Chapter 46: One Cry Shocks Everyone

  The trial grounds for the outer disciples of Qingyun Sect are not far from their residence, also located at the foot of the mountain near the sect's core area. Moreover, inside the trial grounds, the space is vast and there are many people, with multiple arenas built, as well as closed rooms specifically designed for late-stage warriors to break through in seclusion.

  Once a month, the congregation gathers, and basically, as long as they are outer disciples of Qingyun Sect, anyone who has free time will come to sign in. The new outer disciples of the month will also fully demonstrate their abilities on the trial field at this time, in order to enter the eyes of certain mentors and become a member of their team.

  This is the battle against Wu Yun Bao that Fang Tian Nan needs to face today.

  Fang Tian Nan originally didn't need to wait until today to face the trials of the remaining outer sect disciples. However, because he was delayed in entering the Transmission Cave Heaven, he only finished registering yesterday, so he could only be considered a newly promoted outer sect disciple.

  When Fang Tiannan arrived at the trial grounds of the sect, the venue was already packed with people. Just from this, Fang Tiannan could feel that there were a great many outer sect disciples within Qingyun Sect.

  Compared with the scarcity of inner door disciples, as the core strength of the sect exists, then every outer door disciple in each sect is the foundation of this sect.

  Thinking that he needed to advance to the inner door of the sect in the midst of competition from so many people, Fang Tian Nan not only didn't feel any sense of loss, but also had a few hints of eagerness.

  Especially the harvest in the Dōng Tiān, made Fang Tian Nan's heart no longer limited to becoming an inner disciple of the Qing Yun Sect. The sect rules that as long as one's strength reaches the Human Yuan boundary, they can automatically become an inner disciple, which is not far away for Fang Tian Nan.

  If Fang Tian's yang liquid can accumulate a bit more, even if he hasn't advanced to the Human Emperor realm, the combat power he displays will not be much weaker than that of a true Human Emperor.

  In Fang Tian Nan's heart, he was more expecting himself to continue on his path, cultivating all the way, becoming a True Person of the Earth Yuan Realm, a True Person of the Heaven Yuan Realm, and even becoming a strong master of the Zong Shi Realm that no one in Qing Yun Sect had ever set foot in.

  。。。。。。

  When the training time was up, on the trial field, it was the executive who was originally responsible for welcoming ordinary disciples to exchange identity tokens at the Qingyun Pavilion. He stood on a platform in the center of the trial field, clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and then said: "Today is what kind of day, I won't say much here. Now, let's start with the roll call of new outer door disciples. If you are late without a valid reason, the sect will impose certain penalties."

  As he spoke, the outer gate attendant began to read out the list of new outer gate disciples.

  Every time a name is called out, someone in the crowd responds.

  Fang Tian Nan also naturally heard his own name.

  This list of names is not the one used to exchange identity tokens at the Qingyun Pavilion in Qingyuntown, but rather the one based on the registration records from the Outer Sect's Disciple Registration Office. Otherwise, Fang Tian Nan would have already received the corresponding punishment from the sect within a month.

  After an ordinary child becomes a outer door child, the change in status also requires him to make some proper arrangements between the sect and his family.

  Most warriors, after becoming outer disciples of a sect, would first return to their place of residence and settle some matters.

  After all, the outer disciples of Qingyun Sect are a watershed for the vast majority of warriors.

  On the trial field, it seems that there are indeed many outer disciples of Qingyun Sect, but compared to ordinary disciples, the number of outer disciples is somewhat small.

  Like Fang Tian Nan, after receiving the identity token, he came to the Outer Disciple Registration Office a month later. This is very common in Qing Yun Sect. On the other hand, those who rely on their outstanding talents and are directly accepted as outer disciples by the sect will have an outer disciple steward lead them to the trial training ground for training.

  And these people are also a part of all the outsiders who are being closely watched.

  "Alright, next, everyone will follow the order of the roll call and start accepting the trial. The steward on the stage announced loudly, "It needs to be explained in advance that during the trial process, the newly promoted outer door disciples who show stronger combat power and better talent can attract more excellent mentors. If no mentor appreciates you after the trial, then you will have to rely on yourself to explore your future cultivation path. Or, you need to pay a greater price to learn from your fellow apprentices. So, everyone should be careful."

  At this moment, Fang Tian Nan and other newly promoted outer sect disciples' mood became somewhat apprehensive.

  Fang Tian Nan even recalled that yesterday, the staff at the registration office had specifically reminded him to prepare some suitable items, apparently worried that he wouldn't be able to impress the instructors during the assessment. If he could show off his wealth, perhaps some of the instructors would take a liking to him.

  After all, the mentor is not free to point out your martial arts practice. The Qingyun Sect will have some benefits for mentors. And among the outer disciples taught by the mentor, if someone's strength is advancing rapidly, or has advanced to become an inner disciple, the sect will reward this mentor.

  It's okay if there are some external benefits that can be provided, the mentor won't mind taking in a disciple who isn't particularly talented or capable.

  It's human nature, and there's nothing wrong with it.

  Just thinking of this, Fang Tian Nan suddenly smiled bitterly. If he had enough resources, why would he have to work so hard in Qing Yun Town and be an ordinary young master for three years?

  To put it bluntly, the difficulty of cultivating a path is self-evident. And for those ordinary and mediocre young people, it's even more difficult.

  。。。。。。

  Fang Tiannan's name was relatively far down on the list. So, at this moment, Fang Tiannan happened to be in a good mood, standing among the crowd of onlookers, observing the newly promoted outer sect disciples who had just undergone the trial.

  This month, there isn't a single martial artist who has directly advanced to become an Outer Disciple based on their innate talent.

  Most of the ones who rely on accumulating 1,000 contribution points or enter the Huajing realm before the age of 20 have a rare appearance of innate attribute energy. Such newly promoted outer door disciples are naturally awkward when facing the test of their seniors. According to Fang Tian Nan's observation, none of them have emerged victorious. Even those who can maintain a draw on the surface are extremely rare.

  "How is it? Don't you feel a lot of pressure?" Just as Fang Tian Nan was observing seriously, someone suddenly said to him, "Later when I go on stage, I'll be counting on my senior brother to not take it too seriously and let up a bit..."

  "Ah, you're new here too?" Fang Tian Nan couldn't help but take a glance at him.

  "Yes, yes... The other person's age was roughly the same as Fang Tian Nan's, but in terms of appearance, he was undoubtedly more delicate. It seemed that his living environment was much better than Fang Tian Nan's. "My name is Gu Xiao Fan, and I'm already 17 years old this year. Alas, I've only just entered the Huajing realm, it's really embarrassing..."

  As he spoke, Gu Xiao Fan still had a embarrassed expression on his face.

  Fang Tian Nan looked on, and couldn't help but feel speechless. To become a martial artist in the realm of transformation at the age of seventeen, if it were the previous Fang Tian Nan, that would already be considered a "miracle". The young man in front of him, however, had an expression of dissatisfaction. Did he not know that among the dozens of new outer sect disciples who took the test previously, those who reached the realm of transformation could be counted on one hand?

  "Right, brother, you're called Fang Tiannan, aren't you?" Gu Xiaofan was initially immersed in his own sorrow, and it wasn't until after a while that he came back to himself, saying to Fang Tiannan, "Later on, you'd better work hard. I'm watching you."

  "Huh, you know me?" Fang Tian Nan was slightly stunned when he heard his name being called out.

  "I don't know." Gu Xiao Fan shook his head and said, "Earlier when we were taking roll call, you were right in front of me."

  "Alright, shouldn't you be expecting me to perform a bit worse?" Fang Tian Nan said thoughtfully. If he were to go on stage and get killed instantly, by the time Gu Xiao Fan's turn came around, even if he performed slightly worse, it wouldn't be too embarrassing.

  "Who would have thought that Gu Xiao Fan, upon hearing this, had a serious expression and said solemnly: "What kind of talk is this? Am I, Gu Xiao Fan, such a person?" Afterwards, Gu Xiao Fan's eyes rolled around, and he deliberately looked around before quietly saying to Fang Tian Nan, "I'm not afraid to tell you, only if the person in front shows strong power will these fellow disciples have some expectations. Otherwise, they'll all be defeated in three to five moves, and they might go all out as soon as they get on stage. Do you think I can hold on for how many moves?"

  "It seems to make some sense." Fang Tian Nan muttered a sentence.

  No wonder Fang Tian Nan had seen it before, there was a powerful warrior who had reached the peak of his strength, and when he accepted the test, he lasted for over a dozen moves. Now thinking back, the people who took the test before him were indeed among the stronger ones among the newly promoted outer door disciples, and they fought against the examiner for dozens of moves before barely losing.

  So that's the reason.
