Chapter 18 Charcoal in the Snow

Immediately afterwards, one after another among the candidates chose to withdraw voluntarily, after all, life is still more important than entry qualifications.

In a short time, more than half of the candidates in the pool have decreased, and ninety percent of them have withdrawn, and only a few people have opened the water-avoiding barrier and passed the test.

By this time, the water had overflowed over everyone's heads.

The eyes of the grandstand in the square stared at the remaining thirty candidates in the pool, whose bodies were completely submerged in the water.

"This year's perception test project in Kaiyang Palace is really difficult, and nearly sixty percent of it has been eliminated in just a while!"

"Yes, in the past, the number of people who passed the guò perception test was always around fifty percent, and this year may be the lowest acceptance rate in Kaiyang Palace over the years!"

"And the test project is still so dangerous, I don't know if anyone will lose their lives......"

In the north stand, a few ordinary farmers who lived nearby to watch the excitement were whispering.

Beside them, a man was clenching his fists, watching the movement in the pool intently.

He wore a hat and was wrapped in a wide black cloak that prevented anyone else from seeing his face.

At this time, Gao Yun, who was in the water, slowly opened his eyes.

While secretly urging the aura to run around his body, he observed the surrounding situation.

Suddenly, he saw the monk named Lonely Xuan standing beside him!

Silent Xuan was looking at him with a smile, a look of interest.

Gao Yun was startled and took a step back.

"Don't be nervous, I don't mean anything. ”

A voice suddenly sounded in Gao Yun's mind, and his tone was leisurely, like a spring breeze.

Gao Yun looked at Lonely Xuan and gradually calmed down.

"I see that the donor is gifted and extraordinary, and I am here to give you some advice. ”

Gao Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head when he heard this, thinking: I'm just a person in the dining room, how can I be extraordinary, are you sure I'm not mistaken?

Silent Xuan waved his hand and continued to say, "Don't be arrogant. Innate well-being is the number of reincarnation, there is a destiny, although you are down for a while, but life is long, as long as you stick to your heart, he will be able to achieve something in the future. ”

Gao Yun was moved at first, except for Liu Yue, it was the first time he met such a kind person, and he took the initiative to show goodwill. Maybe the monks are so kind-hearted and warm-hearted?

Then, he hesitated......

What is the heart?

This time he didn't answer, but looked around as if he was reminded.

Gao Yun suddenly remembered that it was still being tested.

He looked around and was surprised to see that there were less than ten people left in the pool.

And the huge incense candle in the air is only about 20% long.

Lonely Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, his hands folded, and a huge bubble of diameter suddenly appeared around him, completely isolating the pool water. The edges of the bubbles shimmer with an ever-changing sheen.

He smiled at Gao Yun with a slight sideways face, and slowly floated to the surface.

Gao Yun couldn't help but tremble in his heart: this person is really extraordinary. Then he closed his eyes and his lips moved.

In a few breaths, a dark blue bubble gradually formed, enveloping the high clouds in it.

However, compared to the Silent Xuan, the barrier is much smaller.

When the two of them surfaced with the enchantment one after another, the venue suddenly boiled.

Most of them are against the Silent Spirit.

A monk coming to participate in the trial is enough to attract attention, and making such a large water-resisting barrier is simply the rhythm of grabbing the headlines of the "Seven Star Daily"!

The ordinary people who had come to watch the trial finally saw the performance with their own eyes, and they all stood up and applauded, mixed with the sensual shouts of some young girls.

Immediately after that, when the high water came out of the water, there was a small exclamation.

These voices all come from the exclusive seats of Kaiyang Palace on the south side of the square.

"Gao Yun! It's actually Gao Yun!"

"He's even able to use the spirit trick!"

"I'm afraid this will be the most amazing thing in the palace this year!"

......

Gao Yan on the guest seat was dumbfounded.

Originally, he was waiting to see Gao Yun's down-and-out appearance of crawling out of the pool, why did it suddenly become like this?

How could that waste use the spirit formula?

Annoyed, he lifted up and kicked a small attendant beside him. The man immediately flipped over a few times and landed in the crowd of people in the front stands.

Gao Yun fell to the edge of the pool, withdrew the water barrier, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The third test is not mandatory, as long as you abstain from it, it is finally a pass.

Gao Yun's mind came up with Liu Yue's concerned look when he handed the scroll to him.

"I hope I can hear good news when I come back!"

Liu Yue, I'm finally going to embark on the path of cultivation!

At the end of the second round of perception tests, the number of testers immediately shrank by nearly seventy percent, leaving only one hundred and eighty-eight.

At this time, the examiner said aloud: "The second test of the trial meeting is over! Please come to me to get the badge and prepare for the third test immediately." ”

Gao Yunden was stunned.

What better than?

"Examiner, what's next?"

A little girl who passed the guò exam asked timidly.

"The next competition is called fire running. ”

"Running away?

The examiner finishes the cards one by one, takes out a rolled-up scroll, and throws it into the air.

The reels immediately dissolve into a circular runway around the center of the square.

The runway was about a man's width and shimmered dark red, with a terrible sizzling sound from time to time.

"This track is 100 zhang long, as long as you run three laps on it, you can pass guò, there is no time limit. However, please be careful, the track is covered with hot charcoal, and if any part of your body touches the outside of the track during the run, you will lose and you will not be eligible to continue participating in the trial. ”

After listening to the examiner's introduction, everyone was stunned, and some of them were so frightened that their bodies trembled slightly.

Gao Yun looked at the runway steadily, pondering.

The first person to go up and run, as soon as his right foot touched the track, he screamed miserably, and his body jumped straight up like an electric shock. After the two feet fell, they jumped up busily, and the whole person seemed to be dancing an exaggerated dance.

After a few steps, he rolled and fell off the runway, lying on the ground wailing. The soles of his feet were already flesh and blood, and white smoke was emitting from them, making it unbearable to look at them directly.

When the other subjects saw it, they were terrified and trembled slightly.

At the guest seat, Gao Yan looked at the miserable condition of the first tester, the corners of his mouth curled, revealing a smug smile.

Gao Yun, although I don't know that you took shit luck just now, but no matter how good your luck is, it will come to an end!

After a while, you will end up like him!

Gao Yan couldn't wait to see Gao Yun "dancing" on the hot coal.

Gao Yun was the fifth.

The four testers before him were eliminated without exception, and two of them simply abstained, and they didn't even have the courage to go up and try it.

Gao Yun stood in front of the runway, looked at the long journey with a little blood stains on it, and exhaled deeply.

As his mind moved, the aura in his body immediately sped up. As the aura concentrated on his feet, a light red film of aura gradually appeared on the surface of his feet.

Gao Yun clenched his teeth, his muscles tensed, and stepped onto the runway.

Although the aura film resisted the burning energy of a small amount of hot coal, Gao Yun still felt a sharp pain like a tear coming from the soles of his feet.

There's no time to think about the pain, and now that you're already on the runway, you have to run forward with all your might!

Gao Yunqiang endured the severe pain in his heart, and with a sharp force on the soles of his feet, he immediately jumped forward several meters.

With each foot, there will be a trace of flesh stuck to the hot ground, and there will be a trace of blood on the ground.

Every time you step on it, it is accompanied by a terrible sound of sizzling, and there is no perseverance beyond ordinary people, just hearing this sound makes you lose the courage to stand on it.

But Gao Yun didn't stop, didn't hesitate, in his eyes, a single pain seemed to be gone.

His eyes were straight ahead, and a voice in his heart was shouting.

Keep running! Don't look down! Don't stop!

There was silence in the stands.

Everyone's eyes were looking in one direction, at a man who was running non-stop.

Although his thin body looked inconspicuous, it seemed to be bursting with tremendous energy from his body, which moved everyone.

Gao Yun didn't know how long he had been running, beads of sweat were constantly dripping down his face, the aura in his body had long been exhausted, his feet seemed to be numb and he couldn't feel the pain, his body became heavier and heavier, and his steps gradually slowed down.

Seeing Gao Yun's slower and slower pace, the audience was a little nervous, and they didn't dare to come out.

It was as if it was not Gao Yun who was running on it, but himself.

There are only nearly 100 feet left until the end.

Gao Yun's footsteps gradually scattered, his body trembled, and he looked shaky!
