C335 Appreciation of wind

Soon, the remaining eight people had all finished their tests. The top ten were indeed the top ten, and the lowest was yellow talent.

Just like this, there were four people who had reached the Green Rank: Ye Xingchen, Su Leyi, Li Ningxue and Gongsun Zhi.

Ye Xingchen, this batch of dark horses, had appeared in front of everyone's eyes. In the first stage, they were not outstanding, but in the second stage, Ye Xingchen had surpassed many of the top ten freshmen, and was ranked fourth.

This was enough to attract many people's attention. High talent meant high achievements in the future.

A few of the other ten great freshmen, who had never surpassed Ye Xingchen in their talent, looked at Ye Xingchen with complicated expressions.

After the final person finished their test, the second test finally ended.

Zhu Tianzhao saw that there were only three hundred people left, and said loudly: "Mn, not bad, it's already not bad that there are still three hundred people left after the second trial. Hahaha, congratulations to you all, you have passed the second trial."

Everyone was waiting for the third trial's assessment. Although the first two trials were difficult, over 300 martial artists had endured. Those who could last until the third trial were all strong martial artists.

Zhu Tianzhao looked at the crowd, and then said loudly. "The third stage, is also an extremely dangerous stage that has dangers within. Of course, if you all wish to withdraw, it is still possible."

Everyone shook their heads. They had already come this far, how could they possibly withdraw out of fear?

Mm, then I'll talk about the third trial's exam. Actually, the third trial's exam is quite easy for some people, but for some people, it's not easy either. Zhu Tianzhao continued.

"Everyone, do you see the mountain next to the Wind Spirit Mountain? There is a cliff on the mountain peak, and that cliff is the third trial. You have to endure on the cliff for two hours, and only after two hours can you pass the third trial. " Zhu Tianzhao pointed to the mountain beside the Wind Spirit Mountain.

The mountain peak was not as tall as the Wind Spirit Mountain, but on one side of the mountain was a cliff. On the cliff, there were some random marks.

Everyone was puzzled. What exactly was the third trial? Why did it allow them to stand on top of the cliff for two hours?

"What's up there?" Ye Xingchen raised his head to look at the cliff and muttered to himself.

"Alright, let the challenge begin. Wait until all of you have ascended the cliff face, then start the timer. Of course, if there are those who can't hold on any longer, retreat from the cliff in time. Otherwise, your lives will be in danger." Zhu Tianzhao said loudly.

After that, the three hundred people rushed to the mountain peak together with Ye Xingchen.

"This time, I must get first place." Gongsun Zhi muttered from within the crowd, and quickly rushed towards the cliff.

If Gongsun Zhi could get first place in the third trial, then it would basically count as the top ten among the freshmen.

"The first place belongs to me." The other top ten warriors also shouted out loudly and walked towards the peak of the cliff.

Ye Xingchen also quickly reached the summit of the mountain. The moment he stepped onto the cliff, he was met with a bone-piercing, cold wind.

"This... "This wind?" Ye Xingchen was stunned for a moment, and then, he muttered to himself.

This wind was extremely similar to the wind above the Forest Sea Cliff, it was also so bone-piercing and cold.

Standing on the cliff, Ye Xingchen instantly thought of many things. Seems like the third stage was to resist these strong winds.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, Zhu Tianzhao looked at the three hundred plus people on the cliff and muttered to himself: "If anything unexpected happens, this time's top ten freshmen, should be those ten people. However, this Ye Xingchen can be considered a dark horse."

And on top of the cliff, the moment they entered the cliff, they felt the bone-piercing cold wind, and immediately activated their Spiritual Strength to block.

This gale was extremely powerful, constantly blowing in from outside the cliff.

At this moment, Ye Xingchen was bathing in the strong wind with a calm expression on his face. He closed his eyes slightly, and with fifteen percent of the Artistic Conception of Wind, Ye Xingchen did not need to resist any of the strong winds.

Although it was just a split-second, some of the martial artists were already unable to resist.

After a minute, several martial artists had already left the cliff face and given up on the assessment. As for the 10 strongest martial artists, they stood still on the cliff like a mountain.

"What is the wind?" Ye Xingchen muttered to himself.

The strong wind quickly blew past the cliff, Ye Xingchen felt that his comprehension of the Artistic Conception of Wind became even deeper.

"So this is the third stage of the examination. There must be a connection between the Wind Spirit Academy and the Artistic Conception of Wind." At this moment, Ye Xingchen was even more certain that his guess was correct.

"Artistic Conception of Wind." With a thought from Ye Xingchen, fifteen percent of the Artistic Conception of Wind erupted in a flash, and enveloped his entire body.

At first, Ye Xingchen thought that it would be difficult to pass the third stage, but he never expected it to be so easy.

Only Ye Xingchen would dare to say it was easy, the other warriors did not dare to say it.

The strong wind from the cliff seemed to be able to penetrate the defense and enter the warrior's body. If one was not careful, they would be injured.

Time slowly passed. There were already some martial artists that couldn't persist any longer.

After only one hour, more than one hundred warriors had already left the cliff, leaving more than two hundred warriors behind.

Amongst the top ten warriors, Li Ningxue's expression was the most relaxed, the others were also resisting the gale.

Traces of cold wind blew past, blowing on the cliff and leaving traces behind.

At the foot of the mountain, Zhu Tianzhao observed the remaining 200 odd warriors, of which he was mainly paying attention to the ten strongest warriors.

"Not bad, these 10 martial artists have a very good perception of the wind. It's easy to last until now." Zhu Tianzhao said in a low voice: "Only by persisting on the cliff for two hours will there be a sliver of hope to comprehend the Artistic Conception of Wind."

Of course, this was only a sliver of hope. Thus, the longer they stayed on the cliff, the greater their chances of comprehending the Concept of Wind.

Zhu Tianzhao's face held a trace of a smile. It had already been almost two hours, and many martial artists had already been eliminated, leaving only a hundred and thirty martial artists behind. And the ten martial artists inside, were extremely dazzling.

"I wonder how is Ye Xingchen doing?" Zhu Tianzhao suddenly thought of the second stage's dark horse, Ye Xingchen, and turned to look at him.

But the moment he turned his head, he was thoroughly shocked.

The Artistic Conception of Wind, Ye Xingchen's entire body was actually wrapped in the Artistic Conception of Wind, a practitioner of Early Grandmaster Stage actually comprehended the Artistic Conception of Wind, how terrifying was this?

"Artistic Conception of Wind, and it's a fifteen percent Artistic Conception of Wind." Zhu Tianzhao had worked in the Wind Spirit Academy for so many years, yet he wasn't as excited as he was now.

Amongst this batch of warriors, there was actually one who had comprehended the Artistic Conception of Wind. This was definitely a very shocking thing.

The current Ye Xingchen didn't know at all that he had been targeted by Zhu Tianzhao.

"As expected, he's well-hidden. He actually managed to comprehend the Artistic Conception of Wind, and even reached fifteen percent. This kind of martial artist, after entering the academy, will definitely be able to enter the Inner Court in less than a year." Zhu Tianzhao muttered to himself. Thinking about those monsters within the Inner Court, Zhu Tianzhao was unable to calm down.

Although it was very easy for the top ten warriors to resist the strong wind, they still did not manage to comprehend the Artistic Conception of Wind.

Very quickly, two hours had passed. There were only a hundred and twenty practitioners left, and Zhu Tianzhao nodded in satisfaction. There were twenty more than he had expected.

These one hundred and twenty warriors had already passed the third stage, and were qualified to become Wind Spirit Academy's students.

Time ticked by, and another two hours had passed. There were only ten martial artists left on the cliff. These ten were recognized as the top ten of the freshmen.

After reaching two hours, Ye Xingchen restrained his Artistic Conception of Wind and backed out of the cliff. He felt that as long as he could pass through, there was no need to hold on for too long.

Moreover, he had already comprehended the Artistic Conception of Wind, so the gale on the cliff wall was no longer effective for him, unlike the top ten new students, who had yet to comprehend the Artistic Conception of Wind. This gale was extremely important for their tempering.

"Only 10 people remain. These 10 people are indeed the candidates for this year's top 10."

"Not bad, but I think that Gongsun Zhi should be the undisputed number one."

"That's not necessarily true. Let's wait and see."

The eliminated warriors had all left, leaving behind only more than a hundred who had passed. These warriors stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the ten people on the cliff, guessing how long they could last.

Meanwhile, Zhu Tianzhao's gaze shifted back from the cliff and turned to look at Ye Xingchen, who was chatting with Fatty Luo Fei in the distance.

When Zhu Tianzhao looked at Ye Xingchen, Ye Xingchen had also noticed it. He raised his head to look at Zhu Tianzhao, and then continued to chat with Fatty Luo Fei.

After another two hours, Liu Wenzhan, Ren Hao, Fu Zhiyong, Wang Lexian and Xue Jing had all left the cliff. They had already endured for six hours, and it was not easy at all.

Looking at the remaining five people on the cliff, for a time, these five people became the focus of everyone's discussion.

"Guess who will last until the end?"

"It must be Gongsun Zhi, Gongsun Zhi's strength is extremely terrifying, resisting this wind is easy."

"Hmph, Gongsun Zhi can't win against Li Ningxue, watch, it must be Li Ningxue who perseveres to the very end."

"Sigh, it has nothing to do with us either. They are geniuses, the top ten of the freshmen. The difference between us and them is too big."

There was nothing they could do about it. The top ten freshmen had already been determined, and even the dark horse Ye Xingchen who was in the second stage had only been able to last two hours and was not outstanding at all.
