C25 The Martial Arts Institute Exam
Looking at the inscrutable man, Jean's face grew serious. The appearance of this person meant that the examination was about to begin. Su Qian attached great importance to this time. Naturally, he did not want to appear at this moment at all!
As for the remaining participants, they naturally became serious as well. Then, under the lead of that man, the three hundred experts who had participated in the examination this time arrived at the center of the Qin Huang Martial Arts Institute's largest Martial Arts Practice Field in an orderly manner.
As everyone lined up, the man who was in charge of leading the group arrived at the tall platform in the center. After saying a few words to a white-haired old man, he retreated to the side, while the old man seized the opportunity to stand up and walk in front of the three hundred examiners.
The old man's footsteps seemed ordinary and even somewhat weak. However, through the trace of weakness, anyone with discerning eyes could see that his footsteps were solid. Step by step, he walked over. There were traces of strong wind behind him. The dust that the strong wind passed by did not move at all.
If he had not controlled his own spiritual power to an extremely high level, he would not have been able to do this no matter what. Although the old man's figure was slightly thin, his face was rosy and his breathing carried a supreme dignity.
He took a few square steps and arrived in front of everyone. When he came in close contact with them, Su Qian was even more surprised to discover that there was an extremely overbearing power hidden within the old man's withered body.
Because even if the old man were to approach him at a close distance, he would not be able to see through the old man's cultivation level. That wasn't all. Even if the old man didn't speak, he still felt a natural pressure. It was as if he had become one with heaven and earth, making one's breathing feel heavy.
A large number of examinees didn't even dare to look directly at the old man. As for Su Ling, although he was a little surprised, it wasn't to the extent that he didn't even dare to look straight at him. However, that oppressive feeling that arose from the depths of his soul didn't even have the possibility of concealing it.
As he looked at the crane haired old man, Su Rang endlessly sighed with emotion in his heart. It would not be easy for him to reach this level even if he worked a hundred times harder. However, as a person who had lived two lives, Su Qian was already prepared to accept the challenge.
"Everyone, I am the Chief Emissaries of the Qin Huang Martial Arts Institute, Lee Qiu. Normally, when the Dean is busy, everything will be handled by my president, the Martial Arts Institute. " First, I represent the Great Qin Empire to welcome all of you to participate in the exam! " With a wave of his sleeve, the old man spoke in a leisurely manner.
His voice was not loud, but it carried a solemn rhythm. Each and every word sounded like thunder in the ears of the three hundred examiners. However, this kind of overbearing power was like a pure and thick liquor. Although it was terrifying, it was hard to resist.
The so-called position of the Martial Arts Institute's Privy Envoy was equivalent to the Martial Arts Institute's Principal. However, according to the tradition, this Principal was both appointed by the Emperor of the Empire. However, as Lee Qiu had said, he was the ruler of the Martial Arts Institute most of the time.
"I'm afraid that everyone knows that I won't speak any more about the rules of our Martial Arts Institute's exam since I've summoned all of you here today. The results of this exam will be ranked according to the four grades of low-grade, middle-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.
At that time, one hundred of the most outstanding examinees will be recruited into the Martial Arts Institute. At the beginning, the resources will be divided according to the rankings you've obtained during the exam. As for what resources you would be able to obtain in the subsequent ten years, it would depend on the hard work of everyone present.
The examination this time was divided into a total of three areas, which tested everyone's ability to resist pressure, ability, and willpower. As for the specific details, they would be clear very soon, and the top ten students that were accepted this time. At that time, they would be personally summoned by the Dean!
"Finally, I wish you all the best!" Seeing no one interrupt, Lee Qiu continued.
After listening to Lee Qiu's words, everyone had a general understanding of the test. However, the three tests did not sound complicated. However, the name of the Qin Huang Martial Arts Institute spread throughout the Burning Sky Continent. If it was really that simple, it would be impossible for it to remain standing for such a long time.
Buzz!
As Lee Qiu's voice fell, he didn't wait for the three hundred examiners to ask questions. Suddenly, an inexplicable pressure came from all directions. The terrifying power was as fierce and overbearing as Mount Tai.
The dark clouds above the dome of the sky gathered crazily. Under the pressure, the wild wind was instantly enveloped by darkness. The fierce lightning kept striking down, and the entire space was instantly broken into pieces. It was as if the end of the world had arrived. The three hundred examiners were instantly shocked.
Then, a heavy force gathered from within his Dantian, and Su Rang felt a pair of sharp claws constantly moving within his body. Unknowingly, they turned into sharp blades and started to destroy the normal circulation of spiritual energy in his body.
As the spiritual energy in his body was quickly messed up, his blood and qi started to surge. His body seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't move at all. Under the tremendous pressure, his bones and meridians were in extreme pain. Although there were no changes on the surface, his heart was already in turmoil.
This power came out of thin air, but it suddenly occupied his entire body. That feeling was like ripping silk off a cocoon. It was extremely painful, and as he breathed, it gradually became dull. Su Rang could clearly feel that his defense was rapidly entering a state of collapse!
"Pu!"
Beside Su Rang, a large number of examinees spat out a mouthful of blood in the face of this sudden pressure. Instantly, the entire martial arts field was filled with blood energy. The smell of blood was so intense that it made people feel like vomiting.
The scarlet sky became even more terrifying under the gloomy thunderclaps, and the boiling aura became increasingly stronger as it connected the heavens and the earth. It was as if everything in the world had been swept into this majestic aura vortex at this moment!
The meat grinder formed an extremely terrifying pressure, and under the pressure, a large number of examinees began to be unable to bear it. Unknowingly, there were already powerhouses who fainted due to pain, and there were even some whose bones and bones were broken bit by bit due to insufficient strength due to the enormous pressure.
Pain, distortion, tearing!
Gradually, Su Rang was already somewhat unable to persist any longer. His face twisted wildly. His originally delicate and delicate appearance gradually became hideous and terrifying, but compared to the examinees who knelt on the ground, Su Rang still stood upright on the spot.
At this moment, Su Ling didn't immediately mobilize his strength. On the contrary, he wanted to use this oppressive strength to temper his physical body. Such tyrannical strength was rare. If he didn't cherish it properly and missed it, he would regret it.
Hao Ri's eyes slowly swept across the three hundred experts present. As the source of the aura, Lee Qiu's face didn't have the slightest ripple. It was hard to tell what he was thinking with such a calm expression, but just the aura pressure alone was enough to terrify many people.
"Oh!"
Persisting resolutely, Su Ling let the medicinal Spiritual Sense connect to his Dantian and circulate it continuously. Endless spiritual energy penetrated into every part of his bones and meridians, continuously strengthening and resisting with all his might. But after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a Turbid Blood still surged into his chest in the end.
In the time it takes an incense stick to burn, two-thirds of the three hundred examiners had already fallen. These people who had fallen were in an extremely sorry state. Some had broken bones and internal injuries, and some even had their mental strength damaged to the point of becoming extremely foolish.
In order to prevent these fallen experts from dying, the Martial Arts Institute's experts who had been guarding the area had approached and dragged these people away as soon as they had fallen. After all, this was only an examination, and even the Privy Emissaries were unwilling to kill people.
Although life and death were determined by fate and wealth, if they used the name of the Qin Huang Martial Arts Institute, they could kill and appoint people at will. This wasn't done by a gentleman, and it would be criticized by all the strong people in the world. It would be even more harmful to the reputation of the Qin Empire!
As more and more candidates fell, the power released from Lee Qiu's body became more and more powerful. The power that could shatter the sky and overturn the mountains and rivers caused the mountains and rivers to lose color. The natural aura scattered on the bodies of the remaining experts made the situation worse.
On Su Qian's side, the degree of his fleshly body that had passed through in the time it takes an incense stick to burn had already become much more formidable. However, the side effects brought about by forcefully enduring were also very terrifying. Under the immense pain, the white clothes on his body had already turned into blood robes.
On the surface of his body, fresh blood continuously flowed from the depths of his pores. After solidifying, it was covered by a brand new layer of blood, layer after layer appearing even more terrifying under the reflection of the lightning.
At this moment, Su Rang could no longer tell whether it was blood or sweat on his body. Under the immense pressure, his body was already exhausted. If he continued to grit his teeth and persevere, he would probably fall down soon as well.
"Swallowing the heavens and devouring the earth!"
Power spread across every part of his body, just as this line was about to fall. Su Rang let out an explosive shout in his heart, devouring the Martial Souls's strength at full power. The energy runes that were scattered about turned into an inescapable net through his dantian. Then, they lingered on the surface of his body.
The violent aura caused the might of the whale to swallow the heavens and earth, but when it landed on Su Qian's body, it was quickly devoured. Under the medicinal Creation Martial Soul, the medicinal Chaos Beads naturally took advantage of the opportunity to move as well. Seventy percent of the energy absorbed by the devouring medicinal Martial Souls was directly stored into his bag.
Following the use of the devouring medicinal Martial Soulss, Su Genton felt the pressure lighten. Then, through this powerful aura, he began to comprehend the dignity and solemnity of a super expert. He was able to rely on his aura to kill without being noticed. Under the enormous pressure, Su Ling had actually comprehended quite a few things!
However, although the pressure on Su Rang's side gradually became smaller, the number of powerhouses that collapsed around him became more and more. After an entire two hours passed, the remaining powerhouses that were still persisting were only left with a mere fifty people.
Four hours passed, and only ten people were making their final stand. And the six hours had disappeared, and only five people remained of the experts left in the plaza!
And at this moment, the expressions of these five experts were all very ugly, even though the devouring Martial Soulss had been fully opened. But in front of super experts, Su Rang did not dare to rashly use medicinal Chaos Beads to absorb. Over time, the pressure of the aura reached its greatest value. Su Rang naturally had a feeling that he could not hold on any longer.
The reason why he was unwilling to collapse after a long time was naturally because the expressions of the four fellows beside him were not good either. His face twisted wildly as his body trembled uncontrollably. The bones and bones in his body had long been torn to shreds under the intense pressure.
Crack!
The two leg bones shattered under the tremendous pressure. He took the opportunity to draw out the medicinal Jinghong tied to his waist and carry it on the ground to prevent himself from falling. The four people beside him were already like mud at this moment. They collapsed on the ground and did their final struggle and resistance.
