C24 I'll Give You the Second Test and Ask for Your Support

Along the way, there was an endless stream of people walking up and down in a line. It was like a river with no end in sight, flowing slowly. Although the path in the mountain was slightly meandering, it was not rugged. The ground was paved with long bluestone, which was very flat. Moreover, the road on the mountain path was wide, and there were a lot of people. However, it was not crowded at all.

Duanmu Kuang followed the Horse-Face outer sect disciples all the way up. They did not line up. This attracted a lot of strange gazes and whispers from the crowd. However, he didn't care. He followed closely behind the Horse-Face outer sect disciple. He enjoyed the scenery along the way.

"This big sect is really good. It has beautiful scenery." Duanmu Kuang sighed with emotion. The scenery along the way was beautiful beyond compare. On both sides of the broad road. Rows of tall and straight trees were planted. They were so tall that they could reach to the sky. The lush branches and leaves covered the scorching sun in the sky as they walked on the mountain path. A gentle breeze caressed them, bringing with it a trace of refreshing, nameless spring water. It was unknown which side of the mountain was flowing, but a clear and melodious sound echoed by their ears. It made one feel relaxed and relaxed.

After walking for about two hours, Duanmu Kuang followed the Horse-Face outer sect disciple to a square halfway up the mountain. The square was very big, but at this moment, it was filled with a dense crowd of people.

"How many people are there? There should be at least tens of thousands of people, right?" Looking at the sea of people in the square, Duanmu Kuang was secretly shocked. There were already enough people on the way, but he didn't expect there to be even more people here. There were so many people here for the disciple recruitment test. It seemed like the Five Mountain Sect was really formidable.

Furthermore, this was something he saw within a day. The time limit for the Five Mountain Sect to recruit disciples was one month. In this way, every time the Five Mountain Sect took in disciples, there would be at least a few million people who came to take part in the examination. But how many disciples did the Five Mountain Sect have in total? From this, it could be seen how strict the requirements for the Five Mountain Sect to recruit disciples were.

Duanmu Kuang's heart was beating rapidly. Such a harsh test, so many candidates... It was really difficult to stand out from the crowd. In the beginning, he was full of confidence and set his goal to become an inner circle disciple. Now that he saw the scene on the square, he could not help but feel a headache.

"Hehe, Brother Mr Duanmu, are you scared? When I came to take the exam back then, I saw the same scene as you now!"

When he saw Duanmu Kuang looking at the sea of people in the square, the Horse-Face outer circle disciple said with a smile on his face. He then patted Duanmu Kuang's shoulder and pointed at the crowd on the square and said, "Brother Mr Duanmu, although there are a lot of people here, no more than half of them have passed the first round of the exam. 99% of them will be eliminated, not to mention there are two more rounds of the exam."

"I heard from Seventh Elder that you are only 15 years old, and you are already in the Innate Stage Realm. If you are placed in our Five Mountain Sect, you would be a first-class genius. You will definitely be able to pass the first round. As for the next two rounds, it will depend on you. Wait here for a moment. I will go greet him first. " After the Horse-Face outer sect disciple finished speaking, he ran away like a wisp of smoke.

After about the time it took to make a cup of tea, just as Duanmu Kuang was waiting impatiently, Horse-Face ran back.

"Brother Mr Duanmu, come with me." Without saying anything, he grabbed Duanmu Kuang's hand and jogged all the way to a young man in front of the square. The young man had his hands behind his back, and there was a trace of pride between his brows.

"Senior disciple Chen, I brought him here. Hehe!" The horse-faced outer circle disciple said in a flattering tone.

"Mmm... He's the one recommended by the Seventh Elder to take the test?" The youth's tone paused for a moment before recovering to his arrogance. When he first saw Duanmu Kuang, out of curiosity, he sensed Duanmu Kuang's realm. A fifteen year old Innate Stage Realm had slightly surprised him. But soon after, he felt relieved.

He had seen a lot of geniuses. If Duanmu Kuang couldn't pass the test... Not to mention fifteen years old Xiantian, so what if he was five years old Xiantian? The path of martial arts was not something that could be reached by cultivating at a fast speed. There was no extraordinary willpower and willpower. Today's genius might be tomorrow's mediocre talent.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes!" The Horse-Face outer disciple hurriedly nodded.

"Take him to a place, then go down the mountain to guard the door. Don't make a fool of yourself here." The young man said indifferently, then walked away.

"Yes, yes, yes. Thank you, Senior Chen. I'll go down right away..." The Horse-Face outer sect disciple bowed and said, "Bah, what are you pulling at?" After the young man had walked far away, he spat on the ground.

"Senior brother, that..." Duanmu Kuang wanted to say something to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say for a moment. Seeing the Horse-Face outer sect disciple in front of him being insulted like this, he was also furious. After all, the outer circle disciple was humiliated because he was brought here.

"Hehe, it's fine. I'm used to it. In the sect, isn't this how we outer sect disciples live? How can we have any dignity?" Horse-Face's outer sect disciple mocked himself.

"I'm sorry, senior brother. I've caused you to suffer." Duanmu Kuang felt a little sad.

"There's nothing to be sad about. It's just like this in the sect. Everyone said that the sect was good. Everyone wanted to enter the sect. I wonder how the sect is as deep as the sea. It's not as good as they think. If one's talent wasn't good, they could only become one of the thousands of green leaves that served as a foil to the red flowers. One can't achieve anything for the rest of one's life." The Horse-Face outer sect disciple looked at the surging crowd in the square and sighed.

After that, he turned around and patted Duanmu Kuang on the shoulder. "But you're different, Mr Duanmu. You're already an Innate Stage at such a young age. There aren't many in the sect. If you can pass the test and become an inner circle disciple... I'm sure the sect will focus on grooming me, and I have a bright future ahead of me!"

"Don't call me senior brother anymore, my name is Zhang Chen. You should just call me Zhang Chen. What kind of senior brother are we outer circle disciples? We usually see inner circle disciples. Core disciples, true disciples, which one of us outer circle disciples doesn't call senior brother and senior sister? Maybe you'll pass the exam today and become an inner circle disciple... From now on, I'll call you senior brother too!" At the end of his words, there was a hint of ridicule in his tone.

After the Horse-Face outer sect disciple finished speaking, he brought Duanmu Kuang to the front of the square where there was a square formation of people lined up. He cut in line, and after giving some instructions about the examination, he turned around and walked down the mountain.

After the Horse-Face outer sect disciple walked far away, Duanmu Kuang looked at the crowd around him. These people were the same as him; they were all teenagers. There were some who were about the same age as him, and there were also some who looked to be in their twenties. Even though the sun was currently high up in the sky, and the scorching sun was shining down on their foreheads, they were sweating profusely. However, without exception, they all had hopeful expressions on their faces. There was also a trace of excitement, uneasiness, and fear mixed within.

As Duanmu Kuang had cut in line, the surrounding youths naturally did not have a good impression of him. However, no one showed any dissatisfaction. He was personally brought here by the sect disciples, and the youths beside him were afraid of offending him. They were all far away from him, and there were a few empty spots.

The examination venue was still far away from him, and there were densely packed human heads in front of him. Duanmu Kuang tried to stand on his tiptoes, but he could not see clearly, and the youths beside him did not pay him any attention. He was happy to be idle, and leisurely followed the square formation of the examination. He slowly advanced forward.

About two hours later, as the stream of people advanced... The location of the examination gradually appeared in front of Duanmu Kuang. At the very front of the square, there were three sheds built, and there were always some people sitting inside. In front of the sheds in front of Duanmu Kuang, there were crystal balls placed on both ends of the ground. The runes on the crystal balls flickered, emitting a pale yellow light. The light from both sides intertwined, forming a mirror-like wall of light on top of the crystal ball.
