Chapter 19 - Entering Medicine Valley (1/2)
Getting closer and closer to the time limit, the three of them finally made it to the 3,000-meter platform.
“Up!” Chu Ning shouted at Ye Shang.
“You first.” At this point, Ye Shang didn’t even have the strength to raise his hand.
Chu Ning grabbed a stone on the platform, twisted his body, and climbed up.
Tang Tian, like Chu Ning, also climbed up the platform with an unsightly posture as he twisted his bottoms to enhance his grip on the platform.
Ye Shang grabbed the stone with his left hand to support his body, while his right hand grabbed the platform tightly. His left hand continued to support the body and he finally climbed the platform.
When his body reached the stone platform, Ye Shang felt relaxed and completely passed out.
As Ye Shang fainted, shockingly his body fell to the side and slid down the stone platform. Unfortunately, Tang Tian and Chu Ning, who were closest to him, were so tired they could not grasp him.
Ye Shang, who passed out, was like a bird with a broken wing, he slid down from the platform, which surprised everyone, fortunately, the member of enforcement team who was flying on a beast just below caught Ye Shang in mid air.
Meanwhile, the other enforcement team disciples also began assisting in sending the weary participants down the mountain.
Chu Lingxiao squatted in front of Ye Shang, fed him a medicinal herb, and then patted his back.
Ye Shang opened his eyes with a faint p***k of light and sat up by himself. .
“Don’t get up, let your body recover first.” Chu Lingxiao nodded at Ye Shang.
Chu Lingxiao then announced the results of the assessment. A total of 26 people passed, that is, 23 people who had previously boarded the 3,000-meter platform, as well as Ye Shang, Tang Tian, and Chu Ning.
“Brother Chu, didn’t you say that we would only accept those who reached 3,000 meters? He did not succeed.” Lu Jing pointed to Ye Shang and said to Chu Lingxiao, it wasn’t a secret that he didn’t get along well with Chu Lingxiao. If he got a chance to refute Chu Lingxiao, he wouldn’t let it go, even if it meant turning Ye Shang into a victim.
“Brother Lu, how can you say that Ye Shang didn’t reach the benchmark? The prints of the calluses on his bloody hand on the top of the stones on Dandling Cliff are more than enough to prove his triumph.” Glancing at Ye Shang, who was bandaged all over his arms by the disciples, Tang Qianqian said in an emotional tone.
“Well, these 26 people are the ones who passed the assessment this year. Lingxiao, Taixuan Peak hasn’t recruited anyone for more than a decade, I’ll take all of them.” Liu Yangyu stood up and thundered in a rather ruly voice.
“Third brother, that’s really unfair! You can’t take everyone, otherwise, what’s the point of us assessing them.” Hearing Liu Yangyu’s words, Yan Beiji was unwilling since the disciples who passed the assessment this time were really too good thus he didn’t want to let them go. In the past, the requirement of the third round of assessment was only 15 laps, and the fourth round was also only 2,500 meters.
The difficulty of the assessment was harsh this year, to identify the diamonds amongst the crowd of thousands who come to participate in the assessment. The seedlings of this year were so good, he voiced out his opinion and didn’t care even if it hurts Liu Yangyu’s feelings.
“Well, Martial Uncle, you should give us a few disciples.” Chu Lingxiao also demanded in a rather childish manner.
“Well then, each of you can pick one disciple, but you can’t choose the three of them.” Liu Yangyu’s flicked his sleeves and pulled Ye Shang, Tang Tian and Chu Ning behind him.
The behavior of Liu Yangyu left the representatives of other peaks dumbfounded, though the three of them didn’t have the highest cultivation base, their endurance and perseverance were far superior to others.
“Third Brother, I want 5.” Yan Beiji certainly wanted more than one.
“Three, or I’ll take them all.” Liu Yangyu looked at Yan Beiji, then flicked his sleeves, and pulled other 13 disciples who passed the assessment towards his back.
