the elders' exercises.
And the biggest purpose of Ye Sheng's trip is to obtain a book of advanced exercises.
This is a world of aura, almost all the people practice martial arts, respecting martial arts.
If Ye Sheng wanted to gain more attention, he still had to start with his own strength.
After a day of observation, Ye Cheng discovered that there are many characters with extraordinary skills among the disciples promoted in the first round.
Needless to say, Lu Yebai, Ye Cheng has never been able to see his depth, he only knows that he did not try his best in the first round of assessment.
There are many more powerful people who climbed the cliff in half the time as early as Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng thought he didn't have that kind of speed.
Of course, Ye Cheng also retained his strength, and rock climbing was not his specialty.
……
The time turned to the second day, and the second round of free battle assessment was about to start.
Gui Yuanzong occupied an entire mountain range, and the sphere of influence was much larger than Ye Cheng imagined.
At this moment, more than 1000 people who successfully passed the first round of assessment yesterday were standing in front of a valley.
A green shirt disciple is announcing the assessment rules.
"The free battle assessment rules are as follows: There are eighteen forks in this valley that can lead to the end point. At the same time, tokens like 300 yuan are hidden in various places in the valley."
Qingshan disciple raised his hand, showing a blue token in his hand, with the word 'Guiyuan' on it.
Disciple Qingshan continued: "All the qualified disciples need to find such a token, and carry it to the finish line before sunset."
"Those who did not find the token failed to advance, and those who did not arrive before sunset failed to advance."
"The weapons you use in the assessment are all wooden and will be provided by us. Be careful not to kill other contestants during the assessment."
"Competitors can bring spiritual pets into the room, but they are also not allowed to harm other people's lives."
"The above are all the rules. Now I announce that the free battle assessment has officially begun."
Ye Cheng looked at the sun, it was only eight or nine o'clock in the morning, so it would definitely be no problem to cross the valley and reach the finish line before sunset.
The difficulty lies in finding the token.
Fortunately, Ye Cheng brought two pets in, they can help Ye Cheng search together.
With disciple Qingshan's order, all the contestants set off one after another, pouring into the valley like a file.
At this moment, the elders outside the valley observed what was happening in the valley through the light curtains.
Ye Cheng also acted quickly, and did not choose to go with Lu Yebai and Ah Quan.
After all, the chances of finding tokens are much greater if everyone spreads out.
After entering the valley, the vision inside suddenly widened.
Ye Cheng called the little golden eagle flying in the sky, touched the little golden eagle's head, and let the little golden eagle fly out to look for the blue token.
The eagle's eyes are sharp, and it is natural to have twice the result with half the effort with the assistance of the little golden eagle.
The little golden eagle also saw the token in the hands of the Qingshan disciple just now, and immediately flapped its wings and fled away.
Ye Sheng continued to lead Pang Da forward, while carefully checking the surrounding environment, not letting go of any place where a token might be hidden.
