"The second test is the attack power test. You'll pass if you light up 100 purple crystals. You'll be eliminated if you don't. Everyone has two chances. Let's begin! "
Under the old man's lead, everyone entered the second level. The space was very small, only a thousand feet in radius. A testing pagoda monument stood at the core. On the monument, 200 purple crystals were evenly distributed from the lowest to the highest.
"An ordinary mid-stage Essence Soul realm cultivator can light up 100 crystals. A late-stage Essence Soul realm cultivator can light up 150 crystals, and a half-step to Creation realm cultivator can light up 200 crystals. Brother Chen, among our other six teammates, the least one has lit up 120 crystals … In terms of attack power, he's close to an ordinary mid-stage Essence Soul realm cultivator. The highest one has lit up 143 crystals, close to a late-stage Essence Soul realm cultivator. " The First King transmitted his voice as the hundred-odd disciples began the test. There was a confident smile on his rough and imposing face.
"That's very good. Did you meet the other six here, or did you know them from the beginning? "
"I only knew two of them at first. They're cultivators from Songyuan City like me. One of them is from the Immortal Dao, called Baili Lian City, and the other is from the Fiend Dao, called Jing Tiangang. "
"Brother First King, forgive me for being blunt, but with your talent and cultivation, you must be disciples of the big families or sects in Songyuan City, right? Why did you form a separate guardian group? "
The First King smiled and said, "The three of us are indeed disciples of the top families in Songyuan City. We're also the direct descendants of our families, and we're the most talented disciples. Therefore, we're free. Our mission is to reach the peak of the Martial Dao. Our families won't restrict us in any way, and that's what we want … "
Chen Hao was slightly taken aback when he heard the First King's words, but he immediately nodded in relief. Indeed, a true expert's achievements would be limited if they were bound to the trifling matters of their families.
The First King then introduced the other four to Chen Hao. The other four were two pairs of Dao companions. One of them was from the more powerful East Sea archipelago, while the other was from the Northern Continent.
…
Everyone felt that the attack power test was much easier than the speed test. When it was the First King's turn, not a single one was eliminated. Most of them were concentrated between 100 and 110 stones. Only a few disciples had a score above 130 stones, and the highest was 138 stones.
As a member of the Flaming Lion Clan, the First King had a natural advantage in terms of strength. With a single punch, he lit up 158 of them. The first king was very satisfied with this result. He was only at the early-stage Essence Soul realm, but his offensive strength had already exceeded the late-stage Essence Soul realm. With such results, he was confident that it would not be difficult for him to beat Chen Hao. Of course, if he knew that Chen Hao had easily defeated a genius expert of the late Primordial Spirit Realm, he probably would not think so. Moreover, when Chen Hao defeated Mo Yuxian, his cultivation level had not yet reached the peak of the early-stage Primordial Spirit Realm.
"Not bad, young man … You must be the first king of the Shi family, right?"
"Exactly. Senior, you flatter me, "First King cupped his fists and said when he heard the praise from the elder presiding over the test. Although he spoke modestly, the pride of a young man could not be concealed at all.
However …
When Chen Hao casually struck with his palm, the first king's eyes widened. 160 stones!
A moment later, the beautiful sisters' results were announced one after another. They were exactly the same — 113 stones.
…
"The third test is a test of reaction speed and movement technique. Follow me! "The elder led Chen Hao and the others to the third level.
A narrow passageway that was thousands of feet long and only fifteen feet wide appeared before everyone's eyes. There was no mysterious aura in the passage. The four walls looked like an ordinary passage made of huge stones. Even with Chen Hao's powerful soul perception, he could not detect any abnormalities.
"In this passage, you will be attacked 1,000 times without any warning or pattern. You will only be able to sense a trace of energy fluctuation when the attack is launched. The attack is not very powerful, and it will not injure you. However, every time you are hit by an attack, a point will be deducted. If you are above 600 points, you will pass. If you are below 600 points, you will be eliminated! "You do not need to try to sense it. Even Blessed Realm elites will not be able to sense any aura from the traps in the passage. What you need to do is to react as quickly as possible when the attack appears. Remember, you can only dodge, not block! "If you block it, you will hit! "Time limit. You must pass through the passage within one minute. Otherwise, you will fail. Begin! "the old man said in a low voice.
When the first cultivator heard the old man's words, he sucked in a deep breath and stepped into the passage.
Hiss …
As the cultivator moved forward quickly, crimson red rays of light that looked like lasers appeared out of thin air in a bizarre manner. They shot out without any warning, and the angles were incredibly tricky. They were also incredibly fast. In the beginning, there were dozens of them, and the cultivator avoided them all, but as he went deeper, clear banging sounds came from the cultivator's body. Every time a sound rang out, it meant that the cultivator was hit.
The further he went, the higher the frequency of the sound. In less than a minute, when the cultivator reached the end of the passage, he was already covered in cold sweat, and his face was pale. It was not because he had used up a lot of energy, but because he was extremely nervous, and he had used up too much of his spirit. He panted heavily and stared at the old man who had arrived at his end at some unknown point of time.
"You hit 403 times! Try harder next time, "the old man said in a regretful tone while shaking his head.
"Senior … can you give me another chance? I was too nervous, and I didn't use my full strength … I can do it! "
"Go down! It's not that easy to become a guardian. You are indeed nervous, but nervousness is also a problem of your temperament. There's no need to say anything else. "The old man waved his hand and released a wave of energy, sending the first cultivator who took the test to the group of people who were eliminated.
"All of you, listen up. The number of people who are eliminated in this test is the highest in every batch. There are often cultivators who find all kinds of excuses, saying that they are nervous, that they are tall, or that they are at a disadvantage … These are all excuses. This test is very fair. As long as your body doesn't fill up the entire passage, it's fair. Although the time and distance of each attack is irregular, it is the same, and the reaction time is the same. Alright, let's continue! "The old man stood at the other end of the passage and said in a dignified manner.
After that, among the nearly one hundred people, most of them were between six hundred and seven hundred points, and seven people were eliminated again. Moreover, most of the people who were eliminated were older people. Judging from their depressed expressions, it seemed that this was not the first time they had taken this test. Moreover, it was obvious that they had all failed in this segment.
"I can't lose again this time …"
When it was finally First King's turn, this tall guy thought to himself. Although this was not his strong point, he had more or less' underestimated his opponent 'in the first two segments. Without any pressure, although he had tried his best, it was definitely not his limit. His goal was to be the regiment commander. Although the test could not reflect his true combat power, how embarrassing would it be if he was suppressed by Chen Hao in every aspect?
First King took a deep breath and cut off all distracting thoughts. He adjusted his state of mind to a state of emptiness, and his essence, Qi, and spirit surged to an unprecedented level.
Chi!
His tall and mighty body immediately turned into a stream of light and charged into the long and narrow passage.
Hiss …
As the crimson laser-like attacks appeared, the First King's huge body nimbly flashed. Relying on his precise senses, he did not waste the slightest bit of time and energy. Every red light narrowly brushed past him. He moved forward six thousand feet and did not cause any explosions.
"So powerful …"
"Too powerful. His reaction speed and body movement have reached such a level! I'm afraid that even a peak late-stage Primordial Soul realm can't do it! "
"Is he going to win completely?"
"Impossible. No one in the Primordial Soul realm can win completely. Only those Half-step to Manifestation realm experts who came from other regions and took the test later can win completely. "
"It's hard to say. Although reaction speed will increase as one's cultivation level increases, it is more of an innate advantage … "
"Pa!"
At eight thousand feet, a crisp "pa" sounded in everyone's ears, destroying any possibility of a complete victory.
"Roar!"
First King let out a beast-like roar. His golden curly hair immediately stood on end as he charged forward again.
"Powerful … the legendary Golden Lion King? This fellow is a rare genius who gets stronger under pressure … "At this moment, even Chen Hao was a little surprised by First King's performance. Of course, it was just a little surprise.
Pa pa …
After two more crisp explosions, the First King rushed out of the tunnel and appeared in front of the old man who had a look of surprise on his face.
997!
He had only been hit three times! This was definitely beyond everyone's imagination.
"It seems that this fellow won't even give me a chance to keep a low profile …" Chen Hao's lips curled into a bitter smile. He thought to himself, "But fortunately, it's body movement and reaction speed …"
Although body movement and reaction speed were also a great measure of combat power, they were not very important compared to absolute power. This was what most people thought. If it was a test of attack power, Chen Hao would rather lose to First King to keep a low profile. How good was it to pretend to be weak? If he really let everyone know that he was strong, how would he have the chance to make a fortune?
"As expected of the Shi family's number one genius! Good job! " The elder could not help but exclaim, "This is the best result in the past ten years among all the testers in Songyuan City who are below the middle stage of the Primordial Soul realm …"
After a few people, it was finally Chen Hao's turn.
Chen Hao's performance in the previous two tests had been astonishing. At this moment, everyone present, including the elder, was undoubtedly looking forward to Chen Hao's test.
Chen Hao took a deep breath. His handsome face was still as calm as ever, and no one could tell how deep he was. He did not seem nervous at all. The others did not know about the secret competition between Chen Hao and First King, but First King was very clear about it. This time, it was all because of the explosive power of his little universe. He originally had the confidence to win, but for some reason, when he saw Chen Hao's expression, he vaguely felt a little uneasy …
Hiss!
Chen Hao took a step forward and rushed into the long and narrow tunnel. (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
