Chapter 83

Zhu Rong patted Shen Xiang's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, these True Qi Pills are all provided by the little brat, and I will be the one selling them to him, hahaha..."

"Dead pig, are you saying that Big Brother Shen will definitely lose?" Yun Xiaodao looked at Zhu Rong with a disdainful gaze.

"Since it's a bet, maybe, maybe, if I win, I'm willing to buy the True Qi Pills you don't need." Zhu Rong laughed.

"Bullshit, if I win, I won't even give them to your dog." Yun Xiaodao cursed under his breath.

Shen Xiang and Zhang De could only be speechless. During their meal and drinking, they were listening to Yun Xiaodao and Zhu Rong bickering. What Shen Xiang admired was that they could eat and curse at the same time without getting tired...

Back at the martial academy, Shen Xiang asked, "Strange, why can't I see any female disciples?"

"The Taiwu Sect doesn't accept women. It might be because the old ancestor of Taiwu isn't interested in women, so he established this ridiculous rule. This has really messed us up. Most of the disciples bring their own women to the Taiwu Sect, otherwise they can only fend for themselves..." Yun Xiaodao grinned wickedly, "Big Brother Shen, you really don't spend every night in the martial academy, do you?"

"Of course." Shen Xiang immediately understood why Tianmen City was so lively. It turned out that these wealthy young men brought their families with them.

"You're such an honest person. I thought only old guys like Old Zhang could stay in the martial academy honestly." Yun Xiaodao chuckled and left.

The sky was dim, and Shen Xiang returned to his room. He was refining True Qi Pills, and Su Meirao and Bai Youyou didn't dare to come out of the ring because they were worried about being sensed in this place full of strong people.

"Meirao, the Taiwu Sect doesn't accept female disciples, yet you still let Youlan come. Really." Shen Xiang originally thought that he could have some support from Leng Youlan in the Taiwu Sect.

"Hmph, I left here a long time ago, how could I remember such trivial matters?" Su Meirao huffed. When Shen Xiang went out today, he also brought back many different styles of beautiful dresses and some beautiful jewelry for her and Bai Youyou.

In just a few short days, Shen Xiang had integrated into the Taiwu Sect, and he had a good relationship with the senior brothers in the martial academy. He was glad to be in a harmonious martial academy and didn't want to spend his days with people who were full of schemes.

There was a huge square in the Taiwu Sect that could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. Every month, the elders of the Elder Council would give lectures here, and most of the disciples would gather here. Today was the annual entrance examination for the inner sect, which was the highlight of the year. As long as they were outer sect disciples, they all had the right to sign up.

Shen Xiang, Yun Xiaodao, and Zhang De were in a queue, preparing to take the first test. The queue was made up of disciples from the 330th martial academy, and other martial academies had to make way for them, as no one dared to provoke them.

"Big Brother Shen, have you heard? Fang Liang was crippled by you and will take a year or more to fully recover. Hehe, the Fang family is now against you." Yun Xiaodao chuckled.

Shen Xiang could only sigh helplessly. He had been lenient, otherwise he would have truly crippled Fang Liang, because he knew that the families here were different from those in the secular world. These families had True Martial Realm experts!

The first test was to measure strength, and those who failed would be eliminated.

The strength test involved punching a vertical array on a stone wall, which looked like a small puddle of water stuck to the wall. After the punch, a corresponding number would appear to represent the strength. Only those who reached a certain number could pass.

"The first test is easy, we always pass it." Zhang De said.

"The second and third tests are more difficult. I was always eliminated in the second test, and Old Zhang was the same, he never passed the second test!" Yun Xiaodao said, his face full of frustration.

"What is the second test?" Shen Xiang didn't know about the second and third tests.

At this point, a hint of fear flashed in Yun Xiaodao's eyes: "The second test is personally conducted by Elder Dan, mainly to test endurance. The third test is a comprehensive test, which changes every year, but it's always equally difficult."

Elder Dan is the second strongest person in the Taiwu Sect and the only woman. It is rumored that her seniority is even higher than the current leader of the Taiwu Sect. She is in charge of the Tai Dan Academy, and no one knows her name; everyone calls her Elder Dan.

"It's my turn, I wonder if I can break the record again." Yun Xiaodao rolled up his sleeves and said with anticipation.

Shen Xiang was behind Yun Xiaodao, and he also wanted to see Yun Xiaodao's maximum strength. Only those with a number over a thousand could pass, and many outer sect disciples were around 600, with a few at 700, but not many. It was clear that the strength of the outer sect disciples of the Taiwu Sect was very evenly distributed.

Yun Xiaodao punched the puddle of water on the stone wall, his arm sinking into it. When he pulled his hand out, the puddle of water calmed down, and a number appeared.

"2300!"

Seeing this number, everyone drew in a sharp breath, as the previous highest record was only 1800!

"Big Brother Shen, it's your turn!" Yun Xiaodao was very satisfied and patted Shen Xiang's shoulder.

Shen Xiang was also somewhat famous in the outer sect, coming from the secular world, and he had severely injured Fang Liang with one move. He also had a good relationship with Zhu Rong and was a pill refiner.

"Use your full strength, only by showing your strength can you earn respect! Just don't expose the Yin-Yang Divine Vein!" Bai Youyou's voice was high and clear.

Shen Xiang nodded, fused the Five Elements True Qi in his dantian into Qiankun True Qi, then took a deep breath and punched out. At that moment, he didn't release any True Qi, which made everyone very puzzled, as not using True Qi would greatly reduce the strength!

Shen Xiang used his full strength this time. He was confident that if he hit a mountain, it would definitely disappear. However, when he hit the array on the stone wall, it remained very calm.

He secretly marveled at the power of these mysterious arrays, which were difficult to set up in the secular world.

Shen Xiang pulled his fist out, and a number appeared on the puddle of water!

"4800!"

Seeing this number, the noisy square fell silent, and everyone's face was full of shock. Their first thought was to suspect that the array had a problem, but they quickly realized that this was impossible, as it had never happened before.

4800, this was a number that even inner sect disciples couldn't achieve, and it was more than twice Yun Xiaodao's number!

The old man in charge of supervision was also very surprised. He was a True Martial Realm expert and had noticed some clues when Shen Xiang punched. He could sense the power of the invisible True Qi, but he didn't know what kind of True Qi it was.

"Shen Xiang, 4800, pass!" The old man, who had seen a lot, immediately shouted.

Hearing this, the square suddenly erupted. An outer sect disciple had actually achieved a strength number that only a few inner sect disciples could achieve, which was simply unbelievable and hard to believe!
