"Duan Jian, this is the Qi Sect, what are you doing here?"

Duan Ru Tian and his father arrived at the entrance of the Qi Sect and met someone they knew from their village. It was the person who kicked him out of the arena, Duan Hu, at the Martial Arts Practice Grounds.

Duan Meng was already angry, "If you can come, then I can't?". "Hmph, don't you think that the village's trash isn't ashamed enough? It's fine if he disgraces himself in the village."

Duan Ling Tian was about to step forward and argue with Duan Hu when his father stopped him. "Let's meet up with them, forget it. Don't lower yourself to the same level as them. We'll see the results after the mountain gate exam ends."

Duan Ling Tian thought about it for a moment, then he sat at a corner with his father, distancing himself from Duan Hu, took out the dry food and water he brought along, and casually ate a few mouthfuls.

"Warriors who have come to take the test, be careful. The first round will begin in an hour. Don't wander around as you wish, and don't violate the rules of the mountain." Duan Meng stood up and looked at the crowd, "Father, when will it be my turn?"

Only those who could lift a thousand jin boulder could enter the second stage of the examination. The second stage was a competition of inner strength, and there was a wooden pile with numerous wooden stakes inside. As long as you choose one, you can knock it down one meter away, and even if you pass the second stage, it would not be a problem for Duan Hu. The third trial was a pitch black tunnel. As long as they could smoothly pass through and exit from the other end, they would be considered as outer disciples.

Duan Ru saw Duan Hu coming out from the tunnel with a smile on his face, and he knew that Duan Hu had already passed the outer court disciple test. Duan Ru Yue had a slightly envious expression as Duan Ru Hu walked up to him. "Duan Jing, I'm now an outer court disciple of the Qi Sect. How about it, you're impossible. You don't even have a shred of true qi, but you won't be able to pass the second stage and the third stage is even more impossible!"

Duan Hu had no choice but to tell Duan Meng: "Hehe, Duan Shu, trash is trash, it's impossible for you to enter the Qi Sect. Just you wait, in three years, I will enter the inner sect and become an inner sect disciple."

Duan Hu's group revealed their complacency, and Duan Meng was also calculating in his heart: Hmph, the outer court is nothing. This time I had a fortuitous encounter and must enter the inner court.

There were over a thousand people in total, and they all finished their exams, but it wasn't Duan Ru Yue's turn. Duan Kun hurriedly went over to inquire and found that the exam was already over.

Duan Kun was extremely shocked. If he missed today, then he could only wait until next year. However, next year's Duan Ren will be over 16 years old and won't be able to enter the Qi Sect. Duan Kun quickly took out the silver he brought with him, which was only about 20 silver. He gave them all to the examiner, who then agreed to break the rules and test Duan Ren on his own.

Just like all warriors, the first test was to test their strength. Duan Jian was not polite and picked up a huge rock with each rock weighing more than a thousand pounds. He passed the test easily.

The examiner was greatly alarmed. He turned to the other and said, "Old Li, it looks like a genius is about to appear this year. This Duan Jian actually holds up a rock with both hands. I wonder what will happen next?"

"Old Wang, don't panic. Raising a rock is the easiest. Being able to lift a 2000 Jin rock is not something you don't have. The key is to look at your inner strength. No inner strength is useless."

Duan Ling Tian walked to the front of the wooden stake and slowly squatted down. Taking a strange stance, he pushed out both his hands. "Crack crack crack." More than ten wooden stakes broke in the arena, and the two examiners were dumbstruck.

"Old Wang, hurry and report this to the administrator, we've discovered a rare talent!"

The person called Old Wang took out a bamboo arrow and pressed it on the trigger. A blue flame soared into the sky accompanied by an ear-piercing sound.

"You must be Duan Lian. Not bad, your inner strength is too great, it definitely exceeds the scope of outer court disciples. I have already reported it to the deacon. If you pass the deacon's test, you can directly enter the inner court and become an inner court disciple."

"Don't worry, you're not here yet." Duan Kun comforted his encounter and saw a bright dot flying over from the blue sky. As the bright dot approached, it turned out to be a crane with a fairy-like figure sitting on its back.

"Who's calling me?"

"Honored Deacon, we found a rare talent. We didn't dare to carelessly destroy it, so we could only send an arrow to inform you …"

"Hmm?"

The deacon jumped down from the crane and it flew away with a 'whoosh', "Who is it that is worthy of your fuss?". Old Li pointed at Duan Ru: "It's this youth, he broke more than ten wooden stakes with a single inner strength attack."

The deacon walked up to Duan Ru Tian: "You were the one that broke it just now?" Duan Ru hurriedly replied, "Yes."

"Good, looks like you've had a good year and there's even a genius. Fine, let me try. Duan Jian, I don't need any inner force. If you can take three moves from me, I'll break the rules and let you enter the inner sect as an inner disciple."

Hearing this, Duan Ru Yue was overjoyed. His inner force was extremely dense, but this person actually didn't use any inner force. If he did his best, then he wouldn't believe that he wouldn't make it past three moves.

The deacon was very casual, standing straight in front of the mountain gate. Duan Yi took a strange stance and attacked the deacon, and in the blink of an eye, three moves had passed. He said that as long as Duan Ren could endure three moves, he would be allowed to enter the inner sect. However, in the blink of an eye, the three moves had already passed and Duan Lian did not look defeated at all. He slowly used his inner force, causing Duan Ru Yue to instantly feel pressured.

At this moment, Duan Ru felt the other party's internal energy crushing down on him like an avalanche. Duan Meng had no choice but to use his full strength and formed a strange hand seal with his dantian's internal energy surging out, causing cold sweat to appear on the deacon's face.

"This is bad. If I can't even win against a disciple who came to take the exam, then this person will really lose a lot of face!"

With a thought, the deacon made a beautiful gesture, then made a gesture. His dantian released a wave of purple qi that coiled around his arm and attacked Duan Ren with lightning speed.

Although Duan Meng was young, seeing the purple gas around the deacon's arm made the deacon suspicious, but he didn't know why, so he just spun around and retreated ten steps, avoiding the deacon's attack. The deacon's face became much better.

"Humph, it's good that you know how powerful you are." However, the deacon was also angry. A disciple who came to take the exam and beat him up was really impatient, the deacon wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of this disaster. If he allowed Duan Ru Yue to enter the Qi Sect, he might become his sworn enemy.

Before the deacon could think about it, the purple qi in his palm surged, and was about to cover Duan Meng. As Duan Ru rose up, he also released the level seven Sky Wolf zhen Qi in his Dantian, and was about to fight with the deacon. When the deacon saw Duan Ren's true qi, which was like an endless ocean, he also wanted to avoid the tip of the blade and move behind Duan Meng to give him a fatal blow.

However, Duan Meng's attack missed. Endless amounts of true energy attacked the mountain gate, and with a "hong" sound, the mountain gate was shattered by Duan Meng's true energy. Duan Meng was also extremely frightened. A mountain gate was a symbol of a sect. If he himself was blasted into pieces, what could he do?

"Pah! Boy, it's not that I can't tolerate you, it's that you're too arrogant. You actually destroyed the mountain gate! Today, I won't forgive you!"

As if he had grabbed something, a purple ball of light appeared in his hand. Within the ball of light, there seemed to be the shadow of a black dragon, claws, fangs, and a ferocious face. Duan Jian knew that things were going to go wrong and wanted to dodge, but he was unable to escape the purple sphere.

At this moment, Duan Kun also noticed that something was wrong. "Honored Deacon, please show mercy," but the deacon didn't seem to hear him, and raised his hand high in the air, about to slap Duan Chou. At this moment, an anxious shout came from the sky: "Deacon Wu, keep people under you, there are some matters we can discuss."
