The dark sword tower reaching the sky is like an unsheathed sword piercing the sky, surrounded by the looming sword energy.
The square was more or less covered with snowflakes, but there was not a single snowflake within a few meters of the dark sword tower.
The jet black sword tower covers an area of several miles, and around the jet black sword tower are hundreds of powerful guards in blue. Standing at the head of the jet black sword tower are ten big men wearing purple robes.
.
Under the leadership of Zi Ning, Ye Chen and other young people who passed the initial review walked through several huge rocks and came to these blue-clad guards.
Almost as soon as he entered this area, hundreds of sharp gazes came over him, and the cold wind blew across the ground, picking up flakes of snow and leading to a chilling atmosphere.
Zi Ning, the leader, still had a smile on her face and turned a blind eye to those sharp eyes. However, the young people following her could not be as calm as Zi Ning. Except for a few people, everyone retreated for a few seconds.
Step, if the eyes of those soldiers before brought them fear, and these eyes made them feel as cold as hell.
Looking around casually, Ye Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
The blue-clothed guards standing around were all warriors in the martial arts realm, and each of them was full of fierce aura. They had obviously been baptized by countless battles. What Ye Chen was concerned about was the ten purple-clothed warriors leading them. There were ten of them.
Although the aura on his body was weak, his aura was extremely stable. After a pause, Ye Chen said to himself: "With ten Qi Martial Realm warriors, the strength of this Jade Emperor Academy is not weak!"
"Tsk, tsk, there are so many Qi Martial Realm warriors in just one academy, and there must be no shortage of Sword God Sects! Remember, a strong man who looks up to the sky never only looks up to the sky above his head!" Huo Qilin said
A lazy voice sounded in Ye Chen's heart. After saying this, Huo Qilin began to practice again. How could he, who was once a strong man, endure being weak now?
Hearing this, Ye Chen smiled slightly. He was not a hero, but he still wanted to fly in the nine heavens.
Ye Chen raised his eyes slightly, staring at the sky-reaching sword tower in front of him, with a hint of contemplation in his eyes, as if he didn't notice those sharp gazes.
Compared with Ye Chen and Zi Ning's indifference, the fat man Xiao Ziyun looked embarrassed and broke out in a cold sweat. However, when he was about to retreat, his eyes touched Ye Chen's back and he suddenly stopped.
Glancing at Ye Chen strangely, Zi Ning wiped her lips and smiled, then turned away and looked at the cautious young people, smiling and saying: "The road to martial arts is full of difficulties. Although we work hard to pursue it, the further we go, the worse it becomes.
It's hard to move even an inch, and what you need is a firm heart that is fearless. If you are even afraid of their eyes, then there is no point in pursuing the path of being strong!"
Hearing this, the young people who retreated all looked guilty. They naturally understood this simple truth, but sometimes understanding and implementing it was another matter.
In this regard, Zi Ning did not blame those who retreated. Strong people are always made through hardships, and these young people in front of them are just flowers raised in a greenhouse.
Turning around, Zi Ning twisted her waist as thin as a water snake, held her slender jade hands together, and said to the ten purple-clothed warriors at the head: "Ten of you can start!"
The purple-clothed warrior at the head was a big man with a scar on his face. The scar spanned the whole face of the big man, adding a bit of ferocity to the big man in vain.
However, the moment his eyes touched Zi Ning, a trace of tenderness appeared on the big man's face. His sharp eyes swept across Ye Chen and others, and he said in a deep voice: "I wonder how this session will be?"
"Haha! You'll know if you try it, won't you?" Zi Ning smiled brightly and folded her hands across her chest. The jade rabbit that was about to pop out on her chest made the young people around her thirsty for a while.
"Start!" The scarred man turned away and nodded to the nine people beside him. The ten people flashed out at the same time, turning into a stream of light and running towards ten different directions. The sword behind him simultaneously made a sword roar, and in the
In the envious eyes of everyone, ten sharp swords of different shapes floated quickly at the feet of the ten people, with their fingertips flying, and sword energy dancing on the fingertips of the ten people.
The bodies of the ten people overflowed with different colors of true energy, wrapping the entire sword. Their bodies floated upward slowly. The influence of weight had no effect on them. The woman in the open space held her face with her hands, her eyes trembling.
Staring at the ten people, the young man looked excited and imagined that one day he would soar into the sky with his own power.
"Quick!" A cold shout floated out from the mouths of the ten people, as loud as thunder from the distance. The gathered sword energy fell weakly like a kite with a broken string, and rushed directly towards the dark sword tower.
The sword energy was strangely attracted to the pitch-black sword tower. In an instant, the entire sword tower shook, and the sword energy that shot straight into the sky burst out from the top of the tower.
A sword chant echoed loudly in this area, and as the sword chant sounded, ten figures slowly fell from the air.
"Open the tower!" The sound of the sword chant was still lingering, and a deep voice floated out of the mouth of the middle-aged man with the scar.
The sword energy rushed towards the front of the sword tower, and the closed black door slowly opened with a creaking sound, and a sharp breath seeped out.
Endless sword energy emerged from the dark hole, looking like a ferocious monster from a distance, and endless pressure also emerged from the sword tower.
The blue-clothed guards who were standing around all took a few steps back. This was the case for these blue-clothed guards. What's more, these young people participating in the assessment had cold sweat on their faces and their bodies were cluttered.
A few steps later, there were even some weak young people sitting directly on the ground, breathing heavily, their faces abnormally red, and this aura was extremely powerful.
"Enter the tower to start the final test!" Zi Ning's face rarely stopped smiling, and she had a cold face. The pretty face under the blue silk stockings had an indescribable coldness.
Entering the tower? When they saw the terrifying sword energy at the entrance of the dark sword tower, everyone couldn't help but take a breath, not to mention the pressure coming out of thin air made them extremely stiff.
"To a certain extent, this is the real test. This test also determines your grades when you enter the academy!" Zi Ning said lightly, looking at the people behind her with indifferent eyes.
"This sword tower is pretty good. It seems to have been made by someone in the Soul Martial Realm, but its power is still a bit lacking!" Huo Qilin's old-fashioned voice suddenly sounded in Ye Chen's heart.
"Soul Martial Realm?" Ye Chen used his soul power to communicate with Huo Qilin. Huo Qilin answered very readily this time: "To a certain extent, this tower has integrated the artistic conception realized by Soul Martial Realm warriors! However,
It is extremely troublesome to activate this tower. It seems that the ten Qi Martial Realm warriors were operating this tower earlier. Haha, okay, boy, you are also delayed, and the girl is watching you?"
Before he finished speaking, Ye Chen raised his eyes slightly and met Zi Ning's doubtful gaze, while the young people who were standing next to him all headed towards the dark cave entrance.
Cold sweat dripped down their cheeks, and the movements of these young men were extremely slow. However, after they started to circulate their Qi, the pressure around them was greatly reduced, and their speed became sharper.
"This kid?" Yan Hong's lips trembled slightly, and Zi Ning looked at Ye Chen with confusion. It was not just her, but Ran Qian too.
At this moment, the only person who was still standing there except Ye Chen was Xiao Ziyun and Fatty Xiao. Xiao Ziyun's face was flushed, and his whole body was soaked with sweat. He panted and said to Ye Chen: "Brother, why don't you go in?
"Hearing this, Ye Chen shook his head slightly and took a step forward. Seeing Xiao Ziyun following him, Ye Chen slowed down to let him catch up.
As the distance from the door continued to shrink, the pressure around him also increased. The sweaty young people were all angry when they saw Ye Chen's contented expression. It was really infuriating.
The entire sword tower was made of some kind of black iron. Standing in front of the dark cave entrance, Ye Chen could see some strange marks on the floating tower door.
In Ye Chen's eyes, it was as if the terrifying sword energy did not exist. Under the surprised gazes of the young people behind him, Ye Chen suddenly stepped forward, and finally his body was swallowed up by the dark hole.
Seeing this, Zi Ning and the ten purple-clothed warriors all shook their heads slightly. Maybe this session can really produce good results.
Following Ye Chen's demonstration, those young people who were originally hesitant also entered. After a few moments, the door slowly closed, blocking the young people who came after them. Obviously, these young people who had not entered were no longer qualified for the test. In the dark
After the sword tower was closed, the shaking sword tower also became quiet, and all the terrifying sword energy around it disappeared into the sword tower.
The light in front of him suddenly dimmed. A moment later, Ye Chen felt his feet stepping on the hard stone surface. However, his feet were firmly on the ground. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Ye Chen's face changed in vain.
Endless sword energy surged around him like a tide, and at the same time, everything in front of him was pitch black, and what originally sounded was the sharp explosion.
Gradually, an extremely dazzling light appeared in front of Ye Chen's eyes...
