Chapter 76: Evaluation

"Who exactly borrowed my strength?" Yun Zhi was puzzled. The Immortal-Decaying Sect fled with their families, not leaving a single person behind, only leaving behind the Mountain and River Tripod that could buy a first-grade sect.

Now she couldn't find who borrowed her strength.

There was a type of spell called "God Descent Technique" among spells, which could borrow strength with the other party's permission. However, this kind of spell was on the verge of being lost, and the difficulty of learning it was extremely high. Yun Zhi hadn't seen this kind of spell for a long time.

And who could borrow strength without her consent? Yun Zhi felt that the person who borrowed the strength seemed to have no malice, so out of instinct, she didn't stop the leakage of strength.

Yun Zhi could roughly guess who it was.

"But where did he learn the God Descent Technique?"

Yun Zhi didn't remember teaching Lu Yang a similar spell.

First place, Lu Yang.

"Hmm? The first place changed?" The Vice Sect Master was puzzled. Just now they were busy fleeing for their lives and didn't pay attention to what Lu Yang did.

The Mountain and River Tripod was broken, so they couldn't watch the replay.

"But the immortal eye won't make a mistake. These three people's destructiveness is the strongest!" The Sect Master was certain. He also didn't guess what Lu Yang did. The first place just now killed hundreds of people in a short time and brought hidden dangers to thousands of people, and was not long for this world. Lu Yang could actually surpass this person and become first place at once; it was truly incredible.

But there was no need to guess. The immortal eye was an immortal treasure, more advanced than the Mountain and River Tripod, and would absolutely not make a mistake.

Indeed, Lu Yang summoned Yun Zhi, destroyed the Mountain and River Tripod and the Immortal-Decaying Sect headquarters. The destruction brought to the Immortal-Decaying Sect could rank in the top three in history.

Just talking about the damage brought to the Sect Master, it could rank first.

The Sect Master said triumphantly, forgetting the pain on his body: "Look, I said it, this Lu Yang has great wisdom. Don't look at the temporary ranking lagging behind; if you are not careful for a moment, he can make a big move for you. Look, he ranked first."

"Don't look at Meng Jingzhou and the Seeing Man Gu you are optimistic about performing generally. That's because there wasn't enough time. If there was enough time, I guarantee they could mix into second or third place."

The Vice Sect Master was convinced. The Sect Master was worthy of being the Sect Master, not only cautious in doing things but also extremely sharp in vision. No wonder he was only the Vice Sect Master, and the other was the real one.

"Then what is your evaluation of Lu Yang?"

The Sect Master thought for a moment and said slowly: "Lu Yang took a dangerous path in the first trial, revealing martial arts talent, entering the Dao through martial arts, which is rare in the world. In the second trial, he observed carefully, summarized the laws, bought potatoes, making subsequent interviewees unable to be tested, showing he has huge destructiveness. This feature is more prominent in the third trial. Calling him an innate demonic seed is not an exaggeration."

The Vice Sect Master was surprised. He had known the Sect Master for so long and had never heard of anyone who could get such a high evaluation.

"What about Meng Jingzhou?"

"Meng Jingzhou was bitten by a spider in the first trial and gained strength, which is a manifestation of luck. Placed in this great era, he is a Dao seed born in response to the situation. In the second trial, he carefully studied the exam questions, thought about problems from multiple angles, seemingly arrogant and domineering, but actually winning step by step, with a proper plan, and finally broke the examiner's psychological defense and successfully passed the trial."

"It's a pity that he didn't exert his advantages in the third trial before it ended. He is slightly inferior to Lu Yang. Let's call him the descent of the Dao Demon."

The evaluation of the descent of the Dao Demon was also extremely rare. Not many people in the younger generation could get such an evaluation from the Sect Master. It seemed this Meng Jingzhou had a bright future.

"What about Seeing Man Gu?"

"The first trial had understanding, perseverance, and strategy. The second trial thought about problems quite thoroughly, but there was no opinion in the third trial. In previous trials, he belonged to a batch that performed extremely excellently, but it's a pity that there is a pearl in front, so I can only give him an evaluation of 'Demon in the Heart'."

"Demon in the Heart." According to previous experience, as long as he didn't fall, he could become a high-level member of the Immortal-Decaying Sect.

"Should they be transferred to the headquarters for careful cultivation?" The Vice Sect Master asked.

The Sect Master shook his head and said his experience: "Don't be so anxious. Start from the grassroots level first. At the very least, have two years of grassroots experience. Believe me, grassroots experience is very helpful for future growth. That's how I came up."

"And I have another plan. This Lu Yang is unrestrained, has ideas and destructiveness. Wait for him to grow up, see if he can mix into the righteous path sect, such as the Congwendao Sect."

The Vice Sect Master laughed, feeling the Sect Master looked too highly at them. They had ways to mix into other sects, but the Congwendao Sect was too difficult. Just the thoughts of the Congwendao Sect disciples were not something many people could keep up with. Mixing in and not being recognized for being out of place after a while was impossible.

Mixing into the Congwendao Sect was easier said than done.

"I'm going to heal my wounds first," the Sect Master said, then went to the secret room to retreat and adjust his breath.

The Vice Sect Master never had the intention of usurping power from beginning to end. Today was an example. Although killing the Sect Master could allow him to climb up one step, what about later? What if the righteous path attacked again? Could he make the correct decision?

Once a wrong judgment was made, he would definitely die under the righteous path's moves. By then, it would be too late to regret usurping power.

Yanjiang Branch.

"A total of ten people passed the trial, and three people got evaluations of innate demonic seed, descent of the Dao Demon, and Demon in the Heart?!" The Branch Master heard the message sent by the Sect Master and was so happy that his eyebrows raised.

This was even better than the best situation he estimated! The promotion opportunity was right in front of him!

Those demonic rogue cultivators who didn't pass the first and second trials were scattered by the eleven deacons during their coma. After they woke up, they would forget the location of the Yanjiang Branch and just treat the previous experience as a dream.

The most stable method was to kill them, so that the location of the Yanjiang Branch would absolutely not be exposed. The Immortal-Decaying Sect didn't do this out of consideration for the overall situation.

These demonic rogue cultivators caused trouble in one area, which could attract the attention of the righteous path. Under various chaotic information, the righteous path couldn't distinguish what was done by demonic rogue cultivators and what was done by the Demonic Sect, so as to achieve the effect of confusing the public.

Lu Yang and the other three woke up slowly. They had experienced too much, and their brains were a bit chaotic.

The scene they saw before fainting was... Senior Sister descending from the sky?!

Lu Yang broke into a cold sweat. Senior Sister didn't see him turn into her appearance, did she? If she saw it, she would definitely peel off a layer of skin.

Meng Jingzhou and Seeing Man Gu also remembered what happened. Lu Yang's Mantis Fist summoned the real Senior Sister.

Lu Yang warned the two with his eyes not to leak the news, and the two nodded hurriedly.

The Branch Master suppressed the joy in his heart and said in as plain a voice as possible: "From today on, you ten are members of my Immortal-Decaying Sect."

"Logically speaking, we should hold the entrance ceremony first, but today's three rounds of trials have exhausted everyone's energy, and I am no exception. To worship the Immortal-Decaying in this state is disrespectful to the immortal. Come here tomorrow to officially hold the entrance ceremony."

Lu Yang could see that when mentioning the Immortal-Decaying, the Branch Master's tone, as well as the expressions of the eleven deacons, had changed.

This showed that their belief in the Immortal-Decaying wasn't a pretense, but a real belief in the existence of the Immortal-Decaying.

"No wonder it's called a 'Sect'." Lu Yang thought.

Only hearing the Branch Master continue: "However, there are newcomers joining today, so it's not appropriate not to celebrate. Let's go out and have a meal."

"I heard a new barbecue shop opened in the prefecture, called 'Come Again', the taste is good, and it is well received. Let's gather there in a while, my treat."

Lu Yang: "..."

Meng Jingzhou: "..."

Seeing Man Gu: "..."

Not letting us rest, right?

Old-school author, classic genius flow, partial traditional upgrade, decisive killing, not stupid, not holy mother.
