Chapter 26: The Assessment Ends

  Lin Tianyang was getting worried as they didn't see them return, but just then, he suddenly saw the three of them walking out of the forest together with the five people they met on their way up the mountain earlier, and it seemed like they had become quite close.

  After registering the license plate, the three of them came to Lin Tianyang's side together. Lin Tianyang immediately asked: "How did you come out with those five people just now?"

  Fang Jin smiled and said, "The three of us still have to thank you, Lin brother. You don't know that originally the three of us were surrounded by people and were about to collapse, but after Li Fei and his five brothers passed by, they immediately lent a hand to deal with those surrounding people, and even helped us snatch three number plates. Li Fei is the eldest among the five."

  Perhaps it was the last hurdle, Leng Qingfeng also smiled and said: "Brother Fang's words are not bad either. If they didn't fear Lin brother's great name, plus they had offended Lin brother before, I'm afraid they wouldn't have helped us. That Li Fei kept whispering in our ears all the way, wanting to ask us to speak a few more good words in front of you!"

  Lin Tianyang couldn't help but burst out laughing after hearing that. Previously, he was worried about his notorious reputation, but it turned out that this notorious reputation also had its uses at times.

  After a while, Li Li suddenly stood up and said: "The last test is over. Those who haven't returned yet will be considered as failing no matter how many number plates they have on their bodies!"

  Li Li deliberately did not announce the last checkpoint time in advance, also to prevent some of her relatives or extremely close friends from giving their bibs to their companions before the time was up.

  At this time, some people in the forest indeed heard these words and let out extremely regretful cries.

  Those who failed to pass, one by one returned to the empty land, but stood on both sides with those who passed, clearly distinguished. Then there were many foundation-building cultivators, carrying injured cultivators out of the forest, and these were all seriously injured, at least unable to leave the forest on their own in a short period of time.

  Whether they were injured or not, those who failed looked somewhat dejected.

  After almost everyone had arrived, Li Li stood up again and announced: "Those of you who have handed in your number plates and registered earlier are now considered inner disciples of the Lei Yan Sect! As for those of you who haven't passed the final test, this assessment will give you a last chance!"

  They had already lost all hope, but suddenly heard there was still a chance, and one by one they looked at Li Li with great joy.

  Li Li saw them and slightly curled up the corners of her mouth, saying: "If any of you have exceptional skills in alchemy, artifact refinement, talisman creation, spiritual beast and insect cultivation, or spiritual herb and medicine planting, you can demonstrate your abilities in front of our sect's masters. If they deem it worthy, you may also be included among the inner disciples. Of course, if you have other talents, feel free to showcase them as well. Our sect will provide extra generous treatment!"

  After she finished speaking, many people from both sides immediately came out, especially the losing side, with unexpected surprise and delight on their faces.

  When the people who came out gathered together, Li Lili instructed: "You people, follow this junior master by my side to the town, where several masters of our sect are already waiting!"

  After watching them leave, Li Li continued: "The remaining people, if you think your strength is sufficient, you can challenge the disciples of these sects behind me. As long as you defeat one of them, it will be considered a pass. However, before the challenge, I must remind you that these sect disciples are only in the Qi Refining stage of cultivation and will go all out when they attack, so injuries or deaths are inevitable. If your strength is insufficient but still want to come up, dying here can only be blamed on yourself!"

  Because there were only twenty or thirty disciples of the Lei Yan Sect behind Li Lian, and nearly three thousand people had not passed the test, if everyone really went up to try, it was likely that those twenty or thirty Lei Yan Sect disciples would be completely exhausted by the wheel war.

  However, even with prior warnings, there were still two or three hundred people who stood out, but when only three people won in the first round and several people were seriously injured, more than 200 people left immediately gave up.

  Not giving up, it turned out that more than half of the people passed, but in total only thirty or so people defeated the Lei Yan Sect disciples, and were considered to have obtained the qualifications for inner sect disciples through their own strength.

  The assessment is now over. After Li Lian announced that everyone had passed the assessment, Lin Tianyang and others returned to Dengtian Town at Chen time the next day.

  The next morning, when Lin Tianyang and others arrived at the empty land, they found that more than a dozen black giant ships had stopped here. These giant ships were all made of refined iron, with the smallest one over ten zhang long. The hulls were carved with various talisman patterns, and the spiritual light flowed freely without restraint.

  At this time and place, apart from those who had passed the assessment to become inner sect disciples, there were also many cultivators who had become outer sect disciples. At a glance, there were at least over ten thousand people present.

  Before long, He Xingzhi, Li Li and Zuo Guangming arrived together. After He Xingzhi said a few congratulatory words about joining the Lei Yan Sect, everyone began to board this flying boat.

  In the flying boat, the three largest flying boats were carrying inner door disciples. After boarding the flying boat, Lin Tianyang found that inside the flying boat, except for a larger hall, it was actually divided into small cabins. The four of them naturally ended up in the same room again.

  The flying boat took off soon, and Lin Tianyang was still on his first ride in this large-scale flight instrument. However, he also found that although the flying boat was big, it flew extremely smoothly, but its speed wasn't very fast. Of course, this might be because the Leiyin Sect's mountain gate was just a hundred miles away, and they didn't need to fly extremely fast.

  But even so, after a moment, the flying boat passed through a light curtain, and Lin Tianyang saw a magnificent scene through the small window in the cabin.

  Only in the midst of the mountains and valleys below, pavilions and towers are scattered among them. Several high mountain peaks, with clouds and mist swirling around their tops, various unknown celestial birds flying freely around the peaks. Among the peaks, colorful Taoist priests flash through, a scene of a fairyland paradise.

  The flying boat arrived at the top of the mountain group and did not continue to fly in the same direction. The three flying boats carrying the inner door disciples flew to the same place, while the rest of the flying boats flew to another place.

  In less than a minute, the three flying boats finally landed on an open space on a small hill. Lin Tianyang and others only walked out of the flying boat to find that except for this empty space, the entire small hill was covered with those small stone houses similar to the one he lived in when he was in Dengtian Town.

  When many people were curiously looking at those small stone houses, Li Lian's voice rang out again. "New fellow apprentices, this is the residence of our Lei Yan Sect inner disciples. Here, you can choose any one of these small houses, and before building your foundation, that will be your residence!" PS: Three updates are here, collect! Collect! Ask for collection!
