Mike dodged Snow Leopard’s first pounce, but he did not have the ability to dodge the second pounce. He made up his mind and decided to face the attack of Snow Leopard directly.

Mike did not have the time to draw out his bone spear, so he could only use his fist to face the Snow Leopard’s huge palm head-on. When the fist and the palm collided, Mike’s Qi in the surroundings was instantly compressed, and a bang was heard. Mike stumbled backward, while Snow Leopard was sent flying.

Someone in the vanguard team whispered, “Senior Snow Leopard’s physical body is considered top-notch among our Senior Brothers. He actually fell into a disadvantageous position. How strong is this kid’s physical body?”

Everyone was silent. No one could answer his question.

Mike’s right hand trembled slightly. He could clearly feel that Snow Leopard’s palm become as hard as iron in an instant. The terrifying strength it carried almost made Mike collapse.

Snow Leopard sat on the snow. He looked at Mike and said, “Mike, that was just a test. Can you endure my next attack?”

Snow Leopard suddenly pounced at Mike. Endless air currents and wind blades surged in his palm, as if it wanted to cut Mike into countless pieces of meat.

Mike chuckled. He pulled out his bone spear. The Golden Holy Dragon on the long spear spiraled up and charged in Snow Leopard’s direction.

Snow Leopard and the Golden Holy Dragon collided, and the Golden Holy Dragon was smashed into pieces. However, Snow Leopard’s speed was only slightly reduced, and he pounced towards Mike again.

Mike frowned. He instantly changed his spear form, and a Sky Wound blocked Snow Leopard’s path.

Snow Leopard’s body was blocked, and his speed suddenly decreased. This was exactly what Mike wanted. Mike immediately thrust his spear forward, and the two fought within a few meters. For a moment, the battle was in a stalemate, and neither side could take down the other.

Snow Leopard frowned. He immediately mobilized the great divine power of Heaven and Earth and instantly locked onto Mike,

However, Mike was not a pushover either. His pupils suddenly lit up. Two golden high-level divine powers were like scissors, fiercely cutting through Snow Leopard’s divine power. Mike took advantage of the divine power to escape.

The Snow Leopard’s heart moved, and he said to himself, “With a little more strength, it should be possible to defeat him.”

Snow Leopard exerted more force, and the great divine power gradually pressed towards Mike. Mike felt a heavy pressure that made him unable to breathe. However, Mike’s high-tier power became even denser. He easily cut through Snow Leopard’s divine power again and escaped from it.

“What?”

Snow Leopard’s eyes widened, and he quickly calmed down, as if he wanted to increase his strength again.

“Enough!”

A white light flashed in their eyes, and they were teleported back to the Dark High Priest’s room.

Snow leopard knelt on the ground and said unwillingly, “If I had a few more minutes, I would definitely be able to take him down.”

The Dark High Priest furrowed his brows tightly and said, “You’ve already used much more divine power than Mike. You’ve lost.”

Snow Leopard’s expression was awkward, but he did not say anything else.

Mike looked at the Dark High Priest and laughed lightly. “Senior Snow Leopard is very powerful. I also won by a hair’s breadth.”

The Dark High Priest said, “Snow Leopard just too impetuous. If he could improve his personality, he would have comprehended the heaven-tier long ago.”

Snow Leopard’s face was flushed red. He cupped his hands towards the Dark High Priest and said, “What you say is true. I will remember it.”

The Dark High Priest nodded and looked at Mike with a smile. He asked, “I see that you are not familiar with the use of the high-level power. Didn’t your teacher teach you?”

Mike said, “Teacher thinks that my strength is still too weak. If I focus all my energy on training the high-level power, it is very likely that I will not be able to keep up with my normal development, which will affect my future advancement.”

The Dark High Priest said, “This… I don’t quite agree with you. Training the high-level power is a process to raise one’s own divine power. This is one thing. You should speak to your seniors and exchange experiences. Observe each other’s high-level power. This will be very beneficial to your future advancement.”

Everyone agreed in unison.

Mike was surprised. He got an unusual message from the Dark High Priest. There seemed to be many high-level students on this great snowy mountain.

Mike’s gaze swept around. In the end, he praised in his heart, ‘as expected of the god of the Higher Darkness Realm. That’s the most powerful teacher in the world. I can’t even see through his aura.’

The Dark High Priest sat cross-legged on his seat and began to let the crowd express their views on the battle just now. Mike and Snow Leopard, who were involved in the battle, had been listening by the side. They could not help but nod their heads at the crucial points. At the same time, they were thinking about what kind of effect the seniors’ opinions would have if they were used in actual combat.

The vanguard team took turns to express their views. Mike and snow leopard stated their understanding of the battle at the end. Mike felt that he had benefited a lot from the battle.

In his heart, Mike admired the Dark High Priest even more. Now he finally understood that the reason why there were so many experts in the Higher Darkness Realm was not because of the abundance of resources, but because the teachers had taught them well. The students had taken fewer detours, that was why they had improved so quickly.

Mike was looking forward to the days that followed.

A day passed very quickly. The group of people walked down the mountain one after another and returned to their residences.

He returned to his residence and gathered everyone together to ask about today’s apprenticeship. The result puzzled Mike a little.

There were 214 people who came to be apprenticed to him. Today, 144 people were rejected. Only 70 people were accepted. The remaining people faced two choices. One was to leave the country within a time limit. The other was to rectify their bad habits.

He sighed and said, “Those who are accepted, go back to your room. Learn well from your teacher. Don’t get into some bad habits that you shouldn’t have.”

Everyone returned to the room together. Elinda walked in front of Mike. She gently pulled on Mike’s sleeve and said, “Mike, you…”

Mike turned and said, “It’s okay. We have to make some changes today. You can go back first.”

Mike looked at the 144 people standing on the snow and said, “Don’t you have anything to say?”

Mike’s gaze swept over the group of people and was surprised to find that Shawk was not among them.

Mike let out a sigh of relief. Since Elinda’s biological brother was not among them, things would be much easier.

Mike looked at the group of people and said, “Don’t you want to say something?”

The second inquiry was entirely pointless. The group of people did not even raise their heads. There were even some people laughing from below..
