A team of Cang Qiong disciples suddenly appeared on the high platform at the front of the square.

They were all dressed in the uniform light blue disciple uniform of Cangkong, with tall postures and full of energy, and the leader was Chen Xiu.

The voice blessed by spiritual power rang clearly in everyone's ears, and the square became quiet.

After listening to this, Chu Xinglan roughly understood that the assessment of Cangqiong Mountain is divided into three levels.

As long as you pass the first two levels, you will become an outer disciple of Cangqiong Mountain. The third level is just a screening. Those with good talents will directly enter the inner gate. If you catch the eyes of the elders, you will be accepted directly, which is even more impressive.

After Chen Xiu gave a brief introduction, he announced the start of the first round of assessment.

The first level is to climb the ladder to heaven, which has a total of 999 steps. The pressure increases as you go up, and what is mainly tested is patience, resilience, and physical fitness.

Ordinary people can pass the ladder if they can climb 600 steps within an hour. As for those who have already drawn Qi into their bodies or have some cultivation, the ladder will automatically identify them and adjust the difficulty according to their cultivation level. The standard line is also 600 steps.

The main point is fairness.

Chu Xinglan did not act in a hurry, but waited until most people in the square had entered. Then he stretched himself, jumped off the tree and ran towards the entrance.

Perhaps because Chen Xiu had given instructions, the disciple guarding the entrance was not surprised to see him. He checked his ID card and let him in directly.

Chu Xinglan only felt a flash before his eyes, and he seemed to appear in another world. He raised his head and looked around, but there was no other person. He didn't know if it was the characteristic of this ladder or if he was being treated differently.

Chu Xinglan stepped carefully onto the first step, but didn't feel anything. He tentatively ran up two more steps, but still didn't feel anything.

Chu Xinglan simply increased his speed and rushed towards the finish line.

Cangqiong Mountain, the meeting hall.

Sect leader Xu Zhuo and more than a dozen elders were chatting while looking at the scene inside the ladder through the water mirror.

They have to observe the progress of the assessment to prevent cheating, and also be prepared for any accidents so that they can provide timely rescue.

"Why do I see so many familiar faces? Are those old guys so shameless as to send their most trusted disciples here?"

“I can’t say I can call him a proud disciple, but those below the foundation building stage should all be here.”

"It's because the headmaster said that there is no discrimination in education, and he let them take advantage of him."

When Xu Zhuo heard the topic turned to him, he coughed lightly.

"If I can really absorb these good seedlings and use them for my own benefit, it will not be bad for my Cang Qiong. They all have good talents. If I teach them well, they will become great in the future."

"But I'm afraid that he is in Cao's camp but his heart is with Han. If that happens, we will lose both the lady and the soldiers."

Xu Zhuo wanted to defend himself, but when he thought of Sang Yunqi's methods, he shut his mouth. You know shit, a bunch of idiots. No wonder the ancestor is less and less willing to come out!

Suddenly, someone pointed at the water mirror and exclaimed.

"What just passed by?"

Everyone looked up and saw on one of the small screens a white shadow running quickly towards the finish line. Because it was running so fast, they couldn't even see clearly what it was.

“This doesn’t look like a human, does it?”

"Why do you look familiar to me?"

Xu Zhuo could tell at a glance that the shadow was Chu Xinglan. Although he knew that the ancestor must have had some support for him to participate, he was still a little surprised at the speed.

At this time, Chu Xinglan became more and more excited as he ran.

He found that his speed seemed to be much faster than when he first came through, and he did not feel any discomfort in his body.

After thinking about it, he used all his strength and jumped out of the ladder without any preparation.

Looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of him and the few Cang Qiong disciples who were chatting, three question marks slowly appeared above Chu Xinglan's head.

Am I the first one?

Am I so strong?

Just when he was still doubting his life, Chen Xiu appeared from nowhere and looked at him with a smile.

"Congratulations to this young friend for winning the first place. Please take a rest on the side. The second level of the test will begin after the test is over."

Chu Xinglan looked at him eagerly, wanting to ask something, but saw Chen Xiu shook his head at him imperceptibly, obviously trying to avoid suspicion.

When he turned his head, he saw those disciples looking at him curiously, so Chu Xinglan had to shut his mouth.

He looked around, found a tree that looked good and jumped onto it.

Chen Xiu said a few more words to those disciples, and then he disappeared again.

On the other side, the back mountain.

Sang Yunqi was lying leisurely in a rocking chair under a tree, and just above his sight was a familiar small mirror floating.

The mirror clearly showed Chu Xinglan's confused look after he stepped out of the ladder.

Thinking of the other party's angry face after he threw it out in the morning, Sang Yunqi couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

After estimating the time, Sang Yunqi stood up and walked towards the middle of the mountain.

……

"The time has come, and the assessment is over. Disciples who have passed the assessment, please gather here."

Chu Xinglan opened his eyes and saw that there were already some people standing below, but there were obviously fewer people than at the first level. It seemed that those who failed would be automatically teleported to other places.

The location of the second level is not here. Chu Xinglan jumped down from the tree, randomly chose a place behind the crowd and sat down obediently.

Around me were a few teenagers who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, who were excitedly sharing their experiences of passing the customs with each other.

At this moment, they were all shocked to see a monster suddenly appear beside them.

One of them looked brave enough and cautiously took two steps towards Chu Xinglan and asked curiously.

"Are you a contracted beast?"

Chu Xinglan did not sense any malice from him and shook his head.

"I am here to take the test, too."

"Wow, you can actually talk!"

"Then can you become a human?"

After receiving the response, several teenagers started asking questions one after another.

This movement obviously alarmed the people in front. For a moment, Chu Xinglan felt like a monkey being watched in a zoo, and his mouth twitched fiercely.

Chen Xiu also came over at this time and blocked Chu Xinglan behind him without leaving a trace.

"Everyone, the second level of the test will begin soon. Let's go and don't waste time."

Although everyone was very curious about Chu Xinglan, it was obvious that this was nothing compared to their own future, so they lined up and walked towards the second level of assessment.

The young master who spoke to Chu Xinglan at the beginning deliberately walked at the back and spoke in a low voice.

"My name is Song Ling. I wish you good luck in your exam. See you later!"

Chu Xinglan nodded and politely gave his name.

"Chu Xinglan, see you later."
