C29 (2/2)
”Humph, the assessment will continue. If you pass the assessment and stay, the rest of the people will leave by themselves. Otherwise, all of you will be expelled!” A burly teacher snorted coldly. Behind him, ten students from the outer courtyard wearing long robes rushed out.
The aura of profound energy from the dozens of outer court students rose without restraint, and the auras of the early and middle stage Soul Building Stage martial artists spread out. Even some of the genius experts were only at the late stage of the Soul Transformation stage. Facing such a powerful and vast aura, the seven examinees who had failed the first round all quickly shut their mouths and disappeared from the outer courtyard's plaza in a flash.
Another eight examinees stepped forward, and eight waves of profound energy aura rose. The eight crystal pillars in front of him trembled slightly, and a few different diagrams flashed into existence.
”The power of Wanxiang, two people have reached the standard. As for the rest, they will be eliminated!”
Six more people were eliminated. Among them, one was in the late stage of Soul Transformation while the other was only in the mid stage.
”Damn, isn't that Shi Lei?” He's actually reached the middle stage of the Soul Realm? ” Wu Hen was stunned when he saw the petrified aura of the young man slowly dissipate after just passing the examination.
”Haha, look at Brother Wu Hen, I told you I saw brother Shi Lei, and you said I was seeing things!” Elsewhere, Liu Shuang'er felt her heart warm up upon seeing someone she was familiar with again. She pulled Wu Hen's arm and started shaking it.
”Brother Shi, why did you come to Zhaoge? Tranquil East Palace should only have one spot! ” Wu Hen's eyes were filled with doubt as he pondered repeatedly.
”Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom …”
On the square, the number of people in the eight square formations quickly decreased. The originally black mass of more than a thousand people quickly transformed into a hundred or so.
With a loud boom, Wu Hen's thoughts were thrown into disarray. A crystal pillar on the plaza suddenly shook. A giant elephant with its four hooves moving around rushed up and imprinted itself onto the crystal pillar.
”Wah!” Look! ”
”Damn, she's … she's just a weak girl, how could she have so much strength!”
”Oh my god, that is the power of ten thousand elephants! That is equivalent to the strength of a hundred Wanxiang Adepts! ”
The giant elephant pattern on the crystal pillar gradually faded in the midst of the clamor. A white-robed girl with a frosty expression slowly retreated to the square as if nothing had happened.
”The power of a hundred thousand elephants … I'm afraid it's enough to deal with all the attacks of a later stage Soul Building Stage expert!” The eyes of all the teachers in the academy shone brightly as they focused their gazes on the young lady in white.
”Infinite Elephant Power, passed!” The gorgeous young woman beamed as she announced to the few remaining staff members.
Boom!” Another wave of shaking sounds came from the other crystal pillar. On the other pillar, there was another giant elephant, shaking its huge body and surging forward. This whole scene was as if the giant elephant was alive and had a vivid and lifelike seal engraved on the pillar.
”Infinite Elephant Power, passed!”
Hearing this, the white-robed Jian Wuming, who carried a longsword on his back, retreated expressionlessly to the side of the plaza. The young lady in white who had passed the previous exam couldn't help but take a few more glances at Jian Wuming.
With a swoosh, along with the announcement from the academy's professors, the remaining people in the field exploded once again. There were actually two geniuses that only appeared once every hundred years. Putting aside the superior physique that the young man and woman in white had displayed in the first round, just the strength of a single fist alone was enough to instantly kill all participants in the ninth level of the examination. When the gap between the two sides was within an acceptable range, perhaps the crowd would not give in to each other. However, once the gap was magnified that they were not on the same level, the only thing left was to be convinced. Moreover, how could such a monstrous genius not be admired and worshipped by his peers?
”Brother Wu Hen, it's your turn!” Liu Shuang'er's face was full of worry as she gently pulled at Wu Hen's clothes. Wu Hen, who was still in shock, snapped out of his daze and walked forward with large strides without saying anything.
”Wuhen brat, the talent you displayed in the first round is average. It seems like the power of Wanxiang may not be enough to help you advance!” ”Since someone has already reached the strength of 10000 meters, there's no need for you to hold back. Just control your strength well!” As Demon Sovereign Huo Xiao analyzed the situation, he spoke to Wu Hen confidently.
”Haha, with the power of a hundred thousand elephants, it was only a single strike from a late stage Soul Building Stage martial artist!” Wu Hen smiled coldly and walked to the crystal pillar with an indifferent expression.
Ever since he entered the Soul Building Stage, he'd also learned the Eternal Heaven Art. Now, Wu Hen had practiced the Body Refinement Method to the Mastery realm! Every meridian in his body, even his blood, had been completely nourished by the grandmist purple energy. His body's toughness was comparable to an ordinary Soul Formation martial artist.
However, what he was most proud of was his own strength, which showed signs of surpassing the power of hundreds of thousands of elephants. He believed that as long as Wu Hen successfully advanced to the late stage of Soul Building Stage, his own strength would be able to reach the strength of ten thousand dragons and would be able to deal a full force blow to an early stage Soul Fusion Stage martial artist!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Another wave of turbulence and the transparent crystal pillar lit up once again. With a loud roar, cracks began to appear on the crystal pillar as it ran. The terrifying force became even more violent and wreaked havoc, causing the crystal pillar to be unable to withstand it.
”Damn, what kind of brute strength is this?”
”Oh my god, another hundred thousand. Moreover, this one seems to be a level stronger than the previous two! ”
”Abnormal, they're all abnormal!”
The crowd in the plaza went into an uproar once again. The people who were waiting to see Wu Hen make a joke all stared with their mouths agape …
