"So this horn is sealed. The examiner is removing the seal!"
Seeing the runes light up with Zhang Tan's actions, Yi Yun immediately understood. Back when he received the Chi Lin beast head from old man Su, old man Su had done something similar.
Many desolate beast bones would be sealed with a mystic technique to prevent the energy from dissipating after they were chopped off. When it was time to use it, the seal would be removed.
"This must be a desolate beast's horn!" This thought flashed across Yi Yun's mind. If it was really a desolate beast, then it was definitely an impressive desolate beast. This was because Yi Yun realized that as the seals were unraveled layer by layer, the beast horn began to emit dazzling rainbow light dots!
These light dots could only be seen after Yi Yun interfaced with the Purple Crystal Origins. It was Yi Yun's unique vision.
Compared to the surging energy contained in the horn, the Frost Python desolate bones that Lian Chengyu had previously refined were like fireflies in front of the bright moon. They were insignificant!
"Such strong energy, what desolate beast's horn is this?"
Yi Yun was bewildered. At this moment, Yi Yun realized that many of the participants beside him were becoming anxious.
Some of them were even worse. Their faces had turned pale and their eyes were filled with fear. It was as if they had seen something terrifying.
As more and more seals were removed, Zhang Tan's ten fingers flew!
The rainbow light dots in Yi Yun's vision became richer and the energy became stronger. At this moment, many of the participants were already trembling!
Suddenly, Zhang Tan stopped in the middle of the field. He looked at everyone and said in a low voice, "It has begun. The first test will test your Spirit!"
Saying that, Zhang Tan waved his hand and tore off the last seal on the horn!
When the seal was torn off, Yi Yun saw a dazzling beam of light shoot up into the sky. It was like a sharp sword piercing through the clouds!
"This is!?"
Yi Yun's expression changed as he took a few steps back!
And around Yi Yun, some of the participants' faces were ashen. They were drenched in cold sweat and their knees went soft, causing them to kneel on the ground!
Some of them had difficulty breathing and their teeth chattered. They felt an invisible pressure envelop them, making them scared out of their wits.
Those who were still able to stand would often tremble and retreat. After retreating more than ten meters, they would turn around and run!
"What a powerful desolate beast!"
Yi Yun was shocked. At this moment, he realized that the pillar of light that shot into the sky had formed a phantom image in the sky!
This phantom image was not only seen by Yi Yun, but also by the other participants.
Its body was huge, its limbs thick and sturdy, and its entire body was burning with blue flames. It looked like a huge white tiger, but it was countless times more terrifying than a white tiger.
The appearance of this giant beast made everyone hold their breath.
The giant beast was not restrained at all. It stared at everyone with murderous eyes! It was as if in the next moment, it was going to pounce on them and slaughter them wantonly!
Some of the weakest people, such as the members of the Lian tribal clan's warrior preparation camp, had already pissed their pants. A man who had previously mocked Yi Yun and was proud of being able to lift a 500-pound stone roller was now sprawled on the ground. His pants were wet and smelled of urine.
"Don't … don't … eat me."
He seemed to have fallen into an illusion. His whole body trembled as he crawled out bit by bit.
As Zhang Tan said, if they were to be scared out of their wits in this assessment, they would lose their confidence in martial arts, making it difficult for them to achieve anything in the future.
But then again, even if these people were not scared out of their wits, they would not be able to go far on the path of martial arts. They were not made for martial arts.
At this moment, Yi Yun, who was standing still, suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He held his breath. He saw the phantom image of energy slowly floating towards him!
Even if it was such a terrifying beast bone, once the seal was removed, its energy would be absorbed by the Purple Crystal!
Seeing the Purple Crystal Crystal about to absorb the horn's energy wantonly, Yi Yun's face turned serious. He immediately interfaced with the Purple Crystal to slow down the Purple Crystal's absorption of the energy.
Not long ago, Yi Yun had sucked dry the Frost Python desolate bone's energy in one go, nearly causing his meridians to rupture. This time, he had learned his lesson. This unknown horn's energy was many times stronger than the Frost Python desolate bone. If he were to swallow it in one go, it was not impossible for his body to explode.
While Yi Yun was focused on dealing with the surging energy, more than half of the participants around him had been eliminated.
In Zhang Tan's words, they lacked courage and did not have the will to resist the pressure. Such people, be it entering the mystic realm or battling desolate beasts, would not be able to use their full strength. They were a bunch of idiots.
Of course, with the appearance of idiots, there were strong people who stood out!
There were about four hundred people who could barely withstand the pressure, and another hundred people who could easily handle it.
There were even a few dozen people, including Lian Chengyu and Tao Yunxiao, who could talk and laugh.
Tao Yunxiao scanned the people around him with a look of disdain. A bunch of good-for-nothings, showing all sorts of ugly behaviors under the pressure of the desolate beast was a disgrace!
He glanced at Lian Chengyu. Tao Yunxiao was not surprised that Lian Chengyu was able to stand there calmly.
But …
Oh?
Tao Yunxiao immediately noticed Yi Yun, who was not far from Lian Chengyu. A twelve year old child was very eye-catching in the crowd.
Yi Yun was actually able to stand there perfectly fine. He did not seem to be in any discomfort. He was just in a daze.
Tao Yunxiao was surprised. Didn't Lian Chengyu say that the child had eaten some treasure to increase his strength by leaps and bounds? How could he have the courage to withstand the pressure of the desolate beast's horn?
"Interesting."
Tao Yunxiao smiled. He knew this was just the beginning. Yi Yun had attracted his attention, but it was just attention. Tao Yunxiao did not treat Yi Yun as a competitor. In fact, Tao Yunxiao did not think that anyone below the Purple Blood realm was qualified to be his competitor.
Just as he was thinking of how to shine in the Kingdom's selection and attract the attention of the upper echelons of the Jin Long Wei, Tao Yunxiao saw that in the sky above the desolate plains, a white airship was slowly drifting over from a blurry area.
Airship?
Tao Yunxiao was slightly startled. Tao Yunxiao had read about flying ships in the ancient records, but this was the first time he had seen one in person.
One had to know that the airship was extremely fast and could carry a lot of goods and passengers. If one had an airship, it would be a piece of cake to travel through the Great Wilderness.
But the entire Tao tribal clan, with a population of a hundred thousand, could not afford an airship.
Not only could they not afford it, even if the Tao tribal clan was given an airship, they would not be able to use it. This was because the airship's power came from the desolate bones essence!
If there was desolate bones essence, the Tao tribal clan's young geniuses would not even have enough to eat, so how could they use it to power an airship?
To be able to ride an airship, one had to be rich or noble!
And now, in the Tao tribal clan, the person who owned an airship …
That person's identity was obvious. It was the mysterious girl in white!
Tao Yunxiao did not even know her name. He had only seen her from afar, and had only seen her side profile.
But this did not prevent Tao Yunxiao from developing feelings of admiration and desire to conquer the girl.
A powerful and mysterious girl who could make Thousand Households Zhang act so respectfully, naturally piqued the interest of the prideful Tao Yunxiao.
