The mountain behind the Violet Bamboo Manor was a mountain range that was covered by a hazy morning mist. Tall and tall trees lined the mountain range, casting a shadow under the morning sun.
In the mountain range, the roars of demon beasts could be heard endlessly.
If the timid ones came here, perhaps they would be scared and not dare to go forward even before entering the mountain range.
At the mountain range's entrance, a dozen or so figures were quietly standing on top of a short hill. They did not make the slightest sound and were completely silent. Only the sound of leaves being blown about by the cold wind could be heard.
At the front of the crowd, Ling Yun, Ling'er and Qin Feng stood tall and straight as they looked at the eighty-one people in front of them. Qin Feng could not bear to see them, but he knew that he was powerless to change Ling Yun's will.
These dozens of silhouettes were Lingyun, Lin Xie, and the rest from the Violet Bamboo Manor.
Today was precisely the day of their first assessment.
Early in the morning, when the sky was still shrouded in mist, Lingyun brought them to this place. He did not talk about the purpose of this place and just stood there quietly.
On the other hand, the roar of the demon beasts within the mountain range scared some of them and caused their bodies to lightly tremble. Their faces were slightly pale and their eyes revealed fear.
Even so, Ling Yun did not make a sound, and no one asked any questions. All of the youngsters stood straight, and suppressed the fear in their hearts.
Only a few of them could vaguely guess Ling Yun's goal. Although there was still some lingering fear in their eyes, they were more determined.
He had the ambition of millions of people!
Ling'er crossed her arms in front of her chest as she looked at the eighty-one youths with interest. Then, her beautiful eyes slightly glanced at Ling Yun as her red lips slightly curled upwards.
This fellow's charisma isn't bad. He actually had so many young men and women who were willing to follow him. Even if they knew that he might face death, they would not hesitate to follow him!
Their talents are not bad, and as long as they improve, their achievements in the future will be extraordinary. With them protecting Ling Yun, he should be safe and sound!
She didn't have to worry about leaving.
The bright red sun finally rose from the horizon, sprinkling down thousands of rays of scorching light.
Ling Yun, who had his eyes closed, also opened them. He glanced at Lin Xie and the rest, and then looked towards the mountain range that was filled with the roars of beasts, his eyes flickering.
"Meow."
A small, snow-white kitten stuck its head out from his chest with two small horns. The blank look in its eyes stayed for a few breaths before it slowly disappeared.
The black and white eyes were clearly lit up as they looked at the continuous mountain range. A bloody light flashed across their eyes as they opened their mouths and licked their lips.
It was as if the mountain range in front of them was not the forbidden ground of death that martial practitioners feared, but rather the source of their food.
As his gaze returned to Lin Xie and the rest, Ling Yun's face turned cold and his brows furrowed with killing intent. His clear voice resounded in everyone's ears.
"Today is the fifteenth day of my training, and also the first time that I've conducted this half a month of training exams on all of you."
Lin Xie and the rest looked solemn, as they quietly listened to Ling Yun, their eyes filled with fanaticism.
That's right, it had only been half a month, a very short period of time. To those old monsters that had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years, it was nothing more than a flick of a finger.
But it was this short half a month that had caused their lives to change, a tremendous change that could turn the heavens upside down had happened to them.
His heart became even more respectful to Ling Yun, and became even more determined. If it was before, his heart was still filled with gratitude, then now, it was true reverence and admiration.
