Seeing their different expressions, Zhan Chen smiled and said, "But you don't have to worry, the first level is to test your combat strength."

Except for the more than 5,000 people who were teleported out with broken waist cards and the 756 who accidentally died on the path of trial, the remaining 4,153 trial disciples are all here.

And the next thing you have to go through is to test your overall strength. There is no need to face a life-and-death crisis. ”

Hearing this, almost all the teenagers and girls breathed a sigh of relief.

Amazingly, except for those powerful silver-level, gold-level, and even perfect-level geniuses. Almost all of them were terrified on the way here, for fear that one would accidentally fall here!

Seeing that the second level was about to start, everyone was still a little scared.

Now, after knowing that the second level was not facing a life-and-death struggle, almost no matter whether it was the Fifth Heaven of the Refining Realm or the Seventh Heaven of the Refining Realm, Quandu took a step forward.

Obviously, everyone wants to take part in the second level of the trial. Even if it fails, it's worth a try!

Seeing this, Zhan Chen flashed a look of relief and said: "Very good, as a martial artist, the first thing you have is a strong heart for martial arts, followed by perseverance and willpower, and finally talent."

If you only have talent and lack the heart of martial arts, then you will never be able to climb the peak, and you can only waste your talent!

Fortunately, although you disciples are all selected from the small cities in the wilderness. But the heart of martial arts is often more enthusiastic than that of young people and girls in many big places. That being the case, I won't say much, the second level will start immediately!"

Zhan Chen looked at the two elders on the left and right, but when he saw that the two of them looked at each other, they all nodded in agreement, and pinched the trick with both hands.

The entire mountain top was lit up with runes, and almost in the shocked and stunned looks of everyone, a spiritual light enveloped all these people.

Then in a flash, he had already left the foot of the 100,000 barren mountains and entered the back mountain of the Tiandao Courtyard in the ancient city of Luoyang!

More than 4,100 trial disciples all gathered in a wide square.

There are many senior brothers and sisters from the previous sessions of the Tiandao Farewell Academy in Luoyang Ancient City, who stop here from time to time to watch the pictures of the new disciple assessment.

Directly in front of them, a stone staircase of nine hundred and ninety-nine steps rose from the ground and soared into the sky.

Although there is nothing special about this stone staircase, it exudes a quaint and rich atmosphere, and as soon as it appears, it brings endless pressure.

Even Chu Muchen seemed to feel the power of the desolation on the stone steps, and his heart trembled a little, and then returned to normal again.

"It seems that this assessment is really not simple, the Heavenly Dao Courtyard actually found this kind of barren stone! Just with the desolate aura emanating from it, this thing must have existed for at least 10,000 years, right?"

Chu Muchen groaned in his heart, he didn't expect that the second level assessment of the Heavenly Dao Courtyard would use such a thing as a barren stone.

"What is this?How do I feel a strong threat from above?!"

On the side, Shen Feiyan, who didn't know when he came over, had already collected the black phoenix and the colorful spider, and looked at Chu Muchen with curiosity on his face and said, "Indifferent man, do you know what this thing is?"

When these words fell, not only Gao Peng and Bai Ye around him looked at him, but also Beigong Qianxue, who was a little farther away.

Chu Muchen glanced at this girl before explaining: "This thing is called a barren stone, and it is a very rare stone.

Although this thing doesn't look special, it can infinitely absorb killing intent, battle intent, and so on. Transform it into your own breath and use it to sharpen your disciples!

The longer the barren stone exists, the stronger the killing intent and battle intent it absorbs, and the strongest can even practice the barren stone as their own weapon, and kill the strong enemy in seconds with the various martial arts wills contained in the barren stone alone. It's a rare thing!"

"So, this stone staircase is very powerful?"

Shen Feiyan couldn't help but be a little speechless, he didn't expect that there would be such a good thing in the Heavenly Dao Courtyard in the ancient city of Luoyang. That's a lot of fun.

Seeing that Chu Muchen made the origin of the barren stone clear, even Zhanchen and the other elders had a different color on their faces, obviously they didn't expect this young man to even recognize this kind of thing.

You know, don't say it's them, even the master of the courtyard only learned about the rarity of this kind of stone staircase after inquiring after going to the main sect.

But how did this kid know so young? Everyone was amazed!

"It's like the truth, you think you can fool us by talking about the lotus? ”

As he spoke, a young man from the Eight Heavens of the Refining Realm beside Huo Lie snorted coldly and strode away.

By now, there was almost no need for Elder Zhanchen to announce the rules, and they knew how to get through this level. It must have been up the 999th stone staircase.

Seeing Chu Muchen talking eloquently there, attracting the attention of many people, the young man was not willing to lag behind, sneered at Chu Muchen, and walked towards the first step of the ladder.

As soon as his right foot stepped on, he felt a powerful flood force suddenly attacking, and a wave of coercion burst out from it, suddenly invading the young man's mind.

Puff puff spurt a few mouthfuls of blood, almost like a meteor, and the boy was swept out and fell more than a dozen feet away.

Suddenly, let everyone change color!

No one thought that this first step alone would be so terrifying, that even a genius of the Eight Heavens of the Refining Realm would not be able to climb it?

Seeing that Shen Feiyan and Beigong Qianxue continued, Chu Muchen scolded the idiot just now before continuing: "If what I expected is right, this ninety-ninety-nine stone staircase is divided into three layers, each with three hundred and thirty steps, corresponding to the talent, willpower and heart of martial arts.

This first order to the third hundred and thirty-third order is the talent of the martial artist. Stepping into this level and exerting your strongest cultivation to compete with it will alleviate countless pressures. ”

"Yes, haha, I didn't expect you to be young and extraordinary. This ladder to the heavens is indeed divided into nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, and the first to the third hundred and thirty-third steps are to test the talent of martial artists.

It's just that if you say it like this, you're breaking the rules a bit. In this way, wouldn't there be more and more martial artists who could ascend to the high ranks?"

"Is that going to be the case?"

Chu Muchen smiled, and after finding out that this Zhanchen elder was testing himself, he said indifferently: "If you don't show your cultivation, as long as you get used to it on the steps, you can still move forward step by step."

But since the other courtyard wants to assess the talent of the disciples, of course, it wants to let these disciples display their greatest cultivation. ...... But if you want to get through, it's going to be hard!"
