chapter 8 Wutang assessment

In the early morning, warm sunlight pours down through the windows and into the house. The scattered light spots are dazzling, lively and full of life.

On the wooden bed in the house, the young man was dressed in black, his back as straight as a pine tree, and he was sitting cross-legged motionless. The air flowing from his mouth and nose was like a dragon, and there was a faint vibration in his body.

At this moment, the energy and blood in Farrell Almond body were all restrained like a suppressed volcano.

At a certain moment, it seemed that this oppression could finally be suppressed, and with a roar, a majestic energy and blood suddenly burst out from his body.

As the roar came out, Farrell Almond suddenly opened his black eyes. Two cold lightnings seemed to flash in the room, and the energy and blood bursting out of his body seemed to reach the sixth level of body tempering at this moment.

For more than half a month, he had been living in seclusion and practicing hard. Finally, after spending dozens of body tempering pills, he succeeded in breaking through.

In just over half a month, he broke through from the fifth level of Body Tempering to the sixth level of Body Tempering. This speed is absolutely astonishing. If others knew about it, their jaws would probably drop in shock.

Of course, only Farrell Almond himself knew that the reason why he was able to break through so quickly was entirely because of the mysterious drop of blood that day, which greatly increased his physique.

And with this period of training, Farrell Almond was also shocked to find that after tempering his body with that drop of mysterious blood essence, it took several days to refine one blood refining pill in the past, but now he can refine several in a day. , just like eating jelly beans, there is no need to worry about exploding and dying.

Ye Hao originally thought that the nearly two hundred body tempering pills he had accumulated for four years would be enough to support him in training for a period of time, but he did not expect that after his physical fitness greatly increased, he would consume dozens of them in just half a month.

"It seems that we have to enter the martial arts hall today."Farrell Almond murmured and stood up, looking towards the Almond Family outside the window, which was getting noisy.

Today is the day of the Ye Family Martial Arts Examination.

Whether it is to deal with Truman Almond and the other two, or for Wu Tang's abundant training resources, he must pass this assessment.

At this moment, Onelia Wu, who was dressed in Tsing Yi and with a slender figure, suddenly pushed open the door and walked in. She looked at the young man who was as tall as a javelin, and a trace of worry appeared in her bright eyes. She hesitated and said: "Young Master, the martial arts assessment is going to be in the dark." Isn’t it too risky in the Abyss Mountains?”

"Onelia, you don't want to see me being called a loser all my life, right?"

Looking at the deep worry in the girl's clear and beautiful eyes, Farrell Almond smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, don't you still believe in my strength?"

Farrell Almond current state has not only returned to the peak of the past, but also his physical strength has greatly increased under the baptism of the mysterious blood essence. His current combat power is far better than that of the past. Even if he is facing a cultivator at the eighth level of body tempering, he Everyone has the confidence to fight.

Even if he enters the outer area of ​​the Black Abyss Mountains, he still has the power to protect himself.

"Young Master, then you... must be careful, and if it doesn't work, exit immediately. No one else dares to say anything when the clan leader is around!"Onelia sighed softly in his heart, his beautiful face still full of worry.

She has been with Farrell Almond since they were young, so she naturally knows his temper, and when it comes to making up his mind, no matter how much others try to persuade him, it will be of no avail.

Farrell Almond smiled and nodded, letting the girl help him arrange his clothes, and then walked out of the house.

…

At this time, the Almond Family martial arts performance arena was already bustling with people and noisy. All members the Almond Family attached great importance to annual events such as the martial arts assessment.

Therefore, the martial arts arena that used to be vast and empty is now crowded and extremely lively and crowded. It can be said that 90% of the Almond Family members are gathered here at this moment.

On the high platform at the front of the martial arts arena, Ye Yunfeng, a tall Elgin Almond with white beard and hair, sat upright with a majestic expression. Beside him, there were three old men, who were the three elders the Almond Family.

These three people are the three people with the highest status in the entire the Almond Family except for the clan leader. They are also genuine Dao Soul Realm powerhouses. Even Elgin Almond does not dare to neglect them.

And below the high platform, a group of boys and girls were talking to each other, full of energy and energy, looking either nervous or excited. They were the children of the Almond Family participating in this martial arts examination.

Ilithyia Almond and Truman Almond are among them.

Today, Truman Almond's qi and blood are stronger than before, and it seems that he is just one step away from breaking through to the seventh level of body tempering.

As for Ilithyia Almond, she has a tall figure and a pretty face. Although the energy and blood fluctuations throughout her body are slightly weaker than Truman Almond, they have already reached the sixth level of body tempering.

Obviously, when she told Farrell Almond that day that he was about to break through to the sixth level of body tempering, it was not without purpose.

At this moment, the two of them stood together, their eyes scanning the crowd from time to time, and then they looked at each other, a hint of disappointment flashed in their cold eyes.

"Hmph, it seems that besides being tough-talking, that loser is not too stupid."

Truman Almond snorted coldly, his sinister face full of disdain. He originally wanted to take advantage of this Wutang assessment to completely eliminate Farrell Almond, but unexpectedly Farrell Almond never showed up. When Truman Almond came, the former obviously knew about the Wutang assessment. The danger was so great that he shrank away.

However, Truman Almond was not too surprised by this. After all, with Farrell Almond's strength at the second level of body tempering, if he came, he would probably die in the Black Abyss Mountains without him having to do anything.

He really didn't believe that Farrell Almond's luck like last time would happen again.

"His age has expired. If he does not take part in the clan assessment this time, even if he is not kicked out of the Almond Family for the clan leader's sake, he will not be able to get any training resources from the clan in the future."Ilithyia Almond raised her red lips. , sneered.

"As long as he stays in the Almond Family, there will be many opportunities to get rid of him in the future."Truman Almond sneered, not taking Ye Hao to heart at all.

Because Truman Almond is fully confident that by joining forces with Ilithyia Almond this time, the two of them at the sixth level of Body Tempering will definitely pass the assessment. When the time comes to enter the martial arts hall to practice, they will definitely be able to advance further.

When he thought of this, his cold eyes couldn't help but feel hot.

"Ahem, be quiet."

At this moment, among the figures on the high platform, a thin old man with sparse gray hair suddenly coughed, stood up slowly, and glanced at everyone in the audience with his turbid eyes.

For a moment, the bustling noise in the martial arts arena suddenly fell silent.

"Now, my the Almond Family's annual martial arts assessment has officially begun. The rules of this assessment are similar to those of previous years. We will go to the outskirts of the Black Abyss Mountains, and the monster material that needs to be obtained this time is... the heart of the Aoki Demonic Wolf."

hiss!

As soon as the old man's voice fell, there was a sudden sound of inhalation in the martial arts arena, and the younger generation participating in the assessment turned pale and their expressions suddenly stiffened.

You must know that the Aoki Demon Wolf has the strength of the sixth level of Body Tempering. With its monster body, even cultivators at the sixth level of Body Tempering may not be able to win it.

Thinking of this, even the few tribesmen at the sixth level of Body Tempering, including Truman Almond, frowned, not to mention those who were not at the sixth level of Body Tempering. At this moment, they were trembling in their hearts. fear.

If the person on the high platform hadn't been the second elder in charge of the martial arts hall of the Almond Family, many of the disciples participating in the assessment would have been unable to help but curse.

Such assessment requirements are simply impossible to complete.

The old man on the high platform seemed not to notice the ugly faces of everyone, and still said calmly: "Anyone who has confidence can step forward to participate in this assessment. As for the children who are seventeen years old this year, they must participate in this assessment." After the assessment, if you cannot obtain the heart of the Green Wood Demon Wolf, you must survive for three days outside the Black Abyss Mountains. Anyone who shrinks due to fear will be expelled from the Almond Family."

After the words fell, the faces of the tribesmen who had been present for a long time looked better. If they only stayed in the outer area of ​​​​the Black Abyss Mountains for three days, the difficulty would be much less than hunting the Aoki Demon Wolf.

After all, the mountainous area they went to conduct the assessment had been explored by all forces in Black Abyss City. It was not like those uninhabited areas that were full of dangers.

"Come forward."

After the old man finished speaking, all the younger disciples, except for a few, came forward with bitter expressions. Ilithyia Almond, who was only sixteen years old, also followed Truman Almond.

Although this test is difficult, with the strength of the two of them at the sixth level of body tempering, it is not without hope.

Looking at the younger generation with different faces below, the second elder the Almond Family nodded slightly and said: "The rest of the rules are the same as in previous years, the martial arts assessment, life and death, two people in groups, helping each other, now... on your own Let’s start forming a team.”

The children the Almond Family have long been familiar with these rules in previous years, so before taking part in the assessment, most of them had already agreed with each other to go together.

Soon, dozens of disciples participating in this assessment were divided into groups of two and lined up neatly.

However, after everyone selected their companions, only a thin and introverted young man was left in the room, his face turned red and he stood there helplessly.

Looking at this figure, the others were slightly startled, and they all burst into laughter. Even the old man on the high platform frowned slightly.

Obviously, there is an odd number of tribesmen participating in the assessment this time, and one of them is destined to be alone, and this young man named Gian Almond, because of his introverted personality, did not agree with others in advance, so he ended up in the current embarrassing situation.

Of course, this kind of situation often happened in the past. Although it is a bit unfair to those who are left alone, where can there be so much fairness in the world?

Therefore, the old man on the high platform sighed softly in his heart and said calmly: "Gian Almond, you will be alone for this assessment."

When the thin young man heard this, his face darkened. He opened his mouth but did not dare to refute the elders of the clan.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind the martial arts arena, making everyone in the arena startled.

"Second Elder, let me join him."

Following the sound, the crowded crowd parted like a wave, and then, a young man in black with a handsome face and a slender and tall figure walked into the venue.

The person who came was none other than Farrell Almond.

After standing still in the field, Farrell Almond turned to look at the dull-looking young man next to him, chuckled, shrugged, and said, "If you don't mind, we can be together."

"Farrell Almond?"

Looking at the warm smile on the former's face, Gian Almond was stunned for a moment, his eyes brightened, and he nodded excitedly and said: "I don't mind, I don't mind!"

Although Farrell Almond Gian Almond was not sociable, he had heard about the rumors about Ye Hao. He knew that the former was only at the second level of Body Tempering. If it were someone else, he would probably feel like a burden and would rather be alone.

But Gian Almond didn't care about this, because he was introverted and shy, and the moment he was isolated and watched by everyone just now, it was simply worse than death.

It was Ye Hao in front of him who helped him break the embarrassing situation, so even if Farrell Almond strength was low, he didn't mind at all in a team of two.

Moreover, he himself has the fourth level of body tempering. Although there is no hope of hunting down the Green Wood Demonic Wolf, as long as his luck is not extremely bad, he can still protect Farrell Almond to survive for three days in the outer area of ​​the mountain range.

"Hahaha, am I right? It's Farrell Almond, a loser?"

"How did his injury heal so quickly?"

"Tsk, needless to say, the clan leader must have secretly given him the elixir to heal his injuries."

"With his strength at the second level of Body Tempering, he will definitely die in this test. It's really stupid."

With the arrival of Farrell Almond, the entire martial arts arena suddenly erupted into laughter after a period of dead silence. Even Truman Almond and Ilithyia Almond couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and then sneered again and again, with amusement in their eyes.

"Farrell, what are you talking about!"

While everyone was laughing, Elgin Almond suddenly stood up from the high platform and slapped the table with a livid face. Everyone in the martial arts arena was as silent as a cicada and suddenly fell silent.
