C5
Soon, the second round of the examination had arrived. Only about ten disciples had participated in the second round. Meng Hao, Zhou Mo, Hong Tao, and He Jun were among them.
At this moment, the beautiful teacher said, "The location of your examination is in the stone rooms in front of us. Go in and fight with the Soul Beast. Fighting is the best way to increase your strength."
As soon as the beautiful teacher finished speaking, Meng Hao and the others rushed into the stone room. As Meng Hao was the champion of the first round, he had the priority to choose. Therefore, Meng Hao was the first to rush into the stone room, followed by Hong Tao and He Jun. After that were Zhou Mo and the remaining disciples who were participating in the exam.
As soon as Meng Hao stepped into the stone room, three huge Soul Beasts entered his sight. These three Soul Beasts were all wearing the same black armor. This was a Soul Beast that was ranked at the top of the intermediate First Grade Soul Beast, its name was "Devil Armor Leopard." Facing any one of them alone, without the strength of the sixth level of the Profound realm, one would not be able to defeat it. Not to mention, three of them had appeared all of a sudden. Meng Hao could not help but feel his scalp tingle.
"Let's give it a try first. If it really doesn't work, then give up." Meng Hao muttered to himself. He took the lead and rushed towards the Devil Armor Leopard on the left. At the same time, he threw a punch at it. The fist that was flashing with lightning arcs smashed directly at the Devil Armor Leopard.
Bang! Bang!!
The Devil Armor Leopard saw that someone was attacking it. It waved its huge claw at Meng Hao's fist. Under the attack, Meng Hao's body was forced back. Obviously, he was at a disadvantage. Meng Hao was slightly surprised. He didn't expect the Devil Armor Leopard to be so powerful.
"Looks like it's time to use the Soul Skill." Meng Hao sighed. Then, his body shook. Boundless soul force surged into the palm of his right hand. After that, his right hand seemed to have turned into a giant hand that was surrounded by lightning, and he leapt up into the air. He then struck out with his palm.
"Stage Two Upper Grade Soul Skill, Rushing Thunder Hand!"
With a low shout, a huge lightning palm appeared and pressed down on the three Devil Armor Leopards below. The three Demonic Armored Leopards sensed the danger and attacked at the same time. The three sharp claws clashed with the lightning hand. Immediately, a majestic force crashed onto the stone room's wall like a wave.
Roar!!!
The three demon armored leopards were sent flying by Meng Hao's attack and hit the stone wall. They were all injured. Immediately, the three demon armored leopards became angry and threw themselves at Meng Hao. They began to launch their most powerful attacks.
Meng Hao saw this and quickly retreated. The crazy Demonic Armored Leopards did not dare to take their attacks head-on, but even so, he was still chased by the Demonic Armored Leopards and ran all over the stone room. There were many wounds on his body.
"Thunder Lightning Martial Soul, come out!"
It was not possible to continue running, so Meng Hao decided to use the Martial Soul. He quickly formed seals with his hands, and then he shouted in a low voice. A shadow surrounded by lightning appeared behind him, and it looked very powerful.
"After chasing me for such a long time, it's time to stop." A ruthless look flashed across Meng Hao's eyes. It was obvious that he had been chased by the Devil Armor Leopard. He formed seals with his hands and slapped forward.
Following Meng Hao's palm strike, the Thunder Lightning Martial Soul behind him also unleashed a huge lightning palm. It violently smashed towards one of the Devil Armor Leopard. Its imposing manner was much fiercer than the 'Rushing Lightning Hand' that Meng Hao had used.
Boom! Boom!!
One of the Demonic Armored Leopards was unable to dodge in time, and was sent flying by the huge lightning palm, crashing into the stone wall. It was unknown whether it was dead or alive.
When the remaining two Demonic Armored Leopards saw this, a trace of fear appeared in their eyes. They retreated and looked at Meng Hao vigilantly. A smile appeared at the corner of Meng Hao's eyes. Immediately, both of his hands formed a seal.
"Second phase high-grade Soul Skill, Rushing Thunder Hand!"
When Meng Hao's cold voice resounded, his body moved and appeared in front of the two Devil Armor Leopards. His large hand, which was flickering with lightning, directly pressed down on the two Devil Armor Leopards.
The Soul Skill that he used after using the Martial Soul was many times more powerful than before. The two Demonic Armored Leopards were sent flying as soon as they raised their sharp claws to defend themselves. Although they didn't die when they landed on the ground, they were still heavily injured.
Meng Hao dispersed the Thunder Lightning Martial Soul and sat down on the ground, gasping for air. He couldn't exert any strength from his body. Now, he was only at the fifth level of the Profound realm. Using the Martial Soul to cast the Soul Skill consumed a lot of soul power. The last attack had consumed all the soul power in his body. Because of that, he didn't have any strength left.
"Although the Martial Soul is powerful, it's better to use it less in the future. No wonder most people don't use it easily even though they have the Martial Soul. It turns out that this thing consumes a lot of energy. "Meng Hao finally knew the pros and cons of using the Martial Soul in battle.
Just as Meng Hao was sitting on the ground to recover his soul power, the door of the stone room was opened. Three figures walked in. The leader was a beautiful teacher, and behind her were two outer sect elders. At this moment, their faces were filled with shock.
Because the monitor showed that the three Devil Armor Panthers in the room had been killed, the three of them were shocked. Then, they arrived at the stone room as fast as they could. When they saw that one of the Devil Armor Panthers had died and two were seriously injured, they were so shocked that they were speechless.
"Meng Hao, are you alright? This is the Profound Spirit Pill. It has a very good effect on the recovery of soul power for Profound Martial realm and Earthly Martial warriors. Quickly consume it." The beautiful instructor took out a pill to recover soul power and handed it to Meng Hao. She let him consume it.
"Thank you for your concern, instructor." Meng Hao first thanked her, then he did not stand on ceremony. Taking the Profound Spirit Pill and consuming it, he immediately felt that his soul force had actually recovered two levels. He could not help but feel a little surprised. He did not think that this Profound Spirit Pill would have such a powerful effect.
"Instructor, I guess I've passed..." Meng Hao stood up and smiled at the beautiful instructor. The beautiful instructor nodded and said, "En, I have passed. I think you have also condensed the Martial Soul. I just don't know what kind of Martial Soul you have condensed." Meng Hao smiled and nodded. He did not explain much. Even so, the beautiful instructor was still a little excited. This was a genius disciple. It seemed like he had to be properly nurtured.
"Meng Hao, let's go out," the beautiful instructor said, and took the lead to walk out. The two outer sect elders smiled kindly at him and followed him out. Meng Hao smiled helplessly and followed the three of them out of the stone room.
When Meng Hao and the three of them walked out of the stone room, everyone looked at Meng Hao in shock. It was as if Meng Hao was a monster, which made Meng Hao even more speechless.
The rest of the people had finished their tasks, except for He Jun and Hong Tao, who were working together with the three Soul Beasts. They had persisted for more than two hours, but none of them had passed the test. At this moment, the beautiful instructor said with a smile, "Only three people have passed the second round of the test. He Jun and Hong Tao are tied for second place. The first place is Meng Hao. He has successfully killed three Soul Beast. And he only suffered minor injuries.
" Damn! Meng Hao is so fierce! Isn't he just a piece of trash? " A disciple muttered to himself in doubt. Another disciple mocked, "You are too outdated. You don't even know that Meng Hao was hiding his true strength. His goal was to surprise everyone in this exam. When the disciples heard this, they had a look of sudden enlightenment on their faces.
The beautiful instructor smiled and said, "There are a total of thirty people who have become inner sect disciples. In the future, all of you can go to the inner sect disciples' area to cultivate. Also, remember to go to the Assignment Hall tomorrow to get three sets of your inner sect uniform."
After a pause, she continued, "He Jun and Hong Tao, you two go to the Compendium Pavilion tomorrow to choose a third phase Low-grade Soul Skill. I will greet the pavilion elder. Meng Hao, come with me. I have something to talk to you about."
As soon as she finished speaking, the beautiful instructor walked forward. Seeing this, Meng Hao had no choice but to follow her under the envious and jealous expressions of the crowd.
