The tranquility of the mountain peak was broken because of the two fellows who had yet to finish their trial.
Most of the newcomers thought that something had happened to the two of them. The disciples of Alioth Peak also thought so until Li Yaotian spoke.
"They are still continuing."
The peak instantly recovered its silence. After a good while, the students of Alioth Peak all walked to the side of the mountain and started to search for the figures of the two people on the mountain path.
It was these two fellows.
Yan Zhen's heart skipped a beat when she saw the two of them.
These were the two people that Li Yaotian had once asked him to pay attention to. However, it was only because he was afraid that he would miss out on these two newcomers, and it wasn't because he viewed them in a different light. But now, the two of them had attracted everyone's attention, but what about him? He should have been paying attention to the two of them, but he didn't know that they hadn't finished the trial yet.
Yan Zhen stole a glance at Li Yaotian, but saw that Li Yaotian was only looking down the mountain, as if he hadn't noticed this problem. Just as he was secretly heaving a sigh of relief, Li Yaotian's eyes seemed to glance at him.
Sigh …
Yan Zhen knew that she didn't dare to take any chances. Li Yaotian was a serious person, so it was impossible for him to miss out on anything. Obviously, he had already noticed that these were the two people that he had asked Yan Zhen to pay attention to, but in the end, he had forgotten about them.
Yan Zhen couldn't help but feel a little annoyed that she had already left a bad evaluation in her teacher's mind. He did not dare to hold any grudges against Li Yaotian, so he naturally vented his anger on Lu Ping and Zi Mu. One had to know that Li Yaotian was extremely strict in accepting disciples, leaving a bad impression in his heart that was extremely difficult to erase.
"These two fellows have no idea what's going on in this trial, right?"
"Impossible, right? We've been walking for so long, but we still haven't reached the end. Anyone can tell that something is wrong, right? "
"Is it because there's no other way? Is this the only way?"
"It's not easy to hold on for so long."
The Yu Heng students that found the two started to discuss in low voices.
Li Yaotian didn't say anything. He just glanced at Ruan Qingzhu, asking for her opinion.
"That kid has been dying for a long time," Ruan Qingzhu said.
Li Yaotian nodded. It was obvious who Ruan Qingzhu was referring to. Of course, it was the one who was being carried.
"But he's still alive." Li Yaotian said.
Ruan Qingzhu nodded. She understood what Li Yaotian meant. With the strength of the two of them, even at such a distance, it was very easy for them to probe a Perception realm xiuzhe. A Realm of Perception xiuzhe. After staying in Li Yaotian's Vanishing End for so long, he should have died long ago – even if Li Yaotian didn't use his full strength in this Vanishing End.
However, he was still alive. Even if he was unconscious, his remaining vitality was the best proof of his tenacity. For a cultivator in the Realm of Perception, he really couldn't ask for more in this trial.
"As for the other brat …" Ruan Qingzhu spoke of Lu Ping. She, who had always been straightforward, actually pondered for a long time. Finally, she said, "I don't think he's putting up a front."
"Mm." Li Yaotian nodded. "Alright, I still have some energy left."
He still had strength to spare.
It was only four words, but they had been in the Disappearing End for so long and had been carrying a person all this time. Upon hearing Li Yaotian's evaluation, the other Alioth students immediately looked at each other. The other rookies were also dumbfounded, including Lin Tianbiao who had used a minute to break through the end of the vanishing point and arrive at the peak. They couldn't help but be moved.
He had used the fastest method to resolve the Disappearing End. But the person in front of them seemed to be at the other end of the spectrum, completely going in the opposite direction.
It was just that if they walked in a circle, wouldn't they still end up at the same destination?
Who was it?
Lin Tianbiao, who had been keeping a low profile in the corner, couldn't help but move towards the side of the mountain, searching down the mountain. Having connected his three spirits, his strength was extraordinary. He quickly found the figures of Lu Ping and Zi Mu in the mountain. Just as he looked, he saw Lu Ping put down Zi Mu from his shoulder, leaned against a tree by the side of the road, and then looked around.
"Did he just realize it now?"
"Isn't he too slow?"
"Is he not going to make it?"
The discussion rose again. Li Yaotian finally turned his head, sweeping his gaze across the students who were talking over each other. Everyone instantly fell silent.
After looking around for a while, Lu Ping walked into the forest by the side of the road. At this moment, those who didn't have special abilities on the Disappearing End could no longer see him. The crowd didn't dare to discuss anymore, and could only guess in their hearts. Unexpectedly, Ruan Qingzhu's expression suddenly changed. She actually revealed some nervousness, and finally flew into a rage, "This bastard!"
Everyone subconsciously shrunk their heads. They didn't know why Ruan Qingzhu was so angry. They only saw that her face was ashen, as if she had the urge to rush down and kill someone.
After a while, they finally saw Lu Ping walk out of the forest, holding something in his hand.
"What is it?" Those who couldn't see clearly couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"It looks like … … a rabbit … …" The person who replied said, and then looked towards Ruan Qingzhu.
The people from the North Style Academy immediately understood. No wonder Ruan Qingzhu was angry just now. The rabbits on the Alkaid Peak were all reared by her, but now they were caught by Lu Ping. They were already skinned and cleaned.
He was going to eat them … …
Everyone was dumbstruck. They saw Lu Ping set up a fire rack at the side of the mountain road, skewered the rabbit, and really started roasting it. Soon, smoke curled up from the chimney, and the fragrance drifted in the air. Although the peak was far away, it couldn't withstand the high realm of many people's spirits. They immediately sniffed. Only when they met Ruan Qingzhu's murderous gaze did they immediately stop, and quietly swallowed back their saliva.
"Bastard!" Ruan Qingzhu said hatefully, and actually flicked her sleeves and left. The students hurriedly bowed to send her off, and pondered in their hearts: Calling the person roasting the rabbit a bastard, seems like there's a hidden malice hidden within.
Li Yaotian, who was still standing at the side of the mountain, was also speechless. He felt angry and amused at the same time.
This was the North Style Academy's Newcomer Trial! I've never seen someone so calm and unhurried. He couldn't even walk out of the Vanishing End, and he even started eating. Was he planning to fight a protracted battle? How long was he planning to walk?
Li Yaotian originally wanted to wait for Lu Ping and Zi Mu to come to a conclusion, but after seeing Lu Ping's posture, he immediately felt that it was better to make other plans. He immediately turned his head and looked at the students behind him, as well as the restless newcomers. He said to Chen Chu who was at the side, "Announce the results first, then let the Alkaid Peak arrange for everyone to eat."
"Yes." Chen Chu nodded. The newcomers didn't expect the final result to come so suddenly. Who would still have the mind to care about Lu Ping? Everyone's gaze immediately focused on Chen Chu.
The list of newcomers was gathered in Chen Chu's hands, and every newcomer had already made their decision. Li Yaotian seemed to be standing at the side of the mountain without moving, but he had already gone through the final list no less than three times. If he wanted to look at something, he didn't need to place it in front of him.
Chen Chu took the list and walked in front of the newcomers. He looked at them and said, "Those whose names were called below, I'm sorry."
Everyone naturally understood what he meant by 'sorry', and immediately became even more nervous.
"Ge Zheng, Sheng Yu, Li Shi, Guo Shangyang, Zhi Bei … …"
He didn't read too fast, but it wasn't slow either. After every name, an extremely disappointed face would immediately appear in the crowd. Apart from people like Zi Mu, the majority of the newcomers came with pride and confidence. However, in the end, there were still quite a number of people who couldn't pass the trial. The North Style Academy's strict requirements for the newcomers still exceeded most people's expectations.
The list was very long, and Chen Chu read for a very long time. Those who were called out were disappointed, angry, and all kinds of emotions. There were even some who were extremely unconvinced and started to struggle. Chen Chu had no choice but to pause for a moment, "If you have any questions, you can ask your previous guide."
With a whoosh, many people immediately dispersed and looked for their previous guides, as if they were their last hope. But in the end, the answer they got from their guides made most of them feel regretful, but they no longer had any unconvinced expressions. Li Yaotian was the one who presided over the newcomer exam, and he even gave an explanation. He was very responsible. Otherwise, even if he just announced the results and ignored them, who would really dare to challenge the North Style Academy?
Thousands of newcomers were the cream of the crop recommended by various places, but in the end, a third of them were eliminated in this mountain trial. When Chen Chu finally finished reading the last name, those newcomers who weren't called out burst into cheers at the mountaintop. As for the other third, they stood at the summit of Yuyao Peak and looked at the setting sun that had already disappeared into the mountaintop. This was their first time watching the sunset at the summit of Big Dipper Mountain's Yuyao Peak. At the same time, it was also their last time.
At this time, Chen Chu put away all the name lists and returned to Li Yaotian's side. He said with a bitter face, "Teacher … Teacher Ruan Qingzhu said she won't be giving us food … …"
Li Yaotian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head repeatedly, "We didn't kill the rabbits to eat, why are you venting your anger on us?"
