Fantasy, I can devour infinitely

The students were very angry.

Seeing Lin Xiao walk into the college from the side door, many candidates were indignant.

"This kid must have entered through the back door, and he was found out. Damn it."

"Yeah, if someone hadn't protected him, this kid would have been kicked out of the exam like the previous one."

"Forget it, even if he can pass the preliminary exam by chance, he will be eliminated sooner or later when he reaches the qualifying round. He relies on his real ability."

"That's right, this guy who got in through the back door must be very weak and will definitely be eliminated in the qualifying round. We don't need to pay attention to him."

Just when many candidates were talking about it, a loud voice sounded.

"Rules of the preliminary test. I will release my spiritual pressure. If anyone among you can climb 500 steps, you will pass and can participate in the next round of qualifying."

"Time, half an hour."

As soon as Dugu Hong finished speaking, he tiptoed back to the top step, and the other four deans followed closely.

Dugu Hong waved his hand casually, and an invisible pressure spread out like a tide, instantly covering a few hundred meters.

The candidates below instantly felt a pressure, and their faces changed slightly.

However, some candidates were calm and indifferent.

"Preliminary test, start!"

As soon as the voice fell, these candidates rushed forward, scrambling to climb one step after another.

Five hundred steps are equivalent to half of the entire long step. Under normal circumstances, these people can take three or five steps at a time. It will take less than half an incense stick to reach the five hundredth step.

But now, the surroundings are full of spiritual pressure, which has added a lot of burden to them. It is not so easy to climb over the 500th floor.

The preliminary test is mainly to test whether the candidates have a solid foundation and whether their realm is mixed with water. Candidates with a solid foundation will have no problem passing the preliminary test.

Soon, in just one stick of incense, these candidates have opened up the gap.

Those who move quickly, from the beginning, take three floors in one step, without any pause, as if they are not affected by the spiritual pressure.

Those who are a little slower, take one or two floors in one step, with a steady rhythm, constantly approaching the 500th floor.

Nearly half of the candidates seem to be struggling. They are still easy at the beginning, but after the 100th floor, the gap is completely widened. It is very difficult to climb one floor. This is the performance of a weak foundation.

There is only half an hour left, and those who are still below the 100th floor basically have no hope.

Before they knew it, half of the time had passed, and more than half of the candidates had not yet reached the 300th floor. The further they went, the more they consumed their physical strength, the harder it was to climb up, and the slimmer their hope became.

Among the tens of thousands of candidates, there were a few people who were always at the front.

"Lu Feng from Fenghuo City, Lei Gang from Tianlei City, and Lan Yan'er from Bingxue City, these people are all the best among these candidates." Looking at the figures walking in the front, Dugu Hong said slowly.

"It's a pity that the number of sword seal scrolls is limited, otherwise, with their talent and strength, they would definitely be able to get the sword seal scroll." Qingmuyuan Mu Lin said.

"Ruobing, that Lan Yan'er, is she from your Lan family?" Xu Yan said. He knew that Lan Ruobing was also from Bingxue City, and had the same surname as Lan Yan'er, so it was not difficult to guess the relationship between the two.

Lan Ruobing nodded slightly, "Yes, Yan'er is from the Lan family and is also my niece."

"So that's it, Lan Yan'er is your niece, I hope you won't..." Before Dugu Hong finished speaking, Lan Ruobing interrupted him directly and glared at him, "Don't worry, I, Lan Ruobing, have always been clear about public and private affairs, and will not be partial to others. Even if it is a relative, I have to rely on my strength to speak, and Yan'er can only rely on herself. I am not like some people who are full of conspiracies and tricks."

Dugu Hong smiled awkwardly, but the smile was a little forced and a little cold.

Soon, half an hour passed.

The few people who had been leading completed the task a few incense sticks ahead of time, including Lan Yan'er.

Lan Ruobing glanced at Lan Yan'er and showed a satisfied smile, and Lan Yan'er also smiled back.

Seeing this scene, Dugu Hong raised the corner of his mouth and sneered in his heart, laughing, you won't be able to laugh later.

This time, more than half of the candidates were eliminated, leaving less than 5,000 people.

Passing the preliminary exam means that these people have

They are considered disciples of the Sword-asking Academy.

The candidates who passed the test lay on the steps, sweating all over but smiling, while those who failed lay on the steps sighing, and some even cried.

After resting for an hour, Dugu Hong said, "Candidates who passed the preliminary test can enter the academy square from the main gate. The rest of the candidates should not be discouraged. Come back next year. Sword-asking Academy will always welcome you."

Soon, nearly 5,000 candidates entered Sword-asking Academy and came to the central square. At this time, those candidates who passed directly had been waiting here for a long time.

While waiting for the end of the preliminary test, Lin Xiao was not idle and kept practicing.

He felt that he was about to break through the realm. He had reached a bottleneck at the peak of the seventh level of the Gathering Spirit Realm.
