41: Chapter 41 There's No Rush

The image on the bronze mirror changed again, but this time, only Meng Ruizhu could be seen.

Half a quarter of an hour passed, the image shattered, and words appeared on the bronze mirror.

'Heart-Nature (Average)'

The Deacon of Tianque Peak waved his brush to record it, then looked at Meng Ruizhu: "Which peak do you wish to join?"

Meng Ruizhu carefully looked toward the Deacon of Zhanlong Peak, only to see him staring at the table, not knowing what he was looking at.

She then looked at the Deacon of Tianque Peak, seeing him raise his brush, but remaining still for a long time.

She looked again at the Deacon of Wendao Peak, who was squinting his eyes, appearing as if he were about to fall asleep.

Helpless, Meng Ruizhu hesitated for a moment between the Deacons of Jinding Peak and Powang Peak, then said: "This Disciple wishes to join Jinding Peak."

The Deacon of Jinding Peak waved his brush and wrote down Meng Ruizhu's name: "Accepted."

Soon, it was the turn of the second female Disciple.

The evaluation she received before the bronze mirror was quite different from Meng Ruizhu's; most of her ratings were Grade D, and she joined Powang Peak.

The third male Disciple also did not have any remarkable achievements and joined Jinding Peak.

The crowd of Inner Courtyard Disciples who had come to find patterns and gain experience felt their hearts tighten: "Entering the Main Sect is truly difficult!"

"With Senior Sister Meng Ruizhu's Aptitude, she is already outstanding in the Inner Courtyard, but placed in the Main Sect, she can only barely be rated as Grade C-Medium. Although she isn't at the bottom, she really cannot be considered outstanding!"

"The Main Sect is a forest of Geniuses; being rated Grade C-Medium is already very good!"

"Indeed, I fear that when it comes to our turn, we will be no different from the two Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters behind us, and can only be rated as Grade D."

The Deacon of Tianque Peak: "Feng Zhiyuan."

'Entering the first of the Great Four Passes in three years, he is indeed a good seedling.' Looking at the information about Feng Zhiyuan in his hand, the Deacon's eyes, originally calm and waveless, immediately gained a bit of vitality.

The round-faced Feng Zhiyuan immediately stepped forward and stood before the mirror.

'Slayed 74 demons of the Five Viscera Realm'

'True Qi (Grade B-Medium)'

'Sword Technique (Grade B-Low)'

"Oh!" All seven Deacons' eyes brightened slightly.

Such an evaluation could already be considered the first tier beneath the Ten Heroes; he could be called a Genius.

Soon, the image on the bronze mirror shifted, and the words of the second evaluation appeared.

'Beneath the Sword Worship Stone, comprehended four swords, comparable to the might of a superior Life Spring sword technique'

'Comprehension Ability (Grade B-High)'

The Deacon of Wendao Peak leaned forward slightly: "Comprehension Ability Grade B-High; this child should join my Wendao Peak to study Cultivation Technique and sword techniques."

The Deacon of Tianque Peak laughed: "He could also join my Tianque Peak."

The Deacons of Jinding Peak and Powang Peak said: "The Sword in the Hand lineage could also join our sects."

The bronze mirror's evaluation had not yet finished, and already four peak Deacons had simultaneously affirmed him.

In other words, including the Sect Master's lineage, Feng Zhiyuan could already choose freely.

On the bronze mirror, the final evaluation appeared.

'Heart-Nature (Good)'

The Deacon of Zhanlong Peak also spoke up: "He may join Zhanlong Peak."

The five Deacons representing the five peaks all gave their consent, leaving Feng Zhiyuan to choose. Compared to the three, including Meng Ruizhu, before him, the treatment was worlds apart.

Not to mention those Inner Courtyard Disciples who had come to observe and use it as a reference, even Meng Ruizhu, who had already joined Jinding Peak, wore an expression of envy, 'If I had such an evaluation, how wonderful that would be!'

Feng Zhiyuan smiled and ultimately joined Wendao Peak.

Following closely was Zhang Yundu; this tall and thin Genius was not the least bit inferior to Feng Zhiyuan.

'Slayed 85 demons of the Five Viscera Realm'

'True Qi (Grade B-Low)'

'Sword Technique (Grade B-High)'

'Comprehension Ability (Grade B-High)'

'Heart-Nature (Good)'

"Two Grade B-High ratings!" The five Deacons looked at Feng Zhiyuan simultaneously.

"His sword technique attainments are even higher than Feng Zhiyuan's, and in terms of pure strength, he is also stronger than Feng Zhiyuan."

"Remarkable, in the future, he might have hope of competing for a spot in the top thirty beneath the Ten Heroes."

Zhang Yundu glanced at the round-faced, slightly chubby Feng Zhiyuan with a fair amount of pride, but when he looked at Zhu Wenjiu, who already had stubble, his eyes held a bit more seriousness.

He chose to join Tianque Peak, the Sect Master's lineage.

When it was Zhu Wenjiu's turn to step forward, Zhang Yundu and Feng Zhiyuan followed closely with their gaze.

'Slayed 94 demons of the Five Viscera Realm'

'True Qi (Grade B-High)'

'Sword Technique (Grade B-High)'

'Comprehension Ability (Grade B-High)'

'Heart-Nature (Excellent)'

"Three Grade B-High ratings, one Excellent; this child..." The five Deacons exchanged glances, "I fear he could join the top twenty, or even the top ten, beneath the Ten Heroes!"

Especially since Comprehension Ability, Sword Technique, Heart-Nature, etc., are not immutable; they will change along with personal experience, strength, and shifts in Heart-Nature.

After going to the Main Sect to train, in the future, he might be able to compete for the position of Ten Heroes of the various peaks!

The five Main Peaks were his to choose from, but unexpectedly, Zhu Wenjiu ultimately chose 'Powang Peak'.

'This guy is indeed stronger than me!' Zhang Yundu secretly clenched his fists.

"Yu Xiu." The Deacon of Tianque Peak looked at the information in his hand, then took an extra look at Yu Xiu.

Although he also entered the first of the Great Four Passes in three years, Yu Xiu was different from Zhu Wenjiu and the other two.

Unfortunately, he had already cultivated the Dragon-Slaying and Evil-Purging Sword, and was a person internally selected by Zhanlong Peak.

"I will join Zhanlong Peak." Yu Xiu did not go before the bronze mirror; this did not have much to do with him.

"What is going on? Even Zhu Wenjiu, Zhang Yundu, and the other two had to go before the mirror to be able to choose a peak. What kind of background does this Senior Brother Yu have that he can directly choose Zhanlong Peak?"

The many Inner Courtyard Disciples watching the spectacle were stunned, not understanding why.

"Could it be that he is the descendant of some Elder from Zhanlong Peak?"

In the crowd, Senior Brother Zhao Hong, Senior Sister Xu Rou, Shan Yu, and Senior Brother Liu Qingchuan exchanged glances, all seeing the bitterness in each other's eyes.

'As expected, the Senior Brother Yu mentioned by that Senior Brother from the Law Enforcement Hall is Yu Xiu!'

'He is going to join the Main Sect!'

And he is an internally selected Disciple of Zhanlong Peak!

Because Yu Xiu had not gone before the bronze mirror, yet none of the five Deacons from the five peaks spoke up to reprimand him; clearly, it was already tacitly accepted!

'Two months, only two months! He has actually already become a Great Four Passes practitioner!' The shock in Senior Brother Liu Qingchuan's eyes was greater than the bitterness.

Because this was too shocking!

The Deacon of Zhanlong Peak smiled: "Junior Brother Yu, you may go before the bronze mirror."

"If the evaluation reaches Grade B, the Main Peak will provide a reward of contribution points. Are you really going to refuse a free benefit?"

Yu Xiu changed his tone: "Actually, I am not in a rush, but there is no harm in going."

He strode before the bronze mirror.

In an instant, countless gazes fell upon Yu Xiu.

Even Zhu Wenjiu, Zhang Yundu, and the other two could not be an exception.

'I want to see what kind of evaluation an internally selected person receives!' Zhang Yundu stared intently.
