C119 Drum Strike!
C119 Drum Strike!
These experts were all Celestial Energy Stage warriors!
The gazes of the geniuses became even more fervent. The stronger the strength of the people of Hongtian Academy was, the more powerful they would become. Their hearts were burning with desire to enter the Hongtian Academy. One day... They would also be able to reach such a realm, and travel proudly in the world. Overlooking the world.
In the middle of the venue, there was a tall platform that was several zhang tall. The experts of Hongtian Academy descended on the platform and looked down at the people below. And from everyone's perspective, they could also see the experts of Hongtian Academy.
"Everyone." Among the experts of Hongtian Academy, a middle-aged man took a step forward. This man had an ordinary appearance, but his entire body exuded an extraordinary aura. The sharp glint in his eyes was even sharper than before. It was merely a glance from him. It would cause one's heart to feel a chill.
"Today is the day of the recruitment examination in Hongtian Academy. I would like to thank all my friends for coming here. I am Loong Yi, and I am in charge of hosting this examination, thanks to the trust of the academy. I hope all my friends and students will cooperate with me. " Loong Yi cupped his hands together, and in an instant, all the people present stood up respectfully. They returned the salute to Loong Yi.
"Loong Yi actually came here personally?" Young Master Tianwang said in a low voice, causing Han Feng to reveal a puzzled expression. "What's the matter? Does this Loong Yi have any background?"
"Loong Yi is one of the Vice Presidents of Hongtian Academy. He was originally the Vice Presidents of Hongtian Academy and broke through to the Celestial Energy Stage at the age of 25. Now, he has become a super Peak of Celestial Energy Stage expert." Sun Tianwang explained.
Han Feng suddenly understood. Breaking through to the Celestial Energy Stage at the age of 25 was indeed a very strong talent. To a martial artist, condensing a Vital Energy and breaking through to the Genuine Martial Stage was a bottleneck. The Vital Energy transforming into an Earth Energy was another hurdle, and the Earth Energy breaking through to the Heavenly Origin Stage. It was an even harder hurdle. These three hurdles, but the first one had trapped countless warriors. To be able to break through to the Celestial Energy Stage at the age of 25, one had to admit that his talent was excellent.
Although he hadn't broken through to the Astral Martial Stage yet, Han Feng didn't believe that Loong Yi had spent all these years in vain. His comprehension of the martial will should be extremely deep.
Seeing the reaction of the crowd, Loong Yi smiled with satisfaction. He said loudly, "In this examination, our Hongtian Academy has a total of 360 students. The age limit is 18 years old. The examination is divided into three rounds, and it depends on each person's combat strength and talent."
After hearing Loong Yi's words, many people revealed dejected expressions. Wouldn't 360 be too little? There were more than ten thousand Spiritual Martial Stage Level Nine warriors present, which meant... Even if many of them had Spiritual Martial Stage Level Nine cultivation base, it would be very difficult for them to be selected.
Fortunately, Loong Yi had said that the final selection still needed to depend on each person's talent. This meant that as long as they tried their best to show off, even if their cultivation base was slightly lower, they would still have a chance.
"Next is the first round of examination, the war drum."
As soon as Loong Yi's voice faded, a rumbling sound was heard. Everyone's expression froze. Around the tall platform where Loong Yi was standing, over a hundred small tall platforms rose from the ground. And on the tall platform, there were war drums. It was as if they carried an ancient battle intent, causing people to feel a sense of killing intent.
As they looked at the hundred war drums, everyone felt their blood boiling.
Han Feng's eyes involuntarily focused when he saw the numerous war drums rumbling. These war drums carried a dense bloody aura. Clearly, they were war drums that had experienced fresh blood on the battlefield.
On the war drums, Han Feng could feel an intense Spiritual Energy fluctuation. When the Soul Power was released, he could sense that there were divine patterns flickering on the war drums. These war drums were all Ordinary Weapons that were infinitely close to the peak of spirit artifacts.
The Ordinary Weapon corresponded to Spiritual Martial Stage and low grade Genuine Martial Stage and peak grade Ordinary Weapon, and could unleash extremely powerful might.
"Is this a test of how to use an Ordinary Weapon?" Han Feng murmured, and then a smile appeared on his face. If it was a test of how to use the Ordinary Weapon, then it wouldn't be a problem for him.
Han Feng could even use a powerful spirit weapon like the Blood Devil Halberd freely, let alone a mere peak grade Ordinary Weapon.
Many of the god 's favoreds figures had joyful expressions on their faces. With their background and talent, they naturally didn't fear the Ordinary Weapon.
Loong Yi's dignified gaze swept across the crowd, and he said loudly, "There are a total of 108 war drums, so each round will have one hundred and eight people beating the drums. Each war drum has someone who will record your results. Those who pass will... Let's enter the next round."
As expected, everyone saw a Genuine Martial Stage warrior standing in front of each war drum. His eyes were cold and arrogant, and they were all quite young. Clearly, he was a Genuine Martial Stage student from the Hongtian Academy. They would help him complete the first round of the test.
Loong Yi continued, "As for the standard of passing the test, Spiritual Martial Stage Level Seven warriors will beat the drum seven times. Spiritual Martial Stage Level Eight, beat the drum eight times. Spiritual Martial Stage Level Nine, nine strikes of the drum. Of course, the more the better. Many eyes in the academy are looking at you. If your performance is outstanding, you might have the chance to be accepted as personal disciples by some elders. You will have a chance to avoid the examination."
Everyone felt as if they had seen the light of dawn, especially some Spiritual Martial Stage Level Seven warriors. They were not even 18 years old yet. If they were eliminated because of their cultivation base... He wouldn't be willing to accept it. If he could show his talent in the first round... If he was chosen by some powerful elders, then he would definitely have a great fortune.
They knew very well about the resources and reserves of the Hongtian Academy. The elders were at least Genuine Martial Stage Level Nine, and there were even many Astral Martial Stage old monsters among them. Such an opportunity could only be encountered by chance, but not by chance.
"The examination begins." Loong Yi spoke in a faint voice. In an instant, several figures flew out and landed in front of the war drum.
In less than a breath's time, a genius appeared in front of the 108 war drums. Among these people, there were the most Spiritual Martial Stage Level Seven warriors. They longed to show themselves and obtain great opportunities.
These people were all extraordinary geniuses in their respective towns. Their talent and potential were far greater than ordinary people. If they were unable to enter a higher realm because of the various resources such as the Martial Technique, it was obviously regrettable.
Loong Yi did not say anything else. The 108 geniuses looked at the war drum in front of them and their palms were slightly sweaty. Immediately, they revealed a determined expression. Since it was a war drum, they must have an indomitable fighting spirit. Otherwise, how could they win?
Dong!
No one knew who was the first to strike the drum. In an instant, the sound of the drum spread across the entire venue. The hearts of the crowd also shook violently, especially the people from the forces that the geniuses were from. They were extremely nervous, and their eyes were firmly fixed on the scene in front of them. They were looking forward to their success.
"This person only managed to hit him three times."
Everyone saw one of the geniuses, who was a Spiritual Martial Stage Level Eight. When he went onto the stage, he was full of energy and battle intent. However, when he really started beating the drum, he could only strike three times.
According to the rules that Loong Yi had mentioned earlier, only eight strikes from a Spiritual Martial Stage Level Eight could be counted as passing the test.
This man's expression was gloomy. He really wanted to strike again, but his momentum had already reached its limit.
The previous three strikes seemed to have used up all of his strength.
If he hadn't been standing in front of the war drum, he wouldn't have been able to imagine what kind of environment he would have been in.
"Just try your best." When the elders of the clan saw this person walk down, they didn't blame him, but rather comforted him.
"Trash." Wang Yuanfeng did not hide his ridicule. Instantly, the people of the family looked unhappy and looked at Wang Yuanfeng coldly. However, Wang Yuanfeng acted as if he did not care about them at all.
However, this man's family didn't cause any trouble for the Wang family. After all, the Wang family was very powerful, and they only had one Half-step Genuine Martial Stage patriarch.
The man quietly left the scene. He didn't seem to be noticed in the vast crowd of people. No one cared about their departure. Everyone's eyes were still fixed on the man in front of the war drum.
Crack!
The sound of bones breaking was heard. Everyone looked over and saw a Spiritual Martial Stage Level Seven warrior. He had already struck six times, but at this moment, he was exhausted. He forced himself to hit the drum again, but he was unable to make any sound. Instead, it caused his arm to break.
Following this, many geniuses came down one after another. None of them managed to make a full count, as they felt ashamed. They had failed the first round of the examination. Not long after, half of the geniuses came down from the stairs. Many among the remaining participants were hesitating too.
"It seems like every strike of the drum requires me to use my full strength." Han Feng and Sun Tianwang did not go up the stage directly because they wanted to observe the technique of the drum first.
"The first time you strike the war drum, you need to use all of your strength, and use the first time to trigger it. Only then can you continue to sound the drum. If the first time's strength is not enough, then it will continue to decline. And the third time would be exhausted." Han Feng said to Han Lei and Sun Tianwang who were standing beside him.
"Wang Hao, Spiritual Martial Stage Level Nine, strike nine times." Finally, one of them succeeded. The Genuine Martial Stage student who was responsible for recording his results said loudly. This person instantly gathered everyone's attention. Everyone looked at him with envy. With a proud expression, he slowly walked down the stage and returned to his family. He shared his joy with his family.
Following this, among the remaining people, a few of them successfully passed the first round of the trial and walked down the stage in satisfaction.
Before they went up the stage, they even thought of striking ten or twenty times to prove their talent. However, when they struck the drum with their fists, they realized how ridiculous their previous thoughts were.
When all 108 people had ended, the pupils of the crowd could not help but shrink slightly. Only eight people remained. This probability was less than ten percent.
According to this method of elimination, the number of people who passed the first round of assessment probably wouldn't exceed ten thousand.
"Again." Loong Yi said. Another hundred figures stood in front of the war drum. They clenched their fists and gathered their strength, preparing to launch an all-out attack.
"Look, the genius of Hai family, Hai Zhan, has also gone up." No one knew who said this, but they immediately noticed Hai Zhan amongst the hundred people. Immediately, many people revealed an interesting expression. Finally... Did a talented genius go up?
Although he had been defeated in a series of naval battles, since he was known as a super genius, his strength was definitely stronger than most of the people present!
There were only a few ordinary geniuses who had passed the trial. How many times could a super genius produce?
