Ou Shaotian's foundation was solid, so his soul naturally wasn't weak either. The body was the carrier of the soul, and the two complemented each other to begin with.
Therefore, in just a few minutes, he had climbed over a hundred steps.
When Xing Yangyu passed the test and stepped onto the platform after the 300th step, Ou Shaotian was almost at the 400th step.
"Impossible, how could he be so fast?"
Xing Yangyu looked up at Ou Shaotian's back and couldn't help but blurt out.
"His foundation is indeed much better than yours. You can choose to withdraw now. If you continue with the test, you might not be able to pass the second stage!"
The formation spirit's voice sounded in his ears.
"No, I want to participate!"
Xing Yangyu gritted his teeth and said seriously.
He wasn't willing to admit that he had lost to a human. He had to catch up.
After making his choice, Xing Yangyu quickly set off. The pressure this time didn't affect his physical body, but it was constantly squeezing his soul.
...
Time passed quietly. One after another, living beings passed the 300th step test and became the Archaion Sect's in-name disciples.
Most of the living beings chose to withdraw after becoming in-name disciples.
Only a small number of living beings chose to continue!
Mo Lei and the others also chose to withdraw after completing the 300th step test with difficulty and didn't continue.
After choosing to withdraw, they received a random reward.
Some were pills, some were spirit fruits, some were divine weapons, some were cultivation techniques, and some were precious soul skills!
Ou Shaotian was already immersed in the second stage of the test. He realized that this stage wasn't a test at all, but a help.
Under that spiritual pressure, he could clearly feel that the strength of his soul was constantly increasing, and his soul was constantly growing stronger!
He felt the transformation of his soul!
"This stairway isn't as simple as a test!"
After feeling the changes, Ou Shaotian couldn't help but get excited and climb up step by step.
He took less than 15 minutes to climb the 300th step.
In just 15 minutes, his soul had strengthened by at least 10%. The control of the fishing boat avatar with his mind had also become more perfect.
"Congratulations on becoming an outer disciple of the Archaion Sect. You can choose to continue or receive your reward and leave!"
"The next stage is the inner disciple test?"
"Yes!"
"What's the next test?"
"There will be all kinds of temptations appearing in the trial of willpower. The higher you go, the more temptations there will be. As long as you can hold on to your willpower and not be tempted by external objects, you will be able to pass!"
"Temptation? Let me experience it!"
Ou Shaotian did not hesitate and stepped onto the stairs again.
Almost as soon as he stepped onto the stairs, the scene in front of him changed. A group of hot beauties appeared in front of him.
That's it?
Ou Shaotian looked at the scene in front of him with disdain. As an existence who was used to seeing demons fighting in action movies, this was child's play.
These scantily clad beauties couldn't stop him at all.
"Young Master, why are you leaving so quickly? Why don't you stay and accompany me? Isn't it good to listen to some songs and sing some songs to relax?"
In the illusion, there was a delicate woman who wanted to meet him.
"Go away, you can't even compare to those teachers. You don't have the slightest bit of allure!"
Ou Shaotian looked at him with disdain.
He directly ignored these temptations and casually walked up step by step.
This was a true disregard from the heart. Otherwise, as long as he was tempted, he would be continuously magnified by the formation and eventually fall into it.
The result would be failure and he would be teleported out.
It had to be said that the temptations that followed were endless. Sex, wealth, and power came one after another. In the end, he became the leader of the ten thousand worlds!
"This plot isn't good. It's too lousy. It can't even compare to the lame dramas I watched in my previous life!"
Ou Shaotian, on the other hand, continued to climb while shaking his head and commenting.
He could be considered to have seen all kinds of storms.
What kind of lame dramas had he not seen before? In his opinion, these illusions were too fake and full of loopholes. They were simply lousy plots!
It was simply wishful thinking to want to tempt him with such a plot.
Therefore, he easily passed the test of becoming an Inner Sect Disciple!
"Congratulations, you have successfully passed the willpower trial and become an inner disciple of the Archaion Sect. You can choose to continue the trial or receive your reward and withdraw!"
"I would like to ask, what is the next trial?"
"Battle. You can pass by defeating the battle images condensed by the formation. There are a total of three battle images, one for every 33 steps!"
"Can you tell me what their strength is? You can't expect me to fight a Stage Four against a Stage Six, right?"
"No, their strength will only be one stage higher than yours. However, their images are from the inner sect elites of the Archaion Sect. Their battle techniques are incomparable to those of outsiders!"
"Only one stage higher than mine? Then I'll give it a try!"
Ou Shaotian did not waste any time and directly stepped onto the 901st step. The scene in front of him suddenly changed.
He saw that there was a platform 33 steps away from him. On the platform, a young man in tight clothes was waiting there with a long sword in his hand.
Ou Shaotian did not waste any time and directly walked up.
The moment he stepped onto the platform, the young man in tight clothes did not say anything and directly launched an attack.
He unsheathed his long sword and stabbed forward!
On the surface, it looked ordinary, but it was not simple at all. An incomparably powerful sword intent was condensed at the tip of the sword.
It was equivalent to condensing the sword intent into a single point. Its lethality was astonishing.
It had unparalleled penetrative power!
Ou Shaotian held his saber horizontally and blocked the tip of the sword. He held the saber with his right hand and placed his left hand behind the back of the saber to block the impact.
Then, he pushed hard and pushed the young man away.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! The young man in tight clothes used the force to retreat and suddenly split into three. Three incomparably sharp sword intents pierced towards Ou Shaotian from three directions.
"Explosive Steps!"
Ou Shaotian let out a loud roar as his figure shot out and charged towards the figure on the right.
His extreme speed made the young man in tight clothes unable to react at all.
He decapitated him with a single slash!
Of the three figures, one was real and the other two were fake. Moreover, their speed was so fast that it was difficult to distinguish between them.
However, Ou Shaotian did not need to distinguish between them. With the Radar Eye, he knew that the one on the right was real.
Therefore, he succeeded with a single slash!
"Done!"
Seeing the young man in tight clothes disappear, Ou Shaotian sheathed his saber.
Continue forward!
After 33 steps, it was still the young man in tight clothes from before. However, his cultivation level was at the third level of the fifth rank. This time, it was at the sixth level of the fifth rank!
He still did not make a sound. The moment Ou Shaotian stepped onto the platform, he launched an attack. Moreover, his speed was even faster and his attack was even fiercer!
However, this time, Ou Shaotian was mentally prepared. His figure flashed, and with a sidestep, he slashed his saber horizontally!
Just as the young man in tight clothes was about to collide with the blade, he suddenly changed his move.
He leaned back, flipped over, and appeared high in the sky. Then, he stabbed straight at Ou Shaotian's head.
Ou Shaotian suddenly moved forward and slashed with his saber horizontally!
Clang!
When the saber and sword collided, the sound of metal clashing resounded.
