C491 A Test Aimed at Monsters

After looking at it for a long time, Ye Hongtian confirmed that it was just a normal selection test, although it was difficult, but it wasn't a strange test either.

"It seems that I was overthinking. This selection is quite simple, but it might be difficult for these people inside."

It had been exactly seven minutes since the beginning of the selection, but those people inside had already passed five tests. There was no chance to rest unless you could complete the test before others. Then you could rest for a while.

These tests weren't very difficult for a true disciple like Ye Hong Tian. In other words, he could control his true essence and use his own cultivation method to make some energy balls around him and then absorb them back into his body.

But there was a prerequisite; he had to condense 100 energy balls. Then, under the pressure of a tenth of the Sword Faction Master, he could steadily absorb those energy balls into his body.

To Ye Hong Tian, this wasn't too difficult, but for these core disciples, it was different. Most of these people's cultivations were below the third level of true essence. Only one or two of them were at the fourth level of true essence. This was... The test was too difficult.

Moreover, these were only the first two tests. A thousand people had already been eliminated from the first test. More than half of the people who wanted to absorb energy balls under the pressure of the Sword Sect's Sect Master had been eliminated. Some people had even injured themselves by not controlling the energy balls properly while absorbing them.

The following tests were harder than the last. Towards the end, it could be said that they were practically abnormal. Ye Hong Tian even felt that the Sword Sect's Sect Master did not want to choose anyone among them at all.

After another seven minutes of testing, everyone in the hall finally could not hold on any longer. Among the last few people that were eliminated, only a few of them were at the fourth level of true essence. They were eliminated together with the other true essence third level martial artists that were able to hold on until the end.

The reason why they were eliminated along with the third level of true essence wasn't because those few at the fourth level of true essence weren't strong enough, nor was it because the other true essence third levels had strength. It was because the final test was truly a bit difficult, so difficult that even Ye Hong Tian was not sure if he could pass it.

During the final test, the Sword Sect Master had someone give each of them a Blood Yang Pill. At that time, Ye Hong Tian had thought that the Blood Yang Pill was a reward to encourage those people to hold on until the end.

However, this was only because Ye Hongtian had thought too much. When the Grandmaster of the Sword Sect had finished explaining the final test rules, Ye Hongtian was completely stunned.

And the last test rule was: Hold on to the Sword Sect's Sect Master's martial skill. If you can't hold on during the test, you can use the Blood Yang Pill to forcefully raise your strength, and you can also give up.

When the Sword Listening Sect's Sect Master finished talking about the test rule, Ye Hong Tian almost couldn't help but curse, not to mention the feelings of those core disciples who held on till the end. Adding the previous tests, this was completely a test aimed at monsters.

Even though he wanted to complain to the Sect Master that the difficulty was too high, the other party was the Sword Sect Master. So what if the test was difficult? After all, that was the rules set by the Sect Master, and it was used to select disciples. If they couldn't choose, they could only say that they weren't qualified enough.

"I refuse to accept it!"

Right at this moment, a man in the hall who was lying on the ground after being struck by the Sword Sect Leader's martial technique struggled to stand up with both hands supporting himself on the ground. He panted heavily as he stared at the Sword Sect Leader.

"Lord Sect Master, the test rules you set are truly too demanding. Those who came to take the test were all martial artists at the third level of true essence. How could there be anyone who could withstand this test!?" The man's face revealed a slightly angry expression as he roared out.

Ye Hong Tian saw that someone had actually made a suggestion and immediately became interested in this. He checked this person's cultivation and found that this person was one of the several martial artists at the fourth level of true essence.

"This man is quite talented. Finally, one of the ten thousand people who has some strength and courage has appeared." Ye Hong Tian thought in his heart.

Just as Ye Hongtian was thinking this, the Sword Sect's Sect Master clapped his hands and walked in front of this man, his face full of smiles.

"It's not that no one can pass this test. As far as I know, there is someone who can pass this test under the True Essence Mirror." The Sword Sect's Sect Master said with a smile.

This man heard this and said with a face full of disbelief: "Impossible! How could someone in the Void Origin Stage be able to withstand a blow from the Sect Master? Sect Master, you must be joking."

He could not believe that someone in the Void Origin Stage could withstand a strike from a Half-Step Divine Origin Stage cultivator. Then he realized that his attitude was a little rude. He took a step back and cupped his fists at the leader of the Sword Sect.

Fortunately, the master of the Sword Sect did not care about the man's rudeness. With a wave of his hand, a projection appeared in the air. In the projection, a cultivator in the fifth level of the Void Origin Stage was fighting with a cultivator in the sixth level of the True Yuan Realm.

The Level Five Void Origin Stage cultivator on the projection was Ye Hongtian, who was standing outside the palace. The other person was Yu Jiuhe. This projection was the projection of their battle in the palace.

Looking at the projection, the Sword Master squinted his eyes and said, "As the leader of a sect, how can I joke? And that person is now in my Sword Sect. His name is... Ye Hongtian!"

At this time, Ye Hong Tian, who was leaning against the palace wall, was already stunned there. His attention was all shifted to the projection in the air above the palace.

"This! When did this happen? How could he possibly know about this?! " Ye Hong Tian couldn't help but exclaim.

The exclamation startled the two core disciples standing beside him. Then, Ye Hongtian reacted and made an apologetic gesture to the two of them before closing his eyes.

He really didn't expect that his fight with Yu Jiuhe in the palace would be captured by someone. This also meant that his palace wasn't an absolutely safe place.2

Thinking of this, Ye Hongtian couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end. He had refined the Ancient Phoenix blood essence in the palace before. If he was monitored, then wouldn't he be seen?

If an ordinary person were to see Ye Hongtian, they wouldn't have such a feeling. But, this fake Sword Faction Sovereign was an old monster that had lived for an unknown period of time. Perhaps he really knew about Ancient Phoenix blood essence.

"Looks like I have to hurry and think of a way to deal with him. It's best if I can do it before the four sides discuss the Dao!" Ye Hongtian thought.

Ye Hongtian continued to pay attention to the situation in the hall. He discovered that the few people who were lying on the ground earlier had all stood up. The injuries on their bodies were much better, as if they had consumed healing pills when Ye Hongtian was pondering over a problem.

"Since you are all at the end of your life, I can't just let you go back like this. I will give you some rewards. Follow me." The Sword Sect's Grandmaster looked at the few people in the hall and said.

When they saw the Grandmaster of the Sword Sect reward them, these people got excited. Then, they realized that the Grandmaster of the Sword Sect had already turned around and left, and they hurriedly followed after him.

Following the Grandmaster of the Sword Sect all the way to a secret chamber in the deepest part of the palace, everyone stopped. Looking at the Grandmaster of the Sword Sect, they made a hand gesture, and the door of the secret chamber suddenly opened.

After the door opened, Ye Hongtian once again noticed that the corners of the Sword Sect Master's mouth were raised upwards. After that, those core disciples entered the secret chamber together with the Sword Sect Master.
