Yun Chuan’s eyes are so sharp and bright; he looks around and suddenly smiles lightly. The harmless complexion on his face is not as fierce as before. He says, “You needn’t look at me with this kind of look. As you can see, it was Cousin Yun Cheng who wanted to examine me first; and in fear and awe I went all out naturally. But I didn’t expect Cousin Yun Cheng to be so weak. If I had known it, I would have used only half of my strength. Now I hurt Cousin Yun Cheng by mistake, and it makes me feel so guilty.”

Although he looks guilty, he directly steps on Yun Cheng on the ground and leaves a few obvious footprints on his swollen pig-like face when he walks out. He pushes aside the crowd and smiles, “Excuse me, step aside please.”

Yun Qing’er comes along, and her beautiful face shows surprise and joy. She goes to Yun Chuan and asks happily, “Brother Chuan, have you broken through the middle-stage of Body Cultivation?”

Yun Chuan shakes his head and smiles, “It was a sheer fluke. I haven’t broken through the middle-stage of Body Cultivation.”

A few moments later, it is already late in the morning. The Clan Martial Arts Assessment officially begins.

“Today, there are 245 young disciples qualified to participate in the assessment, and they are all the future of our Yun Clan. In this assessment, the one who can hold on for two hours under the attack of iron-wood puppets will become the Core Disciples of the Clan. And of course, don’t be discouraged if you fail. The development and growth of our Yun Clan also need the joint efforts made by our other branches!”

Yun Luoshan, the father of Yun Qing’er, is the current grand master of the Yun Clan. His voice is loud and there are no redundant words. He directly announces the beginning of the Clan Martial Arts Assessment.

With Yun Luoshan’s remarks, on the broad martial field, some elder masters bring several giant cyan-wood wolves. Those puppets are taller than two men’s height, and their red pupils all glitter with a cold glow.

As soon as these iron-wood puppets appear, their ferocity makes many mentally unstable disciples shrink back with an involuntary gasp.

The assessment process of the Yun Clan seems to be very simple, for it only needs to hold on two hours under the attack of iron-wood puppets. However, the strength of those puppets is comparable with that of the peak martial cultivator on the later-stage Body Cultivation. Moreover, the outer skin made of iron and copper of those puppets is extremely difficult to cope with.
