“This child's strength is truly astonishing. I saw that, judging by the Spirit Stone slot where the Spirit Stones melted, Zhao Fu added more than ten times the amount of Spirit Stones to the Formation.”
“But even so, this Disciple persisted for a long time without dying. One can only say it's a blessing in disguise!”
“However, this shows that his strength is definitely good, and if I'm not mistaken, his cultivation should have already reached Profound Earth Triple Layer, right?”
“Profound Earth Triple Layer, this is a Genius Disciple second only to Zhou Keli. I heard that the Four Great Sects have also recruited many excellent Disciples recently.”
“Although our Sect has recently welcomed many powerful figures, the forces behind them can easily crush our Azure Green Sect!”
“They are completely unreliable. Only these Disciples recruited from below are more dependable and can truly support the future of our Azure Green Sect.”
Listening to this, the other people also nodded in agreement.
On one hand, this matter had to be concealed to avoid damaging the Sect's reputation.
On the other hand, the troublemaker disappeared, and the Disciple who survived was a Genius Disciple with excellent Aptitude. Of course, they understood which was more important.
Taking a deep breath, several Elders stroked their beards and walked up to Qin Xuan.
“Young friend, don't panic. There was an accident with our Formation this time, but it won't happen again.”
Saying this, the leading Elder patted Qin Xuan's shoulder with a smile.
“Consider this as a small compensation. You've passed this stage, so don't worry!”
With that, the Elder took out a bag of Spirit Stones and handed them to Qin Xuan.
Spirit Stones given by an Elder!
Qin Xuan immediately became interested. He lowered his head to look at the Spirit Stones in the bag, and his excited expression faded slightly.
He had originally thought this Elder would give him something like Top-Grade Spirit Stones, but to his surprise, he only received High-Grade Spirit Stones. Moreover, looking at the quantity, there were only a few dozen, not even a hundred.
How stingy.
This Elder did not know what Qin Xuan was thinking.
Under normal circumstances, these examinees from small places usually used Low-Grade Spirit Stones and could not afford such High-Grade Spirit Stones at all.
Upon seeing these High-Grade Spirit Stones, their eyes would probably pop out.
However, seeing Qin Xuan merely cup his hands somewhat casually, the Elder touched his nose awkwardly.
This kid seems to have seen the world.
“Thank you, Elder!”
Although it didn't meet his expectations, Qin Xuan was still content to receive Spirit Stones.
“Alright, since you've accepted the Sect's Spirit Stones, prepare for the next assessment with peace of mind. Don't worry, we will monitor the next assessment throughout and this kind of incident won't happen again.”
After all, after this incident, they no longer dared to be lazy and let these Disciples operate on their own.
As these Elders were speaking, Zhao Zheng on the side looked bewildered.
Seeing that the Elders not only didn't question Qin Xuan but even gave him a sum of Spirit Stones, Zhao Zheng's lungs almost exploded with anger.
This is outrageous!
His own brother was dead, and the murderer not only got away with it but now even received Spirit Stones!
Not only that, this person also passed this stage of the assessment, and from the Elders' expressions, they were quite satisfied with him.
What a joke!
“Elders, how can you be so biased towards the murderer? This is outrageous!”
Saying this, Zhao Zheng took a step forward and pointed at Qin Xuan.
“Several Elders, this matter must be thoroughly investigated. My brother died inexplicably, with no remains. There must be something fishy about this…”
Before Zhao Zheng could finish his words, the Elder beside him immediately looked at Zhao Zheng with a cold face.
“Nonsense, what's so fishy about it!”
Saying this, the Elder glared fiercely at Zhao Zheng.
“We have already concluded that the Formation malfunctioned, which led to the explosion. You, step back!”
The Elder said, casually motioning him to retreat.
Zhao Zheng, however, stared at the Elder with an unconvinced expression.
“Elder, there are too many suspicious points in this matter. Putting everything else aside, even if my brother was really blown up by this explosion, how could there be no body? This must have been done by this person.”
Zhao Zheng said, staring intently at Qin Xuan, wishing he could devour him alive.
“Enough!”
As soon as Zhao Zheng's voice fell, the Elder on the side could no longer hold back and looked at Zhao Zheng coldly.
“For the sake of the Zhao family, I won't pursue this matter!”
“But I tell you, although this matter was an accident, Zhao Fu was responsible for this Formation assessment.”
“The Formation explosion and Zhao Fu are inextricably linked!”
“I hope you don't harm yourself, lest you tarnish your Zhao family's reputation!”
Saying this, the Elder coldly flicked his hand, and the killing intent in his eyes grew heavier.
If Zhao Zheng dared to speak so arrogantly here again, he would report Zhao Fu's matter to the Sect.
Although this matter should be downplayed and resolved.
But if the Zhao family was unreasonable, then he would make the Zhao family pay.
“I…”
Zhao Zheng stammered, still wanting to say something, when at that moment, the innermost Elder among the several Elders shook his head slightly at him, signaling him not to speak anymore.
Seeing this, Zhao Zheng could only shut his mouth.
After all, although this Elder was not surnamed Zhao, he married a daughter of the Zhao family, making him half a Zhao family member.
Therefore, Zhao Zheng closed his mouth.
“Hmph, step back!”
After the leading Elder finished speaking, he motioned for Zhao Zheng to retreat.
“Let's go!”
The Elder behind him walked out, leading Zhao Zheng away.
“Elder Sun Hao, why didn't you let me speak?”
After leaving, Zhao Zheng looked at Sun Hao angrily.
“There's a reason I didn't let you speak.”
Sun Hao glanced at Zhao Zheng and waved his hand.
“Zhao Fu added an excessive amount of Spirit Stones into the Formation, which caused the Formation to explode. These Elders all saw it!”
This…
Hearing this, Zhao Zheng finally reacted.
“But even if Zhao Fu added an excessive amount of Spirit Stones, he wouldn't have died without a trace, would he? How could such a big person die without a body? This must be Qin Xuan's doing!”
“Even if Zhao Fu was at fault, how dare he kill Zhao Fu!”
Zhao Zheng said domineeringly.
For so many years, their Zhao family had always been extremely domineering. Even if they were in the wrong first, they didn't think they had a problem.
“Alright, you don't need to rush. Isn't he just a Young Clan Leader from a small place? Once he enters the Azure Green Sect, there are many ways to deal with him!”
Sun Hao said, a chill appearing in his eyes.
Hearing this, Zhao Zheng's eyes also lit up.
That's right, once this kid entered the Azure Green Sect, they would have plenty of time to deal with Qin Xuan.
Although the Zhao family wasn't all-powerful, their entrenched power would naturally make dealing with a single Qin Xuan a trivial matter.
“Good, then let's wait first. We'll talk about it once he enters the Sect!”
On the other side, the leading Elder lightly coughed and looked at the crowd below.
“Alright, you Inner Sect Disciples escort those Disciples who didn't pass the assessment away. Those who passed the assessment, come with me.”
Saying this, the Elder stepped into the Formation beside him.
It seems that the assessment here should be over.
The first stage tests physical fitness, the second stage tests Mental Energy, and the third stage tests combat power.
I just don't know what the final stage will test.
