Ji Ruochen didn't wait long when he heard the Taoist priest calling his name, so he followed more than ten children to a side room.

The system of the Taoist sect's annual examination is divided into literary examination and martial arts examination. The literary examination is divided into four categories: scriptures, illustrations, preaching, and miscellaneous arts. The martial arts examination is much simpler, that is, it is a competition of skills in the field. The interpretation of the scriptures is designated by the chief examiner.

A passage of scripture, the meaning of which is explained by the disciples. The icons include Lingtu Bao, recorded talismans, drawings, incantations, etc. The sermon is given by the chief examiner and the disciples express their opinions. Miscellaneous techniques include the most extensive, and the Danding hexagram is like Feng Shui.

etc. are among them.

This time, Taoist Master Zhenguan came to test Ji Ruochen in person. He thought that Ji Ruochen was born in the Taichang Palace lineage of the Ziyang Master, so the questions he asked were somewhat related to the Taichang Palace. Ji Ruochen received the guidance of the Eight Meridian Masters, and he pursued the path.

He had one year less time than ordinary disciples, but his answers were quite satisfactory. Although he did not make Taoist Master Zhenguan feel astonished, he was far better than other disciples in terms of breadth and breadth.

In the blink of an eye, the four examinations were completed, and it was time for the final competition.

The examination room is located in the courtyard. The large courtyard is divided into twenty examination rooms by small yellow silk flags. It was not until Ji Ruochen came off the court that he saw that the opponent in front of him turned out to be a child who looked only ** years old. Morality

When disciples of the sect cultivate to the Spiritual Saint Realm, they can already begin to turn their true energy into external force. Therefore, these children may seem weak, but once they have mobilized their true energy, their strength is not small. When they reach perfection, their strength is not even that of an adult.

Where can a strong man go?

But the kid's moral character was not much higher than Ji Ruochen's, and he didn't have Ji Ruochen's actual combat experience. Therefore, after three moves and two moves, Ji Ruochen tricked him and pushed him out of the examination room.

His next opponent was a female disciple from Danyuan Palace. She looked to be twelve or three years old. Her Taoism was much higher. Her figure was as graceful as a fairy, her steps were like walking on waves, and the wooden sword in her hand was vibrating.

Without hesitation, he swung his sword and transformed into numerous shadows of swords, which looked very pleasing to the eye. Compared with her, Ji Ruochen was much inferior in terms of Taoism and body skills. After being circled around him several times by her, he felt a little confused and confused.

How to deal with the sword shadows coming from the sky.

The eight real people upstairs all opened their eyes and watched the competition in the field. The young disciples in the courtyard were fighting fiercely in the field and nervously preparing outside the field. They had no idea that the eight real people were upstairs.

Ji Ruochen was fighting, and his feet suddenly stopped. He made a secret in his hand and started chanting a curse. How could that girl give him such a chance? She walked around behind Ji Ruochen like a fleeting smoke, and the wooden sword struck Ji Ruochen as fast as lightning.

On the back, there was just a muffled sound from where the sword tip fell. It didn't seem like it was stabbing a flesh and blood body, but it was like it was stabbing into a rotten tree!

Ji Ruochen did not dodge, but instead straightened his waist and hit the wooden sword on his back. The wooden sword could not withstand such force and broke into two pieces with a snap. The girl exclaimed, never expecting such a result.

When she was at a loss, Ji Ruochen turned around and raised his hand to point at her, and then a strong wind hit her, carrying countless hot invisible fine sand!

She screamed and was knocked back a few steps by countless cinnabars, falling to the sidelines. She was already defeated this time.

Master Yuxuan's face on the main building became very ugly. He turned to Master Ziyun and said, "Congratulations to Master Ziyun for creating another technique! I just don't know what the name of this technique is?"

Ziyun stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "I came across this accidentally from the "Golden Record of the Emperor" and named it Dansha Jue. It is a game, so Master Yuxuan does not need to take it seriously."

Yu Xuan snorted and said: "I think this Dansha Jue's power is intermittent and its functions are partial and incomplete. I'm afraid it is specially used to restrain certain Taoist techniques, right?"

Master Ziyun chuckled, did not answer, and gave Master Yuxuan an acquiescence. Master Yuxuan's face was as cold as frost, and when he didn't know what to say, suddenly there was a flash of lightning in the courtyard, accompanied by the exclamations of countless children, and a

Light blue thunder and lightning fell from the sky.

"One Qi Thunder Talisman? How could he draw this Tianxin Zhengtal Talisman?" Master Ziyun looked surprised. He immediately woke up, turned his head and glared at Master Taiwei, and said: "You are really willing to give it up!"

At this time, there was a young disciple lying in front of Ji Ruochen, with a charred face. He was a disciple of Ziyun Master's Tianguan Palace. This disciple was a profound practitioner and was close to completing the cultivation of the Spiritual Saint Realm, but he never expected that Ji Ruochen would wave his hand and

He used a Thunder Talisman. How could he withstand the power of thunder from the Tianxin Zhengtal Talisman? He fell down with one blow.

Now that he saw Ji Ruochen defeat Master Ziyun's Tianguan Palace with the means he taught, Master Taiwei just sat upright, pretending not to hear what Master Ziyun was saying. He still had another worry in his heart. It seemed that the masters wanted to

In order to suppress other factions, Ji Ruochen has been taught many methods in private. At this time, he cannot be complacent. What if his disciples from Sikong Palace also fall into Ji Ruochen's hands like this?

At this time, a black mist suddenly rose in the courtyard, and not long after, another fire light rose. It turned out that Ji Ruochen defeated the two disciples from Taiji Palace and Yangming Palace with the remaining two Xuandu Soul Locking Talisman and Yangyan Talisman respectively.

.Until then, Master Taiwei stroked his beard and smiled, feeling a little pleased.

Although Ji Ruochen was at the bottom of his Taoist lineage, his magic tools and spells were really powerful, and he had the means to restrain the Taoist magic of the palaces. He was winning several battles in a row, and it was said that he was unstoppable. After a brief rest, what stood in front of him was the one from the North Pole Palace.

A disciple.

Taiyin of Beijigong studied the original Taoist scriptures carefully and focused on the root of the Tao. Therefore, the disciples under his palace were all proficient in all kinds of knowledge, unlike other palaces who had their own strengths. As a result, Ji Ruochen didn't know what to do.

Restraining the disciples of the North Pole Palace, I saw that this kid had a calm demeanor and a strong moral character, so it was obviously difficult to deal with him.

Ji Ruochen pondered for a moment and had some calculations in his mind. He looked at the sky and calculated the direction, and then gave a salute to the disciple, signaling that the competition could begin. After the Taoist Priest gave the order, Ji Ruochen sent the wooden sword to him.

Turning back on his back, he took out a Bagua plate made of black iron, stepped on the Gua position, and gradually started to walk around the disciple.

This competition was surprisingly long. Ji Ruochen only defended but did not attack. The fire light flowed on the Bagua disk. Wherever he stepped, which hexagram on the Bagua disk would light up accordingly. The North Pole Palace disciple only felt that Ji Ruochen was three feet away from him.

The ground seemed to have suddenly changed into a new world. It was windy, stagnant, and there were waves, and there were countless undercurrents. It could be said that it was constantly changing. As long as his wooden sword penetrated Ji Ruochen's body for three feet, he had to apply more force accordingly.

Keep the sword power unchanged. In this way, every time he thrusts with the sword, he will consume an extra three points of true energy. And Ji Ruochen used the Xuantie Bagua Disk to borrow the energy of heaven and earth, and even borrowed a point of his spiritual power.

, it would take much less effort. However, Ji Ruochen had made up his mind to only defend and not attack. No matter how the disciples of Beiji Palace tried to seduce him, he just hid behind the Bagua card and refused to come forward, obviously intending to fight to the end.

A moment passed in the blink of an eye, and both of them were covered in sweat, but the dull battle situation still did not change. The disciple of the Arctic Palace was becoming more and more vain and weak when he drew his sword. He had secretly cursed Ji Ruochen countless times for being despicable and shameless, but he actually

Use this rogue trick.

The face of Master Taiyin in the main building was already a bit ugly, and he finally couldn't help but said: "It turns out that this is how Master Shouzhen's innate hexagrams are used."

Gu Shouzhen is an easy-going person, but he is not as particular about manners as other real people. He smiled and said: "If Ruochen can find another way to use the innate hexagrams in this way, even I have not thought of it. This kind of talent is rare! Speaking of which, it is rare!

This black iron Bagua Pan is invulnerable to water and fire, and is square and square, so it’s actually good to use as a shield.”

At this time, the disciple of Beijigong in the courtyard tried his best to stab with his sword, but it fell to nothing. Finally, he could no longer hold on, and he leaned on the ground with his wooden sword, which kept him from falling. His robe was soaked with sweat. If he was thrown

A fish that landed on the beach usually panted sharply and could not even say a word to admit defeat. On the other hand, although Ji Ruochen was also exhausted, he could still fight if he stood still. After all, Ji Ruochen was much older, so he really had an advantage in terms of physical strength.

After another moment of rest, following Zhen Guan's command, more than a dozen Taoist priests removed all the small yellow silk flags that separated the examination room. Ji Ruochen walked slowly into the arena, and standing opposite him was Ming Xin.

This battle is already the last battle of this year's annual test. Both sides have won every battle, so the winner of this battle is the one with the best skill in the Spiritual Saint Realm. Although he rested for a moment and took the pill to replenish his energy, Ji Ruochen still

His face still looked a little pale. And Mingxin opposite him didn't look much better.

As the two of them saluted each other, Mingxin suddenly gritted her teeth and whispered: "Ji Ruochen, you shameless villain, you actually framed me for stealing your things! It's really bad for me! Just wait, wait until I beat you, three of you

I will naturally come to you to settle accounts in a few months!"

Ji Ruochen was startled and said in a low voice: "It's true that I lost something, but I didn't say that you took it. How can I frame you? You broke the rules and you deserve to be punished. Why don't you refuse to accept it?"

Where? Anyway, this is not the first time you want to cause trouble for me. Come when you want, don't say it so sanctimoniously. Next time you mess with me, it won't be as simple as locking you up for a few months."

Ming Xin still has the nature of a child and has been wronged. When he was provoked by Ji Ruochen, his heart immediately became angry. He raised his sword and stabbed. This sword came out of the blue. Although it was shot with anger, it was no different from a sneak attack. Ji Ruochen...

When he was startled, the tip of the wooden sword was already in front of his eyes! He rolled sideways and barely managed to avoid the sword.

Zhen Guan hurriedly stopped the competition, scolded Ming Xin for a few words, and then allowed both sides to start again.

At this time, seeing his disciples behaving inappropriately, Master Jing Xiao's face became a little gloomy.

Mingxin moved the sword like the wind, and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder between the thrusts. The Five Elements Sword Techniques were skillful and unpredictable. He was determined to win this sword competition and get the first place in the annual examination, so that he could change his half-year experience of facing the wall into

In March, I tried my best as soon as I started.

At this time, on the second floor, Junior Brother Zhen Guan saw that no one was paying attention. He opened a question paper and looked at it, then quietly handed it to Zheng Guan. Zheng Guan took it and looked at it. It turned out to be Ming Xin's four essay question papers.

He opened Ji Ruochen's question paper again, compared the two, and immediately changed a few words on the Mingxin paper, lowering the rating by one level. In this way, even if Ji Ruochen lost to Mingxin in the competition

, you can still win the first place in the annual examination.

Ji Ruochen and Mingxin concentrated on fighting, but of course they didn't know that there was such a mystery in it. Mingxin was even more determined to win, and light began to appear on the wooden sword, and the sound of wind and thunder gradually sounded. Ji Ruochen's heart froze, knowing that Mingxin had gradually used

Learned the Great Five Elements Sword Art. The Great Five Elements Sword Art is powerful, easy to learn but difficult to use. Once you lose control, you will often use all your true energy in one sword. Ji Ruochen has suffered greatly from this sword art several times.

If he hadn't had the Immortal Dissociation Technique in his body, he would have been seriously injured at the hands of Zhang Yinyin. But in this competition arena, in full view of everyone, how could he dare to use the Immortal Dissociation Technique?

At this moment, Ji Ruochen concentrated on fighting, and the wooden sword in his hand turned around, stabbing in the east and blocking in the west. The sword's intention was crude. Although the true essence was weak, it was brilliant but had the power of heaven and earth. It was the Lique Sword taught by Master Yuxu.

Now that he had used the Lie Que Sword, Ji Ruochen was able to reverse the unfavorable situation after a few strikes.

Master Jingxiao's face became even more ugly. Mingxin behaved inappropriately and lacked etiquette, which showed that he was a disciple of Taixuan Peak who was really uneducated. And Ji Ruochen used the Lieque Sword taught by Master Yuxu to break his Great Five Elements Sword.

The secret is that no matter what the result of this competition is, he will not lose face.

Master Jingxiao was so profound in martial arts that he only glanced at the scene and said: "The styles of the Lieque Sword used by Ruochen are taken out of context and go against the original sword intention of the Lieque Sword. I'm afraid they were created temporarily by Master Yuxu."

Bar?"

Master Yuxu smiled and said: "What Master Jingxiao said is absolutely true. The Great Five Elements Sword Art of Taixuan Peak is so profound and profound that it is rare in the world. Hasn't Ruochen been injured by the Great Five Elements Sword Art several times? I taught him these skills.

The sword is just for him to protect himself."

Master Jingxiao snorted and said nothing. How could he not know that the Great Five Elements Sword Technique should not be used lightly when the skills are not enough, and he usually uses it to discipline his disciples. But even Zhang Yinyin cannot control the Great Five Elements Sword Qi, Mingxin Dao Xing

Another level missing, and even more unable to use the Great Five Elements Sword Technique.

Now that Mingxin has used Yimu Sword Qi, Master Jingxiao cannot escape the charge of failing to discipline his disciples.

The stronger Ming Xin's sword energy was in the scene, the uglier Master Jing Xiao's face became.

At this time, Mingxin gritted her teeth, and the sword came out like the wind. The wooden sword was covered with a green light. Ji Ruochen concentrated on fighting and did not dare to be negligent. He had learned the Great Five Elements Sword Art many times and knew that it was necessary to use this kind of sword energy.

The limit of Mingxin, if you continue to push the sword energy, you will probably lose control.

Although Ji Ruochen was using the Lieque Sword, which was specially designed to restrain the Great Five Elements Sword Technique, the skills of the two sides were far different. Every time the wooden swords came into contact, his whole body would tremble and he would stagger back. Ming Xin's fighting skills were strong, his eyes were red, and he

He didn't show mercy when he gained the upper hand. He kept swinging his sword in pursuit while shouting, completely forgetting to control the Five Elements Sword Qi. In the blink of an eye, Ji Ruochen was hit by several swords. Although they were all blocked, the lingering power of the Mingxin Sword also made him feel pain.

.

At this time, Yuxu said calmly: "The disciples of Master Jingxiao are really murderous."

Jing Xiao just snorted.

In the middle of the battle, Mingxin suddenly handed his sword to his left hand and pinched a spell with his right hand. The fingertips of his two fingers flicked open and several drops of blood poured out. He took out a piece of dark yellow talisman paper from his arms and dyed it with it.
To be continued...
