C332 First stage

"Wind Spirit Academy, I have come. This time, I will definitely enter Wind Spirit Academy." Someone in the crowd said in a low voice.

Everyone looked at this person in surprise, and some of them instantly recognized him.

"I know who he is. He is Qingyang City's Gongsun Zhi, he is the strongest warrior among the younger generation in Qingyang City. Although this is the strength of Middle Grandmaster Stage, he can definitely challenge those who are stronger than him, and is comparable to the practitioners of Late Grandmaster Stage." A warrior revealed Gongsun Zhi's origins.

Everyone looked at Gongsun Zhi. He could not be considered tall, but there was a hint of indifference on his handsome face.

Very quickly, everyone knew about Gongsun Zhi's background, and the way they looked at Gongsun Zhi was also a little different.

Brother, who is Gongsun Zhi? Ye Xingchen looked at the distant Gongsun Zhi, and asked a warrior beside him in a low voice.

The warrior looked at Ye Xingchen with a strange gaze and said softly, "You don't even know about Gongsun Zhi? Gongsun Zhi is the strongest in Qingyang City's young generation, his strength is comparable to Late Grandmaster Stage, if he could reach Late Grandmaster Stage, he would definitely be comparable to the experts of the Four Young Top Expert s. "

After Ye Xingchen heard this, he also looked at Gongsun Zhi curiously.

And it was at this time that the person in charge said loudly once again: "My name is Zhu Tianzhao, everyone can call me Deacon Zhu."

"Right now, I will explain to everyone about the three tests of Wind Spirit Academy. The first one, do you see the mountain behind our Wind Spirit Academy?" Zhu Tianzhao pointed to the tall mountain peak behind him, and said loudly.

Everyone followed Zhu Tianzhao's finger and looked over, only to discover that behind the Wind Spirit Academy, there was an incomparably huge mountain.

This mountain is the first test, and all the martial artists here will be able to reach the peak within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Of course, you can do anything you want to pass the first test, but once you've reached the peak, those that haven't reached it will be eliminated. Zhu Tianzhao said loudly.

Everyone nodded and looked at the mountain peak.

"Such a mountain? An incense stick's worth of time? Is this mountain very special? " Ye Xingchen also looked at the mountain peak in confusion, and said softly.

After that, with Zhu Tianzhao's guidance, everyone headed towards the foot of the mountain. In a short while, they had all reached the foot of the mountain.

Zhu Tianzhao glanced at the mountain peak, and then said in a loud voice: "This mountain peak is called Wind Spirit Mountain, and is the mountain peak for our Wind Spirit Academy examination disciples. Don't think that this is an ordinary mountain peak.

As soon as Zhu Tianzhao finished speaking, an incense stick was instantly lit by him and stabbed into the ground.

After the many warriors saw this, they all rushed to the mountain peak. Ye Xingchen was also among the crowd.

The speed of these martial artists was extremely fast. They all wanted to quickly reach the peak of the mountain and pass the assessment.

Just as Ye Xingchen was about to rush over, he suddenly saw the warriors who had just entered the foot of the mountain dropping their speed, as if they were resisting something.

"Hmm? Even their speed has decreased? " Ye Xingchen said in a low voice as he flew at high speed.

Soon after, Ye Xingchen also entered the mountain. When Ye Xingchen entered the mountain, he instantly felt the pressure from all directions, which was extremely huge, and directly pushed Ye Xingchen down from the sky.

"Damn it, why is there so much pressure? You can't fly at all. You can only walk. " Ye Xingchen cursed in a low voice as he operated the Spiritual Strength to resist the pressure of the mountain.

This pressure was simply too great, and just by feeling the pressure on Ye Xingchen's body, it could be imagined.

Ye Xingchen resisted the pressure while looking at the surrounding practitioners. After these practitioners entered the mountain peak, their speed had all decreased, and they were all resisting the pressure of the mountain peak with difficulty.

Outside the mountain, Zhu Tianzhao watched the entire scene and smiled: "Hmph, these little bastards, do you think that Wind Spirit Mountain is so easy to pass? "This Wind Spirit Mountain has at least a hundred times gravity force. If one's body is not strong enough, it would be impossible to reach the top of the mountain."

On the mountain peak, Ye Xingchen was in the midst of many practitioners. At this moment, the strength of a martial artist's body was also fully displayed.

In front of Ye Xingchen and the others, there were ten warriors. These ten warriors were very fast, although they were resisting the pressure, the pressure did not seem to have much effect on them.

This was the first tier, without a doubt, their strength.

As for Ye Xingchen, he was in the second tier. Actually, with Ye Xingchen's physical strength, it wasn't impossible for him to catch up to the ten people in front of him. It was just that Ye Xingchen did not want to be too exposed, as long as he could pass the test.

By the time Ye Xingchen and the rest reached the mountainside, the first group of ten had already reached their peak. By this time, two-thirds of the incense had burnt through, and only a third of the incense was left, everyone was rushing for time.

Many warriors revealed their trump cards, while Ye Xingchen also began to circulate some of his gold colored Spiritual Strength, causing his speed to suddenly increase.

But Ye Xingchen did not use his Golden Body of Grandmaster at full power, if not he would definitely attract attention with his three metres tall body, and Ye Xingchen did not want to be too exposed.

And at this time, the 10 martial artists at the peak coldly looked at the several thousand martial artists climbing up the mountain.

Not long after, a few other warriors had reached the summit, and Ye Xingchen was among them. When Ye Xingchen reached the summit, there was not much time left.

"What a strong pressure. However, after reaching the peak, the pressure is actually gone?" Ye Xingchen looked at his surroundings strangely and muttered to himself.

Time passed bit by bit. This trial was actually not that simple, nor was it difficult to pass. After all, as long as one's physical body was strong, they could easily pass this trial.

After the incense stick was burnt down, there were over a thousand martial artists that had yet to reach the summit. And these martial artists had already been eliminated.

"Alright, everyone can come down now. Those warriors who haven't reached the peak are eliminated." Zhu Tianzhao looked at the burnt incense and said loudly.

These warriors who had ascended the mountain instantly rushed down the mountain. What was strange was that when they went down the mountain, they didn't feel any pressure at all.

As for the eliminated practitioners, all of them had troubled expressions, extremely unwilling. However, there was nothing they could do, the rules of Wind Spirit Academy were like this.

"Those who have not passed the first assessment can go back. Over a thousand people have passed the first assessment and a thousand people have been eliminated." Zhu Tianzhao said loudly.

Afterwards, the more than one thousand practitioners who had failed the examination all left the Wind Spirit Academy one after another.

Seeing that there were only a little more than a thousand people left, Ye Xingchen could not help but sigh. It was only the first assessment and half of the warriors had already been eliminated.

"I believe everyone knows that the first stage is actually not that difficult. The main test is your physical strength, and as a martial artist, you must have a strong physical body. This is also the standard of our Wind Spirit Academy, and if you can't even enter the Wind Spirit Mountain, what qualifications do you have to enter our Wind Spirit Academy?" Zhu Tianzhao's face was filled with seriousness, as he said loudly.

At this moment, Ye Xingchen was observing the first group of ten people who ascended the Wind Spirit Mountain.

These ten people were all extremely powerful, and among them was Qingyang City's strongest youth, Gongsun Zhi. One of Gongsun Zhi was already so monstrous, and the other nine were not weaker than Gongsun Zhi in the slightest.

"Looks like this year, these ten will definitely be the best among the freshmen." Everyone sighed.

"The strength of these ten isn't bad." Ye Xingchen said softly.

"Ai, the strength of these ten people …" A warrior standing beside Ye Xingchen said in a low voice, his face filled with shock and faint bitterness. Originally, he thought that after undergoing bitter training, the overall progress in his strength would be obvious, and that he would definitely be able to rank high among the Grandmaster Stage.

But after seeing these ten people suffer such a huge blow, the realms of those ten people were actually Middle Grandmaster Stage as well. Compared to ordinary Middle Grandmaster Stage, however, it was unknown just how many times stronger they were.

"Brother, from what I see, your strength is also quite good. However, you are still far inferior to those ten people." The warrior beside Ye Xingchen said in a low voice.

Ye Xingchen didn't say a word as he glanced at the ten people standing at the very front.

"What is your name, brother?" This fat young warrior felt that Ye Xingchen's strength was not bad and wanted to befriend Ye Xingchen.

"Ye Xingchen." Ye Xingchen said in a low voice.

"My name is Luo Fei. I'm from Tianyun City." Fatty Luo Fei said while laughing.

Ye Xingchen nodded. He had a pretty good impression of this Fatty Luo Fei, and had a chat with him just now.

Their conversation was very quiet, and the attention of the other people beside them was completely focused on the ten people battling, so they didn't pay any attention to them.

"Wind Spirit Academy is indeed a crouching tiger and hidden dragon. Just the freshmen this time alone already have a few with pretty decent strength." Ye Xingchen looked at the ten people in front of him and muttered.

"Do you know these ten people?" Ye Xingchen suddenly asked Fatty Luo Fei.

Luo Fei obviously recognized these ten people, and introduced them to Ye Xingchen in a low voice.

"The one on the far left is Qingyang City's Gongsun Zhi. Although his realm is Middle Grandmaster Stage, his true strength is comparable to Top Grandmaster Stage's practitioners." Fatty Luo Fei introduced.

"Liu Wenzhan is also a martial artist comparable to Top Grandmaster Stage, his strength is close to Gongsun Zhi's."

"Su Leyi, Li Ningxue, Wang Yuexian, Xue Jing, Fu Zhiyong, Zhou Bi, Ren Hao, Duan Yingbo. These people are all the most powerful people among the younger generation in their city. Their strength is very high and they are all monstrous talents. I think that these ten people will be the strongest among the freshmen. " Fatty Luo Fei introduced in a low voice.

Ye Xingchen nodded his head, his eyes focused on the ten people, these ten were all extremely strong, even if it was Ye Xingchen who went against them, he would need to use his entire strength to defeat them.
