I Just Want to Live Well but Surpassed the Protagonist – 39 First Meeting with the Protagonist
After chatting with Qin Shimeng for a while, more and more cultivators came up the mountain, and some of them were quite embarrassed. Obviously, the assessment to go up the mountain is not easy.
Ye Yong has read the novel and knows the content of the assessment. Anyway, out of hundreds of thousands of people, only tens of thousands can pass this initial assessment. After that, the number of people will drop sharply when they start the formal assessment with the cultivators of their big families, and in the end, there will be less than 10,000 people left.
Tianluo Sect only accepts elites and malleable talents. It is not afraid of not being able to recruit disciples, but afraid of unqualified. This is how confident a top sect is.
Qin Shimeng began to wear a veil when she saw more people coming.
Basically, the younger generation of big families know and have seen her, but those casual cultivators and cultivators from small and medium-sized families may not.
Qin Shimeng is not pretending to be aloof, she simply does not want to affect the assessment of those cultivators with poor concentration.
She is not conceited, but she is also aware of how high her appearance is.
At this moment, Ye Yong didn’t have the thoughts to chat with Qin Shimeng anymore. He observed the crowd, trying to find a guy with ordinary looks, but gave him the basic instinct to find him in trouble.
That’s right, it’s the protagonist Long Tian.
According to the development of the novel’s story line, on the day of the assessment, ‘Ye Yong’ began to target Long Tian, and would ask some cultivators to kill him on the way up the mountain, causing Long Tian to be entangled in trouble and pinched the point to go up the mountain, almost losing his qualification.

In reality, Ye Yong didn’t ask anyone to make things difficult for Long Tian at all, so logically speaking, he should have come up.
He scanned around, but he didn’t see any very flat guys.
Even if no one makes things difficult for the protagonist, the protagonist still has to appear at the very end? Ye Yong was completely perplexed.
However, no sooner had he said it than Cao Cao arrived.
Very quickly, Ye Yong saw a young man wearing ordinary clean clothes who was panting slightly, but in good condition, entered the assessment grounds.
Even though it was the first time he had seen him, Ye Yong immediately recognized the other party.
The protagonist, Long Tian!
Long Tian hadn’t arrived at the crucial moment like in the novel, but he had encountered some trouble and taken some time.
On his way up the mountain, he had been entangled by a small sect.
It turned out that the few bandits he had killed outside the city were members of a certain small sect. Although the sect was small, it also had face. It definitely had to find a way to get back at Long Tian, so on his way Up the mountain, Long Tian had to avoid the small sect’s attacks while also avoiding traps.
Fortunately, the other party was only a small sect, and the strongest was only at the tenth level of Foundation Establishment. Long Tian was able to handle it. If it had been a Crystallization cultivator, Long Tian felt that he would most likely be late .
Sensing that someone was looking at him, Long Tian followed the gaze and saw a handsome man with a graceful demeanor looking at him from the pavilion on the spiritual energy flying ship.
Long Tian had never seen the other party before, and he wondered why the other party would pay attention to him, because he was not outstanding among all the cultivators who had come to participate in the assessment.
Ye Yong didn’t expect that Long Tian would discover him from such a distance. The protagonist is the protagonist. Ye Yong smiled gently at him and quickly retracted his gaze.
‘Alright, now I know what Long Tian looks like. As expected, he’s very ordinary, but there’s a faint urge to find trouble with him.’
If Ye Yong remembered correctly, during the period from the assessment to joining the sect, the people on his side would not have any contact with him. However, after joining the sect, it would be different. First, there was Ye Mao, who would face Long Tian in a competition and suffer a disastrous defeat, causing him to bear a grudge. It just so happened that the narrow-minded ‘Ye Yong’ also wanted to mess with Long Tian, so the two of them hit it off and plotted to harm Long Tian together.
Next was Ye Gou, who, like Ye Mao, joined the same hall as Long Tian, the Sword Pavilion Hall. Although it was impossible for Ye Yong to let Ye Gou assassinate Long Tian during the exploration of the secret realm, it didn’t mean that Ye Gou wouldn’t be attracted to Long Tian’s inherently mocking face and take the initiative to cause trouble. Therefore, Ye Yong would later find Ye Gou and tell him not to provoke Long Tian no matter what.
Qin Shimeng would also join the Sword Pavilion Hall. However, Ye Mao and Ye Gou were first-class disciples, while Long Tian was an ordinary disciple, and Qin Shimeng would directly become a true disciple of an elder. There would be no intersection between them for the time being.
As for Ye Yong himself, according to the original novel’s plot development, he would also join the Sword Pavilion Hall, but in reality, he had to conquer other female characters, so he wouldn’t go to the Sword Pavilion Hall at all.
In summary, the biggest problem was Ye Mao. Ye Yong could warn Ye Gou in advance, but Ye Mao would lose to Long Tian in a hall competition in the future. Even if Ye Yong warned him, he definitely wouldn’t be able to swallow his anger. Because he was a young master of the Ye family, and Long Tian was just an unknown casual cultivator, with Ye Mao’s personality, he would definitely find a way to find trouble with Long Tian.
What a headache.
Ye Yong rubbed his temples. Forget it, when the time comes, he would put loyalty before family and beat Ye Mao up first. He would transfer Ye Mao’s hatred for Long Tian to himself. This way, he would be worthy of his role as the leader and worthy of his family. He would avoid the deterioration of the relationship between the Ye family and Long Tian, and Ye Mao wouldn’t have to die.
With a rough idea in mind, Ye Yong looked at Ye Mao as if he was looking at a cripple.
Ye Mao was originally peeking at Qin Shimeng, but when he found Ye Yong suddenly staring at him, that gaze seemed very dangerous, and he couldn’t help but shiver.
Don’t look at the fact that he was 2 years older than Ye Yong, but his cultivation and talent were both inferior to Ye Yong’s. He was still very afraid of Ye Yong.
Qin Shimeng isn’t your woman, so what’s wrong with me looking at her twice? Is it necessary to show such a gaze? Don’t others look at her too? Why don’t you stare at others and only stare at me?
Ye Mao felt that Ye Yong was targeting him.

The Tianluo Sect’s entrance assessment officially began.
The first stage was to have the cultivators attack a certain type of stone without using spiritual energy. As long as the stone fell, they would pass. They had three chances. If they couldn’t knock it down after three tries, they would be eliminated.
Tens of thousands of people were divided into hundreds of groups according to their realm. Everyone attacked the stone one after another, three times each. Some people passed after one try, and the progress was quite fast.
This stage mainly tested the cultivators’ physical strength. This stage alone eliminated one-third of the participants.
After all, many cultivators relied on their spiritual energy to bully martial artists, and they didn’t pay much attention to their physical strength, so they failed.
The second stage changed the stone, and they could use spiritual energy. This stage tested the cultivator’s spiritual energy intensity.
Basically, a three-colored Foundation Establishment cultivator could pass steadily.
If one didn’t even have a three-colored Foundation Establishment, why would they enter the Tianluo Sect? Turn right when you leave, the Tianluo Sect welcomes you.
As for Qi Condensation cultivators who didn’t have spiritual energy, it didn’t matter. There was a special stone that tested the intensity of their true energy. In any case, the Tianluo Sect was very well prepared.
The third stage tested spiritual roots.
This stage was amazing. It could be said to be a stage to flaunt one’s talent in front of everyone.
Just imagine, in front of everyone’s eyes, an extreme spiritual root would emit a dazzling light. How could it not attract envy and jealousy?
Of course, if one’s spiritual root was too bad, it would be equivalent to embarrassing oneself in front of everyone.
After three stages, tens of thousands of people were reduced to less than ten thousand.
It’s almost certain that these people will be able to join the Tianluo Sect as new disciples. However, there is still one last hurdle: testing their cultivation.
This test not only examines their true cultivation, but it can also test the stability of their foundation and whether their cultivation has been inflated. When it came to this stage, many people from large families couldn’t help but look at Qin Shimeng.
Whether she is a true phoenix or a pheasant pretending to be a phoenix with a chicken’s tail will soon be revealed.
