“If the third level of the ‘speed’ trial in the trial tower is a small obstacle, then the fourth level of the ‘mental strength’ trial is a big obstacle!”
“Generally, most students cross the first or second level. Outstanding students may pass the speed trial, but most will stop at the fourth level.”
“I didn’t expect someone to actually surpass the ‘mental strength’ trial so quickly at the fourth level, then reach the fifth level!”
“However, Even though the mental strength trial is very difficult for ordinary students, an alchemist would find it easy!”
“Huh? Are you saying that the spot of light that has reached the fifth level is Lou Qianxue?”
“It can’t be… It’s her first time entering the trial tower, yet she has reached the fifth level?”
“In the recent hundred years, even the most outstanding student in our school, Xu Tailang, only reached the sixth level. She actually reached the fifth level… Could it be that she’s qualified to be compared to Xu Tailang?”
As everyone looked at the black tower, shocked expressions appeared on their faces.
Inside the tower.
Someone had given up on the speed trial at the third level. However, even if one didn’t give up. They would be automatically sent out if they failed to clear the trial within half an hour.
Soon…
One by one, the new students either took the initiative or were forced to leave the trial tower…
Fewer and fewer spots of light remained in the black tower.
Most of them had gathered at the fourth level.
However, two were at the fifth level!
“Two! In this batch of new students, two actually reached the fifth level.”
“Their talent in cultivation is only second to Xu Tailang!”
“Humph!” As the crowd agitatedly discussed, Shen Shuangmu snorted.
The venue instantly turned silent.
Shen Shuangmu had listened for a long time, and he already knew the people who were still in the tower. With a cold gaze, he said, “Who is that Second Young Master from Zhen Guogong’s mansion? Isn’t it very easy to reach the fifth level? Lou Qianxue, that useless trash, is full of tricks. She has made use of pills and her advantage as an alchemist to pass through the first four trial levels. She really makes others feel disgraceful!
“However, she can only reach the fifth level since she has made use of pills! Don’t forget that the trial at the fifth level is related to artistic concept!!! Second Young Master may be able to pass the artistic concept trial, but Lou Qianxue? Humph! With her cultivation, even if she stimulates her potential, it’s impossible for her to pass!”
At that moment.
Some students exited the black tower.
These two were Li Tingtao and Bai Muyan.
They happened to hear these words the moment they came out.
They immediately frowned. “Who’s talking rubbish?”
Li Tingtao unhappily looked at the crowd. “I don’t know what kind of understanding you all have toward Qianxue, but the artistic concept trial? Humph! What’s that for her! Qianxue had understood the Lightning concept two years ago!”
“Right! Furthermore, Qianxue does not use pills to cheat and gain advantage. She’s not that kind of person. There’s also no need for her to do so.”
“Huh?” Shen Shuangmu’s body exuded a coldness that was filled with murderous intent. “You two dare to question and rebuke me?”
At the next moment!
Whoosh!
He appeared in front of Li Tingtao and Bai Muyan and dangerously looked at the two of them. The strong pressure of his Mystic Martial Realm cultivation instantly pressured them.
“You seem to understand Lou Qianxue very well. Why? Are you two her friends?”
“You… Who are you?” Due to the cold murderous intent and pressure, cold sweat appeared on Li Tingtao’s forehead.
His legs trembled, and he lost control of them.
“Me? You’re not qualified to know! You have not answered me. Are you Lou Qianxue’s friends?”
“I…” Li Tingtao became hesitant.
“Yes!” However, Bai Muyan bit his teeth and nodded. “You’re right. We are Lou Qianxue’s friends! Like Lou Qianxue, we came from Liuyun Prefecture!”
