When Zhao Kui arrived at the registration point, an old man was standing there as if someone owed him eight lifetimes' worth of money. This person was an elder of the Falling Cloud Sect, and was a master of the ninth level of the Postnatal realm.

That old man cleared his throat and said with a hoarse voice, "Each person will pay the registration fee of 100 gold taels and then test their strength. Everyone, remember, if you fail the test, you will not return any gold taels. The old man pointed to a disciple of the Falling Cloud Sect. There were several large black iron blocks next to the disciple. The iron blocks were arranged in a neat row. There were two handles on the bars. Clearly, these were meant for testing examples.

After handing over the gold, Zhao Kui followed the crowd and walked to the side of the Falling Cloud Sect disciple. The disciple gathered his energy and said loudly: "Everyone listen up, from the youngest to the weakest, there are many different iron blocks, the second one is the Houtian first stage disciple, and so on, everyone does their best to lift them above their heads, don't force them too much, otherwise we won't be responsible if an accident happens!" Alright, the first one to go first. "

The first person had a big and sturdy back, and looked very fierce. He walked up and 'whoosh', and raised the first piece, and the martial arts apprentice didn't mean anything to him, and then walked to the second piece and lifted it up. That person looked very relaxed, as his strength had surpassed the first layer of the Pre-Sky Realm.

Putting down this piece of iron, he took a look at it, then walked resolutely to the third piece. This time, he rested for a long time, and let out a loud shout, and the veins on his arm bulged like earthworms. Unfortunately, when he raised the iron piece to his waist, he couldn't lift it up anymore, so he could only put it down, shaking his head dejectedly.

There was a flurry of discussion below, and quite a few people felt sorry for him. "It's a pity, his strength is almost at the second layer, a little more effort and he'll be able to succeed!" There were all kinds of expressions on the faces of the rest. Some were filled with envy, some with disdain, and some with an expressionless face.

Not long after, it was Zhao Kui's turn. He walked up to the fourth piece of metal and directly walked to it. The onlookers were greatly shocked. Could it be that his level had already reached the fourth layer? "It can't be. Judging from his physique, he should be quite small and small. The most powerful one in front is only at the second layer. Isn't he overestimating his own abilities too much?"

Zhao Kui did not pay attention to the crowd's discussions as his expression remained calm. His two hands grabbed onto the handle, and with a push, the iron piece was pulled over his head, "Oh my god, everyone exclaimed, fourth level precelestial ah, he looks to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, but he's already such a master, a genius!"

Zhao Kui, on the other hand, did not show any emotion on his face. He quietly walked to the fifth piece of iron, and at this moment, no one made a sound. Everyone held their breath, and the disciple in charge of the assessment reminded them, "Don't push yourself if you can't. It's not worth it if you're injured!"

Zhao Kui only felt a burning pain in his arms, and his muscles also started to spasm. The piece of metal that had been lifted started to slowly slide down, and Zhao Kui's mind was in a state of chaos, he could not think clearly anymore!

He had already reached the height of his shoulder, and would fall if he went any further. Zhao Kui's stubbornness rose at this moment, and the chaos in his mind was replaced by his determination to not lose and advance forward. Under his efforts, the iron bar slowly rose up, and everyone's hearts were in their throats, hoping that he would succeed.

Finally, under his hard work, the iron piece was lifted above their heads. Everyone began to cheer, 'Houtian realm strength is heavy!' They had witnessed a miracle! When the old man saw this, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Under the envious gazes of the crowd, Zhao Kui felt two pairs of resentful gazes sweeping over him. They were the two that he had humiliated yesterday, Young Master Hu and Young Master Lu. Zhao Kui smiled contemptuously.

After about three to four hours, this test of strength ended. At this time, the old man announced, "Next, according to your strengths, each of you will be given a backpack. You need to carry this backpack to the top of the mountain, and the top 30 will be allowed to enter our sect!"

As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked, and started discussing, "We have at least three to four hundred people on our side, and the Falling Cloud Sect has only taken thirty people, and there's not even one out of ten. Ah, the requirements are too strict, our strengths are mostly at the first or second stage of the Houtian realm, so there's no hope this time.

Zhao Kui thought to himself, "Although this mountain path winds down and I can't see the end, it's not difficult for me." With a relaxed expression, Zhao Kui crossed his arms and waited for the Fallen Cloud Sect to send out the package.

Unexpectedly, the old man spoke again, "We will distribute bags with different weights depending on each person's strength. The weight of the bag is 50 Jin, and the higher it goes, the heavier it becomes. Each time there is a different weight, the weight will increase by 50 Jin!"

Zhao Kui trembled with fear, "Good fellow, this Falling Cloud Sect's method of recruiting disciples is quite unique. This will greatly test one's willpower, and it has nothing to do with one's strength. Only someone with extremely strong willpower will be able to complete this task!"

Zhao Kui's bag weighed at least 300 kilograms and was filled with iron sand. Zhao Kui shouldered it. Although this weight was not a big weight for Zhao Kui, it was still quite impressive when he walked on it, not to mention that it was a mountain path. It would not be easy for him to reach the top of the mountain in the top 30!

Following the order, everyone started to run towards the top of the mountain. At the beginning, everyone's speed was not slow, because everyone was carrying a heavy object, their footsteps made a "dong dong dong" sound, but at this point, the effect of the so-called Qing Gong was no longer so great. No matter who carried the heavy object, their steps could not get any lighter.

Zhao Kui felt as if he was carrying a huge mountain on his back, which was abnormally heavy. His legs were also as if they were filled with lead, and with every step he took, it seemed as if a raging fire was burning his muscles, causing him a burning pain.

Suddenly, footsteps came from behind, and someone approached Zhao Kui. From the corner of his eyes, Zhao Kui saw that it was the Hu and Lu duo. They did not put in as much effort as everyone else, instead, they looked relaxed.

Zhao Kui was suddenly enlightened. They had actually cheated. With how unscrupulous they were, they definitely had the help of the Falling Cloud Sect. The two of them had evil smiles on their faces and were already running shoulder to shoulder with Zhao Kui.

Zhao Kui stared at the two of them coldly as the one surnamed Lu laughed sinisterly, "Hehe. Kid, now we will show you! Offending us will not end well! " With that, he charged towards Zhao Kui. If he were to be struck in the face, with Zhao Kui's current state, he would likely fall out of the mountain path and roll down from there, suffering heavy injuries!

When the people behind saw this, they cried out in alarm.
