Chapter 30 Don't Test Me

Daozong sect used a special method to bind all ferocious beasts above the seventh rank outside the forest for a hundred miles. Naturally, this was done to protect the disciples who entered here. After...Xiao Yi's book, Huo Yuan's words, and the expressions of realization on everyone's faces, even the glint of killing intent hidden deep in Huo Yuan's eyes, Ginger Cloud noticed them all, but he ignored them completely. He just stared at the five Lingzhu, a thought flashing through his mind.

"Could there be Dao within this spirit orb..."

Although Gingercloud does indeed need items imbued with Taoist meaning, she hopes not to encounter any such things at this time.

However, he wasn't particularly worried. After all, the black stone was now in his dantian. Even if this Spirit Testing Pearl contained Dao intent, it shouldn't explode.

"Testing begins! Huo Yuan, you're first!"

Just then, Xiao Yishu's voice rang out again, naturally drawing everyone's attention away from Jiang Yun.

As a disciple of the Inner Gate, Huo Yuan took a step forward to the front of the Spirit Testing Orb. The moment he reached out and grasped it, his internal Qi surged towards the orb.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

As spiritual energy flowed in, the spirit orb trembled slightly. Within that trembling, a milky white light gradually brightened from within the orb and spread into the air through it.

One, two, … four, five!

Seeing the five white rays shot out, most of the faces immediately showed envy and surprise. Even Xiao Yishu nodded in rare approval, "Not bad, Junior Brother Huo. When you first entered, you were at the third level of Tongmai. In just half a year, you've raised your realm by two levels. You truly deserve to be an inner disciple!"

Every new disciple's cultivation realm is recorded by a designated person upon entry, so Xiao Yi had a clear understanding of the realms of these four hundred people at the beginning.

Hearing Xiao Yi's praise, Huo Yuan's face lit up with pride. These six months of intense cultivation were all for this moment, to truly shine during the re-examination!

A single level of improvement isn't anything special, but a two-level jump truly showcases his extraordinary abilities.

It was evident that he had achieved his goal. Hearing the astonished gasps of the crowd around him, he reined in his smug expression and donned a humble smile. He bowed deeply to Xiao Yishu and said, "Thank you for your kind words, Senior Brother Xiao!"

... But no one saw it, on Huo Yuan's face that had lowered, the humble smile had already turned into a sneer, because he also hadn't forgotten, back then when Xiao Yishu had driven him and Tang Yi back with just two words!

Xiao Yi wouldn't have thought that his casual act that day would cause Huo Yuan to harbor resentment forever. He nodded and said, "Just stand aside for now!"

Yes!

Huo Yuan responded with a sound, walked aside, and once again a smug look appeared on his face, waiting for the reactions of the others.

Next, Xiao Yishu reported another name: "Wushang!"

From the crowd, a tall and straight black-clad man like a towering pine stepped out.

At the sight of this man, Jiang Yun's eyes narrowed slightly. He clearly remembered the dangerous feeling he had gotten when they first met, and after half a year, that feeling still lingered.

"So his name is Wushang, and his strength must be above Huo Yuan!"

For Wusang, although no one knew his origins, back then only he and Huo Yuan had passed the three initial trials. Therefore, everyone present naturally widened their eyes at this moment, eager to see his retest performance.

Just saw him stride confidently towards a spirit-testing orb, reach out and grasp it. And just three breaths later, several beams of light shot up from the spirit-testing orb instantly.

Because several beams of light appeared almost simultaneously, most people hadn't even had time to see clearly when Wú Shāng loosened the divination orb and returned silently to his original position.

"A few lights Did you see them clearly"

I couldn't see clearly, it was too fast. Anyway, there were at least five!

As the crowd buzzed with discussion, Xiao Yishu's face instead displayed a peculiar look. He fixed his gaze deeply on Wu Shang before speaking, "From fivefold to sevenfold, an increase of two realms. Not bad!"

Although Huo Yuan and Wu Shang's scores sound the same, they are not actually equal. Huo Yuan improved by two levels, from triple to fivefold, while Wu Shang went from fivefold to sevenfold. All cultivators understand that the higher the realm, the harder it is to improve, and there is no comparison at all.

What's more, Jiang Yun knew better than anyone that the true strength of Wushang wasn't limited to the seven layers of Tongmai. He was hiding his cultivation!

Xiao Yi also knew this, which is why he deliberately glanced at Wu Shang.

Because he couldn't understand why, this extremely valuable opportunity for everyone to retake the exam, where everyone would try their best to improve their scores, there were still people who deliberately concealed their cultivation.

Xiao Yi certainly wouldn't have thought that someone who wanted to deliberately conceal their cultivation level wasn't just Wu Shang!

As for Huo Yuan, the smug expression on his face instantly froze. He stared intently at Wu Shang, who had walked to the side with a blank expression, a flash of hatred passing through his heart.

He was feeling a bit smug after recently gaining some popularity, but then this unscathed guy came along and effortlessly overshadowed him. It made him incredibly angry.

The third one to step out was the young woman with the dual-channel body. Her realm had unexpectedly risen by three levels, from the second level of pulse connection to the fifth!

Although everyone was surprised by her performance, considering her dual-channel physique and the fact that her cultivation base was not high to begin with, they were not too shocked.

Three inner disciples' retests all passed smoothly, and naturally it was the turn of outer and miscellaneous disciples. Everyone lined up in five rows and walked towards the Spirit Testing Orb one by one.

As time went on, the retesting gradually came to an end, and the results were much like before, with only about half of the participants able to pass successfully.

And of these half, a total of eight people have improved by two realms. Besides Huo Yuan and Wu Shang, there are Tang Yi among the outer disciples, and the remaining five were originally mortals.

Of those who achieved the threefold realm, there was only one, a woman with dual channels.

The rest, of course, was just an elevation to a higher level.

First, the Chinese text needs to be translated. Once you provide me with the Chinese text within the > tags, I can translate it into English for you. Let me know when you're ready!

But no matter what, these people can all breathe a sigh of relief because from today onwards, they have officially become members of the Wudao Sect.

As for those disciples who failed the re-examination, it naturally means that they will either become handyman disciples or permanently leave the Wenda Sect, even leaving the path of cultivation!

Finally, all eyes turned to Jiang Yun, who had stood at the corner of the plaza all along. Even those disciples who had already been downgraded and were about to be expelled from the sect were no exception.

They still want to see how this guy, who didn't pass the first round but somehow got lucky and moved on, will perform in today's retest.

Xiao Yi casually put away four Lingzhu, leaving only one. Then he looked at Jiang Yun and said, "You, either don't measure it!"

As a cultivator of the blessed land, Xiao Yishu couldn't sense any spiritual energy fluctuations on Jiang Yun. Therefore, in his opinion, Jiang Yun, who lacked Dao heart, Dao spirit, and Dao body, remained an ordinary person even after half a year of cultivation.

He advised Jiang Yun not to test it because he was a little worried in his heart that this measuring spirit orb might unexpectedly explode again...

Jiang Yun reached out and touched his nose, smiling wryly: "If Senior Brother Xiao doesn't mind, I still want to try it."

Although Xiao Yishu felt a little displeased with Jiang Yun's insistence, he couldn't really prevent her from participating in the re-examination. So he hardened his face and said: "Fine, hurry up then!"

Watching Jiang Yun walk calmly towards the Spirit Measuring Orb, the onlookers couldn't help but start whispering amongst themselves.

"Senior Brother Xiao did this for his own good, to save him from embarrassment. But he doesn't know how to appreciate it!"

"That's right, after half a year, he's still just an ordinary person, yet he insists on taking the test, it's like asking for humiliation!"

He wouldn't be daydreaming, would he That after the test was over, someone would suddenly appear and take him on as a disciple!

"Dream on! He wouldn't even be wanted as a servant, let alone being taken in as an outer disciple!"

In the midst of jeers and laughter, Jiang Yun finally arrived before the Spirit Bead. After a brief hesitation, he reached out and gently grasped the Spirit Bead.es in formations and contemplating the way of formations, his spiritual energy and divine awareness were also constantly circulating.Therefore, his cultivation realm also improved accordingly."Now, ho...
