Winter nights are always very long, so at the beginning of the morning, the sky is still very dark, and God does not seem to be very happy today, the sky is covered with a thick layer of dark clouds, and it looks like it is going to snow again.

But this can't stop the people who came to participate in the selection at all, seven or eight hundred people have all arrived before the hour arrives, but yesterday a group of people on the stage disappeared for a long time, and even ordinary disciples did not appear, and on the huge square, there were only people who participated in the test this time.

Feng Heng saw that many people had been standing yawning for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, suddenly the cold wind suddenly rose, and then pieces of snowflakes fell, and after a while, everyone was covered with a layer of snow, fortunately, everyone had cultivation, but they didn't feel how cold it was, but everyone began to beat the drum in their hearts, and now it was almost time, but the people of Qianqiumen still hadn't appeared, and they didn't know what medicine they were selling in their gourds.

"Looks like I've got something to play today. Ren Yan, who was standing next to Feng Heng, spoke quietly, and he couldn't tell whether he was excited or helpless in his tone.

Feng Heng exhaled a white breath, "Could it be that let's stand here for a day is the second test?"

Ren Yan smiled, "I'm afraid it's not that simple, I've learned before, this second item is indeed a test of perseverance, but for a cultivator, it's really not difficult to stand for a day, and I think those people in Qianqiumen aren't so boring." ”

"Perseverance test?" Feng Heng raised his eyebrows, the criteria for selecting people from the Qianqiu Sect were really a little unique, and he was immediately a little curious, "Have you participated in the selection before?"

Ren Yan glanced at him, "That's not true, this Qianqiu Sect recruits disciples once every ten years, and the recruits must be people under the age of fifteen, so that everyone only has that chance once in their life, and it is said that the items tested are different every time, just to avoid someone preparing in advance." ”

"And how do you know?"

"There is a convention, although the items of each test are different, but the purpose will not change, the first is the qualification test, the second is the perseverance test, as for the third item, you will know when the time comes. ”

Feng Heng couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, he seemed to know this Qianqiu Gate very well.

Ren Yan smiled slightly: "A friend of mine has participated in this test, and their second test of the year is that everyone climbs a very steep and thorny mountain without using Yuan Force, and the first three hundred to reach the top of the mountain within the specified time are considered qualified." ”

Feng Heng's eyelids jumped, this kind of test is not poisonous, "Then what happened to your friend's test results?"

"This—" Ren Yan froze slightly, "He's eliminated, but not in the second item." ”

"That's the case..."Feng Heng didn't know what to say for a while, so he changed the topic and said: "By the way, there is one thing I am very curious about, why are so many people flocking to this sect, could it be that there is really something special here?"

Ren Yan was stunned for a while, and then he seemed to think of something, and said with a smile: "That's not true, I think you shouldn't go out often, you don't know much about this sect, in fact, it's not only Qianqiu Sect, every sect is like this, and even some sects have tens of thousands of people signing up every time." ”

"Why is that? Actually, I feel like it's the same everywhere I cultivate. Feng Heng became more and more curious.

Ren Yan shook his head, "It's different, it's very different, I think you really don't know, so let me tell you, although the wind of cultivation is at its peak now, it seems that you can cultivate anywhere, but the family, the country and the sect are three different concepts, the family depends on the state and exists, and the country is dependent on the sect." ”

"Do you mean to say that the sect is bigger than the country?

"It's not an exaggeration to say that, there are countless families in a country, but often there is only one big sect in many countries, of course, I'm talking about the scale of Qianqiumen, they are like a big tree, the branches and leaves cover several countries, and the disciples are all over various industries, which can be said to be a huge driving force for development. ”

"How is this possible, does the sect have such great ability?" After all, Feng Heng also has an identity as Kane, and the structure of the two worlds is very different, so it is a little difficult to accept for a while.

Ren Yan seemed to be a little speechless about his ignorance, "This is very understandable, why there are so many cultivators now, it is because of the popularity of cultivation exercises and yuan techniques, and ninety percent of those exercises and yuan techniques come from various major sects, of course, there are some special families, they are even more powerful than the sects." ”

"I see. Feng Heng was a little stunned, this is the sadness of being born at the bottom, thinking that if Kane is also from an ordinary poor family, I am afraid that my understanding of the Wind Continent is also half-understood.

Ren Yan nodded and wanted to say something, but he heard the noise around him, looked up, and saw that the surrounding buildings were opening one after another, and a team of disciples came out from inside, and then the door of the middle building was also pushed open, and a group of people came out, it was the group on the stage yesterday, and the master of the door also appeared, but it was still wrapped in the purple ball.

"It's strange that this master is so mysterious, and he has so much power for a long time, which can be regarded as excusable, after all, it is not so easy for ordinary people to see the emperor. Feng Heng calmed down in his heart.

The master of the door still did not speak, and the person who presided over yesterday walked out of the crowd, "Don't say more, the second test will be conducted today, and as for the specific content of the test, you will know immediately." ”

After speaking, I saw him wave his right hand, and the disciples below had an order to disperse the remaining hundreds of people around the square, and then in the puzzled eyes of everyone, only to hear a click, the floor tiles in the middle of the square suddenly moved, and they all moved around, and after a while, they saw a large pool appear in the center of the square.

Everyone was dumbfounded, Feng Heng was also stunned, this battle was definitely a big deal, the pool was at least two hundred meters square, and it was absolutely no problem to accommodate a thousand people, to create such a large hollow floor, this is not something that ordinary people can imagine.

The depth of the pool was not visible, because it was filled with an opaque white liquid, which did not look like water, and even the vibration of the floor did not cause a ripple, and the height of the liquid from the liquid to the ground was only about an inch.

Qianqiumen everyone didn't feel a little proud on their faces, and the person who presided over it smiled slightly, "This is today's test, it's very simple, wait for everyone to go down in a while, and the last three hundred people who come up will be considered qualified, of course, there is also a time limit, and those who come out within two hours will be regarded as unqualified, and there is another thing I hope everyone will keep in mind, that is, there is a device to detect Yuan Force in this pool, as long as you use a trace of Yuan Force, you will be considered to abstain." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, if it was water, there would be no difficulty at all, even if they didn't use Yuan Force, they could easily pass the level, but since the rules are like this, then it can only be explained that it is not water!

The disciple next to him didn't give everyone time to think, so he hurriedly lined everyone up in a circle around the pool, and then said, "Wait until I count to three and jump down, and those who are late will be regarded as abstaining!"

Everyone was naturally nervous, this pool seemed to have turned into a giant mouth of a monster at this moment, Feng Heng could clearly hear the sound of the fluttering heartbeat around him, and a fear of the unknown could not help but arise spontaneously.

"One!", the disciple saw that everyone was already standing and began to count aloud.

"Two!", about three breaths apart between the two voices, Feng Heng heard everyone's heartbeat getting faster and faster.

"Three!!"

As the sound came out, everyone jumped down in unison, but the expected sound of falling water did not appear, and everyone went down without a sound, but a cry of pain followed.

"It's cold....!!"

"How can it be so cold!!"

"What the hell is this!!"

"It's cold!"

Feng Heng, as one of them, naturally understood everyone's feelings very well, it turned out that the thing in this pool was not a liquid, but a gas, as for what kind of gas Feng Heng didn't know, but as soon as he entered it, a biting cold air rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

This kind of cold is different from the kind of cold outside, it is a kind of cold that seems to come from the depths of the soul, and it is so cold that it makes people feel shocked.

"Don't shout, or quit immediately!" Suddenly a voice came in, and the surroundings immediately fell silent, and everyone could only endure the bitter cold, and no one dared to make a sound again.

Feng Heng looked around and found that the gas looked extremely rich from above, but it was a little thin inside, and his vision was only slightly blocked, and when he looked around, he found that many people were directly squatting on the ground with their knees crossed.

Now that everyone feels what is called a perseverance test, others don't say it, Feng Heng feels that his physical body is already very strong, and at this time it is also very uncomfortable, as if the whole person is in an ice cube.

The most terrible thing is that they can't use their vitality yet, so everyone can only rely on their own bodies to carry it, and after a while, they see that everyone is covered with a layer of ice crystals, and the exposed skin is frozen purple.

Feng Hengzi also gritted his teeth and insisted, but as time passed, he gradually discovered something unusual, his other identity is a magician, and as a magician, meditation and accumulation of magic power is the most basic and essential homework, but at this time, he just sat on the ground casually and found that his magic power was condensing at a speed several times the usual.

"It's .... Ice Elemental?!" Feng Heng was very surprised in his heart, with his extraordinary elemental perception, he naturally immediately felt that the surrounding area was filled with rich ice elementals, and he was shocked for a while, not knowing what this gas was.

Now it's an opportunity, although the person just now said that there is a device to detect the Yuan Force in this pool, but I don't know if I can detect the magic power, if not....
