Chapter 435 Passing the test You run to the valley entrance and can't get in again. No matter whether you are a participant of the Divine Fire Alliance or not, once you come out, you are not allowed to enter again. Zhu Xiangxin was at a loss as to what to do. He sat blankly on the hillside at one side of the valley entrance, floating in his confused thoughts. It didn't take long before he was awakened by a familiar voice at the mouth of the valley. He looked around and saw a familiar figure in the night. It was none other than An Wuzhi, who was also stopped by the guards at the mouth of the valley and was not allowed to go back. It was useless to negotiate with him as the guards said: The rules are dead. In fact, there was more than one wave of people who broke the rules and entered. "Brother An." Zhu Xiangxin raised his neck and shouted. An Wuzhi looked back and was stunned to see that it was her. He realized that he was distracted and did not notice the person sitting next to him. He stopped arguing with the guard and walked over and sat quietly next to Zhu Xiangxin, looking very silent. Zhu Xiangxin tried to ask, "You didn't return to the sect?" An Wuzhi glanced at her and couldn't help laughing, "If our sect knew that we absorbed so much divine fire, would we be able to return to this exit so quickly?" Zhu Xiangxin hugged his knees and looked at the stars. An Wuzhi also looked up to the sky and sighed, "It's really disheartening! He's been in jail for more than half a year, and no one even asked about his situation. He still hasn't figured it out, and he's still hoping for a lucky break. The boss is right, if we go back like this, we'll really overshadow some people, and there may not be room for us. Well, let's cut off all ties and have no worries. I don't believe that I can't get a suitable method of cultivation even if I have money. There's also the boss, he has a lot of ways, I'll ask him to help us think of a solution later. Don't sit here guarding the door, let's go." After saying that, he stood up.

Zhu Xiangxin turned his head and asked, "Where are you going?" An Wuzhi: "Where else can we go? Let's go to where Duan Xiangmei and the others are staying." Yes, Zhu Xiangxin just remembered that she was not alone after leaving the sect where she came from. She also had companions outside the valley. Thinking of the petite girl who did chores for everyone, she suddenly felt more cheerful and stood up and said, "Let's go find Xiangmei!" The two of them walked down the hill together. The search process was a bit bumpy. The guest room in the inn had not been checked out, but the person was not there... The Lihuo Sect disciple who came again informed Shi Chun of the new rules and then left. Shi Chun's voice of laughing loudly towards the sky was heard. The Lihuo Sect disciples looked back several times, quickened their pace and left. Everyone in the yard was staring at Shi Chun, who was almost laughing to tears. After he finally stopped, Master Nan came over and patted him on the shoulder, "You're still laughing. This new rule is clearly aimed at you. It's trying to test your bottom line. If it doesn't work, I'm afraid the rules will have to be further revised." Shi Chun waved his hands, "This is what I am laughing at. The entire refining world has repeatedly modified the rules to target them. I, Shi Chun, also have this day. What an honor. Isn't it worth laughing at this rare occasion?" Young Master Nan shook his head slightly, thought about it, and reminded: "The Divine Fire Covenant is only taken seriously by the weapon refining world. In fact, the Divine Fire Domain and the like are not considered a big deal in the eyes of the entire cultivation world." Shi Chun chuckled twice, "I just think that the methods used in the weapon refining world are just this low-level." Young Master Nan sighed, "No matter how low your level is, they still have the final say. You have to agree to participate in the competition first." "Promise, why not?" Shi Chun said, and waved to Tong Mingshan cheerfully, "Master, let's go. I'll go with you." In fact, there is also helplessness in his laughter, and he has to let others manipulate him. Even Tong Mingshan himself is not sure about something, so he can only accompany others to give it a try. There is no need to delay. The sooner you verify it, the sooner you can face the consequences. This time, he was not the only one accompanying them, a group of people followed. The place for verification is right where registration for the competition takes place, in a hall in Qiyun Valley where official business is handled. After the new rules were announced, the verification process was taken control of by the ten major sects, and each sect sent an elder to lead people to take charge. There were only about a hundred people who had registered to attend the conference before, and now there are already thirty or forty people queuing up after hearing the news. Shi Chun and his group did not arrive early, and although they were at the back of the queue, they have already attracted the attention of various factions.

The elders of each faction had people reporting to them one after another, causing them to look outside from time to time. The person they were waiting for had arrived. The so-called verification is actually to set up a mirror in the hall, named "Fire Soul Yuan Guang Mirror". It was originally a treasure used to observe the temperature when refining tools. Now it is used for this test. The person being tested stands in front of the mirror, and the degree of his fire nature will be shown in the treasure mirror. People going in line up in a long queue through the main entrance, and people coming out go out through the side door. When you enter the hall and stand under the mirror, the color of virtual flame will appear in the mirror's reflection. After passing the check, you leave the mirror, check your identity, tick your name and be included in the list, then the verification is completed and you can leave. They came very quickly, without wasting any time, and those who were able to rush over to verify it at the first opportunity were basically people who had absorbed a divine fire. Even though he only absorbed one divine fire, he was already the envy of most weapon refiners. When Shi Chun and his group entered the hall, an elder pointed at them and shouted, "Are you all the registered candidates?" Young Master Nan said cheerfully, "Can't we come in and take a look? You didn't say no spectators when you notified us." Someone pressed the elder's arm to stop the tit-for-tat argument, and then responded in a friendly manner, "Onlookers should not mix in the team. Onlookers, please come out and stand aside." So more than twenty people came out here and stood aside. There was nothing they could do. Only ten people came out from Guangmingshan Sect, and then there were another ten or so from Young Master Nan's sect. The queue immediately shortened a lot. When I was watching from the sidelines, instead of standing behind, I saw the people being checked passing by one by one, and I finally understood what the so-called verification was all about. Soon it was Tong Mingshan's turn. When he came on stage, not only was he nervous, but Shi Chun also tensed up. The other people in Mingshan Sect, including Wu Jinliang, were still not quite sure what was going on. Young Master Nan was naturally even more puzzled. He felt that there was no need for this test. He even felt that there was no need to sign up. He couldn't understand what Shi Chun was doing and he refused to explain the situation to him. So he was quite curious and wanted to see how many divine fires Tong Mingshan had absorbed to make Shi Chun hesitate and embarrassed to tell the truth. After Tong Mingshan stood in front of the mirror, the person holding the 'Fire Soul Yuan Guang Mirror' cast a spell to control the treasure, and immediately a virtual light in the mirror shone on Tong Mingshan's body. After a while, Tong Mingshan's figure in the mirror began to shake and blur, and four virtual flame lights in black, white, red and blue swayed slightly in the mirror image. What the hell, only four? Young Master Nan's eyes almost popped out of their sockets, his face full of disbelief. He looked at Tong Mingshan, then at Shi Chun who was relieved. What was going on? What did this mean? He finally understood why they dared to come for inspection. At the same time, I also don't understand, are those weapon-refining sects inexperienced or what, that they would join forces to strangle you just for such a small piece of stuff? The Mingshan Sect's group came back to their senses from their daze, including Wu Jinliang, they all had a sense of sudden enlightenment, and then looked at each other, roughly understanding what was going on, because they knew that Tong Mingshan absorbed twenty-six divine fires and fused two real fires. They now understood where the four divine fires in the mirror came from. Their eyes also turned to Shi Chun one after another. No wonder, it turned out that this was how it could be played. This was a hidden killer move to stab someone in the back. One by one, amusement began to emerge in their eyes, feeling that this time the game was a bit big, and played in a sly way. They found that no matter what decision the boss made, he would never let them down. They were now looking forward to Tong Mingshan's appearance and competition with various factions in the weapon refining world. After the daydream, Wu Jinliang couldn’t help grinning again. Tong Mingshan looked back at Shi Chun, who greeted him with a slight smile. The treasure holder couldn't believe his eyes, so he spent a lot of time on Tong Mingshan. After repeated verification, he shouted, "Tong Mingshan, the four sacred fires, next one." When the sound was heard, the people in the queue behind were shocked. Before, there were only one flower at a time, not even two. Four flowers were already a very incredible number for those who came later.

Of course, after hearing the corresponding name was 'Tong Ming Shan', they all felt strange. According to what they had heard before in the Divine Fire Domain, there shouldn't be only four flowers. Just as Tong Mingshan was about to walk away, an elder suddenly stood up and shouted, "Wait." The noise at the scene was stopped, and the elder walked over personally and asked the treasure holder to leave. Then he went on stage himself and personally operated the 'Fire Soul Yuan Guang Mirror' to verify Tong Mingshan. After discovering that there were indeed four divine fires, he left with doubts. But the other elders still didn't believe him, worried that there was some collusion going on here, so someone personally came on the scene and personally controlled the magic weapon to verify it. It's not just that one person doesn't believe everyone, but no one believes the elders of other sects, and they all insist on verifying it personally. A few who were unwilling to give in even attacked Tong Mingshan directly, which made Shi Chun nervous. But for Tong Mingshan, this is actually easy to handle. His true fire is formed by the fusion of twelve different divine fires, so he can artificially control each true fire to produce twelve different fire feelings of divine fire, and he can choose any one of them to let people feel it. After confirming that there were only four different kinds of sacred fire, the elders from the ten major sects had no choice but to accept this reality. They looked at each other and silently sat back in their seats. Until this moment, they finally understood why Tong Mingshan dared to sign up for the competition despite the new competition rules. There were only four of them. With four divine fires, why not sign up and give it a try? Anyone would give it a try. Some elders felt relieved, knowing that Tong Mingshan could not possibly be better than their own disciples. If the four divine fires could overwhelm their own disciples and win the championship, it would be necessary for an unparalleled genius to emerge in the weapon refining world. It’s okay, it’s okay, an elder waved his hand to signal to let go. Tong Mingshan then turned around and left, went to the list verification office, and filled in his name again. The Mingshan Sect members who had been watching nervously finally breathed a sigh of relief. With confidence, Shi Chun started to shout, "When I was queuing outside, I heard many people say that this competition was unfair. They said that some people came out early and had enough rest, while those who came out later were exhausted and didn't get enough rest. They had to be in a semi-exhausted state against others' perfect state. I agree with this. After all, my Mingshan Sect also wants to participate in the competition. So I would like to ask the elders on behalf of the people from all sects who are participating in the competition, how can we show fairness in this regard?" (End of this chapter)
