C16 Mighty Elephant Martial Palace

People sing and dance in celebration of peace. The scene was feasting and revelry.

The jade fence was carved, but its color was changed!

This was an extremely bustling city, a place where authority, power, and beauty gathered. And thousands of unknown bones were buried under this piece of land covered in gold.

After leaving the Difeng Martial Mansion, Chu Hen found an inn to stay in alone.

The bright candlelight illuminated the simple, quiet chamber.

Chu Hen sat on the bed, his heart full of confusion.

"Why did this happen? Could it be that Li Gu deceived me? "

Chu Hen shook his head, and quickly rejected the idea. If Li Gu had lied to him on purpose, he would not have gifted him 30 Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones.

It seemed that there was some unknown problem.

Thinking back to the previous person who was in charge of registration at Difeng Martial Mansion, it seemed as if he had targeted Chu Hen to prevent him from entering the Martial Mansion.

"I wonder when Mentor Li Gu will return?"

Chu Hen's eyes congealed as he muttered to himself.

After some thought, Chu Hen raised his eyebrows. He had already made up his mind, with so many High-Class Martial Mansion, there was no need for him to be so stubborn about this one.

Not to mention, it was because Difeng rejected him, but not he abandoned Difeng.

As for Li Gu, when there's a chance in the future, he could just return the Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones to him.

"I'll do it that way!" Chu Hen took a deep breath, as his eyes flashed with bright light.

The next day!

Giant Elephant Martial Mansion!

The bustling morning was full of vitality.

Before the sky brightened, hundreds of young men and women had already gathered at the entrance of the Giant Elephant Martial Mansion.

These people were all here to register for the advanced institution's assessment, so as one of the five great higher ups of the Imperial Capital, there was no need to explain how attractive it was.

Among the crowd, Chu Hen was right there.

Brother Long Qingyang is a student of Giant Elephant Martial Mansion, so the Giant Elephant is naturally a priority for Chu Hen, .

The bustling scene seemed rather noisy.

Faint expressions of anticipation could be seen on the faces of every single young genius, but there were even more people who revealed expressions of worry. Who knew what the content of Giant Elephant Martial Mansion assessment was? How difficult would it be?

Chi chi!

Just then, the two tall and solemn bronze gates of Giant Elephant Martial Mansion opened.

The atmosphere became quiet in an instant as everyone turned to look at the same spot.

Under the anxious and expectant gazes of the crowd, a few profound practitioners wearing long gowns walked out. The middle-aged man in the lead had an extraordinary bearing, and his pair of calm eyes swept over the many young men and women in front of him.

"I am the Mentor in charge of your assessment, Lu Su."

As soon as he said this, the crowd was in a slight uproar.

"I won't speak any more nonsense. I'll start registering the basic information about the participants. After that, I'll begin preparing for the assessment." Lu Su's words were extremely direct.

However, most of the participants felt even more uneasy.

"You're carrying the examination so quickly? Aren't we supposed to wait until tomorrow? "

"I'm not even ready!"

"Enough nonsense, hurry up and queue up to register!"

The efficiency of Giant Elephant Martial Mansion was still very fast. Without any delay, the person in charge of registration wrote down the basic information on the personnel in a book.

The information contained three simple registrations: name, age, and place of residence.

After all, this was only an entrance examination. Only after passing would one be considered an official student of Giant Elephant Martial Mansion, and only then would one be necessary to offer a complete information of his background.

Roughly an hour later, over two hundred young men and women who had participated in the exam had finished registering.

Soon after, under the lead of Lu Su and the others, everyone entered the yard of Giant Elephant Martial Mansion, and were brought to a vast grounds.

In the center of the arena, there was a high stage. The length and width of the stage were all over a hundred. On the stage stood more than a dozen internal members of Giant Elephant Martial Mansion.

Lu Su and a few others walked straight up the stage.

Many young men and women among the crowd couldn't help but be affected by the faint nervous atmosphere.

Chu Hen, who was standing at the side of the crowd, swept his eyes across the surroundings with interest. From afar, he could see that the buildings of the Giant Elephant Martial Mansion were all extremely grand and tall, giving off a majestic aura.

Chu Hen was secretly amazed, the huge difference between the Young Sect College in Imperial Capital and the Young Sect College in Huoyan City was simply like the distance between the sky and the earth.

Lu Su briefly conversed with a few people on the platform, and then faced towards the crowd.

"I'm not a person who likes to talk too much nonsense. The examination is about to begin!"

"Roar!"

Just as he finished speaking, a sound of Demonic Beast's roar that was filled with deterrence suddenly swept out, and immediately after, even the ground began to faintly tremble.

Everyone's expression changed as they heard this. Turning around, they saw over twenty people pulling a huge cart over. On top of the cart was a thirty-meter tall iron cage. The black iron cage was encircled by a gigantic Demonic Beast that was over twenty meters tall.

The Demonic Beast's body was similar to a Savage Bear. Its abdomen had a white fur and its entire body was covered with dark brown scales. Under the rays of the sun, its scales shone with a dazzling luster.

"Damn, is that a 'Scale Armor Angry Bear'? This is a Great Demon! " An exclamation came from the crowd.

"It can't be that you want to give us this Great Demon for our assessment, right?"

"Then how can we do with it? Not to mention passing the examination, I probably won't even be able to keep my small life. "

Scale Armor Angry Bear, first level Great Demon.

Its strength was equivalent to rank one of Essence Mastering Stage cultivator. In addition to its enormous physique and astonishing defensive power, even a rank two cultivator of Essence Mastering Stage would not dare to rashly provoke it.

The world was big and all living things grew.

Since ancient times, humans and Demonic Beasts have coexisted in this world.

Due to the astonishing appearance and power of Demonic Beasts, the Holy Star Dynasty relied on vast land and abundant species, connecting all kinds of vast forests with Demonic Beasts. The forbidden mountain area did not lack some forces that had the ability to tame and raise young Demonic Beasts for their own use. There were also many powers who trained their Demonic Beast as a target to increase their combat ability.

The grading of Demonic Beast and human cultivators corresponded to each other.

The lowest level was young beasts, which were about the same as the Martial Arts of the Refinement Stage.

Then there were the Little Demons, which were equivalent to the warriors at the Vein Opening Stage. To ordinary people, they were very dangerous. The Great Demons corresponded to the the warriors at the Essence Mastering Stage. There were also Spiritual Beasts, Beast Kings, Beast Emperors and other super strong Vicious Beasts.

However, Giant Elephant Martial Mansion using a first level Demonic Beast, which was equivalent to rank one cultivator of Essence Mastering Stage, as the admittance test, made countless people present powerless and furious.

Isn't this playing trick with people?

Among the people participating in the assessment of this year, people at rank seven of Vein Opening Stage could already be called outstanding geniuses.

And the Scale Armor Angry Bear, could swallow a genius at rank seven of the Vein Opening Stage in one go.

Everyone had long thought that the examination of Giant Elephant Martial Mansion would be very difficult, but they never thought that it would be so difficult.

"Hmph. A bunch of cowards. Don't come if you're afraid of death!"

The crisp female voice was mixed with a faint hint of disdain.

Not far away, Chu Hen was astonished. He raised his head to look, only to see that the one who spoke was a slim and graceful girl wearing a white flowery dress.

The young girl had delicate facial features and was quite a beautiful woman.

In her slender jade-like hand, she held a gorgeous sword. The sword was sheathed, and there were resplendent gemstones embedded into its sheath. Obviously, this was most likely a young miss from a noble family.

As if sensing that someone was looking at her, the young lady turned her head, and could not help but look into Chu Hen's eyes.

Seeing that it was someone she didn't recognize, the young girl lightly frown. Chu Hen, on the other hand, did not have much expression on his face.

Bang.

The ground shook, and under everyone's cautious gaze, the iron cage containing the Scale Armor Angry Bear landed heavily on the stage. The angry bear opened its brown eyes and bared its fangs, which were as sharp as knives.

"Mentor Lu Su, the test won't be about dealing with this angry bear, right?" A question sounded in the crowd.

Lu Su smiled indifferently, and answered in a loud and clear voice, "You are only half right."

"Hmm?"

Everyone was somewhat startled. It looked like things weren't as difficult as they had imagined. There was still a turning point. However, Lu Su's following words disappointed their expectations.

"The content of the test is indeed to deal with this Scale Armor Angry Bear, but not all of you deal with it together. The assessment was divided into several rounds. Only fifty people could participate in each round. What you need to do is to endure the berserk attacks of the Scale Armor Angry Bear as long as you can until the moment when we think you can pass. "

"Boom!"

Hearing Lu Su's words, the crowd suddenly "whined". The students who had been slightly relieved earlier immediately cried out for God, cursing the Giant Elephant Martial Mansion and the Mentor Lu Su ten times in their heart.

Fifty cultivators of Vein Opening Stage against a Level One Great Demon.

If they were all students at rank seven of Vein Opening Stage or above, there was still hope. However, the students that came to take the examination were all different. Most of them were at rank five or seven, with only a small portion of them being above rank seven.

"Mentor, can we form our own team?" An inquiring voice came from the crowd.

By forming their own team, they could gather the strongest fifty people to defeat the Scale Armor Angry Bear. However, this way, it would be quite tough for those who were weaker to take the exam.

Lu Su's brows twitched, and he replied indifferently, "No, the contestants in each group will be randomly selected by us."

The entire arena was once again in chaos.

"If there are no questions, then the assessment will begin."

Lu Su and another young man who was not far away exchanged a glance. The latter understood tacitly, nodded, and opened the book that he had just registered.

"Next up is the contestants in the first group. Those who hear their the names, please come forward."

"Windstorm City, Yang Feng."

"Yangzhou City, Liu Guang."

"Imperial Capital City, Li Gu."

One by one, the young men and women who had been called out stood up from the crowd and walked to the front of the martial arts stage. Soon, thirty to forty people stood there.

The young man flipped through the pages, his throat moving slightly as he spat out two words in a loud voice.

"Huoyan City, Chu Hen."
