Chapter Seventy-Four: Pressure
"Time flies so fast, I can't imagine that it will be over in the blink of an eye in less than a year. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć But you guys also surprised me, in a year, nearly 900 people reached the peak of the Linghou, which is much stronger than we were back then. In the sky, a slender middle-aged man in gray clothes standing in front looked down at the people on the plain, smiled, and suddenly said.
The people on the plain also became respectful because of his voice, because although the middle-aged man had a peaceful face and a smile, there was an invisible coercion in his voice, which made them have to treat him respectfully.
"Without the help of our Guining Sect, you have cultivated to the peak of the Linghou in one year, and it can be said that you are indeed extraordinary in talent and ability. It's just that we return to the Ning Sect and only choose the geniuses among the geniuses. Although you stood out among the 10,000 people, there were only a hundred people who could finally enter the inner gate of the Guining Sect and enjoy the rich cultivation resources of the sect. The middle-aged man paused, as if talking to himself, and continued.
"When the sect master founded the Guining Sect, he also went through many hardships. The reason why our Guining Sect can become stronger and stronger is because we have always adhered to the principle of 'disciples are in the essence and not in the many'. It is better to spread the vast resources among many people, rather than concentrate them and dedicate them to those who are extraordinarily gifted and capable. The middle-aged man's face slowly became serious, and his tone slowly revealed an indescribable deterrent power.
"As for the rules of this inner disciple selection competition, you should also have some understanding. Those who can withstand my pressure to stand for a cup of tea will have the opportunity to participate. Through the duel competition, the final 100 people who won were regarded as the true inner disciples of the Guining Sect. When the middle-aged man said this, the clothes on his body suddenly disappeared, and the majestic metallic spiritual power between heaven and earth also began to gather on him.
Ye Jintian and the others standing on the weeds only felt that an invisible pressure was slowly pressing down from the sky, and under this pressure, it seemed that the air flow was a little slow.
And the source of this pressure is the middle-aged man who just spoke in the air.
Obviously, this first test has already begun.
As time passed, Ye Jintian and the others only felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe, and the blood in their bodies was also flowing extremely slowly under this pressure, as if it would be static in the veins around them after a while.
Puff puff!
At this moment, the Twelve Peaks disciple who was originally standing on the plain overgrown with weeds suddenly fell to his knees.
Seeing the group of people who knelt down about four or five thousand, the middle-aged man shook his head and sighed, his deep eyes revealed a faint look of regret, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Swish!
The middle-aged man waved his hands in front of his chest, and an even more powerful pressure was released from him, sweeping towards Ye Jintian and everyone on the ground.
Ye Jintian and the others only felt as if the sky had collapsed and was covering them.
Under this huge pressure, which was like a tidal wave in the sky, nearly two thousand people finally fell to their knees, and this group of people cultivated under the late stage of Linghou.
Although Ye Jintian was a little uncomfortable under this pressure, his body had not reached the point where he couldn't support it because he had cultivated the Eight Xuan Refining Body Technique.
The invisible pressure, like the waves on the seaside, is turning wave after wave, and one wave is higher, and each wave is stronger than the other.
Under this tremendous pressure, seven or eight hundred people fell to their knees one after another.
Those who fell to their knees, although they were suppressed by an inexplicable force and could not get up, but that pressure was completely gone.
Although the physical discomfort disappeared, the discomfort in their hearts was only just beginning, because they knew that they hadn't even passed this first level, and the inner disciples of the Guining Sect were completely insulated from them.
The nearly 2,000 people who had not knelt down for a long time were also sweating profusely, and many of them were even drenched, although this pressure made them extremely uncomfortable, but judging from their expressions, they were all gritting their teeth and persevering.
Under the rich spirit crystal provided by Ye Jintian, Yang Yuxin and Su Tanian also made another breakthrough in just one month, and their cultivation reached the peak of Linghou, which was higher than Ye Jintian's three brothers.
Han Lian and Xiao Li also raised the cultivation of their two spirit seals to the late stage of Linghou in the last month.
Ye Jintian's five people have all cultivated the Eight Xuan Refining Body Technique, and now although their strength is not necessarily the strongest, under this pressure, relatively speaking, it is the most relaxed.
The five of them were under tremendous pressure, but there was no sign that they could not hold on.
The middle-aged man looked at the person who still hadn't knelt down under this huge pressure, and his eyes showed a little satisfaction.
At this moment, his eyes lit up, and a pressure several times more majestic than just now, like an earth-shattering wave, swept out of him, and suddenly landed on the people who were still standing.
"Poof~"
Under this sudden increase in pressure, not only did about 1,000 people fall to their knees, but hundreds of people even vomit blood and fall into a coma when they kneel.
Even Ye Jintian suddenly had a roar in his head, if he hadn't used the spiritual power in his body in time to offset this pressure, it was estimated that he would have been overwhelmed by this sudden pressure.
As for the rest of the people who did not fall to their knees, they also staggered and moved around several steps before they regained their footing.
Yang Yuxin and Su Tannian were almost about to fall to the ground, but fortunately, their cultivation and psychological quality are far from comparable to the original ones, and after using their spiritual power to offset some of the pressure, the two of them finally slowly regained their feet.
Han Lian and Xiao Li shook their heads, as if they were not greatly affected.
The sudden increase in pressure lasted for a few breaths before stopping, but for those who were still standing, it seemed like years had passed.
It was as if the time they had spent in the Twelve Peaks of the Guining Sect was not as long as the few short breaths just now.
That kind of pressure is something they have never endured before.
When the great pressure was gone, the people who were still standing less than two thousand felt that their bodies were light, as if a gust of wind could blow them into the sky.
They also knew that this was the sequelae of suddenly being freed from that kind of pressure, so everyone was quickly using their spiritual power to restore their bodies to a normal state, because they didn't know if the middle-aged man would suddenly have another huge pressure like before.
Although they were a little afraid of the pressure, they were also a little envious of that person's strength.
can force them to this point with the power of one person, with invisible pressure, how strong is that person's strength?
And according to his words, it seems that he also entered the inner gate of the Guining Sect from this kind of selection to have today's achievements, which made them look forward to the inner gate of the Guining Sect a little more.
"It's very good, there are still more than 1,000 people who have not fallen, which is indeed a few points stronger than we were back then. Haha, although the experience just made you a little uncomfortable, you can be considered to have completed the first test. Now, you are the ones who are truly qualified to compete for the one hundred places of the inner disciples of the Guining Sect. The middle-aged man waved his hand at the hundreds of people behind him, and a group of them slowly fell to the ground.
Hearing the news, the uncomfortable feeling caused by the pressure just now was swept away in their hearts, and in their place, there was an indescribable anticipation and excitement.
"The rest of the time is truly yours, and the only way you want to get to the inner gate is to keep defeating your opponents. Now there are more than 1,000 people who are qualified to duel, and the number of people who enter the inner gate is only 100. There are still twelve of them who are almost decided, so use all your means to fight for the belief that you want to be the strongest! When the middle-aged man said this, his face was also a little excited.
This scene is so similar to what he did back then.
Perhaps it has always been human nature to remember and be nostalgic for the past, no matter how strong or weak.
Guining Sect's use of pressure as the first test undoubtedly saved a lot of time.
Directly weeding out those with low cultivation and putting energy into those who really have the strength to compete will undoubtedly have twice the result with half the effort.
However, this kind of pressure can only distinguish people with a huge difference in strength, and some people who are close in strength can indeed rely on real battles to distinguish between strength and weakness.
Therefore, the second test of this Guining Sect is to ask them to fight a decisive battle and select the strongest hundred people through the battle.
Because Ye Jintian had kept the position of the peak master at the beginning, he and the other eleven peak masters now did not have to participate in this duel again.
Because the duel is all promoted by the strongest, it will inevitably cause unfairness to some people who are very strong but not the worst, so the final selection of the 100 people will have to accept the challenge of the remaining people who have not successfully advanced to the top 100.
Those who don't lose in the end are truly qualified to enter the inner door.
As for the losers, their qualification to enter the inner gate was naturally replaced by the victors.
And at that time, the twelve Ye Jintian, who were the peak masters, also had to accept this challenge.
It's just that this kind of challenge is not much of a threat to them, because they have experienced this kind of challenge before.
It's just that the kind of challenge that has expanded to all twelve peaks.
But that was also after the duel was completed, and the feng shui took turns, and now, they could finally easily watch the competition of others on the sidelines.
After the middle-aged man explained a few words, he handed over the details of the decisive battle to the hundreds of people behind him.
Those who are qualified for the decisive battle are only more than 1,000 people who did not kneel under the huge pressure, so this decisive battle will not last long.
What Ye Jintian is most worried about now is whether Han Lian and the four of them can successfully enter the top 100, after all, the gap in strength between the remaining 1,000 people is not very large.
Although the level of Han Lian and Xiao Li's spirit seals is not low, Yang Yuxin and Su Qiannian are not only daughters, but their spirit seals are only Xuan-level spirit seals.
Needless to say, the relationship between her and Xiao Li now, Ye Jintian naturally hopes that she can also successfully enter the inner door.
As for Yang Yuxin, although she and Han Lian are always bickering, the relationship between the two of them, although they are reluctant to admit it, Ye Jintian can see it clearly, and they have also become affectionate these days.
If one day they separated, what would be the impact on Han Lian, Ye Jintian could not imagine.
