Chapter 26: The Building Follows the Wind

  ?

  The heavenly formation emerged from the grand hall.

  Lü Yanzhao was chatting with the eight squad leaders in a leisurely manner, each of them had a cup of spiritual tea in front of them, and the city guards standing beside them would occasionally come over to refill their cups.

  At this time, it was less than half a watch before the second batch of examination masters entered the customs, so Lyu Yan Zhao and others were also relatively relaxed, chatting and laughing to pass the time.

  In front of Zeng Xin was also a cup of spiritual tea, but the teacup was full to the brim. Zeng Xin sat upright with a stern expression, his spiritual awareness covering all ten transmission arrays without any slackness.

  At this moment, a white light appeared in one corner of one of the transmission arrays, and immediately a figure appeared in the array.

  Lü Yanzhao was just about to take a sip of the spiritual tea when the cup suddenly froze at his lips, and he stared in shock at the figure that had suddenly appeared in the transmission array.

  The person emerging from the array was indeed Li Hui, whose face still had a few points of vigilance at this time. The Purple Thunder Sword was held in his hand, and his spiritual sense spread out to observe the surroundings. However, he suddenly discovered that his spiritual sense could now probe several miles away. After that, he found that the people in the hall were looking at him with some astonishment.

  With a slight relaxation in his heart, he flashed the purple electric sword and put it away, his face returned to normal as he walked down from the transmission array.

  The monk guarding the transmission array where Li Hui was located had his mouth slightly open, staring at Li Hui in surprise, and for a moment forgot to record the time.

  "What are you staring at, hurry up and record the time." Just then Zeng Xin's cold voice came over, and the monk finally woke up like a dream, picked up a jade slip and quickly recorded it.

  He quickly handed over a jade tablet: "Go to Captain Zeng for registration."

  Li Hui took over the jade tablet and walked to Zeng Xin's seat, handing it over.

  "Name!" Zeng Xin looked at Li Hui with a glance, but his face didn't change color and he said coldly.

  "Li Hui," Li Hui replied calmly.

  Zeng Xin immediately scanned the jade slip handed over by Li Hui, then threw it aside and pulled out another one from a different pile that recorded information about Li Hui. He focused his mind on it and engraved Li Hui's achievements into it.

  "Alright, wait over there then." Zeng Xin said calmly.

  Li Hui's gaze swept across, and he saw the place where the first batch of people who had successfully passed the test were standing. However, he found that all the cultivators from the first batch who had successfully passed the test were looking at him with a strange gaze, as if they were looking at a freak. His heart stirred slightly, and his gaze swept back and forth before discovering that there were exactly 93 people, which meant that he was the first person to pass the second batch of tests.

  As his gaze swept across the room, he found that it wasn't just these cultivators who were staring at him in shock - even Lü Yan and the eight small team leaders on stage were looking at him with a few hints of astonishment.

  Li Hui's face didn't show any unusual expression, and under the gaze of everyone, he walked calmly to the side of the team and stood still.

  "Zeng Xin, how long did Li Hui take to pass the first level?" Lü Yanzhao asked with great interest after a brief moment of distraction.

  "Reporting to General Tong, Li Hui just passed through the checkpoint at 2 hours and 8 minutes." Zeng Xin replied meticulously.

  Lü Yanzhao's face moved slightly, but he smiled and said to the next team leader: "Yang Ye, this newcomer took only five minutes more than you to pass the first level!" As he spoke, he glanced at Li Hui with a look full of praise.

  The squad leader named Yang Ye at the bottom smiled slightly: "A new generation of people emerges, and I was originally the weakest among the ten squad leaders. It seems that our seventh camp has another outstanding talent."

  "Haha!" Lü Yanzhao burst out laughing: "Well said! It seems that our Seventh Regiment will have a big harvest this year."

  Li Hui's heart moved upon hearing this, according to Yang Ye's words, he was the weakest among the ten team leaders, yet still five minutes faster than himself. It seemed that there were many foundation-building cultivators stronger than him.

  He didn't expect that the scores of the ten team leaders were not much different, and they had already trained in this Tianji formation countless times before achieving such results. Li Hui's performance on his first attempt was already shocking.

  After a brief commotion brought by Li Hui, the scene calmed down again, with only Lü Yan and eight team captains chatting idly, guessing how much time it would take for the next cultivator to exit.

  Everyone in the field, including Li Hui, was paying attention to the situation of the teleportation array in front of them, waiting for the next cultivator to come out.

  Time passed bit by bit, and nearly a minute after Li Hui came out, still no one else emerged.

  Another moment passed, and suddenly another transmission array lit up with white light. A young cultivator wearing a cyan spiritual armor and holding a long knife appeared in the array, his expression still extremely vigilant, the long knife slanted in front of him, making a defensive gesture.

  But soon the monk came to himself, realizing he had already left the formation. With a flash of light, he sheathed his long sword and in an instant became elegant and refined, walking down from the formation.

  The cultivator guarding the transmission array also looked slightly surprised, but this time he didn't wait for Zeng Xin's reminder. He quickly engraved a jade slip and handed it to the cultivator, instructing him to record it in Zeng Xin's place.

  "Name."

  "The building is blown by the wind."

  At this time, Lü Yanzhao, who was sitting on the stage, changed his expression and said: "Lou Suifeng, are you a descendant of the Lou family in Tianhu City?"

  The building followed the wind, and his expression moved slightly, but he bowed slightly and replied with elegance: "I am indeed from the Lou family of Tianhu City."

  Lü Yanzhao nodded: "The young generation of Tianhu City's Lou family is indeed somewhat talented, you go and wait on the side for now."

  After bowing to Zeng Xin and Lü Yanzhao, he swept his gaze around the room, only to land on Li Hui. It was clear that he had some impression of Li Hui, who had passed through the same trial as himself. He walked straight over, smiling and nodding at Li Hui.

  Li Hui had a pretty good impression of this building. Although he also came from a wealthy family, he didn't have the same arrogant attitude as Han Hao and Xiao Shaojun, whom he had met before. Instead, he was more elegant and refined, and nodded slightly in greeting.

  Su Ran immediately walked over to Li Hui's side and stood still.

  After nearly a quarter of an hour, the transmission array finally flashed white light from time to time, and one by one, the monks began to pass through.

  Half an hour later, all the second batch of monks who rushed to the pass finally came out, but only 82 people succeeded in passing the test, and 18 people ultimately failed.

  Whether it's a successful pass or a failed exit, white light will appear on the corresponding transmission array in different directions as an indication, so whether it's the entrance or the exit, the movements of these cultivators can be clearly grasped.

  The third batch of masters started their journey.

  ……

  Two and a half hours later, the first assessment of the first day came to an end. Among the 313 cultivators who participated in the assessment, only 270 successfully passed through the barrier, while 43 failed.

  It is worth mentioning that all 50 reserve team members of the City Guard successfully passed the test and their scores are also ranked in a relatively advanced position.

  Li Hui had been secretly calculating his own scores in his heart, but unexpectedly found that at the end of the first day, his score was ranked first, and closely followed by Lou Sui Feng.

  Li Hui turned his head and saw that Lou was also looking at him. The two of them exchanged a smile, but didn't say much.

  Zeng Xin gathered up the jade slips on the table that recorded the results of the Master's assessment, stood up and walked down to the stage, bowed his hands to Lü Yan Zhao and said: "Report to the leader, on the first day of the assessment, a total of 313 people participated, 270 people passed successfully, 43 people failed to pass the level and lost their qualification for the assessment."

  Lü Yanzhao nodded slightly and smiled: "Zeng Xin, thank you for your hard work. This year's young people have performed quite well. Those who passed the assessment can go back and prepare, and tomorrow we will start the second round of assessment. Those who fail the assessment can leave tomorrow."

  Zeng Xing bowed his head and accepted the order, then followed Lv Yan Zhao, who led eight team leaders to the large transmission array in the hall and transmitted first.

  Li Hui and others also followed Zeng Xin's arrangement, divided into several batches, and walked up to the transmission array. They were transmitted to the main hall of the array, but did not find the figures of Lü Yan Zhao and others. Apparently, this transmission array can also lead directly to other places.

  At this time, the ones left in the grand hall were Yu Cheng and those cultivators who failed to pass the trial.

  The successful monks had a few points of joy on their faces, full of confidence in the assessment of the second day, while those who failed could not hide the loss on their faces, each with a dejected expression.

  Then these monks all walked out of the Tianji formation and into the Dajian Hall, heading towards the temporary residence building.

  Most of these people can continue to participate in the assessment tomorrow, and many will leave dejectedly on the second day.

  "Brother Li, wait!"

  Li Hui was walking alone when he suddenly heard someone calling him. He turned around to see Lou Sui Feng smiling at him, quickening his pace to catch up with him.

  "Brother Lou!" Li Hui smiled calmly and greeted him in return.

  Lou walked up with the wind and walked side by side with Li Hui, but said as he walked: "Brother Li's performance is truly astonishing, it's not a waste of time to see Brother Li."

  Li Hui's heart moved slightly, but a faint smile appeared on his face: "Brother Lou's cultivation is indeed admirable."

  Lou smiled and said, "I'm afraid I've made a fool of myself in front of you, Brother Li. To be honest with you, my family has some achievements in the art of beast taming, and I was able to pass the test smoothly thanks to the help of a spiritual beast."

  Li Hui was somewhat astonished in his heart, however. This Lou had so magnanimously spoken of his own affairs as the wind blew by. Looking at his face, it didn't seem like he had any ulterior motives either. His face showed no unusual color as he said, "All methods are connected to the Great Way. Brother Lou's victory through the Beast Taming Method is also admirable."

  Lou Feng heard Li Hui's words and his face turned serious: "Brother Li has such insight, which coincides with the motto of my family."

  Two people walked and chatted casually, finally entering the building, then parted ways and entered their respective rooms.
