The Fourth Calamity: My Sect Has Countless Prodigies

Chapter 109

The running-knife rat rolled its eyes at him.

Only useless people would attribute the success or failure of something entirely to good or bad luck.

The assessment ended quickly, and the running-knife rat returned to the open field, the preliminary examination site, carrying three frost-jointed bamboo stalks.

As for that cultivator, not only was he kicked out for failing the assessment, but he was also stripped of all his possessions and given to the knife-wielding rat for disrupting the assessment.

A month's effort was almost wasted; it was truly a losing proposition.

The knife-wielding rat then changed its mind and listened to the final ranking of this assessment.

Surprisingly, despite the disturbance at the examination site, eight cultivators still managed to pass the assessment.

There was even one person with plenty of time who chopped down four frost-jointed bamboo stalks, making him even more formidable than the one with the "spirit rat" cheat code.

But all of this is no longer relevant to him.

All the running-knife rat knew was that he could stay here.

And tonight, I can go out for drinks with my good buddies again.

In a corner unknown to him, Zhou Qingshan looked at the knife-wielding rat who had passed the test, wanting to say something, but in the end, it all turned into a smile.

The running-knife-wielding rat was excited and quickly posted his experience on the player forum.

Passing this test has sparked discussion among players.

After all, everyone knows that the Zhou family used to be an enemy of the Qingxuan Sect, and their chief steward, Zhou Qinghe, even came to their door to cause trouble.

If it weren't for Sect Master Zhou Yi's timely arrival, the two powerful figures, Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, might have given up their first lives.

Running-knife rat: "Hahaha, heaven has not forsaken me! It was really worth cutting so much bamboo."

When the stars of humanity shine brightly: "Hey, Mouse, no offense, but others may not know how you got through this, but surely you know it yourself?"

Running Knife Mouse: "What you're saying is true. Xiaobai's hard work is also our hard work."

Instantly activating Sage Mode: "Mouse, you win..."

After discussing the matter of the running knife rat, the players suddenly shifted their topic to the Great Sword.

I'm Not a Sword Immortal: "Oh, precious sword, three days have already passed. How do you feel?"

Great Sword: "Sword Immortal, I'm truly out of ideas."

Once Da Baojian had spoken, he went on to tell everyone on the forum about everything he had seen and experienced over the past few days.

all in all.

Within the Black Tiger Gang, his influence and infiltration on his own are currently too small; he needs to find a few helpers.

I'm Not a Sword Immortal: "Help...do you want the sect leader to give you a new mission?"

Big Sword: "Actually, it's not impossible."

Inside the courtyard of the Qingxuan Sect, Zhou Yi saw this sentence and had a different interpretation in his mind.

His original plan was to make Liuye Town a second anchor point that players could use for resurrection.

Therefore, the Black Tiger Town matter cannot be lost. Zhou Yi was indeed a little worried if he only sent Da Baojian alone.

It would be great if someone could be sent over to assist.

It just so happens that the Sword Immortal, this little player, has been idle lately, not going out to fight monsters and level up, but just wandering around the sect.

Sending him there is just right.

The next morning.

"What sect leader? I'm really going to the Black Tiger Gang?" The sword immortal gaped, his face filled with disbelief.

"I have been thinking a lot about the Black Tiger Gang lately, and I am not really comfortable sending only my disciple, Da Baojian, over there."

"Sword Immortal, your usual conduct is impeccable, so assisting Great Sword will naturally be much more effective. I've also assigned him the task of arranging spies; once you take up your post, he'll get you a new identity."

Zhou Yi picked up the teapot, and steam rose from the lid.

He was indeed quite at ease with the Sword Immortal.

He is not as cautious as Crouching Tiger, but he is good at adapting to changing circumstances and has a strong ability to handle situations on the spot.

Sending him there would also make it easier for him to support Da Baojian.

After all, in Zhou Yi's eyes, the player "Big Sword" really has a big heart.

Seeing Zhou Yi's strong insistence, the sword immortal no longer refused. After quickly exchanging some supplies at the contribution shop, he hurriedly set off.

One hour later.

The sword immortal was traversing through the dense forest when he heard a woman's cry for help in the distance.

"Sect Master, I promise I'll never run away again! Someone, please come and save me!"

Sect Master, could this person be a disciple of my Qingxuan Sect?

But would any player really be that foolish?

The sword immortal was suspicious.

But as a player who aspires to become a top player, how could you not help a newbie in trouble?

I'll just go over and take a quick look. If I can't beat them, I'll just run away.

The sword immortal looked in the direction of the sound and indeed saw a woman holding a long sword, fighting with a blue shadow wolf.

Seeing this, he was even more confused.

The woman looked unfamiliar, and her method of attacking the Green Shadow Wolf was also incorrect.

It's worth noting that the veteran player "Wohu" had already posted a strategy guide for defeating the Azure Shadow Wolf on the game forum a long time ago.

The above content is very detailed, explaining all the weaknesses of the Azure Shadow Wolf and how to counter it.

Sword Immortal still remembers that this post made the Azure Shadow Wolf the top choice for players to level up in a short period of time.

They were almost wiped out by players who were keen on killing monsters and leveling up, so it's quite rare to see one here now.

Seeing that this Azure Shadow Wolf was relatively weak, only at the third level of Qi Refining, he didn't think much of it and immediately offered his help.

The experience points from Qi Refining Stage 3 monsters are considerable, and the corpses of Azure Shadow Wolves can be exchanged for a certain amount of contribution points within the sect.

Since we're just passing through and it won't be long, why not take advantage of it?

On the other side of the battlefield.

Jiang Qingxue found it extremely difficult to deal with the Azure Shadow Wolf, which was at the same cultivation level as her.

She had been pampered in her family for a long time and rarely fought against demonic beasts, so she lacked similar combat experience.

When she first arrived at Qingxuan Sect, she thought she would receive special support from the sect leader, after all, she was the eldest daughter of the Jiang family and had a noble status.

To her utter surprise, the other party didn't take her seriously at all.

Since the day she arrived at the sect, her cousin Jiang Yunhe told her to leave first, and the two of them haven't even seen each other.

At first, she thought that the sect leader had ill intentions and did not want him to learn the true methods of the Qingxuan Sect.

It wasn't until the last few days that she learned the truth from those strangely speaking sect disciples.

The Qingxuan Sect is essentially a huge competitive ecosystem, where all resources originate from the disciples' contribution points.

These sect contribution points are obtained by completing tasks assigned by the sect leader and other deacons.

In addition, hunting monsters can also allow you to exchange their corpses for contribution points at the contribution shop.

However, after wandering around for a few days, she found that no one was giving her any tasks, so she had no choice but to leave in a huff and go out to hunt monsters on her own.

But who would have thought that the first operation would end in such a crushing defeat?

They might even lose their lives here.

As the Azure Shadow Wolf's claws struck again, Jiang Qingxue's right arm was slashed with another hideous wound.

Since it's a fight, there's no such thing as you making a move and me making a move.

Seeing that Jiang Qingxue had not reacted, the Green Shadow Wolf immediately launched the next wave of attacks.

It bared its enormous fangs, aiming straight for the neck of the person in front of it.

Jiang Qingxue was startled and was about to back away when she fell to the ground again.

Upon seeing that gaping, blood-red mouth, a tear involuntarily slid down her cheek.

"Oh God, if only a handsome and powerful genius swordsman could appear and save me right now..."

"I, Jiang Qingxue, am willing to repay him with my life."

After praying silently in her heart, Jiang Qingxue closed her eyes and awaited her death.

But just then!

A sharp sword cry suddenly rang out, and Jiang Qingxue subconsciously opened her eyes, only to see a sharp blade flying through the air.

The Azure Shadow Wolf in front of her tried to dodge the flying sword, but it was too late.

The longsword pierced straight into its brow, killing it instantly.

"Could it be?"

Jiang Qingxue covered her mouth in disbelief, staring wide-eyed at the white-clad youth approaching from afar.

The young man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and dressed in white with a cool and aloof demeanor.

He deftly collected the wolf carcass and said softly, "How are you? No injuries, right?"

Jiang Qingxue, who was lying on the ground, did not respond immediately, but a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

Could it be... that I've finally met my true love?

Her thoughts were racing, and she couldn't help but lower her head, her cheeks burning, unable to look directly into the bright eyes of the young man before her.
