735: Amazing willpower
The first round of testing continued, and soon it was the turn of Huang Ruoyu and her brother.
"Huang Ruoyu, age 999, cultivation level Third Layer of Profound Immortal Realm, qualified."
"Huang Ruochen, age 696, cultivation level Third Layer of Profound Immortal Realm, qualified."
As the names of Huang Ruoyu and her brother were called, it caused quite a sensation at the scene again.
"Yang Lingchen, age 50, cultivation level First Layer of Profound Immortal Realm, qualified."
When Yang Lingchen's name was listed, the scene exploded like a pot, and shock appeared on everyone's faces.
"Damn it, there are too many Geniuses in this Grand Competition! This kid is only fifty years old."
"Although this kid is young, his cultivation level is really too low. If no Elder steps forward to take him as a Disciple, it is almost impossible for him to enter the top two thousand in the Grand Competition with his cultivation level."
"That's right. To enter the top two thousand of the Grand Competition, one needs at least the Combat Power of the Fourth Layer of Profound Immortal Realm. With his cultivation level at the First Layer of Profound Immortal Realm, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to defeat someone at the Fourth Layer of Profound Immortal Realm."
At this moment, the scene was buzzing with discussion. Everyone was shocked by Yang Lingchen's youth, but not many people were optimistic about his performance in the Tianxin Grand Competition.
Although many people were not optimistic about Yang Lingchen, he still attracted the attention of many Elders of Tianxin Academy. After all, if such a young person were taken into Tianxin Academy, his future prospects would be immeasurable.
Of course, this was just their preliminary assessment of Yang Lingchen. If Yang Lingchen could not meet their requirements in the subsequent tests, they still would not come forward to take him as an apprentice.
At this moment, Yang Lingchen suddenly felt a chilling Killing Intent. He hurriedly looked up and saw Zhang Wuhen looking at him coldly from not far away. That sharp gaze seemed to want to pierce through him.
"Why does this guy look so familiar?"
Yang Lingchen frowned, then suddenly realized, and secretly said: "Damn it, this guy is actually from Zhang Xinchen's Family. It seems the other party has already discovered that I killed Zhang Xinchen."
At this moment, Yang Lingchen's face became extremely ugly. He knew that the other party must have discovered that he had killed Zhang Xinchen through some means.
"Yang Lingchen, what's wrong with you?" At this time, Huang Ruoyu also noticed the abnormality in Yang Lingchen's expression.
"I'm fine." Yang Lingchen calmed his mood and said.
"You don't have to worry. With your strength, it is very easy to enter Tianxin Academy."
Huang Ruoyu comforted him. In her view, Yang Lingchen might be under great pressure, which was why his face looked so bad.
"Don't worry, Senior Sister Huang, I won't be under pressure."
Yang Lingchen smiled and said. He said to himself: "Damn it, you'd better not provoke me, otherwise I will wipe out your entire Family."
Soon, the first round of testing completely ended. More than 20,000 people participated in the test, and 99% of them entered the second round. Only a few people were eliminated because their age exceeded the limit.
"The second round is a perseverance test."
Lei Zhennan stood out again, holding a pagoda-shaped Secret Treasure in his hand, and said: "Next, the Profound Spirit Pagoda will release pressure. Anyone who can advance one hundred meters under the pressure of the Profound Spirit Pagoda will be able to enter the final round."
"Those with low cultivation levels don't need to worry, because the pressure of the Profound Spirit Pagoda is released according to each person's cultivation level. In other words, whether you are at the Seventh Layer of Profound Immortal Realm or the First Layer of Profound Immortal Realm, the intensity of the pressure you face is the same. The higher the cultivation level, the greater the pressure."
As Lei Zhennan's voice fell, the Profound Spirit Pagoda instantly turned into a towering giant tower. A terrifying energy pressure radiated from it, instantly enveloping everyone.
With the fall of this terrifying pressure, all more than 20,000 young people at the scene were pressed to the ground without exception.
"Damn it." Yang Lingchen was stunned. He had already prepared himself, but he did not expect that under this pressure, he was still pressed to the ground.
Soon Yang Lingchen adjusted. He constantly operated the Undying Golden Body Art to resist this terrifying pressure.
As the Undying Golden Body Art circulated, the pressure on his body gradually decreased, and he struggled to climb up.
And at the moment Yang Lingchen climbed up, Yun Mengyao, Yuwen Chengfeng, and Zhang Wuhen also climbed up at the same time.
"This kid really has astonishing perseverance! He actually climbed up earlier than Zhang Wuhen and Yuwen Chengfeng."
"This guy's perseverance is indeed good. In terms of perseverance, he and Yun Mengyao should be considered at the same level. Yuwen Chengfeng and Zhang Wuhen are obviously slightly inferior to them."
"Yes! But in the upcoming actual combat test, his ranking shouldn't be very high."
"That's true. With his cultivation level, I'm afraid it's difficult to enter the top two thousand."
The moment Yang Lingchen climbed up, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone was expressing their own opinions.
Not long after Yang Lingchen and others climbed up, Huang Ruoyu and her brother followed closely behind.
Although they only needed to walk one hundred meters forward, at this time, this distance of one hundred meters was like a road to Hell for these young people taking the test, making every step extremely difficult.
At this time, Yang Lingchen had only walked ten meters, but his whole body was already soaked with sweat. He was panting hard, enduring the huge pressure, and slowly moving forward.
Although Yang Lingchen was moving very slowly, the others were no better. Except for Yun Mengyao, whose speed was consistent with Yang Lingchen, Yuwen Chengfeng and Zhang Wuhen had only walked seven meters, Huang Ruochen had walked five meters, and Huang Ruoyu had walked four meters.
As for the others, most of them had only walked one or two meters, and many were still lying on the ground, finding it very difficult to even climb up.
Yang Lingchen moved forward under the pressure. What surprised him was that Yun Mengyao could keep pace with him the whole time.
"This woman's willpower is really strong." Yang Lingchen thought to himself, and accelerated his speed.
"What kind of freak is this kid? His willpower is so formidable." Seeing Yang Lingchen walking side by side with her, a look of surprise flashed in Yun Mengyao's eyes.
All along, among the same Realm, whether it was talent or willpower, she had never admired anyone. But today, Yang Lingchen made her look at him with admiration, because Yang Lingchen was not only younger than her, but his willpower was not weaker than hers at all. The only advantage she had was that her cultivation level was higher than Yang Lingchen's.
Yang Lingchen did not pay too much attention to others. At this time, he was operating the Undying Golden Body Art, walking forward against the huge pressure.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye. At this time, Yang Lingchen had walked ninety meters, becoming the well-deserved first place.
Ranked second was Yun Mengyao, who had walked eighty-five meters at this time.
Zhang Wuhen and Yuwen Chengfeng were tied for third place, both having walked sixty meters.
Ranked fourth was actually Huang Ruochen, who had walked forty-five meters, and ranked fifth was his sister Huang Ruoyu, who had walked forty meters.
"It's time to temper my Physical Body."
Just at this moment, Yang Lingchen suddenly slowed down his speed, and at the same time stopped activating the Undying Golden Body Art, instead using only his physical strength to resist this terrifying pressure.
The reason he did this was mainly to temper his Physical Body.
Moving forward under this kind of pressure had huge benefits for the tempering of his Physical Body.
Since he was already far ahead, why not slow down and slowly temper his Physical Body?
As for whether he was first or fifth, it was the same for Yang Lingchen, because the final ranking was determined by the actual combat test.
On the contrary, Yang Lingchen cherished this opportunity to temper his Physical Body very much.
As Yang Lingchen slowed down, when he reached the ninety-fifth meter, Yun Mengyao finally caught up.
When Yun Mengyao discovered that Yang Lingchen was using the pressure to temper his Physical Body, she was stunned.
She really didn't expect that under such terrifying pressure, Yang Lingchen could still calmly temper his Physical Body. This kind of terrifying willpower made her develop a trace of interest in this young man.
