At the top of the mountain.
White Jade Square.
It was also the square where the True Qi Realm expert brought Xiao Han to take the outer sect disciple test.
At this moment, there were several groups of people standing in the White Jade Square.
Xiao Han glanced over and saw the three leaders of the outer sect, standing together and whispering to each other with serious expressions.
There were also a dozen or so disciples dressed in outer sect robes. Their expressions were extremely nervous as they looked around and craned their necks, as if they were anxiously waiting for something.
On the other side, there were about seven or eight outer sect disciples. Their expressions were calm, arms crossed, looking up at the sky, or chatting as if nothing had happened.
They all looked calm and unruffled.
These outer sect disciples, in Xiao Han's eyes, all had one thing in common … calmness, determination, and indifference.
Even, their eyes were filled with bloodthirst and cruelty!
Not far away from these outer court disciples stood a tall and imposing man.
He was about twenty-two or twenty-three years old, like a lone mountain, standing on the side, his face was as hard as granite, carrying a single blade on his back, his cloak fluttering in the wind.
He stood in the square, like a crane in a flock of chickens.
His spirit and aura were even better than the three leaders of this mountain.
The invisible blade Qi, with his body as the center, floated like a ripple.
He closed his eyes.
No one dared to disturb him.
At the edge of the square, there were also small groups of outer sect disciples watching the show.
"Senior Cao Xuan, this … what is this situation?
Why are there so many people? "Xiao Han looked at Cao Xuan in confusion.
"Junior Xiao Han, don't ask so much first.
Let's go over now. "Cao Xuan gave Xiao Han a look, then led Xiao Han directly to the three leaders.
"Xiao Han!" After seeing Xiao Han, the three leaders' eyebrows relaxed and shouted with a smile.
This attitude, compared to when Xiao Han participated in the outer sect disciple test, was a complete change. It even had a hint of respect.
"Hello, three leaders." Xiao Han smiled helplessly in his heart, then pretended to greet them.
"Xiao Han!
You are not bad!
We have heard about what happened to you.
You defeated Wu Yan, who was at the middle stage of the Viscera Refining stage, and Linghu Song, who was at the peak of the Viscera Refining stage!
In fact, you're even going to take one of Yang Lei's attacks, right?
How ambitious!
Not bad!
Cultivating the Martial Dao is to be like you, ceaselessly cutting down all obstacles and advancing forward courageously. You must have the strength of character and courage!
We were wrong about you back then. "A manager's eyes were filled with admiration and praise.
"But now, we all think highly of you.
Our peak needs a disciple like you who dares to fight and fight.
Don't worry. The sect will value a disciple like you. "
Xiao Han quickly declined modestly.
"Luck, it's all luck."
"Xiao Han, are you starting to refine your organs now?" Another manager said warmly.
"Uh … Yes, yes, this disciple will begin the Organs Refinement." Xiao Han was not used to it.
"Cultivate well." The manager patted Xiao Han on the shoulder.
"I hope that after a few years, after Ling Feiyu and Meng Ran, a third outstanding genius will emerge from our peak.
Xiao Han, we all think highly of you. "
At this moment, a bearded man with large eyes spoke in a low voice from among the group of seven or eight Outer Court Disciples.
"Defeating someone with a higher realm than you can't be considered as true 'courage'.
Facing the Demon Clan calmly is' great courage '. "
"Ahem ~ ~ ~" A manager coughed a few times and announced to Xiao Han, Cao Xuan, and the dozen or so Outer Court Disciples who had nervous expressions.
"Alright, let's begin the test.
Among all of you, other than Xiao Han, all of you have participated in the test before.
Although all of you have experienced failure, failure does not mean that you will forever fear the Demon Clan.
Courage!
Show me your courage!
True courage! "
"Yes!
Manager, this time, we will definitely succeed! "The Outer Court Disciples roared in a low voice.
Cao Xuan secretly clenched his fists and said something in a low voice.
On the other side, the group of seven or eight Outer Court Disciples with cold expressions looked as if they were watching a good show.
"All of you, follow me." The three managers brought Xiao Han and the other Outer Court Disciples to the plaza, behind a palm-wide red line.
"All of you know the rules of the test except for Xiao Han. I will explain it now.
Xiao Han, listen carefully.
Behind this red line is the safe zone.
On the other hand, past this red line is the test zone. "A manager looked at Xiao Han and said.
As he spoke, the manager pointed to the front.
About a hundred steps away from the red line, there was a large mass of things, covered by a thick black curtain. The black curtain was constantly wriggling, as if there was a creature hidden under it.
A faint sense of crisis was silently spreading out …
"The red line is a hundred steps away from the Demon Clan!
Examinees enter the test zone and approach the Demon Clan step by step. Those who can successfully approach ninety steps without any fear will be considered qualified!
During the test, when examinees approach the Demon Clan, their feet cannot stop for even a moment!
They cannot turn back!
Otherwise, they will be considered as unqualified! "A manager introduced in a clear voice.
"Oh?
So it is the Demon Clan behind that black curtain! "Xiao Han's heart tightened.
"Xiao Han, don't worry. You cannot feel the Demon Qi beyond a hundred steps. It is a safe zone." Cao Xuan explained to Xiao Han in a low voice.
At this moment, in Cao Xuan's eyes, there was a mixture of excitement and fear. It was extremely complicated.
"Alright, the test begins. This is a 'loose demon' that has been starving for seven days. It can be said to be on its last breath. Its Demon Qi is thin. I hope you can pass." A manager moved his body and with a few flashes, he arrived beside the black curtain.
"Loose demon?" Xiao Han had read some simple information about the Demon Clan.
If the Demon Clan was divided according to levels, the lowest level of the Demon Clan was known as a loose demon. After that were Demon Soldiers, Demon Generals, Demon Sovereigns, and Demon Emperors.
In the legends, there was the existence of Demon Immortals, but this was only a legend.
"Hua ~ ~ ~ ~ ~" The manager standing beside the black curtain shook his hand and lifted the black curtain!
"Ao ~ ~ ~ ~ ~" A deep roar that seemed to come from the depths of hell was immediately heard.
Then, Xiao Han saw the Demon Clan for the second time!
This Demon Clan was a size smaller than the one Xiao Han had seen the first time in the small town. It was about 1.9 meters tall, humanoid, brownish-red skin. There were no scales on its body, but its skin was as hard as metal, reflecting a cold and eerie light.
Its head was as big as a vat, and its head was full of tendons that protruded like venomous snakes. They constantly bounced and made popping sounds, making one's hair stand on end.
Fangs extended from its bloody mouth. They were as sharp as knives and could easily penetrate a human's skull.
His long tongue stuck out, rolling and lashing at the air.
Its hands were very long, and the muscles on its arms were intertwined. They were filled with an indescribable explosive power.
And every fingernail was like a sharp dagger.
Its legs were like a frog's, and one could imagine its terrifying jumping power.
At this moment, this Demon Clan's entire body was wrapped in thick metal chains, making it unable to move. However, it still struggled and roared with all its might, causing the chains to make crackling sounds.
A brutal, bloody, and ruthless aura pervaded the air.
It made one's heart tighten.
Xiao Han felt as if his heart was being clenched!
Looking left and right, he saw that the faces of several outer court disciples who were participating in the examination had turned pale, and their teeth were chattering.
And on the other side, a few outer court disciples who were standing calmly, after seeing this Demon Clan, had extremely cold expressions. Some of them even had bloodshot eyes, emitting excitement and killing intent.
"Let the examination begin.
Chen Bin, you have failed three times. Your best result is 54 steps. "A manager nodded to a skinny outer court disciple.
"Phew ~ ~" The outer court disciple took a deep breath and then walked quickly toward the Demon Clan.
Ten steps, twenty steps … forty steps, fifty steps … seventy steps …
Chen Bin's footsteps became slower and slower. After seventy steps, it was as if he was walking on thin ice, and every step was difficult. It was as if there was an invisible membrane blocking him.
Finally, when he reached the eightieth step, Chen Bin let out a scream, held his head, and ran back. His face was full of terror.
"What a pity. There are only ten steps left."
A manager shook his head slightly. "Alright, Chen Bin, you still have one more chance. Next time, work hard to overcome your inner demons and achieve great courage.
Next, Luo Fang. "
Luo Fang was a female disciple in her teens. She was as round as a pearl and as smooth as jade. She had already refined her organs very well, and it was said that she had started refining her marrow last month.
However, Luo Fang only walked seventy steps before she was scared out of her wits. She could not hold on any longer and gave up the examination.
Following that, the other eight outer disciples were all defeated in the test.
At the edge of the square, the Outer Disciple Realm disciples of this mountain peak were both anxious, regretful, and embarrassed.
"This peak is indeed very weak …" A few outer court disciples standing at the side couldn't help but mock.
Only the man with the saber on his back had his eyes closed, and he was as still as a rock.
It was as if everything had nothing to do with him.
The faces of the three managers were extremely ugly!
In the end, only Xiao Han and Cao Xuan, the two outer court disciples, had not participated in the examination.
"Cao Xuan, you go!" A manager said angrily.
"You have participated in four examinations. This is your last chance. I hope you can succeed."
"Yes!"
Cao Xuan's breathing was rapid. Suddenly, the sound of bones cracking rang out around him like firecrackers. His internal organs were wriggling like a river beating against the shore. His aura rose to the peak, and then he crossed the red line and walked towards the demon race!
Fifty steps … seventy steps … eighty steps … eighty steps … eighty steps … almost ninety steps!
He was going to succeed!
"Cao Xuan is going to succeed!" A manager said excitedly.
At this moment …
"Roar ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
The demon race suddenly let out a roar, and a blood-like demonic aura suddenly shrouded the area!
"Ah!!!!" Cao Xuan's feet suddenly stopped, and his expression changed drastically!
"Human … so hungry … I want to eat your … human … brain … delicious …" The demon race actually spoke the human language.
Suddenly, Cao Xuan's aura disappeared, and his knees went soft. He directly knelt down and actually began to vomit.
"What?
Cao Xuan … Cao Xuan actually failed … "The faces of the three managers were ashen!
Among the outer court disciples who had participated in the examination, Cao Xuan was the closest to success!
But … he failed at the last step.
It was a pity.
"Xiao … Xiao Han, you go …" The three managers looked at Xiao Han.
"Oh …" Xiao Han nodded and took a step forward.
… …..
