After Zhao’s test finished, the second test was completed.
A total of 68 people had passed .
In fact, this number was not small.
Merely, Elder White had not announced the rankings, so no one knew their specific ranking yet.
But as far as Ling Xiao saw it, the forerunners should be among a select few.
Not to mention Zhao Zhi, Xu Ying, Leng Mei and Zhao Ci, his rank should not be low.
“Dai Yuling, follow this Senior Apprentice Brother to Medicine Peak. As for the others, follow me.”
Elder White stood up and instructed a female disciple of Moonlight Sect to take Dai Yuling to Medicine Peak.
“Teacher, what is the cultivation base of Golden Light Celestial Worthy who just took Leng Hao? How is it compared to Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy?”
Along the way, Ling Xiao finally couldn’t endure anymore and asked.
“Golden Light Celestial Worthy is a higher-leveled powerhouse in the Celestial Realm, but Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy has just stepped into the Celestial Realm. The gap between them is too big. After you step into the Celestial Realm, you will cast off your mortal body. From soul to body, everything would be completely new, and you will be able to fly without any external help!”
White Cloud Great Master explained.
After saying this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: “As for this Master, this Master wouldn’t be able to step into the Celestial Realm even with another lifetime.”
Under the Celestial Realm, there was the Transcendent Realm.
Like the Martial Vein Realm, the Transcendent Realm also had nine ranks.
Merely, unlike the Martial Vein Realm where one martial vein would be opened with every rank, the body would undergo a change with each rank until one completely cast off the bindings of the mortal body and stepped into the Celestial Realm.
In a certain sense, those who had stepped into the Celestial Realm could be regarded as higher-leveled humans.
The things viewed as mystical by ordinary people would be common things for them.
Merely, White Cloud Great Master had not reached this level; therefore, he couldn’t explain this realm clearly. He could only wait for Ling Xiao to explore it on his own.
“Don’t talk anymore. There will be two more tests. One is a ‘Mechanical Behemoth,’ and the other is ‘Sealed God Catalog.’ You all better pay attention because even if you all fail in these two tests, you might get some benefits.”
Elder White’s voice resounded.
However, he just said the names of the next two tests without announcing any specific content, which forced other people to keep on guessing.
Ling Xiao’s plan was to simply get full points if the next tests were based on combat or intelligence.
It was not necessary to conceal these: being able to injure Hei Suo had long proven his outstanding fighting skills.
He estimated that Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy already knew this point.
Merely, in the sect, so-called fighting skills were not very useful below the Transcendent Realm.
It could only be used to save one’s life.
Therefore, the proportion of this test was not large, only 10 points.
Even if Ling Xiao got full points, Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy wouldn’t care.
Moreover, keeping a low-profile was good, but if he hid his strength too much and got eliminated, that would be embarrassing.
Elder White opened the gate, and everyone followed him to a narrow passage.
The inside of the passage was completely dark. It was impossible to know how long the passage was, let alone what existed on the other side.
Ling Xiao could see a group of dark shadows with very dangerous auras in the passage.
The pressure from these shadows was almost equivalent to a Peak Rank Nine Martial Vein expert.
“The contents of the third test is very simple. From here onwards, you will encounter some troubles. You can either choose to avoid or attack. Your points are calculated based on the distance you cover.”
Elder White indifferently said, “This passage is 100 feet long. Every 10 feet is 1 point. If anyone can actually kill the behemoth at the end, he will get an extra 10 points.”
This rule was simple and clear. Further explanation was not needed.
“Okay, let’s start. Who wants to go first? There is no need to follow the order of the number plates this time.”
“I want!”
Elder White had just spoken when a young man with a cultivation base of Peak Rank Seven Martial Vein jumped into the dark passage.
His potential was not bad at an excellent grade treasured body, but his strength was not up to much.
The youth had just entered the passage when a white light suddenly appeared in front of him. He had no time to react and was blasted out.
“Oh, that’s right, if your cultivation base is below Rank Eight martial Vein, it is normal for you to get zero points on this test unless you have some special abilities.”
The youth had no injuries, but he was very disappointed.
“I’ll go next!”
This time, a youth with a cultivation base of Initial Rank Eight Martial Vein entered.
He was a bit stronger, so his reaction speed should be faster.
Merely, when he jumped into the passage, the expected white light didn’t appear. Instead, a blade glinted in the darkness.
“Clang!”
That youth hastily responded, but he was still forced to retreat 3 to 4 steps and nearly stepped out of the passage.
Now, everyone could vaguely see a figure had appeared, made of steel and wielding a blade.
It was clearly a mechanical puppet.
The strength of this mechanical puppet was stronger than Peak Rank Seven Martial Vein but slightly weaker than Initial Rank Eight Martial Vein.
And these were the words of Elder White——
If martial artists below Initial Rank Eight don’t have any special abilities, it’s very difficult to get any points.
After experiencing the initial danger, the youth quickly calmed down. After some battling, he defeated the mechanical puppet and walked ten feet.
Suddenly, two rays of light flashed in the darkness.
They clearly came from the other end of the passage, but the speed was so fast that they instantly appeared in front of that youth.
Flying Sword?
This was his only thought before before being pierced. He then passed out.
“If you get injured in the passage, you won’t die. At most, you will just lose consciousness. You all can rest assured. We are recruiting disciples, not killing people.”
Elder White explained. Their Moonlight Sect was not a Demon Sect.
“Advanced ten feet, 1 point!”
This young genius with the cultivation base of Initial Rank Eight Martial Vein was able to advance just ten feet, which truly made people sigh.
Later, many people took this test in succession.
Each time, the dangers were different. No matter if you entered early or late, there would be no advantages.
Naturally, this was for other people.
For Ling Xiao, going in later was more beneficial.
Because he noticed that whether it was a mechanical puppet or that strange light attack, the frequency of their appearances were fixed. As long as this pattern was found, combat power was not needed. One could easily get full points just by relying on movement technique alone.
“Noble son, I’m going!”
Before Leng Mei, the one who had gotten the most points in this test was Zhao Ci, but she had only gained 5 points.
“Wait a minute!”
Ling Xiao stopped Leng Mei and said something in her ear.
