Without waiting for Ling Yan to think any further, that cold voice once again sounded out in the air above the Crimson Nimbus Martial School's plaza.

"The rookies who passed the first round will proceed with the second round's combat strength test! In three minutes, quickly gather at the square of the Crimson Nimbus Martial School. Don't even think about fishing in the muddy water if you failed the examination, you can try if you don't believe that you can catch a cripple, heh! "

As soon as these words were spoken, the young martial artists' expressions suddenly changed. They abruptly stopped moving their legs. The last word of the martial artist's laughter was extremely cold. It caused all of these young martial artists to feel a chill in their hearts, making them feel as if their thoughts had gone awry.

Now, after the first round of the exam had passed, the number of people had instantly reduced by more than half. When he arrived at the round plaza of the Crimson Nimbus Martial School, it was not crowded at all. There were over three thousand people standing here, and there were more than enough people.

What a terrifying elimination rate … Ling Yan smacked his lips. If it wasn't for his fortuitous encounter, even if he could endure through the first trial, passing the next exam would be extremely difficult.

"Sure, big brother, you really make the young master of the East look at you in a new light. You actually endured past six incense sticks' time by an extra minute!"

He put his arm around Ling Yan's shoulder and chuckled, "You didn't know, just now other people recognized you, and told me about how you beat up Wang Ba, but you didn't know Wang Ba's expression at that time, like he was constipated. Haha, and that Pan Xing, seeing that you came out later than him, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, tsk tsk."

After hearing Pan Xing's words, Ling Yan gave a slight smile. He had only just heard the whispers of the bystanders when he realized that he had held on to the end. As for Pan Xing's provocation, it had never crossed his mind.

In the circular plaza of the Crimson Nimbus Martial School, ten three meter tall, stone-like buildings had been built in front of them. The stele was a deep blue color and there was a white crystal on top of it; no one knew what it could be used for.

Under the instructions of the examiners, the three thousand rookies were divided into ten teams. In front of each team was a dark blue square stone tablet, and next to the square stone tablet was the Crimson Nimbus Martial School's deacon.

After a minute, the second stage of the exam will officially begin. Do you see the stone tablet in front of you, the newcomer who is going up for the exam doesn't need to worry about anything, as long as you use your most powerful fighting strength to attack this stone tablet, then as long as the light beam on the stone pillar exceeds the top, the white crystal will light up. As long as the white crystal lights up, it means that you have passed the first round of the exam.

"Everyone has three chances. But, let me remind you, you can save as much true essence as possible, because the third trial is actual combat. After the second trial is over, you won't have much time to recover your true essence!"

After the main examiner finished, he closed his eyes to rest. As for the young martial artists, they all held their breaths and rubbed their fists and palms, waiting for the exam to begin.

The atmosphere at the corner tea house of the Crimson Nimbus Martial Arts School was a little strange.

"It's over, it's really over! Six incense sticks per minute, not only did it break Ouyang Yao's record of five incense sticks per minute, it also broke the record of six incense sticks per minute for Jiang Bo!" "Hehe, the record of the Crimson Nimbus Martial School's first test in history was actually broken by a little kid with poor talent. How strange, how strange …"

The sledgehammer elder, who had been silent from the start, also spoke up at this moment. His face was covered with sideburns and his eyes were filled with astonishment.

"I wonder how that kid Jiang Bo will react after hearing this news. The record he just set was not even set for three years and he already broke it. Tsk tsk." The gunner said.

As soon as the spear elder finished speaking, the several elders turned their gazes towards the black bamboo hat arcane master, as if to see how he would react.

The arcane master's face was calm. He didn't look at the other elders, but turned his head and looked at Ling Yan's determined face from afar. He said faintly, "This youth is not bad."

The Arcane Arts Elder, Helian Yun, rarely evaluated anyone. After so many years, only Jiang Bo and Ouyang Yaojuan had received his praise. Now, these two had indeed grown up to be someone worthy of respect.

Now there was another Ling Yan. Didn't this mean that in the future, Ling Yan also had a chance of becoming one of the leading figures of the younger generation?

Only after reaching their level of cultivation did they understand how important it was to possess an extremely strong willpower when one crossed the bottleneck in their martial arts.

Immediately, the eyes of several elders in the tea house began to flicker.
