The strongest patriarch

Chu Yang didn't know that he had such a high evaluation in Chu Tao's heart. At this time, when he looked at the legendary figure who was often circulated in the clan opposite him, he also felt that Chu Tao was not simple. Chu Yang clearly noticed that Chu Tao's cultivation had reached the edge of the second heaven, and he probably only needed a realization, an opportunity to break through the bottleneck.

"As expected of a genius of our Chu clan, he has the strength to break through the second heaven so quickly," Chu Yang clearly remembered when Chu Xuruo talked to him about Chu Tao, who was only in the late first heaven at that time. Strength, in less than half a year now, he has successfully broken through from the late stage of the first layer to the peak of the first layer, and is only one step away from the second layer. This kind of cultivation speed is indeed amazing.

Just when Chu Yang and Chu Tao were feeling each other's strength, in the assessment arena, people finally came out of the tunnel one after another. These contestants roared loudly as soon as they walked out of the tunnel to vent their excitement. The distressed appearance on his body was indeed severely tested when he passed the puppet formation.

As the contestants continued to step out, the scorching sun had also slowly fallen from the sky, gradually sinking into the mountain peak, and there was less than half an hour left before the end of the assessment.

The spectators in the stands were also staring nervously at the assessment screen at this time, worried about the contestants who were still participating in the assessment.

Deacon Huang looked up at the sky, and then looked down at the list in his hand that had successfully passed the assessment. He found that among the five hundred contestants, only 80 had completed the assessment so far, which was still short of the [-] places. So many.

If the top [-] places cannot be collected within the stipulated time, Deacon Huang will have no choice but to select the best ones who have not passed the assessment and add them to the promotion places. Of course, this is the worst plan. Not yet, everything is unknown.

"Dang," when the sun was completely submerged in the mountain peak, and the bell in Deacon Huang's hand rang, the second round of assessment was finally over.

The black iron puppets in the tunnel finally stopped their tireless figure, and stopped attacking the contestants frantically. Looking at the black iron puppets that stopped around them one by one, the contestants did not feel any luck or surprise, and some were just deeply moved. deep loss.

The black iron golems stopped attacking them, which meant that they had lost their qualifications for promotion.

After ten years of waiting and ten years of hard work, they still couldn't make it to the end. Such a blow made them unable to bear it for a while.

Elder Liu clearly saw the lingering disappointment on their faces, and then laughed loudly: "Little guys, don't feel discouraged, one failure is nothing, as long as you go back and seriously experience what this assessment has brought you. Harvest, work hard and persevere in cultivation, I believe that you will soon be able to get out of the shadow of failure, and you will definitely be able to pass the assessment next time."

Elder Liu's words infected many contestants present. Some contestants who were still young and had a chance to participate in the Spiritual Pond Competition immediately mustered up their courage and prepared to come back to participate in the Spiritual Pond Competition in ten years' time.

As for the older contestants, they knew that they would no longer be able to participate in the next Lingchi competition, but Elder Liu still gave them great instructions. Although they did not pass the assessment this time, during the assessment process Everything they have experienced has faintly improved their quality in all aspects.

This kind of improvement is unattainable, and only a powerful sect like Fuzong can build such a rare thing as a puppet formation, allowing them to improve themselves in the puppet formation.

Elder Liu looked at those failed players who were relieved by his words, and immediately showed a gratified smile, and then said loudly again: "Of course, I also want to congratulate the [-] players who have successfully advanced this time. The qualification for the knockout round held by Jianfeng,"

As soon as Elder Liu's words fell, the hundreds of contestants including Chu Yang who had successfully advanced showed excited smiles, and successfully won a place in the knockout round, which was another step closer to their goal.

They seem to have seen Lingchi Baodi waving to them.

After the results of the second round of assessment came out, those contestants who lost their promotion qualifications left one after another sadly, leaving the sad place of Fu Zong, while the contestants like Chu Yang who successfully advanced were nervously preparing for the knockout round to be held the day after tomorrow.

It was late at night and everything was quiet. In the room, Chu Pojun carefully looked at the list in his hand. After a long while, he raised his head and handed the list to Chu Yang next to him.

"Yang'er, the list for the knockout round came out the day after tomorrow. You were placed in the upper half, while nephew Chu Taoxian was placed in the lower half. With Yang'er's strength, uncle is very relieved, although the first half There are also many powerful opponents in the district, but they should not cause you too much trouble, but..." At this point, Chu Pojun paused, and turned to look at Chu Tao: "Nephew, where are you? This time, there are quite a few young and strong men from various major forces gathered in the half area, among them are the descendants of the Dugu family, the sworn enemy of our clan, Dugu Yiren, Gao Shan from the Excalibur sect, and some genius disciples from the hermit sect. His strength cannot be underestimated.”

"Uncle, don't worry, my nephew will do his best not to insult the clan's name," Chu Tao said calmly.

"Of course I believe in your strength, but such an important competition as the Spirit Pool Competition, you must not be careless. Therefore, I have a treasure that I would like to lend you for a while," Chu Pojun said slowly.

Treasure, what treasure.

Hearing this, Chu Yang and Chu Tao looked at each other with confusion, but they were still eager to see what the treasure Chu Pojun was talking about.

"Hehe, this treasure is not simple. Your uncle and I also made countless military exploits for the clan, so we got it from within the clan," Chu Pojun chuckled, with a mysterious light shining in his eyes.

"It's so rare." Hearing what Chu Pojun said, Chu Yang became even more curious about what kind of treasure deserves Chu Pojun's praise.

"Uncle Pojun, don't be a fool, Guo'er really wants to see your treasures, Uncle." Guo'er's eyes flickered, looking at Chu Pojun also full of curiosity and longing.

"Hehe, we can't even wait for our little Guoer," Chu Pojun lovingly touched Guoer's little head, and then slowly groped on the ring.

All he saw was that a pitch-black, simple and unadorned spear appeared in his hand in an instant.
