Chapter 1423 The Assessment
The Four Great Sects, even their outer disciples, had a lot of prestige in other places.
To be able to enter the Four Great Sects meant that one’s potential was passable and very likely to become a master.
But all this was not worth mentioning in Zhang Han’s eyes.
He stood in line without saying anything.
Some people in the line even looked at him curiously.
A young woman greeted him.
“Fellow Daoist, may I ask where you are from?”
Zhang Han did not even raise his eyelids.
He ignored her.
This caused the young woman to be quite dissatisfied.
“Humph. How dare you be so arrogant?
“When I pass the Mysterious Tower’s assessment, I will ignore you as well if you come to talk to me.”
She waited for a while.
The woman turned around again and said, “If you’re mute, then forget what I just said.
“However, if you are cold and aloof, you deserve to be scolded.”
Zhang Han gave her a look.
He couldn’t be bothered to say anything.
He was still silent.
The woman with a round face turned around, and a tall man in front of her chatted with her casually.
However, the woman did not respond to him.
She seemed to be a little upset with Zhang Han and didn’t want to talk.
After Zhang Han waited a few hours in line, it was finally about to be his turn.
“Remember, my name is Meng Ling’er,” the young woman said with a light snort.
A few minutes after she entered the Mysterious Tower, her ranking continued to rise.
She passed thirteen floors.
“Good heavens!”
“Finally, someone has passed the test.”
“It’s Meng Ling’er. It’s that young lady who was in the line just now.”
“She still has two more floors to go before she becomes an inner-door disciple.”
“Even if she only makes it to the thirteenth floor, she can basically pass the outer-door assessment. I wonder which sect this talent is from.”
A lot of people in the crowd gasped.
Meng Ling’er ran out and looked at Zhang Han with pride.
When she arrived at the place for promotion, an inner-door disciple congratulated her before she sat down on the chair aside.
At this time, it was already dusk. The disciple felt that she was lucky to be the only one who had passed the trials.
Unexpectedly, after a few minutes, Zhang Hanyang passed 11 floors.
He passed the trials and became an outer-door disciple.
“Another one has passed.”
“Two people pass the test in a day. It’s horrifying. It seems that this has not happened in more than 50 years.”
The Four Great Sects of the Astral Domain of Vast Heaven were a sacred land on the Vast Heaven Star.
Almost all of the outstanding disciples would pass the official assessment.
However, a small number of them had avoided the assessment and gained some new opportunities, and their strength had improved by leaps and bounds.
However, there were only a few such people.
Although the Four Great Sects were powerful, there were also many outstanding talents who would stay in their own sects. Only when the time was right would they go to the Four Great Sects for further development.
“Congratulations, Big Brother,” said Grand Master Chu via Designated Voice-transmitting Technique from afar.
“You can go back now. Take good care of my family for me,” Zhang Han replied.
“Don’t worry. As long as I’m alive, they will definitely not be in any danger,” said Grand Master Chu solemnly.
“Alright.”
Zhang Han smiled at him and nodded.
Only then did he sit down on the chair aside to rest.
“You, you actually passed as well?” Meng Ling’er said in shock.
“Not bad. Two have passed the trials today.”
The inner-door disciple said with a smile, “Meng Ling’er and Zhang Hanyang. Well, Meng Ling’er, you passed 13 floors. You’re talented, and it won’t be a big problem for you to pass the inner-door assessment. Zhang Hanyang, you’ve only passed 11 floors, and the assessment will take place in a month. You need to work harder. You two will be tested with tens of thousands of outer-door disciples in the same area, and only one-tenth of you will pass the assessment.”
Zhang Han listened to what the disciple said, but he wasn’t quite interested in taking the assessment.
Meng Ling’er looked like she was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was quite lively.
Finally, Meng Ling’er said very angrily, “Zhang Hanyang, can you speak or not?
“We will be assigned to a place of the outer court. We may even be assigned to the same residential area. I have entered the sect before you. You may need to call me Senior Sister.
“You can’t speak. Don’t just sit here and be an eyesore.”
She looked very angry.
She was a bit like Mengmeng.
Zhang Han shook his head slightly and said, “I’m tired after the long journey. I need to rest.”
“Hmm? You’re not mute!
“You can talk. Where do you come from?”
“…”
Zhang Han suddenly felt a little regretful and wondered if he should have ignored her.
After two hours, another inner-door disciple came over to take over the work.
“Oh? Two people? You’re so lucky. You have two qualified people once you supervised the trials. According to the previous probability, I don’t think there will be one person passing the trials in three days under my supervision.”
“Hahaha, that’s not how it is. Maybe three people will pass the trials under your supervision tomorrow.”
The disciple who was leading Zhang Han and Meng Ling’er smiled and took the lead in leaving.
The inner-door disciple said, “Get on the spaceship.
“You are about to enter the Vast Heaven Star, the largest planet in the Astral Domain of Vast Heaven. Among the Four Great Sects, our Ling Sea Sword Sect’s strength belongs to the upper class. Remember, after you enter the outer court, you will be a member of the Ling Sea Sword Sect. Don’t disgrace the sect when you travel in the outside world.”
“Got it,” Meng Ling’er said in a perfunctory tone.
Zhang Han did not respond at all.
He was rather silent.
In the eyes of the inner sect disciple, however, it was a sign that Zhang Han was inexperienced.
“They don’t dare to speak and are sullen. Many of the new disciples are the same. I guess they will start to joke around after they get familiar with the environment in a few days.”
The competition in the Ling Sea Sword Sect was very fierce.
Those who stood aloof from worldly affairs were simply not suited to experience the outside world.
Many disciples had just arrived at the sect, so they had to get familiar with the environment before they could be carefree and casual.
“The flight will last for about five hours.”
The inner-door disciple said, “I’m going to cultivate. You can learn about the sect’s information from the system on the spaceship.”
After that, the inner-door disciple who led the team walked into the practice room.
“Hey.”
Meng Ling’er sat beside Zhang Han and called out to him.
Unexpectedly, the man next to her closed his eyes and slept there. It was as if he didn’t even see her.
Meng Ling’er gave a cold harrumph and said nothing.
She was in a good mood after passing the trials, so she didn’t care much about Zhang Han ignoring her.
About four hours later, they were about to reach the Astral Domain of Vast Heaven.
Zhang Han opened his eyes and browsed through some basic information in the system.
The information was rather comprehensive. There was information about the territories of the Four Great Sects, the Exotic Beast Mountain Range, several large battlefields, the sea area, and so on.
“The current situation is somewhat different from a thousand years ago.”
Back then, the Eight Sects were still here. Zhang Han didn’t travel here for a long time. After about a decade, he went to the Silver Dragon Galaxy.
He silently kept the information in mind.
After a while, the spaceship left the secondary space.
“The Vast Heaven Star is so big!”
Meng Ling’er had been prepared for it. In fact, she had even heard of how enormous it was. However, when she saw it, she was still shocked.
The huge planet appeared in front of them. It was as if there was no end of it in sight. Their spaceship was as small as a grain of dust compared to the planet.
“Huh.”
The inner-door disciple came out and said, “We’ve arrived. One can only come to the Vast Heaven Star through the space station. Although it is huge, the air layer of the Vast Heaven Star is very tightly guarded. The space station can detect everything unusual from a distance. This is the highest-end science and cultivation gathering place in the Astral Domain of Vast Heaven. If you pass the inner-door assessment, you will feel that in the Vast Heaven Star, you will be surpassed by countless people if you slack off a little.”
“…”
As he spoke, the spaceship arrived at a space station. After passing through it smoothly, they took the aircraft to the ground. They could see cities and many large areas comparable to those of the large sects in the outside world.
The space station was like the security room of a university.
“In front of us is City A311 of the outer court.
“Meng Ling’er, you’ve passed 13 floors. You’ll stay in Villa No. 18 in Maple Villa District. Zhang Hanyang, you’ll stay in Villa No. 106.”
“The difference between us is huge.”
Meng Ling’er blinked.
They arrived at the Maple Villa District.
“How come his villa is right behind mine?” Meng Ling’er said in confusion.
“They’re different,” the inner-door disciple said. “Your villa is facing the Great Clear Lake in a good direction, and you can enjoy the scenery at any time. The people who stay in the villas at the back don’t have this kind of benefit. Don’t look down on the Great Clear Lake. In fact, there are more than a hundred kinds of occult art in the waves here. Whether you can comprehend them or not depends on your cultivation.”
“More than a hundred kinds of occult art?” Meng Ling’er chuckled.
She felt happy.
“I’m leaving. The basic principles are all in your room. You can read them by yourself.”
After saying that, the inner-door disciple who led the two here left.
Zhang Han silently walked to his villa.
When he reached the door, a small intelligent ball flew over.
It scanned Zhang Han’s body from top to bottom.
“Recording the appearance information.
“Recording…”
Bang!
A puff of smoke came out as Zhang Han pushed the door open and entered.
“It’s time.”
Zhang Han sat cross-legged on the floor. After he ran his power, a lot of Formation Stones emerged.
Clap! Clap!
The Formation Stones were shattered, and the energy was stimulated on the red seal in his right hand.
Zhang Han instantly felt a few strands of red silken threads.
There were five of them in total.
One of them was very clear. It seemed to have broken the void, leading to a certain place.
The other three threads, however, were quite weak.
The last one was indistinct and difficult to sense.
Swoosh!
Zhang Han immediately ended the Blood Source Incantation.
The red seal couldn’t be used often. Once his energy was exhausted, he might not be lucky enough to encounter the Myriad Wood Chaotic Qi.
“Map.”
Zhang Han conjured up a map of the Vast Heaven Star.
His eyes were fixed on the northwest area, where the coordinates indicated.
“Crimson Sunglow Sect?”
Zhang Han frowned slightly.
“The detection in midair of the Vast Heaven Star is not weak, and it’s difficult for spaceships to cross the sect. With my current strength, I’m far from enough to achieve it.
“I’m afraid it’ll take a hundred days to cross the Exotic Beast Mountain Range with the speed of the Seven-star Sword in the Crimson Sunglow Sect.”
After thinking for a while, Zhang Han began to check the basic information of the sects from an energy wristband.
“The fifth war zone.”
The Ling Sea Sword Sect and the Heavenly Evil Sect had been fighting all year round, and their inner disciples had countless training tasks, one of which was to go to the war zone.
“It would be a waste of time to go there now.
“The inner-door assessment will take place in a month. If I accept the logistics mission of the war zone and go to the fifth war zone, which is not too far from the Crimson Sunglow Sect, I’ll be able to reach there in ten days.”
After Zhang Han thought it over, he took a medicinal pellet and began to comprehend the essence of the Immortal Body of the Five Elements.
The power of the Space-splitting Punch could be continuously improved, perfected, and integrated with the Law and attributes, resulting in different results.
After making up his mind, Zhang Han began to cultivate in seclusion for a month.
It wasn’t until the day of the inner-door assessment that Zhang Han opened his eyes. There was a flash of light in them.
He got up, left the villa straightforwardly, and followed the crowd to the downtown area.
There were many people in a huge field.
“In the assessment, you’re required to fight against five inner-door disciples. As long as you defeat them or obtain their approval, you will pass.”
“There are 1,350 inner-door disciples over here.”
“You can start the assessment now. Choose your opponents on the stage and begin the battle.”
