26 Three principles
"Speaking of this, I basically know all the candidates with a soul value of 99 in Donghua City." Jing Xiu looked at Zhou Bai curiously: "Why don't I know you? Are you new to Donghua City?"
Zhou Bai nodded: "I was a survivor in the wild before and was rescued by the rescue team not long ago."
Jing Xiu looked at Zhou Bai in surprise: "In the wild? Are there survivors in the wild now?"
The next moment she covered her mouth with embarrassment: "I'm sorry, but since you can survive in the wild, in terms of willpower, I'm afraid that no one else can compare to you except the monster Zuo Dao."
As she said that, her eyes looked at Zhou Bai full of admiration.
Zhou Bai grabbed the back of his head embarrassedly: "There is nothing, it's all luck."
Just as Zhou Bai and Jingxiu were talking, a young teacher floated on everyone's heads, looked at the candidates in front of him and said, "Hello, everyone, I am the invigilator of your exam and the teacher of the new Taoist school students in the future, Lu Chongyang.
You are all people who have the hope of entering the Tao and aim to practice Taoism.
Then you should all know that a hundred years ago, my great monk from Donghua University, Qingjing Sanren proposed the three major codes of practice, and then it was widely adopted, becoming the consensus of all monks in the entire world of practice. In any case, do not violate these three major codes."
The young teacher said with a solemn expression: "First, don't face the way of heaven."
"Second, the soul must not leave the body."
"Third, don't be greedy for merit and make progress."
"Only by the three principles of practicing Taoism can we go further on the road to seeking Taoism, and only then can human monks maintain their current number and avoid madness and distortion."
"And what you need to follow the three major rules of practicing Taoism is strong will and incomparable self-discipline. Therefore, the introductory test of my Donghua Taoism School will test the will of the candidates every year to test whether they can withstand the difficulties on the road of practicing Taoism."
The students around them held their breath and stood spontaneously, listening quietly to Lu Chongyang's speech, which seemed very disciplined.
Some people nodded from time to time and agreed with what Lu Chongyang said.
After Christina was taken into Zhou Bai's mind, she kept talking in anger. After hearing the three rules of practice, she suddenly nodded: "This is very familiar. Did I say it before?"
Zhou Bai rolled his eyes: "What the ancients said a hundred years ago has to do with you."
"At this moment, the remaining 12,000 candidates today are divided into 4 examination rooms, and the next second round of tests are carried out simultaneously." As Lu Chongyang spoke, he pinched the seals and saw blue light flashing under everyone's feet. The light gathered into lines, forming a broad circular runway, which is three or four kilometers long.
"This round of test is running." Lu Chongyang said: "But it is not ordinary running. This circular track with a total length of four kilometers is the latest cultivation magic weapon refined by our school, the Heavenly Road."
"What you need to run on this road is not only the strength of the body, but also the strength of will.
Because every step you take on this will lead to inspiration, running on it will not only cause physical fatigue, but also mental fatigue will be fast. If you don’t have strong will, you will run slower and slower, which is ten times more difficult than ordinary running."
"You candidates who have not yet entered the Tao have not strengthened their bodies and have the power of the soul. In this exam, you are only allowed to use physical strength and do not use the power of the soul to assist in running.
So if you want to continue running on the road of heaven, what you need is a firm will. The stronger the will, the longer you can run on the road of heaven and faster."
Lu Chongyang paused, gave the candidates some time to think about it, and then said: "But inspiration will not only bring unnecessary fatigue, but it can also help you to vent your inspiration and increase your soul power while running.
The stronger the willpower, the faster the run and the farther the run. People with strong willpower can increase the power of their souls faster through exercise on the road of heaven."
When many candidates heard Lu Chongyang's introduction, they looked surprised and looked at the Tianlu runway in front of them, and a hint of eagerness flashed across their faces.
Those who come to participate in the Donghua Dao School entrance examination and have passed the first round naturally have confidence in their talents and will. Faced with this Tianlu runway, they naturally want to try to enhance the power of the soul by running.
However, when he heard Lu Chongyang's introduction, Christina in Zhou Bai's head chuckled, then immediately raised her cat's claws and covered her mouth.
Zhou Bai frowned and said to her in his heart: "What's wrong?"
Christina swung her paws: "Nothing is nothing."
At this moment, Lu Chongyang continued: "So this round of exams is for everyone to run on the road this day. Starting from the fifth minute, people who cannot run are eliminated at any time and anywhere. Every 5 seconds, I will eliminate the slowest running person on the scene.
They were eliminated until the last three hundred people, and these three hundred people were the strongest will present and the ones who passed this test.”
When everyone present suddenly became nervous when they heard what Lu Chongyang said.
There are 12,000 passers in the first round, divided into 4 venue exams, which means 3,000 people per game and 300 remaining people pass, which is a one-tenth pass rate.
This is lower than in previous years' pass rate.
Many candidates couldn't help but think of some rumors in their minds. It seemed that the situation was difficult and the human race was in short supply year by year.
Next, Lu Chongyang's thoughts moved, and the power of his soul spread from his consciousness to the real world. He rolled up the wristbands he had prepared long ago, and each fell accurately into the hands of everyone present.
"What a strong power of the soul." Zhou Baixin said: "And accurately rolled up 3,000 wristbands and put them in front of everyone. This kind of manipulation power is also very terrifying."
Lu Chongyang continued: "This wristband will record your speed. After five minutes, every five seconds, the slowest wristband will turn red, which means he has been eliminated. If you can't run and stop, it will turn red, which means you will be eliminated.
Wear wristbands and do some exercise.”
A few minutes later, three thousand candidates set out from the starting point and started the second round of tests.
Zhou Bai ran with Jing Xiu. After a few steps, he began to feel a continuous stream of force attached to his body and spirit, making him feel ten times tired every time he moved.
It is not only physical fatigue, but also mental fatigue.
Like everyone, everyone was running at the slowest speed in the first five minutes to save energy.
But even so, after running for a minute, Zhou Bai had already started to breathe.
Since he became young, his body has been very healthy. His physical fitness can be considered excellent in the past society and is the best among his peers.
But now he has not been running for a minute, and he feels that he is struggling and persevering with his will.
"Damn... I'm so tired... I can't hold on..." Zhou Bai looked up and found that most of the candidates around him were like this. He looked panting, sweating, and could not hold on.
