With the purple-robed middle-aged man's order, the entire square was in an uproar again.
Countless disciples used their movement techniques and ran towards Thundercloud Mountain, afraid that they would be a step too late and be beaten to it by others.
Plop! Plop!
Most of the first batch of disciples who ran up Thundercloud Mountain suddenly knelt on the stone steps. Their originally rosy faces instantly turned pale.
"What's going on?" Many disciples didn't understand what was going on, but when they stepped onto the first stone step, they immediately understood. A huge force pressed down on everyone, like a mountain that wanted to crush them.
Soon, some disciples couldn't hold on any longer. The spirit energy in their bodies had been exhausted while resisting the pressure, and they fell weakly on the stone steps. In the next moment, a white light rose from under their feet. Then, with a flash of white light, these disciples disappeared.
Although they didn't know where they went, one thing was certain, they had been eliminated. Only by completing the ninety-nine stone steps under this huge pressure could they be considered to have passed.
"Humph! A bunch of idiots! "Some of the stronger disciples sneered.
Not long after, nearly eighty percent of the outer court disciples were eliminated. Only a few people were left, and some disciples had not stepped onto the stone steps.
"It's about time, let's go!" Jiang Yulong and the others walked forward and began to climb the stone steps. On the other side, Lin Xuan and the disciples of the Southern District also stepped onto the stone steps.
"So heavy!" Ding Xiaopeng gritted his teeth and said.
"Damn it, I'm about to be squashed!" Hou Xiaopeng cursed.
Inject your spirit energy into your entire body and pay attention to your consumption! Lin Xuan didn't feel that it was too strenuous. He didn't remind his companions.
First step, second step, third step … After the tenth step, the pressure suddenly increased. Ding Xiaopeng and the others couldn't hold on any longer and turned into white light and dissipated.
"Brother Xuan, you must pass!" The voices of Ding Xiaopeng and the others echoed nearby.
Lin Xuan nodded and set off alone. He moved forward quickly, attracting the attention of the surrounding people.
"F * ck!" Where did this fierce person come from, running so fast! "Someone was surprised.
"Idiot, wait until your spirit energy runs out and you cry!" There were also some that were disdainful. Besides testing the outer court disciples' strength, the first test also tested their perseverance, strategy, and other external conditions.
Those with high strength could naturally leave quickly. As for those with average strength, as long as they maintained the production and consumption of their spiritual energy and endured the pressure, they would eventually succeed.
However, it was uncertain whether these disciples would be able to endure it.
Ranked first was Shangguan Liuyun. He had his hands behind his back and rushed forward as if he was flying. Occasionally, he would stop, but he would quickly move again.
Behind him were Duan Fei, Jiang Yulong, and the others. These people also far surpassed the other disciples, but the expressions on their faces were not relaxed.
Wine Lord suddenly said, "Hehe, every ten levels will double the pressure. At the end, it will be nine times the pressure. Moreover, this pressure is different for everyone. The stronger you are, the more pressure you will feel!"
"Looks like this isn't just a simple test of strength. There's also potential, perseverance, and many other aspects."
"Everyone's results are different?" Lin Xuan was stunned. He looked at the figure in first place, and for the first time, his expression changed.
"Yes, this is a battle, a battle with yourself! Break through your own limits and you will be able to enter the next test! "Wine Lord said.
"Then let's do it!" Lin Xuan said in a deep voice.
When they reached the 40th step, all the disciples' speed generally slowed down. Many people were recovering their spiritual energy on the spot. There was no other way. This was equivalent to four times the pressure, and no one was an exception.
Ranked first was still Shangguan Liuyun. He stood like a javelin on the 63rd step, silently recovering his spiritual energy.
Below him was Duan Fei, 57th step.
Jiang Yulong, 55th step.
Shen Qian 'er, 55th step.
…
Lin Xuan stood on the 43rd step. His face was a little pale, but his breathing was not chaotic. It seemed that he was not tired, but he did not continue to go up.
This was because when he stepped on the 40th step, Wine Lord's voice sounded in his heart. He told him that the stone steps contained a weak power of thunder and lightning.
"This mountain is called Thundercloud Mountain. It's not strange that it contains the power of thunder and lightning." Wine Lord said, "Little Xuan 'zi, your opportunity has arrived. As long as you absorb the power of thunder and lightning and refine it into your spiritual energy, you will have thunder attribute spiritual energy."
Lin Xuan obeyed and stayed on each step for a period of time. According to the method provided by Wine Lord, he silently absorbed the power of thunder and lightning from the stone steps.
A blue arc of lightning came out from the stone steps and drilled into Lin Xuan's feet. It entered his body and crazily swam around.
Hiss!
After the blue arc of lightning entered Lin Xuan's body, it was like a fierce tiger returning to the mountain. It crazily ran around. The power of thunder and lightning was released continuously, causing Lin Xuan to grimace in pain.
"Hmph! You want to challenge Senior Brother Jiang with this little ability? I advise you to get lost! " On the side, a Divine Might Group disciple proudly overtook Lin Xuan and mocked him to his heart's content. "You can't even withstand this little pressure. You are indeed trash!"
Lin Xuan closed his eyes and concentrated. He was completely unaware of what was happening outside. He was concentrating the spiritual energy in his body to block the arc of lightning.
That Divine Might Group disciple saw that Lin Xuan had no reaction and thought that he had accepted his fate. He coldly snorted and went higher.
At this moment, within Lin Xuan's body, the blue arc of lightning was wrapped into a ball by the green spiritual energy and temporarily isolated. Lin Xuan inwardly let out a sigh of relief. He curiously observed the blue arc of lightning.
Wine Lord said from the side, "Looking at its power, the grade of this thunder and lightning isn't too weak. Fortunately, it's only a strand and not the entire thunder source. Otherwise, with your current cultivation, you wouldn't be able to subdue it."
"What should I do now?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Refine this strand first," Wine Lord instructed, "Use the Long Life Secret Art's Fusion Word Technique to fuse it into your spiritual energy."
Lin Xuan indicated that he understood. He then used the Long Life Secret Art to slowly melt the power of the thunder and lightning …
Outside, Thundercloud Mountain.
More and more disciples overtook Lin Xuan. Among them were quite a number of Divine Might Group disciples. When they saw Lin Xuan, they looked at him with disdain. Some of the disciples who heard that Lin Xuan wanted to challenge Jiang Yulong shook their heads after seeing Lin Xuan's performance.
"Hmph, you still want to fight with our Divine Might Group? You don't know your place! "On the 50th stone platform, Yan Kong sneered.
"Wait till we become inner sect disciples. We can crush him with one hand!" On the 49th step, Hua Yangping's eyes flashed with a vicious glint.
At this moment, Lin Xuan opened his eyes and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Then, he stepped onto the 44th step.
"He's moving, he's moving!" The disciples who were resting nearby all turned their heads. They wanted to see for themselves the strength of the legendary young man who could go against the Divine Might Group.
However, to their surprise, Lin Xuan stood on the 44th step and closed his eyes again.
"He's smiling like this after going up one more step. What a weirdo!"
