C35 (1/2)

On the other side of the Bitter River, everyone was shocked by Cheng Feng's sudden explosion.

Amongst them, Tie Mushaohua was the strongest.

One had to know, Cheng Feng's spearhead was aimed straight at her. If he could not resolve it, she would lose the chance to enter the Hidden Dragon Academy, and sweep the floor and return home!

This was a devastating blow to a genius Martial Cultivator.

Tie Mushaohua was terrified, frightened, and when he was at a dead end, he immediately turned his gaze to Tiemu Dengke for help.

At this time, Tiemu Dengke also felt goosebumps all over his body, shocked by Cheng Feng's outburst.

However, Tiemu Dengke was intelligent, he took a deep breath, and suppressed his anger: ”Senior brother Chen, Tie Mushaohua is a rare talent, if he can join our academy, he will definitely become a strong Ranker in the future, I hope senior brother will not be troubled by the small bet.”

”A small bet?” Cheng Feng's gaze was sharp as a blade, he stared straight at Tiemu Dengke: ”I think everyone here knows that no matter what, no matter how trustworthy you are, if Hidden Dragon Academy is able to recruit so many talents, and not even accept your reputation, then I have nothing to say!”

Cheng Feng's words were like a knife, they were filled with righteousness, making everyone feel that his words were reasonable.

After Chen Qingyi finished listening, her face revealed an expression of agreement, and without giving Tiemu Dengke a chance to speak, she directly said, ”The examinee, Tie Mushaohua, has fought with Cheng Feng, and now that the bet has failed, according to the bet, Tie Mushaohua's qualification for the next exam.”

When Chen Qingyi said this, they all smiled faintly.

As for Tiemu Dengke's group, their faces were ashen, especially Tie Mushaohua's, as if he had just eaten a dead rat, and was desperate to the point of being hysterical.

Regarding this, Cheng Feng did not have a single bit of sympathy, because Tie Mushaohua had brought this upon himself, so he could not blame anyone else!

”Alright, the first stage of the student recruitment examination is over. Next, we'll proceed to the second stage.” With that, Chen Qingyi and Tiemu Dengke took the lead and left.

Following Chen Qingyi's departure, the hundred over exam candidates and the tens of thousands of spectators also began to move, leaving Tie Mushaohua crying in despair.

Not long after, Cheng Feng and the others arrived at the front of the giant Hidden Dragon Academy peak.

The giant peak where Hidden Dragon Academy resided hung in the sky on all four sides, and between the giant peak and the mountain peak on the other side was a bottomless abyss.

The chasm was about seven to eight li wide and was surrounded by clouds and mist all year round, forming all sorts of grotesquely shaped ghost shadows. Sometimes the wind howled like ghosts crying, so it was called the Ghost Abyss.

”Is this the Ghost Abyss? ”Indeed, it is filled with ghastly aura.” Looking at the endless abyss in front of him, Cheng Feng was a little shocked.

Above the Ghost Abyss, ghostly shadows filled the air, causing chills to run down one's spine. Especially the ghostly wails created by the wind, which were like awls that pierced into one's heart, causing one's pores to constrict.

”Everyone look, this is the Ghost Abyss.” Chen Qingyi arrived at the edge of the Ghost Abyss, pointed to a Steel Chain that was as thick as a person's waist, and introduced it: ”This Steel Chain, is the only way to enter and leave the Hidden Dragon Academy, and your next test, will be to follow this Steel Chain to the top of the mountain where the academy is located.”

”What?! This is the second stage of the academy?”

”It doesn't seem to be that difficult. The heavens are truly helping me.”

”Hmph. Don't be happy too early. You must know that Hidden Dragon Academy does not accept trash. This test is definitely not simple.”

Hearing Chen Qingyi's words, all the examinees started talking at once, trying to find out how difficult this stage was.

As for the audience, they weren't interested in this. They were discussing which genius would shine greatly in this trial.

Due to his previous brilliant performance, Cheng Feng had also become the focus of everyone's discussions, and was filled with anticipation for him.

”The students who passed the first round of examinations, get ready. Then, we will begin the second round.” Beside the Demon Abyss, Chen Qingyi gave the order to start the assessment.

However, none of the youngsters were in a rush. They all waited with rapt attention, hoping for others to take the lead and gain some experience.

However, those who were able to pass the first trial weren't easy to deal with and were quite patient.

For a moment, the entire venue was silent. Not a single person had entered the stage.

”Since no one dares to go up, let me be the first one.” In the midst of the silence, a sonorous, metallic voice came from the mouth of a black-clothed youth.
