One person, one sword, I have guarded the lonely city for 70 years

Song Yun didn't bother to break up with him, so he threw out a few taels of silver and pointed at the family of three who were leaving crying.

"Ask something."

Seeing that the visitor was generous, the thin young man's eyes lit up, and his smile became even wider:

"Brother, feel free to ask any questions. I know the qualification test process very well, and I am also very clear about which links can be tricked."

Song Yun just asked: "These test results are poor, why do they react so strongly? None of them have a normal face."

"Even if you don't practice martial arts, wouldn't it be good to do other jobs in this peaceful and prosperous world?"

The thin young man listened, his expression became strange, and he looked Song Yun up and down.

"Dare to ask, where is Xiongtai from?"

Song Yun chuckled, "I'm a hermit, I just came out of the mountains, and I don't know much about the outside world."

"A hermit?" The thin young man obviously didn't believe it, but for Yin Zi's sake, he opened his mouth and said:

"Our Supreme Emperor His Majesty implements the 'Nine-Rank Qualification Law' throughout the country, do you know this?"

Song Yun nodded, and the test was divided into grades A, B, C and Nine. He had heard about this in the crowd just now.

The skinny young man continued: "In today's world, strength is still the most important thing. Only people with strength can occupy high positions. Even civil servants must have a certain level of cultivation."

"And those who have no strength, do business, work and farm, will still be inferior people for the rest of their lives."

"Since this is the case, one billion people in the world want to practice, how fierce is the competition?"

"Cultivation resources are also limited. If one billion people share it, no one will be able to share much in the end."

"That's why His Majesty the Supreme Emperor promulgated the 'Nine-Rank Qualification Law', stipulating that only those who have qualified qualifications can practice. In this way, [-]% of the people will be eliminated, and the pressure on cultivation resources will be greatly relieved."

"Therefore, aptitude testing is a major event that determines your life. Whether you are a master or an ordinary person depends on which of the nine ranks you are in."

"If a grade C is detected, this life will be over. Who can be in a good mood?"

Song Yun nodded, "I see."

The Nine-Rank Qualification Law is indeed an efficient policy, suitable for a peaceful age with a large population, and cultivating as many elites as possible with limited resources.

But its flaws are also obvious.

Song Yun looked at the people who left with mournful faces, most of them were plainly dressed, he couldn't help sighing:
"Aptitude is a matter of fate. If it is a descendant of a warrior, the body is generally not bad, and if it is carefully nursed since childhood, the aptitude must be higher than that of ordinary people."

"That's right, that's the reason!" The skinny young man patted his thigh, "Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix, and the son of a mouse can make holes. Once the Ninth Grade Aptitude Law comes out, the chances for ordinary people will become less and less. -"

Halfway through the speech, the thin young man suddenly shut up, looked at Song Yun vigilantly, and changed his words:
"His Majesty the Supreme Emperor is wise and mighty, and I have no opinion on his old man's policies."

"Could you be trying to trick me on purpose? Could it be that you are a South Sea demon cultivator, trying to do something wrong?"

"South Sea Demon Cultivator?" Song Yun suddenly became interested, and threw out two more ingots of silver, "What is South Sea Demon Cultivator, please explain carefully."

Although the skinny young man is vigilant, the temptation of money is really not small.

He looked around and found that no one was paying attention here, so he whispered in Song Yun's ear:

"The South China Sea Demon Cultivators are a group of thieves whose nest is in the South China Sea. They pay attention to 'natural selection', oppose the Ninth Grade Qualification Law, and often cause trouble in the Central Plains. They are the most wanted criminals in the eyes of the government!"

"There are people like this?" Song Yun blinked his eyes, his curiosity grew stronger, "Since the government wanted them, how could they come to the Central Plains?"

"Pretend, disguise." The skinny young man said, "These people have great powers, and they can do all kinds of heresy. They pretend to be ordinary people and lurk in. How can the government find out?"

"Usually they hide well, but if they do it suddenly, they will run away after the move. Many famous demon cultivators have committed countless serious crimes. So far, the government has nothing to do with them."

After the skinny young man finished speaking, he shrank his neck in fear, "Just listen to this matter, don't spread it, let alone tell people that I told you, otherwise the government will arrest people for questioning!"

"What are you afraid of?" Song Yun stared at him in surprise, "Could it be that you are the South Sea demon cultivator lurking in?"

"You—" The skinny young man suddenly raised his head, meeting Song Yun's eyes.

Seeing the other party's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, the thin young man's pupils trembled.

The next moment, his aura changed.

As an ordinary person who doesn't know martial arts, the aura of the thin young man was originally very loose, but at this moment it became stronger and weaker, quite strange.

The loose skin on his arms also became as tight as cowhide, the muscles kept vibrating, and the veins bulged.

With the cover of his sleeve, he secretly slapped out a palm, hitting Song Yun's lower abdomen dantian directly.

Although he encountered an accident, the skinny young man didn't panic. This move "Sealing Qi Ghost Palm" is his unique skill. Once it hits, the target will freeze in place, the whole body's breath will be sealed, and there will be no abnormalities.

After standing in place for a while, the target will lose its breath and fall down, and it will appear as a sudden heart attack, and ordinary warriors can't see the problem at all.

By that time, he would have slipped away long ago.

Puff, with a soft sound, the thin young man's right palm hit Song Yun's dantian smoothly, and he pressed again lightly.

"Damn it, I gave you a fright just now." He snorted coldly, stared at Song Yun and whispered:
"Boy, there is a limit to pretending to be stupid. You have to spend money to ask even a little common sense. Who can you fool? I already knew you had a problem!"

As he spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller, and his tone even trembled slightly.

Because the other party showed no signs of being hit by the "Ghost Sealing Qi Palm", his face was still rosy, his breathing was steady, and he was staring at him with a smile.

The thin young man subconsciously wanted to withdraw his right hand, but he was horrified to find that his wrist was caught at some point!

"Don't go." Song Yun said with a smile, "I haven't finished asking my questions yet."

The skinny young man took a step back and tried his best to pull out his right hand.

However, his hand seemed to be firmly suppressed by a mountain, and he couldn't move at all.

"You, who are you? If you are our enemy, do you know what will happen?" The skinny young man stared at Song Yun and said.

While speaking, he touched the back with his left hand, picked up a thin black blade with his fingers, and flicked it to the opposite abdomen.

The blade shot out successfully.

The skinny young man just breathed a sigh of relief, but he saw Song Yun's expression was normal, and he was still asking:

"Are you really the South Sea demon cultivator? Then tell me more, what do you want to do in Anxi?"

"Don't worry, I'm not from the government, I'm just curious, just ask."

"...I believe you are a ghost." The thin young man smiled miserably, knowing that the strength of this white-clothed man was far above him, and he probably couldn't beat him.

Click, he twisted his right wrist violently, turned it a full circle, directly twisted the wrist bone, and completely severed his right hand!

The bloody right arm was finally pulled out.

The thin young man's expression remained unchanged, he turned around and ran into the crowd.
