Chapter 86

"Are all the new recruits this weak this year?"

The young man in black, who was in charge of this assessment, sighed and shook his head.

However, he did not change the rules, because the Sword Sect never admitted useless individuals.

Even if this time they were only recruiting miscellaneous disciples, the standards were still very strict.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, at this moment, a massive wave of power erupted on the field.

A pair of young disciples finally managed to last a hundred moves, but they looked extremely disheveled.

"We made it!"

The two young men were overjoyed to the point of tears.

"Assessment passed."

The young man in black spoke indifferently.

One after another, several more pairs successfully passed the assessment.

"It's our turn."

Soon, Hong Ling spoke up.

Ye Feng nodded and walked into the assessment area with Hong Ling.

"Add five spirit crystals."

Suddenly, the young man in black, who was in charge of the assessment, spoke.

"What? Five spirit crystals? That means the steel puppet will have the cultivation of the Fifth Heaven of the Divine Martial Realm. How can we possibly resist it?"

Hong Ling was instantly filled with anger.

The faces of the surrounding crowd also changed.

A steel puppet at the Fifth Heaven of the Divine Martial Realm was too terrifying.

Not to mention a pair, even a group of five might not be able to resist it.

"Are they going to clear out the rest?"

Someone in the crowd whispered.

Many people looked towards the area where those who had passed the assessment were standing, and saw that there were already quite a few people there.

Clearly, the number of miscellaneous disciples the Sword Sect was recruiting this time was already sufficient.

There were still over a hundred young geniuses who had not yet taken the assessment, and the Sword Sect clearly did not want to recruit any more.

So the young man in black, who was in charge of the assessment, immediately increased the power of the steel puppet.

Clearly, he wanted to eliminate the remaining hundred people through this method.

"Unfair! This is too unfair to those of us who are at the back of the queue!"

Hong Ling's beautiful face was filled with anger.

But the outer sect elders of the Sword Sect paid no attention.

They were all high-ranking figures and would not care about the thoughts of a young person.

So at this moment, the young man in black coldly said, "This is the rule. If you don't have enough strength, you must follow the rules. As for whether it's fair or not, come talk to me when you are powerful enough to disregard the rules."

The words of the young man in black were very unpleasant to hear.

But everyone knew that the logic was correct and could not be refuted.

So at this moment, Hong Ling's beautiful face turned very ugly, but she did not say anything more.

"Let's go, let's give up. A steel puppet at the Fifth Heaven of the Divine Martial Realm, forget about us being at the Heavenly Martial Realm, even if we were at the Divine Martial Realm, we couldn't defeat it."

Hong Ling sighed, her expression somewhat desolate.

But at this moment, Ye Feng suddenly reached out and grabbed Hong Ling's wrist.

"What's wrong?" Hong Ling turned back, puzzled.

"I'll guarantee you pass the assessment."

Ye Feng spoke, a confident smile on his face.

Hong Ling suddenly realized that this was what she had said to Ye Feng before.

But now, Ye Feng was saying it to her.

This made Hong Ling feel a strange and wonderful sensation.

Hong Ling's eyes were serious, "Brother Ye, we can't deal with this steel puppet. Five spirit crystals mean the Fifth Heaven of the Divine Martial Realm, it's too powerful. The Sword Sect elder is clearly trying to clear out the next hundred people who haven't taken the assessment yet."

Ye Feng smiled slightly, "Don't worry, if I say it's possible, it will definitely be possible."

With that, Ye Feng pulled Hong Ling and walked directly to the assessment area.

"Princess Hong Ling, do you really believe the nonsense of this country bumpkin?"

"Hahaha, Princess Hong Ling, I think you're too foolish. You're just sending yourself to your death with this country bumpkin."

Several young geniuses from noble families who knew Hong Ling were all mocking her from a distance.

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, Ye Feng roared at the group.

"Buzz!"

A bone-chilling killing intent instantly spread from Ye Feng like an ocean, overwhelming the group.

"You..."

The group of noble family disciples were suddenly speechless.

One of the noble family disciples saw Ye Feng's cold eyes and felt as if they were filled with mountains of corpses and rivers of blood!

It was an incredibly terrifying gaze, filled with ancient killing intent and沧桑 (cang sang, meaning 'vicissitudes')!

"Thud, thud, thud!"

In that instant, several noble family disciples involuntarily took several steps back, frightened by just one look from Ye Feng.

"How can this be?"

"How can a young man younger than us have such great terror in his eyes?"

Several noble family disciples were all shaken.

But the next moment, they saw that many people were laughing at them.

Clearly, they were scared back several steps by just one look from Ye Feng, and many people thought they were very timid.

These noble family disciples' faces turned red with anger, but they did not dare to speak out.

Because that look Ye Feng gave them just now was truly too terrifying.

They even had the feeling that if they spoke out in anger at this moment,

that white-robed young man would kill them on the spot!

"It must have been an illusion. A country bumpkin from a small family can't possibly have such profound authority!"

These noble family disciples were unwilling to believe that they were scared.

They looked at each other and all laughed coldly, "We'll just watch how the steel puppet will brutally kill this country bumpkin, and how Princess Hong Ling, this foolish woman, actually dared to believe the arrogant words of that country bumpkin. Truly laughable!"

Ye Feng's eyes were now filled with a hint of coldness, staring at those noble family disciples, making them dare not speak. Only then did he pull Hong Ling into the assessment area.

At this moment, everyone was looking at Ye Feng with curious eyes.

Because Ye Feng was truly too calm and composed, giving the impression of great confidence.

But many people thought it was impossible.

Because the steel puppet now had five spirit crystals installed, each strike had the power of the Fifth Heaven of the Divine Martial Realm.

Moreover, the steel puppet was about five to six meters tall, looking like a war machine.

It would not feel fatigue, fear, or pain, and was far more terrifying than a real human at the Fifth Heaven of the Divine Martial Realm.

Even the young man in black, who was standing high on the platform, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.
