Chapter 13: Inner Disciple

  Chapter Thirteen: Inner Disciples

  The assessment has begun.

  Wang Xuanyang followed the crowd into the assessment hall.

  It's called an assessment hall, but in reality it's a strange space that seems to be a huge circular platform. The surroundings are gray and hazy all around, as if it were in a small world.

  Tens of thousands of registered disciples crowded onto this platform, extremely crowded, everywhere was bustling with people, densely packed.

  Anyone in this environment would feel suffocated.

  Soon, most of the named disciples could no longer bear it.

  They are basically nameless disciples who have not condensed their symbols, and it seems that this space has a strange power that can exert great spiritual pressure on those who have not condensed their symbols.

  "Everyone listen up, if you can't bear what's being said, you can crush your ID cards and be escorted out."

  A faint and elusive voice echoed in this space.

  As soon as the voice fell, many named disciples crushed their identity cards and were led out with a flash of light.

  In less than a minute, the originally crowded platform became empty, with at least 90% of the registered disciples disappearing, leaving behind only those who had condensed out their symbols.

  Of course, there are also a very small number of named disciples who have not condensed their symbols and rely on their unyielding will to persist.

  Another minute passed, and there were less than ten named disciples of the Uncondensed Symbol Kind who could still hold on.

  Someone has bitten through their tongue and blood is flowing freely.

  Some eyes stared wide, with a fierce glare, and a trail of blood tears was left behind.

  Some people grasped the ground with both hands, and all ten fingers were rubbed off, their hands a bloody mess.

  They are all using their unparalleled wills to struggle against that intangible spiritual oppression.

  Only those who have condensed out of their own kind of named disciples did not feel any pressure.

  Their symbols can dispel this spiritual oppression.

  Ah!

  Suddenly, a named disciple without a condensing symbol let out a loud roar, smashing his head into the ground with a dull thud, blood flowing from his head, looking extremely miserable, and soon he was on the verge of death.

  But died suddenly and accidentally.

  In a little while, someone else inserted their five fingers into both eyes, and gradually died in agony.

  Many of his disciples who had gathered around him were shocked and terrified by this scene.

  However, they also knew that this was an unspoken rule for these people without a clan symbol, the last chance.

  If one can barely survive under this terrible spiritual suffocation, they will have the opportunity to experience a spiritual breakthrough. In that instant of breakthrough, there will be an unspoken Daoist master who uses divine power to perform a ritual of symbol implantation, allowing people to instantly condense symbols and forcibly break through to the Symbol Apprentice level.

  This is an opportunity for those named disciples who possess a strong will.

  Many named disciples are not lacking in perseverance, but only lack that bit of talent, opportunity, and even resources.

  The reason for this rule is that a certain generation of ancestors of the Unspeakable Sect was once a registered disciple who was eliminated in the assessment, but after being eliminated, he did not give up his pursuit of the Symbolic Way. After going through countless hardships and difficulties, he finally obtained a great opportunity to receive a magnificent symbol from a great existence, successfully laying the foundation, becoming a symbol apprentice, growing step by step, and eventually becoming an ancestor-level existence of the Unspeakable Sect.

  So he established this rule, and for those who did not speak in accordance with the teachings, left a kind of symbolic transmission of the supreme Dharma.

  One after another of registered disciples could not bear the suffocating pressure and died an unnatural death.

  In the end, there were only three people left.

  Two men and one woman.

  Their will is very strong and they are still persisting.

  But they are also approaching their limits.

  Suddenly, the woman's body shook slightly, and a very weak invisible spiritual fluctuation seemed to emanate from her brow.

  This is a sign of spiritual power breaking through.

  This spiritual fluctuation is extremely weak and ordinary practitioners can't sense it at all.

  Those who can sense it on the scene are those who have reached more than 300 base units and are extremely sensitive to spiritual fluctuations.

  They were somewhat surprised.

  "It's truly astonishing, and yet I've had a breakthrough mentally."

  Wang Xuanyang was also shocked beyond measure.

  Although he did not feel suffocated by that kind of spirit, it can be imagined from the performance of these people how much terrible pressure they have endured.

  As the woman's spirit broke through, a milky white light descended from the sky and landed on her crown of head, penetrating deep inside.

  Wang Xuanyang vaguely saw that in this milky white light, there seemed to be a flash of a mysterious shadow.

  The next moment, the woman suddenly opened her eyes, and in the depths of her pupils, a symbol shadow was wandering.

  It has actually broken through to the level of a basic disciple.

  Not long after, the other two also made a breakthrough in spirit, and then they were both bathed in a milky white light from the sky, causing them to break through to the first symbol apprentice level.

  As the symbols converged, that terrible feeling of spiritual suffocation quietly disappeared.

  The three faces showed an extremely strong excitement, they finally became apprentices.

  This means they won't be expelled and can smoothly advance to become outer door disciples.

  Wang Xuanyang watched with his own eyes and felt deeply moved in his heart.

  Now, on the entire platform, there are only a few thousand people left, which is less than one-tenth of the original tens of thousands of registered disciples. This shows how high the elimination rate is.

  "A total of 2,438 people passed the outer door qualification assessment and officially became outer door disciples. Another nine people passed the inner door qualification assessment and became inner door disciples. The ranking assessment is now officially underway."

  That mysterious business has started again.

  Many people were stunned.

  Nine people become inner disciples?

  Isn't it just eight?

  It is well known that only eight people have advanced to the rank of Disciple of the Great Perfection, and are qualified to become inner door disciples. How did an extra person appear?

  Not just ordinary disciples, even the eight great symbol apprentices who were considered geniuses were shocked beyond measure.

  That is to say, there is still a disciple of the apostle who is hidden from view, and they have not made any noise at all. Who are they? How can they hide so well?

  They almost filtered through everyone they could think of in their minds, and apparently none of them met the conditions.

  Who is it?

  All the registered disciples started guessing.

  But Wang Xuanyang remained expressionless, as long as he didn't release his spiritual pressure, no one could detect his cultivation.

  Rumble!

  The void shook, a formless wave of fluctuation suddenly swept across the entire platform, and everyone's mind trembled, feeling as if they were enveloped by an invisible pressure.

  The ranking assessment has finally begun.

  Whoever can persist longer, the noun is also higher.

  Wang Xuanyang also felt unbearable under that intangible pressure, and hastily mobilized the spiritual power in his brain to rotate the symbols. As the symbols rotated, the pressure was gradually resisted.

  It seems that the rotation symbol is effective in resisting oppression.

  Others are also like this.

  However, this intangible pressure was gradually increasing, although the increase was not large, but for those low-ranking disciples who were named, it was a bit unbearable.

  Soon, some registered disciples had no choice but to crush their identity cards and leave the platform.

  Time is passing minute by minute and second by second, and more and more disciples are leaving.

  This kind of pressure is no longer something that can be withstood by a strong will, only a certain breed can endure it.

  This directly tests the symbolic cultivation of the named disciples.

  The same level of symbols, there are also strong and weak distinctions among different types of symbols.

  The strength and weakness of this symbol lies in the spiritual power consumed when it is condensed, the more spiritual power is consumed, the stronger the potential of the symbol. The key to this lies in innate talent, the higher the innate talent, the stronger the potential of the condensed symbol must be.

  Wang Xuanyang's talisman was condensed to the point of materialization from the very beginning, and his own spiritual power was extremely strong, with a soul that could rival twice that of an ordinary person. Therefore, the talismans he condensed were unparalleled in the past and would have no equal in the future.

  Although the pressure was gradually increasing, it had no great impact on him.
