Chapter 336: Reexamination

Translator: Reverie_ Editor: Kurisu

“Time’s limited, and you will all be this sect’s disciples hereafter with many chances to spar, so today’s reexamination will be carried out quickly,” the Spiritual Pedestal Tier cultivator spoke. He pointed at the plaza and continued, “Yesterday’s ninety first to one hundred step forward, and line up on the field.” Immediately, ten people stepped forward and stood separately on the field.

“Eighty first to ninety step forward,” he said again, waiting for ten people to step forward, and continued, “You guys can pick one to challenge, the victor stays, and the loser gets eliminated. The battles begin now, but whether or not the battle ends, the second round of battles starts an hour later, and if the two people are still battling on the field, then both will be eliminated.”

“Start!”

With that said, at least five people already started to fighting.

Rest was counted in the time of battle, with a total of one hour’s time, so the faster one’s opponent was taken care of, the more time one had to rest. Moreover, the order in which people took the field was a reward for those who scored well yesterday—the top ten could battle at their best in the final round.

Of course, a true expert would not care about that at all, having the confidence to easily overcome their opponents.

The battle soon became heated. If they lost in this round, they would be eliminated, so everyone fought with all their might; of course, if they didn’t need to use their trump cards, they wouldn’t. After all, if they wanted to advance into top ten, there were still many tough battles ahead.

Ten minutes later, the first battle was over, and another pair tangled for an hour without a victor; well, the two were both eliminated.

The seventy-first place to the eightieth place took the field, and the second round of battle started. A lucky fellow won without fighting, and could welcome the third round of battles in his peak form.

Round after round, each one an hour. This speed was very fast, and after four hours, it was Ling Han’s turn.

“Huh?” Ling Han revealed an astounded expression, because his opponent was Zhao Hong Cheng; before the exam, he was the one who mocked Qi Yong Ye and others as narrow-minded, and also looked down completely on Ling Han.

What a coincidence that Ling Han actually bumped into him.

“Do you forfeit or should I beat you till you concede?” Zhao Hong Cheng said arrogantly.

Ling Han smiled and said, “We’re both in the first layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier, where do get your confidence from?”

“Haha, from this!” Zhao Hong Cheng brandished his sword. It was an oddly shaped sword, with the tip split like a snake’s tongue and an extremely thin fuller; seven vein-like lines could be seen on top of it.

“Silver Serpent Sword, Fourth Tier Spirit Tool! Under full activation, it can rival the battle prowess of one in the fifth layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier!” He circulated his spiritual Qi and began to activate the martial intent of the Spirit Tool. Instantly, the vein-like lines shone and the Spirit Tool emitted a strong presence.

In a sense, the Spirit Tool was equivalent to a cultivator of the same tier, and Zhao Hong Cheng himself was a Spiritual Ocean Tier warrior, which was enough to fully activate the Silver Serpent Sword’s powers; therefore, it was now equivalent to two Spiritual Ocean Tier opponentss attacking Ling Han together. Moreover, Silver Serpent Sword’s power was comparable to an opponent in the fifth layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier, so no wonder Zhao Hong Cheng would be full of confidence.
