The coercion in the passage is a constant pressure, and no matter how many people enter the place, the coercion acts on everyone the same.

In fact, as long as this formation is changed, it can be multiplied with the number of people entering it, but after all, this is a preliminary refiner qualification selection, and there is no need to be so harsh.

Obviously, the people who set up this palace also thought of this. As his footsteps got closer and closer to the opposite exit, Qi Yuan's face became more and more ugly, his clothes were already soaked with sweat, and he needed to be out of breath with every step.

Zhang Hao has been silently paying attention to the young man next to him, so that he didn't notice it until the woman behind him chased closer.

Qi Yuan finally couldn't hold on, and knelt heavily on his knees in the passage, sweat falling like raindrops on his face.

"Can you still stand up?" Seeing this, Zhang Hao smiled, stopped and asked, he had never helped him resist that pressure from beginning to end.

Qi Yuan shook his head slightly, and just when Zhang Hao thought he was going to give up, the woman passed by, glanced at Qi Yuan's face, and then walked over by herself.

This kind of look carried a hint of contempt, and even a bit of mockery, which made Zhang Hao feel uncomfortable in his heart, and he sighed and said: "Qi Yuan, if you are looked down upon in this life, you should stand up now!"

When he said this, his tone was extremely calm, as if he intended to speak to the woman.

And Qi Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground, rattled his teeth in his mouth, and then shouted angrily, stood up from the ground, and walked forward with trembling legs.

It is only a dozen meters away from the passage, but this distance is like a mountain that is difficult to climb.

The woman who had surpassed them just now was also drenched with sweat at the moment, but her footsteps were much more stable than Qi Yuan's. Zhang Hao had observed her cultivation and found that she had reached the peak of the late stage of the Yudan, and she could enter the Yuan Infant Stage at any time.

When Qi Yuan couldn't resist the pressure on the ground and knelt down, the woman had already walked near the exit, looked back, and sneered: "Don't measure yourself!"

As soon as he heard this, Qi Yuan's originally delicate face suddenly became green, and he stood up again with a roar, moving towards the exit step by step.

From the clear eyes of the young man, Zhang Hao saw an unyielding look, which for a while reminded him of the qiē he experienced when he approached the origin of the spark step by step.

When he came back to his senses, Qi Yuan was already standing outside the exit, his body shook and he steadied down, turned around and smiled at him, "I'...... I'm out!"

After saying this, Qi Yuan fell headlong. Seeing this, Zhang Hao shook his head with a smile, after all, he was still a teenager, and the stubbornness just now was more for others to see.

Walking out of the passage, there was a large compound outside, and when they looked back, the place where they came out was only hidden in the mountain, and the kind of golden palace they had seen before was obviously buried in this mountain.

There were hundreds of people standing in the compound at this time, some of them were already starting to refine the fiery red rock, while many more were resting.

And Zhang Hao helped Qi Yuan up, took him to a corner, and began to look around.

At a glance, I found that there were two tall lintels behind the courtyard, and there was a group of people guarding the door, although it was night at this time, but those people still did not disperse, one by one looked anxiously waiting, and from time to time someone looked into the passage just now.

These people appear to be relatives or friends of those who participated in the qualification selection or something. Although Qi Yuan was tired enough, after all, he was young, and he quickly recovered, looking around curiously. When he found the flames used by those who refined the redstone, his eyes showed envy.

"You don't have a flame in your body to dare to come to participate in the Refiner Competition?" At this time, Zhang Hao also sat beside him casually and asked with a smile.

When Qi Yuan heard this, the envious expression on his face stiffened visibly for a moment, and then he sighed and said, "Actually, I just want to come and see, the flame that the refiner needs is not something that a person like me can find!"

As he spoke, the look on his face gradually darkened, and then he took out the red stone he had received from his bosom and fell silent.

"Aren't you from Zhongzhou?" Seeing this, Zhang Hao had some doubts on his face, the young man in front of him did not have anything valuable, not even a low-level ring.

"Not everyone in Zhongzhou is rich, and it's not uncommon for people like me to be seen!" Qi Yuan turned his head to look at him, as if he had suddenly figured out something, smiled and put the red stone into his arms, and said: "I'm very surprised to be here, and it's a bit extravagant to think about anything, no matter what, I have to thank you today!"

At this time, the woman had already walked up to the high platform in the backyard, which was actually about a foot higher than the rest of the place, probably so that the people below could see clearly.

When she walked up to the high platform, she chose a corner by herself, sat down, took out a cyan furnace from the ring, threw the redstone into it, and began to refine it.

Seeing this, although Qi Yuan had a look of envy on his face, he didn't show it too much this time, stood up and smiled at Zhang Hao, and said, "I'll go out and wait for you outside, after the assessment, let's go find a place to drink, although I can't invite you to a luxurious place, but I can still get the money for a meal!"

With that, he smiled and walked towards the high lintel behind him. During the period, he was stopped, Qi Yuan handed over the red stone to the person who blocked it, and waved his hand to Zhang Hao and walked out.

And some people in the compound, when they saw that scene, showed surprised eyes, obviously not expecting that someone would take the initiative to give up.

Zhang Hao saw that there was still a place on the high platform, so he walked up, took out the red stone, grabbed it in his hand and shook it, and didn't see what he did again, so he turned around and walked towards the other side of the high platform.

Seeing this, the woman who was using the furnace to refine redstone frowned slightly, and sneered: "I finally came here, but I gave up like this, I am sick!"

Zhang Hao didn't seem to hear what she said, walked to the door near the person in charge of registration, spread his hand, and saw that the red stone in his hand had turned into a softened ink color at this moment.

Seeing this scene, the woman's frowning brows suddenly twisted together.

The person in charge of registration accepted the ink-colored thing in Zhang Hao's hand, and wrote down the word "Wudao" in the notebook, and then picked up a jade carved sign from the table and was about to hand it to him, when the woman on the high platform suddenly shouted: "Wait!"

This voice was extremely abrupt, and everyone was attracted to it, only to see the woman slowly stand up, her eyes staring at Zhang Hao, and sneered: "It's a shame that we are still here to participate in the qualification selection, it turns out that they have already decided some people!"

As soon as these words came out, the people sitting on the high platform immediately turned their eyes to the person in charge of recording.

For a while, the atmosphere in the compound became a little strange. Several of the guards who were in charge of guarding the gate suddenly glared angrily at the woman on the high platform, and two of them had already opened their mouths and shouted angrily: "Nonsense, what evidence do you have that we have a candidate?"

"Heh, the evidence? is the evidence?" Seeing this, the woman suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed at Zhang Hao, and sneered: "This person obviously didn't refine the red stone just now, but you let him pass it, what is this not evidence?"

As soon as he saw that the spearhead was actually pointed at him, Zhang Hao's face sank, raised his eyes to look at her, and said, "How do you know that I didn't refine the red stone?"

And those people on the high platform also showed puzzled expressions, obviously a little confused about the facts.

In fact, this kind of selection method, the organizer also knows that there will be people cheating, it is better to say that kind of red stone, someone can prepare a piece of refining in advance, and then arrive here to quietly steal the beams and change the pillars.

This kind of thing is not uncommon, so the person in charge of recording didn't say much when he saw Zhang Hao take out the refined red stone, after all, being able to come here already means that he has the qualifications to participate in the competition.

As for those cheaters, they will pass with a blind eye, and they will all be eliminated in the end anyway.

I didn't expect someone to point it out today, which made the person in charge of registration a little unbearable, and stood up with a sneer: "Little girl, although the old man is not young, he has not yet reached the time when his old eyes are dizzy, you said that he did not refine the red stone, but he saw it with his own eyes?"

"Naturally, I've seen it, otherwise why would I do this?" Seeing this, the woman snorted coldly, and told Zhang Hao about the story of Zhang Hao walking on the high platform just now, and then walking down without making any stops, and then pointed at him and said, "What is this not cheating?"

As soon as he heard this, the face of the old man in charge of registration sank, and then he sneered: "Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean that he hasn't refined the red stone, it's not that the old man is talking badly, just your cultivation, you can't see what he is doing under your nose." There are people outside the mountains, little girl, you should have heard of this sentence!"

"Forget it, since he didn't see it clearly, I'm refining a piece!" Zhang Hao felt irritated when he saw that the two of them were arguing, and waved his hand.

Hearing this, the old man in charge of registration looked at him, his eyes were a little weird, and he probably said in his heart that my old man defended you, and it didn't matter if you didn't appreciate it, there was no need to hit the muzzle of the gun again, right?

However, the woman on the high platform sneered: "Okay, as long as you can refine this piece of red stone in front of all of us, I will personally apologize to you, if not......"

"No need!" Before she could finish speaking, Zhang Hao's figure flashed, returned to the high platform, reached out and took the red stone from his palm, spread his palm for her to see clearly, and slowly clenched his fingers.

The moment Zhang Hao's palm was clenched, the surface of the red stone in his hand suddenly melted, and then it turned inky in the woman's shocked eyes.

Seeing this scene, there was a sudden gasping sound on the high platform, and even the old man in charge of registration changed his face slightly.

When Zhang Hao spread his palm again, the red stone had completely turned into a softened ink-colored stone, and a compelling heat emanated from it: "Can you see clearly this time?"

It was only at this moment that the woman reacted, her face suddenly turned pale, and she knew that she had been a little reckless just now, and she had offended a person whose cultivation was far above herself, so she hurriedly bent down lightly and saluted, wanting to apologize.

But before she could say the words of apology, Zhang Hao disappeared suddenly, and the next moment, he had already appeared near the old man in charge of registration.

There was a burst of whispering on the high platform, most of them were guessing Zhang Hao's identity and the real age hidden under the mask, but the woman didn't have the look she had just now.

The old man in charge of registration did not hand over the jade plate on the table to Zhang Hao, but took out a blue crystal plate from the ring, handed it to him, and said with a smile: "It was old and clumsy just now, hehe, that kind of ordinary jade card is only worn by people who are selected for the first time, with the cultivation of the little brother, there is no need to participate in other selections, and the day after tomorrow can go directly to the Flying Dragon City martial arts field to participate in the competition!"

Zhang Hao stretched out his hand to take the blue crystal brand, looked at it, and saw that there was nothing special, so he nodded and walked out.

And the guards at the back door also hurriedly got out of the way, looking extremely respectful. This is the benefit of having transcendent strength, your strength is different, and the treatment will change accordingly, no matter where it is, it is so realistic.

Qi Yuan was really waiting outside, and when he saw him come out, he walked forward with a smile, and the two of them squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards the end of the street.

But after walking a few steps, I met Xiyue who led Xiaoyi to come......
