Chapter 794 - 886 Physical Fitness Test
The epic battle between Chen Mo and Xiao Qingtian finally came to an end, and the once-vast forest had already been completely destroyed in time, with several array banners catching the eyes of the crowd.
On the ground, sinister cracks spread out, along with a few human-sized craters.
Surrounding this area were numerous contestants, drawn by the grand commotion. Among the sea of people was Lan Chengting, whose face still showed signs of shock.
At this moment, he seemed to understand why Xiao Jiu referred to Chen Mo as "master".
Taking advantage of nobody noticing him, Yu Jinwu sneaked away quietly.
Ice Spirit’s beautiful eyes flickered continuously, as she gazed at the young figure in mid-air with a hint of surprise and reverence. If previously Chen Mo always gave the impression of being an arrogant weakling, this battle had truly made him a top figure in the Daoist Alliance.
And as far as she knew, Chen Mo was not yet over forty years old.
At this age, possessing such terrifying strength, what kind of concept was this?
Simply put, it was monstrous.
"Master won." Little Jiu’s charming face was flooded with uncontainable joy, jumping up in excitement.
Taking advantage of Xiao Qingtian not yet waking up, Chen Mo continued: "I still have two spare bone tokens in my hand, if anyone wants them, they should hurry up, the assessment is about to end. Just having a bone token can make you an outer sect disciple of the Daoist Alliance, a rare opportunity not to be missed."
Chen Mo didn’t want to be left holding onto spare bone tokens and needed to quickly exchange them for benefits.
With Chen Mo’s reminder, the contestants without bone tokens suddenly realized the gravity of the situation.
Why did they enter the competition if not to become disciples of the Daoist Alliance? Just now they were too absorbed in watching the spectacle.
Now realizing it, all their eyes swept over to the contestants holding bone tokens.
They dared not covet the bone tokens on Chen Mo, so they had to target others.
Thus, one fight after another broke out again.
Some contestants holding bone tokens made a quick escape, planning to buy time.
Some others sought an exchange with Chen Mo.
But the price set by Chen Mo was sky high.
One bone token required the exchange of a top-tier treasure medicine.
Compared to selling the first bone token, it was an increase of several dozen times.
Those who hadn’t bought and kept waiting were now filled with regret.
Time passed bit by bit, and Xiao Qingtian woke up.
Thanks to the care of the Shangqing Sect disciples, no one took advantage of Xiao Qingtian’s unconsciousness to snatch his bone token.
After all, many disciples of the Shangqing Sect had become disciples of the Daoist Alliance.
Xiao Qingtian accepted his loss and handed over a top-tier treasure medicine to Chen Mo from his space ornament, and promised never to entangle with Zhao Fujin again, saying he would stay far away from her.
Before leaving, Xiao Qingtian, clutching his chest and looking a bit pale, said: "You’re strong, looking forward to fighting you again after entering the Daoist Alliance."
"Me too." Seeing Xiao Qingtian’s straightforwardness, Chen Mo smiled in return.
Seeing this, Xiao Qingtian couldn’t help but add a word, though he transmitted it: "The rumors previously spread in Eight Trigrams City were all by Long Xiaoyao, be careful yourself."
Having said that, Xiao Qingtian seemed to remember something, and considering his junior had taken care of him for so long, he felt he should express gratitude somehow.
Thus, he took out two more top-tier treasure medicines, exchanged them for two bone tokens from Chen Mo, and gave them to the two disciples who had cared for him, who were immediately overjoyed, as this was indeed a pleasant surprise.
Afterwards, Xiao Qingtian left.
"Long Xiaoyao..." A flicker of murderous intent flashed through Chen Mo’s eyes.
This guy was always creating trouble for him.
If there was a chance, Chen Mo was determined to deal with him.
After all, no one likes having an enemy constantly thinking about them.
...
Time flew by.
The assessment was nearing its end.
During this period, Chen Mo had not seen Wang Chen, nor did he know if Wang Chen had obtained a bone token.
He hadn’t paid close attention to the previous announcements either.
As time passed, contestants without bone tokens were all teleported out of the Primordial Battlefield by the green runes on their chests.
The remaining thousand contestants who still had bone tokens were then transported onto a massive Yin Yang Tai Chi Diagram.
Chen Mo saw Wang Chen, and the latter also spotted Chen Mo, immediately approaching: "Junior Brother Chen, I heard you even defeated Xiao Qingtian, is it true?"
Wang Chen appeared very excited, and standing beside him, Xuan Cheng was also full of curiosity.
"Just luck." Chen Mo said: "It was a narrow victory."
"A narrow victory is still a victory." Wang Chen hooked his arm around Chen Mo’s neck; this was something that brought face to the Shenxiao Sect, making Wang Chen feel proud as well.
In previous Daoist Alliance assessments, the most eye-catching ones were the Zhengyi Sect and the Shangqing Sect.
Apart from the small spotlight on Zhao Fujin last time, the Shenxiao Sect’s performance in other Daoist Alliance assessments was quite unremarkable.
The last time they shone brightly was hundreds of years ago with Zuoqiu Yiren.
Seeing Chen Mo nod, Xuan Cheng felt a bit complex.
Originally, he had planned to have a solid battle with Chen Mo during the Daoist Alliance assessment.
But now, seeing Chen Mo defeat Xiao Qingtian, this battle wasn’t necessary anymore.
At least he felt he couldn’t defeat Xiao Qingtian.
Later, Chen Mo heard from Wang Chen that he had luckily obtained a bone token, then found a place to set up an array and stayed within it, never venturing out.
During this time, he encountered Xuan Cheng, and the two teamed up, strengthening the array, and thus managed to hold out until the assessment ended.
Chen Mo scanned around and noticed that Liu Ruoyun and Qi Shan were nowhere to be found, likely unfortunate and got eliminated.
Otherwise, with their strength, they would surely have passed the assessment.
"What do we do next, where is this place?" Xiao Jiu inquired.
"This is the testing platform, it’s for detecting physiques." Ice Spirit took over the conversation, saying: "Although we’ve all passed the Daoist Alliance assessment, the treatment we receive after entering the alliance will depend on our personal physique."
A sect having so many disciples, resources are limited.
Not everyone can be meticulously nurtured.
They can only select some elite disciples to focus their training on.
"If a physique of Orange Body and above is detected, they can automatically be promoted to an inner sect disciple of the Daoist Alliance. If an Immortal Body is detected, then they’re promoted to a core disciple of the Daoist Alliance, with resources within the alliance tilting towards these individuals." Ice Spirit said slowly.
After Ice Spirit finished speaking, Chen Mo noticed many people looking at him.
He could even hear quite a bit of whispering.
"Chen Mo could even defeat Senior Brother Xiao, he definitely is not the Blue Body they mentioned, at least an Orange Body."
"I feel he’s an Immortal Body; otherwise, Senior Brother Xiao couldn’t have lost."
"Senior Brother Xiao didn’t lose due to physique but divine techniques. Chen Mo possesses a powerful divine technique, but the exact physique will be known only after testing."
