In the cold winter, although the sun is high in the sky, it can't bring a hint of warmth, as if it had no temperature at all.
Before long, the sun had climbed high into the sky and was about to hang directly overhead, nearing the end of the scheduled time, but Wang Chen's figure still hadn't appeared in anyone's line of sight.
"Xin'er, don't worry, it's okay! You know Wang Chen's strength, nothing will happen!" Zilan comforted Liu Xin with a bitter smile as she saw her getting more and more anxious.
At this moment, however, her face also inevitably revealed a hint of worry, and her words lost their original persuasiveness.
"Hmm... The boss is really something, how come he still hasn't returned? It's almost time!" The madman was starting to get anxious.
With less than five minutes left until the scheduled time, Wang Chen still hadn't appeared.
Outside, those who knew Wang Chen were all discussing it at the same time!
"Hey, I think he's hanged!"
"It's also true, after all, he has only just entered the Outer Gate of Xingchen Sect for a few months? Does he really think he is stronger than Liu Yuanshu?"
"Four months and you want to enter the inner circle? You're still a bit tender!"
Some people who had friction with Wang Chen started to gloat, with a playful expression, occasionally glancing at the place where Liu Xiangyan and Kuang Ren were.
"You damned guys, I'll tear you apart!" Hearing these people's gloating words, the madman's face revealed a hint of murderous intent and he growled in a low voice.
"Never mind, madman, don't stir up trouble here. What kind of place is this? Can you stir up trouble?" Zilan frowned and shouted, hastily stopping the madman who was about to rush over.
"Xiang Qiankan, you little brat, why aren't you speaking up?! Damn it, isn't the boss your brother?! You won't even fart when someone talks to you like that?!" The Madman's anger was diverted to Xiang Qiankan after being blocked by Zilan.
"I'm in trouble even when I'm lying down! What can you do with your mouth on them? The elders are all here, if you want to die, you can go try it out! Wait until that kid comes back and see if these people can still speak!" Xiang Qian said innocently, curling his lips.
On the other hand, people inside were also discussing it enthusiastically.
Wang Chen's reputation over these few months has been too loud, it's impossible for those inside the circle not to know!
Nowadays, everyone knows that a peerless genius has emerged from the outer door of Xingchen Sect, even surpassing the achievements of Liu Yuanshu at that time. Under the influence of what they have heard and seen, they naturally remember this person.
The first month, he broke into the top 100 of the Star Chart, the second month, he broke into the top 30, and the third month, he broke into the top 10. He was the only outer sect disciple who had obtained permission from the elder to enter the library and choose a martial skill.
"I told you so! How can he compare to Liu Shixiong? He's overestimating himself! He can't even hunt a second-tier intermediate demon beast!"
"It's true, Master Liu is indeed the strongest genius in a hundred years! But that Wang Chen isn't bad either!"
"But Wang Chen is also not bad. Not many people can achieve such results in just a few months outside the sect, anyway, among the outer sect disciples, no one can compare with him except for Liu Shi Xiong?"
Up until now, Wang Chen still hasn't returned, some people sighed, others ridiculed! For a time, the scene below became lively.
Only Liu Yuanshu stood quietly in the front, his face calm and collected. As if everything had nothing to do with him. He turned his head to look at Liu Xiangyan behind him, without a slight frown.
"Wang Chen, is it really just like this?" A sigh, Liu Yuanshu asked quietly in his heart.
"This little guy is really something, can't let people be at ease!" The yellow-toothed elder sighed on the stage.
"There's still time, what's the rush! Maybe this kid will bring us another surprise!" The old bone elder said with a pout.
Can't stand the anxious personality of Huang Ya's elder. Not calm at all, otherwise he would have been able to make that man poison himself under his nose on the same day?
"Surprise? This kid is only a second-stage True Martial artist, what surprise can he bring! No doubt, his strength is very strong. But hunting a second-stage mid-level demon beast still has some difficulty! Being able to hunt one by himself is already good enough, and you're thinking he'll hunt a second-stage high-level demon beast for you?" Yellow Tooth Elder retorted with a snort.
Today's test was actually announced after all the elders had made their decision. In previous years, the first round of assessment generally only required hunting and killing a second-tier primary demon beast to be sufficient! This year's requirement can be said to be largely aimed at Wang Chen, wanting to see what level this guy's strength is at.
After all, Wang Chen is only sixteen years old even if he has passed the year now, and has just entered the ranks of sixteen-year-olds. It's been only four months since he entered the outer gate of Xingchen Sect! Even if this time fails, it won't have much impact, relying on his momentum and strength, staying in the outer gate for another five or six months will naturally enter the inner gate.
Such a test is actually able to get Wang Chen's strongest answer, if he succeeds it can be said that it is the best answer. The proposal was strongly demanded by the Second Elder!
The two elders in front of Er Lao and Da Lao. Both of them also had a lot on their minds, apparently worried about Wang Chen as well.
Seeing this, Huang Ya's elder was dissatisfied and curled his lips. What's the matter! Obviously, he is worried about that little guy! The speed of that little guy's progress in strength and ability, continuing to stay in the outer gate will not make much progress, the inner gate is the best choice. These two guys still want to make things difficult for him, isn't this self-inflicted suffering? Anyway, he himself thinks that Wang Chen entering the inner gate is the best choice.
"How did you know? That kid is quite something, and you're not unaware of it! Heh heh, has he given you few surprises?" The old bone elder said with a smirk.
"I didn't think there would be any surprises this time anyway, the time has come, and the surprise is that I haven't seen it!" The old man with yellow teeth glared at him and complained.
"Haha, not necessarily, just watch! Oh, right, you don't know yet! This kid entered the ranks of a third-stage True Martial Artist two days ago!" The withered old man revealed a rare smile as if thinking of something amusing.
"Third-grade True Martial? Really? You must be mistaken! This kid has entered the ranks of third-grade True Martial so quickly?" Dry Bone Zhang's words almost made Huang Ya jump out of his chair!
Opened her eyes wide and grasped his hand tightly, asking.
"Believe it or not, it's true anyway!" The old dry bones said indifferently.
"Damn it, this kid is not human! Four months! He actually went from the 7th stage of Body Refining to the 3rd stage of True Martial in just four months, he's really not human!" Looking at Ku Gu's appearance, Huang Ya didn't seem to be lying, and he sat paralyzed in his chair, muttering to himself.
"Heh heh, so what's the big deal? That kid won't die. A third-stage True Martial Artist, tsk tsk tsk, not bad at all! Otherwise, this time wouldn't have brought out such a test!" The old bones elder said with relish.
"Alright, let's just announce the results!" The Second Elder sighed to himself, seeing that there was less than a minute left.
"Announce it!" The old man's mouth twitched and he also sighed.
"What a pity! If only he could come back, how great it would be! Is it really that we targeted him? The topic is too difficult!" Looking at the empty entrance of the martial arts arena, the elder sighed to himself, with a hint of bitter smile on his face.
Less than a minute is left, it seems that this little guy has really gotten into trouble, and three others have not returned yet.
As the second elder stood up and walked to the front, the whole scene fell silent! All the murmurs stopped, and everyone's eyes were fixed on him.
Know that the time has come to announce the results, know that the final result is about to be released.
In front of them, Xuan Yu and Ke Er saw this scene, the two exchanged a glance, both couldn't help but slightly furrow their brows! In their opinion, the most promising Wang Chen didn't appear?
"He won't make it!" Below, looking at the Second Elder standing up, Liu Xiangyan's face was slightly pale, and she said in a low voice, her eyes moist.
She knew how important this opportunity was for Wang Chen, and what kind of blow he would suffer if he lost it. Thinking about the possible reaction from Wang Chen, Liu Xiangyan felt a pang in her heart.
"It must have been ambushed by someone else! Otherwise, hunting a second-tier intermediate demon beast shouldn't be a problem!" The madman also said with a gloomy face.
"No way, I'm going to find him!" The next moment, Liu Xiangyan rushed forward, leaving the martial arts arena.
"Xin'er, don't be in a hurry, how can you leave now when Xiaor is still over there! The Second Elder has not announced the result yet, wait!" Zi Lan anxiously said, pulling back Liu Xinyan who was rushing out.
"Don't worry, rest assured! The boss has guaranteed that nothing will go wrong!" The madman also hurriedly advised.
At this time, leaving suddenly and being discovered by the elder is punishable.
"Wait a minute! Let's go together after the results are announced! If Top Brother can't enter the inner gate, I'll accompany him at the outer gate for another year!" Crazy Man sighed.
One sentence made Zilan and Liu Xiangyan extremely shocked. Accompanying Wang Chen at the outer gate for a year? Giving up the opportunity to enter the inner gate? Only he could do such a thing, if others knew about it, they would definitely think this guy was crazy.
"Alright, let's announce it, just wait a minute, it won't make a difference!" Seeing Liu Xiangyan calm down, Zilan hurriedly persuaded.
Under Zilan's semi-compulsion, Liu Xiangyan returned to her original position with a distracted mind, looking at the two elders on stage with a complex expression.
On the stage, at this time the two elders looked again in the direction of the martial arts arena gate, but did not see that expected figure. After a sigh, they took a step forward: "Alright, it's about time, now I announce..."
And then announced the first phase of the results of this internal selection.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone knew that Wang Chen was finished.
"Wait, I'm coming! The time hasn't arrived yet, has it?" Just then, a shout came from outside the martial arts arena. The voice echoed throughout the entire arena!
As soon as this voice was heard, everyone turned their heads to look, and after seeing the newcomer clearly, the originally quiet martial arts arena erupted into a commotion.
"He's back!" Liu Xiangyan was overjoyed and burst into tears.
"This young whippersnapper!" The yellow-toothed elder sighed on stage.
"Eldest, it's just eldest, and that's how it is!" Crazy Jealousy said.
The two elders who were about to announce the results exchanged a glance, and a hint of unusual color flashed in their eyes, and they nodded imperceptibly, revealing an approving gaze.
"There's still half a minute left!" The Second Elder's words undoubtedly declared that Wang Chen had not yet lost his qualification!
