"..."
Everyone comnted one by one.
Their faces showed satisfaction.
The prestige of the True Martial Sect increased greatly, and so renowned families were also willing to send their potential offspring here.
At this mont.
The Heaven-Ascending Ladder was already sparsely populated.
People were dragged in a long line.
Divided into several groups.
It was estimated that less than five percent would reach the top, which ant fewer than five hundred people.
The difficulty was imaginable.
Ning Qi and Taoist Longshan had stopped their chess ga and walked to the window, gazing at the top of the Heaven-Ascending Ladder in the distance. Luo Wentian and others were waiting there. One by one, the children who reached the top stood in joy. Their journey up the Heaven-Ascending Ladder had been a baptism of their will and character, making their future path in Martial Arts smoother.
Taoist Longshan sighed with emotion:
"Jiu, your thod is really good. Once these disciples mature, True Martial Sect will indeed be as stable as Mount Tai."
Ning Qi rely chuckled softly.
He made a light "hmm" sound, his gaze sowhat amazed.
Taoist Longshan followed his gaze and was equally shocked.
Near the top of the Heaven-Ascending Ladder, a boy with thick brows and big eyes was struggling to climb. Most of those who should have reached the top had already done so. The boy was using both his hands and feet, with an astonishing determination in his eyes, leaving a faint trail of blood behind him.
Those were the hands and feet worn bloody.
The shoes on his feet were already in tatters, but he was still resolutely moving upward.
With the vision of Ning Qi and Taoist Longshan, it was not difficult to see that the boy’s internal strength was almost exhausted, and he seed to be participating in the test on an empty stomach. Judging from his clothes, he ca from a very low background.
Taoist Longshan sighed deeply:
"This child has great perseverance."
Ning Qi nodded appreciatively.
This was rare indeed.
Naturally, people at the mountaintop also noticed this boy.
When he used up his last bit of strength to climb the final step, Luo Wentian’s eyes were full of admiration.
He personally went over to offer food and water.
"Little one, what’s your na?"
The boy was extrely nervous; he never expected to be noticed by a big figure like Luo Wentian. He hadn’t even had ti to rejoice in finishing the Heaven-Ascending Ladder, and he instinctively stamred:
"I, I don’t have a na. People in the village used to call Gou Dan."
So around him showed disdain, while others looked with respect, knowing how hard it was for the boy to get here.
Luo Wentian patted him on the shoulder, smiling encouragingly:
"Gou Dan, right? Have a good rest and work hard from now on."
Gou Dan nodded vigorously, his mood extrely excited.
At this mont.
Luo Wentian’s silhouette was full of radiance in his mind. He began to ravenously devour the food in his hand, feeling sowhat regretful that his sister couldn’t share it with him. He made up his mind in his heart to pass the test and beco a True Martial disciple!
In the past, he wanted to beco a True Martial disciple just to fill his stomach, but now he had an indescribable feeling towards the True Martial Sect.
Luo Wentian looked around the people and said loudly:
"Firstly, congratulations on passing the Heaven-Ascending Ladder test. Whether or not you can beco a True Martial disciple, this is a valuable experience for you, enough to take you further!"
"Now rest well and prepare for the next challenge. You can also take the opportunity to observe the formidable strength of your Martial Arts seniors and set goals for yourselves."
The children’s eyes sparkled.
They realized that this might be the test of those Gang Essence Realm experts, who were super big figures beyond reach for most of them.
Luo Wentian smiled at the nurous Gang Essence Realm experts:
"Ladies and gentlen, who will go first?"
The format of the test for the Gang Essence Realm was not difficult; the first round was about combat power, which he had already introduced quite clearly.
And the subject of the combat power demonstration.
Was the chanical beings before their eyes. As long as they could hold out under the chanical beings’ siege for a quarter of an hour, they would pass smoothly.
At this mont.
Everyone was looking at those chanical beings with a strange gaze. They stood several ters tall and exuded a sense of oppression. This was naturally also Ning Qi’s recent achievent, or rather, he had always dabbled in chanical Technique.
Previously, He Yan had brought so miscellaneous skills for him to gain so insight.
Though these chanical beings were sowhat clumsy and couldn’t chase enemies, after Ning Qi combined them with the Qin Array, they beca practical tools for testing.
From the Body Tempering Realm to the Inner Essence Realm and on to the Gang Essence Realm, they all existed.
The chanical beings before them ford an array that could pose a significant threat to the White Mist Realm, only the best among them could pass.
Ning Qi and Taoist Longshan were watching, and with their insight, they could discern so clues from the many Gang Essence Realm experts’ actions. Perhaps they could even tell their origins from their Martial Arts techniques, unless they had never learned those iconic Martial Arts, in which case it would be hard to conceal.
On the field.
Over a hundred Gang Essence Realm experts were a bit unsure of the strength of these chanical beings.
But eventually, soone was willing to be the first to take the plunge.
A Cyan Robed Swordsman stepped forward, his eyes brimming with confidence:
"I’ll go!"
As soon as his words fell.
He had already rushed out.
Crack, crack, crack.
A buzzing sound ensued as all the chanical beings seed to awaken from a deep sleep and began to move.
Though clumsy, every move carried great power. The whistling sound was hair-raising, and when they ford an array, it exerted an airtight pressure. Moreover, their extraordinary material ant that Gang Qi strikes only left white marks on them, and that pressure ca rushing in an instant.
Of course, since this was a test, the Gang Essence Realm experts couldn’t flee. In normal circumstances, no number of chanical beings could pose much of a threat to them, as they could easily widen the distance with their speed.
