Chapter 64: I Killed the Soul in a Dream (Part 1)

Tang Hui rubbed his aching temples, and only pushed Tang Yan away because he wanted to be alone for some time and process the strange and immersive dream he had just had.

In the dream, there were no ten sects headed by Shengshui Palace, nor were there endless mountains of hundreds of thousands. All I could remember were the names of four famous sects, namely Shushan Sword Sect, Kunlun Mountain, and Longhu Mountain.

In addition to Wudang Mountain, the one that has a slightly vague impression is Penglai Island.

And in the dream, his name was not Tang Hui, but Song Zhiming.

Shushan Sword Sect is the dojo of Yuanshi Tianzun, Kunlun Mountain is the dojo of Queen Mother of the West of Yaochi, Longhu Mountain is the dojo of Zhang Daoling, the first generation of Tianshi, and Wudang Mountain is the dojo of Zhenwu Dangmo Great Emperor. As for Penglai Immortal Island, I don’t know the details.

.

Tang Hui remembers most clearly the moment he became a disciple of the Shushan Sword Sect.

…

Shushan Sword Sect is the largest cultivation sect in Dongsheng Shenzhou, because the first generation ancestor worshiped by Shushan Sword Sect is Yuanshi Tianzun, one of the Three Qing Dynasties.

Countless cultivators want to join the Shushan Sword Sect in the hope of getting the blessing of the first great master, Yuanshi Tianzun. Even if they succeed in their path and break the tribulation and fly to the heaven, with Yuanshi Tianzun as their backer, they can still be successful in the heaven.

Walk.

Every year, the Shushan Sword Sect opens its gates and selects the best disciples with spiritual roots and talents.

Therefore, every year, there are countless young men and women who come all the way to take the entrance test. In addition, there are also the guards who protect them along the way, the servants and maids who accompany them, and even people from major surrounding city-states.

There were a lot of people seeing him off, and for a while, the foot of the Shushan Sword Sect was crowded with people, making a lot of noise, and it seemed very lively.

When the "Bang Tian Bell" at the mountain gate rings ten times, the entrance test will officially begin.

The Shushan Sword Sect's entrance test has been extremely systematic after thousands or even tens of thousands of years of development. It is divided into six major items: bone age test, attribute test, meridians test, comprehension test, physical test, and perseverance test. Each test

Xiangdu was presided over by dedicated disciples and elders of the Shushan Sword Sect. It was divided into several test points and the progress was extremely fast.

In the past hour or so, more than thousands of young people who came to be apprentices have been ruthlessly eliminated.

Some people cheered because they passed the first level.

There are also people who cry loudly and seek death because they fail and are eliminated.

In the wide square, scenes of tragedies and comedies of life are staged.

"Tang Hui" came to the registration office at the edge of the square.

This is the [Bone Age Test] place that ranks first among the five major assessments. Only those who pass the bone age test and find that their true age is no more than fifteen years old can the applicant be eligible for the next test to avoid wasting time.

A white-haired elder wearing a silver robe sat quietly on an ancient rattan rocking chair, watching the work of the registration office.

Dozens of other third-generation disciples wearing red robes with black edges, each wearing a spiked ring on their finger, removed the blood from the applicant's body, and after a little identification, they reported their true age.

"Thirteen years old, qualified!"

"Nine years old, qualified!"

"Sixteen years old, unqualified!"

"Twenty-one years old...Uncle, you are so old, yet you still pretend to be young and take the test. You failed!"

"Fifteen and a half years old, unqualified!"

Each and every ninth generation disciple was like the harshest judge, loudly pronouncing the fate of each applicant.

After the guy who tried to bluff his way through was exposed, some people left in despair, some begged, and some cried bitterly, but they would not get any sympathy from the Shushan Sword Sect. If the trouble was too great, there would be people from the Shushan Sword Sect.

The disciples came over and threw the troublemaker directly down the mountain.

"Tang Hui" sighed endlessly.

He quickly reached the front of the line.

Behind the black wooden table, a ninth-generation disciple who was about twenty years old and had a handsome face glanced at "Tang Hui" and said expressionlessly: "Name?"

"Song Zhiming."

"Extend your arm, right arm, hurry up."

Tang Hui discovered that he had a completely different name, so let's call him Song Zhiming. As soon as he raised his right arm, he felt a slight numbness on his forearm, as if he had been stung by a bee.

So fast!

The strength of these ninth-generation disciples was truly unfathomable, and Song Zhiming didn't even see the opponent's movements clearly.

"Fourteen and a half years old, qualified!" Junyi's ninth-generation descendant looked at the color on the ring, made a judgment, and motioned for Song Zhiming to pass.

Song Zhiming breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally passed the first step.

With the envious eyes of his peers behind him, Song Zhiming quickly walked to the next wooden table, and received a wooden hand sign of his own from the hands of another ninth-generation disciple of the Shushan Sword Sect, with Song Zhiming's three words written on it.

A small compilation.

The hand card was of fine texture and was Song Zhiming's certificate to participate in the next four tests. On one side was a simple and elegant long sword, and on the other side was the number 8639 engraved on the side.

This means that Song Zhiming is the 8639th apprentice boy who passed the bone age test.

Every year, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of young people come to Shushan Sword Sect to take the entrance test, but in the end, only a thousand people can pass the six major tests and become registered disciples of Shushan Sword Sect. The competition is fierce, as you can imagine.

Know.

Moreover, it needs to be pointed out that after half a year of practice, one thousand registered disciples will take the second major test. Only those who pass the test can remove the two names of registered disciples and become true Shushan Sword Sect disciples. Those who fail the test will

, you will be expelled from the mountain gate.

It can be seen that in this world, the road to becoming a cultivator is full of thorns.

…

Ten minutes later, Song Zhiming came to the second test point with his cards in hand.

What is being done here is [Attribute Test].

What is naturally tested is the five elements spiritual roots.

The purpose of the attribute test is to classify and teach in the future, to facilitate the selection of exercises, secrets and various elixirs, and to help the sect formulate training plans for its disciples.

Of course, you can also test a person's spiritual roots.

The purer and more prosperous the attributes are, the broader the path of cultivation will be in the future, while the mixed and weak attributes mean that the path of cultivation is extremely difficult.

There were quite a few people present at the [Attribute Test] venue.

At the end of the site, there are more than a dozen bluestone-based high platforms, with a blue stone table two meters wide and twenty meters long placed on them. On the table, six oval-shaped stones more than one meter high are placed in sequence.

The dome-like stone is divided into test tools for gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The colors are different, and the surface is extremely smooth.

Behind the stone table, six sect elders wearing silver robes sat.

Most of these elders are octogenarians. It seems that a gust of wind can blow them down, but there is a faintly terrifying aura flowing around them, like ancient mountains pressing there, which makes people feel palpitated and makes everyone line up obediently to receive it.

Test without making any trouble.

And dozens of disciples of the ninth generation Shushan Sword Sect in red robes with black edges, and their auras are not weak, are busy making judgments, reading out and recording various test results.

The young people who passed the bone age test lined up in front of the stone table. They handed in their cards first. After the serial number was recorded, they walked along the stone table and pressed their hands on the six huge smooth stone eggs in turn. Once someone came,

Making the stone egg emit light proves that he has a certain attribute talent, and the strength of the light represents the purity of the attribute and the quality of the spiritual root.

"No. 765 Zhang Ping, Metallic Ding, etc..."

"No. 894 Wang Fei, Earth Attribute Grade B."

"No. 1467 Wu Zhongyu, fire attribute level C..."

"No. 2250 Cao Yi, water attribute level A!"

As beams of light shone from the stone eggs, the ninth-generation disciples who were judging the records on one side shouted loudly and pronounced the fate of the testers. Some people were still happy and some were worried.

Especially Cao Yi, No. 2250, a thirteen-year-old boy in colorful clothes. Hearing the result, he cheered and roared excitedly and hugged his parents. The result of Grade A water attribute is definitely considered a genius.

Zhang Ping, who was pronounced as a metal grade D, was fourteen and a half years old, ordinary-looking, wearing an old leather armor like a hunter, and his background was obviously not very good. He was accompanied by several hunters with tough expressions.

Hearing the verdict, he and several fellow hunters looked sad.

Such a talent can only be regarded as inferior.

If he does not perform well in the next few tests, this Zhang Ping will probably have no chance of entering the Shushan Sword Sect, and will never be able to pursue the path of cultivation.

The team kept moving forward, and soon it was Song Zhiming's turn.

After boarding the No. 1 test bench and handing the card to a ninth-generation disciple to record the number, Song Zhiming came to the bluestone table and stretched out his hands to press on the first metal stone egg. There was no reaction at all, not even a trace of it.

Not even a glimmer of light appeared.

This means that Song Zhiming does not have any metallic constitution.

Song Zhiming shook his head slightly, walked a few steps, came to the second stone egg representing the wood attribute, stretched out his hands and pressed it.

After more than ten seconds, there was no response.

Failed again.

Song Zhiming frowned, came to the third stone egg with water attribute, and pressed it with both palms.
