Chapter 168: Enemies meet at Narrow Path

Tring!

The song that was playing grew more intense. This time, Lin Xiao focused all of his attention to his ear and made sure that he could remain standing. He felt that his mind was continuously attacked at this period of time.

Gritting his teeth, Lin Xiao remained standing. He had already experienced pain even worse that this attack. At that time, his entire body was completely destroyed due to the restructuring that was done inside his body.

This was nothing. 

'Stand up. If you fall just because of such petty attack, you're only going to disgrace yourself.'

After saying several sentences to himself, Lin Xiao just kept on standing. He didn't have the time to see what Lin Yun and Wenren Yu were doing, so he could only hope that they were fine.

Thankfully, the two of them were still standing. The result of their training with Sui Wenyan would slowly showed the effect because they were able to withstand the soundwave attack.

Su Lin looked at the stubborn youngsters in front of her and chuckled. In her eyes, they were all no different than ants. Even if they were calling themselves as geniuses, they were not a true genius as long as they hadn't grown up yet.

Of course, she had no intention to destroy them either.

She just didn't fancy these people.

Swish!

Making her last attack, the power of the soundwave jolted several people and they fell on their knees. The expression of the people who had failed changed as they felt that they were really bad.

Su Lin stopped and stretched her body. "6,783 people are left. Those who had fallen to the ground, please leave."

Her voice was pleasing to the ear, yet the content was anything but that. Those who failed, gritted their teeth and walked to the entrance under the gaze of the two guards. Many of those who had reached the age of 20 knew that this would be their final chance and there was no hope for them to enter Sun Dragon Academy.

"Yun, Yu?" Lin Xiao turned around.

Lin Yun arched his eyebrows. His face was covered in sweat, but he was still standing as before. "Don't worry, I pass."

"That's good."

"I pass too." Wenren Yu smiled. He might not be that strong, but it didn't mean that he was weak to the point that he was unable to withstand that kind of attack. Besides, Su Lin didn't go all out and didn't make things difficult for them more than what majority of people here could withstand.

"Good."

Lin Xiao had noticed that Sui Wenyan was fine. For that girl, this kind of test was nothing since her own weapon was also a zither. 

Sweeping his gaze across the field, Lin Xiao noticed that many of those who were weaker in cultivation had all walked to the gate. Those at Body Training Rank 7 or below were all eliminated. They simply didn't have enough strength to defend themselves at this rank.

There were even several Body Training Rank 8 who had failed and those weaker of Body Training Rank 9 could only hung their head low as they walked out. No matter how embarrassed they were, they could only accept the reality that they had failed the second test without any chance to recover.

"So many people are eliminated."

After some time had passed, no one else was moving. Su Lin looked at the crowd lazily. "There are still some people who had failed but still here. If you don't move when I count to three, we'll kick you out and you won't be able to participate next year."

The expression of some youngsters changed and they swiftly moved their way to the exit. Some of them were still young and could participate again next time. If they stayed here, they would just be disgraced.

However, not all of them left and Su Lin lazily counted.

"One."

Her voice sounded very casual, yet the hint of threat couldn't be ignored. It seemed that this woman was also very powerful even though she didn't look like one. 

As people usually said, appearance can be deceiving.

"Two."

People looked around but those who had passed didn't look that worried. They were simply wondering who would be shameless enough to hide in the crowd when they had certainly failed.

"Three."

Swish! Bang! Bang!

Several people were thrown outside with just a flick of the woman's arm. Su Lin's expression was impassive while the two guards kicked those who had failed out of the place. There was no place for them in Sun Dragon Academy anymore.

"Alright, we'll continue with the next test. Come over to that gate and walk pass it. The other teachers will be waiting for you," Su Lin said with a smile then turned around elegantly.

Lin Xiao looked at the gate and furrowed his brows. It was quite far from them, but from the way Su Lin spoke out, he felt that the gate was not ordinary. After all, it was also their next test, no?

Bang!

When someone tried to step in, his body was crushed with power and he fall to the ground, unable to move. A guard appeared before him and pulled him out. His voice sounded monotone as he informed, "You have failed. Please leave the area."

"What? This is the test?"

"Yes."

The other participants were looking at the normal gate and gulped their saliva. The teachers who designed this method didn't seem to be very kind to them. They were making the test even more difficult.

What kind of pressure was that?

Should they use their Qi, defense skill, or just use their body strength?

While they were pondering what they should do, Lin Xiao noticed several people were walking not far from him towards the gate. The two fair ladies could easily attract one's attention because of their beautiful figure. But not for Lin Xiao. His eyes narrowed. "Xu Qin, Bai Xin."
