"The next level is the endurance test, each person carries a weight of ten pounds, and climbs the steps to the top square of Cuizhu Peak. There is a time limit of two hours, and it will start in half an hour, so let's get ready. ”

Elder Wang looked at this group of tired children without the slightest pity.

Cuizhu Peak is more than 200 zhang high, the steps climb along the mountain wall, sometimes steep, sometimes soothing, according to legend, the whole mountain peak has a total of 100,000 steps.

In normal times, if these children want to go up, they need an hour.

Now it is not easy for them to carry ten pounds of weight and climb to the peak in two hours, which is not small.

Half an hour later, Elder Wang got up, looked at the children, and said without any expression: "Now start the second level, everyone takes their own heavy objects, whether it is carrying or hugging, as long as they can climb to the top of Cuizhu Peak, they will pass the level, start now." ”

More than a hundred children got up, picked up the weight, and began to climb.

At first, the children walked relatively quickly, and after half an hour, children sat on the steps and gasped for breath. Although Qin Fengming did not stop to rest, he was already a little tired, but he did not stop, and he still climbed unhurriedly.

When he was on the road, he saw Duan Meng and a few people, they didn't talk to each other, they just encouraged each other with their eyes.

Whenever Qin Fengming felt very tired, he stopped his body. As soon as he stopped, he felt a rapid flow of heat from his abdomen to his limbs, and then his whole body became comfortable.

Every now and then, he felt incredible, that warm current, so magical, he tried his best to control it, but no matter how hard he tried, that warm current did not change, completely out of his control.

In this way, Qin Fengming repeatedly passed over the many children who were resting on the steps. Seeing the eyes of those children looking at him, Qin Fengming felt a feeling that he had never felt before.

When Qin Fengming rested three times, he turned a corner and saw the peak.

At this time, a child on the summit was already sitting at the entrance of the peak, and saw that the child was looking at him with contempt. He was surprised.

Qin Fengming didn't speak, just walked past the kid and found a mountain rock to sit down. The kid looked at Qin Fengming coldly, and then turned his head to look at the steps up the mountain.

After a while, another child came up, leaned against a rock, and collapsed to the ground. With his eyes closed, his chest heaving and heaving, and his mouth panting.

Then another child came up one after another. It's all the same as the kid just now, looking at their appearance, they should have reached the limit of their physical strength.

Time passed little by little, and seeing that the scheduled time was about to come, at this time, only Duan Meng and Wei Boqiang were waiting for the peak of the few children who came in the same car with Qin Fengming. The others haven't even seen a shadow yet. At this time, there were only about 40 children on the peak. It seems that Zhang Li and the others can't come up.

Just two hours later, Hall Master Zhang and Elder Wang appeared silently in front of Qin Fengming and the others again.

"When the time comes, there are only forty-three people who have passed the level this time, even if you don't pass the third level, you can also become a foreign affairs disciple of Luoxia Valley. ”

When all the children heard this, they were all a little surprised, Qin Fengming didn't know what was going on with the foreign affairs disciple, for him, there was only one choice, and that was to become a real Luoxia Valley disciple. Others, not the slightest attraction to him.

"Now, you have a little rest, and after a while, you have to go to the third level of assessment. Compared with the first two levels, the third level has much lower physical requirements. ”

Elder Wang said expressionlessly to the children who were already very tired, and there was no joy in his voice.

Qin Fengming didn't know how to assess the third level, but after the inhuman assessment process of the first two levels, it wouldn't be easy to come to the third level. He looked at Duan Meng and the others, and the two of them were also at a loss.

Elder Wang saw that the forty or so children were almost resting before he stood up and said:

"The third level assesses courage, this assessment, relatively speaking, is a lot easier, you only need to pass a mountain road full of poisonous snakes. Pick a ripe vermilion fruit from a small fruit tree next to the mountain road and come back, and you will pass the test. ”

"However, I would like to warn you that those poisonous snakes may attack you, but they will not be life-threatening. If any of you are afraid, you can not take the test. Okay, come with me if you want to be assessed" After speaking, he glanced at the children and walked slowly towards the depths of Cuizhu Peak.

When the children heard this, their faces turned pale, and the children had a natural fear of snakes, and now they had to walk through a mountain road full of snakes, and they were poisonous snakes, and their fears were even more difficult to express.

After a long while, the first child to reach the summit stood up and followed Elder Wang. When the children saw that someone was taking the lead, one after another stood up and followed.

Qin Fengming, Duan Meng, and Wei Boqiang also stood up. The other children, encouraged by so many people, also stood up and followed.

Elder Wang looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, did not speak, and walked towards a path next to the square. The children followed him, all bowing their heads and saying nothing.

After walking for a while, he came to a densely wooded path, and Elder Wang pointed ahead: "You go into the woods in front of you one by one, pick a vermilion fruit, and come back here, even if you pass the test." ”

Qin Fengming looked forward intently, only to see a path stretching out into the woods ahead, in the woods, the trees and the road were crawling with long snakes of various colors, some of them coiled together, one with their heads held high, and their mouths were swallowing letters, making a 'hissing' sound.

He didn't know how so many snakes could get together and not attack each other.

When the children saw so many poisonous snakes, some of them trembled, and some of them were already crying. Some squatted on the ground, not daring to move a bit. One by one looked very helpless.

Elder Wang's face was expressionless, he just looked at everyone sternly, and his voice was lifeless:

"The time limit for one stick of incense, only within the time limit, picking the vermilion fruit, can be regarded as passing, you can start now. After speaking, he took out a stick of incense from his bosom and lit it with a paper medium. Inserted in the cracks of the stones.
