Chapter 0005 is greatly stimulated

Only two youths bearing totemic pillars barely achieved victory by relying on the totem pillars, while none of the outer disciples from humble backgrounds managed to succeed

The scar on Zhong Yue's left arm was a result of being bitten by a fierce beast while saving Shui Qingyan

Soon it was Zhong Yue's turn, and Shui Qingyan could not help but show a look of concern. She took down the totem pillar from her back and said softly: "Brother Yue, you should still use my totem pillar..."

The high platform is surrounded by an invisible confinement, sealing off the platform, preventing the otherworldly demons from escaping. Being inherently bloodthirsty, they relentlessly attack the boy on the platform.

The terrifying speed and astonishing strength of the alien demon, which can kill with bare hands, is quite manageable for an energy cultivator. However, for outer disciples, it is simply an impossible task to accomplish

Zhong Yue's gaze grew increasingly bright, and he shook his head, saying: "No need!"

The young man, meanwhile, was struggling to defend himself, with blood continuously flowing from his body, occasionally struck by the monstrous creature, in a perilous situation

Suddenly, a judge in white pointed a finger, and that strange demon exploded with a loud bang, meeting an untimely death. The judge, with an expressionless face, said to the young man: "You are no longer able to continue fighting, step down. Next, Junshan Tribe, Junshan Clan, Jun Shaofei."

However, in comparison, Zhong Yue achieved the out-of-body experience in just a few hours using the visualization diagram of the Fire Calendar Palace taught by the Fire Seed Little Child. Such speed would surely be unbelievable if spoken of!

A proctor, with a dazed expression, murmured: "Several senior brothers, does this count as passing the assessment?"

Shui Qingyan's parents held a prominent position in the Shui Tu clan, and more than ten adult hunters escorted her to Jianmen. Unfortunately, they encountered a beast tide attack along the way, leaving only Shui Qingyan alive. Just as the girl was about to perish under the beast's kiss, it was Zhong Yue who saved her

The alien demon's arms resembled the forelegs of a mantis, with its hind legs bending backward, moving at an extremely fast speed, coming and going like the wind. It transformed into a shadow on the stage, swirling around the young boy, with its arms resembling two scythes continuously slashing at him

Zhong Yue's eyes brightened involuntarily, and he exclaimed in admiration, filled with curiosity about the totemic pillar: "The Qi Refiners use spirit to forge the totemic pillars; I wonder how they do it"

Disciple is at

In his eyes, the speed of the otherworldly creature was not particularly fast, and the force of its scythe-like arms was not overwhelmingly heavy. He could clearly capture every movement of the creature, and his limbs were eager to respond, which was quite peculiar

On the high platform, a fierce battle raged as a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old confronted a pitch-black otherworldly demon

On the high platform, only a solitary figure remains standing there

Above their heads, the blazing sun hung high, and the bright moon dangled, as if the sun, moon, and stars were much closer to him than ever before

Qingyan, have you already achieved soul separation?

The other examiners exchanged glances, as this was the first time they had encountered such a situation since taking charge of the Azure Sky Hall

Zhong Yue roared, like the sound of spring thunder crashing. At that moment, it seemed as if a deep dragon's roar echoed in the Azure Sky Hall. Some people appeared to see a ferocious dragon faintly emerging around Zhong Yue, coiling around his body

One by one, the examiners in white raised their heads, looking up at the stage in disbelief. There, at the edge of the high platform, lay the corpse of a strange demon, its ribs shattered by fists, the broken bones piercing its heart, having met a tragic end

Zhong Yue escorted her to Jianmen, and because of this experience, Shui Qingyan affectionately referred to Zhong Yue as Brother Yue

The sword gate on the stage opened with a thunderous sound, and a dark shadow rushed out from the gate, heading straight for Jun Shaofei. Its arm resembled a scythe, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived within three feet of Jun Shaofei, ready to behead him in the next moment, leaving him no time to react

This is the essence of mental strength

He did not use a soul, but instead killed the otherworldly demon with his fists

The assessment of the Azure Sky Hall tests both the soul's ability to leave the body and combat awareness, both of which are indispensable

Beneath their feet lies an invisible barrier, and below the barrier is an abyss of towering heights, with magnificent mountains rising and falling in a continuous expanse, and the vast wilderness stretching for a hundred thousand miles can almost be seen in its entirety

The white clouds drifted gently beneath their feet. Looking out, he could see the strange scenery of the vast wilderness, with towering icebergs, colossal trees shrouding hundreds of miles, roaring rivers rushing by, and unimaginably large lotus flowers, all magnificent beyond compare

Although the speed of the otherworldly demon on the stage had slowed down, it was still very fast for Jun Shaofei. This battle lasted for the duration of an incense stick, and only then did Jun Shaofei seize an opportunity, projecting his soul into the head of the otherworldly demon, severing its soul with his sword, and finally achieving victory

Shui Qingyan took down the small totem pillar from her back, her eyes sparkling as she whispered, "I, Shui Tushi, have a senior in the Sword Gate who bestowed upon me this totem pillar. It greatly accelerates my cultivation. Brother Yue, this assessment is extremely dangerous. Later, you take my totem pillar for the assessment, and once you pass, you can return it to me. This way, we can both succeed in the assessment."

Suddenly, the speed of this otherworldly creature slowed down abruptly, becoming half a beat slower. Although it was still extremely fast, it was no longer as elusive to the naked eye as it had been before

As time passed, one by one, the young boys and girls ascended the high platform, while from that sword gate, strange demons continuously emerged. Some of these youths could not even last a single round, being directly severed of their limbs by the demons and rescued by the examiners. Others fought valiantly but still could not hold on.

The dragon coils around the body

Laughter suddenly erupted from the audience, and someone whispered, "A disciple from a humble background should refrain from embarrassing themselves on stage..."

The battle on the stage has concluded, and an elderly man in a white robe glanced at the roster without raising his eyebrows: "Zhongshan Tribe, Zhongshan Clan, Zhongyue!"

He was unaware that his spirit had grown several times stronger than before. The otherworldly demon, which appeared to move at an incredible speed beyond the grasp of others, seemed rather ordinary in his eyes.

Another youth ascended the high platform, clearly hailing from a prominent family. As soon as he stood on the platform, he immediately thrust the totemic pillar in his hand into the ground. The totemic pillar began to glow with strange patterns, which gradually brightened and erupted outward in a dazzling display of designs.

Zhong Yue furrowed his brow slightly, revealing a look of confusion: "The speed of these alien demons does not seem that fast, and their strength is not necessarily greater than mine. Why do they all say that alien demons are unbeatable?"

The audience was silent.

Before the words had left his mouth, a thunderous sound erupted as the Sword Gate opened under the urging of a white-clad examiner. From within the gate came the chilling roar of a foreign demon that could seize one's soul. A shadow shot out like a sword, heading straight for Zhong Yue, its two scythe-like arms flashing like a bolt of silk on the platform, slicing through the air with two arcs of blade light.

At the foot of the high platform, many outer disciples looked up at the stage, only to see a young man who was thin and emaciated, dressed in tattered clothes, carrying a large medicine basket, appearing not to be there for the assessment, but rather as if he had come to gather herbs.

Indeed, Zhong Yue had cultivated for several years in the past, and now that he has broken through to the Out-of-Body Realm, he can only be considered of above-average aptitude among the tens of thousands of outer disciples, which would not attract much attention

Just now, they were all indifferent, but now they are incredibly stimulated and alert. However, they have no idea how to assess this evaluation.

At this point, Zhong Yue suddenly found himself unable to continue speaking, as he thought of himself. Shui Qingyan's cultivation speed could already be considered extremely fast; having joined the Sword Sect for only one year, she was already able to separate her soul and enter the Bikuang Hall for assessment, which was truly remarkable compared to many outer disciples.

The young girl is named Shui Qingyan, hailing from the Weishui tribe within the Dahuang Three Thousand Tribes. The Weishui region is characterized by its many wetlands, which is why the Weishui tribe is referred to as the Shui Tu clan, and its members often take water as their surname

Zhong Yue was quite moved, he looked up at the strange demon on the stage again and shook his head, saying: "No need, I want to try it myself"

The two individuals have entered the Azure Sky Hall, and it is evident that this hall truly lives up to the name of Azure Sky.

Zhong Yue and Shui Qingyan have known each other for a long time. Last year, Zhong Yue returned to his hometown, traversing the vast wilderness alone from the Zhongshan tribe to the sacred Jianmen. Along the way, he encountered Shui Qingyan by chance

Zhong Yue responded with a sound, ascended the high platform, took a long breath, and fixed his gaze firmly on the sword gate atop the platform

And now, this otherworldly demon was unexpectedly killed by a single punch from Zhong Yue, which left them all somewhat frantic

In the audience, several outer disciples, dressed in splendid attire, clearly hailing from prominent clans, were engaged in discussion about the异魔, demonstrating a profound understanding of its nature and lore. They remarked: "However, the异魔 has a significant weakness, which is its extremely fragile soul! During a confrontation, one only needs to extract the soul, penetrate into the异魔's mind sea, visualize the Sword Gate, and with a slash of sword energy, one can annihilate its soul, thus ensuring victory!"

At this moment, more than ten people have gathered in the Blue Sky Hall, standing before a high platform. This platform measures one hundred feet in both length and width, with a sword gate erected in the center, shaped like a sword

On the other side of the high platform, several examiners in white attire sat quietly, awaiting the outcome of the battle

This aberrant creature is a low-level demon raised by the Sword Gate for assessment purposes. It possesses great speed and strength, with arms like blades, making it certain to lose in close combat.

The totemic pillar is indeed extraordinarily marvelous

Another person shook his head and said: "The attack speed of the异魔 is extremely fast, and its strength is great. Engaging in close combat will undoubtedly result in a disastrous defeat! However, if the soul leaves the body and is struck by its arm, it will be instantly killed! Just now, that disciple's soul left the body and was struck by the异魔, causing his soul to scatter on the spot, and even the examiner from the碧空堂 could not save him in time! One can only seize the fleeting opportunity to allow the soul to rush into his sea of consciousness and sever his soul with the sword of the soul!"

Two flashes of blades, one coming from the front and the other from behind, slashed down towards Zhong Yue

Indeed, the speed of this otherworldly demon is exceedingly fast, and its strength far surpasses that of ordinary individuals. We cannot confront it with brute force; we must rely on our wits to outsmart it

On the stage, that young man was covered in wounds, yet he gritted his teeth and persevered

Zhong Yue was taken aback, incredulously saying: "You have only been cultivating for a year..."

It is easy to say, but difficult to accomplish

As the two blades of light struck down from the otherworldly demon, a soft sound of "puff" was heard, followed by a splatter of blood. A dark figure soared high into the air, crashing with a thunderous sound against the invisible barrier of the high platform, and then fell to the ground, motionless
