Soon, many sword test disciples were eliminated, and candidates who passed the preliminary test were gradually revealed.

There are a total of five people from the Nangong family, six from the Ou family, and four from the Li family. The Li family is already doing well this year, with one single seedling passing the preliminary test.

Li Jin was extremely happy when a member of the Li family passed the preliminary sword test, but Li Chengzai was not happy. Li Jin was happy because in his third year in charge of the Li family, a disciple of the Li family finally passed the sword test.

There was no one in the first two years, which was pretty good. However, Li Jin really had nothing to be happy about, because the disciple who passed the preliminary examination was not his, but a disciple of Li Chengzai. But on the Li family's facade,

It already looks much better.

Li Chengzai was unhappy, but he had his reasons. Because originally, the number of disciples entering the house was limited, with only two per family. Now, just after the first test, the Li family has only one seedling left, which means that another member of their Li family

The quota has been taken away by three other companies.

Just after the first test, the Li family has already lost a place. If his disciple fails to pass the retest, it will mean that the Li family will be wiped out again this year. Since the Star Sword Sect was co-founded by four ancestors,

There has been no disciple breaking into the family for three consecutive years. Such a thing has never happened before. If this were really the case, the Li family would be completely embarrassed.

After the preliminary test, students who pass the preliminary test are usually given some preparation time, and then the retest begins the next day.

The retest is not a competition between the disciples who are trying the sword. Instead, the elders appoint formal disciples to test the disciples who are trying the sword. It is usually limited to fifty or one hundred moves. If the talent is higher, it is also possible.

Ask him to take one hundred and fifty moves. The outcome of the retest is no longer important.

The most important thing is to see the performance of the sword test disciple to see if he has any training value. Because no matter how powerful the sword test disciple is, it is absolutely impossible to defeat the disciple appointed by the elder. If he can already defeat the candidate designated by the elder, then

He doesn't need to go to the sword trial competition anymore, he can go out and walk around the world directly.

The result of the re-examination, whether you win or lose, or how many moves you fail, does not matter. In short, you must have highlights and let the elders think that you are a talent, and then they will select you and train you. After the re-examination, usually

The results will not be announced immediately, but the elders will discuss with each other to see who is suitable and who is not, and then decide together on the candidate.

However, there is a bottom line for the re-examination. If a disciple in the re-examination fails to pass even the fifty-move test of the most recent book, then he will directly lose the qualification to become a disciple, which means he has failed in the true sense.

The only disciple of Li Chengzai who passed the sword test meeting was Li Yishuang. What made Li Chengzai happy was that Li Yishuang performed well in the sword test meeting and was unanimously recognized by everyone. They all thought that he had a good chance of passing the retest.

Yes, it's better than nothing.

Li Chengzai could only comfort himself this way.

At night, everyone went back to their own homes. The disciples who passed the reexamination that night naturally had something on their minds, and most of them couldn't sleep.

When Li Chengzai was young, he also participated in the sword trial competition, so he especially understood Li Yishuang's mood now. The Li family has not selected a new disciple for two years, and the Li family has high expectations for him.

Xiling Mountain, Li Chengzai's residence.

It was almost midnight, but Li Chengzai had not yet fallen asleep. He was still giving instructions to his proud disciple Li Yishuang.

"It feels good, remember! In the retest tomorrow, don't worry about who your opponent is, or the outcome. Just try your best and perform well. With your talent, the elders will see it as long as they are not blind.

"Li Chengzai's tone was obviously very critical of the elders. He seemed to be saying that if the elders don't choose my disciple, then they are blind.

"Yes, Master. I remember." Li Yishuang nodded and replied.

"How are you doing with the swordsmanship I taught you recently?" Li Chengzai asked again.

"I have already mastered it. Otherwise, master can give me some guidance." Li Yishuang replied.

"No, it's too late today. You have to compete tomorrow. That's it. You go back first." Li Chengzai replied.

"Yes, Master." Li Yishuang said and planned to leave.

"Oh! You will retest tomorrow. The set of swordsmanship I taught you must not be used unless absolutely necessary." Li Chengzai warned.

"Why?" Li Yishuang asked puzzled.

"Don't ask any more questions, just do as I say." Li Chengzai said sternly.

"Okay, my disciple has resigned." Li Yishuang said, turned and left.

After Li Yishuang left, Li Chengzai also returned to the room and was about to fall asleep. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something again, then he picked up his sword and walked out of the room in three steps and two steps.

Instead of taking the right path, he jumped out of the wall with his sword and headed straight into the mountains and woods.

The grass and trees in Xiling Mountain are lush, and it is still night and dark at this time, so I can't see anything. I don't know where he is going or what he is going to do.

Li Chengzai came to an open space and suddenly stopped.

He didn't speak, he was observing, as if he was looking for something.

There was a sound of the sword, and Li Chengzai's sword was unsheathed and stabbed straight into the back of a big tree. His swordsmanship was extremely fast and his sword moves were fierce. Even compared with the top ten swordsmen, he was not inferior in the slightest.

The sound of the sword passed by, a black shadow flashed, and a masked man appeared from behind the big tree, holding a fine steel rod in his hand.

Li Chengzai was unyielding and pursued him with his sword moves. The man's martial arts skills were as strong as Li Chengzai's. He swung the iron rod and made several "clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, and fire. All of Li Chengzai's sword moves were blocked."

"Eh"

There was a sound, and the sword moves were thrust out one after another. The black shadow's body movements were weird, which Li Chengzai had never seen before. However, Li Chengzai was brave and was not afraid at all. His sword moves were only offensive but not defensive, and forced the man in black to

You have to retreat continuously.

Seeing that Li Chengzai's sword moves were powerful, the shadow man tried to resist him head-on, fearing that he would be defeated, so he suddenly bent his body, flashed a strange arc, and then came behind Li Chengzai, and then struck back with his long stick. The offensive was also very powerful.

.

Li Chengzai was slightly shocked because he had never seen this method before, or even heard of it.

Li Chengzai retreated with his sword moves, switched from offense to defense, and calmly neutralized the offensive of the man in black.

Suddenly, the two of them stopped at the same time, as if they had reached some kind of agreement.

"Master Li's swordsmanship is really superb, I admire you." The visitor spoke first.
