C24 (1/2)

The second formation was quickly discovered, and Ling Yu immediately rushed over. He did not care whether the formation was activated or not, he immediately stomped down, and with a bang, he shattered the surrounding ground.

In the blink of an eye, a crystal clear jade piece rose from the ground and was suffused with a gentle brilliance.

Ling Yu's face revealed a satisfied smile, his eyes shone, and said joyfully: ”Although it's only a Rune branded, it's still quite valuable.”

Fortunately, there weren't many formations around the swamp. After a short while, they were all destroyed. The twenty or so pieces of precious jade were all stored in a large cloth bag. There was a feeling of harvest on their backs.

He could not stay here for too long, because all of the formations here were destroyed. If he were to dig out the precious jade, someone would discover it sooner or later.

So he immediately found a few pieces of wood beside him, but instead of throwing them into the swamp, he pieced them together and made two skateboards, which he tied to his feet with a rope.

As for the rest of the wooden boards that were scattered in the grass, they were all smashed to pieces by Ling Yu.

After doing all that, Ling Yu donned his skateboard and rushed out, quickly passing through a large swamp in front.

Very quickly, Ling Yu found out that in any large sized swamp, there were many array formations laid around, and there were even a few items that could be used to float above the swamp.

However, there was no exception. Ling Yu continued to break through the formation, excavate the precious jade and destroy all the tools he could use to cross the swamp. It took him a full four hours before he managed to cross the entire swamp.

A grand and imposing palace appeared in front of him. The three strange mountains rose up together as if a dragon soaring into the nine heavens. Pine and cypress everywhere, and strange stones were erected everywhere.

On the huge square in front of the palace, there were layers upon layers of gates of heaven, a total of nine layers. Each of them was more than a hundred feet tall, and each layer was more majestic than the last.

”This is the final test of the exam, Treading the Heavens?” Ling Yu gazed into the distance and only saw that the Nine Layers of Heaven Gate's entire body was sparkling and translucent, it drooped down with specks of luminescence, and it was suffused with a mysterious energy undulation.

But Ling Yu did not immediately go over, because the cloth bag on his back was already filled with precious jade.

After observing the surroundings for a while, he finally understood the situation of slice area. Then, he divided the bag of jade into three piles and buried them in different places.

Strictly speaking, this swamp should be right behind Martial Sect, and normally, very few people would enter this kind of place. As long as they wait for the examination to end and then take a detour to take the precious jade, it would be fine.

After taking care of everything, Ling Yu immediately found a concealed place in the surroundings and lied down to rest.

A moment later, a light snoring sound could be heard from the grass.

If people found out that Ling Yu had actually laid down and slept after passing the first two stages of the Martial Sect entrance examination, it was unknown just how many people would want to slap him in the face.

However, Ling Yu had his own plans for doing this.

Fighting with the osseous spider in the valley had consumed most of his energy, so his body was already exhausted.

As a result, when they passed through the swamp, Ling Yu immediately destroyed all the tools in the vicinity. It was to hinder the people who were rushing over from behind, so as to buy time for a rest.

Since the first two tests were already so dangerous, it would be even more difficult for him to pass the third one.

Moreover, he was well aware that with his current stamina, wanting to pass the third stage was practically a dream of this person. There was no possibility at all.

Therefore, he could only rest for a bit and recover his stamina before the people behind him arrived. At the same time, he would sneak into the crowd just in case anyone suspected that he was the one who dug out the Rune's jade.

He was at peace and slept soundly, but he did not know that there were some people who were destined to suffer.

”Damn it, who is so wicked as to smash the nearby wooden boards. You must know who it is, I am the first to kill him!”

At the same time, at the front of the swamp, Ling Wencheng and more than a dozen other warriors who were the first to pass the first stage were staring at the swamp, stupefied.

Without a wooden board or a tool to float in the swamp, they wouldn't be able to pass through slice area.

In the end, the group had no choice but to return to the annular mountain range, find dry tree trunks and throw them into the swamp, as a way to pass through the big swamp.

However, when they passed through several large swamps consecutively, they discovered that the trunk of the tree that was thrown into the swamp had directly sunk into the swamp after absorbing enough water. Thus, the group of people were trapped in the middle of the swamp; there was no way out, there was no way back.

The Martial Sect Elders led the way one by one as they walked towards the martial training plaza. They soon arrived at the plaza in order to wait for the people who had passed the trial.

Normally, there weren't many people who passed the trial, but those who were able to do so were all very strong and had high aptitudes.

The most miserable ones are the dozens of people who succeeded last year and the year before, it seems like the difficulty of our Martial Sect entrance examination is really too high.
