Under the scorching sun, in front of the mountain gate, an old man was facing a group of teenagers and girls, holding a slightly shiny square rectangular stone in his hand.

"Xia Chen, the qualification test result is unqualified!" The old man put the rectangular stone on the abdomen of an ordinary boy, took it away after a moment, took a look, and shouted coldly.

The young man Xia Chen's eyes dimmed slightly, but then he regained his composure. Without saying a word, he turned around and walked down the mountain.

"Don't come here anymore." The old man frowned and said, "Your qualifications are that of an ordinary mortal. It is impossible to pass the practice test. This cannot be changed by time. It has been five years. Why don't you have self-awareness?"

"Thank you, Senior Brother Qi, for your advice, but ordinary mortals may not be unable to practice. I will not give up." Xia Chen's tone was calm, but as unshakable as steel.

Senior Brother Qi sneered: "You have no qualifications. No matter how hard you persist, it will be a waste of time. How can a mortal still want to practice? It's ridiculous. Go away quickly. Don't let me see you again next time."

Xia Chen's expression changed: "You don't have to look down on me. I have no qualifications, but don't forget that the most important thing about cultivation is opportunity, the second is perseverance, and the last and least important is qualification. One day, I will become a practitioner."

"Bah, what the hell are you still dreaming about opportunities? A guy like you will never be able to become a practitioner in your life." Senior Brother Qi's face turned blue.

The boys and girls looked at Xia Chen's back, cast strange looks and whispered to each other.

"A peripheral servant also wants to become an inner disciple of the Zhengxuan Sect? He really overestimates his abilities!"

"That's right, Senior Brother Qi said he was unqualified and he still dared to talk back. This guy really doesn't know what's good or bad."

"Mortals are like this. They have no self-awareness, but they still want to have the dream of practicing, haha."

"I heard that this handyman has participated in the selection of inner disciples of the Zhengxuan Sect for five consecutive years. He is really perseverant. Unfortunately, he is destined to have no hope. He still tries even though he knows there is no hope. It is not only sad, but also stupid!"

Arriving at the foot of the mountain, Xia Chen looked at the rolling Zhengxuan Mountains and was slightly lost in thought.

Others' ridicule and blows are just floating clouds to Xia Chen, which cannot stir up any ripples at all. Five years of unremitting cultivation have already made Xia Chen's mind as iron as iron and his will as steel.

No one knows that Xia Chen does not belong to this world, but is an ordinary boy who traveled from the earth.After learning that there were practitioners and sects of practice in other worlds, Xia Chen developed a great desire for practice.

Practitioners, also known as monks, possess incredible supernatural powers and are transcendent beings that are beyond the reach of ordinary people in the world.

The Zhengxuan Sect is one of the seven major cultivation sects in the Liang Kingdom in a different world, and Xia Chen is one of the peripheral servants of the Zhengxuan Sect.

The so-called handymen are mortals who serve the practitioners and do chores for the sect.

In addition to being able to obtain the necessities of life as a handyman, the biggest benefit is that you can practice Qi and superficial skills, and then have the opportunity to participate in the selection of inner disciples of the Zhengxuan Sect. If you are lucky enough to practice Qi sensing within three years, you will jump over the dragon gate and become an inner disciple.

Qi induction is the first step in a practitioner's practice. Through breathing, Qi is generated in the Dantian of the lower abdomen.As long as you meet the qualifications, you can practice Qi Sensing within three years. If you don't have any Qi Sensing after more than three years, it means that you have no chance of practicing and are just the most ordinary ordinary people.

Of course, most people are ordinary people, and so is Xia Chen, so they have never been able to cultivate Qi sensing.But when others had given up, Xia Chen always persisted.

After a while, Xia Chenmo sat on a rock, got rid of all distracting thoughts in his mind, and began to breathe.Over the past five years, Xia Chen has done this action countless times and has become very familiar with it, but he has never felt the true energy once.

After a long time of luck, Xia Chen opened his eyes and sighed slightly. This time there was no suspense, it was still a failure.

He stopped practicing and walked towards the foot of the mountain.

In the distance, a village appeared in front of them, which was where the peripheral servants of the Zhengxuan Sect lived.

Xia Chen walked to a simple and elegant courtyard and knocked lightly on the door.

"Who?" A playful voice sounded in the room.

The door opened, and what appeared in front of Xia Chen was a beautiful girl with fair complexion and a slim figure.

This beautiful girl's name is Lin Mengru, and she is Xia Chen's girlfriend.

"Xia Chen, why are you here?" Lin Mengru's expression changed slightly when he saw Xia Chen, but he did not smile.

"Oh..." Lin Mengru hesitated slightly, "Xia Chen, you came just in time. I have something to say to you."

Lin Mengru walked to the middle of the yard, turned her back to him, and said slowly after a while: "You didn't pass the test, right?"

"No." Xia Chen shook his head and said, "But it doesn't matter. I will continue to persist. You don't need to comfort me."

"I didn't want to comfort you, Xia Chen, do you think your persistence is still meaningful?" Lin Mengru suddenly sighed, turned around and looked at him.

"What do you mean by this?" Xia Chen was shocked.

Lin Mengru looked at him with pity: "Xia Chen, you are just a mortal and have no cultivation qualifications. Why do you still do hopeless things? I feel like I don't understand you!"

Xia Chen's expression changed: "Is this what you want to tell me?"

"Xia Chen..." Lin Mengru's expression was complicated, he hesitated to speak, and then said after a while, "You are destined to fail in cultivation. I feel that the distance between us is getting farther and farther. It is not suitable for us to be together, so we should separate."

There was a buzz in Xia Chen's head, like a slap in the face.His eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Lin Mengru, saying word by word: "Just because I am a mortal and cannot become a practitioner, you are going to break up with me?"

Lin Mengru said lightly: "Yes, look at you, you are useless. Am I going to live with a handyman in this life?"

Useless... Xia Chen's heart twitched. He looked at Lin Mengru and felt for the first time that his former gentle and lovely girlfriend was so strange.

"Lin Mengru, how do I treat you? You know it in your heart! You said that I am good to you and that you will love me forever. How come I am useless in your eyes now?" Xia Chen gritted his teeth.

Lin Mengru's expression changed: "You are good to me, so I should be grateful to you? Do you know that you should be good to me? There are many people waiting in line to be good to me. Who do you think you are!"

Xia Chen's chest felt as if it was going to explode: "So my kindness to you is worthless in your eyes!"

Lin Mengru glanced at him with disgust: "Xia Chen, I hate how you behave like this. It seems like everyone owes you. You are destined to have no future in this life."

"Haha..." Xia Chen was stunned, and then laughed miserably for a while: "Lin Mengru, I want to ask you, have you ever loved me? Since you despise me as a handyman, why did you still stay with me before?"

Lin Mengru sneered: "I was with you before because I thought you could enter the Zhengxuan Sect and become an inner disciple. But you have not succeeded in the test for five consecutive years. Your life is over. Do I still want to bet my youth on you? Xia Chen, your persistence has indeed moved me, but now in the eyes of many people, including me, you are just a joke!"

Xia Chen was trembling all over, and his heart felt like thousands of needles were pricking him. Suddenly, he seemed to understand something, and said loudly: "Lin Mengru, this doesn't sound like your tone. Someone deliberately taught you to say this to hurt me, right? Don't make any excuses, it's just that you're in love with someone else, right?"

Lin Mengru's expression changed, her shoulders trembled, and she took two steps back involuntarily.

Suddenly, a cold man's voice came from the house: "Xia Chen, you despicable thing, how dare you speak to my Mengru like this? Are you looking for death?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall, handsome young man walked out of the house.

"Yan Bing, it's you." Xia Chen's blood instantly rushed to his head.

Yan Bing is also a handyman and Xia Chen's love rival. He has been pursuing Lin Mengru. The two have never dealt with each other and are hostile to each other.

However, in yesterday's selection, Yan Bing passed the test and became an inner disciple of the Zhengxuan Sect. That meant he was superior and not on the same level as Xia Chen.

"Xia Chen, you poor thing." Yan Bing smiled like a winner and held Lin Mengru's shoulders intimately, "I am already a disciple of the Zhengxuan sect, and you still want to snatch Mengru from me. Are you worthy? You have no future and no ability. You were born to be a handyman. How about it? Doesn't it feel good to be cuckolded by me?"

Lin Mengru's face turned red. She didn't want to be so affectionate with Yan Bing in front of Xia Chen, but she couldn't resist, so she just lowered her head and remained silent.

Xia Chen was so filled with hatred that he dug his nails into his palms and gritted his teeth and said, "Then I would like to congratulate you, Yan Bing, for accepting my second-hand goods. And let me tell you, since she is only looking for you for her future, when someone stronger than you appears, you will be abandoned sooner or later."

Yan Bing's smile froze on his face. He didn't expect that after becoming a disciple of the Zhengxuan Sect, Xia Chen would still be so tough and said angrily: "You dare to talk to me like this? You still want to alienate the relationship between me and Meng Ru. If I don't teach you a lesson, you really don't know the difference between you and me."

He let go of Lin Mengru, rushed forward, and punched Xia Chen.

Xia Chen raised his hand to fight off. They were both handymen and had learned some rudimentary boxing and kicking skills. However, Yan Bing had developed Qi sensing and was stronger than Xia Chen. After a few rounds, he kicked Xia Chen to the ground.

Yan Bing kicked Xia Chen hard and said with a cruel smile: "Poor fellow, do you still think this is the past? Do you know that if I step on you to death now, it will be like trampling to death an ant, you piece of trash?"

His face was ferocious, and he used almost all his strength with his feet, wanting to kick Xia Chen to death.

"Yan Bing, don't hit him." Lin Mengru looked pitiful and sighed, "I will have nothing to do with him in the future. Besides, you are about to join the Zhengxuan Sect, so there is no need to be as knowledgeable as him."

Yan Bing kicked Xia Chen hard and shouted: "For Mengru's sake, I'll let you go. You despicable thing, get out of here."

Xia Chen struggled to stand up. His whole body was covered with dust, his face was bruised and bruised from the kick, and a long line of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

After adjusting his clothes, Xia Chen suddenly became calmer than ever before and said in a cold voice: "Yan Bing, Lin Mengru, I have nothing to say today, but one day, I want you to repay a hundred times what you did to me."

Dare you threaten?You despicable thing, I won't let you even become a handyman... Yan Bing looked at Xia Chen's back angrily, with a fierce light in his eyes.
