C1172 Sect Master's Test

Since he's here for the position of Sect Master, no matter how difficult the test is, whether he could pass the test or not, there was no reason for him to give up. They had to try their best. Therefore, when they saw that the five protectors had laid out the chess pieces and greeted them, Huang Lianyun glanced at Du Qi and the others. He actually took the initiative to walk to the square table that was closest to him.

Huang Lianyun bowed to Niu Deqin, who was sitting beside the table, and then leisurely sat down on the short chair. After looking at it for a while, the nervous expression on his face relaxed. He casually picked up a black chess piece and placed it on the chessboard. He then called out, "Guardian Niu, please!"

Jia Yulin and Li Chengde saw that Huang Lianyun had already started playing chess, so they immediately cast aside their worries. Walking towards the square table closer to them, Du Qi saw Wenn Wanru seemed to be hesitating. He could not help but encourage, "Wan-Er, no matter what the result is, as long as you try your best!"

Wenn Wanru smiled and said, "I will. You also have to do your best. Don't let me snatch first."

Du Qi heard this and his heart moved. It turned out that Wenn Wanru was not thinking about herself, but worried about whether he could pass the test. He couldn't help but sigh, "What a silly girl, but I like her!"

Unconsciously, Du Qi could not help thinking more about Wenn Wanru. He smiled happily and said, "Then show me your true ability. Let me see if you are stronger than Huang Lianyun and the others in other aspects other than your cultivation."

Wenn Wanru did not speak anymore. She just smiled slightly and walked to the square table closer to her. Du Qi had no choice but to walk to the remaining square table.

Du Qi came to the table and saw that the chessboard was carved on the table. It was almost filled with black and white chess pieces that looked messy. The arrangement was simple. It was a game of chess that was not finished yet. Furthermore, it was a game of black chess that guaranteed victory. No wonder Huang Lianyun responded to the game almost without thinking.

There was no suspense. In the time it took for a meal, all five of them had passed the first round of the test. Except for Jia Yulin, who was slightly struggling, Du Qi and the other three had easily won.

Seeing this, the Third Elder, the Fifth Guardian, and the other deacons were all somewhat excited. Nie Fengyang said with some excitement, "Congratulations on passing the first test! The original plan for the first test was two hours, and now everyone has passed it in advance. We will proceed with the second test. Please prepare. "

As Nie Fengyang spoke, Niu Deqin and the other protectors took the chess pieces on the table in front of them. They took out nine black stones the size of goose eggs and a carving knife and placed them on the table. Nie Fengyang saw that the five Protectors were ready. Then he said, "This round of the test is also limited to two hours. Everyone must set up what they think is the strongest formation within the time limit. If you can't set up a formation within two hours, it will be considered as not passing the test. Please make the best use of your time and try your best. We will begin now! "

As soon as Nie Fengyang finished speaking, Du Qi and the others immediately took action. With these nine formation cornerstones, even if they did not need to carve them, Du Qi could also set up a powerful Nine Palace Formation. Since the test required carving, Du Qi did not dare to be careless, so he concentrated on carving the foundation of the Nine Palace Array.

Du Qi held the cornerstone in his left hand and the carving knife in his right hand. He concentrated his true essence on the tip of the knife. He cut across the surface of the stone without stopping, and there was actually a burst of sparks. A cloud of dust was stirred up, but what was left on the surface of the stone was an extraordinary splendor. The extremely beautiful, round and full lines and patterns only took a moment. Du Qi had finished drawing, and then he waved his right hand. The nine cornerstones shot onto the square behind him, shining with a dazzling light. But in an instant, the Light Restraining Stone returned to its calm state, as if nothing had happened.

Everyone was shocked and confused when they saw this. Nie Fengyang said with some doubt, "Young Master Du, this is..."

Du Qi smiled lightly and said, "The Nine Palatial Array that I set up contains the Eight Trigrams. And... It has the ability to trap cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage. Due to the fact that the elders and protectors may need to test the formation, this formation doesn't have the power to attack, it can only trap the person inside."

After saying that, Du Qi waved his right hand, sending out a powerful palm wind. It struck the formation he set up. Nine! The palace formation once again gave off a dazzling light, and the white mist within the formation was concealed. However, there was no cornerstone of the array. Du Qi continued, "Which elder or protector would be interested in testing the array?"

Seeing how miraculous the formation Du Qi deployed was, everyone present, except for Yuwen Qianmo, they were all deeply shocked, and it took Nie Fengyang a long time to regain his senses. He exchanged a glance with the other two elders and five protectors before saying, "Just by looking at this scene, I can tell that Young Master Du's formation has been completed. There's no need to try. "

As long as they could pass this round of test, would they be able to test the formation? Du Qi did not care and immediately looked towards the others. He saw that Wenn Wanru's method of inscribing the formation base was also very skillful. It was obvious that she was quite skilled in formations. The one that surprised Du Qi was Jia Yulin. His chess skills didn't seem to be very good, but the carving of the formation base was no less than Wenn Wanru's. Huang Lianyun was the first to attack during the chess match, so he was the first to win. Now he was also very confident and relaxed when he inscribed the array base, but he was able to withstand it. He had always performed in a fair and impeccable manner. He did not stand out and did not fall behind others. The formations that they had set up were all different, although they were not as magical as the ones Du Qi had set up. It could be considered that they had passed the test.

Nie Fengyang congratulated the five of them again, then continued, "Next, we will proceed with the third task, drawing talismans. The time limit is one incense stick of time. Each of you has five talisman papers in front of you. What kind of talisman paper will you draw? You can choose by yourselves, but you must successfully draw three talismans. Otherwise, you will be considered to have failed the test, and you will not be able to participate in the later tests. Naturally, you will lose the qualification to take over the Sect Master. I hope that everyone will do their best. Don't overdo it. Now, the third test begins! "

Although Du Qi had practiced drawing talismans before, he had never drawn them on paper. However, he was not afraid. After Nie Fengyang announced the start, he immediately focused his mind and picked up the brush. He dipped it in cinnabar, and condensed his true essence. The tip of the brush swept across the paper like flowing water. It left behind a wisp of dark red color, and in the end, it formed a dazzling appearance. It emitted a shocking aura.

Drawing talismans required one to be able to draw them in one go. Without a doubt, Du Qi had done it perfectly. In just a moment, Du Qi had finished drawing five talismans. Everyone could not help but feel surprised when they saw this. Even Yuwen Qianmo was a little surprised. Nie Fengyang asked, "May I ask what kind of talisman Young Master Du drew?"

Du Qi smiled lightly and said, "These three are defensive talismans. They can resist the twelve full-force strikes of the Nascent Infant cultivator. These two attack talismans can kill any Nascent Infant cultivator. Because of the limitations of these talismans, they can only be used to this extent. Otherwise, their power will be even more powerful! "
