Chapter 21 Year-end Assessment (below)

Chapter 21 year-end examination (next)

The crowd of disciples broke out a gasp of surprise, before so many people, are just qualified, only this Qi Hao one person, even got excellent results.

Listening to the envy and shouts of surprise from the surrounding area, Qi Hao’s face is vaguely self-satisfied, once again rushed to the crowd of stewards after a salute, fluttering jumped off the demonstration stage.

And after he returned to the new disciples, he was greeted with compliments and praise from the other disciples. This Spirit Sword Art maneuver had heck won him a lot of prestige.

After all, at a time when other disciples couldn’t even afford a defense-type spirit weapon, being able to possess a flying sword spirit weapon could be said to make a cultivator of the same rank invincible.

After all, an aura shield condensed with spiritual energy, even though it was able to withstand a spell like the fireball spell, it couldn’t block a single blow from a flying sword.

Xu Chuniang frowned, it could be seen that Qi Haozhi had definitely put in some hard work for the Spirit Sword Art, his flying sword speed was not slow, and it had to be extremely dexterous.

“If I were to be hit by his flying sword ……”

Xu Chuniang subconsciously imagined the scene of herself being hit by a flying sword, she did not have a defensive technique, and she did not have a defensive spirit weapon, not to mention being hit by a flying sword, even if she was hit by a fireball technique, she would have lost half of her life.

For a while, her expression was grave, constantly pondering on countermeasures, and she didn’t even have the heart to watch the following demonstration.

One after another, some people went up to the stage to demonstrate their techniques, but after seeing the Spirit Sword Technique of Fang Cai, the disciples only felt that the rest of the techniques were mediocre, and even began to comment on these techniques.

“Hahaha, what kind of art is this? Getting down on the ground and disguising yourself as a boulder?”

“This should be some sort of concealment type of jutsu, but it’s a bit too ugly to look at.”

Hearing the commotion, Xu Chuniang stabilized her mind and looked towards the stage, only to see a disciple sprawled on the ground in an odd position, with an earth-colored aura lingering around him. Under the cover of this aura, his entire person was also shadowed, and from afar he looked unremarkable at all, like a stone on the side of the road.

It was just that his cultivation might not be up to scratch, and a few more glances would reveal his disguise.

“Hahaha, what kind of trash art is this, just a little closer and you can break this low level disguise!”

“It would be better to learn this than to learn a light body art, when you get hit you can still run, this art is too stupid, squatting in place and pretending to be a stone, resting here to cover your ears.”

The surrounding disciples scattered a burst of laughter.

Xu Chuniang, however, had a change of heart, right, why did she forget about the Light Body Technique!

Since Qi Haozhi practiced the Spirit Sword Technique, she had been thinking about how to defend against flying swords, and after thinking for a long time, she couldn’t come up with a way, but what if she didn’t defend and chose to dodge?
The more Xu Chuniang thought about it, the more feasible she felt, her current speed made it difficult to dodge flying swords, but if she learned a stance-type technique to increase her speed, dodging flying swords wasn’t too difficult.

Although Qi Haozhi was able to use flying swords, he was only at the second level of Qi cultivation, so how long could he last?
Xu Chuniang made up her mind that when the examination was over and she received her benefits for the new year, she was going to go and buy a Body Technique type of art to defend herself. Fear not the ten thousand, fear not the ten thousand.

This examination only tested the level of spell casting and didn’t care about the level of the spell, the disciple who had disguised the stone on the stage passed the examination with flying colors.

Only this disciple passed, face did not have half a bit of joy, but a face of frustration, obviously those people below said the words he heard.

Cui Li looked at the commotion below, a hint of hesitation flashed across his face, “Uncle Mu, the disciples are making a bit of a commotion, should I speak out to stop them?”

The female steward sitting at the top opened her eyes, she was the Master Mu in Cui Li’s words, it turned out that this steward of the Transmission Pavilion was actually a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Steward Mu shook his head, “My Easy Sect, as long as it doesn’t involve the door rules, no matter what happens between disciples, they will not intervene. This is true even in the inner sect.” Cui Li nodded, he originally had a number in his heart, asking one more question was just to make sure.

Several resourceful disciples down below had also been keeping an eye on the movements of the crowd of stewards, seeing that they simply ignored the situation down below, they put their hearts down and commented on the maneuvers on the stage, even more nonchalantly.

“Yo, this is a gold system technique, Golden Armor Technique, right?”

“That’s right, I’m also of the gold system, and at that time, I also looked at this art, only that the above will be more difficult to cultivate, so I chose another book.”

“After this Golden Armor Art is cast, it is able to make the Golden Aura cover the whole body, forming a thin layer of armor, and metallicity is the strongest aura among the five elements, so with this layer of armor, it is both offensive and defensive.”

“This Golden Armor Technique is really good, one technique but with two effects. I’m afraid this is the strongest technique besides Qi Haozhi’s Spirit Sword Technique!”

Xu Chuniang looked up towards the stage, but shook her head.

This Golden Armor Technique was indeed powerful, but the amount of Spiritual Qi consumed was also almost as much as twice that of a technique of the same rank. If it was in a real battle, one would only need to avoid it and wait for the aura on his body to run out, and then he could easily win.

One by one, the new disciples went up to the stage to practice, and soon there were a few more disciples who used spiritual weapons, and these few people all got “excellent” results, attracting the attention of the crowd.

After all, while most people were still holding out for one or two spirit stones, these people who had the money to purchase spirit weapons were almost standing out from the crowd. And these people, without exception, were all people with cultivation backgrounds.

Looking at the spiritually charged spirit weapons, Xu Chuniang was similarly salivating, only she didn’t need to think about it to know that they were all sky-high prices for her right now.

“Don’t think about it, spirit weapons and whatnot, it’s still early for me.”

Xu Chuniang shook her head sorrowfully, instead of thinking about this, it was better to think about what stance would be the best to choose.

She had also seen several body techniques under here, the one that the disciples used the most was the Light Body Technique, followed by the wind-based Wind Sentry Technique and Wind Stealth Technique.

The wind-based techniques were more effective, but she didn’t have a wind spirit root, so the attribute-less Light Body Technique, Sprinting Technique and the like were more suitable for her.

“Next, Xu Chuniang.”

Just as Xu Chuniang was getting entangled, she heard a soft bellow, and it turned out to be her turn to maneuver on stage.

After waiting for such a long time, Xu Chunniang had already thought of the techniques she wanted to practice, excluding the Earth Moistening Technique that she hadn’t even started learning yet, she knew a total of three techniques: the Spirit Rain Technique, the Spring Born Technique, and the Hidden Spirit Determination.

Of course, she did not intend to use the Spirit Dew Art, the Spirit Explosion Art, and the “Spirit Revealing Decree” that could make her cultivation appear higher than it really was, which had evolved from these three techniques.

At first, when she watched the crowd demonstrating their techniques, Xu Chuniang thought that the others were also like her, able to develop the infinite uses of the techniques, but after watching from below for a long time, she found that none of them were able to do so, and many of them were even unskilled in the control of the techniques.

Most likely, then, this flexible use of jutsu was unique to her.

Xu Chuniang pondered in her heart that in the future, when using these new types of arts, she would have to cover them up slightly and not let others see the signs.
