Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 49

As the cultivator's emotionless words echoed, the expression of the Spirit Transformation youth became extremely nervous. There were only two chances and he had already lost one. If he failed again, forget about gaining a place on the safe path, he would not even be qualified to compete.

So, he had prepared it long ago this time. The spirit power around him surged like waves and gathered in his right hand, causing his hand to release a dazzling light. At the same time, the fluctuations in spirit power that spread out were enough to make any Meridian Opening cultivator tremble in fear. They were afraid this blow would be enough to blow them up.

The explosion!

Finally, Meng Chong punched out, and the sharp sound of whistling wind echoed throughout the audience. A trace of a fist struck the dragon pillar, and there was a thud.

But even so, when the crowd saw the black bead in the dragon's mouth, they discovered that the black bead was still silent. No movement, let alone light up.

This meant that the second chance of the Spirit Transformation youth also ended in failure.

"This ... How is this possible !?"

The Spirit Transformation youth found this situation hard to believe. He was a Spirit Transformation cultivator, yet he was not even qualified to compete for a place on a safe path?

However, no matter how he reacted, the two cultivators guarding the dragon pillar coldly announced, "Failure. Next."

Hearing this, the Spirit Transformation youth could only leave helplessly. He had no strength and was only a rogue cultivator, so he was naturally unable to offend the powerful force in the Plains Town. Moreover, he couldn't pass the rules, so he didn't say anything about his failure.

When the Spirit Transformation Realm youth failed and left, the crowd was in an uproar. After all, the strength of the Spirit Transformation Realm youth was considered above average among the crowd. Even if he couldn't pass by, wouldn't that mean that more than half of the audience would also fail?

Some people are pessimistic, while others do not believe. Someone walked out of the crowd and arrived in front of the dragon pillar to receive their certification.

Just like before, people continue to receive their certifications, but almost all of them fail. Only a white-haired old man with a powerful aura passed by. The aura of this old man was nearing the final stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, so it made sense for him to pass.

Otherwise, if they could not even pass the final stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, then the crowd would simply disperse. After all, how many late stage Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators were there?

People keep trying. Finally, Yan Chutian and Yan Ningzhu, who were beside Mu Wan, could not stand it anymore. It was worth mentioning that Yan Ningzhu was not dressed as a woman, but as a young man.

Moreover, with Yan Ningzhu's beautiful appearance, one could only imagine how delicate a man's appearance was. He was just standing there, but Yan Chutian could feel the smoldering gazes of the female cultivators around him, as if they could not wait to rush over and catch this handsome young man.

But of course, Yan Ningzhu's cross dress attracted attention, as did Mu Wan, who was wearing ordinary clothes. With him standing beside her, Yan Chutian could also feel the smoldering gazes of those around him. The gaze was filled with jealousy, as if it wanted to replace him.

Towards this gaze, Yan Chutian very impolitely glared at them one by one. When Mu Wan discovered his strange actions, he was speechless. But perhaps even he himself was unaware that the corner of his reddish lips was slightly raised at this moment.

Returning to the main topic, Yan Ningzhu, Yan Chutian, and Mu Wan whispered to each other before stepping out of the crowd and flying towards the front of the dragon pillar.

At this moment, many female cultivators even cried out in shock. It was clear that they had noticed Yan Ningzhu, a handsome young man.

The reaction of many female cultivators obviously made more and more male cultivators extremely dissatisfied. Many grunts rang out from the darkness, and her tone was bitter as they coldly said, "She looks like a woman. How much power can a beautiful boy have?"

However, the situation that made him worry did not happen. Like all the other cultivators before him, he gathered all his strength and threw a punch at the dragon pillar.

Boom…!

As the jade-like fist shattered, an astonishing rumbling sound immediately resounded. Many gazes, which were originally filled with disdain, suddenly tightened at this moment. This was because they had actually caught a glimpse of the dim light emitted from the black bead inside the dragon's mouth. Although weak, it was eventually proven that he had passed the test.

"This ... did he actually pass the exam?"

"This beautiful boy ... his cultivation was actually at the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm!"

Many of the male cultivators in the crowd were speechless and just kept their mouths shut. A mid-level Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator was not someone they were capable of hurting. They actually dared to mock him before. Now that they thought about it, they were only chasing death.

"Gone the exam, report your name."

"Yan Chuzhu."

Yan Ningzhu reported his name. In an instant, Yan Chutian inevitably rolled his eyes. Even if this woman wanted to hide herself, there was no need to use a name that was very similar to her, right?

However, after all, Yan Chuzhu's name was already decided. When Yan Ningzhu returned to the crowd beside Yan Chutian, the surrounding gazes were no longer dismissive but instead filled with respect. At the same time, that fiery gaze became even more intense. It was understandable that a male cultivator with strength and good looks would be very popular.

The crowd became agitated. Since everyone else had succeeded, and it was a young man, the enthusiasm of many people appeared and they rushed to take the exam. However, even though the idea was beautiful, the reality was cruel. There were too many failures, and even if there were people who succeeded, they were all old men and women who were in the middle or late stages of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Seeing people succeeding one by one, Yan Chutian could no longer suppress his burning desire. He whispered something to the two women before rushing out of the crowd and landing in front of the dragon pillar.

Looking at the dragon pillar in front of him, without even using his spirit eyes, Yan Chutian could see the internal structure and composition of the dragon pillar. This kind of thing could not be faked, so one could only prove it by one's own strength. It can be said that the eight forces are open and open.

Yan Chutian jumped out of the crowd. Many people who initially insulted him did not dare to speak up. After all, he was someone close to Yan Chuzhu. Yan Chuzhu was not simple, so how could the people around him be simple?

Sure enough, when Yan Chutian threw a punch, although the aura he unleashed was only at the initial stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, it was at the mid stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. This surprised a lot of people.

"This ... This guy is not simple. He was very young, but he was already at the early stages of the Spirit Transformation Realm. The power of the punch was probably at the mid stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm!"

"Luckily, I don't judge a book by its cover.

"..."

"Stop the exam and report your name."

Not surprisingly, Yan Chutian's punch also caused the black pearl to emit a faint glow.
