C74 One Man Bridge
After the meal, most of the martial artists that came to take the assessment had gone back to their own rooms to cultivate.
This was not the case for Liu Dao.
After confirming that no one was paying attention to him, Liu Dao walked out of the door and quietly left the temporary residence for the candidates. However, he was stopped by the students assigned by the academy.
"The academy is in front of us, and students are not allowed to enter unless they are official students of the academy. Sir, it's best if you return." The student on duty said.
Liu Dao's face was full of flattery as he bowed and said, "Understood, I'm not trying to get over here. It's just that I have family members in the academy that are teachers and would like to meet them."
The student on duty frowned and refused, "This is a rule. Unless the teacher personally comes to pick you up, I can't let you pass."
"I understand, I won't make it difficult for you." Liu Dao took out a letter from his chest pocket and handed it to the student on duty: "This letter, please help me pass it to my uncle Liu Zheng Yong."
"Liu laoshi is your uncle?" The student on duty was shocked and hurriedly asked.
Liu Dao Zhong straightened his body and nodded: "Yes, I am his nephew Liu Dao."
After thinking for a moment, although the student on duty couldn't confirm Liu Dao's identity, he still couldn't offend a teacher's nephew. Since sending a letter in his place was not against the rules, he accepted the letter from Liu Dao and said: "If you trust me, I'll send it over, but you should prepare well. Tomorrow's assessment will not be simple."
"Yes, yes, yes!" I'm leaving now. " Liu Dao was overjoyed as he said, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"
Turning back, Liu Dao coldly muttered to himself, "Country bumpkin, I didn't think that I would have connections in the academy, right? I'll see how you're going to enter the academy then! "
At this moment, Qin Yuan was sitting cross-legged in his room, entering his sea of consciousness and discussing the Sword Qi of the Dao Seeking Peak with Ling'er.
Ling'er did not seem to have a high opinion of the sword qi, and said gently, "In my memory, it seems like the sword qi master used is much more powerful than the Intent Domain of Intent Domain … However, my master's understanding of the sword has greatly deteriorated. If I can comprehend that sword aura, then there will be quite a bit of improvement. "
Qin Yuan blushed with shame. Ling'er stubbornly believed that she was his master, and even believed that Qin Yuan's cultivation had regressed to such a state because of a huge battle. However, if Ling'er's memory was correct, then her master's cultivation could be described as heavenly.
Helpless, Qin Yuan braced himself to speak out some of his thoughts and discuss them with Ling'er.
The entire night passed in a cycle of Qin Yuan constantly bringing up his own ideas, being refuted by Ling'er, and then bringing up his own ideas again.
The second day came quickly. Qin Yuan's condition had reached its peak and he was ready to participate in the exam. As for Ah Cat, as a magical beast couldn't participate in the exam, he could only stay in the room and wait for Qin Yuan's return.
"Brother Qin, good morning!" He Dandan pushed open the door and happened to meet Qin Yuan, who was in the room diagonally across from her. She greeted him.
He Dandan still wore her ponytail high, and did not use rouge or cosmetic powder to decorate her face.
Qin Yuan could feel that He Dan's aura seemed to have increased. Although she still had some distance to go before she could advance to Martial Master, most of the Nine Star Warriors who came to participate in the exam were no match for her.
After the nine of them arrived, they all headed to the gathering point of the Alchemy Martial Academy's assessment, which was the location of the second test, "Single Man Bridge".
He had just arrived at the 'one man bridge', and there was already a sea of people there. It was estimated that there were no less than ten thousand people.
Moreover, even without discussing how many people had been stopped by the Dao Seeking Peak, only a hundred people would be able to pass the second round of the examination.
As there was a special connection between Martial Masters, Qin Yuan was able to immediately tell that out of the ten thousand people, there were only about ten people that had reached the Martial Master realm. Moreover, a few of their auras had reached the level of the two youths that had received them yesterday.
After getting rid of Qin Yuan, Yue Mo, and Zhan LingTian, only one out of the remaining ten people had an aura much higher than that of a 1-star Martial Master. It was likely that they were the young masters of the Bai Clan.
Yue Mo and Zhan Ling looked towards that direction at the same time, exchanging a glance before nodding in silence.
"That's the Young Lord of the branch of the Bai Clan's Darkhan Country?" Qin Yuan asked the two of them.
Zhan Ling replied with certainty, "Yes, that's him."
The young master of the Bai Clan's Darkhan Branch was called Bai Zhou. He had a five-star saint rank, Divine Speed Martial Seal, and was a two star Martial Master. Just from his appearance alone, he didn't look out of place in the crowd. However, his expression was filled with arrogance, as if the people around him were nothing more than ants to him.
Sensing the gazes of Qin Yuan and the others, Bai Zhou sneered and glanced at them before turning his head away. He did not place these aristocratic children in his eyes at all.
"What's there to be proud of!" Yue Mo pointed at Bai Zhou's back with his middle finger, "Not long ago was your cultivation one star higher than mine? "In a few years, let's see who will have the last laugh!"
He Qing Qing tried to advise Yue Mo a little more, but suddenly heard a voice from the front of the crowd. He said calmly and strongly, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am the teacher of the Alchemy Martial Academy, Liu Zheng Yong. I am in charge of this year's entrance examination. As you can see, there are twenty narrow bridges over the chasm ahead, which is the second stage of the test. Once the assessment has started, everyone can start from here, and the top 100 people will be able to pass the examination by themselves. "
"Eh? "It's Uncle Liu!" He Qing Qing looked at the path in surprise.
Liu Dao laughed and explained, "That's right. My uncle is currently teaching at the Alchemy Martial Academy. I just didn't expect him to be the one presiding over this assessment."
After a while, Qin Yuan followed the team and arrived at the starting line of the first thousand meters of the abyss. According to the words of the skinny middle-aged man who called himself Liu Zhengyong, he randomly chose a spot.
This starting line was several thousand meters wide, it was enough for all the martial artists who came to take the exam to stand side by side before the starting line.
As for the path in front of them, it got narrower and narrower, extending to a distance of a thousand meters. There were twenty separate bridges erected at that distance.
This scene couldn't help but remind Qin Yuan of the race on Earth. However, if these martial artists were to travel to Earth, they would be able to easily break the world record without using their Astral Energy.
Tens of thousands of people lined up in a row, quietly staring at the twenty bridges in front of them. Each of them started to circulate their different colored Supreme Qi.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Liu Zhengyong waved his hand and a red aura flew up into the sky. It was the signal to start running.
Seeing the signal rising up into the sky, all the participants of the assessment unleashed their Astral Qis and used all their strength to rush towards the bridge they had secretly chosen. It could be said to be a spectacular scene.
After all, Qin Yuan was a 1-star Martial Master. The speed of the Lightning and Hurricane Martial Seals had increased, allowing him to directly run to third place.
In front of him, besides Bai Zhou, who had a higher cultivation realm, was Zhan LingTian, who possessed a four star top grade Godly Speed Martial Seal.
Liu Dao was in the top 50-60. Looking at Qin Yuan leading the way, he felt angry, but then he smiled proudly and thought to himself, "Run. Do your best in the assessment." The higher you climb, the more painful your fall will be! "
A thousand meters was quite a distance for an ordinary person, but for a martial artist who came to participate in the assessment, it was less than a minute.
Soon, Qin Yuan arrived at the bridge he had chosen. Just as he was about to step on it, the fourth martial artist behind him suddenly exploded with speed, wanting to charge from the side.
If he was hit, then even if Qin Yuan wasn't knocked into the abyss, he would be forced to slow down or even stop. This amount of time was enough for the other martial artists following closely behind him to pass.
The rules of the second trial didn't say that no one was allowed to attack others. However, most people wouldn't do so either, as this would most likely affect their speed.
The martial artist charging at him was a 1-star Martial Master. Looking at his Supreme Qi, it seemed to be an explosive attribute. This was also why he dared to charge at him.
"Lightning attribute astral energy, hmph, your defense must be ordinary. If you take my attack, you'll fall into the abyss." The martial artist that was rushing over thought.
Actually, with his speed, even if someone behind him were to explode and surpass him, he would still be able to easily pass the second trial. There was absolutely no need to attack Qin Yuan like this. However, this person was a loner. Before he started running, he had seen Qin Yuan and his companions. He was worried that he would be attacked by a team in the third stage, so he planned to eliminate Qin Yuan at this moment.
"Go down!" The martial artist revealed a smile of success.
