The first round was to test the strength of a person. One should first step onto this mountain wall and then enter the path in it. If one could enter safely, he would pass the first round.
For the first round of former years, the passing rates were all over 99 percent. Anyone who dared to participate in the inner sect exams would naturally have the confidence to pass.
In order to pass early, the crowd went crazy.
After arriving in front of the mountain wall, they took their breaths, and with a tap of their feet, they rushed onto the mountain wall. At the same time, they took advantage of the shallow pits on the mountain wall to step and move again.
"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"
After a few jumps, a disciple dressed in green clothes flew into the mountain cave that was a hundred meters away from the wall. Just before he entered the cave, he turned his head and a cold, confident smile flashed across his eyes.
This man was Mobish.
Mobish was a perfection-leveled Celestial Phenomenon Stage martial warrior, so it was reasonable for him to be so fast, but just as Mobish's feet landed on the ground, another figure, like a big bird, quickly flew up. Its speed was actually just slightly slower than Mobish.
This was an unfamiliar young man. He was very handsome. His eyes were as bright as stars, and the aura he gave off was also that of an initial-leveled Celestial Phenomenon Stage martial warrior. Mobish didn't know him. Seeing the youth, Mobish was clearly startled once more.
The youth sneered at Mobish and entered the cave.
"Dammit, where did this person come from? The movement skill he used is actually a Mid-grade Celestial Rank Skill." Mobish cursed angrily in his heart. He felt that he had met a powerful opponent. Originally, he had been sure to win first place but his dream of entering the core seemed to be a little harder because of the appearance of this youth.
Mobish rushed into the cave.
"Damn it, don't rush."
"F*ck, don't step on my head."
"Get the hell down here."
The people who had run quite fast entered successfully and easily followed by those who had run either too fast or too slow and those who just followed the crowd. It turned out to be messy as hundreds of people plowed to rush in.
Although the mountain wall was very big and there were many caves, it was unable to allow several hundred people to dash to the top at the same time. Thus, when these people soared into the air and had nowhere to step on, they subconsciously stepped on the newcomers' heads or shoulders, took a breath, and went on.
Things like stepping on others' heads or shoulders happened every now and then. Angry curses and roars fell and rose. The scene was extremely chaotic.
"F*ck off, I am Hassan. Who dares to fight with me over this."
An angry curse came from the crowd. Then, a disciple in green clothes rose into the air, stepped on a person's shoulder, and then stepped on another's head, soaring up once again.
Just as he was feeling proud, he felt someone step on his head and a clear footprint appeared. After that, his soaring body slowed down and fell down.
"Who is that person? Damn, I'll see you later."
Just as he was falling, Hassan saw Alex flying overhead and cursed in unwillingness. After that, he dropped to the ground with a thump.
Hassan dropped to the ground. He roared again, and again he stepped on the two people in the air one after the other as footholds. However, following that, he felt a fragrant wind caress his face his head was once again stepped on by someone, and his body fell down again.
"You, Basta...!"
Hassan raised his head and was about to curse angrily, but he actually saw a cute and mischievous figure. It was actually Sabine. Before the curses could be finished, Hassan stopped and dropped to the ground. But one could faintly hear a curse, "That unknown person, you bastard, just you wait, I'll definitely teach you a lesson later."
It turned out that he had owed what Sabine did to him to Alex as well.
When Arfan arrived in front of the mountain wall, he jumped off from the ground and his figure became exceptionally nimble just like a swallow. His movement skill was profound and seemed to be even more elegant than Alex's. He only needed to take a few footsteps in the air before he arrived at the entrance of the cave.
Arfan also stepped on people's heads as his footholds, but nobody was forced to drop to the ground. He was as light as a swan.
"Let's go."
Alex was at the edge of the cave, seeing Arfan and Sabine coming up, he smiled at them and indicated for them to go forward.
Arfan and Sabine looked at each other. Arfan said: "We are told to take good care of him, but it seems he is taking good care of us!"
Sabine nodded and said: "It seems his strength is not low at all. Although I can't tell, but it seems he should not be weaker than Mobish."
As soon as they entered the cave, a pressure appeared forcing the three of them to suddenly stop.
"Be careful, there is pressure inside this cave, which is used as a test of strength. If it's an initial-leveled Celestial Phenomenon Stage martial warrior, facing this pressure, they will be greatly obstructed and slow down. When facing the attacks of the wooden puppets, it will be difficult for him to dodge." Just as they entered the cave, Sabine said to the two of them.
"Huu!"
A gust of wind followed Sabine's words and rushed toward Alex's face. Alex waved his fist and activated all of his strength to strike in front of him.
"Bang!"
Following a dull sound, Alex took two steps back. In front of him, a two-meter-tall wooden puppet also staggered backward.
Seeing Alex's simple attack force the wooden puppet to retreat, Arfan and Sabine's eyes changed, and they looked at Alex as though they were looking at a monster.
"You're actually an Extreme-leveled Celestial Phenomenon Stage martial warrior. Damn!"
"It is no wonder you were able to take care of a wooden puppet so easily."
Alex only smiled at them and did not say anything. He had already looked at all disciples' attribute panels but was not interested in any one of them.
He was about to check Great Elder and other Elders' information as well, but before he could do that, the test started, and he had to come here.
Alex looked forward only to find those disciples who had already entered before them, were all trying to dodge facing the wooden puppets. None of them dared to fight the wooden puppet head-on. It was rare for Alex to find a person who did fight a wooden puppet head on but after that, he was pushed back seven or eight meters in one strike of the wooden puppet. On the other hand, the wooden puppet stood still.
They kept on moving forward.
"Ahh!"
However, at this moment, a miserable cry suddenly sounded out from behind the two. A disciple in green just came in but he could not help but kneel down facing this pressure. Then, the wooden puppet hit him, and he flew out of the cave entrance.
"Alas, let's go, there are people who don't pass every year. Even if someone at the initial-leveled Celestial Phenomenon Stage climbed up the cliff to here, he would still face the pressure and wooden puppets. If one falls from such a high place, one will at least be heavily injured if not dead. Their whole life will be wasted." Arfan let out a low sigh, and then, indicated for them to continue walking.
Immediately after, there were two more miserable shrieks from behind. It was obvious that two more people also initial-leveled Celestial Phenomenon Stage and they were trying to enter but were stopped by the pressure and sent out by the wooden puppet.
"It is said that this cave was built personally by the Grand Elder of our Fourth Mountain Peak for the examination. In all these years, there has never been a single mistake." Noticing Alex's serious expression, Sabine explained.
"Grand Elder, is he the strongest person in the Fourth Mountain Peak?" Alex asked in doubt.
"No! Peak Master is the strongest one, and Grand Elder is the second strongest person in our Fourth Mountain Peak." Sabine said.
They quickly passed through the cave. In front of them was an even larger square, and a lot of disciples from both inner and outer sects had already gathered there.
The first stage of the inner sect examination was focused on only martial warriors at the or above perfection-leveled Celestial Phenomenon Stage martial warriors. So, in this test, only extremely powerful initial-leveled-leveled Celestial Phenomenon Stage martial warriors passed. As for other initial-leveled Celestial Phenomenon Stage martial warriors, they failed the test.
