Chapter 9 - The Clan Martial Arts Assessment (2/2)
This also means that this assessment is a purely assessment of the real strength, and everyone should win by his or her own strength.
Having heard the content of the assessment of this time, that is, to hold on two hours under the attack of iron-wood puppets, many disciples suddenly change their faces.
For some disciples whose original strength is on the later-stage of Body Cultivation of the Yun Clan, even if they are unable to defeat the iron-wood puppet, simply holding on for two hours may be possible if they endeavor to their best. But for those who have not reached the later-stage of Body Cultivation, it is extremely difficult to even hold on for one hour under the attack of those puppets.
“Why is the assessment so difficult this time?”
Most of the disciples of the Yun Clan are in a sudden uproar after hearing the content of the assessment. In the past years, most of them could pass the examination as long as they reached the middle-stage of Body Cultivation. But this time, the iron-wood puppets are used as the content of the assessment, denying those general martial cultivators on the middle-stage of Body Cultivation the hope to pass at all.
As a result, several disciples go on the martial ground and start to fight one by one, but no one manages to hold on for even one hour, and they are all directly eliminated in a fluster.
There are also some disciples forcing themselves to go on, but they just fail and get down with a serious injury.
Those disciples who fail to hold on for two hours will not be eligible to stay in the Yun Clan anymore, but they will become a part of the side branches of the clan to develop some business for the development of the whole clan, ensuring that the clan will have enough resources to provide for the Core Disciples of the clan powerfully.
And of course, when it comes to the position or status in the clan and the resources acquired in the future, they are just far inferior to the Core Disciples.
After several failures, Yun Qing’er comes to the ground. Although Yun Qing’er is also on the middle-stage of Body Cultivation, she is just about to break through and move to the later-stage. With a calm breath and a light stature like a swallow, Yun Qing’er becomes the first martial cultivator to pass the assessment.
After that, the next disciple Yun Tian is even more relaxed. He directly smashes the iron- wood puppet with one hand, which deeply impresses the audience. Even Yun Luoshan, the grand master of the Yun Clan, who has been keeping his gravity, shows a trace of comfort on his face.
“With such excellent disciples as Yun Tian and your daughter Qing’er in the Yun Clan, the bright future of your clan is just around the corner. Brother Luoshan, how lucky you are!” Zhao Chunyang, the grand master of the Zhao Clan, says in a flattering manner.
The smiles on Yun Luoshan’s face become huger. He shakes his head and says, “It is nothing, Brother Chunyang, you are flattering me. Everyone in Luoyun City knows the three outstanding talents in your Zhao Clan. Except for Qing’er and Tian’er, other disciples in our Yun Clan, though with some gifts, are still of less use.”
