"Haha..." Lei Yun laughed awkwardly, then looked at the formation and said, "Look, that boy is not bad, he should be able to get through the formation."
Yang Qi's face darkened when he saw Lei Yun trying to change the subject on purpose. He understood clearly that the method Lei Yun used to obtain the formation disk was probably dishonorable!
Lei Yun was a senior after all, so Yang Qi did not want to continue asking. He followed Lei Yun's gaze and when he saw the young man clearly, he was slightly stunned.
"It's him!"
There was a hint of surprise on Yang Qi's face. There was a familiar figure among the young men walking in the front. That young man was none other than Zhang Zhiyuan, whom he had met once in Wujun.
The formation set by Lin Qingyu mainly targets the mind of the practitioners. The stronger the soul, the more determined the will, and the stronger the resistance. Although the formation has been simplified and cannot achieve the effect of the formation outside Lingyun Valley, it is not so easy for these practitioners who come to participate in the sect entrance examination to pass easily.
"I must get out as soon as possible, otherwise I won't be able to hold on for long." Zhang Zhiyuan had a solemn expression on his face in the formation.
Soon after he entered the formation, a strange sound lingered in his ears. The sound kept hitting him, making his mind and spirit extremely tired. He felt like falling asleep immediately. However, he gritted his teeth and persisted, because he knew very well that if he fell asleep, he would fail this test.
Zhang Zhiyuan used all his strength to push the sword intent while looking for a way out of the formation. The formation had been simplified, so it was not difficult to get out of it, but the difficult part was blocking the strange sound that penetrated everywhere.
Wow~
After half an incense stick of time of traveling, when Zhang Zhiyuan felt he could not hold on any longer, he finally walked out of the formation. Several people had already passed through before him.
"Finally it came out." Zhang Zhiyuan looked towards the formation not far away and let out a long breath.
The second test lasted only one stick of incense. In the end, out of more than 800 people, only more than 60 passed the second test, a pass rate of less than one-tenth.
“Failed.”
“Almost.”
The hundreds of failed practitioners looked at the dozens of successful ones with a hint of resentment and envy on their faces. There were three tests, but they didn't even see the last one.
Lei Yun looked at the remaining sixty people and said loudly, "After you pass the third test, you can join our Tianjian Sect."
He had expected that more than 60 people could pass the test. Although this formation was not dangerous, it was even more dangerous than when Yang Qi and his companions encountered the Tianyuan Sword Formation. After all, if they joined forces, they would have a good chance of breaking through even if their individual strength was insufficient. However, the formation in front of them was aimed at a single practitioner, so they had to rely on themselves for everything.
Wow~
Lei Yun moved his hand, and a puppet appeared in front of everyone.
"Defeat the puppet in front of you and you will have passed the test." Lei Yun said lightly.
"Sword Tower?"
Looking at the puppet in front of him, Yang Qi's expression condensed. Just as he guessed, the puppet in front of him simulated the situation of the Sword Tower, but its strength was not that strong. The puppet's strength was probably around the first level of the Sword Tower. It was not too difficult to defeat it.
Finally, after several hours of competition, twenty out of more than sixty practitioners defeated the puppets and successfully passed the sect entrance examination. The Tianjian Sect's sect entrance examination also came to an end.
"There are actually twenty of them. I thought there would be at most ten people." Looking at the twenty people in front of him, Lei Yun couldn't help but frowned. Twenty people, in his opinion, were a bit too many.
The last time Tianjian Sect held the entrance examination, it only accepted six people, but now the number is more than twice as many!
“The publicity time for this sect entrance examination is longer. Even many practitioners from the Great Zhou Empire and the Holy Empire have come. It’s not surprising that there are twenty people.” Yang Qi said with a calm smile.
Among these twenty practitioners, there was Zhang Zhiyuan, whom he was familiar with. Among the practitioners who passed the assessment, Zhang Zhiyuan's performance was able to rank in the top five, which was already very good.
"Twenty people is fine, the rest is up to you." Lei Yun curled his lips and didn't care too much. Although Tianjian Sect didn't recruit many disciples, most of the time, the number was in the double digits, so twenty people was not too many.
The successful practitioners were all very excited, while the failed practitioners left in disappointment. Some of them still had the opportunity to participate in the next entrance examination of Tianjian Sect, but most of them could only choose the entrance examination of other sects. As a sword practitioner, it was inevitable that he felt a little disappointed that he could not join Tianjian Sect.
In the next few days, Yang Qi, Yun Lan and others gathered with Zhang Zhiyuan and other new members of the sect. After getting to know each other, Yang Qi went to the inn to meet Feng Yan.
"You came early?"
Seeing Yang Qi coming, Feng Yan's eyes flashed with surprise. It was not yet the fifteen days that she and Yang Qi had agreed upon.
"The sect admission test has ended. I don't need to deal with the remaining matters. I can feel more relaxed if I can complete my original promise sooner." Yang Qi smiled indifferently. The debt of favor is the hardest to repay. Feng Yan had put in a lot of effort to get the Phoenix Feather. Yang Qi didn't want to keep owing this favor.
Of course, the most important thing is that when he and Zhang Zhiyuan and others went out for a party yesterday, Wu Chi Cao once again went to the Tianjianmen headquarters to challenge, fortunately Yang Qi was not there at that time.
Upon learning that the martial arts fanatic Cao was coming to challenge him, Yang Qi immediately chose to come and fulfill his agreement with Feng Yan. He and the martial arts fanatic Cao were not far apart in strength. Although he had some advantages, it was not so easy to defeat Cao Yang. Moreover, for a martial arts fanatic like Cao Yang, defeating him would only make him more eager to fight and constantly challenge himself. Yang Qi did not want to be pestered by such a martial arts fanatic, which was the fundamental reason why he was in a hurry to find Feng Yan.
"Yeah?"
Feng Yan's gaze fell on Yang Qi and she said with a smile.
Hearing this, Yang Qi's face showed a trace of embarrassment. The imperial capital was so small, and the news of martial arts fanatic Cao coming to challenge him had been widely circulated before, so it was not surprising that Feng Yan knew about it.
"I wonder what you need me to do for you?" Yang Qi quickly changed the subject.
Although he had promised Feng Yan to help her complete a task, he had never asked what it was, mainly because he believed Feng Yan would not let him do something that would kill him. However, since he had decided to repay the favor, he naturally had to understand clearly what Feng Yan wanted him to do so that he could be prepared.
"You will know it when the time comes." Feng Yan said lightly, as if she was unwilling to say more about it.
Yang Qi smiled bitterly in his heart, but did not continue to ask, but said, "You have to tell me, where are we going next?"
"The Great Zhou Empire!"
Feng Yan said calmly.
"The Great Zhou Empire?"
Yang Qi was stunned, but he didn't expect Feng Yan to go to the Great Zhou Empire. Before, he was hunted by the Huangquan Sect and had to cross the Fierce Beast Mountains and escape into the territory of the Great Zhou Empire, but he was only in the outermost territory of the Great Empire.
