"The first test is a test of strength. There are four Strength Measuring Stone Tablets here, I believe you have already seen them. Later, when a number is read, the martial artist with the number tag will step forward to take the test. Martial artists with a strength of over a thousand pounds pass, those with less than a thousand pounds will be eliminated!"
"However, this is only the first test. There are still other tests after this. The final result will be determined by the total score of all the tests."
Elder Sun's words caused an uproar among the crowd. The test actually required a strength of a thousand pounds. A strength of a thousand pounds, except for those with special physiques, one had to at least be at the third rank of the Body Refinement Realm.
In the previous tests, the first test only required a strength of seven or eight hundred pounds. Some of the second rank of the Body Refinement Realm martial artists could barely make it. But now, it could be said that even the second rank of the Body Refinement Realm martial artists had no hope.
It could be seen that among the crowd, many of the martial artists' faces darkened. Most of them were at the second rank of the Body Refinement Realm.
However, Elder Sun did not care about their feelings and continued: "The rewards for this test are also quite generous. Everyone who successfully passes the test and becomes an outer sect disciple of the Wind Sword School will be rewarded with a Bone Tempering Pill! The top twenty martial artists will be rewarded with a Muscle Tendon Changing Pill! The top ten martial artists will directly enter the inner sect of the Wind Sword School. The top three will be rewarded separately! "
After Elder Sun announced the rewards, many martial artists' eyes lit up. Although the difficulty of this test was unprecedented, the rewards were also the highest in history.
They did not dare to hope for more, but as long as they could become an outer sect disciple, they would be rewarded with a Bone Tempering Pill. For a third rank of the Body Refinement Realm martial artist, a Bone Tempering Pill could greatly increase their chances of advancing to the fourth rank of the Body Refinement Realm.
Scanning the crowd, seeing that all the martial artists were eager to try, Elder Sun did not say anything more. He slightly nodded and said: "Now, let the test begin!"
At this time, next to each of the four Strength Measuring Stone Tablets stood an examiner responsible for the test. These people were all the attendants of the Wind Sword School. After receiving Elder Sun's order, these attendants immediately began the test. Everyone held a name list and began to call names.
As the numbers were read out one by one, more and more warriors walked out and headed to the corresponding Strength Measuring Stone Stele. They rubbed their fists and started to take the test.
Lu Xuan's gaze fell on the warrior who was the first to step into the arena. He saw that warrior move his body slightly before smashing his fist on the stone tablet.
As the punch landed, a crystal pillar on the Strength Measuring Stone Stele rose rapidly. Finally, it stopped when it was close to 500 kilograms.
The deacon next to him took a look and said, "950 Jin. Unqualified. You have two more chances."
The cultivator's face turned red. He hurriedly circulated his Qi and punched out again.
"Nine hundred Jin. Unqualified. You still have one more chance."
"Nine hundred Jin. Unqualified. Eliminated. Next!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the deacon erased the martial artist's information from the name list. He had failed the first test, so he had no fate with the rest of the assessment.
After failing three times in a row, this martial artist could only dejectedly leave. Soon, another martial artist stepped forward.
"Eight hundred Jin, eight hundred and fifty Jin, eight hundred and fifty Jin, eliminated, next!"
…
"950 Jin. One thousand Jin. Qualified!"
After watching several martial artists take the test, Lu Xuan finally saw a qualified martial artist. When he heard the deacon say that he had passed, the martial artist immediately shouted in excitement. Even though he had just reached the standard, compared to those who could not even pass the first round, he was already much stronger.
Looking at everyone taking the test, Lu Xuan saw a few familiar faces. The warrior with the axe on his back and the swordsman with the surname Feng, who had been walking in front of him, both passed the test. The two of them had hit a weight of 1,300 catties and 1,400 catties respectively.
The swordsman with the surname Feng was at the peak of the 3rd level of Body Refinement. Hitting 1400 Jin was not surprising. However, the martial artist with the axe on his back had just entered the 3rd level of Body Refinement. For him to be able to hit 1300 Jin was completely out of Lu Xuan's expectations. Presumably, this person was born with an extraordinary physique. His strength was not ordinary. Just by looking at the large axe on his back, one could tell a thing or two.
"Number 332, Xia Ye." The deacon once again reported a number. The crowd immediately became restless.
"Xia Ye, isn't he the genius who is known to be second only to Miss Chenxi in Lin City?"
"Yeah, he seems to be only 18 years old. I heard that he had already entered the 5th level of Body Refinement two months ago. An 18 year old at the 5th level of Body Refinement, this is a powerful person. I think the first place of this test will belong to no one but him!"
"Sigh, comparisons are odious. His family background is good and his aptitude is also good. I am already satisfied to be able to enter the Outer Sect …"
Listening to the discussions of the surrounding martial artists, Lu Xuan finally understood the identity of this Xia Ye. An 18 year old at the 5th level of Body Refinement. In Lin City, he could be considered a top figure. Moreover, he had also heard of the Xia Clan's reputation in Lin City.
Soon, an extremely handsome young man wearing embroidered clothes and carrying a long sword on his back walked out from the crowd. Obviously, he was Xia Ye.
At this moment, the deacon in charge of the Strength Measuring Stone Tablet also reported a number.
"Number 650, Longtai."
Lu Xuan's heart skipped a beat. Longtai!
Hearing Longtai's name, Xia Ye, who was about to take the test, unexpectedly stopped and looked toward the crowd.
The crowd once again became restless. Ryūka's servants led the way in front. Longtai, whom Lu Xuan had been thinking about day and night, finally appeared in front of him.
Longtai was also dressed in luxurious clothes, but he did not carry any weapons. His expression was very calm and he did not look like a hedonistic son of a rich family. However, his actions in Qingshan Town were no less than that.
Lu Xuan's gaze was fixed on him. He actually dared to target his own sister. One day, he would ruthlessly trample Longtai under his feet!
"Haha, Longtai, I didn't expect you and I to take the test together. That's just right, let everyone see whether the number one genius of Lin City is you, Longtai, or I, Xia Ye!" Xia Ye stood in the middle of the field and said while staring at Longtai.
Facing Xia Ye's provocation, Longtai appeared very calm. As he walked forward, he slowly said: "The number one genius of Lin City is neither you nor me. Naturally, it is Miss Chenxi."
After saying this, Longtai appeared very humble and slightly cupped his fists toward Xia Chenxi at the judging panel. If one did not know Longtai's character, ordinary people would probably be deceived by Longtai's behavior.
"Who is this person? Longtai, I don't think I've heard of him? "
"I do know this. He is from Qingshan Town's Ryūka clan. It is said that he has reached the fifth level of Body Refinement and is also the number one strong person. This time, it is estimated that he and Xia Ye will fight for the first place."
"Bah! He wants to touch Miss Chenxi? Why doesn't he take a piss and look at himself! " Yao Lei spat fiercely. "Xuan, later you must ruthlessly step on this guy. Then, the first place will definitely belong to you!"
