Early in the morning, the warm sunlight poured down and entered the room through the window. The scattered spots of light were dazzling and full of vitality.

On the wooden bed in the room, a youth dressed in black was sitting cross-legged without moving. His back was as straight as a pine tree.

At this moment, the blood energy in Ye Hao's body was completely restrained like a repressed volcano.

At some point, it seemed as if he couldn't suppress the pressure any longer. Suddenly, a powerful surge of qi and blood erupted from within him.

Following the sound of the explosion, Ye Hao suddenly opened his black eyes. There seemed to be two streaks of cold lightning flashing through the room, and the Qi and blood in his body seemed to have reached body refining sixth level at this moment.

For the past half month, he had been living in seclusion and cultivating hard. Finally, after spending dozens of Body Refinement Pellets, he had successfully broken through.

To be able to break through from the fifth level of the Body Tempering stage to the sixth level in just half a month, this speed was absolutely astonishing. If others were to find out, their jaws would drop to the floor in shock.

Of course, only Ye Hao knew that the reason why he was able to break through so fast was due to that mysterious drop of blood essence that had greatly increased his physique.

Moreover, with the time spent on cultivation, Ye Hao was also shocked to discover that after the mysterious drop of blood essence had tempered his body and soul, the Blood Refinement Pellets that he could only consume once every few days could now be consumed several times. It was like eating sugar beans, and he didn't have to worry about exploding and dying.

Ye Hao initially thought that after accumulating for four years, nearly two hundred Body Refinement Pellets would be enough for him to cultivate for a period of time.

"Looks like I must enter the Martial Hall today." Ye Hao murmured as he stood up. His eyes looked outside the window at the Ye Family, which was gradually getting noisy.

Today was the day of the Ye Family Martial Hall's assessment.

Regardless of whether it was for the sake of the Ye Peng duo or the cultivation resources of the Martial Hall, he had to pass this examination.

She looked at the teenager who stood as straight as a javelin, and her eyes could not help but reveal a trace of worry. She asked hesitantly: "Young Master, that Martial Hall examination is about to enter the Black Abyss Mountain Range, isn't it too much of a risk?"

"Sister Qingwu, you don't want to see me carry the title of good-for-nothing all my life, right?"

Seeing the worry in the young girl's eyes, Ye Hao smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, you won't trust my strength."

At his current realm, not only had he recovered to his peak condition, but his physique had also greatly increased under the baptism of the mysterious essence blood. Right now, his combat strength was far superior to before.

Even if he entered the outskirts of the Black Abyss Mountain Range, he still had the power to protect himself.

"Young master, then you … You must be careful, if not, quickly retreat. With the Patriarch here, no one would dare to say anything! " Qingwu sighed in her heart, her beautiful face still filled with worry.

Since she was young, she had been together with Ye Hao. Naturally, she knew his temper. When it came to matters that she had decided, no matter how others tried to persuade him, it would be useless.

Ye Hao smiled and nodded. He let the girl help him tidy up his clothes and walked out of the house.

"..."

At this time, the Ye Family's martial arts practice field was already filled with noise and clamor. For the annual Martial Hall assessment, every member of the Ye Family took it very seriously.

As a result, the usually vast and spacious training ground was now filled with people. It was extremely crowded, and it could be said that 90% of the members of the Ye family were all gathered here.

On the high platform in front of the Martial Arts Practice Hall, the tall and sturdy Ye Yunfeng was sitting upright with a dignified look on his face. Beside him were three elders. They were the three elders of the Ye family.

These three people were the most powerful people in the entire Ye family other than the leader. At the same time, they were also genuine Dao Soul Realm experts. Even Ye Yunfeng did not dare to slight them.

Below the high platform, a group of young boys and girls were talking to each other. Their bodies were covered in Qi and blood, and they were brimming with energy.

Ye Ying and Ye Peng were among them.

Right now, the aura around Ye Peng's body was even more powerful than before. It seemed as though he was only a step away from breaking through to the 7th level of the Body Tempering stage.

As for Ye Ying, she was tall and had a charming face. Although the blood energy fluctuations around her were slightly weaker than Ye Peng's, she had already reached the sixth level of the Body Tempering stage.

Obviously, she had told Ye Hao that she was about to break through to the Sixth Layer of Body Tempering.

At this moment, the two of them were standing together. Their gazes swept past the crowd from time to time, and soon after, a hint of disappointment flashed past their eyes.

"Humph, it seems like other than being stubborn, that trash isn't too stupid."

He originally wanted to use the opportunity of this Martial Hall assessment to completely eliminate Ye Hao. Who knew that Ye Hao had never appeared before him. In Ye Peng's opinion, the former was obviously aware of the dangers of the Martial Hall assessment and hid away.

However, this did not surprise Ye Peng too much. After all, with Ye Hao's Tempered Body 2nd Layer strength, it was likely that he would die in the Black Abyss Mountain Range without even needing him to do anything.

He didn't believe that Ye Hao would have the same kind of luck as last time.

"His time is up. If he does not participate in this time's assessment, even if he is not kicked out of the Ye Family because of the leader, he should forget about getting any cultivation resources from the family in the future." Ye Ying curled her red lips and sneered.

"As long as he stays in the Ye Family, there will be plenty of chances to get rid of him in the future." Ye Peng sneered and didn't take Ye Hao seriously at all.

This was because Ye Peng was completely confident that if he teamed up with Ye Ying this time, the two of them would definitely be able to pass the test.

When he thought here, his cold eyes couldn't help but burn with passion.

"Cough, cough, calm down."

At this moment, on the high platform, a thin old man with sparse white hair coughed and slowly stood up. His turbid eyes swept across the audience.

Instantly, the clamoring noise on the martial arts practice field quietened down.

"Now, the Ye Clan's annual Martial Hall assessment officially begins. This time, the assessment rules are similar to those of previous years. Go to the outskirts of the Black Abyss Mountain Range. And the demon beast materials that you need this time are … The heart of the wolf. "

Hiss!

The old man had just finished speaking when a sudden intake of breath came from the martial ring. The faces of the youths who were participating in the assessment turned pale, and their expressions suddenly became stiff.

One must know that the wolf had the strength of the sixth level of the Body Tempering stage. Even cultivators at the sixth level of the Body Tempering stage might not be able to defeat it with its physique.

As he thought of this, even the few sixth level Body Tempering clansmen, including Ye Peng, frowned. Those who had yet to reach the sixth level of the Body Tempering stage were already trembling with fear and trepidation in their hearts.

If it wasn't for the second elder in charge of the Martial Hall of the Ye family on the stage, many of the disciples who were taking the exam would have already cursed out loud.

It was simply impossible to complete such a request.

As for the disciples who have reached the age of seventeen this year, they are required to participate in this examination. If they are unable to obtain the heart of the wolf, then they must survive in the outskirts of the Black Abyss Mountain Range for three days.

As the words left his mouth, the clansmen who had completed their years of age looked a little better. If they were only staying in the outskirts of the Black Abyss Mountain Range for three days, the difficulty would be much lower than killing the Green Wood Demon Wolves.

After all, the mountain range that they were heading towards had already been explored by various forces in Black Lake City, unlike the uninhabited areas, which were filled with dangers everywhere.

"Come forward."

As the old man's voice faded, the disciples, other than a few who had reached the age limit, walked up with bitter expressions on their faces. Ye Ying, who was only sixteen this year, followed behind Ye Peng.

Although the examination this time around was a little difficult, with the two of them at the sixth level of the Body Tempering stage, it was not impossible.

Looking at the different faces of the younger generation, the Ye Family's Second Elder slightly nodded his head and said: "The rules are the same as in the previous years, the Martial Hall assessment is a matter of life and death. Two people in a group, helping each other. Start your own party. "

The children of the Ye family were already familiar with these rules. Therefore, before the assessment, most of them had already agreed to go together with each other.

Very soon, the dozens of disciples that were participating in this exam were divided into two groups.

However, after everyone had chosen their companions, the only one left on the scene was a frail and introverted youth. His face was flushed red as he stood there at a loss of what to do.

Seeing that figure, the rest of the people were a bit taken aback. All of them burst out into laughter, and even the old man on the tall stage frowned slightly.

It was clear that the number of people participating in this time's exam was limited. One person was destined to be alone, and this youth named Ye Ze, because of his introverted personality, had not agreed on a good companion with others.

Of course, this kind of situation often happened in the past years. Although it was unfair to be alone, where did all this fairness come from in this world?

Hence, the old man on the stage sighed in his heart and lightly said, "Ye Ze, you can go on alone for this exam."

When the thin teenager heard this, his face darkened. He opened his mouth, but did not dare to refute the elder.

It was also at this moment that a voice suddenly sounded out from the back of the martial arts practice field, causing everyone present to be stunned.

"Second Elder, I'll go with him."

Following the voice, the crowd parted like a tide. Soon after, a tall and slender black-clothed youth with a handsome face walked into the arena.

The person who came was Ye Hao.

After the audience stopped, Ye Hao turned his head and looked at the teenager beside him. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you don't mind, we can go together."

"Leaves..." "Ye Hao?"

Seeing the warm smile on the former's face, Ye Ze was momentarily stunned. A look surfaced in his eyes as he hurriedly nodded his head in excitement and said, "I don't mind, I don't mind!"

He knows that the former's strength is only at the second level of Body Tempering Stage. If it was anyone else, they would probably feel burdened and would rather be alone.

However, Ye Ze did not care about this. That's because he, who is introverted and bashful, felt worse than dead when he was isolated and looked at by the crowd.

That awkward situation was because Ye Hao had helped him break it, so even if Ye Hao's strength was low, he didn't mind a team of two.

Moreover, he himself was at the Tempered Body 4th Layer. Although there was no hope of killing the wolf, as long as his luck wasn't as bad as it could be, he could still protect Ye Hao in the outskirts of the mountain range for three days.

"Hahaha, am I seeing things? It's actually that trash Ye Hao?"

"How did his injury heal so quickly?"

"Pfft, do you still need to say? The chief must have secretly given him spiritual medicine to heal his injuries."

"With his body tempering second level strength, he will undoubtedly die during this assessment. What a fool."

Following Ye Hao's arrival, the entire martial ring had fallen into a dead silence. Suddenly, a burst of laughter broke out. Even Ye Peng and Ye Ying couldn't help but stare blankly for a while. Then, they sneered again and again with ridicule in their eyes.

"Hao'er, what are you fooling around for!"

While everyone was laughing, Ye Yunfeng's face suddenly turned green on the high platform. This caused the people on the martial arts training field to become silent.
