Although Zishuihan's face was covered by a layer of gauze, her eyes were like a stream of autumn water, agile and clear, and she looked directly in the direction of Lin Che.
"Discovered..."
Lin Che had no idea that the heir to the Zi family's perception would be so sharp, and she would detect her as soon as she probed her mental power. In order to prevent the other party from misunderstanding that she was deliberately offending and causing unnecessary trouble,
Lin Che also quickly took back her mental power.
At this time, Zishuihan's eyes were fixed on Lin Che, and when he saw the young man with his eyes covered with a layer of black, a strange color appeared in his eyes.
But then, she didn't make any move. She just stayed on Lin Che for a moment and then turned her gaze away. The expression on her face remained as calm as water, as if nothing could affect her inner peace.
Feeling this scene, Lin Che breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Yun Mohan on the side suddenly said: "In Qingzhou, the heritage of an ancient family is unimaginable. I didn't expect that today, there would be descendants of three ancient families coming to participate in the assessment of Tianxia Sword Sect. This was not the case in previous years.
It’s not common either…”
"Besides, with the current strength of these three people, even if they have not passed the examination, they are probably stronger than some genius disciples who have been practicing for many years in the Tianxia Sword Sect. Therefore, there is basically no suspense for them to pass the examination.
"
Lin Che nodded slightly. From Yun Mohan's words, it was not difficult to tell that the quality of the geniuses participating in the Tianxia Sword Sect assessment this year was far higher than in previous years. This can be seen from the fact that three descendants of the ancient family appeared at the same time.
Because of this, after the assessment begins, the competition will be much more intense than in previous years.
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, a sound of breaking through the sky suddenly came from the sky.
Immediately afterwards, an old man in green clothes, with a giant sword emitting green light under his feet, galloped from the sky and quickly landed in the sky above this area.
The old man glanced at the crowd below and said in a strong voice: "I am a deacon of the outer courtyard of Tianxia Sword Sect. I am responsible for the assessment of Tianxia Sword Sect today. You can call me Deacon Xuanguang."
The aura displayed by this old man in green is quite tyrannical and has definitely reached the middle level of the Zifu realm. Compared with it, the peak combat power of some powerful families is probably no more than this.
However, his identity is only a deacon of the outer courtyard of the Tianxia Sword Sect. People have to sigh that the Tianxia Sword Sect has a profound foundation and is worthy of being the number one force in Qingzhou.
At this time, Deacon Xuanguang said again: "The reason why you are gathered here today is probably to pass the examination and enter the World Sword Sect to practice, so I won't talk nonsense... Look in that direction."
As he spoke, Deacon Xuanguang pointed in one direction.
Immediately afterwards, everyone's eyes followed him, and they saw that the direction he pointed was a valley area, but in this valley, there was a thick layer of clouds and fog, making it impossible for people to see it.
The scene in the valley.
"The clouds disperse!" Suddenly, Deacon Xuanguang let out a soft drink, and then the clouds and mist covering the valley receded like the tide as if they had spirituality.
At this moment, in everyone's field of vision, appeared
A wide white stone staircase.
That stone staircase was built against a cliff, with a total of 999 steps. Each step seemed to be made of white jade, shrouded in a hazy haze of light, which made people
He looked shocked.
Deacon Xuanguang said: "This white jade stone ladder, called the Pilgrimage Stairway, is a historic site of the Tianxia Sword Sect. It is filled with this coercion, and the higher you climb, the stronger the coercion will be...
The content of this assessment is to ask you to climb this ladder to heaven. Only those who have climbed to more than 600 steps are qualified to pass the assessment."
Pilgrimage ladder.
After hearing Deacon Xuanguang's words, everyone present became excited.
Many people even secretly rejoiced. They originally thought that the test set by the World Sword Sect, which was such a powerful force, must be extremely harsh.
But I didn’t expect that the assessment method of the World Sword Sect would be so simple. As long as you can climb the 600 stone stairs, you can pass the assessment of the World Sword Sect?
Of course, there were also some relatively powerful people who frowned secretly.
Because, even though they were so far apart, they could still faintly feel the pressure on the ladder, coming like a tide. This gave them a premonition that it might not be possible to climb the 600-step stone ladder.
It's as simple as imagined.
At the same time, Deacon Xuanguang continued: "Remember, although you can pass the test by climbing 600 steps, you should try not to have any reservations, because the higher you climb on this ladder, the more you can prove your ability.
The potential will be of great benefit to you when you enter the sect in the future... In addition, this
The top ten who climb the ladder for the first time will be directly rewarded by the sect. As for the contents of the rewards, they will be kept secret for the time being, but they will definitely not disappoint you."
award.
Hearing this, some geniuses present who had strong confidence in themselves couldn't help but their eyes lit up.
The rewards given by the Tianxia Sword Sect were naturally extraordinary, which also strengthened their determination to hit the top ten.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Deacon Xuanguang nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "If you have no other questions, I will announce now that the assessment has begun!"
"Wow——"
As soon as the old man said this, someone immediately rushed out of the crowd, trying to seize the opportunity and rush towards the pilgrimage ladder.

"I originally thought that the assessment of the World Sword Sect would be a martial arts showdown. In that case, with my level, it might not be possible to stand out... But I didn't expect that today's assessment would actually involve climbing a stone ladder. So as long as I am fast enough, first
If you reach the finish line in one step, wouldn’t you have a chance to enter the top ten?”
At this time, a young man wearing a blue robe was the first to reach the bottom of the pilgrimage ladder.
His realm was only at the seventh level of Xiantian. In the current area where geniuses gathered, his realm was not considered top-notch. However, because his reaction was fast enough, he was the first to rush out as soon as Deacon Xuanguang finished speaking.
He glanced around, and when he saw that he was the first to arrive, he immediately let out a proud laugh, and then without hesitation, he began to attack upwards.
At first, the reality was just as he expected. In the first two hundred steps, he was far ahead and still at the forefront.
But after reaching the 250th level, he suddenly felt that the pressure around him was getting heavier and heavier, causing his pace to gradually slow down.
But when the man in blue robe climbed to the 370th step, he could no longer move forward. His feet seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, and his body seemed to be carrying a huge mountain on his back, causing his back to bend.
During this period, there were already people who were more advanced than him and passed by him, although the speed of these people also became extremely slow after reaching this height.
"How...how could this happen?"
The young man in blue robe had a look of extreme unwillingness on his face. He gritted his teeth and wanted to continue climbing up.
But this time, he had just taken half a step when a strong pressure fell from above, like a white chain, hitting the blue-robed young man hard.
"Bang!"
The young man in blue robe spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his body was like a kite with its string broken. He was knocked away from the pilgrimage ladder and fell hard to the ground below.
"This person, after all, is at the seventh level of the innate realm, but he has only climbed to the 370th level!"
Seeing this scene, there was an exclamation of surprise from below.
Deacon Xuanguang glanced at the figure of the young man in blue robe, shook his head slightly, and said: "I need to remind you that if you are not capable, you must not force yourself, otherwise you will be like him and be in danger of serious injury.
"
Hearing this, everyone's expressions became extremely solemn.
At the same time, Yun Mohan frowned and said to Lin Che and Yun Yun: "According to this,
If you want to climb the 600-step stone staircase and pass this test, I'm afraid it won't be an easy task for a genius who has entered the realm of Zifu, so you two should be more careful."
"Yeah." Lin Che and Yun Yun nodded at the same time.
Immediately, the two of them prepared to walk towards the pilgrimage ladder.
But at this moment, Lin Che suddenly frowned, as if she could faintly feel a sharp gaze being cast in their direction.
Yun Mohan seemed to have sensed it. He glanced there and said in a deep voice, "It's Qin Juechen from Beimo County."
Not far away, Qin Juechen stood with his hands behind his hands, standing at the front of a group of young warriors from Beimo County, looking high-spirited. At this time, he glanced around, and after seeing the figures of Yun Yun and others,
A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
However, although Qin Juechen saw Yun Yun and others, he did not say anything, but his eyes contained a cold and stern look.
"Walk."
Then, he waved his hand and directly led a group of warriors from Beimo County towards the Pilgrimage Stairway.
"No, it seems that he has not forgotten the conflict that occurred in the past two days. When you take the assessment, you must be wary of this person." Yun Mohan looked extremely solemn and reminded Yun Yun and Lin Che.
"This guy is really a person who will retaliate for his anger." Lin Che shook her head helplessly. He originally just wanted to pass the assessment safely, but judging from the current situation, after boarding the pilgrimage ladder, he really doesn't know.
what happens.
Yun Yun's face looked a little pale. It was easy to see from her expression that facing the situation in front of her, she was obviously also behind.
I regret my impulsive actions that day.
"Miss Yun, when you are worried about the assessment, will Qin Juechen look for trouble for you?"
At this moment, a magnetic voice suddenly came.
Immediately, a figure as gentle as jade walked slowly in this direction with steady steps. That figure was Mu Tianxuan.
Behind Mu Tianxuan, there were also a large number of young men and women from Pingyang County, surrounding Mu Tianxuan like stars holding the moon.
"Mr. Mu." Yun Yun looked at the figure that suddenly appeared, a slight wave of emotion flashed in her eyes.
Mu Tianxuan smiled and said: "Miss Yun, I made a promise to you two days ago... If Miss Yun is really worried that Qin Juechen will find trouble for you, you can follow him when he climbs the ladder.
My right and left."
"What, Master Mu Tianxuan actually... took the initiative to extend an invitation to a woman."
Although the Tian Xia Sword Sect's recruitment ceremony was full of geniuses this time, Mu Tianxuan and Qin Juechen were definitely the focus of everyone's attention.
To put it simply, in everyone's perception, the strength of these two people should be second only to the three descendants of the ancient family.
Naturally, with the reputations of Mu Tianxuan and Qin Juechen, they must have a large number of admirers among the younger generation in Qingzhou.
At this moment, seeing Mu Tianxuan extending an invitation to a woman, many young women looked at Yun Yun with unabashed envy.
"What is the origin of this woman that can actually make Mu Tianxuan invite her..."
"It's so enviable. Being able to follow Mr. Mu and climb the ladder to heaven will definitely reduce the pressure you bear... So I think
