The Demon Cultivator of the Sword

Chapter 14 Black Crow Taoist
Hearing this, Gu Yuan noticed that the vast majority of the people in front of him had reached the peak of the early stage of the Condensation Realm, and a very few had even reached the middle stage of the Condensation Realm.

He is the only one in the early stage of Condensation Realm.

Lin Yang added: "But with your strength, it should not be difficult to pass the inner disciple assessment."

Gu Yuan smiled and said nothing.

After a while, the assessment elder arrived late.

Standing at the front, the assessment elder, who was about forty years old and had a thin face, looked at everyone with dignity. When his eyes fell on Gu Yuan, a hint of tenderness slowly appeared on his stiff face.

"Little kid, are you Gu Yuan?"

"Disciple Gu Yuan, greetings to the elder."

Ever since he won first place in the last Mass Grave Mound Trial, Gu Yuan had become famous among the outer disciples. He was not surprised that the assessing elder knew him.

The assessment elder smiled and said, "You have great talent. At such a young age, you have already broken through the Condensation Realm, and have also cultivated the top-level human-level skills to the highest level. You are much better than my few unpromising disciples."

Lin Yang seemed to know the other person and greeted him as well, "Hello, Elder Black Crow."

"Well, work hard and don't embarrass your Lin family elder, old ghost Huo Lingzi."

Elder Black Crow nodded slightly. It can be seen that this Elder Black Crow seemed to know an elder of the Lin Yang family.

Elder Black Crow? Elder of the Lin family? It seems that the person in front of him is Wu Liangyu's master, Taoist Black Crow. As for Huo Lingzi, he must be the elder of the Fire Spirit Hall.

Gu Yuan vaguely remembered that in the original novel, Taoist Black Crow and Huo Lingzi were old friends.

The first time he appeared, he was about to fight near the Tianqian Gorge of Luoyan River.

It caused a great shock to Ye Chen.

I just don’t know why Lin Yang didn’t join the Fire Spirit Palace and chose the Flying Demon Sect. I think either he doesn’t like the Fire Spirit Palace which focuses on swordsmanship, or he is a rebellious teenager.

Taoist Black Crow's gaze did not linger on Lin Yang for too long. He glanced at everyone in the hall and said, "I don't care what your current cultivation level is, or what family you come from. If you want to become an inner sect disciple, it is not enough to just cross the blood river. Without further ado, ring the bronze bell twenty steps away. If it doesn't ring, then going to the third level would be a humiliation for you."

After saying that, Taoist Black Crow took everyone's information from the deacon disciple and said slowly: "The assessment begins. The first one is Han Xiaomei."

An ordinary-looking girl walked out from the front of the team. Her cultivation was the same as Lin Yang's, having reached the peak of the early stage of the Condensation Realm, but her aura was much weaker. It seemed that her top-level human-level skills had not reached the highest level.

She stopped twenty steps in front of the bronze bell, took a deep breath with a frown, curled her palms into claws, and swung out.

"Wind Claw!"

Swish!
The green claws were as big as a washbasin and they grabbed the bronze bell heavily.

The bronze bell shook slightly, but the sound was barely audible.

Taoist Black Crow said expressionlessly, "Passed. Next, Yang Gaojie."

Hearing this, the girl named Huang Xiaomei's brows relaxed and she stepped aside with a happy look on her face.

Then another seven or eight people went up, but except for the disciple who had reached the middle stage of the Condensation Realm, the others were very reluctant, and some of them couldn't even shake the bronze bell. They were miserably eliminated.

Finally it was Lin Yang's turn. "Next, Lin Yang."

Lin Yang walked forward and stood twenty steps away from the bronze bell. He placed his right palm, which contained true energy, across his chest and struck out like lightning.

hum!
The bronze bell rang faintly, but because the sound dissipated so quickly, many people didn't even hear it.

But Taoist Black Crow smiled and said, "Lin Yang, you passed. Next one, Gu Yuan." Because Lin Yang was the first one today who shook the bronze bell without using any martial arts.

"Huh!" Lin Yang breathed a sigh of relief, stepped aside and passed by Gu Yuan, whispered: "This bronze bell can only be shaken by those who have reached the middle stage of the Condensation Realm, don't be careless later."

He was a little too arrogant just now, thinking that he could easily shake the bronze bell without using any martial arts, and he almost capsized in the ditch.

Gu Yuan smiled slightly, without hiding his strength, and walked forward a few steps casually. When he was still quite a distance away from the bronze bell, he punched out.

Crackling!

Boom!
Blood-red lightning flashed, and the bronze bell vibrated violently. The lingering sound lingered for a long time and reached the foot of the mountain several miles away.

The two deacon disciples at the foot of the mountain were shocked. Who was this? This was the first time in several years that such a big commotion had occurred.

In the hall.

"I guess I'm not mistaken. What he just used seems to be the low-level Earth-level martial art Shocking Lightning Fist."

"Not only that, I think the top-level human-level technique he practices seems to have reached the highest level. I'm afraid he can even fight against the inner disciples who have switched to practicing earth-level techniques."

"He is really abnormal. He has just entered the Condensation Realm and he can practice martial arts to this level. No wonder he is called the number one genius in the outer sect."

The disciples who took part in the test were talking about it, and all their eyes were focused on Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan's face was calm. For him, he would definitely need to go out and gain experience in the future, but before that, the stronger the talent he showed, the better.

Only in this way can you gain the sect's attention and obtain more resources.

Taoist Hei Ya was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, "Passed."

After everyone had finished the test, those disciples who failed were asked to leave.

Behind the examination hall.

This is an open-air arena, about a hundred feet square, with a circular arena in the center with a diameter of twenty feet. On the rock walls at the edge are stone doors, inside which are imprisoned various monsters used by the Feitian Demon Sect to test their disciples.

"The last test is to fight with monsters. If you can hold on for one stick of incense, you will pass it successfully." Taoist Black Crow said to the qualified disciples.

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and one of the stone doors on the rock wall of the arena opened automatically.

Ouch!

With a terrifying roar that reached the sky and gusts of cold wind, a demon wolf the size of a buffalo appeared in the center of the arena. It had a slender and strong body, no hair on its body, but was covered with black scales. Its tail was a long scorpion tail with a hook at the end that flashed a gray light and was obviously poisonous. Anyone who was bitten by it would surely die.

However, intimidated by the intimidation of Taoist Black Crow, he stopped moving after coming out. He just crawled on the ground, and frantically scanned the disciples of the Feitian Demon Sect who were taking the assessment with bloodthirsty eyes.

"The third-level demon beast overlord, the Scorpion-tailed Demon Wolf!" The disciple next to Lin Yang turned pale, and the faces of the others were all unhappy. Even the disciple in the middle stage of the Condensation Realm had a solemn expression.

If the opponent was an ordinary warrior in the middle stage of the Condensation Realm, they would not be afraid.

After all, a genius can always fight above his level.

But it is different with monsters. Compared with human warriors, monsters are naturally strong and have fierce auras. At the same level, monsters are undoubtedly stronger than human warriors.

Especially a third-level demon beast overlord like the Scorpion-tailed Demon Wolf.

Even a warrior at the peak of the middle stage of the Condensation Realm would have to retreat.
