Douluo Dragon King: I, the wielder of the Holy Sword, will vanquish all evil.

Chapter 54 Something is wrong!
On the white earth, two figures intertwined like flowing light, then separated in an instant.

The thirty-second countdown flowed silently amidst the electronic voice, and a flash of understanding crossed Su Qiu's eyes.

This was only the first test, and under this system's judgment, "Beibei's" Ghostly Shadow Steps were very unfamiliar.

That's precisely why Su Qiu was able to better control the rhythm and savor the experience.

In the previous few exchanges, the opponent's footwork seemed unpredictable, but in fact, each step had a specific rhythm, both avoiding attacks and concealing the power to counterattack.

"Thirty seconds are up, first level passed."

The two intertwined figures suddenly stopped.

"The second level begins. Defeat your opponent, or last another thirty seconds."

Beibei rushed over again.

Shaking her head, Su Qiu knew there was no need to delay any longer.

The Ghostly Shadow Steps technique isn't suitable for him; it can be used as a reference, but he shouldn't try to learn it in depth.

He raised his hand and threw a punch, which collided with the opponent's dragon claw.

In an instant, Beibei, who had been rushing towards them, flew back at an even faster speed and disappeared.

The electronic voice seemed to pause for a moment before continuing: "Second level passed."

"Advanced assessment, first level, prepare."

With a flash of light, Beibei reappeared, but this time it was clear that she was several years older. Her figure was more mature, and her aura was several times stronger.

But when it came to Su Qiu, the outcome remained unchanged.

With just one simple punch, Beibei crumbled, utterly powerless to retaliate.

"Pass the first level, then pass the second."

No matter how difficult the subsequent levels became, they couldn't stop Su Qiu's attack.

Aside from the fact that he has a battle armor, Su Qiu's strength has already reached the Soul Emperor level, making him a numerical monster at this stage.

After the assessment, everyone gathered together to discuss it.

Tang Wulin's face was covered in bruises. He quickly asked his good friend Xie Xie, "How many levels did you pass?"

Xie Xie, equally disheveled and with an extremely grim expression, replied, "Just one level! My opponent was faster and more explosive than me, completely dominating me in close combat. I got thrashed. How about you?"

Tang Wulin smiled wryly and said, "I'll count it as two trials. I got through the second one by sheer willpower; I'm pretty resilient."

Xie Xie immediately fell silent, staring at Tang Wulin with an unfriendly gaze.

Dude, you've passed two levels, what are you barking about here for?!
After the exam, I thought my best friend would do the same as me, but he actually did better and is still complaining to me. Who can stand that?

Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi, two buddies, also stuck together for warmth, asking each other about their grades.

Gu Yue and Na'er exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes. They had both fallen at the final hurdle, to a black-haired youth whose pupils gleamed with an eerie light. Gu Yue looked at Su Qiu, as if asking a question.

"I also failed at the last hurdle. Don't worry, no one can actually get past this one." Su Qiu noticed Gu Yuena'er's shock and explained to them.

At the same time, I felt a little helpless.

The Tang Clan has truly lost all sense of shame.

When Su Qiu recognized Huo Yuhao in the final round, he still wanted to experience the thrill of crushing the chosen one. Huo Yuhao's combat skills in the early stages were actually quite average.

But the result was that Huo Yuhao killed him instantly with a single mental attack.

No way, you think you can beat me in a second?
It's obvious that the Tang Sect had no intention of letting anyone pass the final test.

Su Qiu admitted that Huo Gua was indeed very strong; his mental power was in a class of its own, but he simply didn't know how to use it. Let alone instantly kill him.

It would be more appropriate to switch to Electrolux.

In the early stages, Huo Yuhao's actual strength was only so-so; he mainly relied on the group of old men inside him.

If you can't beat them, just use the Heavenly Rank Battle Technique: Ghost Possession.

The Tang Sect was completely unaware of this; they simply kept piling on the numerical values ​​of the simulated Huo Yuhao. During the final exam, he unexpectedly encountered Feng Lingyueying and, despite his best efforts, could not defeat her.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, you can understand why the Tang Sect set up the final challenge in this way.

After all, the candidates being assessed were all the revivers of the Tang Clan.

If someone passes all the tests, it proves that they have utterly defeated the Tang Clan's ancestor.

Doesn't the Tang Clan have any pride?
Even if they manage to pass, it will only be because their soul power level completely overwhelms them.

The Tang Clan will not allow anyone to bypass their level and defeat someone below them. It's a matter of face.

Wu Changkong stood quietly to the side, waiting for them to discuss.

After everyone recovered, Wu Changkong beckoned them to come forward.

As soon as they approached, a strong spatial fluctuation emanated from them, and everyone was instantly teleported into an office.

Wu Changkong gestured for them to sit down and slowly began, "In the assessment, you encountered opponents of the same level, and all of them were real Soul Masters. Because it was a simulation, this was only 70% of their strength. How do you think you compare to them?"

Did it really exist?
Tang Wulin and the others were shocked.

But Su Qiu was an honest child and bravely retorted, "Really? I don't believe it."

What does the simulation have to do with how much of his strength he can unleash?

The data was filled in by the Tang Sect themselves; they can just adjust it upwards.

And
"Seventy percent strength? If you say seventy percent, I'll barely believe you."

Times are changing, and the Tang Clan today has no idea what their ancestors from ten thousand years ago were like. They can only rely on the geniuses of this era for reference.

But can the geniuses of ten thousand years ago be the same as the geniuses of today?

So, even disregarding the final defeat of Huo, the other practice questions were far superior to the original version from ten thousand years ago.

If the realm of gods hadn't ceased to exist, countless people in this era could have become gods.

"Ahem." Looking at Su Qiu's rebuttal, Wu Changkong found it difficult to answer this question.

Because he doesn't believe it either.

During the initial assessment, Wu Changkong was so badly beaten that he questioned his existence.

But that's what the seniors said back then, so Wu Changkong had no choice but to accept it.

Quickly skipping over that question, Wu Changkong continued, "There are two reasons why I brought you here. First, the Spirit Ascension Platform is no longer useful for training you, except for increasing the age of your soul rings."

"The Hall of Heroes is a higher-level training ground for real combat. Compared to the extinct soul beasts in reality, battles with soul masters are more useful to you. It will also be automatically protected, making it safer than the Spirit Ascension Platform."

"Secondly, passing this assessment means you are qualified to join the organization behind it, which will be very helpful for your future."

Secondly, Wu Changkong was mainly speaking to Tang Wulin and the others.

After learning that Su Qiu's uncle was the Dragon Sparrow Douluo, Wu Changkong knew that the other party was already a direct descendant of the Spirit Pagoda and it was impossible for him to join the Tang Sect.

"What organization is it?" Xie Xie came from a prominent family and was hesitant about joining any organization.

"Tangmen."

The moment the words "Tang Clan" were uttered, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Wang Jinxi, and Zhang Yangzi were all shaken.

The Tang Sect is a legendary organization well-known throughout the Douluo Continent. It has been involved in tens of thousands of years of history on the continent, and many major historical events on the continent are related to it.

Su Qiu and Na'er remained unmoved, observing quietly; they were now members of the Spirit Pagoda.

Gu Yue fell into deep thought after learning that this was the test for joining the Tang Sect.

　I will update twice a day without fail.

　　That's all I'm counting on for perfect attendance.

　　If I stop updating, all my writing will be for nothing.
