Chapter 59 Physical Test
Ling Tianyang, a teenager about fifteen or sixteen years old, was named as the first challenger.
He stepped forward and stood in front of the monument, his breathing a little rapid, and it was obvious that he was not calm inside.
"Hah!" With a low roar, Ling Tianyang suddenly jumped up, pulled his right leg back to gather strength, clenched his right fist, and slammed towards the physical test monument like lightning.
In an instant, the air seemed to be torn apart, and a roar resounded through the sky.
I saw the gas inside the monument churning, and within a few breaths, a green light filled the air. Although it was not as bright as blue, it also demonstrated its extraordinary power.
This scene made everyone present feel the severity of the assessment and the passion of the challenge.
Whether it is the eager anticipation or the secret worry and anxiety, they are all infinitely magnified in this contest of power.
In this quiet trial field, everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the physical test monument that would decide their fate.
As time went by, the color of the monument quietly changed, from green to blue, but then it stopped abruptly and froze at the boundary between green and blue, announcing that the warrior named Ling Tianyang was unfortunately eliminated.
Elder Wang's voice, like the cool autumn breeze, announced the next name without any emotion, while Ling Tianyang exhaled heavily, his eyes full of unwillingness and loss.
Afterwards, a young man named Shen Dong, who was tall and strong but not as sturdy as Wan Lei, stepped onto the stage of the challenge.
His movements were simple and powerful. When he threw a punch, the air seemed to be ignited instantly, turning into a deep blue, heralding the dawn of victory.
Although Elder Wang's voice sounded lazy, he could not hide his recognition of Shen Dong's strength: "Shen Dong, you passed." Round after round of tests came like a tide, and every warrior demonstrated his hard work and persistence with the power of a punch.
In this short cycle, the eight challengers have been decided, and now it is Shangguan Jiannan's turn.
"Next, Shangguan Jiannan." Following Elder Wang's call, everyone's attention was instantly focused on this young man who usually behaves in a low-key manner but enjoys a high reputation among the outer sect.
Shangguan Jiannan was fully aware of the expectations placed on him, and even though he was confident, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and walked towards the physical test monument with firm steps.
He stood still, took a firm horse stance, lowered his body, and gathered his strength into his fist. With a roar, Shangguan Jiannan struck with all his might, which not only made the stone frame tremble slightly, but also made the aura in the physical test monument boil.
Blue, that originally calm color, gradually deepened under the wind of his fist, then quietly faded away, and finally settled on a hint of light purple, which was a testimony to the strength exceeding four thousand eight hundred kilograms.
There was a hint of surprise in Elder Wang's eyes. He had never expected that Shangguan Jiannan could display such amazing strength.
"Shangguan Jiannan, passed." These four words are not only an affirmation of Shangguan Jiannan's efforts, but also indicate that he will take another solid step on the road of cultivation.
At that moment when everyone was paying attention, the eyes of all the disciples were like thousands of arrows, focused on the focal point that decided their fate. The whole venue was instantly shrouded in an indescribable atmosphere of excitement.
Elder Wang's voice, tinged with a hint of joy, was like a spring breeze, warm and clear, spreading to every corner.
"Fortunately, the difficult times have been passed." Shangguan Jiannan felt relieved, and his tense nerves finally relaxed for a moment. He slowly stepped away from the self-test monument that symbolized challenge and glory, stepped aside, and waited for what happened next.
Behind him, there were two other disciples, also silently guarding the tranquility of this moment.
Time seemed to be endowed with wings and passed in a flash. The test of the two disciples also came to an end quickly. The whole process was simple and efficient.
In the end, five out of the eight people stood out, while three unfortunately stopped.
What is particularly striking is that among the unsuccessful candidates there was a master at the Sword King level, but he could not escape the fate of being eliminated. This scene makes people sigh that the selection is so strict that it is beyond imagination.
"This kind of selection is truly impartial." Shangguan Jiannan looked at the three figures who left sadly, and sighed in his heart, adding a bit of awe to the upcoming challenge.
As the eliminated players quietly leave, they can only pin their hopes on the next opportunity half a month later.
Shangguan Jiannan and the other four lucky ones looked at Elder Wang expectantly, their eyes flashing with desire and longing for unknown challenges.
Elder Wang's eyes moved among the crowd with some approval and encouragement. His words were like a horn, sounding the beginning of a new journey: "Congratulations everyone, you have successfully crossed the first threshold. Next, we will usher in a more mysterious jade disk test. Please follow me." After speaking, Elder Wang took the lead and led Shangguan Jiannan and the other four people on the journey to the next level of test.
Their steps are firm and powerful, and every step reflects their infinite vision and determination for the future.
In the trial hall, Elder Wang led the way, followed closely by five disciples who had broken through the first level. Their steps were steady, and in this vast space, waves of echoes sounded like an ancient piece of music that lasted forever.
Shangguan Jiannan's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He glanced around from time to time, exploring the secrets of the hall.
The group walked through the winding path and soon stepped into a slightly compact room.
Although this room is not luxurious, it has a fresh and refined atmosphere. The spiritual energy in the air is more intense than that outside, as if it can nourish people's hearts.
There seemed to be a faint light on the four walls, adding a bit of mystery.
In a corner of the room, about five or six steps away from the door, there lies a jade disk as green as emerald green. It is as big as the door, and a soft glow flows on its surface, like the first light of dawn, attracting people's attention.
Elder Wang gently pushed the door open, stepped into the room, then stepped aside and waited for the opportunity.
Shangguan Jiannan and his disciples faced the huge jade disk head-on, their hearts filled with curiosity and anticipation.
"Next, the second level - the spiritual energy trial."
Elder Wang's voice echoed in the room, calm but firm, "This level is designed to test your ability to control spiritual energy.
"Seeing the confusion on everyone's faces, he continued to explain, "Please each of you choose a weapon."
After saying this, he turned sideways and pointed to the right, where was a small armory. Although the space was limited, it was filled with all kinds of weapons, covering all kinds of martial arts.
Moreover, each weapon was shrouded in a faint light, appearing extraordinary.
"These weapons have all been specially processed," Elder Wang explained, "They can maximize the spiritual energy in your bodies and ensure that you can perform at your best in the test."
As soon as these words were spoken, Shangguan Jiannan and the others couldn't help but flash a hint of desire in their eyes. It was really rare to come across such a treasure.
