Chapter 004: Ruthlessness

The stone steps are steep and uneven, on both sides is the danger of successive, a little careless will lose their footing and fall.

Walked less than half a day, Wang Lin felt legs like lead, sweating, up and down like difficult to step, when at the foot of the mountain to see, this stone steps trail is not long, but actually walk on it, but found that this trail seems to have no end like, let a person from the bottom of the heart can not help but produce despairing thoughts.

In front of him there are more than a dozen physically strong teenagers, also are panting, slowly climbing. Until now, there hasn’t been a single one that has given up.

Wang Lin gritted his teeth and insisted, he knew that this was his last chance, the eyes of his parents’ expectations had been hovering in his heart, just at this moment, behind him a teenager suddenly trembled under his feet and stepped on the air, his body quickly fell from the side, and his screams of horror suddenly rang out.

“I give up, help!”

Everyone stopped and unanimously looked downward, only to see a flash of dark light, a Heng Yue sect disciple rushed out from somewhere, grabbed the teenager who was in mid-air, and his body gently landed at the foot of the mountain.

Wang Lin’s face was pale and silent as he carefully continued to climb upwards, time rushed by, two days later, the dozen or so teenagers in front of him were no longer visible.

Wang Lin didn’t know exactly how many of these companions had given up, he only knew that he absolutely couldn’t give up, despite the fact that his legs and feet had already been touched with blood blisters, and the piercing stinging pain was coming from the shattered blood blisters at all times, he still insisted on climbing forward with his hands.

“The heart of a childish child is firm, but the Great Dao is merciless, futile, futile just ……” A leisurely sigh, far from the top of the mountain peak floated down, a middle-aged man with a waxy face, his body lightly falling from the stone steps, flew by the side of a teenager, with a a look of emotion.

When passing by Wang Lin, the middle-aged man paused slightly, this son in front of him was the sixth teenager he saw, but it was definitely the most wretched one, his whole body was drenched in blood, his clothes were already soaked in blood, his knees and toes were bloody and blurred, and he was completely climbing a little bit with his hands, the middle-aged man sighed softly, and asked, “Child, what’s your name? ”

Wang Lin’s expression has been blurred, in his heart there is only one idea, that is to die also want to climb to the top of the mountain, for the middle-aged man’s question, he simply did not hear, in his eyes, in addition to this stone step path, nothing else.

The middle-aged man watched Wang Lin’s eyes and was quite moved by the firmness of his mind, his hand pressed on Wang Lin’s head, then he shook his head and muttered to himself, “Excellent perseverance, but unfortunately the qualifications are too ordinary, no fate, no fate ah ……” He looked deeply at Wang Lin and continued to walk down the stone steps.

The next night, Wang Lin’s hands were bloody, the stone steps he climbed, leaving a deep blood stain, for these, Wang Lin already did not know, he now all depends on an idea in the body, the breath has been to the dying.

At the moment of sunrise on the third day, he seemed to see the end of the stone steps in a blur, but unfortunately, at this time, a merciless voice came like thunder, shaking into the heart.

“Time is up, only three people qualified, the rest …… failed!”

Wang Lin laughed miserably, his body slumped and fell on the stone steps, unconscious.

The black-clothed middle-aged man who had tested the talent three days ago stood at the top of the mountain, looking at Wang Lin, who was less than ten feet away from here, his eyes showing a color of ruthlessness.

At this time, a few Hengyue Sect disciples quickly walked down from the top of the mountain, and along the way, they brought all the teenagers who were still holding on to the mountain and uniformly fed them medication.

“Senior brother, 39 testers, 25 gave up, apart from the three who qualified, there are still 11 more.” A female disciple of the Heng Yue sect, coldly returned, she had gone through such a cruel test back then, and eventually became a registered disciple by relying on the base of practicing martial arts since childhood, barely qualified in perseverance, and had spent nearly ten years working hard, and still had not yet become a true disciple by now.

Black-clothed middle-aged man with cold demeanor, slightly nodded his head, his eyes swept all unconscious 11 teenagers, faintly opened his mouth: ”Qualified three people, take them to see the miscellaneous affairs office, arrange for future work. The 25 people who gave up, send them back to their respective families. As for these 11 people who persevered to the end, after they awaken, they will be uniformly sent to the Sword Spirit Pavilion to see if there is anyone who has a destiny with the Sword Spirit, if not, they will still be sent back to their respective families.”

After saying that, the middle-aged man did not even look at these teenagers and whisked his sleeves away.

Three days later, inside the Sword Spirit Pavilion, 11 teenagers, including Wang Lin, all stood aside with pale faces, Wang Lin’s injuries had healed, but the wounds in his heart tore even more, bursts of heart-breaking pain that couldn’t stop devouring his body and mind.

This sword spirit test was not presided over by a black-clothed middle-aged man, but a strange young man dressed in white, but without exception, all of them had ice-cold faces and looked at them as if they were looking at a mole cricket, mercilessly.

“This is the final test, those who can walk into this room, qualified.” The youth’s words were short, and his face even showed a color of impatience.

As far as Wang Lin’s eyes could see, it was an ordinary to the extreme room, the door in the center of the room was open, and looking inward, he only saw a handful of ancient swords of varying lengths, placed inside.

One by one, the teenagers followed the order and walked towards the room, the first teenager just approached the house five feet away, he showed a struggling face and was pushed out a few feet by an invisible force.

“Failed, next!” The youth said indifferently.

Wang Lin was the seventh, the previous six were all unable to advance at five feet, he smiled bitterly, raised the few remaining expectations in his heart and walked forward.

Five feet, easy to step through, Wang Lin a stunned, inner expectations quickly climbed, dry mouth, heart beating wildly, and continue to step out a feet, at this time still do not feel any discomfort.

The youth “eek” sound, eyes flashing, revealing a trace of interest, face slightly slowed, said: “Do not hesitate, continue to walk in, if you can walk into the house, to obtain the recognition of the sword spirit, even if you failed the previous two tests, will be accepted as a true disciple! ”

The other ten teenagers all showed envy, and within this envy, there was also deep jealousy.

Wang Lin inner nervousness, parents expectant gaze again used into the mind, and stepped out another ten feet, at this time from the door, there are still three feet. Wang Lin apprehensive, once again stepped out.

Just at this moment, a huge force suddenly appeared, crazy surge to Wang Lin, his body uncontrollable fast backward, until more than ten feet, only stopped.

The rest of the teenagers standing on the side all had a mocking look in their eyes, in their opinion, Wang Lin should be just like himself, there was no way he could have any chance.

Laughing miserably, the wound that tore inside Wang Lin’s heart became even bigger, and his parents’ expectant gaze gradually dissipated from his mind.

The youth’s expression was as cold as before again and said indifferently, “Failed, next.”
