After Cultivating With the Enemy
Chapter 18
Five days later, the quarterly exams officially started.
From hour to noon, the disciples conducted a Scripture test in the classroom.
Ji Chaoyun is diligent and eager to learn, and has long been familiar with the Taoism that needs to be read through in the yellow character level. This assessment is not at all difficult for him.After the literary examination, everyone took a break and went to Yanjianping for a secret realm assessment.
The area that was previously divided for practice and sword training has now been replaced by transmission circles.
The assessment time has not arrived, and the teleportation circle has not yet been opened, but many disciples waiting for the assessment have already gathered on Yanjianping.
"I have never heard of the last two policy topics!"
"I would endorse it if I knew it a long time ago, and now I'm all on the pass."
"What are you guys, at least I have the bottom, I don't know how to do it."
...
The disciples were all wailing, but Ye Chenxing was proud of the spring breeze, and said in a low voice: "Chaoyun, you are too good. You have scored more than half of the essay questions. I must have no problem with this assessment."
Ji Chaoyun smiled: "It just happens to be."
"What a coincidence, this is strength." Ye Chenxing hooked Ji Chaoyun's shoulders and smiled. "Tomorrow's quarter exam will end and we will have a day of fun. Let's go to the lower realm for a good day, how about?"
"This..." Ji Chaoyun was about to answer, suddenly feeling a chill from his back.
He raised his head, and Feng Qi walked quickly from the front, staring at them insidiously.
Ye Chenxing decisively let go of Ji Chaoyun, and said quickly: "I suddenly remembered that Senior Brother Chen of the Xuanzi level had something to do with me, I'll go there first!"
Beiran: "Wait, I'll go too!"
"You wait—" Before Ji Chaoyun could speak, the two ran fast, and soon disappeared.
He bit his scalp and turned his head back, Feng Qi raised his brows slightly, and a smile named Shengli flashed in his eyes.
"What are you looking for me for?" Ji Chaoyun asked in the pine forest beside Yanjianping.
Feng Qi walked forward for half a step, lowered his head, and lowered his voice to Ji Chaoyun: "Finally, I will give you a chance. I really don't read the cheats I gave you? The secret trial is not as simple as you think."
"dont see."
Feng Qi "tsk", "Stubbornly."
Although he said so, his face was not annoying.Feng Qi lowered his eyes to look at the person close at hand, unable to hold back, raised his hand and squeezed his face: "I don't want to help you without a chance, really... why is your face so hot?"
Ji Chaoyun turned his head and avoided: "Don't move your hands or feet."
Ji Chaoyun's body temperature is lower than that of normal people, and even if there is some abnormal warm touch on his body, it is much lower than ordinary people.The temperature change was not obvious, but Feng Qi still noticed it keenly.
Feng Qi rubbed his fingertips and smiled: "I'm too close to you, so shy?"
"bored……"
In the distance, Kaiyang Xianjun, who is in charge of supervision, has arrived, which means that the assessment will begin.Ji Chaoyun turned around to leave.
"Wait, I haven't finished talking." Feng Qi raised his hand and pressed it on Ji Chaoyun's shoulder, being avoided by the latter.However, at this moment, the glimmer of Feng Qi's fingertips had already submerged into Ji Chaoyun's hair bun, but the spiritual power was too weak, so the latter did not notice.
Feng Qi suppressed his smile and said seriously: "There are many traps in the secret realm. Once you get caught in it, it is difficult to get out of it, and it is very easy to get injured. You have to be careful."
Seeing that he was really kind, Ji Chaoyun nodded: "Thank you, I see."
Ji Chaoyun returned to Yanjianping, Kaiyang Xianjun announced the start of the assessment, and everyone was divided into queues and entered the secret realm at the same time.
He opened his eyes again and was teleported into a stone forest.
The rugged stone pillars and peaks stood in front of them, and the three of them glanced at each other and stepped into them cautiously.
The so-called stone formation is naturally not as simple as defeating a stone man.There are thousands of strange rocks in this stone forest, which are unpredictable and easy to get lost, but the real stone man is hidden between the virtual and the reality.
There was silence in the stone forest, Ji Chaoyun stepped on a loose stone slab suddenly, and his heart was shocked: "Beware!"
He dragged the two of them back a few steps, and after he stepped on that area, he sank to the bottom of the ground for a second, the rubble rolled down, and then was blown to pieces by the hidden weapon in the deep pit.
Ye Chenxing looked down at the deep pit and swallowed: "This, this secret realm... shouldn't be really dead, right?"
Ji Chaoyun: "...Be careful."
As Feng Qi said, there are many traps in this stone forest. While avoiding the traps, the three of them are looking for the stone men, and the progress is extremely slow.
Ji Chaoyun stopped, he raised his hand and touched his forehead. The unusual heat from the past made his brows slightly frowned.At the same time, another imperceptible hot sensation was faintly radiating from the body.
...It won't be so coincidental.
"Chaoyun, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?" Ye Chenxing asked.
Ji Chaoyun shook his head: "It's okay."
He looked up in the air, hung on a light screen above their heads, and the number was still seventy seven.
This represents the seventeen teams that have entered the stone formation this time.
This place is not a real secret realm. Only when the stone formation is broken can it be sent to the place where the real assessment is located.The order of breaking the stone formation is the order of entering the secret realm.
There are a total of 1,500 evil spirits in the secret realm. Each defeat of one evil spirit scores one point, and the defeated evil spirits will not be reborn. That is to say, the later they enter the secret realm, the worse the situation will be.
If Ji Chaoyun's assessment results fall to the bottom five in the yellow grade, he will be kicked out of the academy.
The two companions also noticed Ji Chaoyun's concerns, and Bei Ran asked, "Big Brother Ji, what should I do now?"
Ji Chaoyun pondered for a moment, and said, "Go to Shifeng and act according to your plan."
"it is good."
The two nodded, and jumped up and down to the top of the two pinnacles.Ji Chaoyun took out some talisman paper from his arms.He whispered the curse in his mouth, raised his hand, and several talisman papers flew out and stuck to the center of the stone wall.
"Broken!" Ji Chaoyun retreated quickly, and almost at the same time, several Shifeng in front of him exploded.
As he stepped back, he continued to lift the talisman paper from his sleeve, and in a blink of an eye he blew up all the small areas he was currently in.The rocks splashed in the stone forest, and amidst the billowing dust waves, there was a very unusual movement.
"Chaoyun, I saw it, northwest!"
Ye Chenxing called out loudly, and the three of them rushed to the northwest at the same time. After the billowing dust dissipated, the three of them had surrounded a stone pillar.The stone pillars that were originally dead suddenly twisted and changed, and the rugged stone walls continued to grow and elevate, eventually forming a tall stone figure.
At the same time, the number on the upper light screen finally changed.
Pick up.
Two teams have entered the secret realm first.
Ji Chaoyun only glanced at the number without paying attention.
The secret realm assessment is carried out at the same time by the disciples of the Xuanhuang two levels. More than half of them are not entering the secret realm for the first time, and the speed of breaking the formation is naturally faster than them.
He glanced at the two companions beside him, nodded to each other, and the three raised their swords and rushed towards the stone man at the same time.
Outside the Secret, some high-level disciples have been surrounded one after another on Yanjianping.
On every assessment day, the college will take a day off.However, most disciples used to only care about Qingxiu, and Xiumu had nowhere to go, so they could only come to watch the battle and join in the fun.
On Yanjianping, several light mirrors floated in the air in a semi-arc shape, projecting the situation in the secret realm.At this moment, there were only two teams in the secret territory, both of which were yellow-letter disciples.
In the distance, Feng Qi was sitting on a branch, looking at the light mirrors on Yanjianping from a distance, frowning slightly.
For some reason, he has been a little uneasy today, but he can't tell where this uneasiness comes from.
Isn't something going to happen?
Feng Qi leaned against the branch angrily and closed his eyes to rest up his mind. A voice rang from under the tree: "I guessed that His Royal Highness Feng Er would come. Why, don't worry?"
Feng Qi opened his eyes and said in a bad mood: "Song Zhifei, why don't you go to accompany Governor Jiangcheng for the exam, what are you doing here?"
Song Zhifei said: "Jiangcheng fell ill today and did not participate in the examination."
Feng Qi has been worrying about it all the time today, and he really didn't notice whether Jiang Cheng had come.He snorted coldly and said, "He doesn't want to see Ji Chaoyun."
Song Zhifei smiled and said, "I really like Xiaolong's temperament. It's no wonder that His Royal Highness is so caring about him, but it's a pity that he doesn't seem to understand His Highness's deep meaning."
"Deep meaning?" Feng Qi asked with his eyes moving slightly, "Do you think I have any deep meaning?"
Song Zhifei: "It doesn't matter how I feel, the important thing is whether your Highness is aware of his feelings."
Feng Qi's breathing was stagnant, his heart seemed to be tapped by something lightly, and the subtle and unannounced emotions were revealed to the sky without warning.
Feng Qi didn't refute, nor showed the slightest strangeness.He stared at the people under the tree for a long time, and said with a little profound meaning: "Song Zhifei, you really deserve to be the first disciple in the academy, and a mortal ascended to the Tianzi level. Regardless of how you cultivate, when it comes to doing things for people, Jiang Cheng Far worse than you."
"Thank your Highness for the compliment." Song Zhifei said, "I'll go back to supervise the examination first."
He turned to leave, and suddenly heard Feng Qi speak softly: "I heard that Jiangcheng will go back to succeed the island owner after the school year is over. If you have nowhere to go, welcome to Dengyunlou."
Song Zhifei paused in his footsteps and said politely and respectfully: "Now, everything is well in the Supervisory Hall, Xie Xia is kind."
Feng Qi snorted unexplainedly, without saying anything, and leaned back against the tree trunk.
In the stone forest, Ji Chaoyun and his party are still dealing with the stone people.
The stone men formally assessed were several times stronger than the ones they had encountered before. Even though the three of them cooperated tacitly, the challenge was still difficult.With the loss of spiritual power, Ji Chaoyun's discomfort became clearer, and even his reaction speed was much slower.
"Chaoyun, beware!" Ye Chenxing shouted, but Ji Chaoyun hadn't reacted yet, suddenly saw a figure rushing towards him.
Ye Chenxing stood in front of Ji Chaoyun and received a blow from the stone man in the back.Ye Chenxing snorted, and the two staggered back and rolled into a piece of rubble.
Ji Chaoyun’s side face was pierced with blood by the stone, but he couldn’t take care of it, so he quickly threw out two pieces of talisman to contain the stone man’s movements, and lifted Ye Chenxing up: "How are you?"
Ye Chenxing's face was pale, and he cursed silently before uttering a voice: "...This thing is too ruthless to start, fortunately I resisted the beating."
"Big Brother Ji!" Bei Ran called out loudly in the distance, "It's no way for us to go on like this, what should we do?!"
The two looked at the light screen above their heads at the same time, and the number on it had changed to Ba.
The teams participating in the assessment this time are the eighth-class Xuanzi team and the ninth yellow-character team. In other words, at least one team of yellow-character disciples has entered the secret realm.
"There must be other ways..." Ji Chaoyun whispered.
How did Feng Qi do it when he was evaluated?
Freshmen are required to participate in the assessment three months after enrollment. Fengqi enrolled late at the beginning, and it was less than a month before the quarterly exam.Xianzun originally intended to put him off for a few months, but Feng Qi was arrogant and decided to participate in the assessment, and easily won the first place in the secret martial arts test.
Ji Chaoyun originally thought that perhaps he was relying on his advanced cultivation to force a breakthrough.But not long ago, Feng Qi wanted to tell him the secret of the stone formation.
Is there really another solution?
The three of them stood in stalemate for a moment, and the number of light screens above their heads gradually decreased, and the speed was getting faster and faster: Qi, Lu, Wu, Si, San...
There are only three teams left.
Physical discomfort and tight time made Ji Chaoyun's thoughts very clear. He calmed down and looked around.In the past three months, he has thoroughly studied the stone man. If there are other solutions, he can only be in this stone forest.
The strange rocks in the stone forest are rugged, the roads are rough and difficult to walk, and there are countless traps hidden...
"There are many traps in the secret realm. Once you get caught in it, it is difficult to get out, and it is very easy to get injured. You have to be careful."
Ji Chaoyun suddenly remembered what Feng Qi said to him before entering the secret realm.
trap.
As if a beam of light broke through the clouds and suddenly became clear, Ji Chaoyun said loudly: "It's a trap! Lead it into the trap, use the terrain to jam it, and trigger the hidden weapon mechanism to deal with it!"
After a stick of incense, the number on the light screen above the stone forest directly returned from three to zero, and the last three teams entered the secret realm at the same time.
The contiguous tall cedar trees hide from the sky, and the moisture in the forest compensates for it, making it extremely cold.
A ray of light shining from the forest, Ji Chaoyun stepped out of the teleportation formation, a thin layer of sweat spread on his forehead.In the distance, the water was gurgling, and a winding creek ran through the forest. Ji Chaoyun walked over slowly, half-kneeled on the ground, and washed his face with water.
Upon closer inspection, his fingers were already trembling slightly.
Ji Chaoyun wiped the water droplets off his face and raised his hand to unfold a light screen.
On the light screen, there are two scoring lists, which record the current rankings of the Xuanzi and Huangzi.The first disciple of the yellow character level now has seven points.
And the three teams that finally entered the secret realm, with a total of 13 people, had zero points after their names at the moment.
Ji Zhaoyun stared at his name that was at the end of the leaderboard, sneered, closed the scoreboard, got up and walked towards the forest.
The author has something to say:
What you are looking forward to is coming.
