Yun Xiaodao and Zhang De were walking at the front, but they were walking with great difficulty. Every step they took was very heavy. Originally, there were almost three hundred people behind them, but now, only one hundred remained.
There were also many bloodstains on the square, all of which were vomited by the disciples who could not bear it!
More than half an hour passed, Shen Xiang was covered in sweat. Although he did not walk, the pressure he was under was not small. Now, there were only a dozen people walking on the square.
Yun Xiaodao and Zhang De, one old and one young, were walking at the front, but blood was overflowing from their mouths. Their bodies were also covered in sweat. This was really a terrifying test of endurance!
Shen Xiang had heard Yun Xiaodao say that in the past years, many people failed to pass the second assessment!
Time passed little by little. Yun Xiaodao and Zhang De were only ten feet away from Elder Dan, but every step they took was very difficult, as if their feet weighed millions of jin.
Zhang De could not bear it anymore. He knelt on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood, but he still knelt and slowly moved forward. He had been outside for so long, and had already been ridiculed by many people. Now, he was only a step away from passing the second assessment, so he could not give up!
Yun Xiaodao and Zhang De were eliminated in this assessment before, so they were deeply aware of the difficulty of this assessment. Therefore, when they learned that Shen Xiang was given "special care", they knew that Shen Xiang had no chance!
Although Yun Xiaodao was only sixteen years old, he was actually more formidable than Zhang De. He was actually able to walk through. When he arrived behind Elder Dan, the pressure suddenly disappeared. He was lying on his back on the ground, gasping for breath. He also swallowed a handful of dans to quickly recover, because the next assessment was even more terrifying than the previous one!
"Old man Zhang, hold on!" Yun Xiaodao clenched his fists and shouted. He knew this kind of hardships, and understood the feeling of wanting to pass the assessment.
"Ah..." Zhang De issued a loud roar, and finally, he "walked" to the other end of the square with his knees. At this time, others fell down one after another, choosing to give up, and some were seriously injured.
Out of the three hundred people, only two could pass the test! Shen Xiang had been standing behind them the whole time. He had seen with his own eyes how embarrassed and helpless those who had given up were when they left!
Now, only Shen Xiang had not started yet. Everyone could not understand why the high and mighty Elder Dan would have prejudice against Shen Xiang. Although Shen Xiang's actions were very surprising, they also believed that it was something that Shen Xiang must do!
"Shen Xiang, it's your turn! It's fine if you choose to give up now. Otherwise, you'll definitely suffer a lot of physical pain later on. It might even ruin your future. " Elder Dan's voice was incomparably gloomy and cold. Everyone found it hard to understand why she hated Shen Xiang so much. After all, Shen Xiang was just a small fry. Was there a need to be hated by an influential figure of the Chenwu Mainland?
Shen Xiang himself did not know how he had offended this mysterious Elder Dan.
"Never give up!" Shen Xiang's voice was firm and powerful. It spread in all directions. At this time, all the onlookers thought that Shen Xiang was also being tortured by the pressure. However, he was still able to stand there straight. This kind of strength was not something they could compare with.
Around the square, there were still many people who had not yet left. There were True Martial Realm experts, Inner Sect Disciples, and also Outer Sect Disciples who had just failed the test. They all wanted to see how Elder Dan would treat Shen Xiang.
"Then let's start!" Elder Dan said in a low voice.
Just as her voice fell, everyone felt a burst of hot Qi wave gushing out from the square. What shocked everyone the most was that they saw those thick and sturdy huge bricks in the square actually undulate up and down like the sea.
Immediately after, a violent tremor spread out. It was as if the entire Taiwu Gate was shaking, and those thick bricks in the square were shattered into pieces!
The next scene made everyone suck in a mouthful of cold air. Those special bricks actually turned into powder in an instant. What was unexpected was that under the bricks, there was actually a layer of metal, which looked very sturdy.
An old man picked up a brick and threw it into the square. In just a moment, that brick was shattered into pieces. This kind of pressure was even stronger than what Yun Xiaodao and the others had experienced a moment ago. Moreover, it was also very hot.
"Come behind me, and you'll be considered to have passed this test!" Elder Dan had been standing there all along and had not moved. However, the entire square had instantly turned into a sea of lava.
Shen Xiang's body was sweating even more. He could feel that the pressure he was withstanding was several times more than before. This was very frightening.
Everyone held their breath and stared at Shen Xiang. His body was burning with flames. His clothes could not withstand the scorching True Qi released by Elder Dan, and in a flash, they were burned.
However, nothing happened to Shen Xiang. He was actually able to withstand this kind of temperature. Moreover, he was also able to release flames to cover the middle part of his body.
Shen Xiang's strong muscles were incomparably red. Although the pressure had increased, his waist was still straight, and his eyes were still clear. He looked straight at Elder Dan's burning eyes in the distance.
Shen Xiang took a step forward, and his body fiercely shook. The metal floor was very hot, but he cultivated the [Vermillion Bird Divine Ability], which allowed him to resist this kind of scorching heat.
Seeing Shen Xiang start to move, everyone was shocked. They did not think that Shen Xiang could actually move in this kind of situation. One must know that even Inner Sect Disciples did not dare to try! Shen Xiang was just an Outer Sect Disciple, and his strength was only at the 9th level of the Mortal Martial Realm.
Shen Xiang walked very slowly, because every step was very difficult. He used all the True Qi in his body to support his body. That was the Universal True Qi, but it was still very difficult for him to walk.
Half an hour passed, and Shen Xiang's every step was clearly seen by everyone. Although it was a short distance, Shen Xiang seemed to have walked for hundreds of years.
"Humph!" Elder Dan coldly snorted, and Shen Xiang spat out a mouthful of blood. Everyone could see that Elder Dan had increased the pressure.
This was very unfair. Although everyone thought so in their hearts, they did not say it out loud. They knew that Shen Xiang would not be able to finish this section of the road, but they admired Shen Xiang. Shen Xiang knew that the road was very difficult, but he did not give up. He clenched his teeth and walked forward.
Time slowly passed, and Shen Xiang's every step shocked everyone's heart. Everyone thought that after Shen Xiang finished walking, he would definitely fall down. However, Shen Xiang did not. Instead, he continued walking step by step. He spat out mouthful after mouthful of blood, which fell on the metal floor and instantly evaporated.
"I said that you want to stay in the Outer Sect to temper yourself. You have to honestly stay here. I will not let you pass the second assessment!" Elder Dan's voice was unexpectedly trembling. Apparently, she was angry. She did not expect that Shen Xiang would actually be able to arrive in front of her.
