Chapter 22 - Just Enough"Next is the final group examination..."
The Hao Yue Martial Palace"s instructor in charge of the a.s.sessment said, and everyone"s attention immediately turned from He Chao to him.
Only the last group was left?
Chu Hen frowned slightly. It seemed that he would not be able to partic.i.p.ate in the a.s.sessment today.
Mouse also helplessly shook his head, before patting Chu Hen on the shoulder and laughing, "It"s fine, just wait a few more days! Anyway, there are a lot of people who want to register for Hao Yue Martial House! "
Chu Hen smiled and nodded.
One by one, the young students went up to the platform, along with the teachers in charge of the a.s.sessment.
Most of the people had nervous expressions on their faces. It was definitely not an easy thing to endure one fourth of an incense"s worth of time from Liu Meng.
Other than testing everyone"s teamwork, one would at least need to have a genius like He Chao who was able to become the leader. Only then would they have a huge hope of pa.s.sing.
After a short while, nearly thirty people had gathered on the stage.
"Huh?" The instructor in charge of the a.s.sessment suddenly let out a surprised sound.
What was going on? What happened?
Everyone looked confused.
The man frowned, then said, "I"m sorry, I calculated incorrectly. You only have 29 people, but not a whole group …"
"d.a.m.n, it can"t be!"
"What a hammer!" We couldn"t beat him in the first place, so we"re still missing one person. "
… ….
All sorts of complaints rose and fell, and even the teacher in charge of the exam was in a bit of a dilemma. After all, he couldn"t control the total number of people in each exam. He would often encounter many people, or a few less people.
Normally, this sort of situation would occur during the next exam.
However, there was only one person missing today. If they waited until the next time, it would inevitably make people angry.
"Quite a bit, it just so happens that there"s one more here …."
At this moment, Mouse rushed up the platform like a wisp of smoke and said to the examiner, "Instructor Li Wei, there just happened to be a student who signed up."
"Oh?"
Everyone"s eyes lit up.
Mouse hurriedly waved at Chu Hen. "Junior Brother Chu Hen, come over here quickly, hehe, you"re really lucky …"
Everyone"s gaze landed on Chu Hen, upon seeing this unfamiliar handsome face, the twenty-nine people on the stage shook their heads at the same time.
"Who is this?"
"Who knows? "I don"t know him."
"He probably came from some small place."
… ….
Amidst everyone"s soft discussion, Chu Hen steadily walked up the stage.
Instructor Li Wei gave him a cursory glance, and immediately took a brush dipped in ink from another Hao Yue Martial House member beside him.
"Name, age, and place of residence?"
"Chu Hen, sixteen, from Lin Yan City." Mouse answered.
Upon hearing the three words "Lin Yan City", the stage was immediately filled with sighs.
Each and every one of them looked at Chu Hen with eyes filled with disdain and disregard.
In the few places around the Capital City, the Lin Yan City could be said to be the smallest city.
Furthermore, with Chu Hen"s reserved appearance, he did not look that eye-catching.
Therefore, in everyone"s eyes, adding him alone wouldn"t be of much use.
The instructor Li Wei felt that Chu Hen"s arrival was perfect, so he casually filled in Chu Hen"s basic information on the registration form. He immediately told the last group of students, "Alright, the thirty of you have ten minutes to discuss tactics …"
"No need!"
Just as Li Wei finished speaking, a young man walked out. He was handsome, his entire body was releasing a sharp sword force, this sword force was extremely similar to the genius He Chao, who was in the previous group.
"There"s no need to waste anymore time …" The young man glanced at Chu Hen with a gaze filled with contempt, and said indifferently: "The tactics that we had previously discussed below the stage."
"But one more of you." Li Wei said.
"Hur hur." The young man sneered, and the disdain between his brows grew even more. "He"s only here to make up the numbers, there"s no need to be so serious."
They were just here to make up for the amount...
Disdain, naked contempt.
However, towards the young man"s current att.i.tude, no one stood up to stand up for Chu Hen, and at the same time, the gaze they used to look at Chu Hen was full of ridicule and amus.e.m.e.nt.
"He Xian..."
Just at this time, He Chao, who had shone brightly in the previous group, suddenly stood up and scolded the young man: "Be a bit more polite in front of the teachers."
He Chao paused for a moment, then turned to Li Wei and said, "Instructor Li Wei, my brother has been spoiled by the family since he was young, his words sometimes do not care, please forgive him."
He Xian? Younger brother?
The people who were confused immediately realised that the young man with such an arrogant att.i.tude was actually He Chao"s brother.
No wonder his body was emitting a sharp sword aura.
Since he was He Chao"s little brother, his strength must be extraordinary.
Many students in the last group couldn"t help but light up with hope for victory.
"No worries!" Instructor Li Wei was not a petty person, he was not angry because of He Xian"s rudeness. Li Wei then looked at Chu Hen and said: "Do you need to discuss this with everyone?"
He Xian was not rude to Li Wei, he was just looking down on Chu Hen.
He Chao only apologized to Li Wei, but ignored Chu Hen.
The surrounding area seemed to be saying that Chu Hen had come to the wrong place at the wrong time …
"Junior brother Chu Hen, why don"t you wait for the next a.s.sessment!" Mouse was a little dissatisfied with everyone "shunning" him, hence he spoke up for Chu Hen. It was just that he did not have enough confidence.
Chu Hen laughed, his expression not fluctuating in the slightest.
"There"s no need, just do as that senior said. Let"s start now!"
In the next moment, the entire arena was in a state of turmoil, and He Xian smiled in a complacent manner.
Of course, Chu Hen did not give in, nor was he afraid of the other party.
… ….
"Since that"s the case, the a.s.sessment examination for the last group will now begin." Li Wei announced loudly.
Immediately after, the instructors who were in charge of the a.s.sessment and the unrelated personnel left the high platform one after another.
"Junior brother Chu Hen, do your best!" Mouse patted Chu Hen"s shoulder and encouraged him.
Chu Hen smiled slightly, "I will do my best."
With that, Mouse also walked down the stage. Not long later, there were only thirty young students and the instructor Liu Meng left on the high platform in the center of the plaza.
"Hehe, little brats, the previous group battle made your father feel extremely unhappy, so I will sprinkle all the fire on you guys this round …"
Liu Meng pointed the broadsword in his hand at the thirty people in front of him.
Everyone"s expression changed slightly as they inwardly cursed. What did the previous group"s a.s.sessment have to do with this group?
The corner of He Xian"s eyes slightly congealed, and he said with a deep voice, "Everyone, don"t worry. As long as you help me break through his defenses, then everyone can pa.s.s through without a hitch."
"Understood, Senior Brother He Xian. Feel free to speak your mind."
"That"s right, we will definitely do our best."
… ….
He Xian chuckled, and then continued to attack, "Everything is ready, we are about to attack."
Liu Meng"s face revealed a playful smile, as though an adult was looking at a group of children, "Little brats, all of you take out your abilities!"
"Attack!"
"Boom!"
As He Xian"s voice fell, all the surrounding young students started to group together to attack, all of them revealing their weapons, like a pack of wolves rushing towards their prey.
But they all understood that this" prey "was far more powerful than any one of them. It was absolutely impossible for him to win in a one on one fight. He could only rely on his advantage in numbers to "capture" it.
"Haha, interesting!" Liu Meng laughed, revealing a mouthful of thick teeth, he continued to wave the broadsword in his hand, with the sword tip pointed downwards, firmly striking the ground.
"Buzz buzz …."
The moment the tip of the sword landed on the stage, a dense white Qi wave immediately swept out in all directions with Liu Meng as the center.
The fierce might of the strong wind charged out like an autumn wind sweeping through fallen leaves.
Everyone was knocked back a few steps.
"Swoosh!"
In the next moment, He Xian transformed into a black shadow as he flew out. As he moved, a sharp three-foot-long sword appeared in his palm.
Sword light flashed like shadows!
The speed at which He Xian unleashed his sword was astonishing, it was as fast as the wind, immediately arriving in front of Liu Meng, the tip of the sword touching the chest of the opponent.
"Well done, Senior Brother He Xian …" A young man nearby exclaimed in excitement.
Liu Meng laughed in ridicule, and calmly placed the broadsword horizontally in front of him, "Don"t be happy too early."
"Bam!"
He Xian"s sword struck at the center of his opponent"s broadsword body. The sword energy fused with his True Essence and Liu Meng"s feet did not move even half a step.
"Your speed is not bad, but your strength is not enough!" Liu Meng laughed faintly.
"Humph!"
He Xian frowned, he quickly changed his direction of attack and aimed for the enemy"s left rib. Liu Meng dodged to the side and easily dodged. He waved his broadsword horizontally, and smashed it towards He Xian"s chest.
But, He Xian was not an average cultivator, with a flip of his body, he dodged the opponent"s attack.
The exchange between the two instantly caused the audience"s eyes to light up.
Although He Xian was only at the eighth level of the Invigorated Meridian Realm, his control of the sword was no weaker than his brother He Chao"s. Furthermore, He Xian"s Sword Wind focused on agility and speed, so under this situation with so many people, it still had some advantages.
"Senior Brother He Xian is truly not bad. This group has a high chance of completing the "Absolute Kill" again."
"One was He Chao, the other was He Xian. Today, all of our limelight has been taken by the two geniuses of the He family."
