Chapter 4 Assessment

"Have you heard that the Guard Team will recruit new members from our mining team tomorrow?"

In the dining hall, the disciples who returned from mining were discussing this matter.

"Guard Team? Is it true?"

"The notice has been posted in front of the camp."

Han Yi had heard of the Guard Team before.

The Guard Team disciples are the same as the mining disciples, both of them are outer disciples of the Chiyan Sect, but the Guard Team disciples do not have the exhausting mining tasks, and there is no rule that meals will be deducted if the tasks are not completed. And most importantly, the Guard Team disciples will also receive tonics to strengthen the blood and qi every month!

It can be said that there is a world of difference between the treatment of mining disciples and guard team disciples. All the disciples yearn to get rid of the identity of mining disciples and go to the guard team one day!

I must seize this opportunity, Han Yi thought to himself. The mining tasks of mining disciples day after day are like boiling frogs in warm water, which will make people lose their fighting spirit and gradually devour them.

After dinner, Han Yi hurried to the notice board of the camp.

Around the notice board, disciples were talking to each other in groups of three or two, and no one knew what they were discussing.

"The guard team is recruiting new members. You don't need to go mining tomorrow morning. Gather at the training ground?"

This didn't seem to explain the content and standards of the assessment. Can I pass it with my strength in the middle stage of skin refining? Han Yi frowned and thought.

At this time, Han Yi glanced and saw a familiar figure.

The value of '2~3' was floating beside him.

"Wang Shan, your leg injury hasn't healed yet?"

"Yes, Brother Yi," Wang Shan smiled helplessly, "It can be considered as barely recovered, but it's still not strong enough."

"Besides, I haven't started my Collapse Mountain Fist yet. I'm afraid there is no hope for tomorrow's assessment. I won't say anything more. I'll go to the training ground to practice for a while."

Han Yi looked at Wang Shan's staggering walk when he left, and he couldn't help but feel a little silent in his heart. One step behind, everything behind, maybe this is the sadness of martial artists.

The next day, Han Yi came to the training ground early.

In the training ground, disciples gathered in groups of three or four and whispered. After greeting a few familiar disciples, Han Yi found an empty corner and sat down with his eyes closed to rest.

When the sun was high in the sky, everyone had already been impatient and the sound in the training ground was a little noisy.

"Silence!" A stern shout came.

Everyone looked and saw four or five people walking towards the training ground.

There were two people in the lead, one of whom was Manager Liu. Next to him was a tall, dark-colored, and muscular man with the words "65~85" floating above his head.

"So strong!" Han Yi sighed in his heart, "Just from the numerical value, he can beat more than a dozen of me..."

"Listen carefully, disciples. This is Instructor Lin of the Guard Team. Today's assessment will follow Instructor Lin's arrangements. Everyone knows the treatment of the Guard Team. Today you must strive to be the first and don't lose face for our mining camp!" Manager Liu shouted loudly.

Instructor Lin winked, and the two people behind him arranged the stone locks neatly in the center of the field.

"The content of the test is very simple. Do you see this set of stone locks?"

"As long as you lift each of these stone locks for 3 breaths, you will pass!" Instructor Lin said lightly without any change in expression.

As soon as Instructor Lin finished speaking, the crowd exploded.

"The lightest stone lock weighs more than 200 pounds, and you have to lift it for 3 breaths. How can you pass!"

"Yeah, this test is a bit difficult..."

"Quiet!" Instructor Lin shouted, and the scar on his cheek was pulled and looked particularly hideous. "Those who don't want to take the test can get out. Now, who will come first!"

The disciples looked at each other, and no one was willing to be the first.

"Humph, you come!" Instructor Lin pointed casually, and it just landed on Wang Shan.

"Ah? I, I'm afraid..." Wang Shan waved his hands tremblingly, his voice trembling a little.

"Why don't you get out of the line? What are you afraid of? This is your great opportunity!" Manager Liu shouted at the side.

Under the gaze of the crowd and the urging of the manager, Wang Shan came to the stone lock with a sad face helplessly.

Wang Shan's face turned red, but the lightest stone lock could not even hold on for three breaths, and he retreated with a red face.

"Wang Shan, failed!" The disciple who had taken notes had already recorded it, "Next one."

"Failed! Next one."

"Failed..."

Instructor Lin looked stern and serious, and on the other side, Manager Liu looked at his nose and mouth, and dared not make a sound.

Han Yi saw that the disciples had completed half of the test, and thought to himself that it was almost time for the observation to go on stage, and with my strength, there should be no problem.

"Next one, Han Yi."

Han Yi came to the stone lock, relaxed his shoulders, and with a slight force of his arms, the stone lock of more than 200 kilograms was lifted up as if it were nothing.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths!

200-jin stone lock, 300-jin stone lock, 400-jin stone lock!

Han Yi lifted the first three stone locks easily.

"Who is this Han Yi? When did such a fierce man appear in the mining camp?"

"Han Yi doesn't seem to be outstanding in his daily work and practice, but judging from his posture, he is probably in the middle stage of skin refining!"

The disciples around him talked and talked.

"This kid is interesting." A gleam of light flashed in Lin's eyes.

Han Yi came to the last stone lock, which was also the heaviest one, weighing 500 jin!

Han Yi took a deep breath, silently circulated Qi and blood, held his chest and straightened his back, clenched the stone lock with his fists, and gathered Qi and blood between his arms.

"Hah!"

Han Yi shouted loudly, and suddenly thrust his waist forward, and the stone lock was lifted up with his strength!

Suddenly, the huge martial arts field was so quiet that even a needle falling on the ground could be heard clearly.

It seemed like a long time had passed, and it seemed like a few breaths had passed.

"Han Yi, passed!"

Instantly, the training ground was like water splashing hot oil, and it exploded.

"Quiet!"

Lin, the instructor, came to Han Yi and grabbed Han Yi's arm.

Han Yi was startled and subconsciously wanted to circulate Qi and blood to resist. After realizing that Lin, the instructor, did not use any force, he dispersed the Qi and blood.

"The arm is like copper, and as hard as cowhide." Lin, the instructor, flashed a barely perceptible smile at the corner of his mouth, "Not bad, you can break through to the middle stage of skin refining in such a difficult environment in the mining camp. This Qi and blood powder is a reward for you."

Qi and blood powder!

The two disciples behind Instructor Lin showed envious expressions. Qixue powder can increase qi and blood, strengthen the physique, and what is even more valuable is that there are no side effects when taking Qixue powder.

And a portion of Qixue powder is the monthly quota of the guard team disciples!

Han Yi hurriedly thanked Instructor Lin. Although he didn't know what the Qixue powder did, from the perspective of others, it was definitely a good thing.

The assessment continued

Since Han Yi passed, the mining disciples have become more active. If someone can pass, maybe I can too!
