On the other side of the Bitter River, everyone was shocked by Cheng Feng's sudden explosion.

Amongst them, Tie Mushaohua was the strongest.

One had to know, Cheng Feng's spearhead was aimed straight at her. If he could not resolve it, she would lose the chance to enter the Hidden Dragon Academy, and sweep the floor and return home!

This was a devastating blow to a genius Martial Cultivator.

Tie Mushaohua was terrified, frightened, and when he was at a dead end, he immediately turned his gaze to Tiemu Dengke for help.

At this time, Tiemu Dengke also felt goosebumps all over his body, shocked by Cheng Feng's outburst.

However, Tiemu Dengke was intelligent, he took a deep breath, and suppressed his anger: "Senior brother Chen, Tie Mushaohua is a rare talent, if he can join our academy, he will definitely become a strong Ranker in the future, I hope senior brother will not be troubled by the small bet."

"A small bet?" Cheng Feng's gaze was sharp as a blade, he stared straight at Tiemu Dengke: "I think everyone here knows that no matter what, no matter how trustworthy you are, if Hidden Dragon Academy is able to recruit so many talents, and not even accept your reputation, then I have nothing to say!"

Cheng Feng's words were like a knife, they were filled with righteousness, making everyone feel that his words were reasonable.

After Chen Qingyi finished listening, her face revealed an expression of agreement, and without giving Tiemu Dengke a chance to speak, she directly said, "The examinee, Tie Mushaohua, has fought with Cheng Feng, and now that the bet has failed, according to the bet, Tie Mushaohua's qualification for the next exam."

When Chen Qingyi said this, they all smiled faintly.

As for Tiemu Dengke's group, their faces were ashen, especially Tie Mushaohua's, as if he had just eaten a dead rat, and was desperate to the point of being hysterical.

Regarding this, Cheng Feng did not have a single bit of sympathy, because Tie Mushaohua had brought this upon himself, so he could not blame anyone else!

"Alright, the first stage of the student recruitment examination is over. Next, we'll proceed to the second stage." With that, Chen Qingyi and Tiemu Dengke took the lead and left.

Following Chen Qingyi's departure, the hundred over exam candidates and the tens of thousands of spectators also began to move, leaving Tie Mushaohua crying in despair.

Not long after, Cheng Feng and the others arrived at the front of the giant Hidden Dragon Academy peak.

The giant peak where Hidden Dragon Academy resided hung in the sky on all four sides, and between the giant peak and the mountain peak on the other side was a bottomless abyss.

The chasm was about seven to eight li wide and was surrounded by clouds and mist all year round, forming all sorts of grotesquely shaped ghost shadows. Sometimes the wind howled like ghosts crying, so it was called the Ghost Abyss.

"Is this the Ghost Abyss? "Indeed, it is filled with ghastly aura." Looking at the endless abyss in front of him, Cheng Feng was a little shocked.

Above the Ghost Abyss, ghostly shadows filled the air, causing chills to run down one's spine. Especially the ghostly wails created by the wind, which were like awls that pierced into one's heart, causing one's pores to constrict.

"Everyone look, this is the Ghost Abyss." Chen Qingyi arrived at the edge of the Ghost Abyss, pointed to a Steel Chain that was as thick as a person's waist, and introduced it: "This Steel Chain, is the only way to enter and leave the Hidden Dragon Academy, and your next test, will be to follow this Steel Chain to the top of the mountain where the academy is located."

"What?! This is the second stage of the academy?"

"It doesn't seem to be that difficult. The heavens are truly helping me."

"Hmph. Don't be happy too early. You must know that Hidden Dragon Academy does not accept trash. This test is definitely not simple."

Hearing Chen Qingyi's words, all the examinees started talking at once, trying to find out how difficult this stage was.

As for the audience, they weren't interested in this. They were discussing which genius would shine greatly in this trial.

Due to his previous brilliant performance, Cheng Feng had also become the focus of everyone's discussions, and was filled with anticipation for him.

"The students who passed the first round of examinations, get ready. Then, we will begin the second round." Beside the Demon Abyss, Chen Qingyi gave the order to start the assessment.

However, none of the youngsters were in a rush. They all waited with rapt attention, hoping for others to take the lead and gain some experience.

However, those who were able to pass the first trial weren't easy to deal with and were quite patient.

For a moment, the entire venue was silent. Not a single person had entered the stage.

"Since no one dares to go up, let me be the first one." In the midst of the silence, a sonorous, metallic voice came from the mouth of a black-clothed youth.

This person was actually the son of Lanzhou, Li Shiji.

Li Shiji had awakened a level eight blade Martial Soul, so his way of doing things was affected as well.

Right now, he was in the lead for the second stage of the examination.

"Well done, as expected of someone with Lanzhou. Good job!"

"Young Master Li will win! We support you! You are the best!"

When Li Shiji stepped onto the stage, the spectators who were supporting him immediately started clamoring.

Standing amongst the examinees, Cheng Feng slightly nodded his head before turning his gaze towards Li Shiji, to see how he would travel across the Ghost Abyss.

Wu wu wu … Wu wu wu …

Above the Ghost Abyss, clouds and mist curled about. The sound of ghosts wailing and howling filled the air, causing one's heart to tremble.

But when Li Shiji stepped onto the Steel Chain above the Ghost Abyss, he turned a deaf ear. With regards to the layers of ghost shadows, he only had one movement, and that was to slash out.

Something that dared to obstruct his path only had one word, and that was' cut '!

Li Shiji's temperament was simple and straightforward, but this seemed to perfectly restrain the Abyss, so when he walked forward, the tip of his blade actually went as far as pulling apart dry weeds and rotten wood.

This Ghost Abyss that terrified others had actually easily crossed it in the time it took for an incense stick to burn under his foot!

"Success, Li Shiji has successfully passed the second round."

"I knew it, people with Lanzhou have no weaklings, and as the son of Li Family, Li Shiji is even more so!"

Amidst the crowd's praises, Li Shiji was not surprised at all. However, the other examinees had faces full of envy and admiration, and even Chen Qingyi couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.

And just at this moment, the monstrous genius Beast Dress Young Man whose Borderland s had appeared also went up on stage.

This Beast Dress Young Man had closely followed Li Shiji in his assessment during the first stage, but he had never expected that the second stage would also be like this.

This made everyone have a lot of strange thoughts, and they all started to guess if the Beast Dress Young Man was fighting with Li Shiji, or if they had to divide it into different groups during the assessment.

Under the influence of this guessing wind, the atmosphere instantly became heated.

At the same time, Beast Dress Young Man had already begun crossing the Ghost Abyss.

Beast Dress Young Man's method of crossing the Ghost Abyss was similar to the first pass of Bitter River. The moment they appeared, they immediately activated the mirage of an ancient Vicious Beasts.

Under the protection of this Vicious Beasts, as if walking on flat ground, Beast Dress Young Man easily passed through the Ghost Abyss, and became the second student present to pass the second round.

"Tsk tsk, not good, this Beast Dress Young Man's method of crossing the Ghost Abyss is neither warm nor hot, not good at all."

"I feel that this isn't the most exciting part. This is the most exciting part."

"One must know that the Ghost Abyss is extremely dangerous, but Beast Dress Young Man can't do it in the slightest. Only by travelling across it can one truly be strong."

"Your words seem to make some sense."

Beast Dress Young Man crossed the Ghost Abyss, causing the audience to be slightly disappointed. Because Beast Dress Young Man was too stable, it was not very impressive.

But it was precisely Beast Dress Young Man's performance that stimulated the confidence of the many youths.

Immediately after the Beast Dress Young Man's assessment ended, dozens of examinees embarked on their journey.

On the side of the Ghost Abyss, Cheng Feng continued to spectate. Because Li Shiji and the Beast Dress Young Man were both super strong existences, their journey through the Ghost Abyss did not have much meaning.

As for the rest of the exam candidates, because their strengths were similar to Cheng Feng's, they observed them in detail and only benefited from Cheng Feng's subsequent assessment.
