Chapter 797: Announcing the Rules
"What's going on?"
"What is that?"
Everyone in the square was also alarmed by the terrifying pressure emanating from the Sword Sect's Hall.
They looked up and saw two men and women in white standing on the roof of the Sword Sect's main hall.
"Greetings, Master."
The disciples in the square reacted quickly, kneeling on the ground and saluting with a very respectful attitude.
"Um."
One of the men in white nodded slightly, then glanced at the entire audience and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, welcome to the Sword Sect."
"The Sword Sect is one of the strongest forces in Jianzhou. I hope that everyone will join the Sword Sect, grow up, and bring glory to Jianzhou."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, I will announce the rules first..."
After the man finished speaking, the woman next to him took over and continued, "The Sword Sect holds a selection every year, and only those who pass the assessment can stay in the Sword Sect."
"Moreover, the top ten in each session will receive huge rewards."
Hearing the woman's words, the crowd in the square became excited.
"The Sword Sect's assessment is divided into three rounds."
"The first round tests swordsmanship; the second round tests practical experience; the third round tests mental fortitude."
"After three rounds of competition, the winner will pass the preliminary assessment and can become a disciple of the Sword Sect."
"The first round of competition starts from now ..."
Jiang Chen frowned when he heard the woman's explanation.
According to them, the top ten will be decided after the first round of competition.
Moreover, the rewards for the top ten will definitely be generous.
"Ye Qingrou, I remember you are at the seventh level of Zhenwu. Will you take part in the assessment?" Jiang Chen asked.
"I have already signed up." Ye Qingrou smiled easily.
"Oh? Are you sure?" Jiang Chen looked at her in surprise.
"certainly."
Ye Qingrou nodded and said with a smile: "I have disliked those guys for a long time."
"In that case, I support you." Jiang Chen patted her shoulder and said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingrou's pretty face flushed, her beautiful eyes were shy and timid, and her delicate appearance made her even more lovable.
"Okay, now let's start the draw."
"Those who draw the same number, please go to the left."
The woman's voice echoed throughout the square.
Swish~Swish~
In an instant, people in the square ran to the left.
In the corner of the square, Jiang Chen held Ye Qingrou's little hand, followed the team, and walked slowly over.
He did not use his Qi to detect the number plate.
Because, with his current strength, he doesn't need to use true energy at all.
"You're lucky."
While walking on the road, Ye Qingrou stole a glance at Jiang Chen and said with a smile, "I drew number 2."
"Number 2?"
Jiang Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a cunning arc and a strange smile.
"Hey, he actually drew number 3?"
"Could it be that he is a descendant of some hidden family?"
“Not really.”
People around were whispering.
"I wonder what number I will draw?"
Jiang Chen glanced around the square, looking for his number plate.
"Haha, isn't this the young master of the Li family?"
At this time, a young man suddenly came over and asked sarcastically: "Why, you don't dare to draw lots?"
"Who do you think you are?" Jiang Chen glanced at him and said coldly.
"you……"
The young man flew into a rage, pointing at Jiang Chen and wanting to curse him.
Suddenly, he noticed Ye Qingrou beside Jiang Chen. His eyes flashed with lustful look and he grinned, "So he hooked up with this chick!"
"Hmph, don't forget the agreement between us. If you dare to ruin my good deeds, I promise to make you pay for it."
The young man said this viciously and turned away.
Watching the young man's receding back, Ye Qingrou couldn't help but shiver and hugged Jiang Chen tightly in fear.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Jiang Chen patted her shoulders gently.
"Yeah." Ye Qingrou nodded, but was still very worried.
After a while, Jiang Chen finally found his number plate on a pillar in the square. It was number 7.
This number just happened to be in line with his expectations.
"Look, Li Mingxuan appears!"
At this time, there was a commotion in the square .
Jiang Chen and Ye Qingrou looked towards the central area of the square, and saw a handsome and elegant young man slowly walking up to the platform on the other side of the platform.
"This guy is called Li Mingxuan, and he has reached the eighth level of Zhenwu. He is said to be extremely talented. In the Sword Sect, apart from the Sect Master, his strength is second only to the Sword Master!"
Ye Qingrou whispered to Jiang Chen.
Li Mingxuan walked up to the platform , looked around the audience, and said loudly: "Today, the Sword Sect is holding an assessment for new disciples. Anyone with the fifth level of True Martial Arts can participate."
Crash~
As soon as he finished speaking, heated discussions broke out in the square.
Obviously, most people have not reached the fifth level of Zhenwu.
After all, in the entire Dongli Taoist Academy, those who can reach the fifth level of Zhenwu are all outstanding.
"Let's start drawing lots now!"
As soon as Li Mingxuan finished speaking, a deacon rushed over.
People in the square quickly lined up, waiting for the deacon to draw numbers.
Jiang Chen and Ye Qingrou were at the end.
He took out the number plate and saw that it was indeed number 7.
"As expected of you, you are the Sword Master's disciple. This kind of luck is too good."
Jiang Chen thought secretly.
The people in front of him shook their heads helplessly.
"You are lucky." At this time, Ye Qingrou came over and looked at the number plate in Jiang Chen's hand with envy.
"hey-hey."
Jiang Chen smiled without saying anything and kept the number.
"The competition begins now, the first round, the elimination round!"
As Li Mingxuan finished speaking, the disciples in the square stepped onto the stage one after another.
"Let's go watch the battle." Ye Qingrou said excitedly.
"good."
On the square, stone slabs stand upright.
The so-called spectators are those who sit in the seats under the stage.
Jiang Chen and Ye Qingrou walked over and sat down at a table closest to the arena.
"Master, you are so strong, why don't you go for the competition?"
Ye Qingrou asked curiously. Although Jiang Chen's cultivation was not high, she felt the danger.
"I'm not very interested in comparison tests." Jiang Chen shook his head.
Ye Qingrou blinked her big eyes and looked at Jiang Chen seriously, not knowing what she was thinking.
On the arena, the disciples of the Sword Sect have already started fighting.
"Brother Jiang, who do you think will win this round?"
Sitting behind Jiang Chen, a man in a black robe asked curiously.
"It's hard to say. The disciples of the Sword Sect are all very strong." Jiang Chen said calmly.
"So who do you think will win?"
Jiang Chen was silent for a while, then uttered two words: "Li Mingxuan."
The man in black was startled and asked in confusion: "Why do you say that?"
"intuition."
Jiang Chen said calmly.
"Well, I hope he wins."
The man in black shrugged and closed his eyes.
Jiang Chen moved his eyes and looked at the two people on the stage.
The disciples of the Sword Sect are very powerful, especially Li Mingxuan.
He wielded the sword so tightly that it looked like a cloud of swords.
Even if someone rushes over, they will be stopped.
