A mob of clones

Chapter 691 Kuiba Wuhe: Fifty steps is the limit of the assessment, not my limit

"Li Qiankun, Gu Qi, third stage..."

Listening carefully to the distant voice from his memory, Otto Wuhe shook his head and patted his head.

"It's so powerful. How come you can get to the Douqi Continent in no time?"

Seeing that Ultra Wuhe suddenly raised his head and made a very strange posture while receiving the memory, a big question mark appeared on Kuiba Wuhe's forehead.

"what happened?"

In response to this, Otto Wuhe smiled awkwardly. There was nothing wrong with the memory that Kuiba Wuhe gave him. It was just that he suddenly saw that scene in his memory, and for a moment he had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu and hallucinations.

This was obviously his own problem. Otto Wuhe naturally wouldn't try to self-destruct, so he quickly shook his head.

"Nothing, there were some random things in my mind, and I accidentally saw it wrong."

Hearing this, Kuiba Wuhe did not ask any more questions, but shook his head and did not care too much.

Otto Wuhe immersed his consciousness into that memory and experienced it from a first-person perspective.

……

Gu world, Lijiazhai...

The morning sun rises and the sky is full of bright sunshine.

The fog in the mountains was thick, but the arrow-like sunlight in the sky was even stronger.

The bright golden sunlight pierced through like sharp blades, and the silky mist shone on the earth below and on the crowd slowly moving forward below.

However, under the sunshine, not all young people are in their prime and full of vigor and vitality.

There were also many people with dark circles under their eyes and looking listless, and it was obvious that they had not slept well the night before due to the tension.

However, Li Qiankun, who was transformed by Kuiba Wuhe, is obviously not among them.

Li Qiankun, Kuiba Wuhe's most important clone in the Gu world, is not very famous in the entire Li family.

Kuiba Wuhe's situation was completely different from Fang Yuan's.

He has enough strength to protect himself, so he naturally does not need a prominent reputation to ensure that his life is not threatened.

However, he is not very famous, but his two clones are quite famous in the group.

Just by showing up, the young people present, some with confident faces, some with sad faces, showed expressions of surprise, and made way for Kuiba, Wuhe and the other two to pass.

At the same time, rustling sounds continued to be heard from all around.

"Look, it's the two elders."

"I heard that both of the elders have been promoted to the fourth level, and their strength is second only to the clan leader."

"Yes, I heard that too. Besides, the two elders are a pair of father and son who work closely together. If they work together, even the clan leader may not be their opponent."

Most of the discussions around were directed at the two clones of Kuiba Wuhe, Li Huateng and Li Feile.

Kuiba Wuhe wanted to ensure that his main clone had the resources to quickly build up his cultivation level when he was able to practice.

These two clones are very active in the group.

He even became famous throughout southern Xinjiang.

As a result, Lijiazhai, which was originally just an ordinary force in southern Xinjiang, has gained a more or less unique reputation.

Although it is not as big as the Tie family and the Shang family, it has a somewhat unique status in the surrounding areas.

In Lijiazhai, a place where family heroes are celebrated every year, it goes without saying that such a contribution will bring you a great reputation.

Of course, since it is the majority, there are naturally a small number of people who talk about different topics, for example.

"Look, that's Li Qiankun who was adopted by the two elders."

“Looks pretty ordinary.”

"He is indeed very ordinary. I have never heard of him having any great reputation over the years. Why was he adopted by the two family heads?"

"I heard that he is the son of a family hero a few years ago. His father once killed a Thousand Beast King..."

"So what if he was a family hero? My uncle was also a family hero. This guy just got lucky..."

"Just wait and see. Gu Masters still have to rely on their talent."

"Look at how proud he is. Ugh, he is just taking advantage of his master..."

"If I could be adopted by these two adults..."

……

The reputation of Kuiba Wuhe's main clone, Li Qiankun, is indeed not well-known, but the reputation of his other two clones is too great.

He also gained some traffic due to his profound and easy-to-understand articles.

But you don't need to listen to more, just listen to these few sentences and you will know that these people are just jealous.

Kuiba Wuhe didn't care when he heard someone scolding him. He just looked at the two clones beside him with a smile.

"Listen, they are envious of me."

The two clones also paid attention to this and glanced at the jealous young man with an inexplicable smile on their faces.

"It's okay. I'll help him after the talent test."

The interaction between Kuiba Wuhe and his two clones was very quiet, and no one around could hear clearly what they were saying.

But it still caused a commotion among many people around.

The rioting crowd was mostly women.

Many young women looked at the three people here with shining eyes and whispered to each other.

"I look forward to a harmonious family, with loving fathers and filial sons, and friendly brothers and respectful younger brothers."

"And that Li Qiankun seems pretty handsome too, maybe we can give him a try..."

When Kuiba Wuhe heard the commotion nearby, the three of them turned over and looked at each other, automatically filtering out the last sentence.

The three of them had an inexplicable expression on their faces, and they pointed at each other inconspicuously with their hands.

"Li Huateng" recalled the "heartfelt" scene and pointed at "Li Feile": "A loving father and a filial son?"

"Li Feile" recalled the scene when he was "confident" and pointed at "Li Qiankun": "Brothers are friendly and respectful?"

The three of them smiled at each other. If there weren't so many people present, they would have laughed out loud...

……

After all, the process of rushing on the road is just an interlude, and enlightenment is the right way.

Following a team of fifteen-year-old youths and led by a third-level elder, Kuiba Wuhe passed through a tunnel and came to a cave.

The main insect that Lijiazhai cultivates is the light insect, and the main path of inheritance is the light path.

But the place for enlightenment is still chosen in darkness.

It has nothing to do with the road.

In the Gu world, everyone needs a Hope Gu to awaken their minds. The Hope Gu group in Guyue Village is also raised in the dark.

It seems that a dark environment is a necessary condition for raising the Hope Gu, after all, hope is born in darkness.

Hope is very small, just a tiny insect like a firefly. Too much blazing light will cover up the brilliance of hope...

Just when Kuiba Wuhe was carefully looking at the difference between this natural Valley of Hope and the Hope Gu passed down from ancient poems that he had obtained from the outside world.

The old man who led everyone here finally spoke, speaking loudly to everyone present.

"The awakening ceremony has officially begun!"

"Gu Master qualifications are divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D. A is the best and D is the worst."

"As you go down, the pressure you will experience will increase. Your qualifications will be determined by the number of steps you take."

"Those with less than ten steps have no Gu Master qualifications; those with less than twenty steps have D-level qualifications; those with less than thirty steps are C-level; those with less than forty steps are B-level; and those with more than forty steps are A-level geniuses."

"The higher your talent, the more resources you will receive from the family in the future."

"As the master of the family said, this is the moment that determines your fate."

"Come forward!"

"The first one is Li Kun."

……

"It seems that young people are still full of vigor and vitality."

Looking at the young people below who are about to awaken their empty shells, they are either excited, nervous, confident, or terrified.

The boy's face was full of emotion. In the dark, in a secret place that no one could see, an old man sat in front of a table. He reached out to take a teacup in front of him, looked at another old man beside him and said:

"How can we old guys be like this? We look so lifeless all day long."

"There's nothing real on your face."

The old man opposite also smiled, reached out and picked up a teacup on the table and put it into his mouth. After taking a sip, he smiled and said:

"Patriarch, you are far from old."

"He has reached the peak of the fourth level before he is fifty."

"I can achieve the fifth level in the future. If I can obtain the longevity Gu, I can become a legendary Gu Immortal in the future. Why would I even mention the word old?"

That’s right, the old man sitting in the corner watching the awakening ceremony of the young generation of Lijiazhai is the head of Lijiazhai.

The man opposite him was Li Kang, a fourth-level beginner Gu Master from the same lineage as the patriarch.

This also proves that only the confidant of the head of the family can have an equal conversation with the head of the family who is high above the others in the family.

This was indeed the case in the family in the past, but in recent years, some problems have arisen in the family.

And this problem naturally belongs to Li Huateng and Li Feile.

For a family, the increase in strong people is naturally a good thing, but for factions within the family, it may not be the case.

There used to be three factions in Lijiazhai.

Ever since he came to power, his faction can be collectively referred to as the family head faction, which naturally dealt a crushing blow to the other two factions.

This was especially true after the confidant opposite him became a rank 4. The other two factions combined did not have a single rank 4, and the Gu world respected strength, so what could they use to fight against the family faction?

Of course, a situation like this where one family dominates the market is not necessarily a good thing for a family.

There are not so many enemies in the outside world that can be used to divert conflicts. If internal conflicts continue to accumulate and are not resolved, problems will always arise.

To this end, he supported some people from the other two factions, hoping to gradually balance the power within the family. By using small-scale and not-so-intense conflicts within the family, he could motivate the ambitions of each faction and enable the family to develop more advantageously.

After all, the head of the Li family feels that he is still young and has room for improvement in the future, so he is not in a hurry to find a successor. The so-called geniuses from other factions who want to catch up with him will probably have to wait until he is about to die of old age.

If the time comes, it is not impossible to pass on my position.

Among those who received support were Li Huateng and his son Li Feile.

But in the current situation, he has undoubtedly failed.

He had not expected that the father and son would progress so quickly, and that they had even surpassed him in pure strength.

His prestige in the clan is gradually rising, and there is a slight suspicion that he is "too successful to be a threat to the clan leader".

This is what makes the head of the Li family very distressed.

The father and son were improving so fast that Li Feile was about to surpass him, and he was still young...

"So this is why you, the Patriarch, attach so much importance to the recent enlightenment ceremonies?"

In response to the question raised by his confidant, the head of the Li family nodded and admitted it helplessly. He looked up at the young people below who were beginning to understand and were listening to the reports coming one after another, and sighed softly.

Originally, he didn't want to look for an heir so early.

After all, with his strength, if there is still a way to go in the future, living to eighty, ninety, or even a hundred years old will not be a problem.

How can a country have a forty-year-old prince?
But now it seems that I have to find it...

In order to balance the factional power within the family, he had turned a blind eye to the other two factions in the family recruiting talents in the past few years.

But now he doesn't care, it really doesn't work.

The imbalance of power is too serious...

"Li Kun, thirteen steps, D-level qualification, next one."

"Li Zhiyin, seventh step, no Gu Master qualifications, next."

"Li Chuang, twenty-three steps, C-level aptitude, next one..."

……

Listening to the evaluation results of those who were either D grade or C grade, or some who did not have any qualifications as Gu Masters, the head of the Li family could not help but take another sip of tea, with a bit of worry between his brows.

"Are all the young people this year so poorly qualified?"

"It's fine that there isn't even a single A-level talent, but are even B-level talents so rare?"

Looking at those young men who were struggling to walk forward and could only let in sparse golden fluorescence, the head of the Li family frowned, and it was obvious that he was not satisfied with the results before him.

Under the gaze of the head of the Li family, a young man in black clothes took a step towards the spiritual spring.

He seemed a little nervous. He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white and veins popped out at his temples from the force.

He tried to keep his steps steady and move forward as best he could.

The firefly-like Hope Gu senses the arrival of a person with hope, and the Hope Gu responds to this hope.

but--

"Too little..."

Tiny bits of hope merged into the boy's body like water and milk, but it was only tiny bits of hope that filled his heart.

After taking eleven steps, the young man in black felt the pressure suddenly increasing, as if there was an invisible wall in front of him, blocking his way.

"Li Xing, eleventh step, D-level qualification, next one..."

"Alas, with someone like me..."

The head of the Li family sighed deeply. Two-thirds of the awakening ceremony had passed, and more than half of the young people who were tested were below the D grade.

He wanted to find a successor among this group of young people and quickly train someone who could compete with Li Huateng and Li Feile. I'm afraid he would have to wait until next year.

Although training an heir was only a stopgap measure for him to balance the power within the family, it was impossible for the heir he trained to have such bad talent.

Even if it is not first-class, it must be pseudo first-class.

But these things in front of me...

"Ah~"

Just as the head of the Li family sighed helplessly and was about to stand up and leave the enlightenment ceremony, his confidant was also ready to speak to comfort him.

"Om-"

A buzzing sound suddenly sounded from nowhere, and the originally slightly noisy awakening ceremony was instantly replaced by silence.

This sudden change made the Li family members stunned.

He suddenly turned his head and refocused his gaze on the Awakening Ceremony below, then saw a figure slowly walking in and saw a human figure completely surrounded by light spots.

Seeing this scene, the head of the Li family couldn't help but hold his breath.

In an instant he turned around and placed his hands on the railing of the observation deck in front of him, staring intently at the figure walking slowly towards the spiritual spring below, his eyes revealing a hint of excitement.

The old man next to him couldn't help but pull out his beard when he saw this scene.

"This kind of movement and this density of hope Gu!"

"It's first-class! It's first-class!"

Before the old man could spit out the answer in his mind, the head of the Li family spoke excitedly and added the part he wanted to say next.

But he denied it the next moment and gave it a higher evaluation.

"No! That's not right! It's not just ordinary A-grade!"

"When I awakened 80% of my Qi Sea Aperture, there was no such noise!"

"This kind of movement! The Qi Sea accounts for at least 90% of the empty space!!!"

And the fact is, it is indeed so—

One step, two steps, three steps...

Ten steps, twenty steps, thirty steps...

When he took the 30th step, Kuiba Wuhe felt his mind suddenly go blank, and his whole body went limp, as if he had fallen into the clouds. His heartstrings relaxed, his hairs straightened, and all the pores in his body opened.

In an instant, I felt refreshed.

Kuiba Wuhe could clearly feel that a strange dimension of space appeared out of thin air below his navel and between his kidneys.

It seems infinitely large, yet infinitely small.

There is a kind of power hidden inside, which is not much and not very powerful.

But for the people of this world, this is hope...

Feeling his own Qi Hai Kongqiao, Kuiba Wuhe raised an inexplicable smile at the corner of his mouth. When he took the 30th step, he knew that his efforts over the years had finally paid off.

Thirty steps, the proportion of true essence and qi sea is 60%, and the aptitude is neither high nor low.

But this is enough for Kuiba Wuhe.

Even if his qualification is only D, he can

In the next period of time, he would use the accumulated resources to make rapid progress. As he thought, he could even leap to the fifth level in one step...

but……

"I didn't attract so many Hope Gu just to leave after taking thirty steps."

Kuiba Wuhe raised the corner of his mouth slightly, stared at the pressure in front of him and continued to move forward.

Thirty-five steps, forty steps...

Fifty steps!
After taking fifty steps, everyone at the scene held their breath.

Everyone's face was filled with disbelief.

"Fifty steps! Fifty steps!"

More than forty steps are Grade A, what does fifty steps represent?
Most of the people at the scene still didn't quite understand what this meant, but even so, it couldn't hide the shock in their hearts.

What shocked them even more was that Kuiba Wuhe raised his leg as if to move forward, but his leg was stuck in mid-air and he couldn't take that step forward.

But that was not because Kuiba Wuhe had no way to move forward, but...

There is no road ahead.

Fifty steps is not just the end of the assessment, but it is not his end.

Kuiba Wuhe stopped and silently looked at the huge spiritual spring in front of him, and the spiritual wall in front of him that had no effect on him. He did not rush forward, nor did he look back. He just slowly exhaled towards the front, towards the Hope Gu that still surrounded him.

"Yuan Yang left without thinking, and entered the Buddhist temple in a hurry."

"When I first arrived in another world, I was wandering around and was named Qiankun Caomang Township."

"My flesh and blood have turned to mud, and my heart is as hard as stone. I sigh helplessly as I am held hostage."

"If you have the courage to step forward and look back, whoever controls the situation will be the one to lose his head."

Kuiba Wuhe suddenly waved his sleeves, turned around and left, and the golden light lingering around him was dispersed by his hand.

The crowd surrounding him from behind was instantly exposed to his eyes.

But at this moment, no one dared to stand in front of Kuiba Wuhe. As he moved forward, they slowly dispersed, opening up a path to the outside world for him.

And Kuiba Wuhe continued to move forward along this path...

Even the family elder who was in charge of the awakening ceremony was overwhelmed by Kuiba Wuhe's aura and pointed out that Kuiba Wuhe was out of his sight. This made the final evaluation result somewhat unbelievable.

"Li Qiankun, fifty... fifty, A... A-level qualification..."
