Profound Heaven Sect, outer sect examination deacon's hall.

In the morning, the Main Hall was quiet and serene as usual. A thin middle-aged man wearing a dark grey robe sat cross-legged within the Main Hall. The surrounding Heaven and Earth Essence Qi gathered within his body under the guidance of his Innate True Qi, endlessly growing.

"Creak …" "Yah …"

The sound of the wooden door opening caused the middle-aged man to frown slightly. He stopped his cultivation and looked towards the entrance of the hall.

The two wooden doors of the Main Deacon Hall opened, and a figure dressed in the clothes of a miscellaneous disciple walked in.

When he saw who it was, the middle-aged man frowned even more and spoke with a displeased tone: "Wu Zhengyang, what are you doing here so early in the morning?"

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Wu Zhengyang still had a trace of hatred in his heart.

His name was Zhang Tie, and he was a deacon of the outer court in charge of Wu Zhengyang's group of miscellaneous disciples.

As Zhang Tie was a very worldly man, he had a good reputation among the miscellaneous disciples. It was Zhang Tie's fault that Wu Zhengyang was able to obtain that defective Red Wood Fruit; however, because of his inexperience, Wu Zhengyang's unintentional words had caused him to lose a bit of face.

Before last night, the dispirited Wu Zhengyang could even be said to want to eat Zhang Tie alive. However, now that he had seen Zhang Tie again, Wu Zhengyang was quite calm. If it were not for Zhang Tie's revenge, Wu Zhengyang might not have encountered that mysterious black whirlpool and might not have appeared here.

In this final month, as long as a miscellaneous disciple had activated their true qi, they could come here to be tested and become an outer sect disciple, and become an official disciple of the Mysterious Sky Sect.

If nothing unexpected happened, the first one to come here today should be Yue Liqing.

However, things were unpredictable. Yue Liqing, who should have been here, was now screaming with pain everywhere. Everyone thought that Wu Zhengyang would be chased down the mountain, but he was the first one to arrive here.

"Deacon Zhang!" Wu Zhengyang called him with a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing.

"What is it?" Did he know that he was unable to stimulate his zhenqi and was preparing to leave the mountain ahead of time? "There's no need to tell me. Just leave by yourself!" Zhang Tie snappily said.

He did not have a good impression of Wu Zhengyang, and now that his training had been interrupted, he did not even give Wu Zhengyang any face. After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and prepared to continue his training.

"I'm here to take the outer court test." Wu Zhengyang continued.

"What?" Zhang Tie suddenly opened his eyes and asked in disbelief.

"I'm here to take the outer court test." Wu Zhengyang said again.

"Did you eat the Red Wood Fruit that I carefully preserved for you yesterday? The outer sect examination is only conducted after the activation of one's true qi. Are you looking to die? "

Zhang Tie suspected that this guy was here to cause trouble. If it were not for his status, he would have kicked Wu Zhengyang out.

"I'll take the outer court test!" Wu Zhengyang didn't want to waste his breath on Zhang Tie at all, so he repeated it three times clearly.

"Good, very good!" Zhang Tie suddenly burst out laughing. He had been driven mad by Wu Zhengyang just now. Now, he finally understood that since this guy was courting death, it would be better to fulfill his wish.

"Follow me!" Zhang Tie then stood up and mocked Wu Zhengyang.

Now, even if Wu Zhengyang didn't want to go now, Zhang Tie would definitely drag him over.

However, Wu Zhengyang had no intention to go back on his words at all. He immediately followed Zhang Tie to the back hall...

In the ancient martial world, the strong were supreme, there was no such thing as a tie!

As an ancient martial artist, his realm could be the same, but his combat power was divided between the strong and the weak. This was the law of the jungle.

Under such rules, the entire world was filled with endless battles. For the sake of the treasures, for the sake of grudges, for the sake of the glory of the world!

Everything was influenced by these rules, including the Profound Heaven Sect's outer sect examination.

At this moment, Wu Zhengyang was standing in the back hall, in front of a special door of the outer sect examination. It was a huge stone mirror with a dense mirror surface.

Even though it was an examination, it wasn't just a test to see if the other party was triggering his zhenqi.

According to Wu Zhengyang's knowledge, this stone mirror was called Dao Seeking. Inside the mirror, there were nine puppets personally crafted by the founder of the Mysterious Sky Sect.

After triggering true qi, regardless of strength, speed, or physical toughness, it would all be greatly enhanced by the influx of true qi into the body.

This puppet in the mirror was a test and also a training partner.

They would let the disciples who had just stepped into the Ancient Martial Arts Realm fully understand themselves and stimulate their potential in battle.

"Why aren't you entering? Scared? " Zhang Tie urged impatiently from behind.

Generally speaking, as long as one activated their true qi, the results of the examination would be decided. They would only be seeing which puppet they could make it to.

However, without the activation of one's true qi, it was impossible for an ordinary person to pass the examination. There had been people who had been unwilling to give up and tried, only death awaited them in the end.

In Zhang Tie's opinion, this Wu Zhengyang must have lost all hope and was looking for his own path to death. However, since this blind brat was courting death, there was no need for him to stop him. He could just watch him enter and wait for the next person to come and collect the corpse for him.

Hearing Zhang Tie's urging, Wu Zhengyang didn't respond. Instead, he walked towards the Dao Seeking Mirror.

As if walking through a water screen, a brand-new space appeared in front of Wu Zhengyang.

This was a vast wilderness. The yellow land stretched as far as the eye could see. The blue sky had no sun, but it emitted a comfortable light.

In this endless wilderness, there was only a single black shadow. Needless to say, this was the first puppet to be tested.

The black shadow saw Wu Zhengyang and ran towards him.

At this time, Wu Zhengyang finally saw that it was a tiger-like puppet. It stood in front of Wu Zhengyang and suddenly jumped up, one of its front claws striking towards Wu Zhengyang.

The Tiger Golem's attack was simple, but so was Wu Zhengyang's attack.

"Bang …"

The fist that was quickly thrown out collided with the front claws of the tiger puppet. Wu Zhengyang slightly shook his body and the tiger puppet was sent flying.

"After the zhenqi enters my body, its power is indeed boundless!" Wu Zhengyang and Yue Liqing's fight only lasted for an instant. He didn't have the time to experience it carefully. Now that he had purposely punched out, Wu Zhengyang could truly feel the change in his power.

Just then, the tiger puppet on the ground rushed forward again. Wu Zhengyang did not stop and waved his fists as he rushed forward.

"Bang …"

This time, the tiger puppet didn't even have the time to use its claws and got hit on the head by Wu Zhengyang's punch. His four limbs went soft and he fell to the ground.

After that, Wu Zhengyang waved his fist again and again, each of his fist ruthlessly struck the puppet tiger's body, leaving it with no way to fight back. It couldn't even get up, it could only lie on the ground and endure.

In the end, the Tiger Golem was unable to take it any longer. Its body transformed into a pile of black substance and fell to the ground...
