Ch 667: Disciple Examination
“No need for formalities.”
Li Hanzhou smiled faintly and spoke.
“Yes, Senior.”
Xu Pengyun and the other Elders said with excited expressions.
With the Jade Mansion Grand Competition approaching, Li Hanzhou had not returned for many days.
They were afraid that Li Hanzhou was lingering outside and had forgotten about this matter, which would be disastrous.
Fortunately, Li Hanzhou returned safely.
However, when they cast their gazes upon Li Hanzhou, they were all greatly shocked.
A strong shock flashed in everyone’s eyes.
If they were not mistaken, Li Hanzhou seemed even stronger than before he left.
This was an exceptionally intuitive feeling.
If Li Hanzhou’s previous impression on them was that of an insurmountable, towering High Mountain, then at this moment, it was as if mayflies were looking at the vast ocean, boundless.
“Greetings to the Sect Master and all the Elders.”
Chu Ran bowed to Xu Pengyun and the others, then looked at Li Hanzhou excitedly and said, “Senior, this Junior will go cultivate first.”
When leaving the Mist Sea Forbidden Zone, Li Hanzhou helped him find a Wuyuan Flower; he couldn’t wait to go into secluded cultivation.
He believed that with this Wuyuan Flower, his strength would improve a lot. In the Outer Disciple Assessment, he hoped to compete for a top three spot.
“Go.”
Li Hanzhou nodded, then looked at Xu Pengyun and the others who were standing still, and said with a wry smile, “You don’t have to stand there idly; go about your business.”
After saying that, he shook his head and walked towards his residence.
He was very curious about the Inheritance Treasure left by True Person Baoding, mentioned by Green Jade, and like Chu Ran, he also planned to continue cultivating.
In this way, he could cultivate the Soul Returning Art to the third level sooner.
Cultivation should not be neglected.
Watching Li Hanzhou’s figure disappear, Xu Pengyun and the others finally came to their senses.
“What exactly did Senior gain from this trip out that gave me such a strong sense of pressure?”
Xu Pengyun said first, with a hint of wonder on his face.
“Who knows? We can’t just run over and ask; that would be too disrespectful to the Senior. However, the stronger Senior is, the better it is for us.”
An Elder shook his head and said.
“Correct.” These words were met with everyone’s agreement.
Li Hanzhou would represent their Yuanyang Sect in the Jade Mansion Grand Competition. They wondered if he would encounter any strong opponents.
After all, the other two Sects competing for Secret Realm spots were not fools. Faced with this great opportunity, they would surely bet everything and use every means necessary. Who knows if they would also attract a Worldly Expert like Li Hanzhou?
However, they felt this was unlikely.
Because Li Hanzhou, this Worldly Expert, was someone they met by chance; it was a stroke of incredible luck. How could the other two Sects be as lucky as their Yuanyang Sect?
After a few pleasantries, Xu Pengyun and the others dispersed with smiles.
Li Hanzhou took many books from the Yuanyang Sect’s Library and returned to his room.
Then he began to browse through the treasured Ancient Texts, examining them carefully.
He was not a native of the Boundless Continent; he did not yet fully understand many things about this Heaven and Earth.
Meanwhile, the Nascent Soul in his Sea of Consciousness was also busy, sitting cross-legged and constantly cultivating the Soul Returning Art.
If other Cultivators were to do this, they would likely fall into Qi Deviation soon.
But Li Hanzhou didn’t; this was the unique advantage of his Nascent Soul, allowing him to multitask without worrying about this problem.
Two more days passed.
In the early morning of the next day.
As the sky began to lighten, three consecutive bell tolls rang out within the Yuanyang Sect.
Today, both Elders and Disciples woke up unusually early.
“This day has finally arrived! I’ve trained for so long, and now is the time to achieve great things!”
“This Assessment is very important. I heard from the Elders that if someone performs exceptionally well in this Assessment, they might be noticed by other Elders and accepted as a Disciple. This is a tremendous opportunity!”
“……”
A large number of Yuanyang Sect’s Outer Disciples gathered like fish in the Sect’s Training Ground, whispering among themselves.
If one looked down from above, one could see a sea of people, hundreds of Disciples.
“This Disciple Assessment, I must make a name for myself!”
Chu Ran stood in the crowd, gazing at the extremely wide Arena in front of him, took a deep breath, and silently said to himself.
After returning to the Yuanyang Sect with Li Hanzhou, he immediately went into secluded cultivation.
He was already at the peak of the Transcendent Realm, only one step away from the Profound Connection Realm.
However, this step presented a significant obstacle, causing him to remain at this Realm for a long time.
This time, thanks to Li Hanzhou, he was fortunate enough to obtain the Wuyuan Flower. This seclusion was not fruitless; using the immense Medicinal Power of the Wuyuan Flower, he smashed through the barrier blocking him and successfully stepped into the Profound Connection Realm.
However, after breaking through to the Profound Connection Realm, he did not become complacent.
Because among the Outer Disciples, there were still several whose Realms were higher than his.
“The Sect Master and Elders are here!”
At this time, someone exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked up at the Sky.
Then, under the eager gazes of the Disciples, Xu Pengyun and the other Elders descended from the sky, walking on clouds as if on flat ground, finally landing on the high platform in front.
However, after standing on the high platform, they did not immediately sit in their assigned seats, but all looked towards the rear, as if waiting for something.
The next moment.
A figure instantly appeared before everyone.
Seeing Li Hanzhou yawning, Xu Pengyun’s eyes lit up, and he respectfully said, “Please be seated, Senior.”
Li Hanzhou nodded, casually found a seat, leaned back in the chair, and watched the Disciples below with interest.
Xu Pengyun had personally visited him yesterday to tell him about the Outer Disciple Assessment the next day and invited him to watch.
Li Hanzhou thought he was free anyway, so he decided to come and see.
He also wanted to see how Chu Ran, whom he had guided a few days ago, would perform in this Assessment.
Upon seeing Li Hanzhou, the Disciples immediately bowed and shouted in unison, “Senior!”
Then, everyone cast their curious gazes upon Li Hanzhou.
