Chapter 1768: Newcomer on the Gold List
Chapter 1768: Newcomer on the Gold List
Shangguan Yi frowned slightly at Li Jiuyou's answer, obviously dissatisfied with the answer.
Her perception had already swept across the entire Chunyan headquarters, and she did not detect any trace of Zhou Yi.
This result means that either Zhou Yi's training place is in a small world that she cannot detect, or Li Jiuyou is lying and Zhou Yi is not at Chunyan headquarters at all. Judging from the current situation, it is more likely that Li Jiuyou is lying.
If Zhou Yi was not at Chunyan headquarters.
Where else could it be?
According to rumors from outside, Zhou Yi should be in Baixiaotang.
Do I really have to go to Baixiaotang?
Shangguan Yi's inner thoughts were extremely rich at this time.
"There are a total of six people on the first rank of the gold list. Do you know who the other two will be?" Li Jiuyou asked casually.
The current destinations of these six people are: two from Chunyan, one from Qifu and one from Wuge, and the other two are said to be still hesitating. Many major forces have extended olive branches to them.
Although Li Jiuyou was curious about their final destination, the real purpose of her asking this question was to change the subject. She was also confused about Zhou Yi's affairs.
The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. It’s better not to talk about it.
"Why, two aren't enough, you want more?"
"The more genius there is, the better..."
"..."
Chunyan's selection exam was proceeding in an orderly manner. From time to time, exclamations or cheers could be heard from the crowd, as some newcomers performed particularly well.
The most eye-catching person at the moment is a young man who possesses yellow-quality gold-attribute true qi and the strength of a mid-third level. He ranks among the top in several tests.
A considerable portion of the cheers at the scene were for him.
During the discussion, some people began to speak up for him, wondering why such a genius did not make it onto the gold list.
Even the eyes of many big men on the first floor looked over curiously. Qi Kaiyang looked at the data information in his hand and said, "Shi Shan is from the Shi family in Hanhai City. When his true energy was revived, he sold almost half of the Shi family in exchange for a silver seat."
"Before the resurgence of the true qi, he became a first-grade master at the age of fifty. After the resurgence of the true qi, he was promoted to the second grade in three days. Then, he was promoted to the third grade after practicing in the spirit gathering area of Silver Seat for three months."
Seeing this, Qi Kaiyang said with a hint of regret:
"If the above information is all true, it's a pity for this person. If the silver seat is replaced by the gold seat, with the talent he has shown, he might be able to enter the gold list. But even so, the gold list is more than enough."
The Third House Master smiled softly: "The Gold List is not based on strength but talent. If this Shi Shan was really a first-class person before his Qi was revived, then he would be more than enough to get a B-level on the Gold List. I'm afraid Bai Xiao Tang will fail again."
Mu Xiuzi followed up and said, “I would like to congratulate Palace Master Li in advance for finding a genius who is not on the gold list.”
Li Jiuyou also said a few polite words, and it can be seen that she is in a good mood. Shi Shan, the genius on the gold list, is a complete surprise. Although there are currently more than fifty geniuses on the gold list who have joined Chunyan, there is no such thing as too many geniuses.
Moreover, with Shi Shan's current talent, if he were in Chunyan before Zhou Yi came, he would be fully qualified to compete with Li Guihuo for the title of Chunyan's number one talent.
However, there are more than fifty such geniuses now. The contrast between the past and the present made Li Jiuyou laugh even with her temperament. Of course, she also knew that Zhou Yi had made the greatest contribution here.
"Is all the information you collected about recruiting new members true?" Shangguan Yi, who had been silent, spoke up at this time. His voice was as clear and pleasant as a mountain spring.
Li Jiuyou was slightly stunned, thought for a moment and said, "Because there are so many people and time is tight, we at Chunyan don't have enough manpower to check them one by one, so that's unrealistic."
Qi Kaiyang also said: "Strength and talent cannot be faked, and there is no point in faking family background."
"Lord Shangguan is interested in this stone mountain?"
Shangguan Yi shook her head and wanted to say something but held back. The purpose of her coming this time was Zhou Yi. After confirming that Zhou Yi was not at Chunyan headquarters, if so many people hadn't been watching her leave directly, which would have embarrassed Chunyan, she would have wanted to leave long ago. There was no point in staying here any longer, so she could only close her eyes in boredom and think about Zhou Yi's question.
Now hearing them talking about Shishan, she casually glanced at the crowd below and quickly saw the problem.
I wanted to remind him but when I thought about it carefully, it would not only be meaningless to say such a thing, but it would also make everyone embarrassed, so I just continued to close my eyes.
Besides, he is just a junior and cannot cause any waves. The other party may not have any ill intentions and is just a young man who wants to attract some attention.
Let’s think about how to solve Zhou Yi’s problem.
It’s such a headache.
Shangguan Yi rubbed his snow-white forehead.
His expression was slightly confused.
Before these bigwigs had discussed Shishan for even a minute, the topic turned to other things.
No one cares about Shishan anymore.
The selection process continued and soon came to the last item, which was a practical test.
For old students, there is no point in testing actual combat, as realm plus talent is almost equivalent to strength. But it is completely different for these newcomers in the martial arts world. They have just embarked on the path of cultivation. Due to the revival of true qi, their realm has improved rapidly, but their actual combat ability cannot be improved accordingly.
Therefore, this test is still necessary.
There were nearly two thousand people originally, but after several rounds of testing, most of them were eliminated, and now there are less than four hundred left. Under normal circumstances, these more than three hundred people will join Chunyan, and the last practical test will not eliminate anyone.
Because the previous tests measure your overall talent, which is fixed or difficult to improve, but actual combat can be improved through hard work.
As long as you have the talent, your practical ability will definitely not be too bad after training.
This test is also equivalent to a baseline test, which will help Chunyan determine the training direction for each person in the future.
Platforms were quickly built on the square, dozens of them of various sizes, which could accommodate more than a hundred people fighting at the same time, and then stacked into a pyramid shape.
There are more than twenty arenas on the bottom level, but only one at the highest level, so although the horse tests are carried out simultaneously, this highest arena will undoubtedly attract the most attention.
The rules of the last test are relatively simple and crude, that is, a one-on-one battle in the ring. Those below the third rank will fight against spirits of the same realm, and those above the third rank will fight against formal disciples of the Chunyan organization, or "old students."
At this time, an old man flew out from the second floor of the viewing platform. It was Chunyan's chief elder Qi Hong. The other tests were relatively safe, but this last test involved actual combat after all, so it was impossible for there to be no danger at all.
In case of any accidents, someone needs to watch over it.
Qi Hong also serves as the head of Chunyan Law Enforcement Hall, so he will preside over this final test.
Looking at the more than 300 talented newcomers below, Qi Hong couldn't help but smile. He never dreamed that Chunyan would one day be able to recruit so many talented newcomers.
Taking a deep breath, Qi Hong said in a kind tone: "Everyone, congratulations on having passed the various selections and reached this point. This means that you are excellent."
"It can be said that one foot has already stepped into our spring."
"Why do you say it's a foot?"
"Because this last test will also eliminate people."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar from the audience, which made them feel relieved again. They were confused because they had heard in advance that the actual test would not eliminate anyone, and now there were nearly four hundred people left, which also met Chunyan's "recruitment plan".
