The sun has not yet risen and it is still dark. Many children have already arrived at the small city gate, crowding the city gate.
A closer look shows that the number of people gathered is not much smaller than that in the square yesterday. It can be seen that even the registered disciples of Xuanyang Sect can attract many mortals.
Naturally, Chen Lin was among them. He was wearing long gray casual clothes and carrying a small wooden sword on his back, standing among many peers.
He still didn't know the specific rules of the trial. The two sisters didn't want to talk more, and Chen Lin didn't want to ask. So he got up early again today and went to the city gate before dawn to wait.
"Stop crowding! Stop crowding! Everybody line up!"
"Otherwise I won't recognize anyone with the military stick in my hand!"
"Hey! Boy! I'm talking about you!"
Some soldiers in military uniforms gathered around the perimeter, holding wooden sticks in their hands, beating the ground constantly, shouting and warning everyone to maintain order.
When Chen Lin heard this, he raised his eyes and saw that several people had fierce expressions on their faces. He turned his eyes slightly and suddenly saw a middle-aged man among them, and couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
He knows this person.
Memories start to come back in my mind.
After he lost his parents that day, Master Bai Xian specially took him to Ningshui Prefecture to travel and relax in order to untie his knot.
When entering the city, Chen Lin remembered that it was this person who asked for the reward from Master Bai Xian, and he looked like a villain at that time.
Now seeing him acting like a fox and pretending to be a tiger, Chen Lin suddenly felt very unhappy with this person.
"snort!"
Chen Lin snorted coldly.
After looking at it for a long time, Chen Lin looked away, closed his eyes, gathered his mind, and began to rest with his eyes closed.
I thought silently in my heart: This is not the time to care about these trivial matters. The most important thing is to survive the test of being a registered disciple...
Listening to the buzzing noise around him, Chen Lin's heart stopped and he slowly regained his composure.
After calming down, he opened his eyes again, exhaled gently, and looked into the distance quietly with firm eyes.
The sun rose slowly, and when the sunlight slightly illuminated the city gate, several pieces of spiritual paper suddenly flew out from the city. Chen Lin looked up and saw five pieces of spiritual paper floating in the sky, with people standing on each piece of paper.
One person is the five immortal masters from yesterday.
Although many children had seen the scene of the immortal master flying yesterday, seeing it again now still caused everyone to exclaim and talk, and their eyes were full of yearning.
"Quiet." A young immortal master above said softly.
The aura-filled voice spread to everyone's ears along with the wind, and then everyone's chatter gradually decreased.
After waiting for a while, the scene was silent.
Zhang Zhiyan controlled the spirit paper to descend slightly, looked down at the crowd and said sternly:
"Listen, everyone, today we are selecting registered disciples. There is no limit to the number of places. The rules are as follows. Go straight ahead from the north gate and you will reach a rock wall. Those who climb the rock wall to the top of the mountain can become registered disciples! The time limit is one hour.
If you arrive within an hour, you will be considered a pass; if you fail to arrive in time, you will be considered a failure!"
Zhang Zhiyan finished speaking quickly, and there was another noise in the crowd. They all raised their heads and looked into the distance, looking for the rock wall Zhang Zhiyan mentioned.
It seems that the rules for recruiting registered disciples are very easy, just climb to the top of the mountain. But in fact, this is not the case. This test will test the children's endurance, perseverance, flexibility, physical strength and other qualities.
Although the rock wall is as far as the eye can see, as the saying goes, the distance is probably dozens of miles, and it must be a difficult journey for many children who are only ten years old.
Those who can successfully achieve it must have

Have extremely strong physical fitness.
Chen Lin looked up at the rock wall in the distance, calculated the approximate distance, and couldn't help but cheer himself up: Just run forward in one hour, whoever runs faster can...
He turned around and glanced at his peers around him. Their expressions suddenly became serious, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
In this case, everyone is a competitor...
Chen Lin's heart moved, and he immediately reached out to take off the wooden sword from his back and placed it on the ground. Then he threw all the sundries on his body on the same place, trying to reduce his weight.
When the people around him saw him acting like this, they immediately imitated him, and a crackling sound suddenly came from the ground.
"Set off!"
Without giving everyone time to prepare, a male immortal master in the sky suddenly roared.
The sound was like thunder in his ears. Chen Lin was so excited that he suddenly stopped his movements, stepped on the ground with his feet, and rushed forward at great speed.
As the male immortal master finished speaking, the crowd at the city gate suddenly became confused. It was already crowded, and now everyone wanted to rush forward together, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
But there are always some smart teenagers in the crowd. They rely on their own flexibility to dodge here and there, quickly avoid the crowded crowd, rush out of the large group in an instant, then distance themselves from the crowd, and rush forward in a swarm.
Chen Lin is one of them.
Thanks to more than a year of living in the Immortal Sect, he was able to drink spring water mixed with subtle spiritual energy every day. Over time, Chen Lin's physical fitness was greatly improved, making him significantly different from ordinary people of the same age.
Coupled with the daily hard practice of swordsmanship, this made his body stronger, and now his physical strength is better than that of many adults.
Chen Lin rushed forward with striding strides, constantly surpassing the young man in front, and opening a huge distance between him and the large army behind.
After jumping over most people, the people who rushed out at the beginning formed a small team. Everyone in the team kept moving forward at a constant speed. In order to preserve his strength, Chen Lin also followed the team.
There were about thirty people in front of him. Chen Lin took a closer look and found that the person in the lead looked very familiar. He was actually Fan Tianhe, who was knocked off the stage by the immortal master yesterday.
As expected, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. His steps are very light when he runs, as if he has learned Qing Kung Fu, and his speed is fast without seeming strenuous.
Most of the people behind him were wearing linen clothes and had dark skin. They were obviously boys and girls from the village.
Perhaps because they have been running and working in the mountains and forests for a long time, they have excellent physical strength and can keep up with young people like Fan Tianhe who have been practicing martial arts since childhood.
Everyone was breathing regularly and moving forward quietly. As their footsteps hit the ground, chaotic footsteps could be heard.
The road seemed to have been repaired by Xuanyang Gate and was very smooth. It didn't look crowded with more than 30 people running together.
The scene in front of him kept changing, and the trees around him passed by the corner of his eyes. Chen Lin kept following the crowd at the end.
Soon, half an hour passed quietly. As time passed, stragglers suddenly appeared in the small army of more than 30 people. The exhausted ones stopped on the roadside to rest.
Although Chen Lin's physique was different from ordinary people, he was out of breath after running for a long time, and beads of sweat were dripping down his face. His black hair had already been soaked with sweat, and the sweat slipped down and soaked his clothes.
"Um?"
Chen Lin suddenly saw the people running in front of him stopping one after another, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Why did they suddenly stop running?"
Chen Lin quickened his steps with doubtful thoughts. When he walked in and took a look, his face turned pale.
What was standing in front of everyone was a 20-something-year-old girl.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Big river!
There were about twenty teenagers standing helplessly on the shore.
No wonder they all ran away...
"There was still a bridge here when I came..."
"This bridge couldn't have been demolished by the immortal masters..."
"What should we do? How are we going to get there!? I don't know how to swim!"
The teenagers were frightened by the sudden turn of events.
Chen Lin looked over and found that the river was not fast and the sunlight was shining on the water, making it look sparkling.
At this time, several young men had already entered the water. They were very good at swimming and were swimming towards the other side, including Fan Tianhe, who was practicing martial arts.
But Chen Lin's face became ugly because he didn't know how to water...
Can we just stop here?
Chen Lin glanced at a group of his peers who were helpless on the shore. Many children were so anxious that tears welled up in their eyes.
no!
I can't give up!
Chen Lin gritted his teeth, made a decisive decision, and immediately turned around and ran upstream of the river.
If there is no bridge, then find a place with shallow water to spend time!
When the two dozen teenagers saw him running upstream, their eyes lit up, as if they had a backbone, and they were unwilling to give up. They followed Chen Lin upstream in a swarm.
Chen Lin was breathing heavily, his face was a little red, his eyebrows were tightened, and his eyes seemed to be out of focus. He gritted his teeth and kept moving forward.
Because there were more rivers blocking the road, Chen Lin, who was still controlling his speed, began to worry about not having enough time, so he immediately increased his running speed and started sprinting with all his strength.
Under Chen Lin's full strength, he quickly opened the distance between him and the crowd behind him. Only a few people could still follow Chen Lin closely.
Running all the way, there was no place where he could cross the river, which made Chen Lin anxious.
My nose is stretched painfully, my eyes are black, my chest feels tight, and my legs feel so heavy that I can no longer lift them up...
Fortunately, Xuanyangmen did not cut off the opportunity. After running for about a quarter of an hour, we finally reached a shoal that could only be flooded up to our calves.
Chen Lin's face lit up, and he stepped directly across the shallows regardless of his wet legs and feet.
Because the destination was on the rock wall directly in front of the north gate, he could only run back in the opposite direction after crossing the river. When Chen Lin, who had heavy legs, returned to the other side of the river again, he would be much better than a person who could swim.
It was delayed for two quarters of an hour.
Chen Lin glanced at the other side of the river and found that the large troops at the rear had caught up with many people. Some teenagers were sitting there with no energy left, staring blankly into the distance, their eyes dull, apparently giving up.
After just one glance, Chen Lin immediately ran forward.
He has no time to delay!
Chen Lin's eyes were firm and he kept running at a constant speed. From this moment on, his physical strength began to show his advantage, and he continued to surpass the young man in front of him who was walking slowly and had no physical strength.
Because the boots were filled with water and he had been running for a long time, the wet feet were in constant contact with the boots, causing constant friction between the toes on the soles of the feet. Chen Lin could feel the bleeding and pain on his feet.
Immediately, my thighs became heavier and heavier, and my whole body was dripping with sweat.
Fortunately, there was no big river in front of him. As he ran all the way, Chen Lin had forgotten the time and kept swinging his arms with his body's instinct. The smell of blood kept coming out of his mouth, but he did not give up. He could only see the rock wall that was getting closer and closer.
.
Soon, Chen Lin surpassed several people who knew how to swim before. On the way, he saw several people sitting on the same spot, panting heavily, as if they were exhausted.
Time passed quickly, and finally, Chen Lin, covered in sweat, came to the rock wall.
