Chapter 157: Chapter 136 Capturing the Flying Beast

```

Fairy Jia Luo's words sent a shock through the hearts of the young candidates participating in the competition for true discipleship.

It truly was a combat assessment! Indeed, it was a life-and-death assessment!

This third round of assessment involved climbing the ninety-nine suspended peaks of the "Sky Extreme Cliff," and it even relied on scaling the "Sky-Scaling Vines" that hung from the mountains.

Just by looking at the screen, the candidates could see the giant vines swinging violently in the wind, let alone using these vines to continuously climb towards other Floating Peaks.

Even between the two closest Floating Peaks, there was a distance of more than ten meters, and one had to jump to get from one "Sky-Scaling Vine" to another. This was leaping in the air thousands of feet high— a careless move could mean missing the vine and falling down!

According to Fairy Jia Luo, if anyone fell, no one would save them. These participants truly faced the risk of losing their lives during the assessment!

This made many of the candidates begin to feel afraid.

They had heard that the final real combat assessment for the selection of true disciples was dangerous, but they did not expect it to be so perilous!

And the following words from Fairy Jia Luo caused these people's faces to change dramatically once again.

Fairy Jia Luo continued, "Climbing the 'Sky-Scaling Vines' to reach the Floating Peaks is only the third round of assessment, and this is still relatively simple. The fourth round of assessment is the most difficult and the most dangerous combat challenge."

"These ninety-nine Floating Peaks are gathering places for Flying Beasts. The fourth round of assessment is to capture the Flying Beasts on these Floating Peaks!"

"To capture the Flying Beasts, subdue them, and then ride these Flying Beasts as they fly down to a specified final area— that counts as successfully passing the fourth round of assessment!"

"The scores for the fourth round will also be decided based on the rank of the Flying Beasts you'll have captured!"

Hum!

The words of Fairy Jia Luo made everyone look towards the gigantic screen, where they could all see Flying Beasts constantly soaring among the ninety-nine Floating Peaks.

The following fourth round of assessment would actually be to capture these Flying Beasts?

From the sheer size of these Flying Beasts— some tens of meters long— it was evident that the beasts flying below were level seven, eight, ten, and eleven creatures, and the beasts flying at the very top of the Floating Peaks were even comparable to the Great Demons at the Spirit Sea Realm!

Equivalent to the Spirit Sea Realm Great Demons!

To capture them was out of the question— not being killed by these Great Demons was fortunate enough!

And riding these Flying Beasts down was also extremely dangerous. If the Beasts went berserk and flung them from high up in the air, they could truly lose their lives!

This fourth round of assessment was indeed more difficult and more dangerous than the third!

At this moment, at the top of the mountain gate plaza, those Spirit Sea Realm disciples of Taixuan Sect standing behind the Rotating Pill Realm masters shook their heads when they heard Fairy Jia Luo's explanation of the third and fourth rounds of assessment.

```

"Climbing Sky Extreme Peak and capturing flying beasts, such an assessment is indeed too dangerous for these disciples in the True Qi Realm!"

"Not just them, even we, who possess the Flight Divine Ability, could get injured or even killed by a Great Demon when entering the Sky Extreme Peak. You must know that there are high-order Great Demons inside equivalent to the later stages of the Spirit Sea Realm!"

"They can only capture flying beasts at those Floating Peaks below, aiming for beasts of the seventh, eighth, or even tenth and eleventh order. They absolutely must not recklessly enter the upper regions of the Floating Peaks dominated by Great Demons!"

Fairy Jia Luo glanced at the crowd, buzzing with discussion, then turned her gaze toward the young ones in the assessment area.

"The third and fourth round assessments taking place in the ninety-nine Floating Peaks of 'Sky Extreme Cliff' will have the following methods for obtaining Assessment Scores."

"The ninety-nine Floating Peaks of 'Sky Extreme Cliff' are ranked from low to high, starting from The First Floating Peak, The Second Floating Peak, all the way to The Ninety-Ninth Floating Peak!"

Yu Luoxuan's words startled many youths nearby.

The next two rounds of the assessment were extremely dangerous, yet Yu Luoxuan fearlessly challenged Ye Chen, even aiming to capture a Great Demon?!

A Great Demon was on par with a Spirit Sea Realm powerhouse. Was she truly confident she could capture one?

The youths all turned their attention to Yu Luoxuan, only to see her gaze completely fixed on Ye Chen, awaiting his response.

Ye Chen looked at the pretty girl and smiled faintly, "Compete in capturing a Great Demon? Why not!"

"I, too, was planning to capture a Great Demon to see what it feels like to soar through the skies on one!"

Hum!

Ye Chen's response made Yu Luoxuan's eyes shine and caused a great shock in the hearts of the other youths.

In the life-threatening real battle test, these two youths, who had performed extraordinarily well in the first two rounds, were going to compete again.

Even deciding to see who could capture a Great Demon!

While all the assessment candidates set their own targets for the next two rounds, and as Ye Chen and Yu Luoxuan determined to really duke it out in the last two rounds, Fairy Jia Luo finally announced.

"Now, all candidates, follow me to 'Sky Extreme Cliff' to participate in the final two rounds of the assessment!"

Simultaneously, Fairy Jia Luo's gaze also turned to Jiang Yao, then to those at the high seats in the sect entrance square—the Rotating Pill Realm powerhouses and Spirit Sea Realm disciples.

"Those guests who accepted our invitation to watch the true disciple selection event, as well as our sect's Spirit Sea Realm disciples, may also head to 'Sky Extreme Cliff'!"

Then, Fairy Jia Luo's gaze swept over the True Qi Realm disciples and disciples from other sects in the sect entrance square, "Everyone else shall stay here at the sect entrance square to watch the assessment. The scenes will be fully displayed on this screen!"

Whoosh!

As Fairy Jia Luo finished speaking, the giant screen displaying Sky Extreme Cliff in the space above the sect entrance square expanded several times over. Now, the entire situation of Sky Extreme Cliff could be seen clearly from the square.

This was a method only possible through the laws of space; Fairy Jia Luo had used grand divine abilities to move the spatial scene of Sky Extreme Cliff above the sect entrance square, allowing everyone to watch.

Once everything was ready, with a wave of Fairy Jia Luo's fair palm, a palm-sized flying boat emerged from her sleeve. In an instant, the flying boat rapidly expanded and enlarged, ultimately turning into a hundreds-of-meters-long giant flying boat hovering in the air.

"All candidates for the true disciple selection test, board the flying boat!"

"Depart for 'Sky Extreme Cliff'!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One figure after another activated their movement techniques, flying towards the flying boat. Ye Chen nodded to Jiang Yao before he too soared into the flying boat.

Then, the flying boat abruptly ascended, streaking through the void, heading towards the mountains within the Taixuan Sect.

"Let's go too!"

"The last two rounds of real battle assessments, climbing the 'Sky-Scaling Vine', capturing Flying Beasts and Great Demons. Such real combat is truly the main event of this true disciple selection. We must watch closely!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Rotating Pill Realm powerhouses and Spirit Sea Realm disciples at the high seats of the sect entrance square, including Jiang Yao, also wrapped themselves in their qi, turning into streaks of light, following behind the flying boat towards Sky Extreme Cliff.

Those True Qi Realm disciples left on the sect entrance square all looked up at the giant screen.

Before long, they saw in the screen the flying boat and countless streaks of light appearing beneath the ninety-nine Floating Peaks.
