Chapter 1115 The Test (below)
Chapter 1115 – Examination (Next)
Black Cloud Mountain wasn’t too big, but it was still difficult to find thirty pieces of lucite in a short period of time.
What’s more, there were enough seventeen people who entered Black Cloud Mountain, and the Lucid Mulberry Stones that Murek Cloud had people place in advance were only three hundred or so.
Even if every single Ryusan stone was found, at most, only eleven or twelve people would be able to pass the test.
In the Black Cloud Mountain, Xu Chuniang also encountered a little bit of trouble.
Looking at the two people who suddenly appeared in front of her and blocked her way, she said nothing and directly struck out.
The two people blocking the way didn’t expect her to be so bold, and after their surprise, they rushed to counterattack, but their speed was half a beat slower.
Xu Chuniang’s figure swayed lightly, closing in on one of the two before they could react, locking onto his figure and raising her hand towards his head.
The moment the palm fell, the man’s pupils shrunk violently, his face turning white with fear, using all his strength to dodge sideways, but only managing to avoid the vitals by tilting his head.
A glistening white palm brushed past his ear and landed on his shoulder.
With the fall of that palm, his shoulder was dented fiercely, and blood mixed with bone crumbs flowed out from the wound.
With just this one move, the difference was immediate.
Seeing Xu Chuniang seemingly about to continue striking, he shouted urgently, “Fellow Daoist, wait! I have no intention of offending, I am willing to hand over all the Liusang stones on my body to you, please spare my life!”
As his words fell, a small packet of Liusang stones was thrown from his hands.
Xu Chuniang’s figure slightly paused, and after her divine sense scratched through the Ryuzang stones, she took them and looked at the other man.
The other person was stared at by her, and instantly, cold sweat beaded on his face as he resigned himself to removing the Ryuzang stones from his body and presenting them with both hands.
“Fellow Daoist, all the Ryusan stones on my body are here.”
Xu Chuniang took the Ryusang stones and ignored the two men, turning around and leaving Black Cloud Mountain.
She had already collected a dozen or so Lucid Mulberry Stones, and with the ones on these two people, she had already made up the number of thirty, so she didn’t need to stay in the mountain any longer.
Only after confirming her departure did the two men glance at each other with palpitations, each seeing the fear and gratitude in the other’s eyes.
The injured devil cultivator’s face turned white, “Her strikes were so fast, just now if it wasn’t for me dodging in time, I’m afraid that I’d be dead at this moment.”
The companion thought deeply, just now that time, if the other party had rushed at him, he wouldn’t have been able to avoid it.
“Originally thought that through the first test, we are already the best, when it is really a person outside the people, outside the sky …… good thing that she is too lazy to entangle with us, otherwise you and I will have to be handed over here today.”
Briefly, not only will the two be surprised, but also subdued a lot of people hidden in the dark, some people who originally intended to make a move, measuring Xu Chuniang’s eyes, there is hesitation and scruples.
Settling her opponents so lightly was enough to show that she was not on the same level of strength as those two.
Unexpectedly, there was actually such a powerful cultivator among the contenders this time, and before this, they didn’t even know that there was such a person in Profound City.
Seeing that Xu Chuniang was about to leave Black Cloud Mountain, some people were unable to calm down.
“She’s already gathered enough Liusang stones, should we make a move and leave her behind?”
“Do it? Heh, can you keep her? Go yourself if you want to die, don’t drag us along.”
The person who spoke earlier was reluctant, but if he was to act alone, he was unwilling to do so.
In the end, the person hidden in the dark did not act rashly, calmly watching that figure gradually go away.
After leaving Black Cloud Mountain, Xu Chuniang felt that the several lines of sight staring at her had all disappeared. She didn’t care, and straight away, she evaded towards the several figures at the bottom of the mountain, handing over the Liusang Stone in her hand to one of the Heavenly Demons.
“Not bad, quite fast with your hands, and you’ve done it crisply.”
The Heavenly Devil received the Ryusan stone, the devil’s thoughts casually swept through it and put it away, “Congratulations on passing the second test, go and wait on the side.”
Xu Chuniang glanced in the direction the other party pointed, there were already two cultivators who had passed the test there.
She walked over in silence, ignoring the gazes of the others that fell upon her, quietly waiting for the second round of tests to end.
Just now, in the Black Cloud Mountain, when she was blocked by those two people, she had many kinds of means to clean up after them.
In the end, she chose the most direct one, which could display a certain amount of strength and make people feel that she wasn’t to be messed with, without being too out of the limelight and attracting too much attention.
As time passed, the fight in the mountain became more and more white-hot, and from time to time, there were one or two cultivators, who had successfully collected all the Lucid Sang Stones and left the Black Cloud Mountain.
Only their bodies, more or less with some injuries, and the later the cultivator left Black Cloud Mountain, the heavier the injuries on their bodies.
Those like Xu Chuniang, who did not have a single injury on their bodies, were only the first two or three to pass the test.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Mure Yun stopped the work in his hands, put away the half-carved wooden sculpture, and got up to look over towards the few people.
Yesterday when they entered the mountain, there were still seventeen people, those who successfully passed the second test, there were only nine people left, and there were even five people who died in the fight for the Ryusan stone.
Meeting Mureyun’s gaze, the remaining nine people hurriedly got up, their moods both expectant and somewhat apprehensive.
“Congratulations to all of you for passing the second test, the next third test? it’s hard to say it’s hard and easy to say it’s easy.”
Mu Yun’s expression was gentle, through those projections, she already had a rough understanding of these people’s strength, there were a few good seedlings that could barely be used.
“Wei Ming, Hua Jing, Xu Chuniang.”
She looked towards the three people whose names were named, her face bringing out some admiration.
“I’ve seen the performance of the three of you, and it’s indeed good, I announce that you don’t need to undergo the third round of tests, and will directly join my command as my personal soldiers, to be personally led by me.”
“Yes.”
A few people were a bit surprised at this result, but they quickly accepted the arrangement.
To be given preferential treatment and exempted from participating in the third round of tests was an affirmation of their strength.
Muren Yun looked towards the remaining six, the smile at the corner of his mouth growing milder, “As for you all, as long as you pass the third round of tests, you can become my personal soldiers just the same.”
Saying that, she took out an ancient coin and gently tossed it upwards, catching it in her hand again.
“This ancient coin has a positive and negative side, one side is life, the other side is death, you each have one chance to toss the coin, if you hit the positive side, you will live; if you hit the negative side, you will die.”
Hearing the words of Mureyun, the remaining six people frowned, and some sense of absurdity arose in their hearts.
“Your Highness, it’s too much of a child’s play to use this as a way of assessment, isn’t it?”
“Yes, how can a coin toss be used to determine whether we live or die?”
Listening to the protests of several people, Mu Yun’s face did not change.
“Luck is also a part of strength, sometimes it is even more important than strength, if you guys were strong enough, how could you face such a choice?”
