"Teacher, there are only ten minutes left. He... looks like he won't be able to make it back!"
Time passed by slowly. Seeing that the sun was about to set, the middle-aged man sighed as he walked in front of the old man. It seemed like the rank one martial artist called Yan Chen would not be able to make it back in time. Regardless of whether he failed, was robbed, or was unable to gather enough tokens, he failed in all cases.
"Rank one martial artist? That's difficult! "The old man opened his eyes and sighed as he smiled bitterly. With the strength of a rank one martial artist, it was extremely difficult to pass this test. No one had succeeded. How could the old man not know this? Although he had high hopes for this rank one martial artist, the rules of the White Tiger Institution selection could not be ignored!
Perhaps, he still had hope next year?!
"Forget it, prepare to pack up. How many people are here now?" The old man retracted his thoughts and took a deep breath before continuing to ask.
"Not many. More than 180 people participated in today's selection, but only 16 are here! "The middle-aged man smiled bitterly.
Even if it was a one in six chance, there should be around 30 people here. But now, it was half! 16 people, what a tragic elimination!
"16 people? That's enough! "The old man did not mind at all, as if he had already expected this outcome.
In fact, judging from his expression, he felt that 16 people was too many.
After all, anything could happen in a random battle. Furthermore, they had to gather at least five tokens. This... was extremely difficult. It was enough to have 16 people return.
Anyway, if there were no accidents, this year, they would still have to recruit 30 martial artists between the ages of 21 to 23!
There were 16 people in Sunfall City, that was already considered a lot! In the entire Barbarian Province, there would be more than 550 people of this level! In other words, at least 520 people would be eliminated in the White Tiger Institution!!!
Hence, they were not worried about the small number of people.
However, the old man felt that it was a pity for the rank one martial artist called Yan Chen.
If he was stronger, it would not matter even if he brought him to White Tiger City.
"Someone is back!"
"Yan Chen, oh my god, that kid... did he complete the mission!"
Just as the old man's voice faded, an uproar rang out from the front. A few middle-aged men and young men from the White Tiger Academy were unable to remain calm at this moment.
Wang Chen. That's right. Just as they were about to announce the end of the selection, Wang Chen returned.
Wang Chen staggered toward the finish line step by step.
At this moment, Wang Chen was in a rather sorry state! There was still a trace of blood on his body, and his entire face was extremely pale.
That's right, Wang Chen! He was back.
On the way back, no matter how careful Wang Chen was, no matter how he took a detour, and no matter how powerful his soul's senses were, he still couldn't avoid being ambushed. Fortunately, the one who ambushed him was an eighth stage king martial artist.
If he had not fought with a Stage Nine Martial King before, Wang Chen would not be afraid of an ambush by a Stage Eight Martial King!
Unfortunately, after fighting with a Stage Nine Martial King, Wang Chen's physical condition was really not flattering.
Therefore, when he encountered this Stage Eight Martial King, Wang Chen could be said to be surrounded by danger and escaped from death.
If Wang Chen hadn't forced the enemy to open the Eight Inner Hidden Gates when he least expected it and used the unexpected burst of power to force the enemy to retreat with one move, he might have been dead already.
Even so, under the pursuit of the other party, Wang Chen had a narrow escape. There were several more wounds on his body. Then, taking advantage of the bushes and complicated terrain, Wang Chen relied on the profoundness and speed of the Ghost Steps. Furthermore, he activated his bloodline talent and relied on a series of explosive steps to open up the distance and get rid of the other party. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
And activating the Eight Inner Hidden Gates and bloodline talent like this made Wang Chen's injuries even worse. At this moment, his body could be said to be in a terrible state.
Slowly walking to the finish line, Wang Chen panted heavily, his entire body extremely weak! Incomparably exhausted.
"Are you okay?" Looking at Wang Chen, the middle-aged man who was optimistic about Wang Chen asked with concern.
"I'm fine!" Wang Chen revealed a smile and nodded.
However, this smile seemed pale and powerless.
"Your injuries are not light. This is a Heart Protection Pill. First, protect the meridians of your body. Your internal injuries are not light!" The man took out a pill and handed it to Wang Chen.
"Thank you!" Wang Chen said gratefully.
This Heart Protection Pill could be regarded as a holy healing item. Since the other party was willing to give it to him, it was naturally a favor.
"Have you completed the mission?" The old man came to Wang Chen's side and asked. Wang Chen's return could be said to have alarmed even the old man with the strength of a Grandmaster.
"En, completed!" After swallowing the Heart Protection Pill, Wang Chen took out the token from the storage space.
Hua hua hua …
With a series of sounds, Wang Chen threw out a pile of tokens.
"Nine!" After counting Wang Chen's tokens, the few people present were shocked and stared at Wang Chen with their eyes wide open!
Nine, that's right, they did not see wrongly. There were actually nine tokens! How was this possible! This was something that a rank 1 king could do.
Of course, they did not know that Wang Chen had already stepped into the level of a rank 3 king. However, even if they knew, they could not believe that a rank 3 king could plunder so many tokens in such a casual battle!
Nine tokens meant that apart from his own token, he had plundered eight others' tokens. It exceeded the stipulated number by five, nearly double! What kind of concept was this? Everyone was a little flustered.
"Two Stage Nine King martial artists, four Stage Eight King martial artists, and two Stage Seven King martial artists!" Soon, the results were out.
"Hiss …"
With this result, even the expressionless old man could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Among the eight tokens, there were actually two that belonged to Stage Nine King martial artists and four that belonged to Stage Eight King martial artists. How amazing was this? This meant that Wang Chen had at least defeated one rank 9 king, or even two.
A beginner king defeating a peak king, this was a heaven-defying matter!
For a moment, everyone looked at Wang Chen with an incomparably strange gaze.
Was this something a beginner king could do?
At this moment, although Wang Chen was covered in injuries, in the eyes of these people, these injuries were a symbol of glory. No wonder, no wonder he was so seriously injured. It turned out that it was the result of fighting with a powerhouse.
At this moment, everyone's hearts were in turmoil and they did not know what to feel. They did not know what words to use to describe Wang Chen.
Was he still human?
Heaven-defying, other than heaven-defying, there was no other word to describe him.
"Very good! Hahaha … very good! "
Finally, after a while, the old man laughed loudly.
"Kid, not bad!" The middle-aged man glanced at Wang Chen with a smile.
"Alright, the test is over!"
After putting away Wang Chen's token, the middle-aged man turned to the crowd.
"The 17 people present here have passed the test! In half a month, gather at the Du Family Square and prepare to head to White Tiger City! "
In the next moment, the middle-aged man added.
As soon as he finished speaking, the 17 people present, including Wang Chen, revealed excited smiles.
Heading to White Tiger City meant that they had entered the final test, which meant that they were one step closer to the White Tiger Institute!
At this thought, Wang Chen let out a long sigh of relief!
However, in the next moment, he quickly withdrew his thoughts. There was still one more test at White Tiger City, and it was also the most important test, which could not be ignored!
Those who were able to head to White Tiger City were undoubtedly the best of the younger generation in the Barbarian Province. These people were difficult to deal with. The following enemies would be stronger and stronger, so Wang Chen could not afford to be careless or be a rival in love.
From today's test, it could be seen how difficult the next test would be.
In today's test, there were more than 180 people, and only 17 people had passed, which meant that around 170 people had failed. Less than a tenth of the success rate, how harsh was that?
And the next test would be even harsher.
Therefore, the real test had just begun.
There was still half a month left, and this half a month was Wang Chen's last chance!
Today's battle with the rank nine martial artist made Wang Chen realize that if he wanted to enter the White Tiger Institute, his strength was still far from enough!
He needed to be stronger! Therefore, it seemed like he had to work even harder to recover in this half a month.
At this thought, Wang Chen secretly sighed.
"Kid, not bad, work hard in this half a month! See you in half a month! "
The middle-aged man smiled as he patted Wang Chen's shoulder.
Immediately after, he took out a bottle of medicinal pills and passed it to Wang Chen: "This is our White Tiger Institute's holy healing medicine! Your strength should be above the ranks of a rank one martial artist, right? Serious internal injuries? This bottle of medicinal pills might be of some help to you! Injuries to the meridians and dantian are difficult to recover with ordinary medicine! "
The man smiled as he passed the bottle of medicinal pills to Wang Chen. The way he looked at Wang Chen was full of meaning!
Hearing this, Wang Chen's expression suddenly froze, the corner of his mouth twitched, and his expression changed.
In the next moment, Wang Chen secretly sighed. He was too careless! Who were these people in front of him? Especially that old man, who was he? If after these few days, they could not even get a glimpse of Wang Chen's strength, they could forget about mingling.
"Don't worry, hur hur, not much can be seen from this matter. Moreover, it's fine even if you can see it, recover well! "Sensing the change in Wang Chen's expression, the man smiled and comforted him.
That's right, they could see it. After a few days of observation, it was inevitable that they discovered something! Obviously, they could tell that Wang Chen's strength was definitely not that of a rank one martial artist.
If he really had the strength of a rank one martial artist, it would be heaven-defying.
In this case, the only possibility was that Wang Chen might be seriously injured and it was difficult for him to recover. At least, it was difficult for him to recover for now. This caused him to be unable to fully unleash his strength. It gave people the feeling that he was a rank one martial artist!
This kind of injury was usually caused by injuries to the meridians and dantian. It would take a long time to recuperate. Even if he recuperated, it would be difficult to recover.
Although they knew this, they still looked at Wang Chen in a different light.
After all, Wang Chen defeated rank eight and even rank nine martial artists with the strength of a rank one martial artist. This was something that ordinary people could not do.
Even if they encountered such a situation and their strength was reduced to the ranks of rank one martial artists, they could not do this.
From this, it could be seen that Yan Chen was very talented. Hence, they did not mind helping him. After all, it was all for the sake of recruiting better seedlings for the academy.
"Thank you!" Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Wang Chen smiled and then sighed. With that, he kept the bottle of medicinal pills into his bag and nodded at the man.
