After easily killing Qian Biao, Ye Kong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Qian Biao was not that scary in the later stages of Qi refining. Ye Kong, whose wind physique had a speed advantage, could easily get rid of him.

In addition, the "Thousands of Wind Control Techniques" that his grandfather gave him contains many clever escape methods. He cannot defeat his opponents, but he can definitely outrun them.

Not to mention, Ye Kong has now reached the advanced stage of Qi refining.

Some people must be confused, since Qian Biao is in the late stage of Qi refining, and Ye Kong is also in the late stage of Qi refining, why should he run away, face to face, and just kill Qian Biao... In general fairy tales, the protagonists are two levels above killing monsters. , there is no requirement to skip levels here, invincibility can always be achieved at the same level, right?

It can only be said that people who have this idea are too young.

Qian Biao is over fifty years old, has countless fighting experiences in the world, has a gold-type physique, and has powerful attack power. He is close to being invincible at the same level.

Where is Ye Kong? When I was just starting out, I used to go to the forest to kill some wild beasts and see the blood to sharpen my practical experience, or compete with people in a small arena and kill people? not a single one.

Therefore, facing such an opponent, Ye Kong could never be tough. In the end, he used some wonderful methods provided by his grandfather to finally kill him.

Ye Kong's mother was placed in a nearby city with a population of 10,000 households. After killing Qian Biao who was chasing him, Ye Kong turned around and returned to the city, found his mother, and continued eastward.

Regarding the culprit who sent people to hunt him down, Ye Kong snorted coldly: "Mrs. Liu, this farewell kindness will be rewarded generously one day!"

…

half year later.

At the foot of Guanglei Mountain, which is hundreds of thousands of feet high, there is a huge city with a population of one million, called Tianlei City.

Ye Kong brought his mother to this city.

Prepare to participate in the Guanglei Mountain Apprentice Recruitment Competition to be held in three months.

In the past three months, according to the advice of the grandfather in his mind, Ye Kong used the little money he had to open a clothing store in a more prosperous area of ​​the city, and designed several sets of novel, comfortable and beautiful clothing styles. , let Ye Kong’s mother do it. Within a month, the clothing store’s business was booming and a large number of people were recruited; three months later, Ye Kong’s mother was not only the most famous tailor in Tianlei City, but also a famous little rich woman. , because of that clothing store, there are hundreds of branches opened in Tianlei City.

After recruiting two female monks in the middle stage of Qi refining at a high salary to protect his mother's safety, Ye Kong felt completely relieved.

Then, set foot on Guanglei Mountain to participate in the 10894th Apprentice Recruitment Competition.

Such a recruitment competition is also held every three years in Guanglei Mountain. The number of people recruited in each session is around a thousand, and the age limit is not strict. You can participate if you are not over 30 years old.

In order to join Guanglei Mountain, within a radius of thousands of miles, more than 100,000 warriors of various types come to participate in the apprentice recruitment competition every three years. These warriors, like the scholars who participated in the imperial examination in ancient times, inject Tianlei City with The endless excitement has greatly enhanced economic vitality.

At this time, Zhou Ming in Ye Kong's mind noticed: Compared with the system of elders coming down from the mountain to recruit apprentices in Qingyun Mountain, the "apprenticeship system through audition" implemented in Guanglei Mountain is more than superior.

Because of this system, there is no identity threshold, anyone can come and try, and all contestants who come to compete are given the same opportunity. There is no discrimination and they are all treated equally. Whether they can join Guanglei Mountain depends only on whether they have real ability.

Relying on this clever system of recruiting disciples, Guangleishan controlled an extremely large territory and was full of talents. It firmly suppressed the surrounding sects, constantly squeezed and pushed forward, and was not even afraid of them joining forces to attack.

But the sects like Qingyun Mountain are not vegetarians. They pursue the "elite" strategy and would rather have one genius than a thousand masters.

Why is this so?

Because the various sects in Lingyuan Continent are located on "spiritual veins" with abundant spiritual energy, and the "spiritual energy" provided by spiritual veins is not unlimited. Some spiritual veins are enough for 100 people, and some are enough for 1,000. People, so in order to meet the personal requirements for reaching a higher level of cultivation, the spiritual veins that were originally enough for 100 people to practice ended up being used by only 10 people.

So taking Qingyun Mountain as an example, this sect is beaten by Guanglei Mountain in terms of mid- to low-end combat power, but in terms of high-end strength, the two sects can fight to a tie.

You must know that in this world where martial arts is respected, once the gap in cultivation is too large, it is normal for one person to kill ten people or to fight one against a hundred people.

Therefore, each sect consumes a lot of resources on average for the unlimited improvement of individual cultivation, and does not allow insufficient resources to occur, so it recruits fewer disciples.

Sects like Guangleishan that implement the system of recruiting apprentices through auditions are actually in the minority...even though this system is quite superior.

…

After the sun appears in the eighth month, the morning glow spreads across the eastern sky.

The Guanglei Mountain Apprentice Recruitment Competition has officially begun!

Some old candidates who have taken the exam several times call this "passing through the three levels"!

The first level: Climb the Wanzhang Mountain.

The mountain in front of you is 10,000 feet high. It is steep and rugged. The 100,000 runners at the foot of the mountain will start from ten starting points at the same time. Those who reach the top of the mountain within one stick of incense will be considered to have passed the first place. close.

The duration of one stick of incense is about half an hour (=1 hour). It is undoubtedly a great challenge to climb a mountain more than 30,000 meters high in one hour.

This is equivalent to traveling straight upward at a speed of more than 30 kilometers per hour.

Not only does it take a lot of physical energy, but you also have to pay attention to slipping on your feet, attacks from others around you, and keeping your speed up.

Because there are a total of 1,000 flags planted on the golden bridge in the second level. Only the players who arrive first can get the flags. Those who arrive later can only rely on grabbing.

"Come on!"

"No one can surpass me!"

"Guys in front, don't block my way, or I'll knock you out with one punch!"

"Why is that kid at the front so fast? He jumped up and was a hundred feet high!"

The man said in surprise to Ye Kong who was traveling at high speed.

"Don't worry about him, I'll meet him again when we get to the Golden Bridge!"

Amidst the sound of hunting, Ye Kong only took a little more than half a stick of incense to be the first to step onto the bridge that was made of unknown metal and emitted a golden light.

There were thousands of small golden flags on the guardrails on both sides of the bridge. Ye Kong took off ten of them in succession and put them in his pocket.

A few minutes later, people arrived at the Golden Bridge one after another, adopting the same strategy. While there were still many flags, they each took down many.

Within the stipulated time, as many as 2,000 people finally came to the Golden Bridge.

But there are only a thousand golden flags.

The only people holding the golden flag were the first hundred or so people who arrived.

A melee was inevitable.

Those who hold more flags seem to be attacked by those without flags.

But this did not happen. Ye Kong and the others still had to save their strength to deal with the mechanical beasts in the third level.

So Ye Kong followed the strategy and took out the nine extra flags in his pocket and gave them to nine people he thought were pretty strong. The condition was that these nine people must lead him, obey his command, and fight off the gold together. On the bridge, there were another thousand or so people without flags. Those who did not get the flags were extremely crazy at the moment in order to get the flags. They tried their best to grab a flag.

"Kill!"

"Flag! I have tried three times, I must get a flag this time!"

"Let's go together and grab it together!"

"Even if I throw away the flag, I won't let you get it!" In a moment of crisis, someone threw the flag in his pocket into the abyss under the Golden Bridge.

"Ah!" Someone also screamed miserably when they lost their footing during the fight and fell off the Golden Bridge.

"Boom~"

When the stone gate opposite the Golden Bridge opened, there were less than 600 players standing on the bridge.

These people had to regroup into groups of ten to deal with the "mechanical beasts" in each passage.

The mechanical beast is more than a foot tall. It has a body made of hard gold and stone materials and is driven by high-grade spiritual stones. Its strength is equivalent to that of a monk in the early stage of liquid condensation. In addition, it has a body of gold and stone with strong defensive power. Ten people in the middle or late stage of Qi Refining can The human monks, maybe all together, are no match for a mechanical beast.

This level is also the most difficult one. You must defeat the mechanical beast, get the "key" hidden in its body, and open the last stone door. Only then can you pass the level and become a disciple of Guanglei Mountain.

But if you can't defeat the mechanical beast, you can choose to escape or fight hard. However, with the mechanical beast's attack power, the result of fighting is very likely to be the group destruction and the death of the entire team.

However, Ye Kong led his team and easily passed this level with zero casualties. The weakness of the mechanical beast is speed and slow reaction. He has a wind physique, but speed is his strength, so he took charge Attracting the attention of the mechanical beast, the other team members attacked the weak joints of the mechanical beast. After an hour, they exhausted the energy in the mechanical beast's body, got the key, and successfully passed the level.

After the stone door is opened.

On the stone brick square opposite, a white-haired elder was very surprised when he saw Ye Kong walking at the front and the first group of nine teammates walking out. How many years has it been? In the mechanical beast level, there was once again a team that passed the level without any losses, and the boy in the lead looked very young.

The white-haired elder asked Ye Kong kindly: "My child, how old are you now?"

"Elder, I am 16 years old." Ye Kong replied.

"How is your cultivation?"

"It's the late stage of Qi refining."

"Have you taken a lot of pills?"

"No, I haven't taken any pills." Ye Kong shook his head.

"Oh~" The white-haired elder's eyes lit up. He stepped forward and held his shoulders, injecting a stream of spiritual energy to explore. After a while, he became slightly excited: "Innate wind-controlling body, pure Yuan non-poisonous body, excellent talent, quite powerful If you have wisdom roots, you can enter the inner sect and become a key talent to be cultivated by the sect!"

"Wow~"

There was a commotion all around, and those who had passed the test were even more envious and jealous of him, because Guanglei Mountain accepted disciples, and they were divided into outer sects and inner sects. The outer sects were free-range and received very few resources. The inner sect is focused on cultivating elites and will devote a lot of resources to them.

In the past, those who had just entered Guanglei Mountain would first inspect the outer gate for a period of time, and then after a fierce competition in the arena, only the best ones could enter the inner gate.

Now Ye Kong actually skipped this procedure and entered the inner sect directly. He was also listed as a key training target.

Why doesn't this make people jealous and envious?

"Thank you, elder!"

Ye Kong was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to the white-haired elder.
