Chapter 44: The Trial Begins
"Hey, Senior Sister Zheng, why are you here. Zhou Hao smiled, and suddenly found that he hadn't put on a shirt after washing his body, and he was naked, so he couldn't help but be embarrassed, and hurriedly pulled over a shirt and put it on.
"I've seen it a long time ago. Zheng Shumei picked it off and said disdainfully.
"Ahem!" Zhou Hao coughed lightly twice and said embarrassedly: "Senior Sister Zheng, is there something wrong?"
Zheng Shumei said with a solemn expression: "This promotion trial is very dangerous, you still don't want to participate." ”
Zhou Hao said with a smile: "This news has been announced, how can you say that you will quit." ”
"Is face more important than life?!" Zheng Shumei scolded, her face full of worry.
Zhou Hao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Senior sister, are you worried about me?
Looking at Zhou Hao's ambiguous smile, Zheng Shumei looked panicked and said angrily: "Who would worry about you! I'm just warning you as a friend. ”
The more Zheng Shumei said this, the more ambiguous Zhou Hao's smile became, which made the former's delicate face red.
"Wang Xing'an will not let you go, if you participate, your life will definitely be in danger!
Zheng Shumei was full of solemnity, and her eyes were firmly fixed on Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao put away his smile and looked firm: "Senior sister, thank you for your kindness." But this time, I have to participate in the promotion trial!"
When Zheng Shumei heard this, she was a little annoyed and wanted to say something. I only heard Zhou Hao continue: "I know who is behind this trial. But don't worry, I'm already a little sure of the trial. I will definitely break through the difficulties and be promoted to the inner door!"
Zhou Hao clenched his hands into fists, his expression was proud, and his eyes showed incomparable confidence.
At this moment, Zhou Hao was extremely tall in Zheng Shumei's eyes, and she suddenly felt that her heart was calm.
Strange! Why am I nervous for him! Zheng Shumei was in a trance, her personality has always been cold, and she will not easily worry about a person.
"Be careful yourself!" Thinking of this, Zheng Shumei looked unnatural, and left with a sentence.
Zhou Hao scratched his head, not knowing why Zheng Shumei's expression was a little weird when she left. However, he didn't think much about it, and continued to understand the mystery of the first sentence of the Qinglian Sword Song, and strive to achieve perfection, which was his biggest hole card.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the promotion trial that everyone in the Qingshan Sect was looking forward to arrived.
This is the first time that the sect has made an exception, and it is a promotion trial that is specially opened for one person. From this point, it can be seen to what extent Zhou Hao's status in the heart of the sect has reached.
Now Zhou Hao has become the legend of the Qingshan Sect, the existence admired by the vast majority of disciples of the Outer Sect, and the idol of the miscellaneous disciples.
Zhou Hao's fame was very sudden, from just entering the outer sect to now, it has only been a few months, which makes people feel in a trance, from the first layer of the forging body to the present, beyond imagination. Many people guessed that Zhou Hao might have a special creation.
Behind the Qingshan Sect, there is a towering mountain, which is the mountain behind the sect, connecting the depths of the infinite mountain range behind.
This mountain peak is inserted into the sky, and it is very tall, much higher than the main peak of the sect. From a distance, you can see that on the top of the mountain, covered with a layer of snow, on the mountainside is an autumn maple forest, under the mountain is the sky of ancient trees, and at the foot of the mountain is full of spring, flowers and plants everywhere.
This mountain peak is like a view of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and it is indescribably beautiful.
At the foot of the mountain, there are now as many as a thousand people gathered, most of them are outer sect disciples dressed in gray clothes, they are waiting with great interest, nervous and expectant.
In front of them, there were more than a dozen inner disciples in blue clothes, all of whom either looked indifferent or had a proud look, and their temperament was extraordinary. Among them, there is only Lin Feng on the ninth layer of the forging body, there are four people on the eighth layer of the forging body, and the rest are all on the seventh layer of the forging body, except for a few people, almost all of them are headed by Lin Feng.
In addition, Wang Xing'an, Wu Chengen and other elders also appeared here.
There are only thirteen disciples in the entire Qingshan Sect, so it can be seen that the significance of the promotion trial to the sect definitely belongs to the top three, which represents the new power of the sect and the top power in the future.
"Feng Shao, that kid even dares you to fight back, I really don't know what to do. An inner disciple with a handsome face and a cultivator on the eighth layer of the forging body said complimently.
"Feng Shao is the first person in our Qingshan Sect, who dares to disobey, this kid is too rampant. Feng Shao, why don't I teach him a lesson!" Another inner disciple of the eighth layer of the forging body, with a face full of anger, pointed to the young man next to Wu Chengen in front of him and said.
That young man was Zhou Hao, the protagonist of this trial, he noticed the hostility here, but he didn't care much, he devoted his energy to dealing with the trial this time.
"It's just ants. Lin Feng's eyes fell on Zhou Hao, without any waves, even if there had been a battle before, but for him, this person was just a grain of sand in his life, floating away.
"There is a spiritual pool on the top of the mountain, wrapped in a layer of prohibition, as long as you rush to the top of the mountain within an hour and enter the spiritual pool, the trial will be considered successful. Wang Xingan squinted his eyes and said with a strange smile.
Zhou Hao's eyes froze, looking at the quiet peak, he could feel the murderous aura that existed inside, this trial would definitely not be so simple.
Sure enough, Grand Elder Wu Chengen said, "This mountain is specially used by the Qingshan Sect to provide trials for inner disciples. There are all kinds of fierce beasts and wild beasts in captivity on the mountain, and their strength is getting stronger and stronger from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Of course, the disciples who participate in the trial have a token, and when the token is urged at the critical moment, they can teleport people out. However, once the token is activated, it is equivalent to giving up the trial, so Zhou Hao, take advantage of it! If it really doesn't work, don't force it, you still have a chance next time. ”
"yes, there's still a chance next time! Haha! Wang Xingan also laughed, and the smile was very weird.
Zhou Hao didn't believe that Wang Xing'an would be so good to him, and vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"I see, Elder. Zhou Hao's face did not change and replied.
"This is a token that can be stimulated as long as it is infused with aura. Wang Xing'an handed over a token, which was purple and imprinted with strange patterns.
Zhou Hao took it and silently probed, this does have a teleportation rune, as long as the aura is activated, it can be opened. Zhou Hao was suspicious in his heart, and he always felt that he hadn't thought of it.
Under the auspices of Wu Chengen, the much-anticipated promotion trial began.
"Feng Shao, you say, can this kid pass the trial?" said an inner disciple with a frown.
Lin Feng closed his eyes and did not answer, if it weren't for the sect's regulations, all disciples must be present when the promotion trial is held, otherwise he would rather spend his time on cultivation.
"Of course it can't be, this trial can't be passed after thinking about it!" said one of them with a sneer.
"That's right, on this mountain, the wild beasts are vertical and horizontal, each of them is not lower than the strength of the sixth layer of the forging body, it is extremely fierce, and there are many rare xenospecies, even if we are on the right side, we have to be careful, not to mention this kid who doesn't know the height of the sky. ”
Many inner disciples are not optimistic about Zhou Hao, but they have all broken through step by step, and they know the horror of the trial. Among the thirteen people present, except for Lin Feng, the rest of them had broken through more than twice, and at most they knew that there were seven times, so it was conceivable that the difficulty of the trial.
The disciples of the outer sect were excited, as if they had seen themselves and were going through a trial. The disciples of the outer sect, led by Zhu Tianyang, shouted one after another, cheering for Zhou Hao.
Zheng Shumei stood in front of the crowd, a pair of beautiful eyes that had never left Zhou Hao, and her eyes were full of worry.
"Senior sister, don't worry, with Senior Brother Zhou's strength, you don't have to worry at all!" Zhu Tianyang said with a smile, respectful to Zheng Shumei.
Zheng Shumei ignored him, her expression was cold, and she stood in the crowd, like an iceberg snow lotus, making people dare not approach easily.
"Zhou Hao, this time you will definitely die, the treasure is mine!" Wang Xingan sneered, a wisp of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Wu Chengen was aware of this, and his brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't know the details, but he just guessed that Wang Xing'an and Zhou Hao should have some festivals.
"This kid is a good seedling!" Wu Chengen sighed, and his eyes also looked at the mountain peak.
Zhou Hao, who has attracted everyone's attention, has already walked into the foot of the mountain and stepped into the peak.
I felt myself penetrating the invisible prohibition and truly stepping into the land of trials.
At the foot of the mountain, flowers and plants are everywhere, competing for beauty, and there are many butterflies flying.
Before Zhou Hao could feel it, suddenly a buzzing sound came, looking for prestige, and between them, a fist-sized desolate beast shaped like a bee flew over and rushed towards Zhou Hao.
Blood Beemon!
Zhou Hao's face changed slightly, he cursed in his mouth, and hurriedly spread his legs and ran up the mountain.
This blood bee beast was covered in gold, only that sharp weapon was blood-red, and once it pierced into the cultivator's body, it would absorb spiritual energy and blood until it died. Its strength is only six layers of forging body, but the problem is that the blood bee beasts all appear in groups, and these dozens or hundreds of blood bee beasts are also very difficult to deal with.
"Damn, such a desolate beast appeared just after I came, it's too perverted!" Zhou Hao took out a talisman and swept it behind him, turning it into a spell to block the blood bee beast.
Many disciples outside the mountain peak exclaimed, they were all strangers to the Blood Bee Beast, it was a rare desolate beast, and it was extremely troublesome to the enemy.
"Why did such a powerful beast appear at the foot of the mountain at the beginning? The disciples of the outer sect were shocked one by one.
The inner disciples also stared, and there had never been such a situation in previous trials.
Smart people sensed that this trial was a little strange, Zheng Shumeiyu clenched her hands and looked nervously at Zhou Hao, who had escaped.
"Hahaha, this is just an appetizer, there are better ones waiting for you later!" Wang Xing'an laughed inwardly.
The expressions of everyone in the outside world were not clear to Zhou Hao, he spread his legs and ran quickly at this time.
Flying is forbidden during trials, so you can only rely on your legs.
When they rushed out of the foot of the mountain, the group of blood bee beasts stopped chasing after them, and it was obvious that each wild beast in this mountain peak had its own range of activity.
"Huh!"
Before he could take a break, there was movement in the jungle, followed by a fiery cheetah, with a pair of pupils showing golden light, which was very good.
"Fire Leopard!"
