About half an hour later, seven or eight youths were thrown out. Their family members immediately came forward to retrieve them.
They could only sigh sorrowfully and bring her back.
Choosing a hundred out of tens of thousands of people was too harsh. They had already prepared themselves for failure.
However, if they succeeded, it would be an incomparably glorious matter.
Situ Qing had a cold expression as he called out the names again, "Yao Yue, Wang Haiming, Li Yuemei … the ten of you go in!"
"Looks like Guan Zhangyuan really passed. I can't fall behind!" Yao Yue muttered to himself and strode toward the entrance covered in black cloth.
He lifted the black cloth and entered the wooden puppet stage with the other nine.
Needless to say, the Wooden Dummy Pass was made entirely of wood. Each of them was half a head taller than an ordinary person. Their limbs were all made of wood, and these wood dummies were made of hundred-year-old high-quality wood. Only someone at the level of a General could break them.
Their movements were mechanized, but the speed and strength of their attacks were not weak. Each wooden puppet possessed strength comparable to a low-grade Yuan Scholar.
There were a hundred wooden puppets in the passage. They stood at fixed positions, and there was a wooden puppet less than a meter apart from each other. It was not easy to pass the wooden puppet stage.
A total of ten people entered. In other words, each person had to break through at least ten wooden puppets to reach the exit.
Pa pa!
When Yao Yue and the other nine entered, the wooden puppets immediately attacked them with their wooden arms and legs.
In the beginning, there were no signs at all. They didn't even have the time to prepare.
Fortunately, Yao Yue had beast-like reflexes. He quickly moved his body and barely dodged the wooden puppets' attacks.
However, the others were not so lucky. Their screams and cries could be heard immediately.
Yao Yue did not have the time to sympathize with them. He began dodging left and right, and he was almost hit.
"These wooden puppets are indeed extraordinary. No wonder the elimination rate is so high!" Yao Yue cursed and began punching the wooden puppets away.
The wooden golem in front of him couldn't even be blasted away with a single punch, but behind him, there were two other wooden golems that were attacking him.
Even with his amazing reflexes, he couldn't avoid being hit. The pain made him grit his teeth. His body involuntarily fell forward, and the wooden puppet in front of him attacked again. He had no choice but to twist his body to avoid it.
However, the wooden golem from another direction attacked again, swinging at him, making it impossible for him to defend himself!
"Oh my god, there are too many of them and their attacks are too fast!" Yao Yue cursed as he rolled on the ground, trying to escape.
However, these wooden puppets not only knew how to use their upper body to attack, they also knew how to kick.
Yao Yue was kicked a few times and had no choice but to stand up and fight back.
However, even when he attacked, he was still flustered. His attacks couldn't form an effective attack on the wooden golems. Instead, he was beaten up by the wooden golems again and again.
He finally understood why there were so many people trying to challenge the trial, but only a few were able to pass!
If it weren't for the fact that his body was stronger than an ordinary person's, he would have been seriously injured or collapsed to the ground.
Even so, his body was still in extreme pain, and he nearly cried out in pain.
Yao Yue was unaware that the people who came with him had already been beaten up and carried out.
Two people were standing at the edge of the wooden golem trial. They were the mentors in charge of the trial, and they were in charge of rescuing the injured people.
They were watching Yao Yue with interest as he expressed his opinion on the trial.
"How long do you think this kid can last?" the black-clothed mentor asked.
The other mentor replied, "This kid's physical resistance is pretty good. I estimate that he can barely make it through half of the trial. He will collapse in about seven minutes."
"I think he can just barely make it through," the black-clothed mentor said.
"Oh? Why don't we take a look?" the white-clothed mentor asked with interest.
"Ha ha ha! I knew you would want to take a look every time. However, this time, I want to take a look as well. Not long ago, I obtained an 800-year-old purple bamboo. What are you going to use to exchange for it?"
"An 800-year-old purple bamboo is not bad. It can be used to forge a Commander grade weapon. I'll trade my 800-year-old snow lotus for it," the white-clothed mentor said.
"Alright, the snow lotus is good stuff. It's settled then. Don't be lazy when you lose!" the black-clothed mentor said excitedly.
"That kid is still getting beaten up. Prepare your purple bamboo for me first!" the white-clothed mentor said confidently.
Yao Yue had already stumbled forward ten meters and passed several wooden golems. However, his body was already bruised, and he was in so much pain that he kept gasping.
These wooden golems are too densely packed. Fortunately, they don't move too far, or I would have been knocked out long ago.
However, there's still a long way to go. I can't continue like this! Yao Yue thought anxiously.
He couldn't use any of his moves here, and he couldn't defeat these wooden golems either. This made him feel extremely sullen!
I can't fall in the second stage. I promised grandfather that I would succeed! Yao Yue kept blocking the wooden golems' attacks as he hardened his resolve. At the same time, he was thinking of a countermeasure. I've absorbed so much demonic blood, and my body has undergone demonic transformation. However, I haven't been able to comprehend the essence of demonic beasts. Their reactions are quite fast, and these wooden golems are stiff. They aren't fast either. With my strength, I'll definitely be able to pass!
Serpentine Eagle Steps!
Yao Yue calmed down and no longer tangled with these wooden puppets. He immediately took the step of fusing with the wooden puppets. His entire body began to dodge among these wooden puppets. His body was like a flexible snake, freely leaning back and forward to avoid the pincer attack. From time to time, he would leap out of the attacking position like an eagle.
At the same time, Yao Yue's eyes flickered with a strange light. His eyesight seemed to have improved rapidly, allowing him to clearly see the trajectory of the wooden golems' attacks. He could make the correct decision in a short period of time.
His eyesight had improved after absorbing the blood of a low-tier Intermediate Demon, the Four-eyed Pomfret.
The Four-eyed Pomfret was famous for its unique eyesight. It could see thousands of meters underwater.
Sometimes, the blood of this kind of demon beast, which had no offensive power, could produce unexpected results.
Yao Yue's eyes instantly turned sharp. He was so excited that he muttered to himself, I can see the direction of their attacks. Their speed seems to have been reduced by half. I can react in advance!
Yao Yue shifted his position as he moved forward.
He was able to deal with the wooden golems calmly. He no longer looked as miserable as before. He was like a completely different person now.
This scene left the two instructors standing not far away dumbfounded!
"What movement technique is this kid using? He's as slippery as mud. It feels like some kind of profound movement technique!" the black-clothed instructor said in astonishment.
"It feels a little like our academy's Coiling Snake Steps, but it doesn't really resemble it. It also feels like an eagle's movement technique. Strange, very strange. Could it be a high-grade General-grade movement technique?
That's incredible! "the white-clothed instructor said in astonishment.
"He was still in a sorry state earlier, but his physique is much stronger than anyone else's. Now that he's able to execute this movement technique, he is indeed a good seedling. I wonder if he can pass the third stage?"
The black-clothed instructor said. He then glanced at the white-clothed instructor and said, "Remember to bring me your snow lotus later!"
"You have a good eye," the white-clothed instructor said with a bitter smile.
Judging from Yao Yue's current situation, passing the wooden golem stage should not be too difficult.
However, they noticed that Yao Yue had stopped at the center of the wooden golem stage.
"What is he trying to do?" the two instructors asked in confusion.
In the next moment, they all opened their mouths wide at the same time, revealing a shocked expression.
Yao Yue had actually started to counterattack the wooden golems.
Yao Yue relied on his speed to dodge the attacks of the wooden golems. Moreover, he was able to see where the wooden golems were attacking from, allowing him to deal with them with ease. Since he was itching to test his skills, he decided to make use of the natural environment to temper his Frenzy Fist.
"The wooden golems have weak spots. As long as I hit these weak spots, the wooden golems will stop moving. Let me try it out!"
Yao Yue had read about the wooden golems from books. He knew that the wooden golems had weak spots on their bodies for the challenger to attack. As long as he hit these weak spots, the wooden golem would stop moving.
These weak spots were the red dots on the wooden golems.
Using his eyesight, he caught sight of the wooden golem that was attacking him from the front. He leaned to the side of the wooden golem and shouted, "Frenzy Fist!"
This was the first strike of the Frenzy Fist. His fist struck the red dot on the wooden golem's forehead.
Bang!
The powerful force hit the wooden golem's red dot, producing a dull sound.
After the wooden golem was hit, it immediately stopped moving and did not continue attacking.
"Just as I thought!" Yao Yue exclaimed. His body moved again.
Two wooden golems attacked at the same time. His body swayed left and right, his fists were like the wind, striking the heart and lower abdomen of the two wooden golems, causing the two wooden golems to stop.
The more Yao Yue fought, the more excited he became. His demonic energy and elemental energy continued to converge as he attacked the wooden golems with all his might. In a short while, he had actually stopped seven to eight wooden golems!
He felt the elemental energy in his body churning. The energy in his sixty meridians actually twisted into a ball and attacked the sixty-first meridian from time to time!
Frenzy Throat Kill!
Yao Yue tilted his body and punched the throat of the wooden golem in front of him at a tricky angle!
At the same time, the energy in his body surged like waves and broke through the barrier of the sixty-first meridian!
