Wow~
After passing the sword formation, the puppets will no longer attack, and they have passed the second test.
Originally, there were 16 people in the first echelon at the end of the journey, but now, only 10 people have passed the sword formation. Most of these practitioners are four-star martial arts masters, only three are three-star martial arts masters, two of them are at the peak of three-star martial arts masters, and Yang Qi is only at the early stage of three-star martial arts masters.
Especially at the end when Yang Qi faced the attack of four puppets, if it were them, they would probably only be able to try to get through by getting injured, and they would definitely not be able to pass through the sword formation as easily as Yang Qi.
“Huh~”
Yang Qi let out a long breath. He knew very well that if he had not relied on the body refining flow to consume less energy than ordinary practitioners, it would not be so easy for him to pass through the sword formation when the four puppets attacked.
"Brother Yang has great skills!"
The four-star martial master who had invited Yang Qi before bowed and smiled. Although Yang Qi was only at the early stage of the three-star martial master level, he had comprehended the sword intent and seemed to have also cultivated the body flow. In terms of combat power, he was no less than the geniuses of the four-star martial masters.
“I also took advantage of the body-refining flow.” Yang Qi said modestly. If he hadn’t practiced the body-refining flow as well, it would have been impossible for him to pass through the sword formation so easily.
"This is also Brother Yang's ability." The four-star martial arts master said with a smile.
"The incense is almost burned." At this moment, a slightly low voice was heard.
Hearing this, everyone looked at the burning incense not far away. At this time, only about a quarter of it was left. In the sword formation, they were fully engaged in dealing with the puppets, and they did not feel that time was passing quickly. After leaving the sword formation, they found that the fastest practitioner had also used three quarters of the incense stick's time!
"For the rest, I'm afraid only the second echelon still has hope." Yang Qi sighed lightly. The second echelon is about eight-tenths of the way away from passing the battle. In the remaining time, only the second echelon still has hope.
As for the other practitioners, they had not even passed half of the sword formation. Even if they would not encounter any major setbacks on their journey ahead, there was not enough time.
“I hope they can pass.” The four-star martial master also sighed. The “them” he mentioned were the practitioners who retreated from the first echelon to the second echelon.
After all, everyone had joined forces before, and although no one had the energy to help others during the assessment, at this moment they still hoped that these former companions could pass the sword formation and pass the second assessment.
In the entrance examinations of other super sects, the competition between practitioners is very clear, but in the Tianjian Sect's examination, this kind of competition is not very big, because the Tianjian Sect's examination is too difficult. The practitioners who take the examination are more often fighting against the Tianjian Sect's examination.
"Fortunately, I passed." Not far away, Liu Fei breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Yang Qi walk out of the sword formation. At the last moment, the four puppets attacked together, and she was worried about Yang Qi.
Unexpectedly, Yang Qi could actually unleash such a powerful attack at that time. While secretly happy for Yang Qi, Liu Fei also understood why Lei Yun had mentioned that Yang Qi had good luck in this test.
Because in this second test, the body-refining practitioners have an advantage. Relying on their strong bodies, the consumption is naturally much smaller. Otherwise, the consumption is too great, and even a four-star martial arts master may fail.
The number of people in the second echelon is several times that of the majority echelon, a total of forty or fifty people, including practitioners who retreated from the first echelon. As the second echelon advances, its number begins to decrease rapidly.
The last section of the journey seemed like an insurmountable barrier, stopping many talented practitioners in their tracks.
Finally, after a fierce battle, the second echelon passed the second test, but only about ten practitioners were left. The team of forty or fifty people had lost two-thirds of its members.
Moreover, except for a few who were not injured, all the other practitioners who passed the test had injuries to varying degrees. However, being able to pass the second test made these injuries completely worthwhile for everyone.
"They have no hope." Looking at the third echelon who had only traveled two-thirds of the way through the formation, everyone couldn't help but sigh. There was less than one-tenth of the incense left, and it was impossible for other practitioners to travel one-third of the way in such a short time.
“Go!”
In the Tianyuan Sword Formation, none of the practitioners taking the test gave up. They fought with the puppets again and again, and were either repelled or slowly advanced.
Every cultivator who could pass the registration requirements and the first test was a genius. If they were placed in other sects, even in the same nine major sects, they would have a great chance of passing the sect entrance test. However, in the Tianjian Sect's sect entrance test, they could only stop at the second test.
"It's not that you are not good enough, but the requirements of Tianjian Sect for accepting disciples are too high." Yang Qi sighed in his heart. These practitioners never gave up even at the end.
But an assessment is an assessment, and rules are rules. When the incense stick is completely burned out, it’s time for the second assessment!
"The time for the second test is up." As the thundercloud announced the end of time, the Tianyuan Sword Formation puppet stopped and all the practitioners withdrew from the sword formation.
The practitioners who failed the second test all looked gloomy. Among their peers, they were considered the top talents, but they couldn't even pass the second test of Tianjianmen.
Nearly 300 people took part in the second test, but only 26 of them passed! Less than one-tenth! And these 26 people still have to take part in the third test. No one knows how many of them will be able to join the Tianjian Sect in the end.
“Now we begin the final test. As long as you pass it, you will become disciples of Tianjian Sect.” Yun Lan’s eyes fell on Yang Qi and the twenty-six others, and he said calmly.
“Can you let us take a break…” Upon hearing this, a three-star late-stage martial arts master hurriedly asked.
In order to pass the second test, many practitioners in the second echelon were injured and their energy was almost exhausted. Even the practitioners in the first echelon were not much better. Now that the third test was about to begin, their chances of passing were almost zero.
"Are you sure you want to rest?" Lei Yun smiled and said, "The third test does not require energy. As long as you can move, you can take the test. The sooner you take the test, the better."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. The third test did not require energy. Could it be the same test as the Heart Refining Array that tested one's state of mind
“It can’t be the Heart Refining Formation!” Yang Qi shook his head slightly. A cultivator who could pass two tests and reach the third test could be said to be good in terms of cultivation, state of mind, or swordsmanship. There was no point in testing the state of mind.
"Senior, what is the third test?" Yang Qi asked.
Lei Yun chuckled and said, "In fact, I have already given you the answer to the third test in the second test."
The answer was given, and it was given in the second test
Lei Yun's words left everyone confused. (To be continued)
