In the registration room, Ye Shuo faced the column at the top of the table "Is it an elite disciple?" and made a difficult situation.

It was only at this time that he remembered again that the rules of the competition for the seven major sects were elite disciples vs elite disciples, and ordinary disciples vs ordinary disciples. It is said that to ensure fairness. Then, this column must be used to divide the key to the contestants’ submissions.

Logically speaking, he is indeed not an elite disciple now. But once this "no" is written, does it mean that he is officially classified as an ordinary disciple, and the battles between those elite disciples will be out of reach for him?

After thinking about it, Ye Shuo finally raised his head and asked, "Can I fill in 'yes' in this column? And I have now broken through to the Qi Gathering Level. Usually, all the Qi Gathering Level disciples are basically elite disciples, right?"

The disciple in charge looked at it and shook his head repeatedly, "This is not possible. Junior Brother Ye and elite disciples will be awarded a proprietary token. This is both a glory and a symbol of identity. Moreover, the list will be kept and sealed by the seven major sects. It does not mean that as long as the strength is achieved, you can easily call yourself an elite disciple."

"Then," Ye Shuo asked urgently, "How can we become an elite disciple?"

The disciple in charge grabbed his scalp and thought hard, but still shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I only know that there seems to be some common assessments of the seven major sects... I'm so embarrassed, Junior Brother Ye, look, I'm just an ordinary qi-level disciple, and I'm responsible for sorting out some information every day. Those elite disciples are too far away from me, so I really don't know much. Otherwise, go and ask Taoist Master Chen?"

"Uh... it's so troublesome..." Ye Shuo looked around in the registration room for a week, and all the disciples looked at him blankly. "Well, Junior Brother Ye, your situation is a bit special, and it's not easy for us to deal with..." The disciple in charge carefully peeked at Ye Shuo.

Looking at the disciples in charge, Ye Shuo thought about it and decided to go to find Taoist Master Chen, but he always had a bad idea in his mind...

"Is Shuo'er back?" Taoist Master Le Chen picked up a chess piece in his hand, staring at the layout of the chessboard in front of him, as if he was considering the location. "Junior Sister Yu Chen has told me about the details, how about it, the consultant is fine, right?"

"Well, the consultant's situation is fine." Ye Shuo nodded silently, but there was not much joy on his face because of this "good news". "Actually, Master, I came to you today with another thing. It's about 'applying to become an elite disciple'. What do I need to do?"

Taoist Master Lechen raised his eyebrows slightly, and his move stopped in the air: "Elite Disciple?" It seemed that Ye Shuo's unexpected question was stunned. He thought about it, turned his hand and gently pulled his white beard, and smiled and said, "If you apply to become an elite disciple, you need to participate in a special elite disciple assessment. This is also a large-scale event held by the seven major sects.

At a fixed time, the seven major sects will select a group of the best disciples, recommended by the head, and participate in the final assessment together.

The format of the assessment is divided into literary and martial exams. The literary exam is very simple, just to test some of the most basic common sense in the spiritual world. The martial exam is not difficult. It is gathered by all the disciples who have passed the literary exam and perform some special tasks within the limited examination room. After the task, the assessment will naturally pass.

If the task is completed a bit unsatisfactory, the judges outside the venue will also fairly measure their final results based on the performance of each candidate in the examination room - Shuoer, why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

"When will the latest elite disciple assessment start?" As soon as Taoist Master Lechen finished speaking, Ye Shuo couldn't wait to ask. This is his most concerned question. As for the competition form, he is confident. As long as he is given a chance, he can pass any form!

This time, Taoist Master Lechen was silent for a long time. At this time, he probably understood what Ye Shuo was planning, but the answer he was about to give was not what he wanted to hear... Under Ye Shuo's expectant gaze, Taoist Master Lechen finally raised his head and looked at him, saying word by word: "March next year."

"Next March...?Next year?!" Ye Shuo only felt a thunderbolt explode in his mind, "But the competition of the seven major sects will begin this October! This is not that it is too late..."

Taoist Master Lechen sighed, gently smoothed the wrinkles on his neckline for Ye Shuo, and said warmly: "Master understands that you are so hurrying because you want to participate in the group of elite disciples during the competition of the seven major sects, right?

Alas, it’s good to have this ambition, of course, your strength is definitely enough! When you stepped forward to stop An Yun from casting the forbidden spell in the sect competition, I saw that your potential is limitless. During this period, you were away from home and went to find antidotes for your consultants, and passed the results back to the Xuantian Sect one by one. This is all proof of your strength!

Although all our elders agree that you are definitely a well-deserved elite disciple, this rule is a rule... Since you have not passed the assessment of elite disciples, we cannot report you as an elite disciple.

Although it’s a pity, it’s fine this time. After passing the assessment next year, you can participate in the next seven sect competition! By that time, you can really show your skills. Anyway, this competition is not just one this year.”

"But...but..." Ye Shuo's mood suddenly turned sharply. Master Lechen's pale comfort only made him feel more aggrieved. When he tried hard to search for his chaotic thinking, a ray of inspiration was suddenly pulled out by him: "By the way! But Mo Liangcheng of the Fentian Sect once told me that he had never participated in the previous competition of the seven major sects. That is to say, his time to get started was actually similar to mine? Then why could he become an elite disciple?"

Taoist Master Lechen's smile froze: "Mo Liangcheng of the Fentian Sect... is that right? You have seen him..." At this time, one hand he put on Ye Shuo's shoulder slowly pulled it away, and half of his body turned inward, and the expression on his face was a little bitter no matter how he looked at it.

"Maybe it's because he is from the Fentian Sect..."

"What's wrong with him being the Fentian Sect? Can the Fentian Sect ignore the rules?" Taoist Master Lechen's words as light as himself made Ye Shuo even more confused.

"Fentian Sect..." Taoist Master Lechen raised his head and smiled faintly, "Shuoer, you probably understand the situation of the Dingtian Mountains, right? The Fentian Sect has always occupied the position of the leader among the seven major sects. Many things seem to be democratic, but the final decision-making power is still in the hands of Xu Wuji?

Other sects must abide by this rule for the assessment of elite disciples, but Xu Wuji is different. It can be said that anyone who wants to be elite disciples can be the one who wants to be. So your situation is still different after all."

"It's so unfair!" Ye Shuo's fists clenched, clattering, he must abide by the rules, and everyone should be abide by them; if it's unfair, everyone should be unfair; if Mo Liangcheng is an ordinary disciple like him today, then Ye Shuo admitted that unlucky, but now, someone openly took a shortcut in front of everyone... Can he wantonly deprive others of his dreams because he is the overlord of the Dingtian Mountains?

"So if I go to Xu Wuji now and ask him to take the exam for me separately, is that OK?" Ye Shuo said impulsively.

Taoist Master Le Chen shook his head and sighed: "It's useless, Shuo'er. Xu Wuji sees that our Xuantian Sect has always been very wrong. If you go to him now, he will definitely put forward the rules to suppress you. Maybe, let's give us Xuantian Sect a charge of going to the back door. Why bother?

In fact, why bother with the name of an elite disciple so obsessed with it? In the hearts of master and all elders, you have always been an elite disciple!

And this time your opponent is just ordinary disciples from other sects, so you can definitely master the skills of the whole game! Hahaha, at least in the competition for ordinary disciples, give us the first one for Xuantian Sect and let them see that we still have a 'hidden elite disciple' here!——”

"Master, I'll take my leave first." Ye Shuo could no longer listen, so he turned around and ran out of the hall.

...

It's obviously...I've made an appointment.

Thinking about how they were so excited about the battle they had at the Tianlan Secret Realm, they had made an appointment with Mo Liang City and Luo Dixing to meet at the competition. At that time, how much excitement and expectation were there in their hearts?

But now, do you want me to be a villain who is untrustworthy?

I was not defeated by the enemy, but I was going to be defeated by this realistic environment.

Both of them are elite disciples who are arrogant and can stand on the wider stage and compete with stronger opponents.

And I can only be limited to ordinary disciples and play various pediatric games with them?

Ye Shuo felt that before this, his expectations for the competition of the seven major sects were disappearing like a bubble.

Master... Master doesn't understand my mood at all.

They all can only say that elite disciples are just a name, and there is no big deal. However, without this name, I don’t even have the chance to prove myself.

Ye Shuo walked to Jiyi Peak in dismay all the way, sat down silently on the small earth slope, pulled up a small grass on the ground, and gently plucked the sand in front of him.

The jade slip for the transmission was placed at his hand. When he parted in the Tianlan Secret Realm, Mo Liang City had left him with a soul mark. If he asked him for help now... as long as he was willing to help, this matter would probably be sure to be sure.

However, Ye Shuo glanced at Yu Jian and couldn't make up his mind to interrogate him.

No matter what, this is really ugly. He didn't want to use his "life-saving grace" to Mo Liang City in the illusion to threaten Mo Liang City again and again. After all, he helped him a lot in the Tianlan Secret Realm later.

Moreover, this nature is actually "going to the back door". Even if he doesn't think about himself, can he not consider the reputation of Xuantian Sect? Xuwuji will inevitably make a big fuss about this matter. At that time, the Xuantian Sect team will walk among the crowd and everyone will point fingers. At that time, can he still be proud of being an elite disciple?

I don't know how long it took, but another figure sat down beside him.

"Ye Shuo, why haven't you returned to the registration room? I've submitted the registration form for you. What does the master say about the assessment of elite disciples?"

Ye Shuo glanced at the consultant beside him and sighed silently.

"Thank you. But whether to register or not or participate in the competition is meaningless to me..." Thinking of this, Ye Shuo sighed again with a sad sigh.

"What's wrong? Ye Shuo, who was determined to stand at the top of the spiritual continent, suddenly lost interest in participating in the competition?" The consultant joked to him.

Under the urging of the consultant, Ye Shuo finally expressed all the worries in his heart. When he thought that he could only participate in the competition of ordinary disciples, his opponents would be like Yuanji Fan Cheng, Han Diyue Fu Mo Sheng and others, he felt like his body was hollowed out. How could he be motivated?!

Ye Shuo finally spoke up. He thought the consultant would comfort him, but he didn't know that what he had waited for was one sentence: "Ye Shuo, Ye Shuo, are you still Ye Shuo I know?!"

This is what Ye Shuo said to the consultant in Baicaotang. When this familiar word sounded in his ears again, Ye Shuo, who was depressed, was slightly stunned.

"When did you become so vain?" Immediately afterwards, the consultant's next sentence was mercilessly smashed.

"Vii? I'm vain?" Ye Shuo turned around. Master and others didn't understand him, and didn't even understand the good brothers who grew up together? Even he thought that he wanted the title of elite disciple just because of vain?!

"Isn't it right?" the consultant was aggressive, "I just said that you wanted to pass the assessment as soon as possible because at the competition of the seven major sects, you just wanted to fight with those two elite disciples. Do you think they are the only ones who deserve your opponent, right? But they were not born as elite disciples on the first day, who did not slowly hone their skills from ordinary disciples?

You look down on ordinary disciples so much now, don’t forget that you are just an ordinary disciple! So since among ordinary disciples, there are geniuses like you, how do you know that there are no such evil spirits in other sects, but they are not lucky and just missed the previous assessment?"

"..." Ye Shuo's pupils slowly expanded. The consultant's words really touched his heart. Indeed, he was determined to advance to an elite disciple as soon as possible, not only to make an agreement with the two, but also because he had subconsciously despised other ordinary disciples.

Since entering the spiritual world, he has really gone too smoothly than ordinary people. These successes that have been too easy have also unknowingly cultivated a sense of superiority for him.

On the surface, he can still talk and play with other disciples and is still willing to help others, but at the opponent's level, he no longer puts the people around him and himself. He is complacent about his strength, and this mentality is actually quite dangerous on the road to a strong person...

Indeed, there are dragons and tigers hidden on the spiritual continent. Who knows which passerby who is not astonishingly looks is actually a hidden master?

When practicing one's way, it's important to cultivate one's mind. It's right to have confidence in one's own strength. But being too proud and arrogant is a taboo...

"I understand!" Ye Shuo's eyes regained his usual confidence, "Even if the opponent is just an ordinary disciple, I will definitely do my best! No matter what, this is the first competition for the seven major sects I have participated in! This time, thank you really, consultant."

The consultant smiled: "I was so pretentious just now, but now I'm so polite. This is really not like you. By the way, there is one more thing that I may not be able to practice with you frequently from now on. I plan to live in Baicaotang for the time being. Of course, you can still come to see me often."

"What?!" Ye Shuo, who was still smirking just now, suddenly widened his eyes again, "You still want to pick up girls? When are you planning to fall into depravity?"

"Ye Shuo!" the consultant wailed, "I am really such a lustful person in your eyes!... Well, but if you just explain this to the outside world, it seems that it's OK."

Ye Shuo looked at the consultant who changed his mouth quickly, frowned and looked up and down at him from all angles. Finally, he came to him again, with a serious expression.

"Is it... because of Senior Brother Chu? Are you still guarding against him?"

The consultant remained silent, as if he had agreed. Ye Shuo did not wait for his answer, and sat down next to him silently and said to himself: "But speaking, what are Senior Brother Chu doing now? I have been back for so long and have never seen him."

"He was in seclusion." The consultant answered quickly, "You went out to find the antidote, but later he came back alone. Then he went to Anyun's room and hurriedly went into seclusion. It is said that he was preparing for the competition of the seven major sects, and wanted to break through to the sixth stage of Qi Gathering.

However, it has been so long since I went to An Yun's room. Could it be that... his goal has been achieved...?" At the end, the consultant gently supported his chin with his hands, and some complicated emotions began to appear in his eyes.

"In seclusion..." Ye Shuo did not notice the consultant's concern. At this time, he was swaying his legs back and forth, looking at the sky with longing eyes. "Speaking of this, I should have made some preparations for the competition of the seven major sects..."
