As time passed, the queue grew longer and longer, and many people were already far behind Liu Wuxie.
He was still unhurried and unhurried. The people he passed were all sweating profusely from exhaustion. There was not even a drop of sweat on Liu Wuxie's face, which was really weird.
Along the way, Le Yao recorded everyone's performance as assessment data. He didn't notice Liu Wuxie at first.
Two hours later, I finally noticed that Liu Wuxie's steps seemed to have been measured, with the same size and consistent steps. Even she probably couldn't do this.
After two hours of traveling, several echelons have been separated. The first echelon has about 200 people. They are very strong and relaxed. From time to time, they can hear loud laughter.
Liu Wuxie is almost at the end of the first echelon, and there is a vague tendency to surpass them.
Not long after the second hour, the pressure suddenly increased greatly, the previous comments disappeared, and the pressure was already approaching five times.
It is equivalent to carrying five of you on your back. You may be able to cover a distance of 100 meters, but there are still several miles to go before the end. The pressure behind you will only get stronger and stronger.
Along the way, people kept stopping and sitting down cross-legged to regain their energy.
Liu Wuxie has seen many sect assessments, most of which use the gifted crystal ball to test your martial arts potential. Only when you meet the test standards can you pass the assessment.
This is the first time I have encountered this time-consuming and labor-intensive testing method.
It took one hour to walk the ten-mile long street at normal speed. At first, everyone didn't take it seriously, thinking that the first test was the easiest to pass.
As time went on, some people gave up on the assessment and sat there, waiting for the three hours to end.
The steps are consistent without any changes. Liu Wuxie must get first place before he can enter Yanyang Cave to practice.
Only entering the Yanyang Cave to practice would be in line with his purpose of joining the Imperial Academy, to absorb more resources and strive to achieve breakthroughs in cultivation.
The three hours are getting closer and closer, Liu Wuxie has caught up with the first echelon, and the speed of those in front has slowed down significantly, including Bai Yu from Pingling City and Yu Yifan from Huacheng, whose speed is much slower than before.
The pressure has approached ten times. Under such high-intensity suppression, it is not only a test for the physical body, but also for the soul.
The last mile is the most difficult one. The terrifying soul power crushes them down, and many people move forward with their heads covered.
"It's getting more and more interesting. Originally I didn't have high expectations for the Imperial Academy, but I underestimated them." Liu Wuxie said secretly.
The first level of assessment seems to be the easiest, but it is actually the most difficult level.
This is not just an assessment of the physical body. The soul is not mellow enough, and it still cannot survive the last mile. Facing the tyrannical crushing of soul power, the will of those with weak souls will collapse instantly.
Cultivation is also about cultivating the mind. If a person's heart is not strong enough, his path to martial arts is destined to be limited.
"Isn't this kid the one who was threatened by Tianmu College? Why is he so fast?" More and more people were surpassed by Liu Wuxie.
There is still more than half an hour left before the end, and if 500 people can successfully reach the finish line, it is probably the limit.
Ignoring the pointing fingers from both sides, Liu Wuxie still maintained the same speed and pace.
With every step he takes, the ground will produce a strange fluctuation. This fluctuation is perfectly consistent with the surrounding world. In other words, Liu Wuxie can't feel any pressure when walking on the street, and he can't follow the formation.
Already integrated into one.
There are fewer and fewer people in front, only a dozen or so, and we can already see the end point. The huge four-character Imperial Academy is like a blazing sun, shining for thousands of miles.
At this speed, Liu Wuxie could basically complete the first level of the assessment half an hour ahead of schedule.
Every step he took, Liu Wuxie would attract a large number of eyes, and many seventh-level innate people were left behind by him. This was so illogical.
Gradually, even the Xiantian Ninth Level was far away from Liu Wuxie.
Sudden!
Two intense gazes came straight towards Liu Wuxie, with some malicious intent in their gazes.
There were only two people left in front, Bai Yu and Yu Yifan. The two were almost neck and neck, chasing each other, and no one was willing to give up the fight for first place.
According to the practice of previous years, winning first place will not only receive a large number of rewards, but may even be accepted as a disciple by a well-known mentor.
Originally there were only two people fighting over each other, but suddenly another person appeared. No wonder he cast a malicious look.
Ignoring the two of them, Liu Wuxie continued to walk forward, gradually closing the distance. After ten breaths, the three of them stood on the same line.
"This is impossible. It must be cheating. How could he have reached the fifth level of innateness so quickly?"
Various shouts came from not far behind. Several of the ninth-level innate people were very unbalanced. It was a shame to be surpassed by the small innate fifth-level people.
"I suggest a thorough investigation to see how this kind of garbage could be ranked first."
At first, one or two people felt unbalanced, like a spark that started a prairie fire, which ignited more people's hatred towards Liu Wuxie. There were hundreds of innate sixth-level, seventh-level, eighth-level, and even ninth-level geniuses who were surpassed by Liu Wuxie.
In their hearts, they cannot accept this result.
Le Yao was taking notes all the time. The sudden shout caught her attention and she did not give any explanation. She knew very well that Liu Wuxie did not cheat, but relied on her own strength to walk step by step.
Until now.
"Look, he has surpassed Bai Yu and Yu Yifan and is close to the finish line!"
Waves of exclamations spread throughout the ten-mile long street. In this year's first test, is the first place going to be taken away by the fifth level of Xiantian?
In the last few hundred meters, the pressure was close to ten times. Liu Wuxie's pace slowed down slightly, just a little. As for the pressure of the soul, it did not exist.
On the contrary, Bai Yu followed Yu Yifan. Every step he took was extremely difficult. The overwhelming soul power crushed them, giving them a splitting headache, like countless sharp thorns piercing their minds.
Xue Pinzhi stood at the finish line with a sneer on his lips.
Taking firm steps, Liu Wuxie finally crossed the finish line in two and a half hours.
Compared with previous years, this speed is not the fastest, but Liu Wuxie is definitely the lowest in terms of level.
Just after he crossed the finish line, a terrifying murderous intention went straight towards Liu Wuxie, trying to devour him.
He frowned, he was new here and he hadn't offended anyone, so why was he so hostile to him?
The geniuses who were being assessed were at most somewhat hostile to him and had no murderous intent. The young man standing in front of him had no concealment of the murderous intent in his eyes, as if he was telling Liu Wuxie that you are dead.
Ignoring it, the assessment time was not over yet. Liu Wuxie walked aside, sat on the grass, took out a handful of Yuanyang Pills and Tianling Pills and swallowed them to restore his true energy.
Xue Pinzhi glanced at Liu Wuxie as if looking at a dead person. When the assessment was over, it would be his death.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Yu and Yu Yifan crossed the finish line. The pressure suddenly disappeared, and the two of them staggered and almost fell down.
It was as if he felt a little uncomfortable with the sudden weightlessness. After stabilizing his body, he also walked to the side and sat down cross-legged.
This made the two of them hate Liu Wuxie even more. When Liu Wuxie came out just now, the wind was light and the clouds were calm, and he didn't feel any discomfort in his body.
Just like the halo of genius, when provoked by others, he is still a little ant.
Time passed quietly, and people kept coming out of the ten-mile long street. Before everyone came out, they would glance at Liu Wuxie.
"What a hell. I have read all the assessment materials of the Imperial College over the years. In the first level of assessment, most of them were taken by the Spirit Cleansing Realm or the Peak Innate Realm."
A young man has complicated eyesight. Many big families will study the Imperial College's annual assessment data as a reference.
Hundreds of people had gathered in front of the gate of Imperial College, chatting non-stop.
"The assessment time is over and those who have completed the first level, please follow me into the Imperial Academy and take the second level assessment tomorrow."
After Le Yao announced the end of the assessment, those who failed to pass lay on the ground howling and crying, especially those who were just a few steps away.
This is the Imperial College assessment, which is extremely cruel and devoid of any humane feelings.
"Wait a moment!"
Xue Pinzhi suddenly interrupted Le Yao, and hundreds of eyes looked at him with curiosity on their faces.
"Senior Brother Xue, do you have anything else to announce?"
Le Yao frowned slightly, the entire assessment was completed under the supervision of the two of them, and there were no mistakes.
"Junior sister Le Yao, this person is so audacious that he dared to cheat on the imperial college examination. I want to deprive him of his quota as a warning to others."
Xue Pinzhi still doesn't know Liu Wuxie's true identity and the contents of Xue Dingtian's letter, preventing Liu Wuxie from joining the Imperial Academy and killing him if there is a chance.
As long as Liu Wuxie is prevented from joining the Imperial Academy, the task assigned by the family head will be basically completed.
Liu Wuxie suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Xue Pinzhi, with a hint of understanding in his eyes.
When Le Yao called him Senior Brother Xue just now, she had already guessed his identity.
"Brother Xue, do you have any evidence? He cheated on the spot!"
Le Yao looked displeased. The ten-mile long street has been built for hundreds of years without any mistakes.
Everyone looked at Liu Wuxie with schadenfreude. Bai Yu and Yu Yifan looked at each other, and a smile flashed from the depths of each other's eyes.
Only by depriving Liu Wuxie of first place would they have a chance to get all the rewards.
"Junior sister Le Yao, this person is only a fifth-level innate person. Do you think this kind of trash can reach the finish line first without cheating?"
Xue Pinzhi scoffed, showing a sarcastic smile.
This question troubled everyone present, including Le Yao. It was really weird to be the first to reach the finish line with the fifth level of innateness, but she was convinced that Liu Wuxie did not cheat.
“Severely punish cheaters!”
There were shouts from all directions, suggesting severe punishment for cheaters.
"Expelled from Imperial College, this kind of person should be killed on the spot."
Liu Wuxie was alone. In everyone's opinion, he did not have a profound background. Even if he killed such a person, he would not attract too many people's attention.
More and more people joined the crusade to punish Liu Wuxie.
"Boy, you dare to cheat on the Imperial Academy exam. Are you impatient? Now you are destructing your cultivation. I can forget about it, deprive you of the assessment qualification, and get out of the Imperial Academy."
Xue Pinzhi's gaze was like a poisonous thorn, shooting at Liu Wuxie, forcing him to abandon his cultivation and get out of here.
Under the gaze of everyone, Liu Wuxie stood up slowly, and then looked at Xue Pinzhi with a playful look on his face: "You are from the Xue family, right? Xue Dingtian sent you here, or Xue Yu asked you to do this."
