Chapter Sixteen: Cruel Examination

  This caused those who were wary of each other and didn't dare to attack rashly to all take a deep breath, focus their minds, and be on guard. When the figure of a noble young man sitting in the center suddenly moved, the people who were on guard against each other simultaneously launched an attack.

  In an instant, the air burst with a loud crackling sound and a low-pitched pounding sound echoed throughout the square.

  The assessment is cruel! Although it's said that they try to avoid taking lives, no one will truly follow the rules, and Xiao Gu won't strictly enforce them either. After all, what Xiao Gu needs are powerful people who have been through a hundred battles, not those who can't even pass the first trial.

  Baixian'er's body trembled with fear as she sat beside Mantian, having never seen such a scene before. She tightly hugged Mantian's hand and didn't dare look around.

  Feeling the surrounding gaze, Mo Tian's eyes slightly condensed, but he didn't move. He felt that the wild man was also staring at him intently. After a moment of contemplation, Mo Tian looked at the wild man and said in a deep voice: "Brother, if you want to fight, wait until after the assessment. Fighting now will inevitably lead to injury!" Although Mo Tian's words carried a threatening tone, the wild man didn't get angry, but instead nodded slightly and closed his eyes, as if he had already calculated that fighting would indeed result in injury.

  Because he felt threatened by the barbarian sky.

  Everyone had witnessed the strength of the Wild Youth before, but that didn't mean they had seen the means of the Barbarian Heaven. Many people began to attack the Barbarian Heaven.

  Looking at the approaching crowd, Mantian patted Baixian'er's hand and bounced up, swiftly pouncing on one of them like a flash of lightning. With a powerful dragon-shaped slash, he sent the person who was charging in front flying ten zhang away. Mantian's attack caused those who were attacking to stop in their tracks, exchange glances, and then retreat continuously, not daring to approach again.

  The young savage opened his eyes the moment the barbarian moved, and after the barbarian knocked that person flying, the young savage's expression became slightly more serious. His eyes were filled with intense fighting spirit, his hands subtly moving, he almost couldn't help but launch an attack. But thinking of the barbarian's previous words, he could only forcibly suppress it, closing his eyes as if he feared that looking at the barbarian would make him unable to resist the urge to fight and take action.

  Without the protection of Man Tian, Bai Xian Er sat alone on the ground, staring at Man Tian, but unaware that as Man Tian clashed with the young man, someone was approaching her.

  Dozens of feet away, the barbarian's ears moved slightly, and he glanced at Bai Xian'er. When he saw the figure that had appeared behind her, his eyes widened, and he growled: "Bai Xian'er, be careful!!" His figure flashed, but it was already too late. Although dozens of feet were not far away, it still took a few breaths to cover the distance.

  Bai Xian'er heard Man Tian's voice and her expression froze! She had already heard the sound of breaking through the air, but she didn't know what to do.

  The figure that appeared behind Baixian'er simultaneously struck his double fists towards Baixian'er's head, if hit, it was hard to imagine what Baixian'er's head would become under the impact of these two fists!

  Just as the crisis was about to hit Bai Xian'er, the two fists that were about to strike her suddenly stopped. A tall and majestic figure appeared beside the young man who had launched a sneak attack. It was the wild youth who had been sitting cross-legged on one side. He grabbed the young man's neck with his left hand and pulled him back, causing his fist to hit empty air instead of Bai Xian'er.

  Witnessing this scene, Mo Tian's heart ignited with boundless rage. As the youth was lifted up, he had already arrived beside Bai Xian'er and directly punched his fist at the youth's chest!!!

  BOOM!!

  "Ga Ba!" The sound of bones shattering accompanied by a low, muffled thud exploded simultaneously as the savage's fist directly broke through this person's robust muscles and crashed into his chest. His back even revealed a ferocious-looking fist!!

  This punch directly knocked him out.

  He withdrew his right fist, gazing coldly at the youth who was already on the verge of death. His eyes flashed with a sharp glint as he scanned the surrounding area, looking at the young masters who had gathered to watch. Finally, his gaze fell upon the wild youth, and in a deep voice, he said, "Thank you!" After speaking, Mo Tian turned his head towards Bai Xian'er, who still looked pale, and only relaxed when he saw that she was unharmed. His eyes then shifted back to the youth, and with a clenched fist, he spoke in a deep voice, "I am Mo Tian! I will remember the kindness of your rescue, brother."

  "Remember, my name is Senya! You don't need to thank me, I don't want any obstacles before our fight." The young man named Senya said calmly after glancing at Mōten, and he returned to his original seat.

  Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she pondered for a moment before withdrawing her gaze. She then walked to Baixian'er's side, examined him briefly, scanned the surroundings with her eyes, and slowly sat down.

  Those who were still thinking of how to kill the barbarian sky all took a deep breath, dispelled the idea in their minds, and the barbarian sky's punch had thoroughly shocked them, not daring to make plans against the barbarian sky and Bai Xian'er again. On the other hand, the young master sitting in the center looked at the barbarian sky several times, but did not consider the barbarian sky as a worthy opponent, this kind of power was still not worth mentioning in their eyes, or rather, the power displayed by the barbarian sky was not qualified to be their opponent.

  Under the cruel competition, the number of disciples participating in the assessment rapidly decreased. Many people were forced to choose to withdraw from the assessment. Those who did not withdraw either added a corpse to the square or sat on the ground! The family members gathered outside the square left one after another, most of whom were from small tribes and brought their best men to participate in the assessment, hoping to become disciples of Xiaoguzong and lead their tribe to prosperity one day. However, reality is cruel, and becoming a disciple of Xiaoguzong is not that simple.

  Only a few young masters can survive, among them, most are sixth-grade barbarians, and there are only more than ten seventh-grade barbarians!

  "The first trial is over!" Along with a loud and resonant voice, those who were still fighting stopped their attacks and looked towards the Blood Emperor, who had somehow stood up at an unknown time.

  "Those who want to learn the art of alchemy, step aside!" The black-clad man said in a low voice, his facial features eerily sinister.

  Thirty-three pairs of disciples walked out from the crowd and stood on one side. Baixian'er reluctantly left Man Tian and joined the crowd.

  Only twenty-three people were selected for the alchemy. After no one else joined, a disciple wearing white clothes with an embroidered medicine cauldron on his chest led the twenty-three people into the city gate, presumably to participate in the second round of assessment for alchemy!

  "Those who wish to learn the art of forging, step forward!" The man in black continued.

  Upon hearing this, Man Tian fell into deep thought. Before he came, Man Gong had instructed him to join the Xiao Gu Sect as a blacksmith, and with his current strength, he would definitely be able to enter the Li Feng of the Xiao Gu Sect. From Xiong Hong, he learned that Li Feng was the core of the entire Xiao Gu Sect, and almost all of the high-ranking members were from Li Feng! And thinking about Chi Long being a disciple of Li Feng, Man Tian became even more hesitant.

  Forget it, since Mo Gong has allowed himself to enter Xiaoguzong as a craftsman, he must have his reasons. Moreover, as a strong craftsman, he might be able to learn how to devote his life to crafting a powerful artifact in Xiaoguzong! Mo Tian thought to himself, and immediately, he no longer hesitated and walked out.

  Up to now, forty-seven people have chosen forging!

  Seeing Mo Tian come out, Xiong Hong and Xiong Yue looked at each other in surprise from a distance. With their understanding of Mo Tian, they would have chosen Li Feng for sure, but unexpectedly, Mo Tian chose Forging instead!

  "Could it be that the Barbarian Heaven still has the art of forging?" The two brothers were puzzled.

  The young savage also looked up at the Barbarian Heaven, his eyes filled with confusion. As a seventh-rank barbarian warrior, he felt the powerful energy contained within the Barbarian Heaven's body. How could such power choose to be forged?

  A young man wearing white clothes with an iron hammer embroidered on his chest came to the front of Mo Tian and others, looked at everyone, and said calmly: "Follow me!", After finishing, he turned around and walked forward.

  Beyond the gate at the far end of the square, Man Tian heard the thick voice of the black-clad man: "You still have a chance to choose to withdraw from the assessment! Once the second trial begins, you will have no room for choice!"

  Those who knew what the next assessment was had a slight change in expression, only those few seventh-grade barbarians were calm and composed. Many people looked at the corpses around them, struggled to make a choice, and chose to quit the assessment! When no one was quitting, they heard the black-clothed man's words again: "Among you, only thirty people can become Xiaoguzong Lifen, War Peak disciples, the top ten who kill the most will become Lifen disciples, and the next twenty will become War Peak disciples!! Of course, those who are afraid of death can give up their rights and leave the arena."

  When the black-clad man spoke, the family members outside the square were all pale-faced, clenching their fists and staring at the square above. Those little ancient sect disciples had all participated before, but when they heard these words, they couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

  Heavens, he took a cold breath! Although he knew that the second assessment would be difficult, he didn't expect it to be so brutal. The thirty people who killed the most meant what? Among nearly three hundred and thirty people, only thirty could stay behind, and the rest either died or quit the assessment!

  If there is no absolute strength, the second re-examination will have only one dead end!!

  The barbaric sky cannot stay and watch, as the white-clothed man entered the forging assessment ground, he was very much looking forward to the second heavy assessment.
