Chapter 170 To the Examination Grounds

"Since that's the case, let's go and take a look."

Lu Changsheng nodded.

To be honest, life without Qingfeng was indeed a bit boring.

He really didn't know where Qingfeng had gone.

Hopefully, he was eating enough.

After reminiscing, Lu Changsheng followed Chen Yinrou towards the Shumen Holy Land's examination grounds.

The first test of the Shumen Holy Land was to assess age and aptitude.

By the time Lu Changsheng arrived, a large batch of disciples had already been examined.

"Failed!"

"Failed!"

"Failed!"

Voices rang out one after another, and in the drill ground, there were ten long, dragon-like queues.

The examination method was very simple. Each examination point had a jade sword. Placing one's hand on the jade sword would automatically cause sword light to illuminate.

Three illuminated strands were considered passing.

The highest was nine strands.

However, as Lu Changsheng looked,

the vast majority failed. Not to mention three strands, many couldn't even illuminate a single strand of sword light.

And the number was extremely high, not just one or two.

Calculating by time, for the duration it took to burn a stick of incense, not a single passing result was heard.

The rate of elimination was really not a little high.

"Young Master Lu, you can try, perhaps you can activate nine sword lights."

Chen Yinrou said this from the side.

"There's no need, I have a sect."

Lu Changsheng replied calmly. He didn't plan to join the Shumen Holy Land, so joining in on the fun was meaningless.

But Chen Yinrou shook her head and said, "Young Master Lu, you may not know this, but even if you have a sect, you can still test your sword dao talent. It's not like testing means you have to join the Shumen Holy Land, although ninety-nine percent of the people here want to join the Shumen Holy Land."

Chen Yinrou said this.

"Oh? It can be like that?"

Lu Changsheng was a little surprised.

According to the normal routine, if he went to test, he would definitely be able to activate nine sword lights. He lacked everything else, but his talent was the best. Apart from cultivation talent, other aspects would have the blessing of unusual phenomena.

Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment.

If he activated nine sword lights and attracted the attention of the Shumen Holy Land, then a great figure would appear. Seeing that he was Lu Changsheng, it could be considered an elegant entrance, right?

After carefully considering it,

Lu Changsheng nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then let's give it a try."

"Then this servant will inform them, to save you wasting time."

Chen Yinrou planned to directly use her special privilege to cut in line, but Lu Changsheng immediately stopped Chen Yinrou, saying, "Just queue normally, don't cut in line. It's uncivilized."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yinrou couldn't help but be stunned, but she immediately nodded and said, "Young Master Lu is indeed of noble character. This servant was mistaken."

She said this, but Lu Changsheng didn't respond, simply waiting quietly.

In reality, it wasn't that Lu Changsheng was bored and liked to queue. It was mainly because it had only just started for a short time.

There were still so many disciples behind him. If he activated nine sword lights so early, wouldn't it seem like there was no sense of accomplishment?

Only after countless people failed would everyone understand how difficult success was.

Lu Changsheng grasped this routine very accurately.

And so, time passed little by little.

The sound of "Failed!" was extremely frequent.

Occasionally, a passing result would attract the attention of countless people.

It was a young man, and the test result was three sword lights, instantly drawing the attention of countless people.

"I succeeded! I succeeded! I succeeded!"

A voice of joy rang out, instantly attracting envious and jealous gazes.

Although he wasn't the first person to pass the aptitude test, proportionally speaking, being able to pass the test already meant crossing the first hurdle.

Perhaps because someone had passed, many people couldn't help but be encouraged, and they were all full of confidence.

However, reality was cruel.

"Failed!"

"Failed!"

"Failed!"

A full two hours later,

it was finally Lu Changsheng's turn.

The disciple responsible for the examination looked up and couldn't help but be stunned.

He was still captivated by Lu Changsheng's handsomeness.

"Is it possible to test now?"

Lu Changsheng's calm voice rang out, bringing the latter back to his senses.

"Ah, yes, please place your hand on the jade sword."

The latter came back to his senses, and then asked Lu Changsheng to place his hand on the jade sword to begin the test.

Lu Changsheng was also direct, placing his hand on the jade sword.

Then he waited for the jade sword to erupt.

However...

Ten breaths passed.

The jade sword was extremely calm.

There was no change.

Theoretically, it should only take three breaths to test sword dao talent.

Twenty breaths passed.

There was still no change at all.

Thirty breaths passed.

There was still no change at all.

Not to mention nine sword lights,

not even a single sword light appeared.

Lu Changsheng: "???"

This was unreasonable.

Had the unusual phenomenon disappeared?

Or was a cliché plot about to begin?

Not only Lu Changsheng,

but even Chen Yinrou and the testing disciple couldn't help but reveal curious expressions.

"Impossible, how could someone so handsome not even have a single strand of sword light?"

The testing disciple muttered softly, then immediately said, "Please wait a moment, I'll change the testing jade sword."

Lu Changsheng didn't even need to say anything.

The latter quickly got up to change it for Lu Changsheng.

Meanwhile, the testing cultivator to the side, looking at the jade sword that hadn't lit up, couldn't help but say, "Senior brother, can you help me change the jade sword?"

The latter glanced at this person, then slowly said, "You're worthy?"

The young cultivator: "???"

The young cultivator: "Then why can he and I can't?"

The Shumen disciple: "Don't you look at what you look like? What does he look like? Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, I'll call someone to drive you away?"

The young cultivator: "Okay! What a way to look down on people from a crack in the door! Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully a young man for being poor! There will always be a time when we meet again."

The Shumen disciple: "Huh? You dare to curse? Someone, write down this person's name, notify all the surrounding sects, and never recruit him!"

The young cultivator: "Senior brother, senior brother, I was wrong, I was wrong, don't, don't, don't, I'll leave now, I'll leave now!"

Lu Changsheng took all of this into his eyes, and felt a little fortunate in his heart.

Luckily, he was handsome, otherwise, this might have been his fate.

Soon, the testing disciple brought a new jade sword.

Lu Changsheng tested again.

Three breaths later.

No reaction!

Ten breaths later.

No reaction.

Twenty breaths later.

Still no reaction.

This was unreasonable.

Frowning, Lu Changsheng shook his head and said, "It seems I have no sword dao talent."

He said this.

But the sword-testing disciple immediately said, "Not necessarily, perhaps your sword dao talent is too extraordinary, and this ordinary jade sword can't test it. Why don't I go and change it for a better one?"

He took the initiative to request another replacement.

But Lu Changsheng himself understood.

The size not fitting was just not fitting, there was no need to force it.

Shaking his head, Lu Changsheng gave up.

The latter pondered for a moment, then shouted.

"This fellow Daoist, please wait."

After saying this, he took out a sword token and said, "This is a passage token. For the Shumen Holy Land examination, even if you fail the first round, it doesn't mean you've completely failed."

He said this, and in front of countless people, he directly handed the passage token to the other party!

In an instant, everyone was dumbfounded!

This was possible?
