771: C771 Third Stage Mental State

C771 Third Stage Mental State

These words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The old Daoist's expression changed and he immediately looked at the sword stone. Although the light from the sword stone had dimmed a lot, it still continued to climb.

The light from the scale continued to rise, but at a slow rate.

As time passed, the light continued to rise, as if nothing had happened.

This caused everyone's breathing to become serious. Some people even held their breath, afraid that they would miss a single detail.

When the light reached the end of the third scale, it finally stopped.

The fourth scale hadn't lit up yet, which caused the people who had been holding their breath to heave a sigh of relief.

As for Old Taoist and the others, their hearts were a bit empty. They thought they were going to witness the birth of a super genius who no longer had an old friend and no one else came later.

Sweat started to appear on Ah Ji's forehead. Just as he was about to turn around, the light on the third scale suddenly shifted upwards.

It was this thread that caused the fourth scale to suddenly light up.

This scene caused the hearts of the people who had just let out a sigh of relief to once again rise up.

"What?!" It actually made the fourth scale light up! "

"This person is so terrifying!"

"Who the hell is he?!" Why haven't I seen him before? "

All of a sudden, everyone pointed at Ah Ji and whispered to each other.

Such a genius caused everyone on scene to feel inferior. Even Yagyuu Tang and the others were completely covered by the dazzling light.

"Fourth scale!" Yagyuu Tang squinted his eyes and clenched his fists.

He admitted that he had made a mistake. Not only did this person light up the third scale, he even barely managed to light up the fourth scale. He began to wonder if he could withstand that sword strike.

The old Daoist man's pupils suddenly shrank. He clenched his fists and said, "Fourth scale! Good boy! This is beyond my expectations!"

As the fourth scale lit up, everyone was stunned.

The Ling Family siblings stared at Ah Ji's back blankly and did not say anything for a long time.

Who would have thought that a random person on the street would be able to create such a shocking result by joining a temporary team? This was simply shocking.

"Little brother, congratulations." The young daoist cleared his throat and looked at Old Taoist with a smile, then said, "I wonder if this little brother will be able to become the successor disciple of our Sword Hall?"

Hearing the young Taoist's words, Old Taoist burst out in laughter. He looked at Ah Ji and said, "To be able to break the Myriad Swords Array and open the fourth mark, you are qualified to become a legacy disciple."

"Unfortunately, this old man doesn't accept any more disciples." As he spoke, he cast his gaze towards the elegant Daoist man. This was his only disciple, and also his final disciple.

When the young Daoist heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes and couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "This old fellow couldn't have that thought again, right?"

When the others heard Old Taoist's words, they couldn't help but sigh. Even such an outstanding person couldn't enter Old Taoist's eyes?

"Hai." The Ling Family siblings also sighed.

If Ah Ji was accepted by Old Taoist as a disciple, then it would be very good news for their Ling Family, and also absolutely good news for the two of them.

After all, the gap between ordinary disciples and inner court disciples was already very big, not to mention the core disciples and the legacy disciples. If Ah Ji could become a legacy disciple, even if they were only normal disciples, with Ah Ji as their backer, he believed that they would still be able to make some name for themselves in the Sword Hall.

Although they now heard that Ah Ji could not be accepted by Old Taoist as a disciple, but to be able to become a core disciple was already very good.1

One must know that currently, among these people, not a single one had been accepted as a core disciple.

Even Yagyuu Tang was only an inner disciple.

"Everyone, don't be discouraged. There are still two trials." Seeing Old Taoist smile without saying anything, the young Daoist continued to announce and lead the group inside.

Passing Sword Hall's great hall and heading towards the left, there was a steep mountain peak.

This mountain peak was located at the side of the valley where Sword Hall resided, and it was very close by.

A series of stairs extended from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. It was so densely packed that one would feel a wave of dizziness just by looking at it.

"The third stage is to test your determination and perseverance." The young Daoist pointed at the mountain peak ahead and smiled, "Those who reach the peak within three hours are deemed qualified!"

"Let's begin!"

The moment he finished speaking, the faces of the people who passed the exam changed. The third test was actually climbing mountains?

"What's so difficult about climbing the mountain? I'm a warrior after all." Hearing that the third test was actually climbing mountains, Tang Fann suddenly smiled in disdain and walked towards the mountain, "I want to see what's so difficult about climbing a mountain."

From their point of view, although this mountain was steep, with their physical capabilities, let alone three hours, they could easily climb to the top in just two hours.

Tang Fann was the first to reach the foot of the mountain. He walked up the stairs with disdain. However, the moment his feet touched the ground, an invisible force crushed his spine.

Boom!" Under the pressure of the aura, Tang Fann suddenly felt his back moving.

His expression changed and his lips turned pale. He looked towards the top of the mountain. Thinking about having to reach the top in three hours, Tang Fann's expression suddenly became ugly. He immediately rushed up the mountain.

Step by step, it was as if he was filled with lead. Even if he used all his strength, he could not increase his speed. With this speed, it would be difficult for him to climb up the mountain within three hours.

"What's going on?" The others quickly noticed that something was wrong. They immediately looked at Tang Fann and sped up their pace.

Those who were on the mountain all felt that something was wrong.

As their imposing manner pressed down on everyone, the disdain on the group of people's faces was long gone.

They all rushed up the mountain with unsightly expressions on their faces. All of them were full of energy and were unwilling to fall behind. After all, there were only three hours left, and with this kind of pressure, who could guarantee that they would be able to climb up within three hours?

Ah Ji followed everyone's footsteps and climbed up the mountain. Feeling the pressure on his spine, he took a deep breath and rushed forward. He actually didn't feel much resistance.

However, as he went up the mountain, the momentum became heavier and heavier, and the resistance he suffered became stronger and stronger.

Everyone else was the same, and very quickly, someone was left far behind. Some of the weaker ones were even forced to lie down on the stairs panting, unable to move.
