"Fengping!" "In!"

"Yellow Lion Tiger!" "Here!"

"Yanluo!" "Here!"

The Venerable Xue Academy picked up the nameplate on the table and called out the names on it, and the person who was called walked out, retrieved his nameplate, and according to His Holiness's instructions, found the position in turn, and stood in a row.

"Listening to Xiaoyu, in the recent assessment of courage, the topic should be self, and he will set up a formation, communicate with his demons, and judge the results by getting rid of the time. Yeyang whispered to Ling Xue, who just nodded and didn't talk.

"Han Lingxue!" "Here!"

"Night Sun!" "In!"

Soon it was the turn of the two of them, hearing their names, they took back the nameplate and stood at the designated position, and handed over the nameplate at the same time, the time of calling was the same, and the position was also close, one left and one right, one zhang apart.

Ling Xue, who had been silent, took the lead in speaking: "Aren't you called Demon Night?"

"It's hard to tell who's with whom in my dreams, it's me at night and night at night!"

Ling Xue just looked at him quietly, and didn't say anything, he pursed his lips before saying, "I am a demon clan, and my surname is Ye, so I am called Demon Night." ”

"Oh. Ling Xue nodded in response, then turned her head and said no more.

"What a boring woman. Yeyang muttered secretly in his heart.

There was only one assessment every day, there were not many people, and it didn't take long to end, and more than 200 references, from the chaotic crowd, lined up in a boxy team, and many people who had already passed, stood under the high platform and watched.

The Venerable of the Academy took out the list text and unfolded it, put it on the high shelf in front of him, there were only two Xuanwen on it, and said loudly: "Today's assessment topic is courage!"

"What?"

"Isn't it ego?"

"Why did you change it again?"

Ling Xue's face was calm, Yeyang frowned, everyone around him was talking, Venerable coughed twice before he quieted down and continued: "Courage is not afraid of danger, not afraid of hardships, and putting anger out of the way, it is a great courage!"

"What is the specific content of the assessment?" After he finished speaking, someone in the front position asked.

"Jumping off a cliff!" replied the Venerable.

"Where to jump?" someone asked again.

"Jump wherever you want!" The Venerable One pointed to the top of the mountain and then to the bottom of the mountain: "You can climb to the top of the mountain and jump, or you can run to the bottom and jump, it's up to you!"

After speaking, the two teams next to them took out strips of fine cloth and handed them to the people who referred to them, so that they could tie them to their wrists.

Yeyang got the strip of cloth to observe first, but Ling Xue tied it directly to his hand, only to hear the Venerable of the Academy say: "I only said once, if you tie things up, don't listen to the greetings, and want to play tricks, you will be responsible for the consequences." ”

"The assessment is limited to three hours, you can jump from anywhere, a jump is also a jump, before the time, you have to come back here to gather, accept the results, and the assessment officially begins!"

"What! just three hours!"

"Jump down and come back!"

"It's more than three hours just to come up!"

The people who participated in the assessment did not hide their dissatisfaction, but no one paid attention to them, doing their own thing, and everyone shouted all kinds of dissatisfaction, but they walked fast one by one, for fear of delaying time.

Yeyang tied the cloth strips, and when he turned around, he saw Ling Xue heading towards the top of the mountain, and there were more than a dozen people who also wanted to climb the mountain, and most of the others chose to go down the mountain, and a few hesitated on the edge of the cliff.

The people who were about to jump down the mountain, when they saw the people going up the mountain, sneered one by one, and said sourly: "Although the results are good, how can life matter? Beware of falling down and falling to death and being disabled, no matter how good the results are, there is no use!"

Many people on the mountain showed hesitation, some people stopped and turned around, and some people were still unmoved, going their own way, Yeyang thought carefully for a moment, and also followed the team up the mountain, and continued to climb to the top of the mountain.

The cliff at the top of the mountain is also steep, and there are no resting boulders, so they can only find a wider rock to stop, and they have to beware of the raging wind pressure, so as not to be blown down, although they are all about to fall, but the nature is different......

The wings of the vitality could not bear the wind pressure at the heights, and the auxiliary effect was greatly reduced, so Yeyang simply put it away, grabbed the craggy rock, jumped up, and only advanced about fifty zhang in half an hour.

Only fifty zhang, he felt obvious consumption, fine sweat on his forehead, and the wind behind him made his spine faintly cold, and he continued to climb up, and after half an hour, he climbed more than forty zhang.

His physical energy was too exhausted, so he had to stop and rest, found a rock that could barely tiptoe, swallowed a blood recovery pill, and his body refined and absorbed it on its own, he clinged to the rock wall, facing the quiet sky.

Things under the mountain, only a blurry image remains, looking down at the body, there are only the same rock walls, the night sun's chest rumbles, obviously leaning against the stone wall, but I feel that my body is leaning forward, and my legs are faintly trembling and weak.

His heart was beating violently, and there was a strange attraction on the ground, prompting him to jump off the cliff and return to the embrace of the earth, and the desire to jump came from the bottom of his heart, and the more he looked down, the stronger this feeling became.

On the one hand, reason told him that he couldn't jump, and jumping down was to fall into a pulp, and on the other hand, he couldn't control the desire to jump.

He simply closed his eyes, quietly emptied his body and mind, adjusted his breathing, only the sound of whistling wind remained in his ears, and only when his body was almost recovered, did he carefully turn around and continue to climb up.

The whole mountain peak is only a thousand zhang, the camp is in the place of eight hundred zhang, and the remaining mountain peak is only two hundred zhang, but it seems that there is no way to reach the end, the night sun rested several times, calculating time and space.

The people on the top and the people on the bottom began to jump off the cliff one after another, even if they were fully prepared before jumping, when they fell, they couldn't help but scream, and the piercing sound was very penetrating, full of fear and panic.

Fear is contagious, the piercing scream, invisibly radiation, adds to the fear of other people, even the night sun is no exception, every time you hear a scream, your face is ugly, and the desire to jump becomes stronger and stronger.

Until he was completely numb, he finally climbed to the top of the mountain, "will be the top of the mountain, a glance at the mountains", "the sea is wide and the fish jumps, the sky is high and the birds fly", this is the first time he climbed to the top of the mountain, the first feeling, fear was slowly replaced by shock.

There was only one person on the top of the mountain, and she stood quietly on the edge of the cliff, without vitality wings, without regular body protection, without any breath revealed, just like an ordinary person, her toes were already hanging outside the cliff.

"Are you afraid?" she whispered, as if asking Yeyang, as if asking herself.

"I'm afraid. Yeyang nodded silently.

"What are you afraid of?" she asked again.

"Death!" Yeyang walked forward, with a smile on his face as he spoke, laughing at himself, "I'm so scared to death!"

"Then what are you afraid of?" she was still so calm.

Yeyang was stunned and stopped, not knowing how to answer.

Ling Xue didn't speak again, facing the breeze on the top of the mountain, she opened her arms, closed her eyes, her face was serene, the corners of her mouth rose, and in an instant, like a lotus flower blooming in the ice and snow, short and bewitching, and peerless.

She took a step towards the mountain, but did not step on anything, and fell off the cliff, like a blue lotus withering in the wind. Yeyang walked step by step, his eyes glazed, and muttered to himself: "What is fear?

Until he stepped on the air and fell off the cliff, the weightlessness of the rapid fall woke him up, he was afraid, trembling with fear, screaming heartbreakingly, shouting in his throat: "Night howl, help me-"

Somewhere down the mountain, Ye Xiao's ears trembled, he opened his eyes, jumped on his shoulders from Yunuo's arms, and looked up at the mountain with his head held high, Yuno raised his head in wonder, the sky was clear, and there was nothing.

On the high platform of the camp on the top of the mountain, the phalanx of more than 200 people was silent, and everyone who participated in the assessment sat cross-legged on the ground, their eyes closed, as if they were asleep, and the strips of cloth tied to their hands emitted a glowing light.

Someone kept waking up, the cloth became gray, and they opened their eyes, their eyes were full of fear and panic, and they looked at their surroundings in disbelief, and it took a long time to return to normal, and they sat on the ground trembling all over.

Yeyang woke up and opened his eyes, his eyes full of fear, and only when he saw his surroundings clearly did he quickly calm down, and his fear turned to palpitations, and he looked at the gray strip of cloth in his hand.

Raising his head, he happened to meet Ling Xue's gaze, with a sense of scrutiny, and when he saw that he had become sober, he withdrew his gaze, still without any emotion, Yeyang didn't care much, and sat silently pranayama.

After a while, the shadow on the sundial pointed to the time of the sundial, and the Venerable One, who was sitting at the table leisurely drinking tea, rang the bronze bell, and the rolling bell, the few people who had not woken up, woke up from the illusion one after another.

Hesitating, cowering, and not jumping off in the end, they saw the situation clearly, beat their chests one by one, showed expressions of regret and hatred, blamed themselves for their cowardice, and missed the opportunity in vain.

"You, you, you, and the two of you, go down the mountain!" The Venerable Venerable pointed out the few people who had just awakened, and from the people who had already awakened, he pointed out two and unceremoniously gave the order to expel the guests.

The person who woke up didn't feel anything, but the two who were pointed out were anxious, and one hurriedly said: "Why! We passed the assessment, why should we be eliminated!"

Another person shouted: "It's not fair, it's not fair! You are bending the law for personal gain! I'm going to report it!"

"Hehe, why? You two are so clever that one ties the stripe to the stone and throws it down, and the other ties it to the beast and throws it down, do you have to point it out?" the Venerable One sneered.

"What are you talking about? We don't know at all!

"When you touch your lips with empty white teeth, what you say is what you say?

"Okay, I want proof, take it for me!" The teams on both sides listened to the order, walked out of the two sages, and held down the two of them, and the two of them shouted in horror: "What are you doing here?

The two sages ignored them, took off the gray and black strip of cloth from their hands, let go of the two of them, and handed the strip of cloth to His Holiness, who took out a bronze mirror and lit the strip of cloth on the mirror, and an image slowly appeared in the bronze mirror.

What emerged was the behavior of the two, the two of them were immediately speechless, and the Venerable sneered: "Cheating in the assessment, denying it outright, the crime will be added to the first degree, and the ban will be for three months, you are so powerful, why don't you take the intelligence test!"

"I just didn't take the test to try my luck. One of them muttered in a low voice, and the Venerable of the Academy was angry, beckoning the Sage to drive several people down the mountain.
