14: Stunningly beautiful girl

"The second round of the assessment begins now."

"The mountain peak on the left is our Heavenly Origin Palace's Heaven Peak. Now, everyone will begin climbing Heaven Peak. The first two thousand people to reach the summit will become Heavenly Origin Palace Outer Sect Disciples, while the others will be eliminated."

"Begin now," the middle-aged Elder said in a loud and clear voice.

As soon as the middle-aged Elder finished speaking, the ten thousand-plus youths participating in the assessment rushed toward Heaven Peak one after another, full of excitement and anticipation.

One must realize there were over ten thousand people here! Yet, there were only a mere two thousand slots. Therefore, everyone rushed toward Heaven Peak like madmen, all hoping in their hearts to be one of the first two thousand to reach the summit.

At that moment, the people who had started climbing first all suddenly fell flat on the ground.

This was because an invisible pressure had suddenly and without warning enveloped everyone, making it difficult for them to move even a single step.

After observing carefully, Yang Lingchen could see that a massive Pressure Formation had been set up on this Heaven Peak. It could suppress everyone's cultivation level to the same Realm; in the end, whoever had firmer willpower would be able to climb faster.

The moment Yang Lingchen stepped onto Heaven Peak, he felt as if a thousand-jin boulder was pressing down on him. If he hadn't been prepared beforehand, he likely would have been instantly pressed to the ground as well.

Heaven Peak towered into the clouds, and the higher one climbed, the greater the pressure became.

If someone's willpower was not firm enough, it would be absolutely impossible to climb up.

Fortunately, Yang Lingchen's Physical Body strength was quite decent.

Moreover, his willpower far exceeded that of ordinary people, so compared to others, he was clearly much more at ease.

The scale of Heaven Peak was extremely vast; even if tens of thousands of people climbed simultaneously, it wouldn't have the slightest impact.

At this time, the young men and women climbing Heaven Peak were all exerting their full strength, using every means at their disposal to struggle toward the summit. Even though they were already drenched in sweat, not a single person chose to give up.

After a period of adjustment, Yang Lingchen gradually increased his speed.

As his speed increased, he left opponents far behind one by one, and soon he rushed into the second-place position.

"Holy crap! This chick is too fast!"

Yang Lingchen thought to himself in surprise, a hint of astonishment in his eyes, because the person ranked ahead of him was actually an Exquisitely Beautiful Young Lady with a cute face and a large chest.

This cute girl's speed was astonishingly fast; even with Yang Lingchen's speed, it was difficult to catch up for a while.

"These two little kids have decent talent."

At the same time, at the top of Heaven Peak, several Outer Sect Elders also showed expressions of great surprise.

It was mainly because the speeds of Yang Lingchen and that cute girl were truly too fast, having already left the others far behind.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed. Through Yang Lingchen's unremitting efforts, he finally caught up with the cute girl and climbed side-by-side with her.

"Holy shit, with them being so big, she can still run this fast?"

Just then, Yang Lingchen inadvertently glanced at the girl's chest.

Of course, this was just a man's normal reaction and didn't mean he was particularly lecherous. Because that area of hers was simply too eye-catching, he couldn't help but steal another glance out of instinct.

"scoundrel, what are you looking at? Haven't you seen them this big before? If you want to look so badly, why don't you go back and look at your mother's!"

The cute girl shouted delicately, her chubby, pretty face looking even cuter because of her anger.

"Cough, cough..." Yang Lingchen coughed lightly, momentarily rendered speechless by the retort.

However, he didn't continue to peek at her. Although it was eye-pleasing, being caught red-handed was indeed very embarrassing.

Yang Lingchen quickly increased his speed and continued to climb upward, gradually surpassing the cute girl.

"What kind of freak is this kid? He's actually faster than This Young Lady?" the girl muttered to herself, quickly increasing her speed to catch up with Yang Lingchen again.

"Hey, Stinky brat, why are you so fast?" the voluptuous girl asked curiously.

"You're not slow either!" Yang Lingchen glanced back at the voluptuous girl.

"scoundrel, you're still looking! Believe it or not, This Young Lady will gouge out your eyeballs?" the girl said huffily, her expression looking quite cute.

"I really didn't mean it. Who told you to be so well-endowed? I just caught a glimpse by accident," Yang Lingchen quickly explained, as he truly hadn't done it on purpose.

"Hmph, then why are you so fast!" the cute girl continued to press.

"Then why are yours so big!" Yang Lingchen quipped half-jokingly.

"scoundrel, how dare you tease This Young Lady!"

The girl gave a delicate shout and then struck out with a palm. A sharp Palm Force, carrying an invisible wave of Qi, swept toward Yang Lingchen.

"Little Tiger Girl, you have quite a fiery temper! Attacking without a word."

Yang Lingchen smiled faintly and quickly used his Movement Technique to nimbly dodge, while also striking back with a palm of his own.

In the blink of an eye, over a dozen moves passed. Yang Lingchen became more and more alarmed as they fought. "What kind of freak is this Tiger Girl? How can her strength be so terrifying?"

Yang Lingchen was quite confident in his Combat Power. Within the same Realm, he didn't think he was inferior to anyone.

He hadn't expected that with the girl he met today, he would be somewhat unable to suppress her while at the same Realm.

"How is this scoundrel's strength so high?" The cute girl was equally shocked in her heart.

From the time she was born until now, she had never lost at the same Realm. She hadn't expected that in this tiny Heavenly Origin Palace, there would actually be someone who could contend with her at the same Realm.

"This won't do. This Tiger Girl's strength is too great. If we keep fighting, even if I win, it will likely be a pyrrhic victory."

Thinking of this, Yang Lingchen's figure flashed as he dodged a palm strike from her, and then he quickly climbed toward the summit.

"scoundrel, if you have the guts, don't run! This Young Lady will definitely castrate you today!" the girl shouted delicately and then quickly gave chase.

"What the hell? This chick is like a powder keg. I didn't even do anything to her!"

Yang Lingchen had a helpless look on his face. He didn't want to waste time here; after all, the assessment was still ongoing.

In the blink of an eye, five hours passed. After five hours of strenuous climbing, Yang Lingchen and the cute girl reached the summit of Heaven Peak one after the other.

"Congratulations on becoming Outer Sect Disciples of the Heavenly Origin Palace."

Outer Sect Elder Wang Xuanfeng nodded with satisfaction. He was very pleased with these two young people before him.

Yang Lingchen and the girl registered one after another and received their Outer Sect Disciple Identity Tokens.

At this time, Yang Lingchen finally learned the girl's name: Feng Xueqing.

"scoundrel, don't let This Young Lady catch an opportunity, or I'll definitely castrate you." Feng Xueqing glared at Yang Lingchen with a fierce but cute look, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of ferocity.

This time, Yang Lingchen wisely did not respond. He didn't want to provoke this Tiger Girl further.

About a few more hours passed, and only then did people start reaching the summit one after another.

Ultimately, the top two thousand young men and women passed the assessment and received their Outer Sect Identity Tokens.

Yang Lingchen looked around, but among these two thousand people, he didn't see Han Ruoxue's figure.

Immediately after, he turned his gaze to the group of eliminated people and finally found a dejected Han Ruoxue among them.

Yang Lingchen withdrew his gaze. Since Han Ruoxue had been eliminated, they wouldn't have any intersection in the future.

As for those who were eliminated, the Heavenly Origin Palace would send them back to their original cities.

At this time, Outer Sect Elder Wang Xuanfeng walked over and said, "Now all the new Disciples have received their respective Identity Tokens. However, I have a few things to remind everyone of."

"First, the Identity Token is the symbol of your status in the Heavenly Origin Palace and cannot be lent to others at will."

"Second, besides recording your identity information, the Identity Token also records your contribution points in the Heavenly Origin Palace."

"Third, since you are all new Disciples, you should take a good look at this Tianyuan Manual. It records the palace rules as well as various information about the Sect."

After some inquiry, Yang Lingchen learned that in the Heavenly Origin Palace, if one wanted to obtain Cultivation Techniques, Medicinal Pills, and cultivation resources, they all needed to be exchanged for with contribution points.

The source of contribution points was doing missions. After all, the Sect was not a charity; to support so many Disciples, it certainly required them to perform missions and make contributions to the Sect.

Outer Sect Disciples did not have masters. Every day, an Elder from the Heavenly Origin Palace would teach everyone to Cultivate at the Outer Sect square.

As for new Disciples, they could only receive some basic Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills. As for more Advanced Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills, they would need to perform missions to exchange for them.

Under the arrangement of the Deacons, all the new Disciples were assigned to their respective residences. These residences for new Disciples were very small, just a tiny room.
