While the three were talking, a figure had already approached.
"Haha, it seems like you three are already familiar with each other."
A hearty laugh reached their ears, and Ye Chen and the other two looked in the direction of the sound at the same time.
The person who came was a spirited old man with a smile on his face, giving people a strong sense of affinity...
"Greetings, Elder Sheng!" Cao Ying took the lead and greeted the visitor.
When Ye Chen heard this name, he immediately thought of someone. Among the eight elders of Danta, in addition to the five major families, there are three people who are not from the five major families. Among them are the most powerful elder Qiu Ling, the elder who was previously in charge of the assessment Mu Rong, and the last one, it is none other than the elder Sheng Yao in front of him.
Don't be fooled by Sheng Yao's kind face at this moment, but he is actually a genuine seventh-grade peak alchemist. Even among the top forces in the entire Zhongzhou, he is a real guest of honor!
Sheng Yao also appeared in the original novel. It was in the assessment of the five major families in which Xiao Yan represented the Ye family that Sheng Yao appeared as the host.
"Meet Elder Sheng!"
Ye Chen and Song Qing followed suit and greeted him.
"Alright, let's skip the formalities. You three, follow me..."
He turned around and took Ye Chen and the other two directly to the podium.
Looking at the six people sitting on the field, even Ye Chen couldn't help but feel his heart beating faster.
As soon as the three of them came onto the stage, they instantly felt themselves being stared at by six sword-like gazes, and then they were looked at from top to bottom, inside and out as if with X-ray vision.
"Haha, three little guys, don't be nervous." Xuan Kongzi in the middle was the first to laugh.
"I think you can probably guess why I asked you to come here. Yes, I asked you to come here because I'm planning to accept you as Danta's core disciples and I want to ask for your opinions..."
Although Xuan Kongzi's words were very gentle, there was still a moment of silence among the three of them.
Finally, it was Ye Chen who took the lead and said, "I will follow the president's arrangements..."
Seeing Ye Chen's statement, Song Qing beside him also stepped forward quickly: "I... I will also follow the president's arrangements..."
As for Cao Ying, after secretly glancing at her ancestor, she pursed her lips and said the same thing.
Xuan Kongzi nodded in satisfaction, then looked around...
The results have already been discussed, so next we just have to follow the results of the discussion.
Qiu Ling spoke first, looking at Song Qing, and said in a deep voice: "Song Qing, I am Qiu Ling, the great elder of Danta. Are you willing to take me as your master?"
Even though he had been mentally prepared, when the incident really happened, Song Qing was still a little confused, his head was buzzing...
Fortunately, Ye Chen pulled his sleeve and woke up the dazed guy. He then knelt down on the ground, kowtowed deeply and called him "Teacher"!
Qiu Ling nodded and asked Song Qing to stand behind him. Then he looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, and fell silent.
Ye Chen was not in a hurry. He still stood there quietly, waiting for his teacher to appear, without showing any sign of anxiety.
Behind the hills, Xuan Yi, the only female alchemist, spoke up: "Little girl from the Cao family, follow me and practice..."
Cao Ying was moved when he heard this, and immediately became the disciple with great joy.
Although the three giants present were led by Xuan Kongzi, it would be better to have a equally beautiful woman as a teacher than an old man, right?
What's more, the three giants of Danta are actually equal in status. It is because Xuan Kongzi is responsible for the operation of the entire Danta and bears the title of president that the outside world thinks that the three giants are headed by Xuan Kongzi.
From the ancestor of the Cao family, Cao Ying had long known that the real core of Danta was actually the small Danta hidden in the dark, and the three giants served as elders in the small Danta at the same time, with no particular order, so as long as one became a disciple of the three giants, it didn't matter which one specifically.
It seems that this is the change caused by my arrival...
Seeing this scene, Ye Chen couldn't help but think.
In the original novel, Cao Ying was a disciple of Xuan Kongzi, but because of my existence, in this life, Cao Ying is a disciple of Xuan Yi, so there is a 90% chance that her teacher is Xuan Kongzi...
Glancing at Cao Ying, Ye Chen couldn't help but think...
Xuan Yi was deeply in love with Yao Chen, but unfortunately his confession was rejected. Now that Cao Ying has become Xuan Yi's disciple, will she repeat the same mistakes as her teacher?
Thinking of this, Ye Chen suddenly felt a little bit excited...
"Oh my god! Could it be that I inherited my mother's gene of loving gossip and watching the fun?" Ye Chen regained his composure and muttered to himself.
When he raised his head, his gaze met Xuan Kongzi's.
"Haha, young man from the Ye family, are you willing to take me as your master?"
After hearing this, Ye Chen naturally did not say anything and completed the apprenticeship ceremony in a very serious and polite manner.
Xuan Kongzi nodded in satisfaction, his voice tinged with intimacy as he said, "Alright. Chen'er, come behind me. After this assessment is complete, you will follow me to the true location of the Dan Tower."
"Yes, teacher." Ye Chen agreed, and then stood behind his teacher like Song Qing and Cao Ying.
Because Xuan Kongzi and Xuan Yi were sitting next to each other, Ye Chen and Cao Ying were not far away. So when Ye Chen turned around inadvertently, he saw this girl secretly making faces at him...
After being caught red-handed by Ye Chen, the girl not only did not restrain herself, but instead glanced at Ye Chen with her narrow eyes, which made Ye Chen speechless.
All those present were eighth-grade alchemists, each of them possessing a powerful soul. Naturally, they were aware of every move going on around them, so they could see every little movement of the two little guys clearly.
However, they would not argue with children, so they just laughed it off.
However, the ancestor of the Cao family felt a little unhappy when he saw that his own Xiao Baicai actually behaved like that towards the boy from the Ye family.
Danta's soul control assessment is also very simple. It is to use a small black soul-testing ball made of soul steel to drop from the sky. Without using fighting spirit, only the soul power is used to support it. Afterwards, whoever catches the most soul-testing beads will be the best in this assessment, and so on to evaluate the ranking.
However, this round only ranks the competitors, with no eliminations. After the final round of the flame manipulation test, the combined rankings will be used to determine the top five candidates, who will receive the five spots this time...
