C17 Chen feng

"Go!"

Following the Great Elder's words, all the outer sect disciples rushed wildly towards the other side of the square just like the flood discharge.

Hundreds of people flew past the square like a mass of dark clouds and arrived in front of a gigantic wall of the mountain. The mountain wall was at least a few hundred meters tall and was as smooth as a mirror.

The first round was to test the strength of the Genuine Qi. One should first step onto this mountain wall and then enter the path in it. If one could enter safely, he would pass the first round.

For the first round of former years, the pass rates were all over 99 percent. Anyone who dared to participate in the inner sect exams would naturally have the confidence to pass. In other words, at least a few hundred people here would be able to pass, and with so many people having passed the test, it would naturally be impossible for all of them to participate in the second round.

Therefore, half of the people who passed the first round weren't able to participate in the second round, and they were exactly the second half of who passed the first round.

In order to pass early, the crowd went crazy. After arriving in front of the mountain wall, they took their breaths, and with a tap of their feet, they rushed onto the mountain wall. At the same time, they took advantage of the shallow pits on the mountain wall to step and breathe again.

"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"

After a few jumps, a disciple dressed in green clothes flew into the mountain cave that was a hundred meters away from the wall. Just before he entered the cave, he turned his head and a cold, confident smile flashed across his eyes.

This man was Wang Meng.

Wang Meng had the strength of the sixth Stage of Genuine Qi, so it was reasonable for him to be so fast, but just as Wang Meng’s feet landed on the ground, another figure, like a big bird, quickly flew up. Its speed was actually just slightly slower than Wang Meng.

This was an unfamiliar young man. He was very handsome. His eyes were as bright as stars, and the aura he gave off was also that of a Sixth Stage of the Genuine Qi. Wang Meng didn't know him. Seeing the youth, Wang Meng was clearly startled once more.

The youth sneered at Wang Meng and entered the cave.

"Dammit, where did this brat come from? The walking method he used was actually a Second-Rate Combat Technique." Wang Meng cursed angrily in his heart. He felt that he had met a powerful counterpart. Originally, he had been sure to win the first place but his dream of entering the core seemed to be a little harder because of the appearance of this youth.

Wang Meng rushed into the cave.

"Damn it, don’t rush."

"Motherf * cker, don't step on my head."

"Get the hell down here."

The people who had run quite fast entered successfully and easily followed by those who had run either too fast nor too slow and those who just followed the crowd. It turned out to be messy as hundreds of people ploughed to rush in.

Although the mountain wall was very big and there were many caves, it was unable to allow several hundred people dashed to the top at the same time. Thus, when these people soared into the air and had nowhere to step on, they subconsciously stepped on the newcomers’ head or shoulders, took a breath and went on.

Things like stepping on the others’ head or shoulders happened every now and then. Angry curses and roars fell and rose. The scene was extremely chaotic.

"F * ck off, I am Ke Xue. Who dares to fight with me over this."

An angry curse came from the crowd. Then, a disciple in green clothes rose into the air, stepped on a person's shoulder and then stepped on another's head, soaring up once again.

Just as he was feeling proud, he felt someone step on his head and a clear footprint appeared. After that, his soaring body slowed down and fell down.

"Zi Chen, damn, we’ll see."

Just as he was falling, Ke Xue saw Zi Chen flying overhead and cursed in unwillingness. After that, he dropped to the ground with a thump.

Ke Xue dropped to the ground. He roared again, and again he stepped on the two people in the air one after the other as footholds. However, following that, he felt a fragrant wind caress his face his head was once again stepped on by someone, and his body fell down again.

"You, motherf*...!"

Ke Xue raised his head, and was about to curse angrily, but he actually saw a cute and mischievous figure. It was actually Lin Xue. Before the curses could be finished, Ke Xue stopped and dropped to the ground. But one could faintly hear a curse, "Zi Chen, you motherf*cker, we’ll see."

It turned out that he had owed that to Zi Chen as well.

When Miao Kong arrived in front of the mountain wall, he jumped off from the ground and his figure became exceptionally nimble just like a swallow. His walking methods was profound and seemed to be even more elegant than Zi Chen's. He only needed to take a few “footholds” in the air before he arrived at the entrance of the cave.

Miao Kong also stepped on people's heads as his footholds, but nobody was forced to drop to the ground. He was as light as a swan.

"Let's go."

Zi Chen was at the edge of the cave, seeing the two of them coming up, he indicated for them to go forward.

As soon as they entered the cave, a pressure appeared forced the three of them to suddenly stop.

"Be careful, there is a pressure inside this cave, which is used as a test of strength. If it's a person at the fourth stage of the Genuine Qi, facing this pressure, will be greatly obstructed and slow down. When facing the attacks of the wooden people, it will be difficult for him to dodge." Just as they entered the cave, Lin Xue said to the two of them.

"Hu!"

A gust of wind followed Lin Xue's words and rushed towards Zi Chen’s face. Zi Chen waved his fist, and activated all of his strength to strike in front of him.

"Bang."

Following a dull sound, Zi Chen took two steps back. In front of him, a two-meter-tall wooden man also staggered backwards.

Seeing Zi Chen's simple attack force the wooden man to retreat, Miao Kong and Lin Xue's eyes changed, and they looked at Zi Chen as though they were looking at a monster.

"You're at the fifth stage of the Genuine Qi, yet you're able to punch back the wooden man?"

"Is this really that strong?" Zi Chen frowned.

"Isn't it strong? Just look at them!" Miao Kong rolled his eyes and indicated for Zi Chen to look forward.

Zi Chen looked forward only to find those at fifth stage of the Genuine Qi who had already entered before them, were all trying to dodge facing the wooden men. None of them dared to fight the wooden men head on. It was rare for Zi Chen to find a person who did fight a wooden man head on but after that, he was pushed back seven or eight meters in one strike of the wooden man. However, the wooden thing stood still.

"It seems very powerful." Zi Chen muttered.

The two of them were both speechless. They kept on moving.

“Ah!”

However, at this moment, a miserable cry suddenly sounded out from behind the two. A disciple in green just came in but he could not help but kneel down facing this pressure. Then, the wooden man hit him and he flew out of the cave entrance.

"Alas, let's go, there are people who don't believe every year. Even if someone at the fourth stage of Genuine Qi climbed up the cliff to here, he would still face the pressure and wooden men. If one falls from such a high place, he will at least be heavily injured if not dead. The whole life will be crippled.” Miao Kong let out a low sigh, and then, indicated for them to continue walking.

Immediately after, there were two more miserable shrieks from behind. It was obvious that two more people at the peak of the fourth stage were trying to enter but were stopped by the pressure and sent out by the wooden men.

The people at the fifth stage of the Genuine Qi could move as if they were unimpeded, but it was extremely difficult for those at the fourth stage of the Genuine Qi to just walk here. Zi Chen was very doubted of the pressure here.

"It is said that this cave was built personally by the Grand Elder of Spirit Martial Sect for the examination. In all these years, there has never been a single mistake." Noticing Zi Chen's doubt, Lin Xue explained.

With Su Mengyao as a good friend, Lin Xue naturally knew many secrets about the Spirit Martial Sect.

"Grand Elder, isn't the strongest person in Spirit Martial Sect the Great Elder?" Miao Kong asked in doubt.

"I don't know that either. It was said by Senior Sister Mengyao." Lin Xue said.

They quickly passed through the cave. In front of them was an even larger square, and a lot of disciples from both inner and outer sects had already gathered here.

The highest stage of the inner sect examination was focus on only the Fifth Stage of the Genuine Qi. So it naturally did not interest any inner sect disciple. However, this time, there were many inner sect disciples gathering here.

Some were here because Su Mengyao had come here. Apart from these people, some were extremely curious about who exactly was the little fellow that was lucky enough to enter the core this time.

One must know, becoming a core disciple was their dreams.

Su Mengyao came here and so did Wang Xiong. Compared with Su Mengyao, Wang Xiong was practically negligible. But on the square, other than Su Mengyao in white, there was another person who received quite a bit of attention.

It was a young man in black, with starry eyes and sword-like eyebrows. He stood there with an abnormally indifferent expression, yet cool and handsome. Even if a man saw him, the man could not help but look at him again and again definitely.

The black clothing was the symbol of a core disciple. And this young man was able to stand beside Su Mengyao as if they were a pair of lovers, which attracted even more attention.

There were many female disciples of the inner sect that looked at the young man in black, their eyes releasing a splendor, wishing that they could replace Su Mengyao and stand beside him.

"It's him?"

When Zi Chen and the others came out, Lin Xue was very surprised to see the young man in black.

"Who is he?"

Zi Chen also saw the young man in black beside Su Mengyao. And he didn’t know why his heart hurt and felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw the two who were well-matched. Maybe this was a common ailment of men. No matter how he looked at the two, he didn’t think they were matched at all.

"Chen Feng, the No. 1 among the core disciples, is also the direct disciple of the Sect Master. And he will be the next Sect Master." Lin Xue looked at Chen Feng with a complicated expression and explained softly.

Zi Chen's face changed slightly, every title of that man showed that he was not somebody that Zi Chen could match. He and Chen Feng were not in the same class just like an eagle and an ant. Just as he was stunned by Chen Feng’s status, Zi Chen didn’t notice the complicated expression on Lin Xue's face.

When Lin Xue came out, Su Mengyao naturally saw her. Her indifferent expression was finally replaced by a hint of a smile.

Chen Feng stood by Su Mengyao and there was no one but Su Mengyao in his eyes. As he saw Su Mengyao smile, he turned his head and saw Lin Xue and Zi Chen and Miao Kong beside her. And a hint of a faint smile appeared on his cool face.

Here, Su Mengyao and Chen Feng received naturally much more attention than the elders. Both of them smiled and smiled at the same direction, so many people looked towards here.

They saw Zi Chen and Miao Kong, but intentionally ignored them. Miao Kong had a pair of small eyes and his appearance was ordinary. As for Zi Chen, although he was very handsome, handsome men were everywhere so he wasn’t something rare. Only Lin Xue, who was a little shy, was the only one that lit up everyone's eyes.
