Chapter 750 The Test.

?After Old City Lord finished speaking, four people appeared in the void. Old Man Pie said, "These are my fellow invigilators. The martial council has sent them over to test you. Now you have ten seconds to prepare yourself. I advise that if any of you feel that you cannot go on. Please accept defeat. You can gain glory and fame only when you are alive."

The crowd fell silent, and the tension in the environment reached its peak. Old Man Pie said, "Begin."

The next moment, the spiritual pressure of an Immortal Emperor descended on the shoulders of all the Immortal Lords standing in the square. Yun Xue noticed the people shivering a little. However, they did not seem to be very strained. After one minute, some people had sweat dripping from their foreheads, but their faces looked calm.

But just then, another Immortal Emperor emitted strong pressure and overlapped with another invigilator. A few people were unprepared and fell to their knees. An Immortal Lord was standing next to Yun Xue. This was strong, and he could handle the pressure on its shoulders.

Yun Xue asked, "Are you okay?"

The young man nodded and said, "Forging tempers our body. We can still handle pressure, even if not in the Immortal King realm. I can deal with four layers, but the fifth will be hard."

Yun Xue nodded. She understood that the layers meant the pressure overlaying on his shoulders. She looked at the crowd and found that two young men were watching everything coldly. She frowned for some reason and took back her gaze. Shi Lang had taught her that one should not gaze over people for a prolonged time. In the immortal realm, cultivators had a stronger perception.

Yang Tie had told her that these two people were the young masters of the Zhu Family, and they had reassumed the command of their family from the person who stood up against Zhu Lingxue. That person now served as the manager for the two brothers. The assessment continued, and out of the supposed five thousand Immortal Lords in the square, only two thousand stood with difficulty.

The pressure of the fifth Immortal Emperor had yet to descend upon them. Yun Xue looked at the guy next to her, and she said, "Do your best."

The Immortal Lord nodded with difficulty. The pressure from the fifth guy had just descended. Yun Xue sighed and said, "This guy is gonna miss the assessment."

She was talking about Shi Lang. Hearing her, the person beside her said, "Brother Yao said Young Master has come out of his forging and is heading over, so do not worry. I am only concerned about the test we have to face."

Yun Xue nodded and said, "Yes, I do not understand why these people are gatekeeping all this information. I tried asking, but everyone said you should participate to find out."

The other person replied, "Lady Yun, they are not hiding anything, but the fact is that these tests are not the same. People who did not participate do not have much information either."

Yao Jiming sighed and said, "Young Master, you are too adventurous. It is not good for my heart."

Shi Lang smiled and looked around at the people approaching the pillar. Many people attacked the pillar one by one. Shi Lang could tell they were trying their best, but they could not leave a mark on it. He used his sensory ability, smiled, and asked, "Do you all want to know what this test is about?"

Yun Xue asked, "Explosive force?"

Shi Lang shook his mind and said, "It is about wisdom. If you know the properties of the Vajra Iron, you will ace this test. It does not mean you will come out on top, but at the least, passing will not be a problem. After all, the five Immortal Emperors are not kidding."

Yun Xue asked, "Tell me the properties of Vajra Iron."

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "I will not cheat. Your only option is to wait it out and learn the trick from someone who will pass the exam."

Yun Xue pouted and glared at Shi Lang. However, she could not refuse what he said. It would be a waste of time to convince him to help her. Shi Lang was a person who believed that one's effort must gain everything.

Suddenly, Yao Jiming said, "Young Master, the Zhu Family is making a move."

Shi Lang looked at the side and found two armored young men walking up to the pillar. The first guy was tall and had long hair; he wore crimson armor and had a spear tied to his back. Shi Lang said, "They will pass."

Yun Xue asked, "Why are you so sure?"

Shi Lang replied, "Intuition. Just watch carefully. They will give out the hint you need."

The first young man stood before the Pillar and punched out. The impact of the punch not only produced a loud sound but even made the pillar shiver. Yun Xue focused her gaze on the pillar and was surprised because there was an inch-deep indent. After hundreds of people, this guy from the Zhu Family was the first to advance.

She could not help but look at this guy and then at Shi Lang. The Terran asked, "What happened?"

Yun Xue asked, "What hint were you talking about? He did not even use his spiritual energy to hit the pillar."

Shi Lang smiled and gazed back at the girl, saying, "Sometimes the solution we need is right in front of us, yet we are unable to see it."
