Chapter 53 - Wu Zong's Assessment

  At dawn, Lin Yuan slowly woke up from his meditation. After a night of cultivation, Lin Yuan felt that his true yuan had made another breakthrough and was not far from reaching the half-step pre-heavenly realm. His two main meridians were also about to be unblocked.

  For his own Ren Du Er Mai, Lin Yuan had not opened up a single meridian at this time. If he could open up one meridian, it would be the Ren Meridian, and only then would he truly reach the Half-Step Innate Realm. If both were opened, then he would be a strong practitioner of the Innate Realm.

  Lin Yuan had planned to participate in Wu Zong's test, so he naturally prepared to stay at the inn for a few days. Ten days later, he would go with others to take part.

  As for the route, Lin Yuan had already inquired about it long ago. Naturally, he wouldn't get lost.

  In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed. Lin Yuan had also finished his meditation early. For the past ten days, Lin Yuan had spent almost all his time cultivating, except for necessary rest and meals.

  And these ten days of cultivation, Lin Yuan's own Ren Du had only one acupoint left to be opened, once it was opened, Lin Yuan would immediately enter the Half-Step Pre-Heavenly Realm, and his strength would increase many times over in an instant.

  ————

  Below Wuzong Mountain, at this moment, a large number of martial artists have gathered here.

  Lin Yuan looked around at the martial artists, there were at least a thousand people who came to take the test. As for Wu Zong, they only recruit one hundred people each year, and the age must not exceed twenty years old.

  In these ten days, Lin Yuan also thoroughly inquired about some things within the Wu Zong, after all, the inn was indeed the best place for information to flow.

  In addition, coupled with Lin Yuan's previously exposed strength, everyone in the inn knew that this young man looked young in age but was actually a post-heavenly ninth-realm warrior. When he asked questions, who dared to decline?

  But what surprised Lin Yuan was that during this period, Lin Yuan did not suffer from any provocation or revenge, as if the previous incident between Lin Yuan and the head of the Zhao family had never happened.

  According to Lin Yuan's understanding, the Zhao family was attached to the Sun family. With Zhao Wu Liang's personality, he was absolutely not a magnanimous person. But what surprised Lin Yuan was that nothing happened at all. In these ten days, Lin Yuan was completely unscathed.

  In the Wu Zong, it is divided into inner and outer gates. Disciples who have entered the Xiantian realm will be transferred from the outer gate to the inner gate. Before becoming an inner disciple, they must also undergo assessment.

  Inner door disciples, core disciples, outer door elders, inner door elders, this is all the information Lin Yuan knows.

  Outer sect disciples, every year there are people joining, but every year can be from the outer sect disciples to join the inner sect disciples is very few. Although so, in the martial arts sect, innate high-hand is still not a few, Lin Yuan even heard that, above the innate, there are even stronger high-hand guarding the martial arts sect, among which the sect master of the martial arts sect is a warrior who transcends the innate boundary.

  Lin Yuan finally understood why the three major families of Fenglin County relied on Wu Zong, and that the inner door disciples were only at the Xiantian boundary, with core disciples among them. What elder, this is simply incomparable.

  "There are indeed many people today." Lin Yuan sighed.

  "This Wu Zong is extremely strict when it comes to accepting disciples. You, Yun Er, don't be careless for a moment or you'll be eliminated." A person standing next to Lin Yuan who was clearly the young man's senior said.

  "Don't worry, Uncle Wang." The young man nodded.

  ……

  Today, the Wuzong Gate is wide open, allowing outsiders to enter freely. Lin Yuan also followed the crowd into it.

  Among the bustling crowds were people from all sides who wanted to join Wu Zong's cultivation.

  "Father, I will definitely work hard and enter Wu Zong in one move."

  "Wuzong, I have made up my mind!"

  "I must become a disciple of Wu Zong, as long as I do, Lian'er will agree to be my wife."

  "Haha, entering Wu Zong, with a promising start, at that time, none of you will be able to escape."

  One by one, the warriors gritted their teeth and seethed with hot blood, while many attendants, family members, friends and others stood beside them.

  "Thousands and thousands of people." Lin Yuan clicked his tongue.

  Just as the crowd was making a ruckus, a thick voice and an aura that surpassed the Post-Heaven realm came from afar. "All those over 20 years old, including those who brought children, please leave. Only participants are allowed to enter. Those who wish to join my Wu Zong, listen up! Anyone who wants to join Wu Zong must follow our rules." The middle-aged man said one sentence at a time.

  And some of the young people below, after hearing these words, were shocked and had a purple face. But under the terrifying pressure of this person, they didn't dare to do anything else.

  The crowd suddenly boiled up again with a loud noise.

  "Right, from now on, all those who have not left will be abolished when discovered." The middle-aged man glanced around. After a while, his eyes suddenly returned, and he turned to leave. As he left, his eyes looked in the direction of Lin Yuan for a moment.

  Some warriors below heard what the middle-aged man said, some were disappointed, and some even cried loudly, but in the end they still had to leave.

  Lin Yuan also clearly felt the terror of that aura, which was not something his current aura could compare to. Just now he had also secretly released his own aura to resist, but it was only barely enough to feel the pressure's existence, and yet, Lin Yuan's back was still chilled at this moment.

  Especially when the middle-aged man was about to leave, he looked at Lin Yuan with a glance that made Lin Yuan's heart palpitate.

  "Could it be that this person has discovered something?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.

  Just as the middle-aged man turned and left, a group of black-clad outer sect disciples and a blue-robed inner sect disciple appeared from behind him.

  "Now it's our turn to test, first level, feel the bones"

  "Next."

  "Uh-huh, your pulse is insufficient and has some blockages, go down."

  "Next."

  "You've been crippled for life and can't make any progress, what are you doing here, get out!"

  "Next."

  "The channel is not wide enough, go down."

  "Next."

  "Okay, I suppose it's barely acceptable, let's get started then."

  "Not bad, top-notch innate talent, expected to enter Xiantian."

  Lin Yuan's ears clearly distinguished the sound, and upon hearing the distant voice, he couldn't help but be shocked. Just by looking at their physical qualities, most of them had already been eliminated, showing just how strict the requirements were.

  A moment.

  Lin Yuan had just walked to the front when he saw the scene in the distance and couldn't help but sigh. The conditions were too harsh, and in just a short while, hundreds of people had been eliminated, with only a dozen or so successfully entering.

  Lin Yuan wasn't very clear about the concept of "mó gǔ" (touching bones), and as for innate talent, Lin Yuan was even more unclear. However, in his heart, Lin Yuan thought that his own innate talent was still pretty good.

  One by one, participants were either eliminated and had to leave reluctantly, or they passed and were arranged to the other side, waiting for the next round of testing.

  Finally, it was Linyuan's turn to take the test.

  Whoosh!

  Lin Yuan instantly transformed into an illusion and appeared beside him.

  "Really?"

  When he saw Lin Yuan suddenly appear beside him, his mouth also let out a soft hum, but quickly calmed down. Of course, Lin Yuan was doing it on purpose.

  The middle-aged man with black hair glanced at Ji Ning and said, "Speed is fast, no need to show off."

  "Your name is Lin Yuan, come over for a test." The blue-clothed inner disciple still had an indifferent expression, not shocked at all by Lin Yuan's speed.

  This was also Lin Yuan's first time feeling so close to a warrior in the Innate Realm, just now, for that middle-aged man, it was only a contact of aura, this time, no more than two meters.

  Before Lin Yuan could finish thinking, a hand suddenly landed on his left hand.

  "Huh?" Lin Yuan felt as if his entire body's muscles, bones, and skin were all being pierced through.

  "Huh? Ninefold Blue later?" The blue-clad youth looked at Lin Yuan in surprise, then nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, and you're only sixteen years old, meeting the requirements. Your talent is superior, your innate abilities are top-notch, passed."

  "Uh-huh." The young man in blue smiled and nodded, "Go ahead, don't be careless for a moment, maybe you'll have the chance to become my junior brother."

  "Thank you." Lin Yuan slightly bowed his head, but in his heart he was secretly shocked.

  He never thought that this congenitally strong person would be so fierce, and he could see his own boundary at a glance. Although he deliberately released his aura, even the few outer disciples who participated in the bone search didn't notice it. He didn't expect this young man to know his boundary just by looking at him once.

  The strong since birth is indeed different from others!

  And as for what the young man said, Lin Yuan also seemed to understand a bit.

  The young man said that he might become his own junior, which means that one day, he will enter the Xiantian realm. Perhaps at this moment, the blue-clothed youth already regards himself as his junior. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so polite.

  However, Lin Yuan was still somewhat curious about his own talent. At his age, he had reached such a level and yet wasn't even considered a top-tier talent. It seemed that his understanding of this world was far from sufficient, as there were many people with exceptional talents beyond his estimation.
