Chapter 26: The Trial Begins

  When walking on the street, I felt that the flow of people was significantly less. Later, I learned that some people who failed the test had already left Kunshan City. Although a large part of the crowd stayed to watch the excitement, it would make the whole city of Kunshan much more relaxed.

  Walking into the Ruyi Inn with a relaxed smile, I saw the innkeeper's smiling face.

  "Hey, you're finally back! How was it? Did you pass?"

  Sai Sheng looked at the shopkeeper's comical smile and also smiled faintly.

  "It's fine, barely passing." After saying that, he left the innkeeper who was still in a daze and walked towards his room.

  Arriving at the room, Si Cheng quietly sat on the bed, recalling every scene of today's test.

  "What a close call, I almost failed today. That mirror is really strange, sigh... Never mind, I'll just rest well and get through tomorrow's test no matter what... (The memories of our youth) The surroundings gradually fell silent afterwards."

  The next morning, Si Cheng woke up early and had a quick breakfast before heading to the assessment location. Although there were fewer people than yesterday, the streets were still crowded because most of them went to watch the excitement. The Kunlun School's recruitment of disciples was a big deal, and being able to witness it with one's own eyes was an experience worth living for.

  Two hours later, after much difficulty, Si Cheng finally arrived at the location. At this time, he saw that on the huge platform, there were only a few people standing, it seemed that they had come a bit too early.

  "This brother, under the Wang's mountain, fortunately participated in the second round of assessment together, let's be friends." A rather short young man walked over and said to Si Cheng.

  "Haha, fortunate indeed! Fortunate indeed!" Xi Cheng responded with a smile. He looked around and then asked Wang Zhishan, "Brother Wang, why are there only so few people here now?"

  "Hehe, Brother Si, you don't know this, but those of us who came early are all without background information, so we didn't know the specific time and just came to wait as soon as it got light. Those who knew the specifics might still be on their way." (The Sky Price Imperial Daughter, The Fierce Concubine, Forensic Doctor) Wang Zhishan saw Si Cheng's puzzled expression and carefully explained.

  Then, Si Cheng looked into the distance and indeed there were many figures rushing towards this place. Apparently, these people who came rushing were like him, not knowing the specific time, and could only come early to wait.

  As these people arrived, the scene became a bit more lively. In the crowd, Si Cheng still saw that straightforward person who claimed to have grown up in Kunshan City yesterday. Moreover, the final test was still Tian Yu's root. Since this person grew up in Kunshan City, why didn't he know the time either?

  Xia Cheng walked towards the person with a hint of doubt.

  "This brother, under my jurisdiction, yesterday I heard you say that you grew up in Kunshan City, I don't know why I didn't hear the news, how did you arrive so early?"

  That person furrowed his brow after hearing Shi Cheng's question, but seeing Shi Cheng's sincere face, he immediately smiled and said: "Hehe! I grew up here, but my family is not wealthy. This outfit was bought by my mother using a lot of her savings for me to attend the assessment. So I don't know about the specific time, hehe!" He then awkwardly rubbed his head.

  "Oh, right, at Xia Lin Shuang, I'm glad to see you, brother." Chao Si Cheng nodded his hands and continued to smile at Si Cheng.

  "Oh!" Xia Cheng suddenly understood and responded with a slight bow of his head.

  No matter where, as long as there are people, there will be disputes. Those with strong power will become a class of people who are high above, while those with weak power will become the underclass of society. This is a common fact in any society, and Kunshan City is no exception.

  Lin Shuang should be one of the lower classes in Kunshan City. On the contrary, people from this kind of family can see more clearly the coldness and warmth of human relationships in this society, and Lin Shuang's bold personality should also have been influenced by this aspect.

  As more and more people arrived, the time for the test to begin was also getting closer. After an hour, all 1,308 young men who were going to take the assessment had arrived.

  At that moment, this platform was also much more spectacular than before, of course, it couldn't be compared with the overwhelming crowd yesterday.

  Those two roots of heaven still stood on the high platform, with Feng Yuxiang smiling all over his face, looking around with his eyes, and occasionally winking at Qin Fengxiang beside him. Qin Fengxiang, however, was standing there, expressionless, quietly standing there, oblivious to the commotion of the crowd around her, if it weren't for everyone knowing she was a living person, one would have thought she was a statue standing silently here.

  It wasn't until about ten minutes later that the four elders slowly arrived, standing on the high platform and looking down at the bustling crowd below. A majestic voice then slowly emerged.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, today is the second round of assessment, which is also the final round. As long as you pass this assessment, you can become a disciple of the Kunlun School. Now, I will explain the rules for this assessment."

  Lei Qingyun looked at the young man below the stage and slowly stated the assessment rules.

  The so-called second pass assessment is a comprehensive test of concentration, endurance, willpower and other abilities. From here, head west, there is a 100-mile passage, with three checkpoints on the passage. Only those who have passed all three checkpoints and returned to this place along the original route are considered to have passed the assessment. Of course, you must return before sunset today, otherwise it will be considered a failure.

  After learning the assessment rules, the young people below immediately became a mess. The assessment is simple to say, but it's not easy to do, and for some people, it's quite difficult. Just this back-and-forth 200-mile journey will make some people drink a pot, and there are still three passes. Suddenly, some young people were like deflated balloons, rolling their eyes.

  Xia Cheng clenched his fists tightly.

  "What's going on?"

  I'd like to see what these three passes are all about; a 200-mile round trip is nothing for me.

  Looking at the gloomy and speechless young men beside him, Si Cheng shook his head and smiled lightly.

  "There are many young people here who have been spoiled since childhood and have never suffered hardship, it seems that they are a bit of trouble."

  Looking at the young man below, the four elders also shook their heads and a loud shout suddenly rang out.

  "Quiet! Quiet! If you want to join the Kunlun School, you must show some real ability. The Kunlun School doesn't accept trash. Alright, everyone get ready, the assessment will begin in half a time unit."

  This loud shout was like a burst of thunder in the hearts of every young man, and then there was a moment of silence. Some young men even broke out in cold sweat, in short, now is the time to shoot the arrow, can't help but release it. If you quit now, not only will you not be able to enter the cultivation sect, but you will also become a laughing stock.

  Xia Cheng would eliminate all the depression and helplessness from the outside world, waiting calmly for the start of the assessment.

  Half a time unit passed in this tense and exciting environment, when the four great elders walked down from the stage, everyone knew that the assessment had begun.
