Of course, now that Xiao Han had cultivated in martial arts and comprehended the power of the Emperor, he was bold and majestic. He was definitely not the weak live target from back then.
Xiao Han didn't say anything else. He lifted his foot and walked towards the demon.
"Ao ~ ~ ~ Ao Wu ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
The demon kept roaring at Xiao Han, its blood-red eyes exuding a cruel and bloodthirsty aura.
"At the crucial moment, I will activate the Bone Explosion Style and push my aura to its peak. That way, I may not necessarily be afraid of this demon." Xiao Han already had a plan.
"Twenty steps … thirty steps …"
The three managers counted in their hearts with anticipation.
This time, all the outer disciples who had participated in the test from this peak had been annihilated, and the outer disciples who had passed the test from the other peaks had been mocking them from the side. This had put a lot of pressure on the three supervisors.
It was no exaggeration to say that they had already regarded Xiao Han as their last hope.
"He's just a brat in his teens. His breathing is weak and he hasn't even refined his organs properly. He's probably at the peak of the Bone Refinement Realm … He wants to pass the examination like this?"
One of the cold outer sect disciples who was watching the show let out a disdainful voice.
"A warrior in the Bone Refining Realm?
Hmph!
Any random Loose Demon can instantly tear a Bone Refinement Stage martial artist into pieces! "Another outer court disciple who was watching the show said in a low voice.
At this moment, Xiao Han finally understood the true meaning of demonic aura.
When Xiao Han reached the fortieth step, he felt his entire body turn cold. Waves of gloomy, gloomy wind poured into every pore of his body, causing his bones to go limp. He couldn't summon any strength, and even his internal organs were being squeezed.
What was even more frightening was that his brain began to slow down and become numb.
"Damn it! This kind of chilly wind must be the so-called 'Demon Qi' … Terrifying! Truly terrifying … This demon in front of me is only a 'Scattered Demon' that serves as a stepping stone. Moreover, it has been starving for seven days. Its entire body is tied up and it's on the verge of death. Even so, it can still release such a terrifying Demon Qi. How terrifying would it be when it's at its peak?"
Xiao Han's footsteps began to slow down.
"Damn it!
Xiao Han had been corroded by Demonic Qi!
I don't know if he can handle it! "
"Forget it. This is Xiao Han's first time participating in the test. He has never faced a demon before.
Disciples who pass the assessment on their first try are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. "
"Sigh."
The faces of the three managers were filled with defeat.
"Alright, that's enough." The few outer sect disciples who were watching the show said one after another.
"F * ck! Yours Truly has only walked a few steps and I'm already eliminated?
Wouldn't that be a huge loss of face?
Explode your bones!
Xiao Han clenched his teeth and was about to explode his bones.
However …
The closer they got to the Demon Race, the denser the Demonic Qi became. It was as if the Demonic Qi had taken form, and it had already affected Xiao Han's vitality!
As a result, Xiao Han couldn't explode his bones like he usually did.
"Oh no!" Xiao Han cursed inwardly.
"Could it be that this Young Master is going to fail miserably and lose face here?"
After fifty steps, Xiao Han found it more and more difficult to walk.
It was as if he was carrying a mountain on his back, causing him to be unable to breathe.
Right at this moment …
"Weng ~ ~ ~ ~"
The strange thing in Xiao Han's heart suddenly let out a soft cry and started to spin rapidly.
Xiao Han could clearly feel that there was something spinning in his heart!
"What?"
The next moment, the Demonic Qi that enveloped Xiao Han's body melted like snowflakes exposed to the scorching sun!
The Demonic Qi that had seeped into Xiao Han's body was also swept away.
Now, Xiao Han felt that his spirit was clear and refreshed. His body's functions had returned to normal!
In fact, his limbs and bones felt warm and comfortable!
"Eh?
I'm fine now? "
Xiao Han raised his head and looked at the Demon Race member who was roaring continuously with its bloody mouth wide open. It didn't seem to be that scary anymore.
When Xiao Han looked at the Demon Race member now, it was as if he was looking at a chicken, a duck, a cow, or a sheep. He didn't feel any pressure at all.
The strange thing in his heart was still spinning non-stop.
"It's nothing?
Strange, strange. "Immediately, Xiao Han walked quickly towards the Demon Clan.
Sixty steps!
Seventy steps!
Eighty steps!
Ninety steps!
"Alright!
Xiao Han!
You passed!
Come back, come back!
You just need to walk to the ninetieth step! "The three managers shouted in joy.
They didn't expect that Xiao Han, who looked like he was about to lose, would suddenly awaken the courage in his heart and pass in one go!
"Look, Xiao Han's face is not red and his heart is not beating. He looks peaceful and calm. He's a brave man!
Divine courage!
Xiao Han is born with divine courage and doesn't fear the Demon Race member!
He's a good seedling!
We must nurture this kind of disciple! "
One of the managers danced excitedly. "After so many years, Meng Ran is the first disciple to pass the first test in our mountain. Xiao Han is the second!
Even Ling Feiyu failed the first test and only succeeded on the second try. He awakened the divine courage in his heart. "
"I didn't expect this guy to succeed." The few outer sect disciples who were watching from the side looked at Xiao Han in surprise.
"Eh?
Why am I not afraid of this Demon Race member now? "
He was only ten steps away from the demon. Xiao Han could clearly see every part of the demon's body. He could even see the constantly expanding pores under the reddish-brown skin, as well as the squirming veins.
But Xiao Han was not afraid.
The strange thing in his heart was still spinning.
What was even stranger was that when the Demon Race member faced Xiao Han from ten steps away, it actually stopped roaring. It also stared at Xiao Han with widened eyes. In its eyes, there was clearly a strong sense of curiosity and doubt.
Subconsciously, Xiao Han took a few steps closer. Finally, when he was three steps away from the Demon Race member, he stopped. Then, Xiao Han circled the Demon Race member, looking at it from the front, the side, and the back.
Xiao Han was surprised to find that the Demon Race member had a tail. It was not very long, about three feet long. The tail was covered with thorny barbs that gleamed with a cold light.
"Enough!
Enough!
Xiao Han, come back! "The three managers were frightened.
One had to know that there was once a young genius from a certain outer sect mountain who was undergoing this test. He easily passed the ninety steps and passed the test, just like Xiao Han did today.
But this genius was very competitive. He actually took a few steps closer. Just like Xiao Han, he stood two or three steps away from the Demon Race member.
Unexpectedly, there was a sudden change. The Demon Race member roared and instantly shattered that genius's courage. Then, it took half a step forward and bit off that genius's head.
From then on, the rules of the test stated that disciples were not allowed to go within ten steps of the Demon Race member.
But the three managers' worries were unnecessary. The Demon Race member did not roar, nor did it attack Xiao Han.
On the contrary, it was very quiet and it was constantly observing Xiao Han.
"Alright, I passed." Xiao Han studied the Demon Race member at close range for a while, then immediately turned and walked back.
What welcomed Xiao Han was a tidal wave of praise from the three managers.
"Xiao Han, you were born with great courage!
Tsk tsk, not only did you display a superior will and understanding in martial arts, but you were also able to face the Demon Race member without fear.
A disciple like you is one in ten thousand! "One of the managers said to Xiao Han with a face full of joy.
"Xiao Han, congratulations, you have obtained a chance to leave the mountain!"
"Leave the mountain?" Xiao Han was stunned.
"Yes, leave the mountain!" One of the managers laughed.
"What … what do you want me to do?" Xiao Han was uncertain.
"To subdue the Demon!" The three managers said almost in unison.
