God of Defiance

The next morning.

All the peripheral disciples from the four main courtyards in the southeast and northwest gathered in a giant square in front of a mountain deep inside the headquarters of the Iron-Blooded Dragon Cult.

The entire huge square is several miles in circumference, but at this moment, at a glance, it is full of buzzing heads and a dense darkness, which instantly makes people feel a bit breathless and depressed.

Chu Tian stood among the crowd, glanced around, and was secretly speechless.

Originally, he thought that the total number of peripheral disciples in the four courtyards of the southeast, northwest and northwest should be seven to eight thousand. Now that he saw it, the real number was definitely in the tens of thousands!

Among the tens of thousands of people present, any one of them in a small country like Wuyan Country would definitely be a first-class genius, and might even directly destroy half of the small country!

But in the Iron-Blooded Dragon Sect, they can only be regarded as peripheral disciples. This shows how amazing the number of geniuses the entire Iron-Blooded Dragon Sect has!

It is definitely not an easy task to stand out from the tens of thousands of people present and enter the top 100, top 10, or even get the final first place after some fierce competition!

"Chu Tian, ​​if I fail the test this time, I'm afraid I'll have to pack up and go home!"

Next to him, Fatty Gou lamented with a bitter look on his face.

After Chu Tian heard this, he immediately smiled: "Haha, don't worry, with me here, you can definitely pass the test smoothly and you won't pack up and go home!"

The reason why Chu Tian dared to say this was because of his strong strength. Helping Fatty Gou pass the test was just a small thing for him.

When Fatty Gou heard this, his face immediately became filled with joy.

Although the relationship between the two people was very close before, and they could even talk about everything, but now Chu Tian is the registered disciple of the great figure in the sect, Venerable Huo Zhen, and his status has soared, which is completely different from before!

Therefore, whenever Fatty Gou speaks to Chu Tian now, he does so with a cautious attitude. He no longer dares to be as careless as before, for fear of accidentally offending Chu Tian.

Although Chu Tian didn't like Fatty Gou's cautious look, there was nothing he could do about it. The status gap between the two was indeed quite big!

"Um?"

Suddenly, Chu Tian clearly felt a hostile gaze looking at him from another place, and hurriedly turned his head to look.

As a result, he suddenly saw Cui Yuheng standing in the crowd.

At this moment, Cui Yuheng was dressed in a bloody robe, with his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly narrowed, staring at Chu Tian, ​​with an undisguised murderous intention in the slits of his eyes, and a look of calmness and calmness all over his handsome face. .

Obviously, he thought that this time he would definitely find an opportunity to kill Chu Tian and avenge his dead brother Cui Yuchi!

"Hmph..."

After Chu Tian glanced at Cui Yuheng in the crowd dozens of feet away, he smiled coldly and disdainfully, and then looked away.

He still hides his cultivation at the minor level of the Spiritual Whirlpool Realm, and does not show his cultivation in the Spiritual Whirlpool Realm to the public.

Once his true cultivation is revealed, he believes that it is absolutely impossible for the other party to remain as calm as he is now!

boom!

Suddenly, a powerful sound of breaking through the air came from very far away. Everyone present hurriedly turned their heads and looked in the direction of the sound.

In the sight, a bloody rainbow shot from a distance. In the blink of an eye, it appeared above the giant square. The light flashed and revealed its true body. It turned out to be an old man in blood clothes!

"It's him!"

The moment he saw the old man in blood clothes, Chu Tian's heart suddenly jumped.

The old man in the blood suit who appeared above the square at this moment was none other than the old man he met when he and Fatty Gou broke through to the Spiritual Whirlpool Realm a long time ago when they took the North Academy assessment together!

At this moment, Jiu Lao no longer looked like the slovenly, sleepy look he had seen before. Instead, he showed an extraordinary posture with a jade bone facing the wind and a towering head.

Obviously, Jiu Lao had deliberately hidden his cultivation before.

At this moment, Chu Tian was even more sure that there were definitely masters gathering in the entire Iron-Blooded Dragon Sect. Hidden dragons and crouching tigers, any one who swept the floor might be a master with astonishing strength!

After Jiu Lao appeared, he seemed to glance in the direction of Chu Tian intentionally. After nodding, he said loudly: "You can call me Jiu Lao. I am the referee of this annual assessment!"

Although Jiu Lao's voice was not very loud, it reached everyone's ears very clearly.

"I've seen Mr. Jiu!"

After Jiu Lao finished speaking, many peripheral disciples present hurriedly raised their hands and saluted.

"This annual assessment is divided into two stages. The first stage is the elimination stage, and the second stage is the challenge stage. Each of the disciples who are lucky enough to enter the top 100 will receive the corresponding Half-Saint Dragon Liquid reward! "

"The disciples who enter the top ten in the final can enter the Yuanshi Palace to practice for three days and three nights, and the disciples who enter the top three in the final can practice in the Yuanshi Palace for seven days and seven nights!"

After a breath, Jiu Lao's clear voice spread throughout the audience.

"What, if you enter the top three, you can practice in Yuanshi Palace for seven days and seven nights!"

"It's amazing. In the past, the top three could only practice for five days and five nights, but this time it has been increased to seven days and seven nights!"

"Even being able to practice in the Yuanshi Palace for one more day is a huge blessing. This time it actually increased by two days!"

"Top three! This time, I will risk my life to hit the top three!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole square immediately boiled with excitement, and many people's faces showed unprecedented excitement.

"hehe!"

Chu Tian smiled slightly at this time.

After the Jiu Lao announced the amazing rewards, the intensity of this annual assessment is destined to be more intense than before!

The old man stood in the air, pressed his hands to signal everyone to keep quiet, and then said calmly: "Next, let's go to the first stage of the annual assessment. Everyone, follow me!"

Jiu Lao said, waved his hand, turned around and flew towards the mountain not far away at high speed.

Swish, swish, swish!

In one breath, tens of thousands of people on the square immediately flew up, following closely behind Jiu Lao, and flew towards the mountains not far away.

This scene, from a distance, is very shocking. Tens of thousands of people are flying at the same time, like countless bloody locusts, all moving out.

Not long after, tens of thousands of people landed in front of the mountain. They were densely packed and crowded together. At the same time, they looked up at the bloody figure standing in the sky in front of them.

Jiu Lao stood in the void, raised his hand and pointed at the nearby mountain, and said solemnly: "On this thousand-foot-high mountain, three different formations have been arranged in advance!"

"Next, you all climb up the mountain along the steps. The warriors who have just completed the Spiritual Whirlpool Realm need to climb to a height of 200 feet, the warriors who have become a junior warrior need to climb to a height of 400 feet, and the great warriors need to climb to a height of 600 feet. As for the peak warriors, they need to climb Climb to 800 feet, the time limit is three hours!”

"Any warrior who cannot meet the minimum requirements will be eliminated directly. Within three days, he will voluntarily leave the Iron-Blooded Dragon Sect and will not be allowed to return to the sect again!"

"You'd better go all out to climb the mountain, because the results in the first stage are not only related to the second stage, but also related to your final results!"

After listening to Jiu Lao's story, everyone present looked at the ordinary mountain with horror.

Chu Tian was also staring at the thousand-foot-high mountain with a hint of shock in his eyes. There were actually three completely different formations secretly ambush on this mountain.

The Iron-Blooded Dragon Sect is indeed the largest force in the Panlong Empire. This is indeed an astonishing generosity!

"start!"

After a few breaths, Jiu Lao took a deep breath and drank coldly.

Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!

As soon as the words fell, tens of thousands of people roared at the top of their lungs, kicked their feet violently, and rushed madly towards the thousand-foot mountain not far away.

Chu Tian and Gou Fatty also rushed up the steps together.

As soon as he stepped onto the first step, Chu Tian suddenly felt that there was a very slight strangeness in the void around him. If he didn't feel it carefully, he wouldn't be able to feel it at all.

Uh-huh!

Chutian stepped on it with both feet and climbed quickly, like a gust of wind.

Although Fatty Gou was slightly slower than Chu Tian, ​​he was not much slower and was still following Chu Tian closely.

Although the steps were more than ten feet wide, tens of thousands of people were climbing frantically at the same time, and they immediately became overcrowded. There was a massive stampede in an instant, and screams continued to be heard.

Swish, swish, swish!

Everyone was very fast, and in just a few breaths, they reached a height of a hundred feet!

However, at this moment, a faint heavy pressure suddenly fell from the sky, pressing on everyone at once, and everyone's speed immediately slowed down greatly.

At the same time, a strange faint red light floated slowly from all directions and entered everyone's facial features. Suddenly, everyone's eyes began to look a little confused.

That’s not all!

Just one breath later, waves of breeze blew from all directions at the same time.

This breeze blew on the human body, and the human body immediately felt a slight numbness, and soon the spiritual energy in the body began to slowly flow away automatically.

"Tsk, tsk, gravity formation, ** formation, and spirit consumption formation. It turns out that these are the three formations. It seems that the Iron-Blooded Dragon Sect has really spent a lot of thought on this annual assessment!"

At this moment, Balao's voice of admiration appeared in Chu Tian's ears.

"Gravity, ***, spirit consumption!"

After Chu Tian heard this, his expression immediately changed.

The gravity formation is easy to understand. It is nothing more than imposing a gravity on everyone's shoulders. The ** formation can confuse the consciousness of the warrior, making the warrior unable to concentrate on resisting gravity and climbing smoothly.

The most insidious one is the spirit-consuming formation. As long as the formation is running and the breeze blows gently, the spiritual energy in everyone's body will slowly and continuously drain away.

Once the spiritual energy is exhausted, it is naturally impossible to continue climbing!

These three formations combined with each other exerted influence on tens of thousands of warriors at the same time, making the difficulty of climbing more than ten times higher!
