Chapter 2029: Chapter 2029 As He Please
Right after Ye Liuyun got ready, the gravity within the room started to intensify.
He was still assessing which level of gravity he had used during his previous training.
When Mao Hongyin adjusted the gravity to the fifth level, seeing Ye Liuyun still sitting upright brought him joy.
"What a promising lad! Even his physical strength is impressive!" Disciples who could withstand this level were usually those who would participate in the sacred disciple selection.
Those disciples who had been training in Northsky Sect from a young age couldn’t be compared to Ye Liuyun, who had experienced countless battles outside over the years.
It wasn’t until Mao Hongyin ramped up the gravity to the sixth level that Ye Liuyun began to feel strained. The intense gravity pressing on him made even maintaining his straight posture difficult.
"What an entrance test. Such intense gravity isn’t even up to standard!" Ye Liuyun still marvelled inwardly.
He considered his physical strength to be strong among the five or six stages of cultivation. If even he felt strained, the average martial artist must have already reached their limit.
Ye Liuyun was right, even the first sacred disciple Murong Tian couldn’t handle the pressure as comfortably as him under the same level.
Mao Hongyin, with joy in his heart, continued to increase the gravity, dialling it up to level seven. It was the moment it reached level seven that Murong Tian could not bear it and fell onto the ground.
But all Ye Liuyun did was slightly lower his head and bend his waist a little; he did not surrender to the pressure.
Suppressing his excitement, Mao Hongyin did not stop but continued to raise the level of gravity.
At this moment, Ye Liuyun could no longer afford to contemplate the test, he was focusing on holding against the force with all his might.
By the final stage of level seven, Ye Liuyun’s body began to tremble slightly.
"Is my body getting weaker from the lack of practice? Or are their standards too high?"
Mao Hongyin never told him he passed, which made Ye Liuyun puzzled.
Mao Hongyin simply ramped up the gravity another level higher.
Ye Liuyun’s waist was instantly pushed down. He swiftly used both hands to prop up, preventing him from falling face down.
"Hang in there! If I can’t even pass the test, it’ll be a huge disgrace!" Ye Liuyun clenched his teeth as he endured.
Mao Hongyin didn’t dare to amplify the gravity any further, he feared it would cause Ye Liuyun harm. But he wanted to observe Ye Liuyun’s reaction, his determination. Hence, he decided to maintain the same gravity for now.
Ye Liuyun also noticed that the gravity wasn’t increasing.
"Are they testing how long I can hold on?" He dared not relax, and continued to keep pushing through.
It took a quarter of an hour before Mao Hongyin was satisfied and adjusted the gravity back to normal.
Ye Liuyun felt like a weight removed, straightened his waist, and started moving around.
"If one can resist such pressure, they’re going to be a hard opponent for a seventh-tier expert. Able to move around at level five gravity, how did he train such a body!"
Mao Hongyin was amazed in his heart.
But he couldn’t show it, afraid that Ye Liuyun would see through him and not try as hard in the future.
Hiding his excitement made his face turn red.
After the gravity was adjusted back to normal, he quickly pulled away, released his emotions and laughed a few times, and then came back to find Ye Liuyun.
"Good, good, performed better than the average disciple! This level is considered passed!” Mao Hongyin came back and told Ye Liuyun.
Upon hearing these words, Ye Liuyun also felt awkward. "These disciples are so powerful, they are indeed formidable rivals in the future!"
If it wasn’t because he was unfamiliar with this place, he would have immediately wanted to mark Mao Hongyin with a Slaving Seal.
But he figured there was no rush. These academy elders and disciples usually don’t have the habit of wearing defensive jewelleries, so he will have plenty of opportunities in the future.
Seeing Ye Liuyun’s expression a bit gloomy, Mao Hongyin chuckled secretly.
"Could be a good thing to strike him down a bit, it might motivate his future cultivation!"
"The third test involves a real combat with foreign races of the same realm."
"Fighting with the foreign race? They’re here?" Ye Liuyun was quite surprised at the prospect of fighting with these creatures.
"No, not the actual foreign race, but those formed by spiritual energy! Their strength is not fake, though! Try your best to endure and see how many of them you can kill!" Mao Hongyin advised.
"Oh!" This relieved Ye Liuyun, making him less worried.
Since they were made of genuine energy, there was nothing else for him to be afraid of. He could simply use Elemental Spirit Secret Skill to wipe them all out.
Mao Hongyin then led Ye Liuyun to a special grand hall, pointing to a stone outside and explained, "After the doors are closed, the creatures will start to form. The stone outside will display the number of creatures you’ve killed.
Aim to kill as many as possible. The spiritual energy there is extremely pure. For every creature you kill, that energy will be replenished to you!"
Just as Ye Liuyun was about to ask if he could absorb the energy inside, he was pleased to hear Mao Hongyin’s statement and naturally agreed to kill as many creatures as possible.
Mao Hongyin gave Ye Liuyun a token, "Your time inside is unlimited. When you can’t fight anymore, press this token and the creatures will disappear, the doors will automatically open.
Don’t push yourself too hard, don’t risk your own life in there. No one will come in to save you!"
You won’t have access to any of the spatial powers, so you can only hang this around your neck or hold it in your hand. You’ll also need to take out everything you need before you enter."
After the gravity test had finished, Ye Liuyun put on the Gilded Armour once again, while Mao Hongyin burst into laughter.
He took out a sixth-rank dagger just for show.
The token was also hung around Ye Liuyun’s neck and into his clothes to prevent it from being lost.
After seeing that he was ready, Mao Hongyin let him enter the hall. After the door of the hall was closed, he stared at the large stone outside the hall.
Very quickly, the number "one" appeared on it.
"An instant kill?" Mao Hongyin was somewhat surprised.
But what followed surprised him even more. The number quickly changed to three.
Inside, for each creature he killed would add an extra in the next spawn, so Ye Liuyun was killing more and more.
But at the moment, he was very relaxed. He didn’t use the dagger at all, but using the Elemental Spirit Secret Skill to burst the creatures and absorbing their spiritual energy for cultivation.
This energy was indeed very pure. Ye Liuyun hardly needed to convert it and could directly turn it into genuine energy.
The clone was also practicing with Ye Liuyun inside the Xuankong Stone, compressing and refining the advance energy.
When Ye Liuyun had more than 30 kills, Mao Hongyin couldn’t help it any longer and ran to report to the headmaster.
His combat power was simply too strong that it scared him. Ordinary inner sect disciples were considered excellent if they could even get 10 kills.
Not only did he won in numbers, but he also did it quickly, almost instantly killing them as soon as they appeared.
