Chapter 7: Outer sect assessment, Fang family ancestor Fang Wei?
The Yuhua Plain is a vast plain opened up between the Yuhua Mountains by a powerful being who used the technique of moving mountains and filling the sea when the Yuhua Sect was first established.

Above the plain stands a magnificent city, far larger than the imperial capital of a secular dynasty.

Within the city, there are many academies and gymnasiums.

There are hundreds of thousands of outer disciples and thousands of inner disciples in Yuhua Sect, and those academies and dojos are where they live and practice.

There is a mansion in the east of the city, named "Taxianyuan", which is the place for this entrance examination.

Many people taking part in the assessment gathered in the square in front of the hospital. They were divided into countless small groups, gathering in twos and threes and talking to each other.

Among these people, there were governors, children of aristocratic families, as well as princes and princesses of the royal family of secular dynasties. Most of them were people of distinguished status.

However, in this Taxian Academy, they were treated equally and were all preparatory disciples taking the outer sect examination.

Unlike the others who were in groups, Hua Tiandu was alone, standing in the northwest corner of the square, quietly waiting for the assessment to begin.

He has a handsome face but white hair. Standing in the crowd, he stands out like a crane among chickens.

Not far from him, there were several small groups discussing topics related to the assessment.

Among them, a young boy in blue asked his companions unconfidently: "Do you think we can pass the test?"

Another young man in black who looked quite calm replied, "I don't know either. However, I heard that in the last outer sect assessment of Yuhua Sect, 800 people participated, but only 19 passed."

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding area became silent for a moment, and then quickly exploded.

"The possibility of passing the assessment is too low!"

"I heard that to pass the outer sect assessment, one needs to defeat a demon puppet at the divine power level. Are demon puppets so scary?"

No one present could answer this question.

This is because most of the people who took the test were pampered children of the nobility, and had never seen the ferocity of the underground demons.

"Don't worry. After all, this assessment puppet is only at the Divine Power Realm. Who among us is not above the Divine Power Realm?"

"Brother Li is right. We can't be afraid before the battle. We have to give it a try to know the result."

While everyone was talking, the two big doors on the east side of Taxianyuan slowly opened, and two young Taoists wearing water and fire Taoist robes walked out.

"This month's outer sect assessment is about to begin!"

"You all come in."

Following the order from the Yuhua Sect disciples, many people participating in the assessment entered the courtyard one after another.

At the gate, two Taoists were holding a mirror and shining it on every person who came in to check everyone's identity.

Before each assessment, every aristocratic family in the area controlled by Yuhua Sect would submit the information of their young descendants who met the requirements to Yuhua Sect.

Afterwards, identities will be verified during the formal assessment, which can greatly reduce the possibility of spies infiltrating.

When passing by Huatiandu, a strange look flashed in the young Taoist's eyes.

"Hua Tiandu, born in the Longyuan Hua family."

"The appearance matches."

"Okay, you can go in."

The young Taoist's tone became softer, which was very different from his previous harsh tone, because he saw that the Taoist robe worn by Hua Tiandu was a spiritual weapon.

Spiritual weapons are priceless. Not only the outer disciples of Yuhua Sect, but even most of the inner disciples do not have one.

The difficulty for a secular person to possess a spiritual weapon is no less than that of becoming an emperor from a beggar!
"It seems that my Yuhua Sect has a new person with great luck." The young Taoist sighed secretly.

Soon, all the personnel entered the courtyard and gathered in a vast hall that could accommodate 10,000 people.

"The monthly outer sect assessment has officially begun."

"Open the door and release the divine puppet."

Following the loud announcement of an examiner, the door deep inside the hall suddenly opened.
An underground demon nearly three meters tall jumped out and came to the training ground in the center of the hall.

The demon's body is pitch black, covered with dense scales, revealing an indestructible aura. There are two sharp horns on his head, flashing sharp cold light, which is as sharp as a magic sword.

In addition, the bodies of demons are more developed than those of humans. They have muscles like steel plates all over their bodies, which are full of explosive power.

"Ho~ho~"

The demon stood in the center of the martial arts arena, pounding the ground with his fists, opening his ferocious mouth and roaring repeatedly, emitting a huge deterrent force, making the scene silent.

Fortunately, there were obvious white lines carved on the ground around the martial arts field. Those were magic circles with the power of confinement, which prevented the angry demon from escaping and endangering the examinees in the hall.

"The content of this assessment is the same as usual. You are required to defeat this powerful puppet."

In front of the martial arts arena, the examiner began to explain the content of the test.

"The prototype of the divine puppet is an underground demon. This demon is bloody and brutal, and possesses infinite divine power. Even though his mind has been wiped out, he is still a murderous weapon."

"Before entering the martial arts arena, I need to inform you that in previous assessments, many people were killed by puppets."

"Therefore, at this last minute, you must consider carefully whether or not you want to participate in this assessment."

"If you are a coward, you can give up the test now and walk out of the hall without any responsibility."

After waiting for a while, the examiner saw that no one left and nodded with satisfaction.

Regardless of whether it passes or not, at least these people have the courage to do so.

"Okay, the next person whose name is called, please enter the martial arts arena and fight with the puppet."

"Those who defeat this puppet will be deemed to have passed the assessment."

The examiner opened the roster in his hand and began to call the roll.

"Dayuan Dynasty, Fang Wei."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man with a mighty figure and a strong aura stepped out and walked into the martial arts arena.

"Roar!"

When the demon puppet saw the person coming, it roared, jumped up immediately, opened its bloody mouth, and pounced on him like a cheetah.

In the crowd, Hua Tiandu was looking at the two men and a demon fighting fiercely in the martial arts arena, and many thoughts were in his mind.

"Fang? Could it be the ancestor of the Fang family where Fang Qingxue will be from in the future?"

"It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

It’s not his fault that he is sensitive, it’s because Fang Qingxue and Fang Han put too much pressure on him.

For a moment, Hua Tian was overwhelmed with thoughts. When he came to his senses again, the winner in the martial arts arena had already been decided.

The demon had already fallen to the ground, and it was obvious that Fang Wei had won.

"Next one, Dayuan Dynasty, Zhang Xian."

Unfortunately, this guy not only has low strength, but also has poor psychological quality.

When the demon pounced on him, he was frightened and seemed flustered when fighting back. In just a few breaths, he was defeated by the demon and ended up with a broken arm. It was a miserable scene.

"Next one, Dayuan Dynasty, Li Haoran."

……

"Next, the Dayuan Dynasty, Huatiandu."

As time passed, it was finally Hua Tiandu's turn to enter.
