Sure enough, when the young man climbed the third-to-last stone staircase, his body suddenly sank, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, dyeing the white stone staircase red.

Duan Jian let out a light sigh, this young man was not mentally prepared, or rather, he was ready to increase the gravity by ten kilograms, but suddenly pressed up by a thousand kilograms.

This time caused his mental and physical imbalance, and his internal organs were also hit hard because of this blow! With his physical fitness, it would have been difficult for him to climb the last three hundred stone stairs again.

Gu Luo had complained about this design more than once, but in the eyes of the elders of the Imperial Sword Sect, as a disciple of the Imperial Sword Sect, he must always be vigilant in order to deal with the danger that may come at any time! The more than 9,000 stone steps in front are not a real test, but the last 300 stone stairs are!

After a mouthful of blood spurted out, the young man's expression became sluggish, and his eyes showed a look of disbelief, and he even had a feeling that the assessment of the Imperial Sword Sect was a kind of deception.

It was as if his lungs were on fire, and the threat of death was getting closer and closer, and the boy had even felt his body seem to be getting farther and farther away from him, and his heart became panicked.

A slight sigh sounded in his ears, and the boy suddenly found that he was wrapped in a warm white light, and the injuries on his body were rapidly recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Before the surprise on his face faded, the young man suddenly realized something, his body stiffened, and when he looked up at the top of the mountain again, his whole body suddenly turned into a white light and appeared at the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the towering ladder to the sky, the young man couldn't help but shed two lines of tears on his face, he knew that he had failed, he was once so close to success, and he was only three hundred stone stairs away from the disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect, which was almost a tentacle distance, but in the end, this distance became a heavenly moat, this is the difference between immortals!

"It's a pity!" Punishment Elder Wei Dong let out a light sigh, in fact, most of the disciples in the Imperial Sword Sect were like the previous young man, they did not have any proud qualifications, and they passed the assessment with a tenacious perseverance, and these disciples who passed the assessment are now all the backbone of the Imperial Sword Sect, and Wei Dong is also one of them.

"Okay, in this disciple recruitment assessment, only two people have passed the first level, Song Jian and Xin Ling!" Punishment Elder Wei Dong turned his head to look at the two of them.

Xin Ling looked a little cramped, if it weren't for the Gu Yue Sword Body, she was afraid that she would not even be as good as the young man before, and she would have been eliminated a long time ago, she felt as if she had walked through the back door.

In fact, Xin Ling didn't know how much the disciples in the Imperial Sword Sect envied her, in the Imperial Sword Sect, the height that can be reached is different between those who have a sword body qualification and those who do not have a sword body qualification, which is why the qualification of the Sword Spirit Pool is so precious in the Imperial Sword Sect!

"You two come forward and listen to me about the assessment content of the second level!" Wei Dong nodded slightly towards the two of them and said.

Song Jian and Xin Ling walked up and stood in front of the main hall, and behind them was an empty ladder to the sky!

"In the second level, you need to go to Jianchi Lake, which is five hundred kilometers away, or collect a red sword grass that has reached perfect condition, or hunt a lord-level boss of the same level to obtain its core, which is required to be excellent in quality, or dig up a moon spirit stone that has reached level nine, or extract a bottle of lake water spirit from Jianchi Lake, or capture a saber-toothed beast cub with perfect qualifications......"

"When you're done, just go back here, the mission time is three days!" Punishment Elder Wei Dong looked at the two of them and said indifferently.

Only then did Song Jian suddenly realize why his mentor Duan Jian had to obtain a flying sword by himself before he came to the Imperial Sword Sect to participate in the entrance assessment.

You must know that 500 kilometers of such a long distance, even if you use the flame light wing, it will take nearly two days and two nights to go back and forth, although the assessment task is not difficult, but the requirements are indeed extremely high, if you are lucky, you may encounter it directly after arriving at Jianchi Lake, if you are unlucky, maybe even if you collect a hundred red sword grasses, you will not be able to collect a single one to achieve perfection.

If you have a flying sword, you will save a lot of time by traveling back and forth, and if you spend all your time looking for mission objectives, the probability of passing will be greatly increased!

At this moment, a faint mosquito voice suddenly came to Song Jian's ears: "Even if you fail the second level assessment, you can become a formal disciple, but the treatment and benefits will be halved, so you'd better be faster, don't delay time!" ”

Song Jian was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that in front of so many peak masters and elders, Duan Jian would dare to transmit his voice to himself, did he really think that these elders and peak masters were all decorations!

Nodding slightly towards Duan Jian with some helplessness, Song Jian had already seen that several peak masters and elders were looking towards Duan Jian with unkind expressions.

"Ahem, Xin Ling, the assessment of the second level is also very important, you must be cautious, go and come back quickly!" Gu Luo said to Xin Ling with a serious face.

Xin Ling looked a little ignorant, but she still said to Gu Luo very respectfully: "Got it, mentor! ”

Song Jian couldn't help but roll his eyes at Duan Jian, and secretly said in his heart: "The gap, this is the gap!" ”

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, take the map, and let's go quickly!" Punishment Elder Wei Dong threw two inconspicuous-looking parchment scrolls to the two of them.

Song Jian took it and saw that this parchment scroll looked ordinary, but in fact it was like an electronic map, not only marking his current location, marking the location of Jianchi Lake, but even a faint phantom appeared, showing how to get there safely and quickly.

At this time, Song Jian couldn't help but hear a voice in his ears: "Gaode map navigates for you......"

Song Jian couldn't help shouting in his heart: "This is simply a magic version of the GPS navigation map!" ”

"Edgeworth Flight!" With a soft drink, Xin Ling stepped on a flying sword and quickly flew towards the direction of Jianchi Lake, and at her feet, she stepped on a flying sword that emitted a faint silver light.

Gu Luo glanced at Duan Jian with a little pride, and said in a low voice: "This is the flying sword I bought for fifty amethyst coins, although the attack power is average, but the flight speed is not weaker than the ordinary golden quality flying sword, it can be regarded as a leak......"

At this time, Duan Jian was a little remorseful for his previous transmission, and compared with Gu Luo's generous advice, he seemed too petty.

But after hearing Gu Luo's slightly ostentatious words, an inexplicable look suddenly appeared on Duan Jian's face, he coughed lightly twice, and said to Song Jian: "Song Jian, go and go back quickly, don't delay time!" ”

Song Jian glanced at Duan Jian, nodded slightly, and directly summoned the flying sword, cast the imperial sword to fly, and flew towards the Sword Pond Lake, which instantly became a small dot in the air and disappeared, almost three times faster than Xin Ling.
