C4 Compete in Speed
The night passed uneventfully. They had spent all of their time cultivating. The next morning, Meng Hao withdrew from his cultivation state and changed into a brand new gray robe. This was the uniform of the outer circle disciples.
Meng Hao tidied up his clothes slightly, then walked towards the designated location for the inner circle disciples' assessment. This was a very long passageway. All the outer circle disciples who participated in this assessment had to compete in this passageway to determine their ranking.
"Hehe, everyone has arrived quite early. A total of 368 inner circle disciples had arrived, so let's start the assessment now. Work hard, you're the best! "the beautiful instructor said in a sweet voice.
" All disciples, get ready. The finish line is right in front of you. Charge, the examination begins! "An elder stepped forward and shouted. The disciples who had participated in the examination all rushed into the passageway when they heard this. They all used all their strength to run towards the finish line.
Meng Hao also dashed into the passageway like the other disciples. In just a few minutes, the disciples who were participating in the examination were divided into several batches. He Jun and Hong Tao, the two outer circle disciples who were ranked first and second, were divided into ten batches. Neither of them allowed the other to be on par with each other.
Zhou Mo, Ling Fei, Sima Yun, and the others were ranked second. They were nearly twenty meters away from He Jun and Hong Tao. Meng Hao and the dozens of disciples were the third to arrive. They were nearly thirty meters away from Zhou Mo and the others who were the second to arrive.
Meng Hao was leisurely running forward, but he wasn't in a hurry to speed up. He had always been ranked tenth. Now, he did not want to expose his strength too early. He Jun and Hong Tao weren't simple either. It would be much easier for him to let the two of them spend more effort before surpassing them.
Gradually, some of the disciples couldn't keep up with him for the third time. They were left behind by the others. Meng Hao gradually closed the distance between him and Zhou Mo and the others for the second time. After that, he continued to fly forward.
About an hour later, Meng Hao rose from the eighth place to the fifth. He was only one person away from Zhou Mo.
Finally, Meng Hao surpassed the fourth disciple and hung closely behind Zhou Mo. Zhou Mo felt the strong wind coming from behind him. He turned his head and looked back. A familiar face was reflected in his eyes.
Zhou Mo was stunned for a moment, then his face revealed a fierce light. His body shook, and a huge force rushed towards Meng Hao. He was thinking in his heart, "Kid, you think you can fight me for the third place? Go to hell!
Meng Hao had been paying attention to Zhou Mo for a long time, because he knew that Zhou Mo was a despicable person who would definitely attack him. Therefore, just as a fierce light flashed across Zhou Mo's eyes, Meng Hao had already prepared himself.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Before the force hit Meng Hao, Meng Hao suddenly accelerated and dashed to the right side of Zhou Mo. He surpassed Zhou Mo and landed five meters behind him.
"You actually dodged my attack. Then die!" Zhou Mo was shocked at first, and then a ferocious smile appeared on his face. His face became distorted, and he clenched his fists tightly. Then, he threw a punch at Meng Hao who was retreating.
"Second phase Low-grade Soul Skill, Leopard Shadow Fist!"
A cheetah phantom appeared on Zhou Mo's fist. As his fist was thrown out, the cheetah phantom turned into a ray of light and violently smashed towards Meng Hao's back. Its imposing manner caused the many disciples behind to be secretly shocked.
"Zhou Mo has actually attacked, and he is also an unknown disciple. It seems like that famous disciple is not weak at all. Otherwise, Zhou Mo would not be able to use the Soul Skill," a young man who was running at full speed said in a soft voice.
"Ai, it seems like that unknown disciple is a dark horse. I wonder if we will have the chance to befriend him," another young man who was rushing forward couldn't help but sigh.
The disciple who was walking side by side with him said in a speechless manner, "Don't be sentimental. We can't befriend such a person. Geniuses have their own pride. The most important thing is to obtain a good ranking."
At this moment, Meng Hao was advancing at full speed. When he sensed the sharp Qi coming from behind, he couldn't help but smile. The corner of his mouth revealed a sinister expression as if his plot had succeeded.
Meng Hao suddenly turned around and threw a punch at the phantom leopard. The fist was flashing with lightning sparks as it forcefully collided with the phantom of the cheetah. He didn't seem afraid at all.
"You dare to take my Soul Skill with your bare hands? Since you want to die... Zhou Mo looked at Meng Hao who was trying to take his Soul Skill with his bare hands. He couldn't help but feel slightly happy. His body suddenly trembled as he moved forward. His hands quickly formed seals in the air. As the seal fell, the shadow of the cheetah became even more ferocious.
Boom! Boom!!
With a loud sound, the fist that was flashing with lightning arcs collided with the cheetah phantom. A shocking explosion suddenly erupted, and the leopard's shadow gradually dimmed. Although it had broken through Meng Hao's fist force, its power was also much weaker. Finally, it crashed into Meng Hao's chest in front of everyone's surprised eyes.
"It's over. This dark horse is going to die prematurely." This was the thought in the minds of all the disciples. However, just as everyone thought that Meng Hao would be injured by Zhou Mo and would not be able to continue participating in the examination... When Zhou Mo also thought that Meng Hao would be injured by him, something unexpected happened.
Meng Hao, who had been sent flying backwards, pointed twice in the air and flew forward at lightning speed. He didn't look like he had been injured. It was obvious that everything had gone according to his plan.
"Meng Hao, I'm going to shred you into a thousand pieces. How dare you, a piece of trash, scheme against me?!" Zhou Mo couldn't help but roar. Clearly, he understood that all of this was planned by Meng Hao. His goal was to use his own strength to increase his speed. This way, He Jun and Hong Tao would be able to shorten the distance between them.
"What the heck? This is fine. That dark horse is too powerful!" Many disciples were so shocked that they couldn't speak. Some of them even cursed.
"Eh? What a shrewd little fellow! Why didn't I know that there was actually such a shrewd disciple amongst the outer court disciples?" An outer court elder first praised, and then a wisp of doubt appeared in his eyes.
"He's the Meng Hao that the outer circle disciples called trash. In these five years, his strength hasn't improved at all. He's unable to cultivate the Martial Soul, and he doesn't have a natural Martial Soul either. However, I'm afraid this isn't the case. Judging from his Qi, he has already reached the fifth level of the Profound realm. The other outer circle Sect Elder clearly knew Meng Hao. But at this moment, his face was also filled with surprise.
"Yo, it seems like he's still a little guy with secrets! I like him, it seems like I'll have to get in touch with him..." A strong interest appeared in the eyes of the beautiful inner sect elder and the inner sect disciple instructor next to the two outer sect elders. This made the other two outer sect elders feel helpless.
Speaking of which, with the help of Zhou Mo, Meng Hao was still only two meters away from Hong Tao, and He Jun was only a little bit faster than Hong Tao. Therefore, the three of them had the chance to win the championship.
"I never expected that there would be someone who can catch up to us. Looks like even you don't have the confidence to take the first place." Hong Tao glanced at Meng Hao who was behind him and said with a loud laugh.
When He Jun heard this, he simply ignored Hong Tao and continued to run like crazy. At this moment, Meng Hao raised his head and looked forward. The exit had already appeared in his line of sight, and he couldn't help but smile.
"Senior brothers, take your time. Junior brother will be leaving first." Meng Hao laughed loudly. His body suddenly accelerated, instantly surpassing the two of them. He Jun let out a cold snort when he saw this. His body shook, and a sharp force rushed towards Meng Hao's back. Obviously, he didn't intend to let Meng Hao surpass him so easily.
Meng Hao's body trembled when he saw this. An even sharper force rushed towards the force behind him, instantly dissolving He Jun's force. Moreover, the force continued to attack He Jun.
He Jun's body slightly paused. He stretched out his hand to cut off the fierce force. Just as He Jun's body slightly paused, Hong Tao suddenly increased his speed, surpassing He Jun and following closely behind Meng Hao.
He Jun couldn't help but be furious. He had actually fallen from the first position to the third position. How could these disciples see this? Thus, he circulated the soul force in his body and prepared to use his Soul Skill.
But at this moment, Meng Hao and Hong Tao rushed out of the passageway first. He Jun followed closely behind. The Soul Skill that he was about to unleash was also dispersed by him. Now that they had all left the passageway, the first round of the examination could be considered to have ended. He didn't dare to attack Meng Hao in front of the beautiful female inner sect instructors.
Not long after Meng Hao, Hong Tao, and He Jun rushed out of the passageway, Zhou Mo also rushed out. When he saw Meng Hao, a cold light flashed across his eyes, but he didn't dare to act out. He was also afraid of the beautiful female inner circle instructor.
Not long after, the other disciples also rushed over. Every disciple was so tired that they were gasping for air. At this time, the beautiful instructor smiled and said, "Hehe, you did very well. The top thirty can be promoted to inner sect disciples. However, there will be another test in a month's time, those who have yet to reach the fifth Xuan Qi layer will be stripped of their inner sect disciples' identity cards. Go back to the outer sect and continue cultivating
After a pause, he continued:" The top three will come to me to receive their rewards. As for the second test, it will be carried out in the afternoon. Those who think they have the ability can take the initiative to participate, I won't force them "
After that, the disciples went to the side to rest. Meng Hao was the first to walk to the beautiful instructor's side. The beautiful instructor looked at Meng Hao and said with a smile, "Not bad. Work hard. The instructor thinks highly of you."
Meng Hao naturally knew that the beautiful teacher in front of him was very beautiful, but he did not care at all. In his eyes, only cultivation was important, and nothing else was important. So he smiled and said, "The teacher is flattering me. I am still far from it."
The beautiful tutor did not say anything more. With a wave of her hand, a Soul Skill appeared in her palm. Then she handed it to Meng Hao and said with a smile, "This Soul Skill is a Soul Skill that all inner sect disciples have cultivated before. It's a second phase high-grade Soul Skill," Wandering Dragon Palm. "When it's cultivated to completion, it's like a swimming dragon has appeared. It's a very good Soul Skill." After saying that, she waved her hand for a while, and two stalks of "Spirit Heart Grass" fell into Meng Hao's hands at the same time.
Meng Hao took the Soul Skill and Spirit Heart Grass and bowed to the instructor. "Disciple will take his leave now." When he saw the beautiful instructor nod her head, he slowly retreated.
At this time, Hong Tao and He Jun walked over together and walked to Meng Hao's side. He Jun said faintly, "Meng Hao, I will remember what happened today. Just you wait. Hong Tao smiled and said, "Junior Brother Meng Hao, you can come to me if you need anything in the future. We are all outer sect disciples who have been promoted to the inner sect." So we have to help each other.
Meng Hao gave him a friendly smile and said, "Thank you." Then, he walked to a deserted place and started cultivating...
