Volume 5: Seven Dao Sects Chapter 13 Shock
After seeing the age and cultivation level behind that name, the expressions of the monks present froze at this moment, and they were shocked beyond words.
Eighteen years old in the middle stage of the Golden Core?
This was obviously something that was simply unimaginable in their minds.
You should know that there were nearly 40,000 cultivators from Qingzhou who took part in the preliminary examination, but the number of those who reached the Golden Core level was less than a hundred at most.
Not to mention that among these hundred people, except for Lu Qingshan, all of them are cultivators over thirty years old.
They could imagine how huge a shock this cultivator named Lu Qingshan would cause in Qingzhou.
…
"Great Elder, this Lu Qingshan can't be the son of Qing Ling..."
In a corner, a middle-aged monk and an old man beside him guessed cautiously.
It was the Lu family's great elder Lu Zhou and the Lu family's patriarch Lu Yuan who sent their own children to take part in the Qingzhou preliminary examination.
"Their ages do match up, but wasn't he just building his foundation when he left Zhenjiang that year..." Lu Zhou also showed a hint of doubt on his face. After thinking for a long time, he finally shook his head and said, "I don't know... "
Emotionally, he naturally hoped that this Lu Qingshan was that brat.
But rationally, he understood that this possibility was too low. Lu Qingshan had only been away from Zhenjiang for two years, and he had advanced from foundation building to the middle stage of golden elixir?
How is it possible...
It should be... impossible, right?
Although he kept telling himself to calm down, Lu Zhou's breathing became rapid unconsciously, and his heart was burning.
What if it really is this guy?
Feeling the countless rapid breaths around him, the usually calm and steady elder of the Lu family could not help but slowly clench his hands in his sleeves, with a sense of anticipation rising in his heart.
He knew very well that if this Lu Qingshan was really that Lu Qingshan, it would have a huge impact on the Lu family.
On the other side of the square, there was also a group of people gathered.
These people were dressed in similar styles and were obviously from the same family.
In front of them stood a middle-aged man in black.
The man had his hands behind his back, his face looked calm, but there was a deep gloom in his eyes.
"Who is this Lu Qingshan? And why hasn't Kui'er caught up for so long?" He is the patriarch of the Fufeng Lin family.
Among the cultivators participating in the preliminary examination in Qingzhou this time, the only cultivator who had achieved perfect Jindan, Lin Kui, was from their Lin family and was his son.
Lin Kui's perfect cultivation of the Golden Core has already attracted the attention of many people.
Even in the eyes of most people, the number one person in Qingzhou among the seven regions in this discussion is most likely to be this Lin Kui.
But he didn't expect that the mission would fail.
The head of the Lin family stared at the name on the giant stele, thinking about something in his heart.
He didn't know the specific situation of the preliminary test, but since a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core had already made it to the second level, there was no reason why Kui'er, who had reached the perfect stage of the Golden Core, would lag so far behind!
Finally, half an hour later, amid the sudden exclamations in the square, another name burst into a golden light and rushed to the second level area with unstoppable force.
When the light faded, what was revealed was:
Lin Kui (49 years old, golden elixir is complete).
Finally caught up.
The head of the Lin family pursed his lips and thought so, and his confidence became firmer.
Lu Qingshan's talent is indeed amazing, but Kui'er is definitely not bad either.
And no matter what, Kui'er is thirty years older than him and his cultivation is two levels higher, which is an indelible advantage.
Since we have Yu, why do we have Liang? This time, the title of the number one person of the younger generation in Qingzhou must belong to Kui'er!
If we have to blame someone, we can only blame the fact that the Seven Realms Discussion Forum came at such a coincidence of a time.
If you come one year later, Kui'er will be over fifty years old and unable to participate in the Seven Realms Forum, and no one will be able to compete with you.
Maybe this is Kuier's destiny.
The head of the Lin family had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but then, a louder uproar immediately interrupted his thoughts.
He raised his eyelids slightly and saw the golden light shining again on the giant stele.
Just like before, the golden light rose with unstoppable force, and finally squeezed into the third floor amidst the horrified gazes of the people around.
Lu Qingshan (18 years old, middle stage of Jindan).
The entire Giant Monument was divided into three areas at this time.
The third level, one person, Lu Qingshan.
The second level, one person, Lin Kui.
and the countless names that are still on the first level.
The Lin family patriarch's expression suddenly froze.
…
In the giant spirit world of Qingzhou.
Lu Qingshan flew his sword at a very fast speed, so in just a blink of an eye, he arrived at the junction of the second and third islands.
There were still layers of overlapping, rolling and howling spiritual energy storms, but the spiritual energy groups in them were even more ferocious, and seemed to be emitting five-colored rays of light.
This sea of clouds was also deeper and more violent than any he had experienced before.
Lu Qingshan did not hesitate, and rushed into the surging storm layer with dozens of sword energy threads.
The wind in this spiritual storm layer is indeed much stronger in power, but that's all.
If I remember correctly, the first five storm layers in the Giant Spirit Realm are all tests that can be passed by foundation-building cultivators, and they are not difficult.
The main reason is that the storm layer is quite wide, and moving forward in it requires a lot of spiritual power to resist the storm, while the safe zone is constantly shrinking, and there is not much time for the monks to recover their spiritual power.
Such a situation of expenditure exceeding income will cause a large number of cultivators to fall out of the spiritual energy storm layer because their cultivation is not deep enough.
A moment later, Lu Qingshan's figure broke through the clouds and jumped out!
This point in time is almost the same as the time when Lin Kui entered the second level, so the scene that outsiders saw appeared.
…
In the outside world, half a day had passed, and the names on the giant monument had undergone tremendous changes.
It can be seen that on the Giant Spirit Monument, the first layer has long disappeared out of thin air, and the names of the worst cultivators are already listed in the second layer area.
This is because the safe zone in the Giant Spirit Realm has now shrunk to the suspended island on the second level.
The monks who take part in the preliminary examination must either reach the second level within the limited time or be eliminated. There is no third possibility.
And at this time, half of the names that were originally densely packed on the giant stele had disappeared out of thin air.
In a corner of the square, many young monks appeared.
They were the first batch of monks to be eliminated.
Some people left quietly after being eliminated.
But more people chose to stay and watch the preliminary exam.
Although they were eliminated, they also wanted to see who the most outstanding young generation of cultivators in Qingzhou would be.
Then, their hearts began to beat violently.
Because the assessment situation in the world shown on the giant stele really made them dumbfounded.
