C8 Mountain Running Test

Compared to the nearby mountains, Mount Shu was much taller. The front of the mountain was flat and had been paved with stone steps. On the back of the mountain was a precipitous cliff, and the entire mountain was shrouded in mist and clouds. The higher it went, the thicker it became.

The Mount Shu disciples usually lived in the mountainside, where a large open space had already been created by their ancestors. As for the mountaintop, it was basically a huge stone platform, and the Sect Leader and the others usually lived in the palaces located on top of the stone platform.

The floating stone platforms and the surrounding floating stone platforms had iron chain bridges that allowed people to pass through each other. Furthermore, there were iron chain bridges connected to the highest areas of Mount Shu where there was no suspension.

Looking down from the floating stone platform and the metal chain bridge, there were only layers of unfathomable clouds. If someone accidentally fell down there, he would definitely die.

Currently, many of the parents who had brought their children to register wished for their children to learn well in Mount Shu so that they could make a big career in the future; there were also a few who hoped that their children could become famous swordsmen in the future after learning well in the human race; however, Zhang Tianxin felt that learning well was for his reincarnation as the Sword Saint and to protect the world and not disappoint the parents who were in heaven. Although he was still a little doubtful about Brother Jian and whether his life and past were real, he still hoped that NanGong Jian's will and his parents would persevere on until the end of his inheritance.

Next, we will begin the first round of the examination. Everyone, please listen to your names and prepare for the next step at the foot of the mountain. The content of this test is to have everyone take turns running from the foot of the mountain to the destination point in Mount Shu. After Ye Hua Qing finished reading out the questions for the first round of the examination, the Mount Shu disciples next to her began to call for the registration staff to wait at the foot of the mountain.

"Zheng Peony, Wang Xiaodan, Zhang Tianxia, Ouyang Ren …" When she finally heard her name being called, Zhang Tian Shi, who had been preparing for a long time, excitedly ran to the foot of the mountain to wait.

By the time the Mount Shu disciples had gathered, more than half of them had already arrived. Zhang Tianxia then took a look and estimated that there were about two hundred of them.

After these people had taken their positions, one of the Mount Shu disciples gave the order, and everyone ran off as soon as they heard the order.

"Dong Dong Dong …" Following which, it was as if thousands of horses were galloping down the stone stairs that were more than ten meters wide.

At this moment, everyone only had one goal in their hearts, and that was to pass the test. From time to time, they could even hear a girl cheering for them, "Ah! For my Hua Qingchong! "

It had already been half an hour since they started running. Zhang Tian Shi looked at the crowd that had started to thin out. Most of them had already fallen behind, but there were still a few who had left without leaving a trace. One hour equates to eight quarters of an hour)

Although he did not know how far he had to go, he did not want to change his speed. This was because maintaining his stamina while running was something he had learned from his previous experiences while chopping wood. He believed that this test was like chopping wood and he could not rush it.

After running for such a long time without changing his expression, he seemed to think that he was running on the path that belonged to him, crossing countless stone steps. As he ran at a steady pace, he looked at the plaza where he stood like a piece of tofu at the foot of the mountain and thought that if the content of this test was used by the disciples of Mount Shu, it would be truly a little dangerous.

It seemed like even after running for half an hour, Zhang Tian Shi still hadn't found the destination. At the same time, she recalled Ye Hua Qing's earlier announcement and felt that the person who could finish running in an hour was truly amazing!

Zhang Tian Shi, who was running at a steady pace, started to feel that she was running out of stamina. Facing this test, it felt like he was chopping down a huge tree that he could not even remember when he had finished chopping it down.

After that, Zhang Tianxin, who was panting as she ran, slowly began to worry. The further he went, the more he would see the exhausted people in front of him one after another, most of them had given up and were resting on the stone steps, their heads lowered while thinking about life with depressed faces. However, there were a few who had not given up yet, as they struggled to walk through one stone step after another with their feet and hands, but even though they knew that time was not enough, they still had to persevere on their way to the finish line.

Although Zhang Tian Shi had surpassed many of the people in the first few batches, but she had also noticed a few who had surpassed her in the last few batches. Therefore, from his point of view, there were quite a few powerful people among those who had come to Mount Shu this time.

In addition, she gradually began to feel that her legs were no longer listening to her commands anymore. At the same time, she also began to feel that her sweat and breathing were shaking her will. As she continued to run, more and more people fell on both sides of her, causing her to gradually doubt whether she could pass the test or not.

The path that Zhang Tianyi could see through with his sweaty eyes began to become blurry. After an unknown amount of time had passed, the hope that he had been anticipating for a long time began to slowly surface — a banner with the word "End" written on it.

Seeing the glimmer of hope in his eyes, Zhang Tian Shi was immediately filled with motivation. After dispelling all the distracting thoughts from before, she gathered the last bit of energy she had prepared and rushed up. With perseverance, with hope and conviction, he gradually approached the destination.

Whether it was his parents passing away, or the fact that he almost lost his life at Dragon's Brook Mountain, or the stone stairs that he had to test, no matter how many times he had to face the doubts and struggle from the twists and turns, no matter how many times he felt that every time he encountered a barricade that he could not pass, he would still have a trace of perseverance in his heart under the endless wearing down of the barricade. Because of this, this time, he had never achieved so much in his life.

With this moment of joy and happiness, Zhang Tianxing raised his head to look at his parents. He first touched his cheeks and then wiped away the sweat that flowed down his forehead due to the anxiety and unease he felt.

Standing at the end of the tunnel, Zhang Tianzhi looked at the mountains that stretched all the way to the end of the tunnel. She felt that she still had a long and arduous road ahead of her.

Zhang Tianxia was then informed by the Mount Shu disciples at the end of the hall that she had passed the test just as she had thought. Furthermore, she was also told not to block the way to the end of the hall.

Afterwards, Zhang Tian Shi looked at the people on both sides of her. Most of them were depressed, some were sad, some were crying, and some were complaining whether it was because they didn't have anything to do with Brother Hua Qing. There were also a few who had happy hearts and happy faces, and their tears and sweat seemed to be filled with achievement and hope; however, there was a small number of people who were resting quietly, as if they already knew whether they could pass this test.

After walking for who knows how long and how long, Zhang Tian Shi finally saw the end of the two rows of people. Under the cover of the clouds, he could no longer see the huge square at the foot of the mountain.

Afterwards, Zhang Tianzhi sat down on the stone steps at the back of the crowd where no one was. She instantly felt an unprecedented release of energy from her body. At the same time, her exhausted legs finally stopped working as she wished.

After that, Zhang Tianxia inhaled the air in Mount Shu and immediately, she felt very comfortable and calm throughout her body. He immediately felt that the air here was not only able to massage his body, body, and legs to relieve the fatigue, but also to increase his mental energy and agglomeration power. Therefore, he also felt that Mount Shu was a place where all people wished to cultivate and learn, but it was also a good place for people like him who wanted to become a disciple.

Soon after, Zhang Tian Shi who was sitting on the stone stairs for a short rest heard the crowd behind her slowly start to discuss with her in surprise. On the road behind them, there were a few rumours about the similar floating stone platform that she had dreamed of many times. After a short discussion, a few Mount Shu disciples came down while informing the people on both sides of the stone stairs that those who had passed the test would rest for a day tomorrow, and then the day after that, the second round of the test would begin the day after tomorrow.

When everyone heard the words of these Mount Shu disciples, the majority of those who had already passed the test felt that they had already passed the test. After hearing the words of these Mount Shu disciples, the majority of those who had already passed the test felt that they had already passed the test. Thus, they began to feel that Mount Shu was truly unfated for them!

Zhang Tianxin, who had followed the crowd down the mountain, didn't think too much about it. Bringing her heavy legs and empty stomach with her, she wanted to quickly return to the inn to eat something good. At the same time, she also seemed to be able to see the cozy and charming big bed waving at her. At this moment, his mind was only preoccupied with the more difficult test he would face the day after tomorrow. As long as I could rest now, then I would be able to deal with the words' I'm at ease '.

The Supreme Purity Hall of Mount Shu —

"Reporting to the Sect Leader, this time the fastest person to reach the finish line took over six quarters of an hour." Ye Hua Qing, who had been appointed to take the entrance examination for new disciples, reported to the Sect Leader of Mount Shu.

"Looks like there isn't anyone special this time. From the time I entered Mount Shu until now, the only person who could arrive at the entrance exam within an hour was Elder Hong from twenty-two years ago, and thus he made an exception to recruit my junior apprentice, Yong Yang. Unfortunately, he sacrificed himself for the reappearance of the demon clan from Mount Shu and the human race eighteen years ago." After the Sect Leader heard the report from Ye Hua Qing, he sat on the ground and sighed.

Head senior brother, although many years have passed without a genius like Junior brother Yong Yang, but five years ago, under my tutelage, Ye Hua Qing also participated in the entrance exam. Moreover, he was only fourteen years old at that time, and it was also the shortest one. Elder Wang Shoufeng, who was standing beside the Sect Leader and had lost his sight, said to the Sect Leader.

"That's right!" Everyone has seen Ye Hua Qing's talent. The entrance examination is only the foundation for testing new disciples, so we hope that Ye Hua Qing will surpass us in the future. However, Mount Shu's mountain run test is held every five years for new disciples. Since there are many people who have signed up for the first round, and more people have passed, we need to select a candidate. So, what should we do for the second round? " After the Mount Shu Sect Leader finished praising Ye Hua Qing, he turned to the left and right Elders of the two men and women.
