Chapter 546 Multiple People Pass
Almost half of the disciples who came after them passed the test, with Shui Peng, Lin Ping, and others passing it with ease.
In order not to shock anyone, Lin Ping deliberately held back.
He was thoroughly familiar with the Lotus Flower Sword Technique, and could even improve and upgrade it using Sunrise over the River.
So, with only a 70% resemblance achieved, the head of the Enforcement Hall breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems this kid's talent is only average."
"My husband, how come you've only mastered seven-tenths of the style? You'll never be able to enter Cold Moon Peak with that."
Jiang Yunying said worriedly.
He had already seen the eager expression on his junior brother Mao Shikeng's face, and he was certain that he would not let Lin Ping go.
"Shi Keng, what do you think of this group of outer disciples?" Jiang Yunying asked meaningfully.
She was a fairy in the entire Lotus Palace, and she never took the initiative to speak to anyone. Even he, her junior brother, rarely received such treatment.
At this moment, he was so happy that he let loose and even started to stammer when he spoke:
"Master, Senior Sister, don't worry. I will definitely live up to Master's expectations and do my best to select the disciples who will enter Cold Moon Peak."
Seeing his eager expression, Jiang Yunying knew it was hopeless, and her face turned cold again.
As a person of such aloof nature, she could not possibly lower herself to beg Mao Shikeng.
This kind of person is a classic example of someone who doesn't appreciate kindness.
"Did I say something wrong? Senior Sister seems very angry." Mao Shikeng scratched his head, unaware of Jiang Yunying's thoughts.
Regardless, he believed that Jiang Yunying and the peak master of Hanyue Peak were of one mind. As long as he said some flattering words to the peak master, he could also flatter Jiang Yunying.
Therefore, as long as we do our best to select this time's outer disciples, we can make Jiang Yunying happy.
"Senior sister must be angry because she saw that Lin Ping passed the test. I'll make him pay later!" Mao Shikeng said angrily, already pointing his finger at Lin Ping.
Jiang Mo was the last to pass the test; the mere continuous sword technique posed no challenge for him.
Not to mention the second move, Lotus Blossom, he could learn the third and fourth moves in a short time.
After all, the Crimson Sun Sword Technique is related to the Lotus Sword Technique.
As nearly forty people passed the assessment, the head of the law enforcement hall frowned, his face clouded with worry.
Although the palace master did not set a fixed number, it was far from the established target, so he was bound to be reprimanded.
"We passed! We all passed! We can finally become inner disciples."
Dozens of outer disciples were slow to realize what was happening, and they were as happy as children.
This has been their long-cherished wish for many years; only by entering the inner sect can one be considered a true disciple of the Lotus Palace.
The outer disciples are just cannon fodder, doing the hardest and most tiring work and learning the worst martial arts.
In battle, they must be at the forefront, and even if they win, they must obediently hand over the credit to the inner disciples.
"Does anyone think they are not qualified to enter the inner sect?" the head of the Enforcement Hall asked loudly.
In previous years, this step was insignificant.
All three peaks want to recruit more disciples, so why would they make things difficult for them?
As long as you pass the assessment, you will almost certainly be qualified to enter the inner sect.
This year's situation is very different. Not only did the Palace Master give instructions in secret, but the people of Beidou Peak also felt unhappy with these outer disciples.
“I don’t think they are qualified. The reason they have achieved some success in swordsmanship is because they stole my sword moves, not because they figured it out on their own.”
Ding Zihu stepped forward arrogantly:
"If you want to become an inner disciple, you must defeat me!"
These words caused a huge uproar. He was at the peak of the Blue Lotus realm, and had one foot in the White Lotus realm, yet he wanted to make things difficult for the outer disciples.
It's obvious they don't want them to become inner disciples.
If nothing unexpected happens, he can defeat all of them one by one, and then all the outer disciples will be wiped out.
However, he did not break the rules.
Any inner disciple who has not yet entered the White Lotus Realm is qualified to challenge these outer disciples.
"Damn it, I'll fight you!"
A disciple in his thirties was on the verge of a mental breakdown. He had been stuck in the outer sect for five years and finally passed the assessment, only to be blocked by Ding Zihu. He couldn't bear this injustice any longer.
"Well done! I'll show you what a true lotus bloom is!" Ding Zihu's cold eyes flashed, and he aimed directly at the disciple's chest.
"Come back quickly! He will kill you!" Lin Ping shouted.
This sword was aimed straight at the heart; anyone could see Ding Zihu's murderous intent.
Since the other party accepted the challenge, even if they were killed, it wouldn't violate the palace rules.
Moreover, the head of the Enforcement Hall needs someone like Ding Zihu to establish authority over the outer disciples and discourage them from entering the inner sect. Even if no one can enter the inner sect, there will be no loss.
The disciple had lost his composure and rushed towards Ding Zihu without regard for his own safety, unaware of the threat of death looming over him.
"I'll irradiate you to death, I hope you mutate!" In desperation, Lin Ping turned the X-ray up to the maximum, concentrating all the energy into Ding Zihu's eyes.
In an instant, Ding Zihu's expression became somewhat dazed, and his longsword veered slightly off course.
puff!
The sharp blade pierced the outer disciple's chest, almost grazing his heart and nearly taking his life.
"Dahu, are you alright?" Lin Ping rushed over and hurriedly helped Dahu stop the bleeding.
This sword strike also brought Da Hu back to his senses.
There is still a certain gap between him and a true inner disciple.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't defeat him, I couldn't clear the way for the brothers." Da Hu said in a low voice, blood continuously spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"Don't speak yet. You did a good job. They've gone too far." Lin Ping tried his best to calm Da Hu down. If his heart started pounding, it could cause him to lose too much blood.
"We'll take him down one by one, I refuse to believe he'll never get tired!" an outer disciple said indignantly, already prepared for a rotation tactic.
Little did they know that Ding Zihu was just the first to step forward; many more challenges lay ahead.
If the head of the Enforcement Hall doesn't want them to enter the inner sect, there are a hundred ways to kill them.
"Hmph, I was careless just now, otherwise he would be dead already. Anyone who doesn't want to live, feel free to come and try," Ding Zihu said arrogantly.
Although there is a possibility of injury or death during the competition, no punishment will be imposed according to palace rules, and one cannot directly threaten to kill.
Ding Zihu's arrogance stemmed from the tacit approval of the Enforcement Hall and the support of the Peak Master of Beidou Peak.
He was just being used as a pawn, and he only felt good about himself.
"I, Shui Peng, refuse to accept this!" Shui Peng, who had been unable to contain himself any longer, shouted loudly.
He detested the bullying of the weak and, even if he was no match for Ding Zihu, he would make him pay a price so as to create opportunities for his brothers.
Lin Ping wanted to intervene, but fearing it would delay Da Hu's best treatment period, he could only stand by and watch.
"Just a defeated opponent, do you think you're tired of living?" Ding Zihu said disdainfully to Shui Peng.
“Indeed, he is a defeated opponent, but it’s hard to say who lost to whom.” Jiang Mo stood in front of Shui Peng, angrily facing Ding Zihu.
