Chapter 15: Trials (1)

Hu Menglin was persuading, but suddenly heard a voice in the air:

"That's a good point! Our Gumu Sect selects disciples, not only for identity, not only for background, not only for strength, but only for potential! As long as you have passed the god general level in the thousand-year cultivation, you can sign up, and this condition is very low. However, our sect only selects 1,000 disciples every 100 years.

Below, I announce the entry conditions: the first level, climbing the sky, the top 5,000 selected. The second level, the ladder to heaven, the top 3,000 people were selected, and the third level, the enlightenment of heaven, the top 1,000 people were selected. There are no specific rules, but there are no rules!

As soon as the old man's voice in the sky fell, a long ancient vine suddenly appeared in front of everyone, swinging down from the clouds between the trees. Hu Menglin grabbed the rattan. Seeing that the scholar was still stunned, he hurriedly grabbed the long vine in front of him, and then reminded: "Climb up, don't care what other people look like, concentrate on climbing up, I'll protect you by the side!"

Hu Menglin is very confident, with his strength and understanding, it should not be a problem to pass the three levels, otherwise, the entry token of the Gumu Sect will never be given easily!

Sure enough, there were no rules, and as soon as he climbed a few hundred meters high, a monkey beast jumped over from another ancient vine, grinned at Meng Haoran, and stretched out his claws to pick at him.

Hu Menglin's short spear suddenly lit out, and a strong wind shot it down instantly. The scholar glanced at it gratefully, and flew and crawled, as fast as a spirit monkey.

Hu Menglin was not slow, and rushed up. As the vines get thicker and thicker, they crawl more and more slowly. After all, the thorns and deep edges on the vine make every step difficult.

Hu Menglin took a light breath, straightened his body half-up, stepped on the ancient vine with his two feet, and climbed with his hands like monkeys, as if he were walking on the ground. In the gap between running, Hu Menglin also looked at Meng Haoran on his side.

Obviously, Hu Menglin was not the first to think of such an approach. Tens of thousands of people all began to run wildly on the ancient vines thick with more than a dozen people. As we passed through the first clouds, the air suddenly became cold.

The people who participated in the selection basically practiced the wood exercises, and of course they were not suitable for the cold. Hu Menglin took a deep breath, and the power belonging to the fire system in the "Wood Transformation Technique" surged, and as soon as it fell, he involuntarily absorbed the life force from the ancient vine. He began to smile bitterly, and on every point he fell, there were four clear marks, all the way up, like a little plum blossom.

Suddenly, there was a hint of fishiness in the wind. Turning his head suddenly, a golden red python suddenly opened its mouth and bit him. Hu Menglin scurried upward, just in time to see Meng Haoran using a wooden ruler to meet another blue and red python.

Not far away, on another ancient vine, the golden-robed man was sneering. Hu Menglin was angry at that time, he threw his legs deep into the vine, and then pulled out a short spear, the two guns flew, and stabbed dozens of blood holes in the golden red python that chased him in front of him, and handed the right hand gun to the left hand, and with one arm, he grabbed the python corpse and threw it violently, smashing it directly into the golden-robed man.

The strength of the big man was close to Hu Menglin, and he used the long knife in his hand to cut down the python corpse and quickly climbed upward. Scholar Meng Haoran also solved the green and red python and quickly climbed upward. With the lesson just now, Hu Menglin paid close attention to the golden-robed man while maintaining a reasonable distance from Meng Haoran.

Soon, a huge platform appeared in front of him, and it was clear that the end of the first level was the end. By this time, the golden-robed man had significantly accelerated his degree. As soon as Hu Menglin's right hand loosened, the short spear burst out, drawing a wave of air in the air and rushing away.

At the same time, Hu Menglin's other hand was on the ancient vine where Meng Haoran was, and a huge force pushed in, and the ancient vine suddenly surged upward, "Rush!" Meng Haoran flew up with his strength, rushed to the middle of the crowd at once, and fell straight to the platform. Hu Menglin stomped his feet on the ancient vine where he was, and the whole person shot straight towards the platform like a cannonball. And on Hu Menglin's feet, the wood true qi actually burned. The whole person looks like a rocket, burning more and more, flying faster and faster.

There are many capable people in the crowd, and the abilities are frequent, everyone shows their own spells, each performs their own magical skills, and for a time the sky is full of patterns and colors.

When Meng Haoran landed, a voice sounded: Four thousand eight hundred and twenty-two!

And when Hu Menglin landed, it was exactly four thousand eight hundred and twenty-three!

Meng Haoran held his hand tightly, "Thank you, otherwise, I will have to go home in the first level!"

Hu Menglin waved his hand, "Recover your Yuan Force immediately, I'm afraid the second level will consume your physical strength!"

For a full hour, the first 5,000 people sat on the platform without saying a word, recovering their physical strength!

When he opened his eyes, Hu Menglin had completely reached his peak. He took out a small wine barrel, "Haoran, this is for you, look at the exercises you cultivate, the recovery of physical strength is too slow! This is the life force, enough for you to cultivate for a month! It's really not good, don't be afraid of wasting, I have this thing!"

Meng Haoran's face was still a little pale, hearing Hu Menglin say this, and seeing that everyone else had almost recovered, he gritted his teeth, opened the lid of the barrel and took a sip.

The pure Yuan Li immediately attracted the greedy eyes of the surroundings. A strong man in gray came over and said, "Change me for a bucket, any price!"

Hu Menglin stretched out his fingers, "A high-ranking main artifact!"

The strong man's face stiffened, "No, it's not sincere, can I use the lower main artifact?"

Hu Menglin saw that his physical strength was obviously a little unable to keep up, so he didn't bargain and threw him a bucket. The strong man was also refreshed, and threw a dagger.

Hu Menglin immediately threw it to Meng Haoran, "Give this thing to you, I don't need it!"

Meng Haoran didn't wait to say thank you again, but saw that a long-faced old woman had already appeared on the tall tree trunk, "The second level, climb the ladder." From here until the sect gate, there are a total of three hundred and sixty-five steps, divided into twenty-four sections, and the test is your physical strength and endurance! By this time tomorrow, the top three thousand will enter the next level!"

The ladder doesn't look wide, but when you actually go to the bottom, it is now big enough for tens of thousands of people to climb together. Hu Menglin was behind Meng Haoran, "Don't worry, these twenty-four paragraphs should correspond to the twenty-four solar terms, I just happened to teach you the Four Seasons Reincarnation Sword that you know, in case you lose the election, you can also go home and comprehend by yourself!"

As he spoke, Hu Menglin taught him the first paragraph of the "Sword of Spring". The two climbed on the one hand, and felt on the other, and even Hu Menglin told him his understanding directly. When they reached the ninetieth order, the two of them were the slowest! So, Hu Menglin taught him the remaining three swords, and then the two stopped talking and fought to catch up.

By the time he reached the one hundred and eightyth step, Meng Haoran was already soaked with sweat. He took out the barrel and took a few sips of it, and immediately refreshed himself and regained his spirits. As for Hu Menglin, he didn't mean to be tired at all.

By the time we reached the third hundredth order, it was already dark. At this time, the two of them appeared, and Meng Haoran's fellow disciples and brothers were almost all behind him! The golden-robed man had an unhappy face, staring at Hu Menglin viciously, eager to step forward and kill him directly!

Hu Menglin didn't look back, and climbed straight up. Meng Haoran wanted to say something, but he was unable to speak. He had no choice but to take out the barrel again and drink it before preparing to climb upward.

"Senior brother, take care of me, I can't do it anymore!" a junior sister begged. Meng Haoran slowed down, slowly turned around, and looking at everyone's pitiful appearance, he couldn't help but hand over the wine barrel.

After a few sips, the barrel did not return to his hands. The golden-robed man laughed, "Thank you, junior brother, you climbed the high branch, are you still missing this thing?" Senior Sister Ru Yin may have to drink it for a while, I'll hold it for her!"

The gentle junior sister's face changed, "Senior brother, how can you rob Senior Brother Meng's things, he is kind enough to help us!"

The face of the junior sister who begged Meng Haoran at the beginning suddenly changed, "Senior sister, what you said is not right, senior brother is good for you, and there is still half a bucket left here, we are all enough! If you don't appreciate it, we ...... it."

Before she could finish speaking, Meng Haoran had already turned around and chased after her quickly. He hadn't walked twenty steps, and his face was flushed again. However, Hu Menglin was already far ahead, and he was embarrassed to speak. While regaining his strength, he slowly moved forward.

In the crowd in front of him, many people also took out some wine, water, and precious fruits to replenish their physical strength, and even worse, let others carry themselves!

After ten more steps, there was a sudden condensation in the air, and the strong man who was carrying others on his back had a weak foot, and both of them fell down at the same time. Hu Menglin was already standing on the 365th step and looking at him with a smile!

"Meng Haoran, there are still fifty places, you can grasp the time yourself!" In fact, Hu Menglin saw him give up the wine barrel to his senior brothers and sisters early in the morning, but Hu Menglin did not stop him. It is precisely because of his benign and untamed humanity that Hu Menglin's heart is moved, otherwise with Hu Menglin's personality, he would have been snatched back a long time ago!

Meng Haoran wiped the sweat on his head, moved step by step, and walked one step at a time for a few minutes. Others, on the other hand, are getting slower. Those Yuan Li who drank into the stomach didn't seem to be their own, and they couldn't lift their strength at all!

Walking like a negative mountain, like the top of the sea, some of their shoulders trembled, some of their legs trembled, some of their sweat was like rain, in short, on these last dozens of steps, cultivators who gritted their teeth abounded!

More than 2,900 people who had already reached the end of the line began to watch the excitement! Some people were encouraging their fellow disciples, some were simply closing their eyes and watching, and the most hateful thing was that some people were humiliating others!

On Meng Haoran's side, except for the gentle Senior Sister Ru Yin, everyone else rushed in front of him! Even so, they were sweating profusely, as if they were going to fall down at any time!

Meng Haoran, persistence is victory, and victory is often in one's strong will. Think about Ru Yin, think about the future, grit your teeth and move forward! There are still twenty-four steps!"
