As one of the hosts of this disciple recruitment, Huayun Xianzi was naturally very clear about the difficulty of the final test. This junior 'Huachong' had no chance of success at all.

  "You eight follow me." The black-haired man said.

  Six former Taoist priests walked in front, and Ji Ning and eight others followed behind.

  Ji Ning glanced at the black-clad young man beside him, whose eyes had a hint of desperation and madness. His aunt, Hua Yun Xianzi... held an extremely high position in the Hua Clan, although the Hua Clan had a Deity sitting in charge. However, Hua Yun Xianzi was a Yuan Shen Dao cultivator from the Black and White Academy, with combat strength that could rival that of ordinary Deities.

  Hua Yun Xianzi's words, he generally must respect. But... Hei Bai Academy, he must enter. He wants to enter Hei Bai Academy like his aunt!

  "You must go in."

  "Heaven will always leave a thread of life." The young man in black gritted his teeth.

  ……

  After walking for a while along the deep mountain cave, I came to a fork in the road, and nine forks appeared in front of me.

  "Halt." The black-haired man spoke up.

  Ji Ning and eight others all stopped.

  "These nine forks, each have a purple mansion disciple of my Black and White Academy guarding them." The black-haired man's gaze swept towards Ji Ning and the others, "You eight people, each choose one fork."

  Ji Ning and eight others changed their faces one by one.

  What.

  Hei Bai Xue Gong's official Zifu disciples are guarding? Those are all disciples who have cultivated some top-notch techniques and methods. And oneself and others, one by one, in terms of Lian Qi, are all early-stage Zifu.

  "After you enter your respective paths, you will encounter the guardian disciples. As long as you break through their obstruction... and rush out of the cave, you will be my Black and White Academy's disciples." A smile appeared on the black-haired man's face. "Don't worry, the guardian Purple Mansion disciples are only allowed to use one method. You, however, can go all out... and there is no need to defeat the guardian disciples, as long as you rush out of the cave it will be considered a success. Afterwards, we will gather at the summit of this mountain peak."

  "Yes."

  Ji Ning and eight others all responded in unison.

  "Alright, go." The black-haired man ordered.

  They quickly chose a fork in the road, and Ji Ning also chose one after a moment's thought. Only the black-clad man hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and entering a passageway.

  Everyone has entered their own channel.

  "Wu Xiu." The short, fat bald man smiled. "This time the recruitment of disciples is mainly up to you from start to finish, so I'll ask you: among these eight people, how many do you think can become a disciple of my Black and White Academy?"

  "Let me think..." The black-haired youth hesitated for a moment, "Eight people. Ji Ning will definitely make it!"

  "Uh-huh."

  "Right, he definitely will."

  "Everyone knows Ji Ning will definitely make it, Wu Xiu said with a smile. As for the other seven, who do you think will make it?"

  One by one, smiling and talking.

  The black-haired youth thought for a moment and said, "Among these eight people, only Ji Ning has a full ten points of assurance. The other seven are all in danger. To be honest... that fourteen-year-old Mu Zishuo who controlled the green dragon puppet might also make it."

  "Uh-huh."

  "Yes, except for Ji Ning, everyone else is in danger, especially that clansman of Hua Yunxiang. He barely made it through the Thunderbolt Puppet Great Array with some luck, but he definitely won't make it this time."

  "Everyone knows you're clever." The woman in white glared at the long-bearded old man.

  ……

  When those Yuan Shen Tao people were discussing and speculating, they also simultaneously released their divine consciousness to observe everything that happened in each of the mountain caves.

  "Drinking blood and asking for a sword."

  "Ji Ning chose the corridor, which was guarded by a small child of the Blood Drinking Clan. The Blood Drinking Clan's sword was very proud and would not easily let Ji Ning pass." Those Yuan Shen Dao people were leisurely observing everything that happened in the eight corridors.

  Inside the corridor chosen by Ji Ning.

  At about thirty zhang from the entrance, a young man in white clothes was standing upright. On the chest of this young man in white clothes were three drops of blood. The white clothes with three drops of blood on the chest... only the talented sons and daughters recognized by the Blood Drinkers' Clan had the qualifications to wear them.

  Xīn Xuè Shì...... is a top-notch large clan outside of ān Bō Jùn.

  "Let me guard?" The white-clothed youth, Drinking Blood and Asking Sword, stood there, with a flying sword floating in front of him. He lightly stretched out his finger and plucked it lightly, and the humming sound of the sword instantly echoed through the mountain cave, causing him to involuntarily close his eyes and reveal an expression of enjoyment. "No matter how great your talent is, as long as you choose my guarded mountain cave, you will never succeed."

  The arrogant Xue Xian's pride wouldn't allow him to let a junior who was only in the early stages of the Violet Palace successfully pass through.

  A sword...

  "It's enough for me to be allowed to use this sword alone." The young man in white clothes plucked the sword again, listening to its hum, as if the sword was being coy with him, and he smiled.

  He slept with a wooden sword in his arms from the day he was born.

  His parents named him 'Wen Jian', thirty years of cultivation, his achievements were all on the sword, he was like a sword himself, and the sword was himself. Although he possessed the Xue Xue's ultimate skill, the Xue Xue still sent him to the Hei Bai Academy in Anping County, and he did not disappoint everyone by entering the Hei Bai Academy.

  "It's here." The young man in white felt the fluctuation.

  Suddenly, a helpless voice came from outside: "Nine paths, eight adventurers. None of my paths have been chosen... Fellow masters and brothers, don't let those younger generations pass through."

  "Don't worry, Brother Niu."

  "Niu Shidi, you're really pitiful."

  "I've been waiting for so long."

  "Niu Shixiong, although I can only use this one treasure, those juniors will absolutely not be able to pass through me."

  One sound after another rose up.

  "Brother Niu, please wait for a moment. Let me defeat that little brat first, then we can head back together."

  Footsteps sounded.

  Xue Xing asked Jian to take a closer look, and soon saw a figure emerging from the depths of a distant mountain cave. It was a handsome young man wearing animal hide, holding a sword in each hand, with a smile on his face as he approached.

  "Junior." Xue Xue asked the sword to lightly tap the flying sword in front of him, and the sound of the sword's hum rose. He said calmly, "Remember clearly, the one who blocked your way to the Black and White Academy is me, Xue Xue Ask Sword."

  "Before..." Ji Ning was about to speak.

  "No need to say." Xue Xun said calmly, "We won't meet again in the future. You don't have to report your name either."

  Ji Ning furrowed her brow.

  That's crazy.

  In that case... let's just win decisively then.

  "Lei Ze descends!" Xue Xun whispered, and as soon as his voice came out, the flying sword in front of him suddenly emitted a loud thunderous sound. Surrounding it were flashes of lightning, countless bolts of electricity encircled the flying sword, which then shot towards Ji Ning with an astonishing display of power.

  The power of this sword alone far surpasses Xu Liri Zhenren and Xi Niu Yao.

  The sword seemed to have transformed into endless lightning. Attacking swiftly and shockingly fast.

  "The lotus blooms." Ji Ning smiled slightly, and suddenly the water and fire around him burst into bloom. Layer after layer bloomed, a full six layers of lotus leaves.

  Hehehe~~~

  A lightning-fast sword pierced through the six layers of lotus leaves, its power slightly reduced. Ji Ning's Northern Frost Sword seemed to make a simple turn, but it had already diverted that powerful and swift sword to one side.

  "What a powerful force." Ji Ning's eyebrows furrowed slightly, seemingly simple to take the next sword, but also made his tiger mouth crack open.

  "As expected, you have some real power, but it's useless!" Xue Xie shouted loudly, "Lei Shen Zhi Yu!"

  Only that flying sword was seen floating in the air, and around it began to appear a series of purple-glowing electric snakes, which vaguely formed a cage-like shape. A strong sense of oppression permeated the entire cave.

  "You fell under this move of mine, you can be proud of yourself too." Xue Xun drank coldly and said, "Leave."

  Boom!

  Thunderbolts and lightning illuminate the dark prison, swiftly arriving with a solemn and majestic air.

  "It's no wonder you're a disciple of the Black and White Academy. With just one flying sword, you can wield the power of heaven and earth to such an extent." Ji Ning exclaimed, and suddenly 729 flying swords appeared out of thin air around him.

  "Crossed Swords!" The distant Blood-Drinking Sword suddenly changed its expression.

  Anything related to "arrays" should not be underestimated, and the more flying swords there are. If all the power can be perfectly gathered together, the power will also rise geometrically! As a disciple of Hei Bai Xue Gong, Yin Xue naturally has sword array techniques, but this time defending the pass, he can only use one sword.

  Seven hundred and twenty-nine flying swords floated in mid-air.

  He had a total of eighty-one flying swords, which were the nine flying swords from the 'Nine Yang Sword Formation' that Ji Ning obtained in the Water Palace, and the seventy-two flying swords he obtained after killing Xu Li True Man. Although there were some other flying swords of human grade, they were not enough in number, and their types were mixed, so Ji Ning did not use them.

  The nine flying swords of the Jiuyang Sword Formation are the core of the formation. The other seventy-two human-grade flying swords that share the same origin surround it, forming an eighty-one sword flying sword array.

  These eighty-one flying swords led the other six hundred and more flying swords that did not enter the stage.

  "Hmm..."

  Ji Ning's yuan force transformed through the flying sword, reaching a divine soul level where he could fully control over 700 flying swords. Soon, a strand of incredibly powerful sword energy condensed at his chest.

  Its power is so great that it's frightening.

  The reason why its power is so great is mainly because of the nine flying swords obtained from Shuǐ Fǔ, each one of which is no less than a terrestrial law treasure, and they also come from the same origin, making them even more rare.

  "Kill!"

  Ji Ning's heart moved slightly.

  Whoosh!

  A completely condensed flying sword-like sword tip broke through the air and violently struck the incoming Thunder Prison. Boom! The Thunder Prison persisted for a moment before violently exploding.

  "Go, go, go." Ji Ning consecutively condensed three sword auras, all of which heavily struck forward.

  "Not good."

  Xue's face changed greatly as he asked about the sword.

  He is after all just a Zifu, while Ji Ning's sword edge, transformed from the Small Thousand Swords Array, has a purity comparable to that of the Wanxiang True Person. In terms of swordsmanship... he has absorbed the essence of the Xue Shi and Hei Bai academies, so naturally he is stronger. But in terms of realm, Ji Ning is one step higher. Therefore, as soon as Ji Ning makes a move with his Small Thousand Swords Array, it is actually him who is at a disadvantage.

  "Big Dipper." Drinking Blood Asking Sword was unable to, in an instant seven flying swords emitting lightning appeared around him, the seven flying swords surrounded him, for a moment, huge stars floated around him, exactly the Big Dipper Seven Stars.

  "Enough!" Xue Xian's voice was low and menacing.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  Ji Ning's three strands of sword energy were all dispersed by the slowly rotating Big Dipper.

  "Hmph." Xue Xingyun sheathed his flying sword and transformed into a stream of light, flying away. By rights, he was only allowed to use one flying sword... Since he had been forced to use his other treasures, naturally, he had lost.

  "It's really impressive." Ji Ning watched as the black and white disciple of the 'Drinking Blood and Asking for Sword' sect left, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. "It must be a restriction from the sect that he can only use one flying sword. If he were to use his true abilities...he could instantly suppress my Small Thousand Swords Array. After all, he is at the Purple Mansion's completion stage, while I am still at the Purple Mansion's initial stage...the difference in our yuan power is quite apparent when facing someone with similar extraordinary talent."

  Ji Ning didn't know...

  Actually, Mingming just needed to fly out of the cave entrance, but Ji Ning forced the guardian to take out his true skills.

  "Hei Bai Xue Gong." Ji Ning strolled out of the cave, stepped onto a small boat, and gazed at the endless mountain scenery around him. From this moment on, he truly became a member of Hei Bai Xue Gong.
