."Tian Long was speechless. "You are such a weirdo."
"Thanks for the compliment."
"I'm not praising you. If you really can't come forward directly, then do what I did and find chess pieces to test, and then compare the chess pieces to determine whether the specific power of the immortal magic will pose a threat to you." Tian Long said.
"Not a bad idea." Lin Hui's eyes lit up. He was just a practitioner. He didn't know any management strategies. When in trouble, he could just use his sword to cut him down.
Now that I have Tian Long's advice, I suddenly feel that this method is very suitable.
"It's just that the difficulty with this method is how to find suitable chess pieces. If it is weak, it will not produce the desired effect, and if it is strong, it will be difficult to control." Tian Long said.
Lin Hui was thoughtful and already had an idea in his mind.

"The latest news is that the gym owner has decided to select core students, which requires a high degree of recognition from the gym owner. All students who have completed the selection will receive monthly money, receive the secret method taught by the gym owner, and their strength will be greatly improved."
The martial arts disciples in charge of publicity kept banging the ground with iron rods in their hands to attract everyone's attention.
"Example money?"
"Secret method??"
Each student was attracted by different emphases and looked towards the person doing the propaganda.
On the school grounds, Liu Xuezhen, who was practicing swordsmanship with a female student, also heard the news.
"Core students?" When she heard this term, she immediately thought of some unspeakable images.
"Does that mean I can get along with the owner every day??" she asked with her eyes shining.
"Well... I guess it is that in our gym before, only the senior sister Wu Anning could be considered a core member. Basically, the senior sister would spend a long time with the gym owner every day." The senior sister who was coaching the sword one-on-one said with a slight hesitation.
"Hey, hey, I want to sign up!!" Before she could react, Liu Xuezhen had disappeared from her eyes.
Not far away, the guy had already squeezed in front of the registered Rough Martial Arts disciples and began to report his private information.
The senior sister shook her head helplessly, turned and left.
Not everyone yearns for the treatment of core students. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if these core students are given such good treatment, they must also pay a reciprocal price.
But in the sword hall, there are always students in need, whether they are well paid or have secret skills. Some come in to survive, and some come in to protect themselves and become stronger. There is always something that attracts everyone.
The selection process only lasted one morning, and the list registration was completed.
After lunch at noon, the rice was provided by the sword hall. It had enough meat and you could eat until you were full. Except that you were not allowed to pack it, you could feel free to do the rest.
This meal alone made Liu Xuezhen secretly admire it.
Ordinary martial arts schools would never dare to open such a supply. After all, these students who exercise every day are not ordinary people who only eat one or two bowls at a meal. Eating five or six bowls at a meal, plus a few kilograms of meat, is too little.
After lunch, all the people on the list were taken to another separate small courtyard in the afternoon.
This is the core courtyard prepared by Lin Hui alone. As the headquarters where the core disciples gather, it is the same as Qingfeng Sect Courtyard at Mist Man World.
He was slightly stunned when he saw registered students coming in one after another. There were seven people in total, including Liu Xuezhen.
But she quickly calmed down. This girl has only been in the industry for a long time, and it is basically impossible for her to pass the recognition screening.
In order to avoid the turmoil caused by the screened Dharma Seal luster, Lin Hui specifically suppresses the Dharma Seal glow.
In addition, it is not like giving Wu Anning directly to True Body, which has changed the most. Instead, it chooses Righteous Seal, which is extremely concealed.
In this way, the effect of improving perception and understanding cannot be seen in a short period of time, but it allows Lin Hui to determine whether the person is sincere at the first time.
Soon, each student stepped forward to receive the seal.
Wu Anning recorded the results on the side, and everyone was confirmed.
"Everyone can go back. If you pass the test, we will send someone to notify you individually." Lin Hui said with a smile.
"Yes."
Everyone dispersed and left the courtyard one after another.
At first, everyone thought that additional special tests were needed to complete the final assessment, but now it's just a simple tap on everyone's forehead?
After everyone has finished, Lin Hui will report the passed list to Wu Anning, allowing him to arrange subsequent adjustments.
"This...Liu Xuezhen also passed?" Wu Anning said in surprise.
"Well, I don't know why, but passing means passing. Write it down." Lin Hui didn't care. Liu Xuezhen only had a slightly special status. In his eyes, there was not much difference compared to other students.
After the test, he already had a basic understanding of the approximate strength assessment of the spiritual world.
Among the seven people, only four actually passed. Except for Liu Xuezhen, the other three were Liu Xiu, Du Changjun, and Ouyang Shan.
Among the four, Liu Xiu and Liu Xuezhen are both women.
Except for Liu Xuezhen, the other three are all from rough martial arts backgrounds, which is also in line with the basic judgment logic of Lin Hui.
Jingwu students don't have that much motivation to fight.
"Well, I thought everyone would be willing to come to the rough martial arts..." Wu Anning sighed. "The world has just become a little more stable, and then it starts to relax again."
That is to say, under the recent governance of Liu Changjing, the entire city has become much more stable than before.
And obviously, after the lives of the rough martial arts disciples improved to a certain extent, they also started to slack off.
"Human nature is like this, just get used to it." Lin Hui didn't take it seriously.
He raised his head and looked at the sickle moon in the night sky.
"Tonight, the weather may be nice."
"?" Wu Anning didn't know why he said this at this time, but it didn't matter, as long as it was said by the owner, she would agree with it.

Within South City Residence.
In the oversized pink bedroom, Liu Xuezhen rolled around on the bed holding his voice.
"Hahahahaha!! I knew I could pass!!"
She was so happy holding the teddy bear that she had sewn, that she could not stop drooling.
After rolling a few times, she sat up.
"But speaking of it, the swordsmanship taught in the sword hall is a bit strange. It seems to be very different from the martial arts halls in other places." She has also been to other martial arts halls to compare, but even if it is the strongest martial arts hall in the city, it does not make her feel as weird as the sword hall.
It's like what the two sides practice is not the same system at all.
Boom, boom, boom.
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door of the room.
"Zhenzhen, are you asleep? Can I come in?" Father Liu Changjing's voice came from outside the door.
"Come in, dad, I'm not sleeping." Liu Xuezhen said quickly.
With a click, Liu Changjing opened the door and came in. He glanced at his daughter, whose face was flushed, and then thought about what the bodyguard reported to him about what happened today. He suddenly had an idea in his mind.
"Zhenzhen, you'd better think carefully about the Pine Breeze Sword Hall's selection." People choose core members obviously to cultivate their confidants. Why would your daughter come in to join in the fun?
"Consider? Consider what?" Liu Xuezhen asked doubtfully.
Seeing the confused expression on his face, Liu Changjing felt helpless and immediately explained the situation to his daughter.
Unexpectedly, my daughter had a completely normal expression after hearing this.
"That's why I joined!"
"You have to consider your identity. What is your identity? What level is he Pine Breeze Sword Hall? If you say a word, how many gym owners can't even open a martial arts gym, and now you want to turn around and join the ranks of others' confidants? This makes him your confidant, but you are turning the other way around!?" Liu Changjing was simply speechless.
"Dad, why don't you go and ask him to be my confidant?" Liu Xuezhen tried.
"This..." Liu Changjing is a very principled person. If he is asked to do such a thing of pure bullying, he really can't do it.
"Look, you can't do it, right? Our gym owner is different from other martial arts gyms. He is different!" Liu Xuezhen said seriously.
Seeing the nymphomaniac look on her daughter's face, Liu Changjing was completely helpless.
After trying to persuade her for a while, it still had no effect, so she could only shake her head and leave the room.
He had previously asked a mage to check to see if his daughter had been charmed by magic, but the result was no.
My daughter is very normal and all decisions are made entirely by herself.
This made him even more helpless.
After his father left, Liu Xuezhen got up and started his evening homework.
Apart from learning swordsmanship in the sword hall, her main task still has to be on her unfinished studies.
Her father hired a special tutor to train her in all aspects, including many foreign languages, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and philosophy.
In fact, except for the two hours in the morning and evening when she went to the sword gym to practice swordsmanship, she had to spend the rest of her time in these classes.
Of those two hours, she appropriated an extra hour of her own rest time for the sword gym.
When she got home, she dug out today's homework again, starting with math.
"Huh?"
Suddenly Liu Xuezhen noticed something was wrong.
On weekdays, I always find it extremely boring and difficult to solve math problems, but now I can answer them as easily as eating and drinking.
It feels almost effortless.
Could it be that my condition has improved?" She guessed in her mind, and after quickly completing her math homework, she started studying three foreign languages.
But this time she learned for sure that she had suddenly changed.
The recitation and memorization of three foreign languages can be done almost once at a glance.
Then came other subjects. The more Liu Xuezhen tried, the more shocked he became.
In less than an hour, she completed all her homework, which normally would have taken at least two and a half hours to complete.
What special thing happened today? Why was it so much faster than usual?
If it was one or two o'clock, she could still attribute it to her good condition, but it was so much faster...
Then it cannot be explained clearly by one state.
Recalling it carefully, Liu Xuezhen suddenly flashed through Liu Xuezhen's mind a sentence he left behind when he was tested by the owner in the yard today.
"After today, some of you should feel more strange than usual, but don't panic. This is all normal. When you come to the sword hall later, everything will be clear."
"Is it possible?" Liu Xuezhen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he noticed a mysterious aura.
At this moment, Bai Tian had just completed the sealing of Lin Hui.
Wearing a black mask on the front, surrounded by slightly twisted air currents, he stood in a mountain forest and looked far ahead at a small abandoned and dilapidated summer garden.
He learned from the three people he kidnapped the location of the stronghold of a small-scale mage force in the wild, so he decided to change his identity and come to collect some expendable chess pieces.
Cultivate cronies on the front, capture and recover the good ones on the dark side, combine yin and yang, a two-pronged approach will achieve the highest efficiency.
As for whether this force is willing or not, that is not up to them.
