Chapter 85

"Begin the assessment!"

After Ye Feng handed over his number plate, the examiner glanced at him, nodded, and said.

A 600-pound stone lock, a 1,000-pound stone lock, a 2,500-pound stone lock... In front of these stone locks, Ye Feng did not hesitate for a moment, and he went straight to the last 3,000-pound stone lock.

"Aim too high!"

When the examiner saw Ye Feng's actions, his brows furrowed slightly, and he muttered to himself.

At this moment, he had already marked Ye Feng with an X in his mind.

"Haha... Kid, that's not a 600-pound stone lock, did you take a wrong turn?"

But when Lin Kun saw Ye Feng actually go to the 3,000-pound stone lock, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

After all, he was one of the four young masters of Qing Shuang City, and his cultivation was absolutely top-notch among his peers. Even he couldn't lift a 2,000-pound stone lock. Now, an unknown little guy came to the 3,000-pound stone lock, wasn't this just asking for a laugh?

In fact, not only they, but many of the young men who came to take the assessment couldn't help but shake their heads.

However, among the people who came to take the assessment, a few had very gloomy expressions.

These people were the descendants of Li Family Village. They hated Ye Feng to death but didn't dare to show it.

They remembered the warning from their elders: 'No one can provoke Ye Feng, no one can provoke Niu Jiao Village!'

Niu Jiao Village actually had a True Martial Artist, which scared them to death. After those people returned from the Ye family, they were all in a state of fear, worried that the Ye family would come to their door. Even if they did come, they had no way to deal with it. The highest cultivation of their Li family was only at the ninth stage of Martial Artist, and a True Martial Artist was not someone they could provoke.

There was a qualitative difference between a True Martial Artist and a Martial Artist.

When Ye Chenshan was at the ninth stage of Martial Artist, no one took him seriously. But after he broke through to the True Martial Artist stage, the Zhang family immediately brought a large amount of gold, silver, and medicinal pills, and the head of the Zhang family had to find a mediator to resolve the previous incident with the Zhang family.

As for the people who died in the Zhang family, they died in vain. Zhang Chao was expelled from the Zhang family and left to fend for himself.

A person who had been crippled, left to fend for himself, especially someone like Zhang Chao who had offended many people, his fate could be easily imagined.

"Up!"

Ye Feng didn't pay attention to the reactions of others. He came to the 3,000-pound stone lock, lightly shouted, and the 3,000-pound stone lock rose in response.

...

Ye Feng lifted the stone lock high, and the scene fell silent.

Almost everyone's eyes were on Ye Feng.

"Boom..."

A moment later, the entire platform was in a state of turmoil, and the sect leaders who were originally sitting on the platform all looked at Ye Feng.

"This is probably not even his limit!"

"Didn't expect to see a good seedling, and now there's another one. At this age and strength, he's enough to join the inner sect, right? Old Zhang, Old Wang, I've set my eyes on this kid, you can't compete with us Xuan Tian Sect!"

"Hehe, not compete? We'd be fools not to compete!"

The sect leaders on the platform, seeing that Ye Feng's face showed no signs of strain, couldn't help but discuss among themselves.

After all, they absolutely couldn't reach such a level when they were young. Such a person was what every sect wanted.

Ye Feng put down the stone lock and walked to the examiner.

"Little brother, not bad. How old are you?"

The examiner looked at Ye Feng, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face as he asked.

"15"

"Haha, good, little brother. I am Mo Changkong, the outer sect manager of Yunhai Sect. How about joining our Yunhai Sect? Although you'll start as an outer sect disciple, with your talent, you'll quickly become an inner sect disciple. Moreover, I can apply for you to receive inner sect disciple treatment during your time as an outer sect disciple!"

After recording Ye Feng's information, the examiner stood up from the table and said with a smile.

Hearing the examiner's words, the young men below all showed envious expressions.

"Examiner, this is unfair..."

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the queue.

"Lin Ming?"

Hearing this voice, Ye Feng turned his head and saw Lin Ming in the adjacent queue, looking at him with a resentful expression.

"Unfair? Hmph! If you can lift a 3,000-pound stone lock, you can also enjoy this treatment. If you can't, get lost. Remember, in this world, the strong are respected..."

The examiner, hearing Lin Ming's words, showed a mocking expression on his face and didn't even look at Lin Ming as he spoke.

Hearing Mo Changkong's words, Lin Ming's breathing couldn't help but catch, wanting to say something but not daring to in front of the examiner.

"Get lost? Brother Mo, it seems I'm the one assessing this group. Do you want to assess two groups?"

After Mo Changkong's words, the examiner of Lin Ming's group spoke with a sarcastic tone.

"Lin Luo? Hmph, not interested!"

Hearing the examiner's voice, Mo Changkong's face turned somewhat ugly, and he coldly snorted as he sat down.

"Lin Luo?"

Hearing Mo Changkong's words, Ye Feng's eyes couldn't help but narrow. He didn't expect this person to be the genius who left Niu Jiao Village twelve years ago, Lin Ming's older brother.

"Late-stage Fourth Rank Martial Artist?"

A moment later, Ye Feng saw through Lin Luo's cultivation. At 27 or 28 years old, a late-stage Fourth Rank Martial Artist could be considered very good. Of course, Ye Feng didn't care. Even if he was a Fifth Rank Martial Artist, so what?

"Examiner, please allow me to consider it!"

Ye Feng naturally wouldn't agree to Mo Changkong's invitation.

First, these sects were no longer suitable for his cultivation. Moreover, joining a sect meant being bound. His goal was to reach the pinnacle of martial arts, and only by leaving here was there a possibility of achieving it.

Previously, he was more worried about his mother and younger brother, but now that his father was taking care of the family, he could pursue his path with peace of mind.

If it weren't for the fact that only during the assessment could one's physical attributes be measured, he wouldn't have participated in this Dragon Gate Leap.

Hearing Ye Feng's words, Mo Changkong nodded and said nothing more, but handed the number plate to Ye Feng to continue the subsequent assessment.

...

"Haha, not to mention a 3,000-pound stone lock, I bet Ye Feng could even lift a 6,000-pound stone lock!"

On the city gate tower, Huo Chi, seeing Ye Feng easily lift the 3,000-pound stone lock, smiled and said.

"Indeed! I still admire Ye Feng's archery skills. A sixth-stage ferocious beast was killed by his archery, tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes me feel sorry for that sixth-stage ferocious beast!"

"Yes!"

After Huo Chi's words, Bai Lingyu and the others also echoed.

Seeing Ye Feng's relaxed appearance, Guo Zhen Shan and the others naturally knew that Ye Feng was far more than this. Although only one item of the assessment was completed, and Ye Feng didn't show his full strength, they all believed in Ye Feng's strength.

However, it was precisely because they believed in Ye Feng's strength that they found it difficult to deal with.

Such a genius, who wouldn't want to recruit? But now, with four families here, and their strength being roughly equal, to recruit Ye Feng would likely lead to a competition.

After several hours, the first item of the assessment was finally completed.

Of the 30,000 young men who participated in the assessment, only 13,000 remained. This was just the first item of the assessment, and it was unknown how many more would be eliminated in the subsequent assessments.

"The second item of the assessment, potential! The assessment will continue according to the original groups!"

After the first item of the assessment was completed, on the platform, City Lord Li Kong stood up again and said.

City Lord Li Kong's voice was not loud, but everyone heard it clearly, as if Li Kong was speaking right in their ears.

"Didn't expect Li Kong's realm to have advanced further, he's probably not far from reaching the second stage of True Martial Artist!" On the city gate tower, Guo Zhen Shan and Huo Yao, hearing the clear voice, couldn't help but sigh.

After Li Kong's words, some strong martial artists came to the wooden boxes placed below the platform.

Ye Feng had noticed these wooden boxes long ago, but he didn't know what they were for, so he didn't pay attention to them.
