However, the old man at the top of the mountain did not see this. His gaze had only seen Fang Li's right foot step onto the 80th level and then stop moving. He fainted and was pushed back to the 79th level.

"Seventy-ninth floor. Very good." The old man saw that Fang Li had failed on the eightieth step. He did not feel any regret, but instead felt a little admiration.

It was obvious that Fang Li had long since reached the standards for the first stage, even surpassing many.

When Fang Li regained consciousness, it was already a day later.

When Fang Li was hit by the black light earlier, not only did he manage to dissipate the defensive power released by the Purple Profound Scripture, but he also suffered some internal injuries. However, he was fine.

In the eyes of the Elders in the Martial Immortal School, this was an internal injury caused by Fang Li forcibly breaking through the 80th level, exceeding his body's limit. It was normal for some of the disciples to do the same thing every year.

When she woke up, the azure-dressed woman reminded Fang Li that he was not to speak of the black bolt of lightning. Fang Li knew that the green-clad girl would not speak without thinking. Thus, he suppressed the shock in his heart and did not ask the people in the Martial Immortal Courtyard.

When Fang Li thought of the second bolt of black lightning, which was even more terrifying, he felt a lingering fear. The pressure it contained made him unable to move, making him feel as if he was an ant looking at a huge elephant.

As for how to escape, the girl only said that after he passed out, he was pushed back to the 79th level by the pressure and the bolt of lightning also dissipated. Regarding this, Fang Li did not have the slightest doubt. He didn't know at all that the green-clothed girl had saved him.

Fang Li had long since accepted the azure-dressed woman's inability to act.

Actually, with the azure-dressed woman's ability, even if it was just soul power, she wouldn't be so weak that she wouldn't be able to act against others. However, Fang Li, who had a low cultivation base, didn't know anything.

If Fang Li knew that he could always protect her, then he would no longer feel the sense of danger and would always rely on himself. Then, such a person would never be able to become a strong person. On the other hand, he didn't have a corporeal body and was unable to replenish his soul force. If he were to attack too many times, he would surely die.

"It's good that you've woken up. Rest well. After half a month, when everyone who's participating in the exam passes through the first trial, the second exam will begin. Prepare yourself." An old man with a beard and hair full of white hair smiled and said as he watched Fang Li wake up.

Looking at the unfamiliar old man in front of him, Fang Li knew that this person must be someone from the Martial Immortal Courtyard. While he was in a coma, Fang Li regularly asked him to heal himself. He wanted to stand up and thank her, but as soon as he did, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. The old man quickly held down Fang Li and knew what he was going to do. He said, "There's no need for those formalities. You've stepped onto the seventy-ninth floor, so don't waste your talent. In the future, you'll be able to pass the examinations and enter the Martial Immortal School."

"Brat, you have to use all your strength." Fang Li looked at the old man and said gratefully. Fang Li knew the extent of his injuries at that time. Even though it was not life-threatening, it was not light either. Now, he only felt slightly weak, and there was still some pain in his chest.

"Mm. Speaking of this year, it's quite good. The other person who came with you also stepped onto the 70th floor. If the two of you can enter the Martial Immortal School in the future, you will definitely shine." The old man glanced at Zhao Zhu who was standing at the side in satisfaction. "This building has three bedrooms. The three of you should recuperate here for the next half a month in preparation for the second round of the examination." This old one will go and see the other injured people, and won't stay any longer. "

It was within Fang Li's expectations that Zhao Zhu would be praised by the old man. However, Zhao Zhu actually didn't climb as many steps as he did. Fang Li couldn't help but feel excited. His own results seemed to be quite impressive.

Watching the old man leave, Fang Li turned to look at Mu Tan. The old man had just said the last few words, and the three of them were preparing for the second round of examination.

"Mu Tan, you too …"

"Young Master, Young Master, I passed the 50th step. I also passed the first round of the Martial Immortal Institute's examination." Not waiting for Fang Li to finish speaking, Mu Tan excitedly said.

"Ugh …" At this moment, Fang Li suddenly felt that the Martial Immortal School's examination was not as difficult as he had imagined. Even Mu Tan who had never experienced martial arts was able to pass the first stage?

The three of them having passed the 1st day of the examination was always a good thing. Fang Li heaved a sigh of relief.

Fang Li had always felt that it would be difficult for him to enter the Martial Immortal Courtyard. After all, he had only started cultivating when he was fourteen years old.

After going through the Martial Immortal School's first trial, Fang Li was completely relieved. It seemed that the Martial Immortal School only relied on talent.

The first stage of the Martial Immortal Stage ended after a month. On the ninety-ninth floor, below fifty floors were all unqualified. Among these unqualified people, there were rumours that there was a martial artist at the third stage.

Thinking about it, anyone under the age of 25 who could reach the Third Martial Stage, how could they be mediocre? However, the Martial Immortal Department didn't care about that. Those who couldn't step onto the 50th step were eliminated.

During this time, Fang Li had personally witnessed a young man's unwillingness to give up and shouted loudly. Even the servant he brought, a mortal who did not know any martial arts, was able to enter the Martial Immortal Courtyard.

As for the Martial Immortal School elder, he gave him an indifferent glance and mentioned how this person had been forcefully promoted by all sorts of precious medicines since childhood. His natural aptitude was already very ordinary, and even though he was already a Third Martial Stage practitioner, it would be extremely difficult for his cultivation to rise in the future. The other party's face turned red at his words.

From the discussions around him, Fang Li knew that this young man's family was extraordinary. He was actually a direct descendant of one of the underworld clans in Yuan Lu, and in this family, there were several warriors of the fifth step. It was no wonder why there were so many precious herbs used to raise the level of their direct descendants.

Just as he was about to say something, the old man who came with him immediately stopped him. He actually clasped his hands towards the old man from the Martial Immortal School, and with extreme respect. Then, he grabbed the young man beside him and left.

From this, it could be seen how much that person feared the Martial Immortal School. This kind of martial arts family existed in every empire. Other than the fact that the Yuan Lu country had not been established for long, the title of number one expert was taken by Fang Lintao without a doubt, and the underworld clans of the Yuan Lu country were not well-known by outsiders, the other empires and the royal families in power were all basically the current clan heads of these martial arts families.

To berate the heir of a martial arts family so ruthlessly was no different from berating a country's crown prince in public. The shock was naturally extremely great.

The Martial Immortal Courtyard was supreme, but it would not tolerate others doubting or blaspheming. Even if it was a family that had existed for a long time, in their respective empires, you were considered high and mighty. But when you came to the Martial Immortal Courtyard, you were not ranked at all. The Martial Immortal School didn't care in the slightest.
