Chapter 42 – The Outer Court Exam Begins (2/2)

AH!!!

Some youths were caught off guard, and they directly collapsed to the ground under the might of this pressure. In less than 15 minutes of time, almost half the partic.i.p.ants had collapsed to the ground, and people were still collapsing.

When they saw half the youths had already collapsed, Elder Qian and Elder Cao Huo’s brows furrowed because the quality of these partic.i.p.ants was horrible!

A group of youths wearing green robes were watching those youths on the square from afar. There were around 50 youths in this group, and Liu Qingyu who Yang Yu was about to fight on the life and death arena was amongst them. However, surprisingly, as someone that was ranked at the 19th position on the Outer Court Rankings, Liu Qingyu actually wasn’t at the front of the group.

If an Outer Court Elder was here, that elder would definitely feel that it was normal because these 50 outer court disciples were all disciples on the rankings. They were the most elite batch of disciples in the outer court. So, Liu Qingyu could only be considered to be ordinary amongst this group of people.

When he saw that half the youths had collapsed after less than 15 minutes had pa.s.sed, a youth in the lead who had a black mole shook his head and said, “No matter if its in terms of numbers of quality, the outer court disciples this time are too much inferior to those from our years. How boring! So boring! I hope that ‘most outstanding genius in 100 years’ from Snow River City doesn’t disappoint me!”

A round faced young man at the side of the young man with a black mole shook his head and said, “To think that during our year, only around 1,000 youths from amongst the 5,000 partic.i.p.ating youths collapsed during the first stage. Yet based on this current situation, there’ll probably be 2,000 youths from this batch that collapse, and if Elder Feng doesn’t hold back, then that number will probably rise even higher! As for that so-called genius, if he really attained the ninth rank of the Mortal Realm as the rumors say, then he can be considered to be a monstrous genius!”

“A monstrous genius?” The young man with a black mode laughed with ridicule and said, “Even if he attained the First Heaven Realm at the age of 16, he can’t call himself a monstrous genius in the outer court. Because with that demonic woman here, how can anyone in the outer court dare to call himself a monstrous genius?”

When he heard the words ‘demonic woman’, the expressions of the youths in the surroundings changed, and dense fear appeared in their eyes. After a short while, the young man with a round face laughed bitterly and said, “That demonic woman seized the position of first on the Outer Court Rankings as soon as she arrived at the Sword Sect, and I heard that she frequently challenges the outer court elders in battle. Such natural talent…. Others say that we’re monstrous geniuses, yet when we’re compared to her, we’re countless times more inferior!”

The young man with a black mole sighed lightly as well. “Under her radiance, we who are the second and third on the Outer Court Rankings have almost been overlooked by the elders. We must work hard, otherwise, when we meet her again, she might disregard us just like she disregards the other disciples!”

The young man with a round face nodded in agreement. They were geniuses amongst geniuses, yet after they encountered that demonic woman, they didn’t dare call themselves geniuses any longer because that demonic woman really dampened their spirits.

......

On the square, Yang Ye remained composed and wasn’t affect by the pressure at all. His foundation was extremely solid, and he’d even experienced life and death battles. Moreover, he’d experienced the pressure from Spirit Realm experts, so when facing the pressure emanated by an expert at the King Realm and under the condition that Cao Huo had held back, he wasn’t affected at all.

Suddenly, Yang Ye opened his eyes and looked to his right. At this moment, there was a young man around the age of 16 on his right, and the young man was looking at him. The young man wore a gorgeous white robe and had a handsome appearance. Even though the young man’s appearance was slightly immature, his entire body was covered in a wealthy disposition, and the arrogant expression on his face wasn’t really concealed.

Of course, most importantly, the young man was just like Yang Ye. He wasn’t affected by the pressure emanated by a King Realm expert at all, and this caused Yang Ye to be slightly surprised in his heart.

When he saw Yang Ye look at him, Jiang Yuan instantly withdrew his gaze and said in a low voice, “It look like not all the partic.i.p.ants in this Outer Court Exam are trash. It’s good that there is some slightly better gra.s.s to serve as contrast, otherwise, it would be too boring!”

Yang Ye withdrew his gaze as well, and then he closed his eyes and rested his mind once more. Perhaps the young man’s strength wasn’t bad, yet it was utterly meaningless to Yang Ye.

After an hour pa.s.sed, Feng Yu restrained his imposing aura before turning around and flas.h.i.+ng onto the platform. When he noticed that an expanse of youths had collapsed on the ground and only a thousand youths remained, Feng Yu shook his head slightly and sighed lightly. He’d already held back, yet he’d never expected that so many would still be eliminated, so it was obvious how he felt at this moment.

As soon as Feng Yu restrained his imposing aura, many people instantly heaved sighs of relief. Yang Ye shook his head inwardly when he noticed this. If Elder Feng continued for a while longer or slightly strengthen the pressure he emanated, there would probably be even more people that collapsed.

As he gazed at those youths that had collapsed around him, a wisp of a disdainful sneer appeared on the corners of Jiang Yuan’s mouth, and he said in a light voice, “Tras.h.!.+ All of you can’t even endure the mere imposing aura of a King Realm expert!” As soon as he finished, he turned around to look at Yang Ye, and he revealed a teasing smile.

Yang Ye frowned when he noticed the young man’s expression. There really are a lot of idiots that look for trouble!

Meanwhile, Elder Qian took a few steps forward, and he gazed at the remaining 1,000 youths as he said, “Those that have collapsed, head to the side immediately, whereas, those that are still standing should immediately meditate and rest. The second stage will begin in an hour!”
