In the first round, twenty people would be tested together. Those who passed the test would stand on the right side and wait to challenge the Mu Ren Gang, while those who failed would have to leave.
Last time, Ye Chen only lasted for three breaths before he was injured.
The test began!
Surprisingly, Wang Gang was among the first twenty people. With his Peak of Mortal Realm Stage 7 cultivation, he should be able to defeat the wooden guardian. At least he wouldn't be killed instantly, which would be a joke.
The wooden guardian sensed that someone was approaching, so it moved its heavy body and threw a punch towards Wang Gang. The strong wind from the punch blew his hair into the air.
Speed was not Wang Gang's forte, so he quickly crossed his arms and blocked the wooden guardian's punch. His body was pushed back three steps.
"Stone Breaking Strike!"
After taking three steps back, Wang Gang jumped up, raised his right palm and chopped towards the wooden guardian's head.
Bang!
The wooden guardian's senses were indeed sharp. It blocked Wang Gang's deadly attack with its arms, then punched again with its left hand. The speed of the punch was so fast that it was hard for anyone to react.
"Damn, the wooden guardian is so fierce!" Some of the outer disciples who had just joined the Sky Cloud Martial School couldn't help but exclaim. Even Ye Chen couldn't help but admire the wooden guardian's power. There was no sign of life, but its movements were steady and powerful.
All of a sudden, Wang Gang bent his left leg and used his knee to block the wooden guardian's second attack. He used the force to fly back and landed five steps away.
After getting some distance from the wooden guardian, Wang Gang knew that he couldn't beat it with brute force, so he had to surprise it.
"Double Dragon Goes to Sea!"
Seeing the wooden guardian chasing after him, Wang Gang gave up on using his Stone Breaking Strike and used the Crouching Dragon Fist that he wasn't familiar with yet. He twisted his arms, and like two evil dragons, he dashed out.
Crack!
The wooden guardian's fist was locked.
Wang Gang shouted coldly. He used both of his arms to block the opponent's fist, then threw out a flying kick.
"Meteor Kick!"
Boom!
With a powerful kick, the wooden guardian fell to the ground. The examiner next to him immediately yelled: "Pass!"
Different from here, the word "fail" could be heard from other places.
Soon, the first group of twenty people finished their tests. Only four people passed, and the rest were all eliminated. They had no choice but to leave the square.
As for the wooden guards, it was unknown what kind of wood they were made of, but they were basically unharmed. Fortunately, as long as they were defeated, they would pass the test. Otherwise, they would be exhausted to death.
Not long after, the second test also ended, and only one person passed.
Five people from the third group passed.
Three people from the fourth group passed.
No one in the fifth group passed.
…
In the 120th group, Wu Zongming and Zhang Haoran stepped out at the same time. The two of them looked at each other and walked up to the stage indifferently.
Facing the wooden guardian in front of them, the two of them attacked almost at the same time.
Wu Zongming's figure flashed, and like a ghost, he appeared in the arms of the wooden guardian. His right palm instantly pressed against the wooden guardian's chest, and with a ferocious shake, the wooden guardian was sent flying like a piece of straw. A clear palm print was left on the wooden guardian's chest, and it could be seen how pure this palm strike was.
As for Zhang Haoran, he was even more terrifying. He stretched out his body and directly ignored the distance of ten meters between them. In the blink of an eye, he stretched out his five fingers and grabbed the wooden guardian's head. Then, he stopped in his tracks and swung his arm.
The wooden guardian was thrown more than ten meters away.
"Damn, he killed the wooden guardian in one second."
Everyone's eyes were wide open, and they could not believe what they had just seen. Wu Zongming's performance was already amazing enough, and he had sent the wooden guardian flying with one palm strike. However, Zhang Haoran seemed to be even better. In front of him, the wooden guardian was like a child that had not yet learned how to walk.
In the 123rd group, Ye Chen stepped onto the stage.
Without the speed of Wu Zongming and Zhang Haoran, Ye Chen only had the exquisiteness of his movements. With just a few punches and kicks, he had defeated the wooden guardian and successfully passed the stage.
When the first round of the test ended, Elder Lin stood up and said, "A total of three hundred and sixty-five people have passed. The second round will now begin. Now, everyone will enter the Mu Ren Gang."
"Haoran, you said you could help me get the third place, right?" Standing next to Zhang Haoran was a tall teenager, about fifteen years old. At this moment, his breathing had quickened, and he could not help but ask.
Zhang Haoran did not care and said, "Cousin, don't worry. With your strength, it is not difficult to pass the Mu Ren Gang. What is difficult is to get the first place, and I will stop the others at the right time."
"That's great!" It turned out that this teenager was Zhang Haoran's cousin, who had joined the Sky Cloud Martial School before Zhang Haoran. He had also participated in the Mu Ren Gang competition before, but he was only in the thirties, far away from the top ten, not to mention the third place. This time, if he could get the third place, he would definitely get a High Rank Mortal Realm martial art manual, a High Rank Mortal Realm Martial Skill manual, and three Windy Dew pellets, which would be enough for him to reach the Condensing Reality Realm.
At this moment, Zhang Haoran changed his tone, "But I can't go too far, you know the rules of the Sky Cloud Martial School."
"I know, don't worry. Even without your help, I am confident that I can get into the top ten."
"Good, let's go in!"
The Mu Ren Gang was like a bottle gourd, the entrance was very narrow, and could only fit five people side by side. Once inside, the space suddenly opened up, and there were ten different alleys.
Three hundred and sixty-five people were divided into ten groups, and they all chose different alleys to enter.
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
In the alley that Ye Chen had chosen, the walls and the ground on both sides suddenly cracked open, and a group of wooden guards and wooden sword artists jumped out. They cut down five to six people like a tornado, and screams were heard one after another.
Dodging the attack of a wooden sword artist, Ye Chen took out his great steel sword from the scabbard and cut the wooden sword in half. Then, he lowered his body and went through the wooden sword in an instant.
"That was close, luckily we were not in the crowd, otherwise there would be no space to dodge at all."
As they moved forward, the number of people became fewer and fewer. From the original thirty to forty people, there were only twenty people left, and five more alleys appeared in front of them, each with four or five people choosing the same alleys to move forward.
On the other side, Zhang Haoran's feet flashed, and his clothes fluttered in the wind. All of the wooden guards and sword artists could not lock on to him. Occasionally, there would be three or four wooden guards in front of him, but they would also be blown away by his palm.
The space became narrow, and Zhang Haoran stopped and thought, 'The place in front is the place with the most wooden guards. When everyone comes here, I can secretly trip them up and make them hesitate. That way, my cousin will be able to get the third place easily.'
As for the first place, Zhang Haoran thought that it would be a piece of cake. Even Wu Zongming was not qualified to compete with him, which was why he wanted to help his cousin. Plus, this was the only way to the finish line, even if someone could threaten him, he would have the chance to take action.
