Zhang Hao's heart was dripping with cold sweat, because he knew that if that Deacon hadn't lent him his token, he might have already vanished into thin air at this moment.
After all, without the Gravity Tower's power tempering him, his Physical Body would definitely not have been able to advance.
Therefore, Zhang Hao was very grateful to that Deacon.
When Zhang Hao walked down the Gravity Tower, he noticed that the eyes of those Cultivators looking at him were extremely respectful, which made Zhang Hao slightly startled, but Zhang Hao didn't think too much about it.
He walked directly to the front of that Deacon, looked at him, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Senior, for your previous help."
Saying that, Zhang Hao handed that Deacon's token back to the other party.
That Deacon took back his token, then returned Zhang Hao's token to him, and said very seriously, "Kid, haste makes waste, you were playing with your life just now, you know?"
Zhang Hao gave a wry smile and nodded, saying, "Understood, Senior."
That Deacon saw that Zhang Hao was very sincere, and smiled slightly, "You kid are still capable of correcting your mistakes, but, although this Deacon lent you the token, you still have to return those contribution points, understand!"
Zhang Hao asked that Deacon, "Senior, how many contribution points?"
"Not many, just 1000!"
Zhang Hao didn't doubt it either, he nodded and said solemnly, "Senior, please rest assured, I will return these contribution points very soon."
"Okay, then you can go!" That Deacon waved his hand at Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao nodded and said to that Senior, "Then this Junior will take his leave."
Looking at Zhang Hao's departing figure, that Deacon murmured, "Indeed, every generation produces its talents! Perhaps in the near future, the Hao Xian Sect will be proud of you."
The day of the assessment arrived quickly.
This Outer Sect assessment is a major event for the Hao Xian Sect's Outer Sect.
It is something every Disciple who wants to enter the Inner Sect dreams of.
However, the requirements to enter the Hao Xian Sect's Inner Sect are extremely strict; an assessment is required.
Each time, only the top thirty Martial Warriors in the Competition can enter the Inner Sect.
Don't think this number seems high, you should know that there are more than five hundred Disciples participating in the assessment each time.
Out of five hundred, only thirty are selected, so the elimination is still very cruel.
Moreover, these are the Hao Xian Sect Disciples who will ultimately participate in the Competition; before that, an assessment is needed, with at least three thousand Outer Sect Disciples participating in the qualification assessment.
Only after passing the assessment can they participate in the final Competition.
Therefore, it's not an exaggeration to say that the Outer Gate Competition is like thousands of soldiers crossing a single-plank bridge.
On this day, the qualification assessment area was crowded with people.
Clearly, almost all Outer Sect Disciples came this time.
Although many Outer Sect Disciples also knew they might not have much hope, they still held onto a glimmer of hope.
Zhang Hao saw that he could barely squeeze in and was also very depressed.
He finally queued for half an hour before it was finally his turn.
This assessment was also very simple to explain; one must exert a force of three million jin to be eligible to participate in the Outer Gate Competition.
Upon hearing this requirement, Zhang Hao smiled freely.
Three million jin was simply a piece of cake for him.
Even if he didn't use martial techniques, exerting a force of three million jin was not a problem.
However, Zhang Hao was also a bit curious and wanted to see how others were assessed.
Soon, he saw a Martial Warrior walk up to something resembling a drum.
"Begin!"
A Deacon stood beside a dark-faced youth and shouted.
With a 'boom!', that youth punched the large drum.
The first attempt was not qualified.
Everyone has three chances.
However, that youth attempted three times consecutively and still did not succeed.
"1.5 million jin, not qualified!" That Deacon shouted expressionlessly.
That youth immediately became dejected, looking somewhat dispirited.
However, his strength was still too far from three million jin, so he couldn't complain about anything.
"Next, Jiang Taiya!" The Deacon shouted expressionlessly.
Another thin Outer Sect Disciple stepped forward.
"Boom!" That Martial Warrior punched towards that drum.
That force caused a violent tremor.
"3.05 million jin, passed." The Deacon looked at that Disciple, nodded slightly, and shouted.
That Martial Warrior revealed a look of great joy.
Next, several more Outer Sect Disciples stepped forward to take the assessment, some were happy, some were sad.
After all, the threshold of three million jin is not something every Outer Sect Disciple of the Hao Xian Sect can pass.
Wen Tailai was standing beside that Deacon at this moment, watching the assessment of the surrounding Martial Warriors.
He was the supervisor for this Outer Sect assessment, and his authority was significant.
When Zhang Hao saw Wen Tailai, his expression also changed slightly, knowing that his assessment this time, if this Wen Tailai interfered, would encounter many variables.
However, since he had come, he could only deal with whatever came his way.
Soon, it was Zhang Hao's turn.
When Wen Tailai saw Zhang Hao, his expression sank, and then he revealed a cold smile.
"Next, Zhang Hao." That Deacon shouted.
Just as Zhang Hao was about to step forward for the assessment, Wen Tailai, who was nearby, said, "Hold on."
That Deacon looked at Wen Tailai, and a hint of confusion appeared on his face.
Wen Tailai said indifferently, "I have an objection.
This person, this Esteemed One knows, seems to have only entered the Hao Xian Sect a month ago.
How can he participate in the assessment?"
That Deacon slightly furrowed his brows and asked Zhang Hao coldly, "Is what he said true?"
Zhang Hao nodded and said, "That's right."
That Deacon could check this, and Zhang Hao couldn't deny it, therefore, he nodded and admitted it.
That Deacon saw that Zhang Hao admitted it straightforwardly.
He smiled coldly and said, "Since that's the case, you are disqualified.
Go back, you cannot participate in this assessment."
Zhang Hao was already prepared and said to that Deacon, "Is it still not allowed with this?"
Zhang Hao took out the token that Elder Tu had given him and shook it in front of that Deacon.
When that Deacon saw Zhang Hao's token, his expression immediately sank.
This is the Inner Sect Great Elder's token.
How could he dare not acknowledge it?
With this token, it represents qualification.
At this moment, even Wen Tailai's expression couldn't help but turn a little ugly.
If Zhang Hao had this token, he really couldn't do anything to him.
"Alright, since Elder Tu is willing to vouch for you, you can participate in the assessment." That Deacon pondered for a moment, and finally didn't have the guts to offend the Inner Sect Great Elder.
Although Wen Tailai is the Deputy Sect Leader's Young Master, compared to Elder Tu, his weight is still a bit less.
If he really offended Elder Tu, he probably wouldn't be able to get by in the Hao Xian Sect in the future.
Zhang Hao walked up to that drum.
For some reason, when Zhang Hao saw the cold smile on Wen Tailai's face, who was standing beside that Deacon, he felt that something was wrong in his heart.
