Master Bai Ling sighed lightly, "Master Huiming, has the situation really deteriorated to such an extent? Must we find soone among these young people and train them?"
Monk Huiming's expression was solemn, "Why else do you think, I, an old monk, ca personally this ti? These things have erged from there. Now they've severed our connection with Leiyun Mountain."
"We can rely on no one but ourselves now. If we don't eliminate these creatures, in another decade or so, the entire Martial Arts District will cease to exist!"
Upon hearing these words, Master Bai Ling gulped.
He was well aware that Monk Huiming was not joking.
He took a deep breath, "But this test has run for three or four sessions, yet no one has managed to catch your eye, Master?"
Monk Huiming furrowed his brows, "Now, we can only see if the young one directly under the tutelage of the Leihu Mountain celestial master can undertake this major responsibility!"
"Under Leihu Mountain... Are you referring to the thin young one with the Tang family?" Master Bai Ling quickly asked, "Speaking of which, it's peculiar. Isn't Leihu Mountain rather close to the Zhang Family? Why is he now with the Tang family?"
Monk Huiming slowly responded, "Heh, the Zhang Family wants to completely sever ties with Leihu Mountain, yet Leihu Mountain will never seek them as representatives!"
"This ti, the direct disciple under the celestial master is here on behalf of the entire Leihu Mountain, to see if there's a suitable candidate!"
"If this kid isn't suitable, then..."
Upon reaching this point, Monk Huiming sighed.
This caused a twitch in Master Bai Ling's heart, clearly understanding the gravity of the situation.
If they couldn't find this candidate, it ant that the Martial Arts District might have only ten years left.
Their gazes also turned toward the youth standing beside Tang Chongshan of the Tang family!
At this mont, no one knew of Master Bai Ling and Monk Huiming's disappointnt; everyone was still marveling at the dominance exhibited by Zhang Quanhai!
Until the big screen changed again.
"Red Flower Company, Ling Feixue!"
"Tang Family, Zhang Huaizhi!"
"Wan Family, Wan Qing!"
Upon seeing this new roster, everyone fell into discussion.
"This Ling Feixue is from Red Flower Company, Wan Qing is the Wan Family's top prodigy, Wan Huarou's brother. But who is this Zhang Huaizhi? Never heard of him!"
"Wasn't the Tang family's prodigy Tang Chonghai before? Why was it switched, and moreover, this person's surna..."
Although Zhang is a common surna outside, it's extrely rare in the Martial Arts District.
Because the Zhang surna only appears in two places: the Zhang Family and in Leihu Mountain!
"This Zhang Huaizhi is soone who's never been heard of before, look at his skinny fra, doesn't seem like soone capable!"
"Heh, is the Tang family crazy? Didn't let Tang Chonghai co, instead switched him for so unknown kid!"
Yet, Zhang Quanhai, who had just grabbed the top spot and drew the attention of countless people, furrowed his brow slightly.
For he understood very well that the origin of the Zhang surna was by no ans simple.
"Qin Qi, I'm going!" Ling Feixue said, leaving through a doorway.
The skinny young Zhang Huaizhi, and Wan Qing also followed her in!
About fifteen minutes later.
Ling Feixue erged from inside, looking disheveled.
Soon, the screen displayed her rating!
"Red Flower Company Ling Feixue, score 45, rating B!"
Ling Feixue returned to Qin Qi's side, her previously rosy cheeks now pallid, her small face marked with fright.
Qin Qi couldn't resist asking, "Feixue, what's inside?"
"I don't know what those things are, but as I said before, Qin Qi, if you go in later, you must be careful. Every ti I face those things, I feel terrified, feeling that a single mistake could lead to my mind being corrupted by them!" Ling Feixue bit her lips, her voice laden with fear.
Qin Qi's curiosity about what's inside grew.
Another five minutes passed, Wan Qing also erged.
"Wan Family Wan Qing, score 74, rating S!"
These top talents from the Five Great Clans had similar scores.
Yet sothing puzzling happened.
Surprisingly, this obscure Zhang Huaizhi stayed inside even longer than Wan Qing.
With the crowd already having a glimpse of the situation amidst ceaseless discussions, ti continued to trudge on.
Soon, thirty minutes passed.
The debate beca increasingly fervent!
"Zhang Quanhai stayed inside for 34 minutes, besides him, even the top talents from the Five Great Clans only managed about twenty minutes!"
"Where on earth did they find this Zhang Huaizhi, who managed to stay for 35 minutes?"
And yet, it still wasn't over!
Soon, one minute.
Three minutes.
Five minutes!
"What, this guy surpassed Zhang Quanhai?"
Zhang Quanhai's face gradually turned gloomy.
Tang Chongshan, standing nearby, laughed mockingly, "Zhang Quanhai, I said before, this ti, you Zhang Family want to take first place, but it's not that easy!"
In a sinister tone, Zhang Quanhai spoke, "Tang Chongshan, where did you find this Zhang Huaizhi!"
Tang Chongshan smiled smugly, showing no intention of responding!
Another eight minutes passed.
Finally, the door creaked open.
Zhang Huaizhi's already defeated face was now even more devoid of color as he walked out from within.
The rating was established simultaneously!
"Tang Family Zhang Huaizhi, score 91, rating SS!"
As soon as this rating appeared, the entire venue fell silent!
"91 points?"
"SS!"
"This, higher than Zhang Quanhai? Moreover, it's the first ti seeing an SS rating! This seems to be the first ever in past sessions!"
Everyone was left stupefied, evidently amazed by this rating.
Only Zhang Quanhai's face was particularly unsightly, having faintly guessed Zhang Huaizhi's identity.
anwhile with Master Bai Ling and Monk Huiming.
"Master, Zhang Huaizhi's rating reached SS, aning this kid managed to eliminate a good number of those monsters inside!" Master Bai Ling said excitedly, "Also, he's a top disciple from Leihu Mountain!"
Yet Monk Huiming continued shaking his head.
This made Master Bai Ling's heart shiver, "Is it still not enough then?"
Monk Huiming furrowed his brows, "You must understand, these are rely monsters we've simulated using advanced technology. The real creatures are ten tis, hundred tis more terrifying than the system's simulation."
"To undertake this crucial task, it's still inadequate. Our opportunity is a single shot; if unable to overco these things and regain contact with Leiyun Mountain, our Martial Arts District will be dood!"
"Thus, this person must possess perfect qualities making them fully capable of shouldering this monuntal duty!"
Upon reaching this point, both Master Bai Ling and Monk Huiming's expressions gradually turned grim.
Up until now, even protégés under the celestial master of Leihu Mountain couldn't et this requirent, so who else possibly could?
