The Martial World

…

The Pagoda of the Seven Treasures was built by the overlord of the Seven Profound Valleys. The mysterious and unknown material that made it came from outside the borders of the Sky Fortune Kingdom, and the light filtering through it made it glitter like a translucent gem during the day.

The Beautiful Pagoda has seven floors. Each one was carved with a refined and meticulous formation; this was a magic array.

Yet this magic array was different from the one on the jade platform. The jade platform was merely an illusory array that provoked a harmless dream, but this Exquisite Pagoda magic array was murder.

The assassin array was able to utilize illusions to kill. Those who were trapped in the illusion and died, would actually die.

Of course, the Exquisite Pagoda was only used for entrance exams, so death inside was not real. On the contrary, those who were defeated would only be expelled from the magic array.

Inside the Exquisite Pagoda, one would not be able to use rare weapons or armor. They can only use ordinary weapons. The exam will depend on one's ability to pass.

As time passed, the number of candidates on the jade stage began to decrease. Every flash of light that appears indicates that another candidate has failed. Of the hundred people who had started, sixty or seventy percent had been eliminated, which even included someone at the Third Stage of Body Transformation.

When he was thrown from dreamland, the Third Stage martial artist lowered his shoulders and looked dejected. This was the third time he had participated in the entrance examination of the Seven Profound Martial Houses, and he did not think that he would be defeated this time around. He was already eighteen years old; this was his last and final chance.

After less than half an hour had passed, the second person on the jade stage finally opened their eyes. The person let out a long breath, and with a pale face and trembling legs, he stood up. His back was soaked with sweat.

This person was a high fourth-grade talent, Wang Yanfeng.

After he stood up, he turned to look for the tall and burly young man and Lin Ming who had stolen his spotlight during the Strength Trials. However, he only saw the burly youth who was suffering, and did not look at Lin Ming. Wang Yanfeng's lips turned into a proud and happy smile.

However, when the staff brought him into the waiting room, he saw Lin Ming was already inside and meditating in silence. His face became dark. He thought that Lin Ming had been eliminated, and did not think that Lin Ming might be able to pass the Dream Trial first.

This guy!

Wang Yanfeng felt a deep crisis in his heart. Without a break, he left the waiting room and found the hanger. He whispered to them, "See what talent this person is."

Lin Ming noticed Wang Yanfeng's hostility towards him. But this is normal. Each candidate competes with the others, and there is only one first place prize.

Slowly, the number of people in the waiting room increased, and the second experiment had reached its conclusion.

In the end, of the second trial participants, only 92 candidates remained. Nearly 90% have been eliminated!

Candidates who have just passed the Dream Exam are not given a break, the final exam is about to begin.

If they passed this final trial, then they would become disciples of the Seven Profound Martial Houses. If they failed, then all their previous efforts would be in vain.

Third Test - The Exquisite Pagoda.

A loud and powerful voice echoed in the crowd. This time the supervisor for this trial was a tall, thin, middle-aged man. Even though he looked ordinary, his body had an imposing demeanor that made one's heart rate increase rapidly. Lin Ming only needed to catch a glimpse to say that this person was a master, perhaps even someone who was on the Houtian stage.

Lin Ming could not hold his breath. Before coming to the Seven Profound Martial House, he had never seen many martial artists who were at the Sixth Stage of Body Transformation - the Pulse Condensation Period. But now he had seen at least five or six Houtian masters.

But this is also normal. In the Sky Fortune Kingdom, Houtian masters were usually not found in the Imperial Palace or even the Martial Quarters. Instead they would be in the Seven Profound Martial Houses. Here, most of the Houtian masters were from outside of the Sky Fortune Kingdom, most of them were disciples of the Seven Profound Valleys.

"Follow me." The middle-aged man said, then turned around and left.

The remaining 92 candidates followed suit. Some spectators also followed. Not everyone can see the second trial and the third trial. The people who followed this were nobles or students from the Seven Profound Martial Houses.

The middle-aged man's speed seemed slow, but his speed was similar to running. The candidates must race forward to keep pace.

After a period roughly equal to the time it took to finish eating, they arrived at a valley in the Zhou Mountains. In this valley there was a huge and majestic building. The entrance plaque of the building has four calligraphic characters written with large brushes. 'Seven Profound Martial Pavilions'.

As they entered, they saw a 200-foot-tall building. This is the Pagoda of Seven Treasures.

Very high!

This was Lin Ming's first thought as he entered. He had never seen such a tall building before. It had seven floors, and each floor was about thirty feet tall. It takes several men standing on each other's shoulders to reach a one-story ceiling. The grandest temple in Green Mulberry City could only match a single floor of this Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

Hearing the words of this middle-aged man, some youths remained unconvinced. Wang Yanfeng looked at this young man and sneered. What a bunch of idiots. It was as if the Exquisite Pagoda would be very simple.

The entrance examination of the Seven Profound Martial House had three trials. The first trial tested the foundation, the second trial tested the heart of a martial artist, and the third round was paramount; it was a practical test of both combat prowess and genius level!

The talent of these geniuses, when compared to their contemporaries, had different levels of combat power.

The Exquisite Pagoda contained a killing array. The enemies inside came with varying levels of strength. The magic array used the age of one's bones to determine which enemies one would encounter. The older the bone ages, the harder the opponent is.

Therefore, there was only one person who reached the fifth floor. This person was not senior brother Ling Sen of the Heavenly House, but the girl who looked like soft water, Qin Xingxuan.

Sixth grade talent, this is no joke. Many people did not know Qin Xingxuan's cultivation, but Wang Yanfeng knew. He was at the peak of the Fourth Stage of Body Cultivation.

He was similar to Ling Sen in cultivation, but he was younger than him by five years!

Although Wang Yanfeng was an arrogant man, he was not arrogant enough to think that he could match Qin Xingxuan. He will be satisfied with the fourth floor.

Looking at this Seven Treasures Pagoda, Wang Yanfeng's heart surged with an extremely powerful fighting spirit. To him, the first and second exams of the exams were blank and he was unable to show his true strength, so that strong feeling of being unable to go anywhere, was not, but this third test was the size of the actual battle.

Strength, skill, agility, and combat skills were all involved in it. Wang Yanfeng was confident in himself. He would amaze the world with one brilliant feat and become an overnight sensation in this third trial!

"Come in! Trial difficulty will be determined by your age. " As soon as the middle-aged man waved his hand, the gates of the Seven Treasures Pagoda opened.

Behind the arched entrance, there was a brilliant light shining from within. Lin Ming took a deep breath and slowly walked in.

At this moment, Qin Xingxuan had arrived and was watching the scene. He saw Lin Ming fade away in the distance and continued to stare at him as he disappeared past the seven colored gates.

"Haha, Xingxuan, you pay close attention to Lin Ming."

Rather suddenly asking this question by his teacher, Qin Xingxuan lowered her head as she timidly blushed. He said, “Xingxuan could not resist Lin Ming's inscription techniques and achievements. But if we compare our fighting abilities, then Xingxuan is a little confident. ”

“Mn, about fighting strength, Lin Ming is really inferior to you Xingxuan. What floor do you think Lin Ming will reach? ”

“It...well, according to common sense, a fifteen-year-old child at the Second Stage of Body Transformation would definitely have a very difficult time. But Lin Ming's strength was much stronger than average ... I think he has the possibility to reach the third floor. " Qin Xingxuan thought that this was already an extremely high appraisal of her. If Lin Ming wanted to reach the third layer he would at least need to cultivate to the Third Stage of Body Transformation.

“You're right, but…. I think Lin Ming might be able to give us a pleasant surprise. "

As Muyi and Qin Xingxuan spoke, in an obscure corner of the valley, Lan Yunyue also from afar looked at Lin Ming's fading back, and her eyes were filled with complex emotions.

As a disciple of the Seven Profound Martial Houses, Lan Yunyue had the authority to enter the valley and observe the entrance examination. This is the last test of the exam. As long as one passed, they would become official disciples of the Seven Profound Martial Houses.

With Lin Ming's current condition, he would probably pass through the first floor of the Exquisite Pagoda.

He didn't think that just after half a year, Lin Ming would have an amazing growth ...

If he had to practice martial arts with Lin Ming in the Martial House, Lan Yunyue did not know how he felt in his heart.

At this moment, Lin Ming could not read the thoughts of others who thought about him. He had already arrived at the middle of the killing array.

As soon as he entered the Exquisite Pagoda, another candidate disappeared from his sight, and only he was left.

He appeared in a dark world that faded in black. The night sky was lined with stars and the ground beneath his feet was a hard black stone. In front of him not too far away, the shadow of the gray poison gradually froze into reality. It became a soldier who held a long stick.

This is the enemy? Lin Ming judged that the cultivation of these shadow warriors was around the early Second Stage of Body Transformation.

The middle-aged man said a moment ago that the enemy's strength was determined by his own age. Lin Ming was fifteen years and eight months old. Cultivating an enemy was an early Second Stage, older candidates would naturally face enemies whose strength was higher.

For a fifteen-year-old young man, it seemed like he would have to defeat someone at the Second Stage of Body Transformation to pass.

Lin Ming no longer wasted his time. His springy body shot forward like a fierce and powerful leopard. 'The 'True Primal Chaos Formula' revolved within him and true essence gathered in his muscles. The first attack will be a killing attack!
