Chapter 428: Recruiting a Disciple

In the underground palace, lit by two rows of oil lamps, Wang Zhifan and a few teenagers who had not yet entered the tower only waited for a minute before the first person to be eliminated appeared.

It was a young man in Tsing Yi who suddenly appeared in front of the bronze door of the Black Tower. When he appeared, his childish face was filled with a look of astonishment. He was lowering his head and checking his legs back and forth, as if he couldn't believe it. They are still intact.

"Young man, it's a pity that you failed to pass the test. You can return to the ground and go home now."

Wang Zhifan, who was standing with his arms crossed next to the black tower, immediately said to the young man in Tsing Yi who was still in a state of shock and confusion, announcing his failure.

The little boy who was looking down at his legs was suddenly frightened by the words coming from the side and jumped up. After he saw clearly that the speaker was Master Wu Zun, he begged Wang Zhifan with some embarrassment:

"Lord Wu Zun! Please give me another chance! This time I will never fall off the mountain again..."

But before he could finish speaking, Wang Zhifan immediately stopped him sternly:

"Stop it! Each of you only has one chance! If you don't want to give up, come back to Wuzun Palace in two years! Now go up and find your elders!"

As a master, his aura was already extraordinary. Even if he only released less than one ten thousandth of it at this moment, the young man in green was so frightened that he shut up quickly, took two short legs and fled towards the entrance of the underground palace.

There is no way, the significance of the test set by Wang Zhifan is here. If everyone begs him and gives him a second chance, then how can he achieve his purpose of selecting outstanding disciples? Doesn’t it mean that we have to admit a lot of good and bad people?

In fact, the young man just now did poorly in the test. Wang Zhifan relied on his mysterious connection with the Black Tower to know that he fell down while forcibly climbing the mountain road and was eliminated, which perfectly reflected his lack of qualifications.

For example, seeing that the mountain road is steep, but only knowing how to climb up without thinking of other ways to climb the mountain, it means that he is not smart enough.

When he forced himself to climb up, he was so frightened that his body was shaking and his movements were unbalanced. He fell down before he could even reach a foot high, which showed that he also lacked courage and physical coordination, and his future as a warrior was slim.

All in all, although the test designed by Wang Zhifan is not particularly professional, it is enough to test whether a person has the qualifications he values.

He doesn't decide to accept a disciple just by looking at whether others pass the test. As long as he can show characteristics that satisfy him in the test, he may be accepted as a disciple.

But for someone like this one who exposed many shortcomings right from the start, forget it. He doesn't want to delay others from finding another career.

When the first person to be eliminated left the underground palace, several teenagers who had stayed outside the tower also reacted and walked towards the brass door one after another.

"The man came out unscathed just now, which shows that there is no real danger inside..."

Not long ago, the commoner boy who was so nervous that he was sweating on his forehead was cheering himself up in his mind. He should be a more cautious character, but he didn't want to delay the test and delay things, so now he boldly asked the Black Tower Copper Go to the door.

Another girl in brocade clothes who was paid attention to by Wang Zhifan has a more unrestrained personality. She obviously noticed the important information about falling from the mountain mentioned by the boy who was eliminated before, so she now has some guesses in her mind about the content of the test. As soon as he accelerated a little, he rushed to the common boy and entered the copper gate first.

The same was true for the other teenagers. After seeing teenagers who had the same doubts about the Black Tower as them entering one after another, it was naturally impossible for them to force themselves to stay outside. Within a few seconds, they all joined the test of the Black Tower.

"That's right... If these kids continue to struggle and dare not enter the tower, I will eliminate them on the spot because they are indecisive and have no courage."

Wang Zhifan thought with satisfaction when he saw everyone entering the tower, and then continued to focus on the nearly a hundred independent spaces inside the black tower, monitoring the progress of the teenagers at any time.

In fact, Black Tower has a very powerful multi-line recording function, which does not require him to watch it in real time. He can choose to retrieve the record after the results are out, but he still observes on-site from time to time, partly because of curiosity, and partly to be on the safe side. , to prevent unexpected situations.

At this time, he adjusted his vision to the first person to enter the tower, that is, to observe the thin young man who rushed into the black tower without any scruples after following his instructions.

Based on his first impression, he thought this person would have a rather reckless character, but now he found that this guy was quite smart and quite talented.

According to the test records, after entering the test, this skinny boy immediately rejected the steep mountain road ahead of him. It only took him two minutes to find the hidden passage to the top of the mountain. He has now passed through the passage and reached the top of the mountain.

His performance on the top of the mountain was also remarkable. He did not go up to expose his whereabouts in a hurry. Instead, he observed the surrounding situation very carefully. He found the BOSS demon before he found him, and he did not get trapped because the BOSS looked scary. Panicked, he was hiding in the dark and thinking about how to deal with this opponent.

Wang Zhifan noticed that the skinny boy's eyes were wandering between the weapons on the ground behind the demon and the giant bird in the distance. It can be speculated that he had already thought of several solutions.

Moving away from this tester who was making good progress, Wang Zhifan then observed several other teenagers who entered earlier.

He saw one of them trying hard to climb the mountain path and was about to approach the top of the mountain. However, an eagle happened to fly and attack him at this time, causing a lot of interference to him. He was already in a huge crisis of falling down the mountain path. .

Another young man was even more unlucky. He finally climbed to the top of the mountain with several peck wounds on his body. As soon as he climbed up, he was discovered by a nearby demon. He was running frantically, and his physical strength was rapidly exhausted. He was about to die. The demon caught up and completely tore him apart.

There was another young man who was also in trouble. When Wang Zhifan looked at him, he found that he was lying on the back of a giant bird and being carried around by the giant bird. He might not be able to hold on to the feathers of the giant bird in the next second and turn into a flying man.

In this case, when the giant bird was riding a ride to the top of the mountain, he was not careful enough and accidentally angered the giant bird. It is hard to say how big the chance of remediation will be later.

There were a total of ninety-nine tests with different conditions. Wang Zhifan only briefly inspected about thirty of them before he suddenly turned his attention and looked inside the underground palace, because someone else was out, and they were out at once. Three.

"You three have failed the test. Please return to the hall and leave with your elders."

This time, Wang Zhifan deliberately spoke in a harsher style, so that the three young men did not dare to say even half a sentence, so they walked towards the underground palace gate dejectedly.

This method of handling may be a bit strict for children, but the screening is so cruel. They all know where they failed and will not think that they have been wronged and buried. Even if they are not convinced, they must be convinced in their hearts.

"It is estimated that it will be time for a large-scale elimination soon. I have not yet found an elimination candidate that satisfies me. I wonder if such talents will appear in the future."

Wang Zhifan just asked the three teenagers to leave. He didn't just declare them to be eliminated because they failed to pass the test. He made the decision after taking a quick look at each person's test records before making the decision.

If an eliminated person performs very well in a certain aspect during the test, he will also accept him as a disciple.

In this way, as time passed slowly and unhurriedly, more and more teenagers were forcibly transferred out of the Black Tower, facing their fate of failure.

Many of them were accidentally eliminated when they encountered interference at the last moment of climbing the steep mountain path, and some were immediately confused after seeing the terrifying demon on the top of the mountain. The demon did not force them. In too many cases, the speed of light is in vain.

Wang Zhifan sentenced these young men who wanted to practice martial arts to give up their dreams and return to their respective families. His standards for accepting disciples were not very strict, but the talents displayed by these people really could not impress him.

It wasn't until half a cup of tea that the first tester who truly passed the level and satisfied him appeared.

Wang Zhifan had already had the impression that he was the one who communicated with Xuan Zhenzi for two players in the hall some time ago. It happened that at that time, Xuan Zhenzi touched the bones and praised the extraordinary young man.

This young man is taller and stronger than other people of his age, and his skin is slightly darker with a slightly "copper skin" feel. Physically speaking, he may be the most suitable for practicing martial arts among this group of students, and he is in the test The performance did not disappoint.

Wang Zhifan can know from the records of the Black Tower that he chose to climb the steep mountain road in front of him to reach the top as soon as he entered the test, but he did have the strength. Even though the test automatically increased the difficulty because he climbed too fast, four tasks were arranged for him. An eagle came to stop him, but he calmly solved the trouble and reached the top of the mountain with minor injuries despite the interference.

His performance was even more outstanding when facing the demon on the top of the mountain. Not only did he not panic at all when he saw the terrifying demon, he also took the lead in launching a fierce attack on the demon, directly overwhelming the enemy with his momentum.

If that were the case, Wang Zhifan would not be particularly satisfied with his evaluation of him as brave or reckless. It was his subsequent performance that moved him.

First of all, because of the special setting of the test, the demon this boy faced would also be a bit stronger than him, and much stronger than the demons faced by other testers, which put him under a lot of pressure. Belongs to the same level as other testers.

What is commendable is that this young man did not panic when he found that he could not defeat the demon head-on, nor did he bite the bullet and fight for his life. He was calm and calm, and he changed his battle strategy as soon as he found that he was unable to defeat him.

He first went around behind the demon to seize the weapon and continued fighting. After finding that it was still not safe enough, he gradually guided the demon to the edge of the cliff while the two parties were dealing with each other. Finally, he seized the opportunity and knocked the demon off the cliff with a stick, and he fell to his death below. On the sharp stone, he passed the level with almost minor injuries.

If we give an overall evaluation, in Wang Zhifan's opinion, this young man belongs to the type of person who has very good physical fitness and is also very talented in fighting. This kind of person is a good material for practicing martial arts. If he has good understanding of martial arts, If it is high enough, it will be enough to be called a martial arts genius.

"You performed well in the test, would you like to be my disciple?"

At this time, in the underground palace illuminated by the light of the oil lamp, among the envious eyes of more than a dozen young people who were judged to be eliminated by Wang Zhifan, Wang Zhifan lowered his head and looked at the tall and sturdy young man with slightly darker skin.

"Master, please accept my disciple Qin Quan's obeisance!"

The tall, bronze-skinned young man was very wise and showed his wish with practical actions on the spot.

"Well, there is no need to be polite. Go up there and find the Taoist who touched your bones and ask him to arrange your accommodation. I will officially teach you martial arts tomorrow."

Wang Zhifan immediately waved his hand and asked the first disciple to go through the formalities. After all, as the master of Wuzun Hall, he was only responsible for the core aspects. Some trivial matters were currently being helped by others. He himself did not need to pay attention to the details. .

In fact, if he wanted, he could have asked Qing Yangzi's disciples to help him complete the selection process, but Wang Zhifan felt that even if he was destined to be a passerby, he couldn't be too casual, so he set up his own test items to select disciples that he was satisfied with.

After the first disciple was confirmed, the subsequent ones were forced to be transferred out of the black tower one by one, and they failed to meet Wang Zhifan's standard for accepting disciples.

Wang Zhifan also retrieved their test records and browsed them separately. There were also several seedlings with decent qualifications, but unfortunately, they all appeared after the talented teenager Qin Quan.

If they could come out earlier, Wang Zhifan might accept them for training because of the little highlights they showed in the test, but after Qin Quan appeared, Wang Zhifan's vision was naturally raised.

He did not require every disciple to be as talented as Qin Quan, but they certainly could not be too different. This led to the situation where the teenager who originally had the hope of reaching his initial standard encountered a sudden increase in the standard, just like the capricious fate, playing a joke on the unlucky guy.

It was not until the first group of people came out of the Black Tower that Wang Zhifan selected a total of three disciples, including Qin Quan, who was confirmed the earliest.

The other two lucky ones were people Wang Zhifan remembered.

One of them was the thin boy who entered the Black Tower first. This guy was the type who was particularly agile. It took a long time to achieve the achievement of passing the level without injury. The way he passed the level was to provoke a battle between the demon and the giant bird on the top of the mountain, and killed the demon with the power of the giant bird, and he himself had not been touched by the demon once.

The other one was the brocade-clothed girl who did not enter the Black Tower in the first round. Wang Zhifan found that this girl should be the strongest among the first hundred people, because she already had the entry-level Taoist cultivation, and flew directly to the top of the mountain to fight the demon, without climbing or looking for secret passages.

The demon she faced was also powerful and had considerable flying ability, but this girl was very good at fighting. She relied on her own operation to beat the demon to death one palm after another. It can be said that she was the only one among all the testers who relied on the advantage of fighting skills to solve the demon head-on. It can be said that she was a genius.

Wang Zhifan thought that the girl was just joking around, maybe she was a descendant of one of the three great sects in Tianyuan City.

The girl said that she had inherited her cultivation from her family and had only been in Tianyuan City for a few days. She originally planned to go to Zhenxu Palace to seek the Tao, but she was also interested in martial arts, and came to try when she knew that Wuzun Palace was recruiting disciples.
