The iron gate opened, and a majestic shadow with an extremely oppressive aura walked out.
Moo!
The black shadow roared into the sky. It was a demonic bull covered in black armor, with two horns that looked like sharp blades. The demonic bull was two and a half meters tall, its eyes were as big as bells, and its nose was blowing out a whirlwind like air. Its hooves had sharp claws that were curved like blades, shining with a cold light.
"The Black Shell Bull is the most powerful beast among the three. It was born with great strength, and its defense is extremely high. It will be very hard to beat it."
"I think it can only last for another thirty minutes."
Obviously, the crowd did not think that Ye Chen could beat the Black Shell Bull. After all, even some of the inner disciples could not break through the Black Shell Bull's defense in a short time, not to mention Ye Chen who had just reached the Condensing Reality Realm.
Different from the Iron Claw Demonic Wolf and the Blood Pattern Bear, the Black Shell Bull did not attack immediately. It kept its right hooves on the ground, and stared at Ye Chen with its bell-sized eyes. It lowered its body slightly.
Tat tat tat tat …
After charging up, the Black Shell Bull's body suddenly emitted a dark gray Demonic Qi. The dense Demonic Qi covered it completely, only revealing its two bloody red eyes. Then it started to move its hooves, and with a horrifying pressure, it charged towards Ye Chen, trying to kill him with one hit.
At this moment, Ye Chen moved. The muscles on his right arm swelled, and he clenched his fist, pointing it forward.
When the Black Shell Bull was only half a meter away from him, Ye Chen let out a low growl, and punched through the Demonic Qi, landing heavily on the Black Shell Bull's forehead.
Boom!
The hard rock ground cracked open, and the Black Shell Bull's huge body was suddenly pressed into the ground. It was bleeding from every orifice, and its limbs were twitching.
Killing the Black Shell Bull with one punch.
Gasp!
The inner disciples who were watching the battle gasped, they were shocked.
Wang Xuemei murmured, "How can there be such a freak!"
After a while, the exam master praised him, "Well done. With your potential and talent, it will not be hard for you to make a name for yourself in the future. You might even be able to compete with the geniuses from other martial institutions, and bring glory to our Sky Cloud Martial School."
Ye Chen's face did not turn red nor was he out of breath. Just now, he had only used seventy to eighty percent of his strength, it could not be said to be strenuous. Hearing this, he said, "Elder, you flatter me."
"It doesn't matter if you've won or not. Everything depends on your own hard work. Otherwise, no matter how talented you are, your achievements will be limited. In the past twenty years, I've seen many unknown disciples soar to the skies, and I've also seen many talented disciples slowly fall. I hope you're not the next one." The exam master did not know how many times he had placed his hopes on Ye Chen, but unfortunately, in the end, only a few people were able to fulfill his expectations. However, Ye Chen was one of the people he had high hopes for, and he sincerely hoped that he could grow up and take charge of his own affairs.
"Alright, now that the Inner Court Disciple Assessment is over, the three of you, follow me to collect your Inner Court Disciple waist tokens, clothing and other things, the rest of you are dismissed!"
…
In the side hall of the examination hall.
"According to your body shape, each of you can pick three sets of inner court disciple robes. In the future, if any of them are torn, you can come here to change them." The exam master opened one of the rows of cabinets and said to Ye Chen and the other two.
Ye Chen fixed his eyes on the cabinet. It was huge, divided into twelve compartments, and in each compartment, there were ten sets of white robes, all of them were of different sizes, and the sizes were marked on the outside.
The three of them were very familiar with their own sizes, so they quickly picked out their robes.
Then, the exam master brought the three of them to the armory, and let them pick out the weapons they liked.
Ye Chen picked out a four feet long great sword, named 'Hidden Cloud', it was as famous as the Colorful Snow Blade from the North Snow Martial Academy and the Crystal Sword from the Emerald Martial Palace, they were all extremely powerful weapons. Wang Xuemei picked out two dark purple short knives, named 'Purple Deer'. The other disciple was not good with weapons, so he randomly picked out a dagger that could cut through iron like it was mud.
At this moment, the exam master took out three dark-blue colored tags from the box next to him. They looked like they were made of wood or iron, and seemed to be a bit heavy.
"Remember, you can't just throw away an inner court disciple tag, it represents your identity, and it is also the proof of your training in the outside world. When you are in danger, you can show the tag, and it might be able to save you. On the other hand, if you lose the tag and get killed, the Sky Cloud Martial School won't be able to handle it. You have to remember this." The exam master warned.
"Yes!"
The three of them nodded.
Picking up a tag, the exam master concentrated his power on his fingers, and started writing on the back of the tag. His Zhen Qi rubbed against the tag, and a light cyan smoke came out.
After writing on the first tag, the exam master picked up the second one …
Soon, all three tags had been written with names, so it was useless for others to take them.
Taking over the tag, Ye Chen subconsciously used sixty percent of his power, trying to test the tag's toughness. The result was out of his expectation, there was no mark on the tag at all. Ye Chen did not believe it, he combined all of his Zhen Qi with his strong power and poured it into his fingertips, and pressed on the tag.
Sizzle!
A thin layer of white smoke came out, but the tag was still undamaged.
Releasing his Zhen Qi, Ye Chen couldn't help but admire the exam master's profound cultivation, he was able to write the names of the three of them on the tag so easily. If that finger had landed on his body, it would definitely have pierced a bloody hole.
"Now, come with me to the Ranking Jade Wall! That is the place every inner court disciple has to go to. "
The Ranking Jade Wall?
The three of them had heard of this place, but they had never been there.
The palace in the middle of the mountain was called the Floating Cloud Palace, it was the place where the inner court disciples could take on missions. Outside of the palace was a huge square that was paved with white marble. On the side of the square, there was a jade wall that was one meter tall and one meter wide. It was completely white with a hint of cyan, and there were many wooden tags hanging on it.
Right now, there were a lot of inner court disciples standing under the jade wall, they all raised their heads to look at the positions of the wooden tags and the names on them.
"Zhang Haoran actually climbed up another ten places. He's now at 285th place."
"That Wu Zongming is not bad either, he is now 333rd."
"The most impressive one is still Senior Sister Xu Jing, she jumped from 23rd to 8th among the core disciples, and finally made it to the top of the jade wall!"
While everyone was talking, Ye Chen and the other two followed the exam master to the jade wall.
"Greetings, Elder Tang. Are these three newly promoted inner court disciples?" Although the exam master was only an outer court master, he was very powerful, even more powerful than the inner court masters. On top of that, he was a kind and friendly person, and was highly respected and loved by everyone.
The exam master nodded, and said with a smile: "You guys have to work hard, some of them have great potential, I think they are not below the top 400."
"Hehe, we are working hard every day, don't worry, Elder Tang."
Ye Chen didn't care about the others' conversation, he just carefully observed the huge jade wall.
On the surface of the jade wall, there were many wooden tags, roughly divided into twenty-nine rows. Each row could hold up to twenty tags, with different names written on them. Among them, Wu Zongming and Zhang Haoran were in the list, they were the third on the 17th row, and the fifteenth on the 14th row.
The first and second rows were the wooden tags of the core disciples, they were bright red in color, bright and eye-catching, above everyone else. The third row was for the top ten inner court disciples, their wooden tags were light red, which meant that they had the ability to become a core disciple, and replace the position of the core disciples. The fourth row was for the inner court disciples with the most number of people, their wooden tags were dark cyan, similar to the inner court disciples' tags.
