Among the many disciples participating in the Earth Hall assessment, only Xiao Ye came from the Yellow Hall, so Xiao Ye was following alone at the back, appearing somewhat solitary, and often attracting some unusual gazes.
Soon after, the Elder of the Earth Hall, along with the many disciples participating in the assessment, stopped in front of an odd building on this continent.
"This is the venue for this year’s Earth Hall assessment. There are doors on both the front and back of this building. You need to step through this front door and then exit through the back door within one day. If you fail to pass, you will be eliminated," the Elder pointed at an ancient door not far away and said.
Upon hearing this, many disciples looked towards the building, astonishment flashing in their eyes.
The building looked quite bizarre under the sunlight, exhibiting a black luster with an oval shape, approximately ten meters tall, covering an area of a hundred miles.
However, any disciple daring to participate in the Earth Hall assessment possessed at least the cultivation of the King Martial Realm. Passing through this building seemed to be very simple.
But they weren’t fools. The assessment of the Earth Hall definitely wasn’t so easy to pass; there must be some mysteries within this building.
At this moment, a stout disciple loudly declared and then stepped forward, walking towards the door under everyone’s gaze.
"Hmm?" Xiao Ye quickly perked up his spirit and looked on.
He saw that disciple approach the door, then stretch out his hands, ready to push the door open.
At the moment that disciple’s hands touched the door, the ancient door emitted a black glow causing his expression to drastically change. He let out a roar, and a King Realm rose behind him, the vast energy fluctuations sweeping all around.
At the same time, the ancient door also burst forth with black radiance. After entangling for a few moments, the disciple let out a scream, and blood spurted from his mouth as he was flung out, heavily crashing to the ground.
At this moment, all the disciples participating in the assessment were shocked, falling into prolonged silence.
It was then that the Elder of the Earth Hall leisurely said: "I forgot to tell you, to enter the building, you must push open the door, otherwise you don’t even qualify for the assessment."
As he spoke, the Elder glanced subtly at Xiao Ye, clearly indicating that he believed Xiao Ye was unqualified to participate in the assessment.
"Alright, enter one by one. Whether you can step into our Xuanzi Hall depends on your own capabilities," the Elder said seeing the silent disciples, frowning as he urged them.
The assessing disciples, upon hearing this, were jolted awake. They did not have much time, and it was obvious that whoever entered first would have the advantage.
"No one compete with me!"
Instantly, the disciples rushed forward one after another, even fighting to be the first to push the ancient door.
Only Xiao Ye remained calm, his gaze fixed intently on the door, wanting to see what was so special about it to prepare for his own attempt.
The second disciple to reach the ancient door had just stretched his hands to push it when he was repelled by the black light on the door.
Without exception, the third disciple was also repelled.
For a time, among the ten disciples who tried, only one managed to push open the ancient door.
The ancient door opened slightly, a chilling breath spilled out, causing the temperature at the scene to plummet rapidly.
The disciple who had opened the door clenched his teeth, his figure flashed as he dashed into the gap, then the door closed again, and all traces of the aura disappeared.
"What on earth is inside this building!" Many disciples were still dazed, the ice-cold breath that had poured out making them feel like they had fallen into an ice cellar, chilling them to the bone.
In the next moment, all the disciples once again charged towards the door, with some getting repelled occasionally, and only a few managed to push open the door to rush inside.
From afar, Xiao Ye’s eyes flashed with a cold light; he roughly understood what strength was required to open the door.
"My turn!" With eyes radiating sharp light, as if penetrating the void like two long knives, Xiao Ye’s figure shook as he rushed towards the door.
"Since it’s this trash!"
"Actually daring to compete with us, get lost quickly!"
As the disciples jostled to get to the front, seeing Xiao Ye rushing over, they became furious.
Yet before they had a chance to make a move, a terrifying force suddenly swept out from Xiao Ye, pushing them all back.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ye seized this opportunity, charging out like lightning.
"Seeking death!" A disciple from Xuanzi Hall who had squeezed to the front, seeing Xiao Ye, snorted coldly. Behind him, a King Realm rose, the King Martial Realm’s suppression sweeping in all directions.
"It’s you who is seeking death, get lost!" Xiao Ye gave him an impatient glance, his palm lightly waved, and nine Destruction Hands stretched across the void, causing that disciple to stagger back more than ten steps before stopping.
Every disciple who witnessed this scene inhaled sharply, their faces filled with shock.
Oh my god, the disciple who just attacked Xiao Ye was one of the talented disciples from the Xuanzi Hall, but he was repelled by Xiao Ye with one palm strike, making them feel like they were dreaming.
Is this the same Xiao Ye from the Yellow Hall who has been ridiculed and has been in the Holy Palace for less than a year?
"This boy..." The Elder from the Earth Hall, initially ready to enjoy the spectacle, was also greatly shocked, his facial expression stiffening as if struck by lightning.
In the next moment, Xiao Ye had already reached the front of the Ancient Gate.
"Open for me!" In Xiao Ye’s pitch-black eyes, bursts of sharp light suddenly erupted, his body radiating intense Golden Radiance, dazzling like a brilliant sun, making him unbearable to look at directly.
Following, Xiao Ye extended his fists, as if cast from gold, and powerfully struck the Ancient Gate, causing the black light that had just risen on the door to directly shatter.
The Ancient Gate trembled, then slowly revealed a crack. A cold breath leaked out, petrifying all the disciples, their faces burning hotly as if they had been slapped.
Among the disciples from the Xuanzi Hall who participated in the assessment, only one in ten could push open the door, yet Xiao Ye had done it so effortlessly.
"The previous matters, I, Xiao Ye, can overlook. But if anyone dares to speak ill again, I will not be polite." Xiao Ye turned around, staring coldly at all the disciples, and then with a stride, he charged into the building.
