Chapter 70: The Assessment Begins
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“D*mn, I did not expect that even the consecrators would make an appearance and spectate the Law Enforcement Hall’s assessment this year!” “It has to be because of how amazing Junior Sister Chen’s talents are!”
“Yeah, the consecrators probably want to see just how strong Junior Sister Chen is!”
“Right, right. Junior Sister Chen is the most talented person to have appeared in our Five Halls in recent years!”
The disciples all discussed animatedly.
All of them had high hopes for Chen Qingke.
With her talent, they believed that she would definitely have no trouble in passing the assessment.
When the people from the Law Enforcement Hall finally made their appearance, the examination began.
The person in charge of the assessment this time was Fang Ao!
He had a late-stage foundation establishment cultivation and was an officer of the Law Enforcement Hall.
During this assessment, he was also the person who would be fighting these five disciples.
In other words, he would be the one to determine if these disciples had passed the test.
However, it was obvious that Fang Ao’s gaze was set on Li Ming the moment he came out.
Fang Ao still remembered the last time he was provoked by Li Ming.
He had still not let go of what had happened back then.
However, with the consecrators around, Fang Ao naturally did not dare to be too obvious with his actions.
He immediately shifted his gaze to Chen Qingke.
“Junior Sister Chen, you’ll be the first one up.”
“Alright everyone, listen carefully. If you pass this assessment for new disciples, then the hall that each of you is in will reward you and aid you in your cultivation.”
“Of course, if you fail, you will be punished by the Law Enforcement Hall!” Fang Ao continued.
This assessment was neither rigorous nor complex. It was purely a test of the strength of the new disciples.
As for the venue, it was held directly in front of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Hearing Fang Ao’s words, Chen Qingke walked out according to the rules even though she did not like him. She cupped her hands and said to Fang Ao, “Senior Brother Fang, please advise me.”
“Junior Sister, please enlighten me.”
Chen Qingke looked on calmly and got into her stance.
In her latest mission, Chen Qingke experienced a life-and-death battle.
That encounter greatly benefited her skills in combat.
Moreover, her cultivation level had also increased rapidly since then. At this moment, she was also only one step away from reaching the late stage of the foundation establishment realm!
And this assessment presented her with a great opportunity.
Seeing Chen Qingke raise her hands, Fang Ao did not hesitate any longer.
After all, this was an assessment. He was supposed to take it very seriously!
Chen Qingke was known as a heaven’s favorite and she also had one of the best, if not the best, talent in qi cultivation that the sect Divine Will Sect had seen in recent years.
The magical art that she had mastered was the Cauldron Transformation Art.
Of course, besides that, Chen Qingke already possessed her own natal magical treasure.
Her natal magical treasure was also a treasured sword just like Li Ming!
The assessment began.
Chen Qingke did not show any hesitation as she made her move. Her gaze was calm as she looked at Fang Ao. Then, in the next moment, spiritual qi gathered from around her and her figure fluttered around. Due to her movements, Chen Qingke looked like she had turned into smoke as she swiftly rushed toward Fang Ao!
Her sword was sharp, and the moment her spiritual qi erupted, the sword qi around Chen Qingke bloomed like a lotus flower.
While it was dazzling and beautiful, it also brought with it a fatal danger!
Each blade of sword qi was extremely sharp and could easily cut through flesh!
At this time, it was as if there was a lotus that bloomed with every single one of Chen Qingke’s steps as her spiritual qi erupted unceasingly!
“This is a high-grade yellow-tier sword art!”
“It’s the Green Lotus Sword Art!”
“Hiss! ”
“Junior Sister Chen truly is worthy of being regarded as a genius!”
“I’ve been studying this sword art for two years now, but I have still yet to master it!”
Many disciples clapped and cheered when they saw Chen Qingke perform the Green Lotus Sword Art.
Li Ming watched from the sidelines, and a smile surfaced on his face.
Chen Qingke’s talent was indeed enviable. Even Li Ming himself felt quite envious.
After all, he was someone who had been born without any talents.
If Li Ming had not come across the entry system, and if he had not obtained any useful entries, he would have remained an ant in the world of cultivation for the entirety of his life!
Without the fateful encounters and rewards that he had obtained, he would have no hope of ever becoming an immortal.
It was those who possessed great talents from the very start that were true geniuses.
Chen Qingke, who was currently taking the test, was obviously such a person.
“Junior Sister Chen is truly very talented. She will definitely become one of the pillars of the Divine Will Sect in the future.”
Lu Lan was also very happy to see Chen Qingke’s performance.
Hearing this, Li Ming was curious. “Senior Sister, your talent should be similar to junior sister’s, and your cultivation is even higher than hers.”
“I believe that the two of you will both become pillars of the sect in the future.”
Li Ming said with a smile. However, Lu Lan shook her head and did not say anything in return.
At this moment, Chen Qingke’s swordsmanship converged, and green lotuses burst out from her natal magical treasure , instantly enveloping Fang Ao!
Its power was astonishing!
If one did not have a defensive magical treasure or a strong physical body, they would be crushed by this move!
However, it was obvious that Fang Ao had a defensive magical treasure.
As a late-stage foundation establishment cultivator and a member of the sect’s Law Enforcement Hall, he naturally had a lot of good things. “Junior Sister, you really are talented.”
“However, this move does not have much of an effect on me.”
Fang Ao chuckled and raised his hand. Then, a black rod appeared in his hand. With a wave of his hand, countless rays of black spiritual qi surged and instantly dissolved the sword qi that trapped him!
At the same time, Fang Ao took a step forward. He waved the black rod in his hand and smashed it directly at Chen Qingke!
All of his movements looked extremely gorgeous, and the power that erupted was not to be taken lightly either.
The two of them clashed fiercely!
As the sword and black rod struck each other, the clanging sound resounded in everyone’s ears.
While the battle before them was a battle between two qi cultivation foundation establishment cultivators, it instead looked more like a battle between body cultivators.
However, they were not body refiners, so they could not keep this up for a long time.
Such close combat was not only a competition of the density of one’s spiritual qi, but also the quality of one’s body.
However, it was obvious that neither Fang Ao, who was in the late stage of the foundation establishment realm, nor Chen Qingke could withstand extended exertions of their physical body.
The exhaustion of their stamina forced them to choose to end the battle
Chen Qingke withdrew her sword, and she raised her hand to summon a bronze cauldron!
It was the Cauldron Transformation Art that Chen Qingke was best at!
A huge cauldron appeared.
The veined patterns on the cauldron were clear and apparent. Although the cauldron had not yet completely materialized, it was already very close!
The huge cauldron swayed and let out a series of buzzing sounds!
The spiritual qi that swirled around with her movements were thick and shocking.
Under Chen Qingke’s control, the cauldron suddenly came smashing down!
Fang Ao stared at the cauldron as it came right at him. The power that erupted from the cauldron had already reached the late-stage foundation establishment realm!
From this, it could be seen that Chen Qing was indeed talented.
This caused Fang Ao to have a lot of thoughts.
If he could not get such a woman, he could not let her continue to grow.
As this thought flashed through his mind, Fang Ao did not dare to be negligent. He formed a hand seal and the black rod in his hand burst forth. He actually condensed the gathered black spiritual qi into a huge black wolf head!
It opened its bloody maw and lunged directly at Chen Qingke’s bronze cauldron!
Boom!
The two manifestations of spiritual qi collided!
The sound of an explosion instantly erupted with astonishing might!
Visible for everyone to see, the black wolf had managed to instantly tear the bronze cauldron apart!
The aftershock caused the two people on the field to retreat.
Regardless, it was obvious that Chen Qingke had passed the assessment.
However, just as Fang Ao slowed down and was about to unwillingly announce that Chen Qingke had passed the assessment, a powerful spiritual qi fluctuation instantly drew everyone’s attention!
