#51 - against

The examination steps of the Great River Sword Sect, just as Jun Wuxie had guessed, were set with gravity restrictions.

As soon as one stepped onto the stairs, the gravity restriction would immediately activate, and the gravity restriction of each step would continuously increase.

At the beginning, the examinees could still climb the stairs in large strides, but as the altitude increased, they gradually slowed down.

The group at the forefront had already reached the middle of the stairs, appearing somewhat strained, with beads of sweat rolling down their faces.

Jun Wuxie walked in the middle of the crowd, neither striving to be first nor lagging behind.

Although he had already decided to amaze everyone in the examination, this was only the first round, a mere basic test, and there was no need to stand out too early.

Before long, someone reached the top, standing proudly at the summit of the stairs, looking down at the examinees who were still struggling to climb.

Jun Wuxie remained unhurried, stepping up the stairs one step at a time.

By the time he was about to reach the top, a small number of people had rolled down, failing to pass the first round of the examination, thus losing their chance with the Great River Sword Sect.

Upon reaching the top of the stairs, he lined up to wait for the second round of the examination.

At this moment, he suddenly felt someone watching him, and when he looked up, he saw the old man standing on the high platform.

"What is your name?"

The old man suddenly spoke, and all eyes immediately focused on Jun Wuxie, filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

To be noticed by the inner sect elder in charge of the examination during the first round was such good fortune!

"Disciple Jun Wuxie."

Jun Wuxie pushed through the crowd and walked to the front, but he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"I didn't sense any flow of true energy in your body." The old man's expression gradually turned cold, his gaze sinking: "Who gave you the audacity to disregard the rules of my Great River Sword Sect!"

"May I ask, Elder, is it necessary to cultivate true energy to participate in the Great River Sword Sect's examination?"

Jun Wuxie was neither humble nor arrogant; his premonition had come true, and the other party had indeed come to make trouble for him.

"Insolent! What are you that you dare question an inner sect elder of my Great River Sword Sect?" A familiar voice came from a distance, and the person followed closely behind.

Jun Wuxie's pupils contracted slightly.

Bu Yunfei!

Seeing him, Jun Wuxie was certain of his conjecture.

"Guards!" The old man ordered, waving his hand as if chasing away flies: "Break his legs, shatter his meridians, and throw him out!"

"Hold on!" Jun Wuxie was enraged, and said in a cold voice: "Your Great River Sword Sect never stated that one must cultivate true energy to participate in the examination! I have reached the Acquired Realm, so naturally I am qualified to be examined!"

"Hmph! Who do you think you are, coming to the Great River Sword Sect to lecture us on principles? It's utterly laughable. Is this a place where you can run wild?" Bu Yunfei crossed his arms, sneering incessantly.

The old man looked down condescendingly, saying indifferently: "My Great River Sword Sect cultivates swords with the dantian. You have no dantian, so you are not worthy to be a disciple of my Great River Sword Sect. This time, you have offended my Great River Sword Sect. This elder will not kill you, but only break your legs and shatter your meridians. You should be grateful for the mercy of not being killed, yet you dare to disobey the judgment?"

"Why don't you try?"

The blood energy within Jun Wuxie's body suddenly erupted, and with a rumble, golden air currents rolled and spread in all directions.

Instantly, the examinees near him were all blown away, staggering back more than ten steps after landing, their faces filled with shock.

"Still dare to resist, seize him!"

The old man carried his hands behind his back, his eyes exceptionally indifferent.

The two middle-aged men beside him drew their spiritual swords with a clang and charged over to kill him.

Clang!

Dragon's roar!

Roar!

Tiger's howl!

Shaking the entire examination site.

Jun Wuxie stepped forward to meet them, his left and right hands striking with fists and palms, the true dragon and fierce tiger condensed from blood energy charging forward.

With a bang.

In an instant, the sword energy of the two middle-aged men collapsed at the first touch.

The true dragon and fierce tiger destroyed everything in their path, blasting them away, causing them to spew blood wildly.

"Fiend, you seek death!"

The old man drew a line with one hand, and a flash of sword light shone, as true energy like a river surged from between his fingers, condensing into several Qi swords, shaking the space and slashing towards Jun Wuxie.

The power of such a strong person at this level is astonishing with a casual strike.

Jun Wuxie narrowed his eyes, countering with the Dragon-Tiger Strength, while also stepping to avoid the sharpness of the sword Qi and charging towards the old man.

His steps were agile and nimble, always able to capture the gaps between the Qi swords and weave through them.

This was the combat experience gained from fighting the phantom of the mysterious woman in the Eternal Life Shrine.

"You think you can fight this old man?"

The old man's face was full of disdain, manipulating the Qi swords with his left hand, while his right hand pointed and waved rapidly, interweaving a shield of sword Qi in front of him, attacking and defending simultaneously.

"Break!"

Jun Wuxie had already rushed to the old man's side, and amidst his disdainful expression, he raised his fist and violently bombarded the sword Qi shield!

Dragon-Tiger Strength!

The fist intent was like a mountain, fused with the domineering spear intent!

A fierce tiger charged forward.

At the moment of impact with the sword Qi shield, the fierce tiger's body suddenly shrank, turning into a rapidly rotating spear.

Using a spear to break the shield!

With a bang.

The old man's expression changed drastically, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes.

The sword Qi shield collapsed instantly.

The blood energy spear pierced through the old man's abdomen with a soft sound, bringing with it a burst of blood.

"You!"

The old man staggered back several steps, his face pale, his hand pressed on his abdomen, blood gushing wildly from between his fingers, the scarlet red shocking to the eye.

The entire examination site was silent!

After a brief silence, there was an uproar.

What did they see?

An inner sect elder of the Great River Sword Sect, a strong person above the fifth transformation of the Cave Heaven Realm, was actually pierced through the abdomen by an examinee with a single blow!

This had never happened in the entire examination history of the Great River Sword Sect.

Let alone injuring an examination elder, there had never even been an instance of contradicting an examination elder!

"Madman, who gave you the courage to run wild in my Great River Sword Sect!"

An old man arrived through the air, his profound true energy condensed into swords, shuttling around his body. Sword energy crisscrossed along his path!

Jun Wuxie's pupils shrank violently.

The newcomer was far stronger than the old man from before!

The sharpness of that sword energy made him feel a bone-chilling cold even from a distance of dozens of meters.

"Heavens, even the elite elders of the Great River Sword Sect have been alarmed. That's a strong person in the Star Realm!"

Someone exclaimed from the foot of the mountain.

Star Realm!

Jun Wuxie's heart sank.

He didn't know what realm the Star Realm was, but he knew that this realm was absolutely terrifying. Ji Yinlan was currently in the Star Realm!

"Speak, how do you want to die?" The elite elder was an old man with gray hair, suspended in the air, looking down, the sword energy shuttling around his body quickly condensed into a sword dragon, pointing at Jun Wuxie.

"Is your Great River Sword Sect going to bully others with power today?"

The anger in Jun Wuxie's heart was burning fiercely.

He had come to participate in the entry examination with all his heart, but he never expected such a situation. Some inner sect elite disciples, relying on their connections in the sect, could manipulate the examination rules and publicly retaliate for personal grudges!

Such a sect, if it weren't for thinking that Yue Yao needed a physician, even if they begged him, he would not bother to join!

He said coldly: "I came to participate in the examination according to your rules. Your disciples colluded with the inner sect elder to deliberately target me, making things difficult in every way, and even wanted to break my legs and cripple my meridians. It is my right to retaliate!"

The elite elder said indifferently: "If an inner sect elder of my Great River Sword Sect wants to cripple you, you should kneel on the ground and await judgment. Resistance is a capital crime!"

Jun Wuxie was extremely angry and said: "What kind of robber logic is that?"

If the Great River Sword Sect wanted to kill someone, would others have to kneel and let them kill?

Did they really think they were the best in the world?

"This elder announces that you are stripped of your examination qualification, your head will be cut off and made into a lantern as a warning to others."

The elite elder spoke lightly, and the sword dragon that had been condensed instantly killed over.

"Hold on!" Jun Wuxie said with a cold face, taking out the token given by Ji Yinlan: "I have an inner sect disciple special recruitment order!"

The elite elder's pupils shrank, and the sword dragon also paused slightly.
