The peaks pierced the sky, and the sea of clouds lingered. When one reached the peak, one could have a bird's eye view of the world. A figure stood on it, floating and refined.

This was a woman who was as beautiful as a painting. Her appearance was extremely charming, and her hair was like dark clouds floating in the air. Her slender sleeves fluttered gently, like an ethereal spiritual dance.

It can be said that the sun shines on the essence, the jade face is smooth, the words are not spoken, the air is like a quiet orchid.

" What?" The woman frowned as she looked at Shang You and muttered," Did he use a secret technique?" Although those three are only servant disciples, they are still at the ninth level of Qi Refinement. Even if this person uses a secret technique, he can't fight against them."

"Let's see how many moves I can take from the three of them."

……

The three bandits looked at each other and exchanged glances. The bandit leader gave Second and Third a look, and the two immediately understood.

A white light flashed in Second Brother's hand. In an instant, a green halberd appeared in his hand. This halberd, which looked heavy, was swung in his hand like a tiger.

The third brother did not show any signs of weakness either. A sinister and strange black pattern appeared on his body, and his eyes became pitch-black. The black patterns on his body lit up slightly, like stars in the dark night sky. His eyes suddenly swelled up, and those black eyeballs bulged as if they were about to explode from his eye sockets. He shouted angrily," My eyes are not bright at all!"

In an instant, Shang You's eyes suddenly ached. His vision turned dark as if he was in the depths of the night and could not see anything.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the halberd in Second Brother's hand tore through the air and let out a series of dragon-like roars. He used all his strength to slash down mercilessly at Shang You. He shouted," From the Dragon Fall!"

Clang! The long halberd brought with it the sound of a dragon's roar as it mercilessly smashed towards Shang You.

When the woman on the mountain saw this scene, she shook her head.

He didn't expect that the little fellow would collapse as soon as he finished speaking.

However, there was nothing he could do. Who would have expected that among the three servant disciples he casually found, one of them had comprehended an immortal technique and the other had a Numinous treasure? It seemed that the three of them were completely playing around in the battle just now, right?

If it wasn't for the fact that the three of them had low talent and hadn't stepped into the Foundation Establishment stage, they would have become official disciples long ago, right?

After the woman finished thinking, her body swayed and a clone that looked exactly like her appeared. Just as this clone was about to fly towards Shang You, her footsteps suddenly stopped.

" How is that possible?" The two identical pretty faces revealed a surprised expression at the same time.

Shang You, who should have lost his vision, suddenly became clear and broke free from the influence of the immortal technique!

" The immortal technique has been broken?!" The woman quickly shifted her gaze to the third brother of the bandit gang and found that he was standing on the spot, motionless. Seeing this, the woman frowned slightly and pointed with her finger. A stream of spiritual power flew across a thousand miles and flew to the third brother of the bandit gang.

"This is…the backlash of the immortal technique and he fell into an illusion?" The woman was shocked, but what shocked her even more was what came after!

Shang You did not dodge or evade the shocking attack. He raised his head and looked at the incoming green halberd. His hands clenched into claws, and surging spiritual energy covered them, causing a violent wind to howl. It was as if thousands of wild dragons were roaring.

"Break!"

He roared angrily and clapped his claws. The spiritual qi in the world seemed to stagnate, forming an incomparably huge spiritual qi vortex that whistled around him. When the green halberd touched this spiritual qi, it exploded with a loud bang and shattered into pieces!

The female cultivator's pupils constricted. Even though she was well-informed, she was still shocked by this scene." Destroyed the spiritual treasure?!" Such power was an immortal technique? No, no, it's not an immortal technique. Then what's going on?"

She frowned and couldn't think of a solution. In the end, she took a step forward and disappeared from the mountain peak.

Spiritual Energy coiled around Shang You's right hand as he waved it without hesitation at the Second Bandit who had lost his soul after the Spiritual Treasure shattered. A voice suddenly sounded.

"Wait a minute!"

When Shang You heard this, his hand movements actually kept moving forward, determined to kill that bandit second brother here!

But suddenly, the palm that was piercing through the air stopped moving.

Just as he was in shock, a fairy-like female cultivator suddenly appeared beside him. She had a smile on her face, and a fragrant scent spread from her brows. Her soft and gentle fingers covered Shang You's wrist.

When Shang You was gently pressed by her finger, he immediately felt the spiritual energy in his body turn into nothingness, as if it could disappear from the world at any time. He understood one thing. He could not afford to offend this woman!

The female xiu held Shang You's wrist. There was no reproach in her eyes. Instead, her eyes were filled with admiration." Decisive killing. Very good. You are not bad."

After saying that, he loosened his fingers and turned to the stunned bandit leader." This little guy is not bad. He's rated B +."

"Alright…alright!" " Yes." The bandit leader quickly acknowledged respectfully. He took out a purple jade token from the interspatial bag at his waist and ran over to pass it to Shang You." Take it."

Shang You caught the jade token in a daze. He took a look and seemed to understand.

"My name is Gu Yaoting, what's yours?" The female xiu looked at Shang You and said.

"Shang You."

Gu Yaoting was stunned." Didn't you just say,'If I don't kick you into a basket, my surname isn't Lin!' What?"

"Oh, you heard it." Shang You was not embarrassed at all. He smiled shyly." I'm just testing him. If I can't beat him, I'll just run away. Anyway, my surname is not Lin."

Gu Yaoting's gentle expression paused for a moment, then her expression returned to normal.

Shang You looked at this extraordinary female cultivator and asked,"Fairy, may I ask if this is part of the Qing Xiao Grotto-heaven disciple assessment?" 

Gu Yaoting's eyes were filled with praise. She nodded and replied," That's right. This is the first test of the disciple selection. For cultivators, decisiveness is very important. Therefore, this test is to see your reaction to sudden situations."

" We will send out four disciples. Three will pretend to be bandits and one will pretend to be a scholar. We will let them pretend to be in a robbery scene. The basis for the judgment will be: if the examinee thinks for less than three breaths, they will help out. If they run away within three breaths, they will help out. If they run away after three breaths, they will help out. If they run away after three breaths, they will help out. Regardless of whether you run away or not, they will let you fight with these three 'bandits.' Then, they will further evaluate you according to your strength."

" Just now, you turned around and left, but you suddenly turned back to help. This shows that you are not decisive enough. I should have given you a C grade, but your strength is really shocking, so I will give you a B grade."

Hearing this, Shang You understood. So that was what happened. So…damn it, it was all the system's fault!

If he didn't want the scholar to trigger the mission, how could he turn around and help!

Bastard system, give me back my score!

Sigh, wait, if he triggered the mission…it meant that Scholar was sincerely asking for help and was not acting!

What was going on?

Shang You's eyes were filled with doubt. Just as he wanted to speak, someone spoke before him.

The handsome scholar looked at Gu Yaoting with a bitter expression." Yaoting, I'm also here to participate in the assessment. Why did I become that kidnapped scholar?!"

Gu Yaoting's expression instantly changed from an indifferent smile to a frosty expression. She was very smooth." Because I was deliberately torturing you, I let the person who played the scholar go rest. Do you have any objections?"

"No, no." The scholar was very submissive.

" That's good. If you have any opinions, you can say it. Our Green Firmament Grotto-heaven has always been fair and just." Gu Yaoting returned to a smile. She turned to the bandit leader and said," Give this poor scholar a token. Remember to give him a worn-out token."
