"Alright." That voice rang out, and soon after, an unknown gravitational force wrapped around Fang Li and Zhao Zhu and left the great hall.
Hearing this sudden voice, the two disciples wrapped up in this year's potential left the area, no one could stop them.
"I hope those two know the difficulties and retreat. If there was still a life left, Zhao Zhu would enter the second mountain peak and the other would be under the tutelage of the eighth mountain. Now, you can disperse. The followers of the seven people will follow them to their own residences, and the elders of the various peaks will arrange for them. " The dean looked at the two people walking away and felt some pity in his heart. The trial of the seventh summit was not something that an ordinary person could pass. If one didn't know how to retreat in the face of difficulties, then it wasn't a small number of newcomers who had died in the seventh summit's trials.
"Yes, senior brother." The remaining seven people said one after the other.
If the seventh peak still continued to select disciples like this, then it was likely that after the death of Elder Yun, the seventh peak would be forgotten by the entire history.
The dean sighed emotionally.
Although the exam was very strict, it was not like today, where it was almost impossible to pass. Although there were few disciples, each academy had more than a dozen people, and in total, there were over a hundred. The fighting strength of these hundred people were indeed the core fighting strength of the academy. However, thousands of years had passed, and now, even if all the branches of the Martial Immortal School added up together, there were only two disciples in the seventh peak.
At that time, even though the Seventh Peak was like the present, with only three or five disciples under it, and their former glory was still remembered by many, many people. Several hundred years had passed, and many people had almost forgotten about the Seventh Peak.
The seventh summit was only like this because of the extreme. The disciples of the seventh summit had always been the backbone of the Martial Immortal Courtyard, and they were also geniuses with extraordinary talents.
The seventh summit would never allow their own disciples to be defeated by their peers in battle. However, a thousand years ago, in a battle, the strongest disciple of the seventh summit was defeated, defeated to the point of being speechless. From then on, when the seventh summit recruited disciples, it became even more extreme.
Perhaps the pride that was buried deep within the bones of the people in the seventh summit would not allow them to fail. Even if their disciples withered away, they would not accept disciples they were not satisfied with.
Sighing lightly, the dean stood up and left as well.
The speed of Fang Li and Zhao Zhu being carried away from the main hall became faster and faster, and in the end, in just a few breaths, their speed had not even reached the full speed of one of Zhao Zhu's strikes, making them appear very calm and collected. However, this was the first time Fang Li was floating in the air, and he could only faintly feel a wave of air current supporting him.
He had never experienced this feeling of flying before.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the two of them arrived at a mountain. They circled around the surroundings and could vaguely see other mountain peaks. Presumably, this was the reason why the Nine Peaks of the Martial Immortal Academy was famous.
After landing on the ground, Fang Li looked at the weedy and overgrown courtyard in front of him. The dilapidated gate to the seventh summit seemed to be on the verge of collapsing. An unfathomable emotion flashed in Fang Li's heart.
The seventh summit had clearly been desolate for too long.
A person suddenly appeared in the mountain gate. It was as if someone had been waiting for them for a long time, but also as if someone had suddenly appeared.
It was an old man. He was not like the other ruddy old men he had seen in the Martial Immortal Institute. He was no different from an ordinary old man. His long white hair was loose and scattered. His face was wrinkled and slightly hunched. His face was sallow. Even the robes he wore were not the same as the blue and white cicada robes worn by the Elders of the various peaks in the hall at that time. He was just like an ordinary old man, wearing coarse hemp clothes.
"You want to enter the seventh peak?" The old man's harsh words came without any expression or emotion.
"If the seventh summit respects the Dao of the spear, then this kid is willing to enter." He would not judge a person by his appearance. At that time, the old man had spoken to them and then wrapped them up to leave, but he had never cared about the people in the hall at that time, acting as they pleased. At that time, even the Headmaster who was seated in the main seat was not dissatisfied.
"Wherever he goes, I'll go." Zhao Zhu coldly said.
"There is only one disciple in my seventh summit who can obtain the inheritance of the spear. Although I have two disciples now, they have yet to meet the requirements for the inheritance of the spear. You do have a chance." The old man said indifferently when he heard Fang Li's words. The test to enter the Seventh Peak is different from the test to inherit my Seventh Peak's Spear Dao. If you want to learn my Seventh Peak's Spear Dao, you cannot give up during the test.
"Enter my seventh summit and be an honorary disciple like the other two disciples of this old man. If you learn other skills and don't study the way of the spear, then you will only need this old man's approval and you won't need to pass all of the trials. In the seventh summit, if we make a move, our lives will be in danger. For those who are afraid of death, this old man would advise us not to think too highly of ourselves. Have you made up your mind? "
It was rare for the old man to say so much at once. However, the stupefied look in his eyes made it seem as if he had not said so much in a very long time.
"I'm ready." Fang Li replied respectfully. Fang Li, who had inherited two lifetimes' worth of memories, had long understood the importance of strength. Moreover, if he wanted to become strong as if he had been reborn, he would have to go through a lot of hardships. Whatever that happened, it was only a feeling of helplessness. In the end, the pain of those around him leaving him one after another, and he also didn't want himself to be as powerless as he was now in this Profound Dragon Continent. He needed great power, and this kind of power needed to be obtained in a very short period of time because the Yuan Lu Kingdom could not afford to wait, nor could his own mother.
If he was unable to become strong on the Profound Dragon Continent, and was still as useless as he was in the previous world, then if he died, it would only mean that he could only be so weak. Instead of slowly experiencing the pain of helplessness, living would perhaps be even worse than dying.
"Zhao Zhu, if this test is life or death, you don't have to come with me to the Martial Immortal Courtyard. The Dark Soul has asked you to protect me, so we can complete this mission." After Fang Li finished speaking to the old man, he turned around and spoke again to Zhao Zhu.
"You know that I am a hitman. I grew up in mountains of corpses and seas of blood since I was young. I am already used to life and death situations. Originally, I entered the seventh summit because of you. But now, I, Zhao Zhu, want to go to the seventh summit's trial for my own sake. "A man with a dark soul is not fit to be a man with a dark soul if he has fear in his heart." Ever since he had come out from the Dark Soul Headquarters on a mission, he hadn't experienced the feeling of being on the edge of life and death at all times during his training. For Zhao Zhu, who had gradually gotten used to the environment of high pressure, he gradually became numb to the tasks which were not too dangerous.
