C104 Extermination
Gu Yuan's eyes lit up, he knew that the green corpse must be the one the old man possessed, so he hurriedly activated the Invitation to Wine, and the Fangtian Halberd immediately struck the green corpse.
This strike had severely injured the green corpse, and because of the dizziness effect, the old man's soul did not immediately leave the green corpse.
Divine Might of Great Sage!
The Fangtian Halberd attacked again, this time it had even triggered a violent attack, directly chopping the green corpse into half with more than five times the attack.
A wailing sound was heard, and a mass of black smoke flew out from the green corpse, attempting to escape.
How could Gu Yuan agree? He waved his Fangtian Halberd again and directly dispersed the black smoke, leaving only the old man screaming in pain.
After the old man was killed, Gu Yuan finally heard a voice he hadn't heard for a long time.
"Congratulations, your strength has increased!"
Gu Yuan opened the panel.
"Host: Gu Yuan
Cultivation: Peak of Innate Stage
Skills: Taotie Lineage level 2, Fangtian Cleaving level 10, Invitation to Wine level 10, Ode to Gallantry level 1, Divine Might of Great Sage level 4, Spell level 10.

"Experience: 6,951/800,000"
He had finally reached Peak of Innate Stage, and was one step closer to reaching the Grandmaster Realm.
After levelling up again, the experience required had doubled again. There were 800 thousand experience points, which made Gu Yuan smile bitterly.
With the extermination of the old man, all the green corpses fell onto the ground like puppets out of control. Zhang Jie and the rest were also tired, lying on the ground and breathing heavily like dead dogs.
Gu Yuan also fought very hard in this battle. If it wasn't for Zhang Jie suddenly throwing out the Buddha statue and finding the old man's soul, even he would have died here.
After all, facing hundreds of Cyan Corpses who had reached Late Period of Innate Stage and were not afraid of death or pain, even Gu Yuan did not have the confidence to deal with them.
"Whew ~ Whew ~ Whew ~ ~ Are we considered to have passed the exam?" "Whew ~ Whew ~ ~"
Wang Jian asked while breathing heavily.
Gu Yuan thought about it and said, "I guess so."
As the two of them conversed, sure enough, their vision once again blurred. A feeling of weightlessness came from below their feet, and in the blink of an eye, they appeared in the place where Mighty Sky Sect had left from.
Gu Yuan looked around and found that they were not the first to come back. Previously, when they were climbing the stone steps, the people from the first group had all come over. Now, they were all sitting cross-legged with some injuries on some of them.
Seeing that so many people had already passed the exam, Zhang Jie and the others knew that they were the ones who dragged Gu Yuan down, and a trace of guilt flashed across their faces.
Gu Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly. "Don't worry about these things. We can pass it smoothly."
Although Zhang Jie and the rest knew that Gu Yuan really didn't care, they still felt uncomfortable inside.
At this moment, Qin Xiaoyue walked over. When she saw the embarrassed expressions on their faces, she had a worried expression on her face.
"Are you hurt? "Is it serious?" As he spoke, he took out many healing medicines from his storage ring and handed them over to the others.1
However, Wang Jian chuckled and said: "With Brother Gu around, we didn't sustain any injuries, but we were tired enough."
Carefully examining them, Qin Xiaoyue realized that apart from some superficial wounds, there really weren't any serious injuries. She let out a sigh of relief and said, "Although I don't know what happened to all of you, I can tell from your appearances that you're in great danger. It's a good thing that none of you have been harmed."
Gu Yuan heard something from Qin Xiaoyue's words and took the initiative to ask, "There were casualties in this exam?"
Qin Xiaoyue nodded her head and said: "Not long after you all disappeared, there were disciples who were injured because they were unable to resist the enemies in the trial. Although there were experts from the Mighty Sky Sect who came to save them, they were still unable to make it in time to be killed."
The expressions of Gu Yuan and the rest changed. They never thought that the exam would be so harsh.
Qin Xiaoyue continued, "According to Mighty Sky Sect Master, in the past, there were always deaths and injuries. The goal of the exam was to train the combat abilities of the disciples from various sects. Deaths and injuries were inevitable, and no one would interfere too much."
Gu Yuan understood now. In other words, if they were to face danger during the previous trial, Mighty Sky Sect would not immediately come to their rescue. If they could not even hold on for that little bit of time, it would be worth it if they died.
"How cruel." Gu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
As time passed, when the last disciple came out of the smelting trial, it was already five days later. During this period of time, many disciples failed, some were injured, and some couldn't come back.
Many disciples had grieving expressions on their faces, it was obvious that they were grieving over the fact that their comrades were injured or had died.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Jie and the others became more grateful to Gu Yuan. Thinking back to the danger they encountered in the exam, if Gu Yuan was not here, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After the group training, the total number of participants dropped to about 100. There were those who had been severely injured, those who had been dead, and even those who had been scared to death, immediately leaving.
The remaining one hundred or so people were arranged by Mighty Sky Sect to rest in the disciple's room, so they no longer needed to stay in the mountainside with their tents.
Although Mighty Sky Sect's disciple's room wasn't considered luxurious, it was still extremely comfortable. There was a small room available, and in short, it was much better than the tent from before.
After a few days of rest, all of the remaining participants finally recovered. That morning, the person in charge of notifying the participants once again appeared in the air above the resting area of the participants, and informed them in a deep voice: "An hour later, the competition will begin during the martial stage competition. Everyone should gather at the Mighty Sky Peak Battlestage."
With the announcement, Gu Yuan and the others set off again.
Arriving at the fighting stage, Gu Yuan realized that the Mighty Sky Sect was indeed worthy of the name of a great sect. A large field, with many fighting stages standing there, it was almost bigger than the Zhongzhou Prefecture Center Tower.
He finally understood how insignificant the Gu Family from the Qiuyun City was before.
"As expected, you still have to walk out to gain more knowledge. After seeing the Mighty Sky Sect, I suddenly realized that the Tower Lord doesn't seem to be much." Wang Jian sighed on the side.
However, it was obvious that Qin Xiaoyue did not want to hear it. With a cold expression, she asked, "Do you believe that I'll go back and tell this to uncle?"
Wang Jian's expression froze as he smiled in embarrassment, "Please spare my life, young master."
At this moment, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared on one of the battling arenas. His expression was solemn, and his eyes swept across the crowd below like a hawk, "For the next five days, for the individual competition segment, draw lots in the order in which the same numbers will be used. The second day will be the same, until the final place is formed."
When the time for the competition finally arrived, Gu Yuan's heart was burning with excitement. Even Zhang Jie and the rest were showing excitement on their faces.
