Lu Feng was overjoyed when he heard that. He couldn't wait any longer.
Buzz …
At that instant, the seventh chime was heard.
Zhou Yang had passed the seventh stage.
"How powerful, he actually managed to pass through the 7th stage with a low-grade Earth Fiend Astral Soul. However, this is definitely his limit. The 8th stage? Impossible!"
"Judging from the time he took to pass the seventh stage, he was barely able to pass the eighth stage. If I were him, it wouldn't be worth it if I got injured."
"Half an incense stick's time has passed. It's impossible to pass the eighth stage."
Everyone was guessing. Xu Yunfei, who was not far away, revealed a look of disdain.
"Hmph, trash will always be trash. You still want to soar into the sky? That's impossible …"
However, before he could finish speaking, the eighth sound rang out!
Even the Martial Masters were shocked by this sound.
"The eighth ring. I was right. This kid is truly a talent," said the large man with a smile.
"That's right. After so many years in the Institute of Martial Arts, no one has been able to pass the eighth stage right after breaking through to the Seventh Order." Beside the burly man, a beautiful female Martial Master with a sexy figure and long, snow-white legs nodded in agreement.
"So what if he has some talent? In this world, there are many geniuses who are stronger than him, but how many of them can become strong? You should know that to become strong, in addition to strength, you also need brains. You see, he has no backing, no strength, but he still wants to become enemies with the Ye and Xu families, and now he even offended the Vice Dean …" The young warrior shook his head and sneered.
"Martial Teacher Gao's words are right. No matter how strong one's talent is, they still need to know how to conceal their strength and bide their time. Not to mention, he's just a low-grade Astral Soul user."
The five Martial Masters argued endlessly with their own opinions. Meanwhile, Zhou Yang had already reached the ninth stage within the array.
In the ninth trial, there were still nine wooden puppets. However, what was different from what he had expected was that these nine wooden puppets did not act passively. In fact, they did not even make a move when he reached the bell.
"This … could it be that someone went easy on him?"
Zhou Yang frowned. He didn't think anyone would help him.
He looked around, and after confirming that there was no threat, he clenched his fist and smashed it against the bell. The next moment, the door to the outside world opened.
In an instant, a figure flashed outside the door, grabbed the small box that fell from the clock, and went out the door.
All of this happened too quickly. Zhou Yang did not expect it. By the time he realized it, it was already too late.
The door was closed again, and the wooden puppet moved.
"The small box that fell from the bell should be the Fine Grade Black Tortoise Stone. Embezzlement!"
He didn't even need to think to know that this must be Deacon Lu's doing. The wooden man in the array could be controlled from outside the array, but the door could only be opened by ringing the bell. Therefore, Deacon Lu deliberately didn't activate the wooden man and let him ring the bell to seize the treasure. Finally, he used the wooden man to kill him.
If this method was used on someone else, then Deacon Lu naturally wouldn't be able to escape punishment. However, it was different when it was used on him. He had even offended the Academy's Vice Principal. Even if he were to die in this Wooden Puppet Array, the Academy would probably turn a blind eye to it.
Zhou Yang smiled coldly. Deacon Lu was indeed cunning, but unfortunately, Deacon Lu never expected that Zhou Yang had never shown his true strength.
"Rumble …"
At this moment, a crack suddenly appeared on the ground, and nine wooden puppets crawled out from the crack.
Eighteen wooden dolls.
Zhou Yang immediately took a few steps back. He had heard that every Wooden Puppet Array had eighteen wooden dolls, and nine of them were reserved to make up for the damaged ones. However, all of them were activated now. It was obvious that Deacon Lu had secretly done this again.
"You've actually activated all the wooden puppets. Very well, I'll make sure you suffer the consequences today."
Zhou Yang's heart tightened, and a flame appeared behind him. Then, it formed a three-zhang tall flame giant.
The giant held a battle axe in its left hand, and its right hand was clenched into a fist. Its eyes were as angry as a gong, and it emitted an unparalleled majesty.
Magma Giant God Star Soul!
"Boom."
With a punch, the strength of more than twenty bulls directly smashed a wooden doll into pieces. On the pieces, there were traces of charred black.
Four times the strength, flame inner force!
Zhou Yang was extremely excited to fight with all his strength for the first time. For a moment, the small stone room was filled with the sound of collisions, and wooden dolls were continuously smashed above …
At the same time, outside the Wooden Puppet Array, everyone's eyes were filled with 30% doubt and 70% shock.
What shocked them was that just now, the ninth bell rang, which proved that Zhou Yang had already passed the Wooden Puppet Array and was about to become an elite disciple.
What confused them was that Zhou Yang still hadn't come out.
"Everyone!"
Just then, Deacon Lu walked out of the hall, and the outside of the hall started to quiet down.

"Everyone, it's a pity. Although Zhou Yang rang the bell for the ninth stage, he died due to his severe injuries." Deacon Lu sighed as he spoke. He had a look of pity on his face.
"He actually died just like that. What a pity." Ding Yizhen sneered and looked at Zhou Zitao beside her.
Zhou Zitao heaved a sigh of relief, and then smiled, "Martial artists' life and death are normal things. It's no big deal if he dies. Everyone, go back …"
After saying that, Zhou Zitao was the first to turn around and leave. He couldn't wait to tell the others the good news.
Everyone shook their heads. Some felt pity, some gloated, and some were confused. But as spectators, they had no right to ask. They just stayed for a while and then left.
"Buzz …"
Just when everyone was about to leave, a bell rang.
This was the bell of the Wooden Puppet Array.
The tenth bell rang.
Including Zhou Zitao and Ding Yizhen, everyone turned around and looked at the Wooden Puppet Array in shock.
"What's going on?"
"Why would there be a tenth bell?"
"What's going on with Deacon Lu?"
Everyone was confused. Deacon Lu was also confused. He immediately turned around and walked towards the main hall.
"Bang!"
Wooden Puppet Array. The door of the last round suddenly opened. Zhou Yang's figure disappeared at the door of the last round. Behind him was a pile of ruins. Almost none of the eighteen wooden puppets were intact.
Behind the door was a row of houses. Zhou Yang quickly found the place where Deacon Lu was. He pushed the door open and saw Lu Feng playing with the Black Tortoise Stone and a green token in his hand.
The Black Tortoise Stone and the token were Zhou Yang's rewards.
"It's you. Why are you …" Lu Feng looked at Zhou Yang's murderous face and sharp eyes. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his face was pale.
"It's you, Lu Feng." Zhou Yang smiled disdainfully. Lu Feng was a disciple of the Elite Hall, but he was more famous than ordinary people. His godfather was Lu Ping, the guardian deacon of the Wooden Puppet Array.
Seeing Lu Feng, he basically understood the ins and outs of this matter.
"It should be Ding Yizhen who asked you to come." Zhou Yang asked with a smile.
"Zhou Yang, you … how did you pass the ninth round?" Lu Feng still hadn't recovered. In his opinion, even a disciple of the Elite Hall couldn't defeat eighteen ninth-rank wooden puppets.
