Nine Turns Sword God

Qingming Academy is located south of Nanyang County.

It faces the prosperous city to the north and is backed by towering mountains.

At this time, a long queue is formed in the square at the foot of the mountain.

Men and women are divided into two rows and take the entrance test in turn.

"Zhong Jingming, half-step divine vein realm, barely qualified!"

The elder who is responsible for testing the strength of the disciples writes down the realm of the disciple.

Chu Shaoyang secretly smacked his lips: "Half-step divine vein realm, can only be considered barely qualified."

"Qingming Academy, so strict!"

Soon it was Chu Shaoyang's turn.

The elder looked at the list, Chu Shaoyang's distinctive golden characters.

He frowned slightly: "Your name is Chu Shaoyang?"

Chu Shaoyang nodded.

The elder looked carefully and said disappointedly: "Half-step divine vein realm, barely qualified."

All the disciples have been tested.

A full two hundred people surrounded the elder who was testing.

"The first round of tests is over. The next round of tests will test your spiritual roots."

"Only those who pass the test can enter the lower courtyard."

Spiritual roots!

Only warriors under the age of 20 with extraordinary talents can awaken their spiritual roots.

At the same realm, warriors with spiritual roots can cultivate faster and have stronger strength.

Depending on the type of spiritual roots, they will also have different abilities.

Just like Chu Shaoyang's spiritual roots, not only have the power of devouring, but also awakened the ability of perspective.

As the spiritual root grade continues to break through, it will only be stronger in the future.

Without spiritual roots, not only will the combat power be greatly reduced, but at most you can only cultivate to the peak of the Divine Vein Realm.

So, spiritual roots determine the upper limit!

The lower courtyard of Qingming Academy is where new disciples live.

Only geniuses who have grown up are qualified to enter the upper courtyard and obtain more cultivation resources.

Everyone followed the inspection elder to the second assessment site.

Chu Shaoyang was about to catch up.

On the side, Feng Baiyu smiled coldly: "Why are you still following?"

"Even if you barely touch the passing line of the test, you will never pass the second round of tests!"

Chu Shaoyang frowned: "Noisy!"

He took Mu Chunxue and walked past Feng Baiyu.

Completely ignored!

Feng Baiyu was furious!

But he couldn't do anything in front of the elders!

He rolled his eyes and thought of something.

Since he couldn't do anything, he would crush him hard in the spiritual root test!

Everyone stepped onto the hundred stone steps and came to a wider square.

In the center, there was a black boulder that was like a tombstone and ten meters high.

The inspection elder said loudly: "The second round of tests will test the strength of spiritual roots!"

"This is a soul stone. After injecting the power of spiritual roots, it can show the form of spiritual roots."

"The nine grooves on the side correspond to the first to ninth grades of Chen level. The more they are lit, the higher the grade of spiritual roots."

He opened the list again.

Chu Shaoyang's golden name is particularly eye-catching!

If the realm is not enough, could it be that the spiritual root is strong, there will be a special mark?

The inspection elder shouted: "The first examiner, Chu Shaoyang!"

Chu Shaoyang frowned slightly.

In the last round, he was not ranked last.

Why is he the first in this round?

"Elder Wang!"

Feng Baiyu suddenly said: "My name is Feng Baiyu, I want to be the first to take the test!"

Introduce your family name!

The inspection elder raised his eyebrows and smiled: "So you are the son of the Feng family."

"Well, you go first."

Everyone's face changed slightly.

The Feng family dare not offend even the inspection elder!

Feng Baiyu looked proud.

Passing by Chu Shaoyang, he lowered his voice: "Open your dog eyes and see clearly what spiritual roots are!"

He strode forward, urged the power of the spiritual root, and printed a palm on the soul stone.

The thin golden spiritual line outlined a golden-feathered roc, lifelike!

"Golden-winged Dapeng spiritual root!"

"Among the Chen-level beast spiritual roots, it is enough to rank in the top ten!"

Amid the exclamation, the groove on the side of the soul stone was gradually filled with golden light.

One, two...

Until the fourth one was bright, the fifth one flickered a few times, and finally went out.

"Chen-level fourth grade, golden-winged Dapeng spiritual root!"

The inspection elder nodded repeatedly: "Just a little bit, it can break through the Chen-level fifth grade."

"As expected of the younger generation of the Feng family, what a talent!"

Everyone praised endlessly.

Feng Baiyu returned to Chu Shaoyang and Mu Chunxue and boasted: "Did you see it?"

"Chen-level fifth grade, a height you will never reach in your life!"

He turned his eyes: "Xue'er, what are you doing standing next to this waste?"

"Come over!"

Many disciples who were watching the excitement took this opportunity to flatter him!

"Girl, follow Master Feng, you can enjoy the good life, why do you have to put yourself in a difficult position?"

"Look at that boy, he looks weak, he probably doesn't even have spiritual roots."

"He is worthy of competing with Master Feng?"

The laughter continued.

Mu Chunxue was very angry, but she didn't even have a chance to interrupt because of the gossip.

Feng Baiyu raised his hand, and everyone was quiet.

He smiled playfully: "I'm curious, do you have spiritual roots?"

"Do you dare to try?"

Chu Shaoyang smiled faintly and was about to speak, when suddenly a voice came: "Who is Chu Shaoyang?"

"I am."

Chu Shaoyang replied.

A red-robed elder came over, and many elders in charge of the inspection bowed.

Obviously, this person's status was not low.

He came in front of Chu Shaoyang and said lightly: "You have an elder's order, you can be exempted from the test and directly hired."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and a force came.

A token flew out from Chu Shaoyang's body, which was the token given to him by Mo Qingyun!

The red-robed elder took the token and took a closer look: "It is the elder's token."

"Elder's token?"

Everyone was shocked.

Someone explained: "With this token, you can enter Qingming Academy directly without taking the test."

Everyone was stunned.

"I have never heard of the elder's token. It must be a very outstanding person who can get it!"

"Yes, this Chu Shaoyang is probably extraordinary!"

"Not necessarily, maybe he got it by luck!"

Many people speculated secretly.

The red-robed elder glanced at Chu Shaoyang and said lightly: "Young man, you should still take the right path and don't take shortcuts."

Obviously, he thought Chu Shaoyang came in through the back door.

However, this person was quite thoughtful and kindly reminded Chu Shaoyang.

When they heard what he said, everyone was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized.

Feng Baiyu laughed in anger: "I thought you were so powerful, but you have an elder token!"

"No wonder you are so close to Mu Chunxue, she helped you to intercede, so you got the token?"

All the disciples laughed!

Mu Chunxue left Lingyun Sword Sect and took the entrance exam for Qingming Academy. Many elders were optimistic about her.

It would be fine if Chu Shaoyang took the back door, but he was a pretty boy, riding on Mu Chunxue's light!

It must be that he begged Mu Chunxue hard, so he got an elder token.

It's ridiculous!

Everyone sneered, especially Feng Baiyu.

"You guys!"

Mu Chunxue was speechless for a moment, blushing!

Chu Shaoyang said lightly: "You can't do it here. When you enter Qingming Academy, there will be plenty of opportunities."

Mu Chunxue's face changed.

Under Chu Shaoyang's calm face, there was an extremely cold killing intent!

He was really angry!

Only the elder who was inspecting was more and more confused.

Half-step Divine Vein Realm, no spiritual root...

With such qualifications, if one does not use extraordinary means to obtain the elder token, then he is hiding his incompetence!

Chu Shaoyang's true strength may be far beyond his expectations.

He suppressed his suspicion and said loudly: "Next, Mu Chunxue!"

Under Chu Shaoyang's urging, Mu Chunxue had to step forward for the test.

The result was somewhat unexpected.

"Chen-level fourth-grade, Phoenix Soul Sword!"

"The combination of animal spiritual roots and sword spiritual roots is extremely rare!"

Her spiritual root is a red long sword, surrounded by the phantom of a red phoenix.

Sword spirits are rare, and spiritual roots with animal souls are even rarer!

Chu Shaoyang was slightly surprised.

It was the first time he had seen such a rare spiritual root.

The disciples watching were also shocked and envious of the Phoenix Soul Sword.

An hour later, the spiritual root test was finally over.

The original team of 200 people was reduced to only more than 30 people.

After all, there are only a few people who can awaken their spiritual roots.

Under the guidance of the inspection elder, everyone came to the lower courtyard.

The lower courtyard is divided into four courtyards: A, B, C, and D.

In each courtyard, hundreds of disciples live in different areas.

Chu Shaoyang and his friends were assigned to the Ding-shaped courtyard.

There are many small courtyards in a radius of ten miles.

The inspection elder said loudly: "After choosing a place to live, come to me to receive cultivation resources."

Everyone chose a courtyard and received cultivation resources.

Three second-grade Qi Condensation Pills!

Each one is as powerful as ten first-grade Qi Transformation Pills!

Each disciple of the Chu family can only receive one Qi Transformation Pill per month.

This is the foundation of a large sect!

In addition, there is a third-grade ordinary martial arts, which is a boxing method.

Five Thunder Heart Fist!

There are five levels in the whole method, one level and one punch, and the fist force shakes the air, like thunder.

When practicing to perfection, five punches are thrown together, and five thunders explode!

But this boxing method is very strange.

"The Five Thunder Heart Fist is a basic martial art that has been passed down from generation to generation in the academy, but don't underestimate this martial art."

"The first level is very simple, but the difficulty of practicing each level will increase exponentially. Many elders in the palace have studied this martial art for many years, and it is difficult to practice to the fifth level."

"So, practicing the first level is already good enough. As for the subsequent levels, whether you can practice it depends on your talent."

The disciples hurriedly looked through the Five Thunder Heart Fist.

When they saw the first level, it was really as the elder said, there was no difficulty.

But the second level, the difficulty increased exponentially!

Many people were surprised to find that they couldn't even understand it, let alone practice.

At this time, the inspection elder spoke again: "After seven days of practice, it will be the academy assessment."

"Those who pass the assessment can participate in a newcomer training with disciples from other academies."
