ist, but even someone with one branch might defeat him. It was just a draw if it were equal strength, although his true qi was also very thick. However, the more advanced in True Martial Realm, the mo...Chapter 2793: Mental Assessment
Upon arriving at the minefield, Shen Xiang and co. heard shrill cries of pain echoing in the air. All were women's voices crying out!
The mere sound was chilling, making everyone shiver. They had rested for a half-hour and their pain has subsided, indicating that they were quite resilient.
But now, hearing that painful cry, the pain that had just vanished seemed to return!
Within the minefield, thunder roars continuously, striking down relentlessly. The mere sound of it is already terrifying; one can only imagine the fear upon entering.
"Those women are so frighteningly loud!" Kuang Qingtian murmured to himself.
"Hehe, wait until you guys start crying; I bet it won't sound any better than them." The middle-aged cunning fellow laughed: "Get ready to go in. Same rules as before, no using spiritual energy to resist."
Everyone stood by the spacious basement and didn't want to enter, because once they did, it meant immediate suffering!
"Go in!" Gou Qian天 kicked at Cai Ling's buttocks and sent him inside. As soon as the order was given, several bolts of lightning struck down immediately, all landing on Cai Ling's body.
"Ahhhhh..." Chunmg Ling immediately started shouting like a pig being slaughtered, his throat nearly tearing apart as he trembled all over.
The originally intended laughter of Gu Qingtian could not be expressed, as they would all have to endure such a fate!
"You **ing bastard..."
The time had come for Shen Xiang to enter, and immediately, several bolts of lightning rushed towards him. In a blink of an eye, they struck his body, producing crackling sounds.
Shen Xiang's eyebrows slightly curled, indeed, this pain was a bit intense, but he could still endure it. Then, he sat down in a corner and closed his eyes, allowing the lightning to strike him as it pleased.
"All of you, get in!" As the middle-aged man spoke, he unleashed a powerful force that pushed everyone standing by his side into the space. Then, like a slaughterhouse, there was an uproar as everyone began to scream freely.
Another day ends. After the cultivation in the lightning area, everyone's body is smoking, and many of them are already charred black. Xin Xiang Song only has a superficial darkened appearance, and the rest are fine except for their conditions. At least he is the only one who can walk out of this lightning room, while the others are crawling out!
"Take a break for two hours, then we continue. There are still eight days!" The middle-aged man looked at these half-dead people and chuckled.
During the next eight days, they alternated cultivation in the inferno and ice, with two people dropping out along the way. Everyone could understand that; they didn't know how much longer they could endure!
They have to meditate for ten days every month. Nowadays, they can take a rest for twenty days, but everyone's mood is not lifting up because after the twenty days, they still have to continue this hellish training.
"Qing Tian, I wonder how you managed to withstand that pain" Gu Qian Tian was very curious. He climbed beside Shen Xiang and asked.
"If you cultivate outside the main hall for hundreds or thousands of years," Shen Xiang said, "you won't mind the pain." Indeed, he had experienced this kind of painful cultivation many times, and for very long periods, in various ways.
"Hundreds to thousands of years" Ancient Qian Tian couldn't help but shiver. "Do you mean you walked like this for that long"
"About right!" Shen Xiang nodded and said, "There's nothing we can do. I come from a poor background, desiring to attain great strength for the purpose of cultivating an immensely powerful physical body. This is my only option."
"I don't believe it! You coming from such a low background, how could you be so skilled Even the so-called chief disciples of the Green Dragon Gate don't have your level of dragon Dao energy."
"That was the sweet taste I tasted after enduring hardships," Shen Xiang said with a smile, "You've experienced such hardship and you should know how to make yourself strong. You also have ways to obtain more dao crystals!"
"Sigh! Are you really going to take the Inner Gate Assessment The coach said it's much more terrifying than what we're experiencing now."
"You must go!" Shen Xiang said, "If you can't get over, you'll just end up back here."
The practice here is arduous for many, especially for these pampered scions from distinguished families.
Sentense Xiang rested for a moment and had recovered almost completely before returning to his own stone chamber.
"Rest and adjust for another day, then go to participate in the assessment for the Inner Gate. I want to join the Inner Gate!" Shen Xiang had learned about some information regarding the Inner Gate from the coach. Entering it would make things much easier, at least he wouldn't have to undergo such tedious and painful cultivation.
Having taken a day off, Shen Xiang immediately signed up. At this moment, many people were present here. These people were all those who had passed the assessment and entered the outer sect before. They used to be young gentlemen from noble families, but now, their arrogance had been worn down and they no longer carried the haughty attitude that came with being from noble families.
The moment they signed up, everyone felt that Shen Xiang was unfamiliar. Originally, the ones participating in this evaluation were senior disciples who had failed multiple times before. After realizing this, they found out that Shen Xiang only entered the outer gate ten days ago!
They're being tested just ten days in! This has surprised many people!
Once, many did aspire to quickly enter the Inner Door as they stepped inside. But after enduring ten days of hellish cultivation, none had those thoughts anymore!
As the internal gate assessment is much harsher than hell cultivation.
After registering, everyone was led into a cave that had lava lakes inside. Just being close to them gave off the sensation of their intense heat.
The group was bathing inside, and more than half of them only lasted for half an hour before they withdrew. The others were suffering in pain, and there were even more people who let out terrible cries.
Very soon, a day passed. What started with hundreds has now dwindled down to dozens. These are the ones who have made it through the first hurdle.
"This assessment is indeed rather challenging. Even I find it extremely painful!" As Shen Xiang soaked in the water, he activated the divine technique of Celestial Body. He transformed the stimulation brought by pain into a force that strengthens one's body. Only this sufficient pain allows the divine technique of Celestial Body to function.
Level two involves stepping into the minefield, a terrifying presence unlike the之前的 lava pits. Several people started to crawl out and withdraw at the very beginning.
Only ten people managed to堅持到最後!
"The second checkpoint has passed, and it went relatively smoothly!" This second checkpoint made Shen Xiang feel very stressful, making him consider quitting, but he still persisted.
Now everyone can rest for two hours, and then it's on to the final round!
The morale of everyone was significantly dampened after enduring the assessments in the previous two trials. Even Shen Xiang, who was usually full of energy, was now lacking in spirit. The rest period for two hours was still too short.
Two hours later, the mental test of the third stage came unconsciously. Shen Xiang, who was originally resting with his eyes closed, suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a vast grassland where dead bodies were scattered everywhere. The people who had died were all his familiar relatives and friends!
Seeing this scene, he almost collapsed!
But he quickly recovered and realized that he was undergoing an evaluation. He immediately took a deep breath, stabilizing his mind!Chapter 1007: Turning into a pill
