"What is that idiot doing in the first stage?"
"I heard it's a guy called Ye Hao. That day during the entrance examination, he had to use some kind of evil technique to increase his strength before he was able to get through. He is just an opportunist."
"This kind of trash can even sneak into an academy …" That fellow couldn't have fainted because of fear from the Sword Sea, right? "
As for those specks of light that had been stuck at the first stage of the trial for the past five days, these senior disciples were the first to inquire about them.
Under the deliberate proclamation of those who had withdrawn from Blood Shadow City's trial, the news of Ye Hao taking the test as a trick quickly spread among the crowd.
It was precisely because of this that all the senior disciples had expressions of disdain on their faces towards Ye Hao, who couldn't even pass the first stage of the trial.
As disciples of the Tianxuan Academy, it could be said that each and every one of them was a dragon among men. Such pride. Although the test of the first stage was difficult, if they were to go all out, they were confident that they could pass.
For someone like Ye Hao, who had been stuck in the first stage for five days, it could be said that in the entire history of Tianxuan Academy, such a person had never appeared before.
In everyone's minds, Ye Hao must have been scared by that vast sea of swords, and at the same time, he was not willing to give up, which was why he had been stuck here for so long.
"..."
Of course, Ye Hao naturally did not know about the mockery and ridicule from the people in the outside world. At this moment, he had already sat on the stone bridge for five whole days, staring at the vast sea of swords above without moving at all.
At a certain moment, he suddenly took a deep breath. It was as if he had gained some sort of enlightenment. As he stood up, he slowly closed his eyes.
In the next moment, Ye Hao's eyes opened. In the depths of his black pupils, two small golden swords appeared and disappeared.
At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten everything as he entered a mysterious realm. His face showed neither joy nor sadness as he slowly walked forward. His body did not dodge at all as he allowed the small swords that were densely packed with sharpness to enter his body.
This scene was extremely strange. Ye Hao's body was like the sea, while those sharp little swords were like raindrops, unable to cause any real harm to him.
If any other trial challenger were to see this scene, they would definitely be scared out of their wits.
This was because there was no doubt about the power of the sharp little sword. Even those who participated in the trial were favored by the heavens, and their strength far surpassed their peers. However, if they were struck by the small sword, it would be like being struck by lightning, and they would find it hard to endure.
If Ye Hao had relied on his movement technique to dodge the attack, even if he was as elegant as Han Yitian, the others would still be able to accept it.
However, the current him was completely ignoring the sword rain that filled the sky. He was walking forward calmly, and it was simply too shocking.
Fortunately, at this time, only Ye Hao was left in the first stage of the trial. No other challengers had seen him.
However, just as he was walking forward while ignoring the rain of swords, in the depths of a verdant bamboo forest within the academy, a youth who had his eyes closed and had no aura fluctuating from his body slowly opened his eyes as if he sensed something.
The young man was only about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, but there was an outdated age within his eyes. It was obvious that he was an old monster that had lived for an unknown amount of time.
At that moment, he opened his eyes and looked at the trial by fire in the distance. His gaze seemed to pierce through the void, and when he saw the scene in the first stage, a strange look appeared in his eyes.
"Interesting …"
In the entire Tianxuan Academy, only he knew the secret to the first stage. Even Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants had yet to tell him the mysteries behind it.
Yet now, a youth who had yet to open his life sea was able to detect a trace of it. This was far beyond his expectations.
After looking into the distance for a while, the young man withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes again. From start to finish, he only said three words.
However, if these words of appreciation were to spread out, it was likely that Tianxuan Academy and even the entire Great Yan Empire would be stirred up into a storm.
This was because the young man in question was the very ancestor who had founded Tianxuan Academy.
He was also the strongest person in the entire Tianxuan Academy who had surpassed the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Gu Shenwei sighed.
"..."
Of course, Ye Hao, who had already passed through the stone bridge, had no way of knowing about all of this.
After stepping onto the other side of the sky, he let out a long breath, his expression burning with unprecedented fervor.
After spending five days, he finally comprehended a trace of the secret attacking technique's mysteries from the vast sea of swords.
"If a cultivator were to be caught off guard, he would likely be severely injured. Ye Hao spoke to himself with a fiery look on his face. Looking back at the gradually disappearing sea of swords, his eyes were filled with emotion.
Although Ye Hao knew that the soul attack art he had learned was only an elementary one, not even twenty percent of the complete soul attack art, it was enough to become his ace attack.
These five days were simply too worth it.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Hao suppressed the excitement in his eyes. He looked at a light door not far away and muttered: "I have been delayed long enough. I will pass this trial as soon as possible."
After muttering to himself, Ye Hao walked straight into the light gate.
At almost the same time, Han Yitian, who was in the third trial, finally broke through to the fourth trial. This caused the surroundings of the stone door in the outside world to be slightly noisy.
"To be able to break through the final barrier on the fifth day, this Han Yitian's potential is indeed extraordinary."
"I just wonder how long he'll be able to stay in the fourth stage."
"If he can hold on for over half an incense stick of time, then his talent can be described as absolutely stunning. Perhaps in the future, he will have the chance to enter the inner courtyard."
At this moment, everyone's attention, including Tang Yun and the others, was fixated on the dot of light in the final stage. No one noticed that the dot of light representing Ye Hao had already appeared in the second stage.
"..."
Passing through the door of light, Ye Hao's vision turned bright after a while.
At this moment, he was standing on an empty space. Not far in front of him was a thick and wide flight of stairs made of bluestone. It emitted a frightening pressure, giving off the feeling that one would not even be able to approach it, much less climb it.
If one's mind was not strong enough, one would not be able to resist kneeling when faced with the bluestone staircase that was filled with an imposing pressure.
"Little bastard, you finally came in …" "Die!"
While Ye Hao was looking at the stairs, a sneer filled with killing intent suddenly exploded nearby.
Immediately after, a figure shrouded in dense blood energy and spirit energy rushed towards him like a fierce tiger, accompanied by an ear-piercing sound of breaking wind as he punched out.
It was actually Wang Teng.
Ye Hao was not the least bit surprised by the sudden appearance of the former. When he had entered this place, he had spread out his Spiritual Sense and discovered that the former was lying in wait.
Ye Hao's eyes were indifferent as he looked at Wang Teng, who was already beside him. He gently pressed his toes on the ground and his body floated forward, dodging the punch.
Boom!
As his punch missed, the violent force from the iron fist smashed a deep crater into the ground.
"Your reaction is quite fast."
Patting the dust off his hands, Wang Teng glared at Ye Hao with his pair of cold eyes and said with a grin, "Little bastard, today, we... It's time to start calculating! "
"So you specifically waited here for five days?" Ye Hao had a strange look on his face.
"Are you surprised?" "As long as I can cripple you, let alone five days, I can even wait for fifty days!"
"I heard it's a guy called Ye Hao. That day during the entrance examination, he had to use some kind of evil technique to increase his strength before he was able to get through. He is just an opportunist."
