Lu Ming didn't want to come into contact with people from the royal family.
Such people who carry the luck of the dynasty are very troublesome.
If you accidentally get involved in the karma of the dynasty, it will be very troublesome to deal with.
After leaving the market, Lu Ming followed the road up the mountain.
When he came to the courtyard halfway up the mountain, he saw Ke and Fang still playing chess.
Lu Ming entered the courtyard quietly and sat down.
The two just glanced at Lu Ming, and then focused all their attention on the chessboard.
The momentum of both sides was very strong.
Although they are both cultivators at the ninth level of foundation building, they are the absolute controllers in front of the chessboard.
Lu Ming stared at the chessboard for a long time, and his heart was touched.
"Are these two people simulating the chessboard of all living beings?"
Lu Ming had only heard of the chessboard of all living beings.
One side used the human race as chess pieces, while the other side used the demon race as chess pieces.
Normally, the loser's cultivation would be abolished and his future would be cut off. However
, since it was a simulation, the cost was smaller and the loser's cultivation would only be banned for a period of time.
"What kind of hatred or grudge is this big?"
Lu Ming secretly clicked his tongue.
No matter how good the relationship between the two was before.
At this moment, the two are in a hostile relationship and need to do everything they can to kill each other so that they can survive.
Lu Ming felt frightened after watching for a while, and he hurriedly got up and said goodbye.
Going back to the small courtyard, Lu Ming was not in a hurry to practice, but was adjusting his state of mind.
The three levels of the academy are not that simple.
Don't look at the number of cultivators who come, most of them will be screened out.
Those who can stay in the academy are recognized by the academy.
So he must keep himself in his prime.
Not long after, Gongsun Ying came back with a drooping face.
Seeing Lu Ming leisurely drinking tea and reading, he was speechless.
"Aren't you going to a date?"
""It's over."
Lu Ming looked calm and took a sip of tea.
"Old friends, why don't you chat for a while?"
When talking about old friends, Gongsun Ying was very irritable.
"What is there to talk about? We grew up together naked, and we know everything about each other. There is not much to talk about."
Lu Ming looked at Gongsun Ying in surprise.
He could feel that she seemed to be very upset when she mentioned the grandson of the dynasty.
However, Lu Ming was not so gossipy, and he would not ask questions about everything. He just poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Gongsun Ying.
Gongsun Ying looked at the teacup, still unhappy.
After sitting for a while, she suddenly stood up and locked herself in the room.
Lu Ming shook his head and continued to drink tea and read.
Three days passed in a flash.
Lu Ming got up early and walked out of the room. He turned his head to look at Gongsun Ying's room. The door was closed and very quiet.
"This girl hasn't been out for three days, right?"
Lu Ming touched his chin and knocked on the door.
Gongsun Ying came out with red eyes, looking tired as if she hadn't slept for several days.
"How can you be assessed in this state?"
"I don't want to take the exam anymore."
Gongsun Ying's voice was a little hoarse.
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, and without asking any more questions, he took out a small porcelain bottle and placed it on the windowsill.
"This pill can restore your body to its peak state. If you have considered it carefully, take the pill and take the test in full condition."
After saying that, Lu Ming turned and left.
Gongsun Ying stared at the porcelain bottle in a daze, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Why can’t I practice!"
……
Lu Ming walked out of the courtyard and saw that many people were already on the path heading to the assessment site. The assessment site for cultivators is different from that for mortals.
Lu Ming came to the valley opposite the cave exit.
It was already full of disciples from various sects.
They made way for a bluestone staircase in the middle that led directly to the sky.
Everyone was quiet and no one was talking to each other.
Lu Ming found a comfortable place to sit down.
He took out the Zhenwu Dangmo Sutra and read it silently.
More and more people came to the valley.
By noon, all the cultivators who took the assessment had gathered here.
Lu Ming took a glance and estimated that there were about 30,000 of them. More than half of them were disciples from the sects. The remaining few were independent cultivators.
With Lu Ming's experience of surviving in the Demon Sect for ten years, he could tell who was a cultivator of the Demon Sect at a glance.
"The examination in the academy is so strict, how are they going to cheat through it?"
Those demon cultivators seemed to notice Lu Ming's gaze and looked over one by one.
Lu Ming continued to flip through the Zhenwu Dangmo Sutra calmly.
At this time, an old man in green walked down the bluestone steps.
It was the old man in green who had led them before.
When the old man in green appeared, all the cultivators stood up and looked at the Heavenly Path with fiery eyes.
They knew that the examination had begun.
The old man in green gently stroked his beard and glanced at everyone.
"I think you can't wait any longer, but I still need to explain the assessment rules."
"The assessment consists of three stages: the road to heaven, winter cicadas, and the heart test."
"There is a spirit-killing formation on the way to heaven, and you can only climb the mountain with your physical body. If anyone can't hold on, they must give up voluntarily, otherwise the consequences will be very serious."
"Winter Cicada is an illusion, please don't get lost in it. If you want to give up, just shout in the illusion, don't force yourself"
"The heart-knocking test is to ask your own heart. Those who cannot pass the heart-knocking test, do not struggle, just leave on your own. Your sect is still waiting for you outside."
The green-clothed old man's tone was gentle, but his attitude was very cold.
After he finished his request, he went straight to the cloud.
""The test begins!"
With a command, everyone rushed to the bluestone steps.
As soon as Lu Ming's feet stepped on the bluestone steps, the spiritual energy in his body was instantly sealed.
Unable to mobilize a drop of spiritual energy, Lu Ming's strength was weakened by 80%.
However, he practiced the Great Sun Amitabha Heart Sutra and drank a lot of extremely yin water, which made his body very strong.
Although he was not as good as the physical cultivators of the same level, he was not weak.
Lu Ming climbed up the steps.
At first, it was easy.
But when he reached one-third of the way up, a mountain of pressure suddenly fell on his shoulders.���Up.
The sudden change almost crushed Lu Ming to the ground.
Fortunately, he persisted and quickly adapted to this terrifying pressure.
At the same time, painful screams continued to sound around Lu Ming.
He looked back and saw that many people were kneeling on the ground under the pressure, and their kneecaps turned directly into powder.
Lu Ming grinned and continued to climb up under the pressure.
Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps.
After the three thousand three hundred and thirty-three steps, the pressure will increase by one point every three hundred and thirty steps.
As Lu Ming walked along, he saw many monks whose legs were constantly trembling, but they still gritted their teeth and persisted.
But those who can always carry this pressure and insist on climbing the mountain are those demon monks.
This level tests willpower, and this pressure is torture.
Demon monks are not afraid of torture, and even enjoy torture.
Moreover, in the eyes of demon monks, this is not torture.
At least not for Lu Ming.
He climbed up step by step.
Gradually surpassing many people.
The pressure on him is getting greater and greater.
At first it was just one mountain, but when it was two-thirds up, it became two.
At this stage, one-third of the people had been eliminated.
Lu Ming was breathing heavily, his eyes red as he stared ahead.
Three thousand three hundred and thirty-three steps.
Lu Ming's eyes showed madness.
Every time he took a step, his bones were creaking.
Beads of sweat on his forehead kept dripping down his cheeks.
"I have been practicing for ten years. Sitting still is much harder than this. This little pressure can't bother me!"
Lu Ming climbed up one step at a time.
He saw the people around him began to use their hands and feet.
These people were pale, as if they might not be able to hold on at any time.
Lu Ming smiled at them, and then stepped over them.
Every time he passed someone, Lu Ming would smile at them.
The handsome face began to turn red, and the veins on his forehead bulged, making his smile a little distorted.
Lu Ming passed a demon cultivator.
He turned his head and looked at the man.
"If you can't hold on, don't continue. Everything you do now will be in vain. The academy will not let you join."
