"Adou, please be careful on the road this time. Remember, you are the hope of our whole village."

"I understand, don't worry, I will definitely come back. I will definitely come back when the time comes."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of our parents, don't worry."

"Well, I can definitely get in."

In a small mountain village, a tall figure kept waving behind him, carrying all the packages on his body, and left here without looking back amid the last sounds of farewell and encouragement.

As the only gifted child in this village, Adou was fortunate enough to receive guidance from an unknown senior when he was young, and he started his cultivation path from then on.

Although there are techniques in their village that he has inherited, they are not as strong as the techniques that his seniors gave him that only he can practice.

He has excellent talents in the village, coupled with some resources left by his predecessors and some resources accumulated by the village for him, his cultivation speed is very fast. Everyone else has to work to earn a meager income. Only he

Of course he has a goal, which is to join those distantly desired groups so that he can further improve.

Because as his strength increased, his hometown was no longer able to provide for him to continue practicing, and the resources left to him by his predecessors had all been used up. Next, he had to either go out to work to support himself, and at the same time, he had to accumulate resources for his own cultivation.

Either you have to join the sects established by the big races and serve them. Only they have enough resources to train their subordinates. Of course, since entering them, it is equivalent to selling your life to the other party, and the other party will naturally not treat them badly and cultivate their resources.

Needless to say, my family also has a generous settlement allowance.

There is no way, although everyone here can practice, and generally there is no problem in practicing the second and third levels, but it can only be like this, because most of the world cannot continue to allow them to practice like this, and they can only rely on black cores.

Only then can we continue to practice, or go to those small worlds that can withstand higher levels.

But those worlds are all controlled by the Hundred Alliance, and they are also controlled by the major races in them. If you want to go there, you naturally need to join the other party.

Those who really have status are called survivors, and ordinary people like them are called survivors. The difference is very clear.

With longing for the future, Adou headed towards the nearest city and received news from the village chief that the ten-year recruitment plan there had begun again.

In just three days, Adou traveled day and night without any rest, and arrived at the only city nearby.

In fact, their entire village, and the surrounding villages, serve the city. It is difficult to survive far away from the city. Just those unconscious creatures wandering outside are enough to give them a headache.

The huge city is full of people, and the walls that are dozens of feet high still have mottled traces of time.

Adou didn't stop for much and walked directly towards the center. There were many young people like him who came here with dreams in mind, hoping to be chosen by the other party.

But most of them come with hope and leave with disappointment, because the other party's selection is very strict. It depends not only on your talent, but also on your specialties. In short, the more outstanding you are, the easier it is to be selected, and those resources are not blown by the wind.

.

A person only has three chances in his life, and they cannot exceed a certain age. All cities will choose at the same time. When things go badly, no one will be selected for hundreds of years.

Adou was very confident because the senior who was optimistic about him now thought about the monster in the sky and was optimistic about him.

And his own talent is also good. He needs to be selected. Even if he is not selected, he must be selected into the backup plan, because the village has put too much effort into him. If he fails, it will be really shameless.

The backup plan is to go up and work as a servant, which is equivalent to being an outer disciple, but after a period of time, if there is no accident, you can only be sent back.

Even so, there are times when some outer sects counterattack, motivating others to want to go in. As long as they go in, they will have an exciting income.

In the center, there was a table that had been set up a long time ago, and a man with shawl hair was already sitting there. There was already a long queue in front of him, and they wound around a few times, and they all continued to line up honestly.

Because there were only three days in total, no waiting was allowed, but there was experience here, and everything was in order. Adou also quickly came to the back of the queue, and soon people continued to line up behind him.

When he came here, he was only halfway through the first day, and he was not in a hurry. Many people around him, like him, were wearing clean and shabby clothes, and those people with bright clothes had no intention of looking at them with different eyes.

.

When the sky darkened and the surrounding area was illuminated by lighting spells, it was finally his turn.

"Name?"

"Adou."

"Cultivation and age."

"Fifth level, twenty-four."

"go in."

The man looked at the other person briefly, tapped the other person's arm to recognize that he was taking the assessment for the first time, and then waved the other person in.

There is a huge courtyard behind him, and there is a man in it, waiting for his arrival, and at the end behind him, there is a long bench, on which a local demon clan is already sitting.

There was a door leaving here in front, which was a passage for losers. When Adou entered, he saw that the person in front of him had already left in disappointment.

"Hurry up and stand up, block my attack, and then I will judge." The person who was doing the assessment was so irritable. When he saw Adou stopped in place, he immediately shouted loudly.

Adou quickly turned his gaze and stood in a designated circle with some trembling, looking at the examiner with his bare hands.

He spent most of his time practicing and came out only a handful of times. He was a little confused for a while and didn't know what to do.

The examiner didn't ask the other person. After all, the other person's adaptability was considered a kind of ability. When he saw the other person standing there, he blew him over with a light breath.

Yes, it's just one breath. Although his cultivation level is also very low. He is only in the early stage of ghost soul and has only been promoted for a few decades. But in the assessment of these guys who don't even have black soul, he is really afraid of accidentally killing each other.

.

For him, it was just a breath of air, but for Adou, it was as if a hurricane was blowing from the ground in front of him, whistling towards him, and out of reach, his whole body suddenly wanted to float.

Only then did he react, and he grabbed it face-down in his hand. A long stick made of soil broke through the stone below, and he held it firmly in his hand. It seemed that the whole person was constantly fluttering in the air, like a rising sky.

banner.

"Not bad, the reaction is not bad." The examiner here thought for a moment, and then before the strong wind in the air fell, he stamped his feet towards the ground.

Just under Adou's body, it began to vibrate rapidly. At this time, Adou could no longer support it. Just when his whole body was about to fly away, suddenly a force emerged from the body's surface, and his whole body was firmly grasped again.

Compared with before, that stone pillar is now like an anchor fixed in the air, motionless.

At this moment, the examiner's eyes showed a hint of surprise, then he took a closer look, nodded slightly, and then moved his feet slightly, and Adou's body was instantly thrown away, and he landed on the ground in a state of embarrassment.

Adou, who was lying on the ground, did not get up immediately. There were tears in his eyes, and he tried hard not to let them flow out. It was just a little bit. He wanted to persevere for a while, but he still couldn't persevere in the end.

Thinking of this, his heart felt like a knife, and when he thought that he was going to fail and go back, he felt even more uncomfortable. He had vowed to go back to face his relatives when he came out. The tears in his eyes finally burst out, and the monster stopped flowing down in the air.

After a while, Adou stood up and walked towards the road to leave in order not to let the other party see his appearance.

"Hey, why are you going? Come back!" The examiner saw the other person leaving and quickly stopped him.

"Didn't I fail?" When Adou heard the different voice behind him, he turned his head in surprise, and the mess on his face was clearly visible to the other party.

"You failed, but I think you are still good. As a candidate, if you can work hard inside, it is not impossible to get in." The examiner saw the other person's appearance and knew what the other person was thinking, so he spoke directly.

This guy is okay, but his foundation in cultivation is somewhat unstable and needs to be polished, so he was included as a candidate.

"Really? I'm really selected," Adou was stunned and asked again with some disbelief.

"Of course, if you go to the back room, there will be people waiting for you. Leave quickly. I have to continue other assessments." The examiner pointed to the room not far to the side and said.

"Oh, oh, thank you, thank you, sir." Adou immediately turned from sadness to joy, but his eyes were still filled with tears. It was a surprise.

After a while, Adou happily walked out of the side door with a large package of things. He had never felt that the sky was so beautiful, even the dark sky.

After receiving a generous settlement allowance, Adou immediately rushed home. He had to come back within a week, otherwise he would not be waiting for him. The person he saw before also passed the test, but the other person

Let those who came with him take him back, and he stayed there.

When he left the city, little did he know that a figure was also following him.

Four days later, Adou, who had finished resting at home, left here again. He knew that after this separation, he might never see the people he was familiar with again when he came back, and even his parents and children.

brother.

If he can have a future, their hometown will at least be much better, and with this settlement allowance, there will be no need to save as much as before in a few hundred years.

"Bye now."

Adou took one last look and then quickly left here.

"boom"

Not long after he left his hometown, there was a sudden vibration in the distance, which immediately attracted his attention. After a little hesitation, Adou went over to see what happened.

He didn't go far when he saw a small pit on the ground. When he got a little closer, he saw a strange creature lying inside.

It seems to be a kind of fish. It is about the size of the palm of your hand. The whole body is light green, but the outside is dark blue, reflecting rays of light. At the top of the head, there is a long line like a fishing line, with the end

Connected to a super mini lantern, the green light flashes faintly, indicating that the owner's condition does not seem to be good.

Adou had never seen this strange creature before. It looked very strange. The only thing he could feel was the weakness coming from the other person's body, as if he was injured. He looked around and saw that there was no one in the empty wilderness. Then he stepped forward.

Bring this little fish up.

"Woo"

Xiaoyu opened his eyes a little weakly, and let out a series of mournful screams in his mouth, which made people feel the pain of the other party. A trace of struggle appeared on Adou's face, and then he took out a golden elixir from his arms.

.

This is also what the other party gave him to save his life. Just one piece of it, the effect can heal people below the peak of the black soul.

At this time, he left all the necessary things with him in the village. However, after hearing the little fish in his hand groan, he did not hesitate to put the only pill into the little fish's mouth.

When the little fish with this elixir seemed to have a much calmer breath, Adou put the other person in his arms, let the other person have a good rest, and hurried on again.

By the time he returned to the assessment location in the city, all the assessments had ended. What surprised him was that within three days, he and the man he first met had passed, and the other had passed directly, confirming his

He would have to go in and inspect his status. If he failed, he would be beaten back.
To be continued...
