Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 847 Above Nine Heavens, Tiangong Gate!

The much-anticipated Tiangongmen Examination has finally arrived amidst heated discussions.

In the center of Tiansheng Kingdom, there is a huge square. At this time, there is a magnificent building standing in the square.

Countless candidates gathered here, black and dense, like a group of moving ants.The grim atmosphere is also coming in this obvious "reference army".

Here is the place where the assessment will be held soon, the "underground hall" of Tiangong Gate.

What is even more shocking is that far away in the Nine Heavens, hidden by clouds, a palace looms in the mist, a round sun hangs on the side, and the twilight of dawn slant down, covering the palace in layers of golden brilliance. Dreamland.

This temple above the layer of clouds is the main hall of Tiangongmen, the "Tiandian", and the disciples who pass the assessment will be taken into the temple to practice as full-fledged members of Tiangongmen.And the "underground hall", although it is also luxurious and rich, is just a projection space left below for the convenience of assessment.

Looking at the lofty heavenly palace, how could it not make one's blood boil, one step into it, as if he was already in the fairy class.Who doesn't want to enter it to cultivate, who doesn't want to be the best among their peers, who doesn't want to strive for the top in the whole plane, and leave a name in history?
And all of this depends on the assessment they are about to participate in.

Further, it will become a cloud and turn into a dragon, and the eagle will strike the sky, overlooking the mountains and rivers for thousands of miles!
Tianxiao Pavilion, Jiuyou Hall, and Tiansheng Academy, all candidates on the recommendation list are waiting in the underground hall at this time.And the winding dragons outside are all candidates for "passerby status".

Inside and outside the hall, it is no different from two heavens.Candidates in the hall not only have a comfortable environment, but also have a high probability of being selected.As for the crowd outside the hall, while enduring the scorching sun, they were still uncertain about whether they could pass the examination.

Ye Shuo was also in the waiting queue.Standing indifferently with arms folded.

During this period of special training for himself, his strength has taken another big step forward. He is confident that he will never be inferior to those so-called "Heaven's Chosen Ones".If this is a fair assessment, then he is not afraid of any challenges.

Before coming here, he also made a special trip to Tianji Country, where he completed his mission at the Mercenary Union.

For the Qianji Jue left to him by Zhuge Yupo back then, he needed to find various unique materials in order to perfectly arouse the power of the formation.It was too slow to search around alone. To save time, he specially issued a task to collect the required materials.

Although what Feng Yu handed over to him in the end was still only a part of it, Ye Shuo was also a contented person.Those materials are all kinds of strange, and it is not easy to find them completely. With these added materials, it is enough for him to arrange a few more formations, and that is enough!

However, although he was confident, Ye Shuo was still surprised when he saw the lineup of candidates.

According to the data he has learned, the total number of people referred to each time is almost hundreds of millions.In the end, only 1000 people were successfully selected.

Don't underestimate this number, if it is based on proportion, it means that only one person can enter every 10 people!It was simply an extremely bloody fight!

Those who can stand out must be the real leaders!

Time has quietly passed for several hours while waiting.In the crowd, a lot of noisy discussions could also be heard.

"I have been practicing for several months, this time I must enter the Tiangong Gate!" This is full of energy and determination.

"Brother, you were also a member of the Hongjia training institution back then, right? No wonder you look familiar! I'm from Class [-] and you?" This is someone who recognizes relatives everywhere.

These were considered good, and some people fought directly in the open space in order to reduce their opponents before the exam.There were really some people who had their heads broken early and could only leave the stage with hatred.

Although Ye Shuo felt sorry for these unlucky candidates, he had no intention of stopping them.Obviously, their strength is really poor, and they are not qualified to enter the Tiangong Gate at all.It's better to leave early here than to meet those top experts in the assessment, get beaten completely, and damage the heart.

Among the passers-by, the strength of his third level of Qi Transformation—successful breakthrough just before the assessment—is already considered a first-class echelon.Ye Shuo intentionally released the spiritual pressure, and no one dared to provoke it, so he avoided a lot of trouble.

"Hey, Brother Ye, is it really you?" Just as Ye Shuo was about to turn into a fossil, a surprise call suddenly sounded from beside him.

"You are?" Ye Shuo turned his head, looked at the handsome young man in front of him, and couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

Through the other party's unruly smiling face, he can still vaguely judge that the other party's strength... I'm afraid it's not inferior to his own!
During the passerby assessment...it really is a hidden dragon and crouching tiger...but who is he?Why do you know your own name?

Seeing his dull face, the young man anxiously pointed his finger at the tip of his nose: "Me! Ren Jianfei! Don't you know me?"

Ye Shuo was still at a loss, Ren Jianfei was full of helplessness, and blurted out: "You forgot, when you were hunted down by Xueyuntang, I helped you erase the tracking brand in your body!"

This sudden loud voice also attracted the attention of many candidates.

What he said, Ye Shuo remembered it.At the beginning, the two were considered to be helping each other. He "run away from home" and still had his own share.

Thinking of this, Ye Shuo quickly put on a smile of "what a coincidence, what a coincidence", and exaggeratedly exclaimed, "Ah, it's you!"

"Didn't you say you won't take part in the assessment? Why are you still here?" After the two greeted each other, Ye Shuo asked curiously.

Hearing this, Ren Jianfei suddenly felt shy. For a free and easy young man like him, this expression was really rare.

"Actually, I withdrew from the primary election before, and I was planning to go directly to the mountains and rivers, but when I thought of my father..."

Playing with the broken hair that hangs down to his shoulders, Ren Jianfei couldn't help but glance at the sky, and muttered softly:

"My father has always loved swords like his life, but in order to open a door for me, he did not hesitate to give away a famous sword handed down from generation to generation! I always feel that if I turn around and leave like this, I am really sorry for my father, so... ..."

"That's good!" Who knows, Ye Shuo praised vigorously, "I want to play, I can go anytime, the main thing we do is to seek peace of mind!"

With his encouragement, a cheerful smile appeared on Ren Jianfei's face again.

"That's right, Brother Ye, this time we're going to enter the Tiangong Gate together!"

Ye Shuo smiled and punched him: "Definitely!"

"Hmph, you two are quite serious." A candidate who was in the queue nearby snorted, "Calm down as soon as possible, it's not bad if we can get one out of a hundred."

Although he could feel the strength of these two people, no matter how strong they are, they are still passers-by. There is no recommendation quota, so how can it be so easy to compete with those young masters and ladies?

Ye Shuo and Ren Jianfei looked at each other, smiled and said nothing.They have no intention of refuting these provocations, that is because they are confident enough that one of them will definitely be selected!
Talking and laughing with Ren Jianfei, the boring waiting didn't seem so difficult anymore.

After so long, Ye Shuo suddenly heard a woman's call from the crowd not far away.

"Oh, it's so hot! My skin is getting sunburned!"

Looking from a distance, a young girl is looking up, wearing a blue suspender jumpsuit, a white sports cap, and a cute big rabbit backpack on her back.It was clearly dressed energetically, but the girl covered her forehead with one hand at this time, pursed her lips in aggrieved light, and the ponytails on both sides seemed to be wilted, hanging limply on her shoulders.This tired breath seemed to be contagious, and beside her, there were also many people who were frowning and sighing.

If it was just a squeamish girl, it wouldn't attract Ye Shuo's attention, but what made his eyes flash with ridicule was that he had already recognized the other party's identity——

"Hey!" When the girl started to sigh again, Ye Shuo pulled Ren Jianfei, rushed through the crowd, and slapped her hard on the shoulder.

The girl frowned and turned her head, her face was as blank as Ye Shuo's before.

"You don't remember me?" Ye Shuo smiled lightly, raised his hand and flicked her forehead, "Little crybaby!"

This impolite action made the girl clutch her forehead, and she was about to get angry on the spot, but when she heard the familiar address, she blinked, and her eyes slowly melted into a daze——

This girl is Qiao Xiying. Back then, Qianyuanzong cooperated with the mercenary union to carry out the task of picking the ancient red flame fruit. He has a good face.Even Ye Shuo's companion, Xu Yuan, was swallowed by an ancient tree because she concealed key information. The two of them can be said to have "new enmity and old enmity".

But inside the ancient tree, when Lu Hongyu was in danger and no one came to rescue her, she had no choice but to cry on the spot, but it was Ye Shuo who took the initiative to save Lu Hongyu regardless of the past.

At that time, Qiao Xiying felt an inexplicable sense of security when she heard him say "little crybaby".This title has taken root in my memory——

"It's you! That bastard!" Qiao Xiying screamed.I haven't seen you for three years. This annoying ghost has grown taller and matured, but... he has become even more annoying!

"Brother Ye, so you know such a cute girl!" Ren Jianfei was curiously poking around, "Introduce me too?"

Ye Shuo smiled, and said cooperatively, "Oh, she's from Qianyuanzong, so you can just call her Little Crying Ghost."

Qiao Xiying stomped her feet anxiously: "You are not allowed to scream! I am no longer a crybaby!"

Ever since Ye Shuo took that nickname three years ago, Qiao Xiying also began to realize that it's useless to act like a baby when things go wrong.Although she is habitually dependent on others, and the seniors are willing to let her depend on them, after all, she cannot depend on others for the rest of her life.

Therefore, after that, when she encounters difficulties again, she will try to solve them by herself instead of crying like a baby.She finally got rid of her "little crybaby" style, and she also thought that if she saw that annoying ghost again, she must let him see the change in herself!
"It's not a crybaby, it's also a squeamish one." Ye Shuo didn't cheer at all, "Do you think there is anyone else like you who argues about getting sunburned after basking in the sun?"

Facing this girl, he just likes to tease her, and likes to see her go crazy with his anger.Maybe, it's because of her savagery, she resembles Dingsha back then...

"By the way, why do people from Qianyuanzong walk through the passage?" Ren Jianfei changed the subject in time, "Don't you have a recommendation quota?"

After hearing this, Qiao Xiying immediately became proud again: "I'm here to be a little cheerleader for Senior Brother Gucheng! Cheering first, assessment second!"

Ye Shuo smiled and said, "Don't look at her nice words, but she is actually too weak to get the quota."

"Who said that?" Qiao Xiying raised her head to the sky, "I'm the president of the Gucheng Senior Brother's support club!" She raised her hand and tapped Ren Jianfei's chest, "Hey, if you turn your back on the dark and turn to the bright as soon as possible, I can also let you join the club! "

"Mo Gucheng? Is that the famous genius of Qianyuanzong?" Ren Jianfei smiled lightly, with a rare trace of fighting spirit in his eyes, "Interesting, I really want to learn from him."

"It's not a sparring!" Qiao Xiying stood on tiptoe, nodding his head repeatedly, with a high air, "It's you who want to ask Brother Gucheng for advice! Do you understand the advice?"

The three of them made a fuss, having fun, and just like that, several hours passed.

"Do you accept queue jumping here?"

A slender hand rested on Ye Shuo's shoulder, and there was a trace of teasing in his haughty voice.

Ye Shuo couldn't understand these people who love to take advantage the most, and turned around solemnly: "Sorry..."

Before he finished speaking, he stared at the young girl in front of him, and suddenly froze.

Shen Antong, I haven't seen her for several months, she has become much more beautiful.The make-up was obviously done carefully, the hair was a little longer, and a small braid was combed on the side, the length was only up to the ears, and it was softly attached to the hair.

Fashionable air bangs, brows and eyes are faintly visible, refreshing and lovely.The ends of the hair draped over the shoulders were delicately permed with pear blossoms, adding a bit of ladylike air to the freshness.

Wearing a polka-dot beige shirt, a cool pleated skirt, a pair of knee-length socks, and black high leather boots, the whole person looks both girlish and handsome.

"An Tong?!" Ye Shuo looked straight at him.He didn't expect that this little witch could become so beautiful after dressing up seriously!If this goes to Zhiyuan College, it will be a proper flower!

Beside her, the petite Li Yue rolled her big eyes, looked at the two of them back and forth, and said with a drawn out laugh:
"Hey, Ye Bailian? You said you don't like her, but seeing our bright family, your eyes are shining!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Ye Shuo blushed for no reason, "It's been a long time since everyone, am I happy?"

Li Yue smiled mischievously: "Who would believe it! Then we haven't seen each other for a long time, why are your eyes only fixed on Tongtong?"

At this time, Qiao Xiying and Ren Jianfei also looked over curiously, their eyes twinkling with gossip.
