Chapter 2333 - 2336: The Humiliation of the Mountain-Guarding Disciple
Chapter 2333 - 2336: The Humiliation of the Mountain-Guarding Disciple
"The second round is relatively simple and straightforward. After the final twenty people have been determined, the original teams will be disbanded and reshuffled into four groups."
These four groups will be decided by drawing lots.
Each group will select one person, and finally, these five individuals will have a cyclic challenge. According to the results of the challenges, the top three will join the Dark Clan of Upper Eight Immortals Mountain!"
The Hei Xianshan Mountain Master explained, "But Sky Demon Peak is not an ordinary place. There, you must deal with fragmented space, which is very mysterious.
The final duel location could be in any harsh environment.
Adaptability and strength are crucial, so Ling Xiao, you still have a chance as long as you make good use of the environment; it is possible to advance."
It was clear that the Hei Xianshan Mountain Master was comforting Ling Xiao. As the mountain master, he couldn’t undermine his own disciple.
However, the comforting tone was too obvious, and everyone present heard it very clearly.
"If he can advance, roosters will lay eggs."
Zhou Tong couldn’t hold back from saying a word.
Although the words were a bit harsh, they represented the true sentiments of many people.
No one believed that Ling Xiao could eventually advance to the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain.
Even those who truly supported Ling Xiao found it unlikely.
After all, although Ling Xiao had outstanding talents, his strength was too weak.
No matter how intelligent he was, ultimately, it’s about strength in this assessment.
Of course, Ling Xiao must admit that if it were him before the breakthrough, perhaps such thoughts were indeed correct.
At that time, even he thought he had no chance of advancing.
But now, everything has changed.
He continuously advanced to the Late Stage of First-Turn Second-Layer Hell.
He even cultivated the Advanced Thunder and Lightning War Body and Advanced Magma Combat Body, mastering Yu Pin’s high-level secret techniques.
His strength is vastly more powerful than before, simply incomparable.
"Just wait to be astonished, I, Ling Xiao, will make each of you utterly shocked."
Sneering to himself, Ling Xiao’s mood suddenly relaxed.
With strength comes less pressure.
Seeing Ling Xiao so confident and at ease, Hei Xianshan Mountain Master couldn’t help but be taken aback.
He had taught so many disciples, but Ling Xiao was the only one he couldn’t see through.
Perhaps there’s really some unknown secret about him.
If that were true, it would be a huge surprise.
For the first time, he began to look forward to it.
This advancement test might become extremely exciting.
Lin Ruoxian also seemed to have this illusion and anticipation.
On the contrary, En Renfeng straightforwardly patted Ling Xiao’s shoulder and laughed heartily: "Don’t worry, junior brother, your senior brother has taken the test several times, and still hasn’t passed.
This is your first time participating in the advancement assessment.
If you don’t pass, there’s always next year. With your qualifications, next year you’ll definitely be stronger than Sha Mo Yun and Chi Ling’er."
He was sincerely earnest in his rambling words.
Ling Xiao chuckled quietly.
He considered himself quite lucky, except for that Qin Luan Hua, the other teammates were trustworthy.
This time, he not only intended to advance himself but also wanted the other four to smoothly proceed to the second round.
Once in the second round, he would be unable to help.
"Alright, speaking of the test, there’s nothing more to say. Tomorrow morning, you three will accompany me to Red Immortal Mountain.
All participating disciples will gather there and will be set into groups."
After speaking, the Hei Xianshan Mountain Master left.
He didn’t want to waste any more of Ling Xiao and the others’ time.
Red Immortal Mountain is the strongest mountain of Lower Eight Immortals Mountain, so every time the disciples of Lower Eight Immortals Mountain gather, it always starts there, even if Hei Xianshan produced a Ling Xiao.
This doesn’t change the dominance of Sha Mo Yun and Chi Ling’er.
Unless in this Upper Eight Immortals Mountain assessment, Ling Xiao outshines those two, perhaps Hei Xianshan will have its day.
After the departure of Hei Xianshan Mountain Master, Lin Ruoxian also left.
She had been protecting Ling Xiao these days without a proper rest; this time, she needed to rest well.
En Renfeng, Zhou Tong, and Feng Ru left one after another.
Ling Xiao returned to his room, not to practice but to sleep.
He needed to be in optimal condition.
For Martial Artists in the Yin-Yang Realm, sleep becomes almost optional.
But Ling Xiao preferred to sleep because during sleep, he found his body’s recovery capabilities were tens of times faster than when awake.
...
The next morning.
As promised, the Hei Xianshan Mountain Master came to find Ling Xiao and also brought along En Renfeng and Zhou Tong to go to Red Immortal Mountain.
From Hei Xianshan to Red Immortal Mountain, the distance is not short, but for Martial Artists of Yin-Yang Realm cultivation, travel doesn’t take long.
After about thirty minutes, the four arrived at the foot of Red Immortal Mountain.
"Please relay, the Hei Xianshan Mountain Master, accompanied by disciples Ling Xiao, En Renfeng, and Zhou Tong, comes to Red Immortal Mountain to gather for the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain assessment."
Even facing the gatekeepers of Red Immortal Mountain, the Hei Xianshan Mountain Master was exceptionally polite.
Quite frankly, as a mountain master of a dignified status in the entire Eight Immortal Mountains, at elder-level, those gatekeepers only have mid-stage Second Layer Hell cultivation level.
If he wanted, he could easily kill them.
Yet he didn’t do that.
So, within the Eight Immortal Mountains, there’s a saying - "Hei Xianshan Mountain Master Heiye Wuxing is a coward."
Heiye Wuxing is either his codename or name.
The outside world does not know.
It’s just how people refer to him.
This name is also considered the name of the most useless elder in the entire Eight Immortals Mountain.
Even many disciples yet to reach the Yin-Yang Realm dare to mock and ridicule him behind his back.
Heiye Wuxing has never said anything nor done anything.
He’s like a deaf person, unable to hear or see these things.
The attitude of Red Immortal Mountain’s gatekeeping disciples also proved this.
One of the gatekeeping disciples, with early-stage Second Layer Hell cultivation level, the Hei Xianshan Mountain Master could easily crush him like an ant.
Yet, this person looked at Heiye Wuxing a bit arrogantly and said, "Black Mountain Master, sorry, the gathering place has changed; you must go directly to the Demon Guard Post of Sky Demon Mountain."
His attitude was cold and arrogant, as if he were superior to Hei Xianshan Mountain Master.
"I see, then let’s go."
Hei Xianshan Mountain Master frowned but didn’t ask much, instead calling out to Ling Xiao, En Renfeng, and Zhou Tong to prepare to leave.
"Mountain Master, I’d like to go to the lavatory and join you later."
Zhou Tong suddenly said uncomfortably.
"Go ahead."
Hei Xianshan Mountain Master still didn’t ask much.
After Zhou Tong left, Ling Xiao couldn’t contain himself.
"Mountain Master, you know those gatekeeping disciples are talking nonsense, and you know Zhou Tong’s trip to the lavatory is just an excuse; he must be going up Red Immortal Mountain, right?
But why won’t you say it?"
He asked unhappily.
To be honest, Ling Xiao never had a good impression of cowards, especially those with strength who still act cowardly.
