C67

When it was almost noon, Liu Meng returned to his residence with Gao Huai's support.

Last night, the few of them escaped westwards, and ran seven to eight kilometers away. Gao Huai and the others circled around, avoiding the enemies behind them, and arrived at the southern side of the mountain entrance.

There, Liu Meng found a secret place to heal his injuries while Gao Huai and the rest hunted Demonic Beast nearby.

After a night of fighting, they looked exhausted, especially Wang An and the other three. Their cultivation bases were not high enough, and they were all injured.

Lin Yue trained for the entire morning, he felt his body relax a little, and when he heard the noise outside, he walked out.

"Wash up properly. Don't let the wound get infected. It's best if you don't apply the Relaxation Powder. It's better to temper your will …" "Wang An, don't keep your arm hanging. As long as you reattach the bone, you can move it properly …"

Wang An gritted his teeth and raised his arm. He was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. However, after he moved his arm a few times, it became lighter and less painful.

"Eh, boss, you're really that amazing!?" Wang An exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Yue smiled slightly and said: "Before I came here, sometimes, when I overtrained, I would often break my arms and legs. When I get a lot of injuries, there are a lot of things that you understand."

When everyone heard Lin Yue say it out loud, Wang An and the rest's hearts were filled with shock.

Often losing an arm or a leg because of overtraining!?

Isn't this way too cruel!

But when they saw the current Lin Yue, their hearts were once again filled with strong respect!

To enter the Rare Devil Cave, pass through the three trials, kill Liu Jin, and become the protector of the Pill Master, all of these things were difficult for a new disciple to imagine.

The four people from yesterday were all Martial Masters, and two of them were even at the fifth stage of the Martial Master realm. Their strength was far above Liu Jin's, and now that their boss was standing right in front of them, it meant that the other two wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

This matter immediately showed just how powerful Lin Yue was. It could even be said that the boss was simply a demon.

"I also want to become a man like boss!" They all secretly made up their minds.

In the future, he would have to work even harder in his cultivation. In the vast and deep mountains, there was nothing to be afraid of from the appearance of Demonic Beast, and only when he had forced out his life's potential would he be able to break through his limits.

After having a powerful example, the desire to become stronger appeared in their hearts. The intense pain they felt previously was now gone.

"Boss, we need to go in and cultivate. Tonight, we will go back to the mountains to fight!" Gao Huai, Wang An and the rest looked serious as they said this.

"Mm, that's good. Actually, even if some of you fail the exam in the end, with this belief, you're already a strong warrior."

Gao Huai and the others nodded and returned to the house to heal their injuries.

Lin Yue slowly forged a set of Thunder Fist s in the courtyard. He did not use the Genuine Essence s, but only used the raw power of his flesh and blood.

The medicinal powder that Zheng Wan had applied on him didn't have any obvious effects. It wasn't until five days later did the light blue demonic mist in the wound on Lin Yue's back become lighter, and his recovery speed gradually sped up.

On the sixth day, Lin Yue went into the mountains to hunt Demonic Beast.

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed yet again, and only two short days remained before the entrance examination. Lin Yue had Liu Meng and the others cultivate well and recuperate from their injuries, and on the day before the competition, they arrived at a secondary hall of the Netherworld Sect.

This great hall was the place within the Netherworld Sect where the outer sect disciples gathered for their meetings or lectured. Usually, there would be three to five elders overseeing it, and they were responsible for the assessment of each year's new disciples.

Compared to the Nether Palace which the Master was in, this palace was relatively smaller and its position was on the border. Within the Netherworld Sect, it was usually referred to as the auxiliary hall or outer hall and it was considered a supplement to the Nether Palace.

When Lin Yue, Liu Meng and the rest reached the secondary hall, it was already crowded with over a hundred disciples. From the looks of it, they were all the disciples that needed to be evaluated.

"Silence!"

The moment Lin Yue and the rest entered the great hall, an imposing voice came from the depths of the hall. Three figures dressed in grey elder attire walked to the very front of the hall.

Behind the three elders, there were also more than ten young disciples. Each of them was extraordinarily handsome, and it was obvious that they were important figures within the sect.

Lin Yue looked over, and saw that on the bodies of the young disciples, they were looking at something, and suddenly frowned.

Liu Meng and the others also called out softly: "Lin Hsing, Chen Jian, the two of them are inside!"

At the very end of the group of disciples, shockingly, the ones that followed them that night, were Lin Hsing and Chen Jian, the two people who had intercepted them in the mountain range!

The two looked around the crowd, as though they were looking for something, very quickly, they focused on Lin Yue and the rest.

He narrowed his eyes, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.

"They don't dare to fight here, right?" Gao Huai asked in a low voice.

Liu Meng snorted, and said: "You think too highly of them, just these two brats, they are really expensive!"

The crowd quickly quieted down under the elder's order. A long-haired elder with a long donkey like face stepped forward, his dignified gaze sweeping past everyone and starting to speak.

"Since you have arrived at the Netherworld Sect, two months have already passed. The sect has given you enough time to cultivate, and tomorrow, will be the time for you to prove yourselves!"

"Now, I will briefly describe the rules of the examination." One of the disciples behind the elder handed over a piece of paper with the assessment rules written on it. The elder read it word for word.

Most of them were meaningless. For example, it was forbidden to fight with more than one person. One could only fight one-on-one and could not use weapons that were highly toxic.

Lin Yue summed it up for them and said that in this assessment, there would be a elimination system. The disciples would draw lots before the competition and go up on stage to compete. The victor would temporarily pass and the loser would lose his spot and directly leave the sect.

After the victor gets out of the competition, he still has to compete with the old disciple. If he can remain undefeated within 100 moves, then he will pass the examination. If he fails, then the quota will be cancelled.

This was to say that there were a total of two stages to the examination this time. As for the first, half of the candidates had to turn in their placings and the second, another portion had to be handed over.

"The elimination rate is so high!"

"It's too strict!"

"Why do you want to compete with the old disciple!? How could we possibly be their match!? "

After the Elder finished reading the rules, there was a loud sound from the audience, creating a wave of noise. Everyone looked at each other in dismay. They all felt extremely angry.

Every single one of them had come here because they had won the placings through the tokens. The clan backing their sect had paid a high price for their resources.

But now, they had only been here for two months, and half of them already faced the danger of being directly expelled from the sect. What was this!?

"Why, do you have an objection!?" When the elder saw that the area below had become chaotic, his expression immediately darkened as he spoke in a cold voice.

The moment the elder's expression changed, the disciples below felt a sense of majesty enveloping their entire body and could not help but shut their mouths.

However, among these people, most of them were youths between the ages of fifteen and twenty years old, who were of the hot-blooded age. Immediately, one of the disciples stood out and said loudly: "Elder, we have handed over a large amount of resources. Isn't it a bit too much for you to drive us away like this?"

The elder laughed coldly and mocked: "Huge amount of resources? "It's just two hundred thousand silver taels. While you've been in the sect for the past two months, we've been managing your food and food. Moreover, each of you has to choose one martial skill. This is not enough!"

"This …"

The faces of the disciples changed again. Two hundred thousand taels of silver, even if they could eat and drink for two months, it would be impossible for them to eat that much.

"Cough cough." Beside the donkey-faced elder, another elder with a bulging belly looked arrogantly at the crowd and said with a disdainful look in his eyes: "This is the rule of our sect. Those who do not accept it, you can leave now.

Soon after, someone placed two wooden boxes in front of the main hall. There was a gap on top of the boxes, just large enough for someone to reach their hands inside.

The crowd clamored for a while. Although they were angry, in the end, they were unable to resist. Very soon, people began to walk up one after another to draw lots.

Lin Yue also squeezed into the crowd and went over to draw a lot. After looking at it, he saw that there were 16 words written on the bamboo slip that was carved into a stick.

"Number sixteen, not bad." Lin Yue slightly nodded, and casually turned the bamboo lot over. Then, he saw a few words on his back: "The old disciple that needs to be challenged, Lin Hsing."

He signed it!
