"How about it, isn't it impressive?" Lin Aoxue said with a proud smile.
"What are you so proud of? Don't you know how to be low-key? You should know that a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind." Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes at Lin Aoxue.
But Lin Aoxue said so.
"What are you afraid of? As long as you are strong enough, isn't it okay? I'm about to enter the Linghai realm. In a few years, entering the Dao Palace will not be a problem. But you, why do I feel that the power fluctuations in your body are still in the early Lingxi realm?" Lin Aoxue was a little puzzled.
She felt that Ye Liuyun's realm seemed to have not improved at all in the past three years.
"Don't worry about me. My training method is different from yours. Anyway, passing the test will not be a problem." Ye Liuyun said.
Seeing Ye Liuyun so confident, Lin Aoxue wanted to see what Ye Liuyun had practiced in the past three years.
Lin Aoxue’s assessment is over, and next is the turn of other disciples.
The deacon on the stage read out another disciple's name.
But this disciple seemed very nervous. After he came on stage, he looked at the other party tremblingly, and finally hit the deacon with all his strength.
But this blow made the deacon shake his head in dissatisfaction.
"You are unqualified. Go back and pack your bags and leave Yunxia Sect." The sect steward shook his head with a cold face.
"This? Deacon, please give me another chance. I was too nervous just now and didn't use my full strength." The disciple requested hurriedly.
But the sect's deacon was not an idiot. The attack just now explained a lot of things. It had nothing to do with whether he used his full strength or not. It was simply because his strength was not up to standard.
"Take him away." Zongmen simply ordered the law enforcement disciple expressionlessly.
When the law enforcement disciple heard this, he immediately dragged the man away.
These disciples have worked so hard to join the Immortal Sect, they certainly don’t want to leave just like that, but no means no, rules are rules.
"Oh!" Ye Liuyun looked at the disciple who was dragged away with a little sympathy.
There are hundreds of disciples, and it would be good if half of them can stay.
Some were eliminated, some passed, and some were lucky enough to be directly accepted into the inner sect. When the disciples attacked him, the deacon would also take the opportunity to check the condition of the spiritual roots in the other party.
Spiritual roots usually awaken when one reaches the Lingxi Realm. If the spiritual roots are awakened, one will generally reach the Lingxi Realm. Without spiritual roots, one will definitely not reach the Lingxi Realm.
Chapter 30 Shocking
You can have many spiritual roots, and your aptitude can be poor or poor, but you cannot have none.
Time passed little by little, and soon nearly one-third of the hundreds of people who had taken the entrance examination were forced to leave Yunxia Sect because they failed to reach the Lingxi realm.
Among them, there are a few people who were directly accepted into the inner sect because of the high quality of their spiritual roots, such as Xiao Hansheng. This guy actually has dual spiritual roots of ice and fire. Although he is not a single spiritual root, having dual spiritual roots is already considered a good aptitude.
"Are you kidding me? Why isn't it my turn yet?" Ye Liuyun was a little impatient.
Because I waited for a long time but she didn't come.
She was wondering if she had been forgotten by the sect because she had not participated in some of the sect’s activities in the past few years.
Sure enough, after the sect deacon finished reading out the names, he announced that the preliminary assessment was over.
"Okay, the preliminary assessment is over. Next, it will be the actual combat assessment. In order to let the elders of the sect get to know you better, the remaining 200 people will have a one-on-one arena competition. The winner can get a reward of 500 contribution points from the sect." The sect deacon announced.
Ye Liuyun became anxious, and she quickly shouted to the sect's deacon.
"Sir Deacon, what about me? Why am I not on the list of people taking the assessment?" Ye Liuyun hurriedly shouted to the sect's deacon.
Lin Aoxue, who was standing next to Ye Liuyun, was also very dissatisfied. She had waited for a long time, but unexpectedly, the sect had forgotten about Ye Liuyun during the assessment.
When Ye Liuyun opened his mouth, everyone present showed a playful expression.
How come there is one person missing? The missing person happens to be Lin Aoxue's sister.
Upon seeing this, Yun Yun on the high platform immediately looked at a certain outer sect elder unhappily. One person was missed, and it happened to be Ye Liuyun.
She didn't want Lin Aoxue to think that the sect was deliberately bullying her sister and leave a bad impression again.
"Elder Yun Mu, what's going on? Why is one person missing?" Yun Yun asked with a bad look.
The outer sect elder named Yun Mu immediately became nervous when he saw Yun Yun questioning him.
"I, this subordinate doesn't know either. I'll check it right away." Elder Yun Mu quickly took out a list and looked at it carefully.
Upon taking a look, he discovered that there was a disciple who had not attended attendance once in three years. The so-called attendance meant attending the Lundao Pavilion to teach.
Ye Liuyun never went there once, so it was normal for him to be ignored and forgotten by them. They thought that the disciple named Ye Liuyu was missing.
Of course, it doesn’t mean you have to go to teach and preach.
"This? Sect Master, there is a disciple named Ye Liuyu who has not participated in any activities for novice disciples in the past three years. Maybe she was forgotten during the registration and assessment." Elder Yunmu explained.
Yun Yun was stunned again, so she said something casually.
"Forget it, let's go down and talk to her and let her take the test." Yun Yun didn't want to be upset over such a small matter.
Elder Yun Mu nodded, then flew down from the platform and landed in front of the sect steward who was still in a state of confusion, because he had been looking at the list for a long time and didn't see anything missing.
But judging from her appearance, she was indeed an entry-level disciple of the sect. The fact that her name was not listed meant that she had been forgotten.
At this moment, Elder Yun Mu landed beside him. He first glanced at Ye Liuyun, and then said a few words to the sect's deacon.
After hearing this, the other party was stunned. He didn't expect that the little girl in front of him had really been forgotten.
After Yun Mu finished speaking, he returned to the platform again.
And the sect's deacon couldn't help but teach Ye Liuyun a lesson.
"Ye Liuyu, right? Where have you been, little girl, for the past three years? You never participated in any of the activities for novice disciples. It's normal that we forgot about you." The sect's deacon complained.
As soon as these words came out, the disciples around him couldn't help but laugh.
It is too weird for an apprentice to not participate in learning for three years.
"This junior sister is interesting. As an entry-level disciple, she doesn't participate in the entry-level disciple's studies. I'm very curious. Where does she get the confidence to not participate?"
"You're right, this junior sister does have the strength of the Lingxi realm. It seems that she must have reached the Lingxi realm in the secular world, so after entering the sect, she felt that there was no need for her to participate in the study."
Everyone started whispering to each other.
Ye Liuyun smiled awkwardly, but did not explain anything. Only Nalan Yan knew that Ye Liuyun had been in the Medicine Pavilion for the past few years.
"Okay, okay, be quiet. Come up here, little girl. I also want to see how much your strength can be improved without participating in the sect's studies." The sect's deacon gestured.
When Ye Liuyun heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled at Lin Aoxue and walked up to the examination platform.
"Come on, attack with all your strength. You only have one chance, don't take it lightly." said the sect's deacon.
Ye Liuyun nodded, then stepped back a distance and retreated to the edge of the arena. Her spiritual power was too weak, just at the initial stage of Lingxi Realm, which was just right. However, in the past three years, her physical strength had exceeded her spiritual power.
Ye Liuyun's attack requires speed, so a running start can make his attack stronger.
"Master Deacon, I'll start." Ye Liuyun reminded.
The sect deacon nodded.
The moment he nodded, Ye Liuyun's body shot out at high speed like an arrow from a bow, covering a distance of dozens of meters in a flash. This speed made everyone's eyes light up.
"What a fast speed." Yun Yun and others said in surprise.
Ye Liuyun increased his speed to the maximum, then appeared in front of the sect's deacon and slapped him with a palm.
The sect's deacon was puzzled because he found that although Ye Liuyun was very fast, the palm he threw did not contain much spiritual power.
Since there was no spiritual power and he only relied on physical strength, he didn't need to defend himself deliberately. He just used his physical strength to resist Ye Liuyun's attack.
However, this sect deacon seemed to underestimate Ye Liuyun's attack. After Ye Liuyun's attack landed on his abdomen, it directly caused his abdomen to cave in.
The sect's deacon's eyes bulged out, his mouth opened wide, his body instinctively bent over, he covered his stomach, and lay on the ground, vomiting bitterly.
The martial arts arena fell into complete silence...
This scene was even more unbelievable than Lin Aoxue’s previous attack.
Lin Aoxue was shocked when she saw this scene.
"Oh my god? A deacon at the Dao Palace level was knocked down with just one palm. No way? It must be fake?" Lin Aoxue was dumbfounded.
To be precise, everyone was dumbfounded. They didn't know how Ye Liuyun did it.
The sect's deacon kept retching and didn't recover for a long time.
"How is this possible? That palm strike just now clearly did not carry a trace of spiritual power, so why, why did it produce such a strong force after landing on me?" The sect deacon raised his head and looked at Ye Liuyun in confusion.
Ye Liuyun did not expect such a result. Judging from her expression, she was also shocked.
"I'm in trouble. Hello, hey, hey, my good master, what's going on? Isn't this guy a Taoist monk? How come he can't even withstand one palm from me?" Ye Liuyun asked in surprise.
Lin Qingyou was also a little confused at this time, but she roughly figured out what the problem was.
"Because your palm power is not driven by the spiritual power of the wheel sea, but generated by the strength of the flesh and bones. This old guy didn't notice the fluctuation of your power, so he confidently used the strength of his body to resist."
“And the Falling Leaves and Flying Flowers Palm that I taught you is a palm technique that can penetrate the defense of an object. The palm technique contains hidden power, which ignores his physical defense and directly causes penetrating damage to his body.” Lin Qingyou explained.
In other words, if this guy held up his defense, he would be fine, but he was just too confident.
Chapter 31: Arena Competition
This scene was awkward. The sect's steward was called Yun Cheng. After taking a breath, he stood up again and instinctively glanced around with his peripheral vision.
When he saw the disciples around him and the sect leader elders on the high platform looking at him with confused eyes, he knew that he had made a big fool of himself.
"You, little girl, are quite strong. Relying on physical strength alone, you have almost reached the peak level of Lingxi Realm. You have passed. It was I who miscalculated and did not take the initiative to defend myself." Although Yun Cheng was a little embarrassed, he still judged that Ye Liuyun had passed.
When Ye Liuyun heard Yun Cheng say this, he immediately bowed to Yun Cheng in embarrassment to express his apology.
"I'm sorry, Deacon, I didn't expect you not to use your internal energy to resist." Ye Liuyun said with cold sweat on his face.
"Oh! It's my own problem. You taught me a lesson. I should never look down on anyone in the future. Go down. You passed." Yun Cheng sighed, and then added Ye Liuyun's name to the list of those who passed the test.
When everyone heard Yun Cheng's voice, they finally understood that Yun Cheng did not use any internal energy to defend himself, and Ye Liuyun's attack was mainly based on physical strength, and the power of this physical attack had reached the peak of the Lingxi realm.
However, even so, could a physical attack at the peak of the Lingxi Realm injure a Dao Palace cultivator? They still found it a little strange.
However, Yun Yun and others noticed some problems.
"The palm power of this little girl seems to contain a hidden force. The hidden force penetrated Yun Cheng's body and injured Yun Cheng. It's interesting. It seems that Ye Liuyu has been practicing physical strength for the past three years." Yun Yun basically understood.
"Physical strength? Sect Master, are you saying that this little girl didn't cultivate spiritual power?" Yun Ling asked curiously.
Yun Yun used her spiritual sense to glance at Ye Liuyun. In her eyes, the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from Ye Liuyun's body surface were very weak, at most only the power fluctuations of the early Lingxi Realm.
"This little girl's spiritual root aptitude is not good, or even very poor. If she focuses on spiritual power, she will not be able to achieve much success. Perhaps if she takes the path of body refining, there may be more hope." Yun Yun retracted her spiritual consciousness and replied.
However, when Yun Ling and others heard what Yun Yun said, they immediately lost interest in Ye Liuyun, because in the cognition of normal cultivators, the improvement of spiritual power is the orthodox method of cultivation.
The improvement of physical strength is limited. There are people in the cultivation world who have majored in physical strength, but unfortunately they cannot go far. As the body ages, physical strength will gradually weaken.
Looking at Ye Liuyun again, she returned to Lin Aoxue with a smile.
"So, I've told you, I can definitely pass." Ye Liuyun said with a confident smile.
"How did you do it? You knocked down a first-level deacon of the Taoist Palace with just one slap. You have become more famous than me. Look at those old disciples, they are all looking at you." Lin Aoxue gestured to Ye Liuyun and looked around.
Ye Liuyun knew very well that people around her were looking at her. She felt like a thorn in her back, but she could only pretend that she felt nothing and pretended not to see it.
"It's a secret. However, the main reason is that the deacon did not hold up his defense. If he had taken the initiative to defend, this would not have been the result. It's just that he was careless. I have been focusing on physical strength in the past few years. My body is stronger than my spiritual power." Ye Liuyun smiled mysteriously.
Lin Aoxue did not ask any further questions, and the two began to talk about the upcoming competition in the ring, but Ye Liuyun secretly stuffed a lot of things into Lin Aoxue's arms.
"Aoxue, I'll give you some good things. These are the pills I made. I have written down the efficacy and function of each pill. Take them back and use them, but don't tell them that they were given to you by me." Ye Liuyun secretly stuffed a storage bag into Lin Aoxue's hands.
Lin Aoxue was stunned, then asked curiously.
"Have you really become an alchemist? You're not just going to the Alchemy Pavilion for fun?"
"Nonsense, do you think I'm a boring person? Anyway, I will definitely not harm you. When the time comes, I will tell you everything you want to know." Ye Liuyun said.
When Lin Aoxue heard this, she happily took the things away and waited for the second round of competition to begin.
The pain in Yun Cheng's abdomen had disappeared. After all, it was only a physical attack from the Lingxi realm. It would only hurt him for a while, and it was impossible for it to leave any scars.
Yun Cheng flew to Yun Yun on the high platform with the list, and then asked Yun Yun and the elders to draw up the list of opponents.
"Master, this is the list of disciples who have passed the assessment. You decide how to arrange the next duel." Yun Cheng said respectfully.
Yun Yun nodded and asked casually.
"Yuncheng, are you okay? The palm strike from that little girl just now seemed to have hidden power."
