Super Hero Monk: Hormones Journey to the West

Chapter 211 The Inside Story?

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaoke shook her head repeatedly:

"No way, I can't control my strength. What if I accidentally kill you?"

Ah this?

Is this an insult to me?
Tang Xuanci was both annoyed and amused, and urged:
"Don't you still want to take the exam? Then hurry up and hit me, use all your strength. I'll just stand still, and if you can knock me back ten meters, you can continue taking the exam."

"But~"

"hurry up!"

"Okay then, I'll be gentler."

Still not reassured, Chen Xiaoke took Tang Xuanci's hand and tried to get him into a stance with his arms crossed to block.

But Tang Xuanci was naturally unwilling to do such a foolish thing.

Chen Xiaoke had no choice but to retreat, getting further and further away, until she was more than a hundred meters away and almost bumped into another monster examinee before she stopped.

After standing still, she took a deep breath, slightly lowered her body, made the "Abhaya Mudra" with her right hand, and shouted:
"Gege, you must be careful, don't get hurt!"

Her shout attracted the attention of all the candidates around her, and they all turned to look at her with puzzled expressions.

"Great—Mighty—Heaven—"

With each word a delicate shout, her monk's robe billowed slightly, and the five fingers of her right hand bent into different arcs, changing the "Abhaya Mudra" into the "Dragon Claw Mudra," which she then thrust forward with a sudden force!

"--dragon!!!"

A burst of hot air shot out from her palm, creating a strong gust of wind that rushed towards Tang Xuanci, causing his Taoist robe to flutter wildly.

And then... no more.

The entire audience was stunned, as if a few awkward crows had flown overhead.

Tang Xuanci was speechless, thinking to himself, "What kind of 'little weakling' is this? Even Tony the hairdresser complains that the power isn't strong enough!"

Chen Xiaoke panicked, jumping up and down and shouting, "Oops, I messed up, I didn't get it right! Don't worry, Gege, I'll try again!"

Having said that, she straightened her stance and struck again:

"Great—Mighty—Heaven—Dragon!!"

After another gust of wind, the candidates could no longer contain themselves and burst into laughter.

Among them, Red Boy's voice was the loudest:
"Hahahaha, what is she doing? Is she an idiot? This is hilarious!"

Some female immortals and demons also sneered:

"Is this little nun from the Pure Land Sect? She doesn't seem very bright. How did she pass the Thunderclap Trial?"

"So he's a fool. Even the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon can't use such a rudimentary technique."

"She's just average-looking, so why would Tang Sanzang fall for her?"

Among them was Princess Wansheng. She, Chiyao, and the handsome prince consort all passed the Thunder Sound Trial.

Even with his thick skin, Tang Xuanci felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing that the fool wanted to try again, he frowned and immediately went over to stop her, telling her not to go on stage and to forfeit her right away, but just participate in the essay discussion.

After all, cultivation level is cultivation level, and combat strength is combat strength.

According to the formula in the beaker: Combat Power = Base Combat Power × Experience Bonus × ****** Treasure Enhancement.

Even if a celestial being has a base combat power of 10, but an experience bonus of only "0.1", they are likely to be instantly killed if they encounter a Nascent Soul cultivator who can break through their defenses.

Very scientific.

Chen Xiaoke, with a mournful face, still refused to give up and explained:

"I was too nervous because I was afraid of hurting you, so I couldn't use my skills. Just let me fight them. I definitely won't get many points in the essay section, and if I only get fifty points in the martial arts test, I won't be able to become the City God."

Tang Xuanci said unhappily:
"You couldn't do it in the first place. Did you expect to get a perfect score first and beat me down too?"

"Stop messing around. I have to become the City God of Wuji Kingdom. I don't have time to deal with you right now."

"If you don't behave, I'm leaving you, you hear me?"

Hearing that Gege didn't want her anymore, Chen Xiaoke was shocked and could only obediently nod in agreement.

Tang Xuanci then patted her little head, feeling secretly satisfied. After all, although she had risen to the top in one step, she was still in her own shape.

A short while later, the 117 candidates who had passed the trial gathered again below the jade steps.

The other test takers and onlookers didn't leave either, and gathered around the back.

Suddenly, clouds surged within the celestial palace's archway, and several celestial officials emerged riding auspicious clouds. Leading them was an old man with a flowing white beard, holding a whisk, exuding an air of otherworldly wisdom. Upon seeing him, the examiners bowed and moved to the sides, making way for the central position.

Some people in the crowd recognized him:

That's Venus.

"Why did he personally come out to preside over the exam? Is it because of the chaos in Xiniu Hezhou that the Heavenly Court is taking this continental exam very seriously?"

"No, I think it's because Tang Xuanci appeared."

This is the Western Golden Virtue Venus Star Lord?
Tang Xuanci had heard his three disciples talk about him.

Knowing that this old man's position in the Dou Department was second only to the top leader, "Doumu Yuanjun," and that he was one of the Nine Luminaries Star Lords, equivalent to the deputy director of the Mother Star Organization, in charge of the appointment and transfer of celestial beings in Xiniu Hezhou.

Moreover, his power was greater than that of the other eight star lords, because he was primarily responsible for the "pacification" work across the four continents.

Back then, it was this old man who personally brought the monkey to the Heavenly Court and appointed him as the Protector of the Horses and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

Tang Xuanci looked at him.

Venus casually glanced over, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, then flicked his whisk and began to speak in Mandarin.

At this moment, a team of heavenly soldiers worked together to bring over an enormous, completely transparent hollow sphere, which they then suspended high in the air.

Then, in front of everyone, 117 small silver balls, each bearing the candidate's name, were placed into the giant ball through its only opening.

Upon seeing this highly "fair, just, and transparent" lottery method, Tang Xuanci immediately thought of the lottery machine on his home planet and thought to himself:

"Damn, this thing can't be controlled by humans, right? In the end, those with powerful connections will beat up the noobs, while those without connections will all be assigned to the death group as stepping stones..."

After Venus finished his rambling with a smile, a Star Official from the Dipper Department began to explain the rules for the Martial Arts Test lottery.

简单来说，就是按“银色球”摇出来的顺序编号，再依照“1——128”“2——127”……“n——(129-n)”的规律进行两两对决。

There are seven rounds of elimination matches to determine the first place winner, and then scores are calculated based on the level of each candidate's advancement.

With only 117 candidates remaining, those who drew positions 1-11 will temporarily have no competitors.

However, in order to be more fair and to avoid a situation where strong opponents clash at the beginning, which could lead to the loss of talented individuals.

Therefore, candidates who competed in the first round can choose not to play, with the consent of both parties, and will be randomly assigned to another spot to compete against a new opponent.

In this way, if "Guan Yu" were to meet "Qin Qiong" and neither side had a chance of winning, and then they saw that all the empty seats were occupied by "General Lingling", they could choose to redistribute the seats and achieve better results.

Of course, you only get one chance, and the opponent has to agree.

Soon, Raibutsu Tenjin inspected the lottery device.

Under their close supervision, the "silver balls" shook, and one by one they fell from the small holes, arranged in order and suspended in mid-air, displaying the candidates' names "fairly, justly and openly" to everyone.

Chen Xiaoke, like a little megaphone, was always startled and kept talking:

"Number Five, Nine Insects (Erosion), that's a strange name, who is it?"

"It's my ball! I'm number ten. Pigeon, if no one else gets 110...8, then I can get points without even playing!"

"Zhang... what spirit? How do you pronounce that character?"

Suddenly, a commotion erupted from the crowd behind them.

Chen Xiaoke also exclaimed in surprise, pointing to a silver ball that had just been shaken out and saying:
"Gege, is that you? What number is this?"

"Forty-seven," Tang Xuanci said. "Then my opponent is... number eighty-two."

"Who could be number eighty-two? Hopefully it's a woman. I'll count for you."

Chen Xiaoke stopped saying names and started focusing on counting.

Tang Xuanci was also waiting to see who his opponent would be.
"Eighty...Eighty-one, the next one is eighty-two!" Chen Xiaoke was extremely nervous, feeling her heart jump into her throat.

Finally, the eighty-second silver ball fell out.

In an instant, the crowd seemed to explode, erupting in uproar.

Tang Xuanci's pupils contracted, and he cursed inwardly:

"I bought a watch last year!"

"If there's no shady dealing involved, I'd eat all these balls!"
"Grass!"

On the ball, three characters were clearly written in vermilion lacquer—

Niu Huoyun.
