ll filled with various cages.Fang Yu frowned, looked up at the sky, his eyes firm, and continued to rush upwards."Whoosh..."This time, Fang Yu's speed reached its peak.I kept pushing upward for almost..."Imbue the spirit stone with energy, and have the ancient sword pierce through a hundred layers or more to be considered qualified and pass the assessment. To pierce three hundred layers or more is considered excellent. To pierce five hundred layers or more is considered exceptional."
Looking at these words, Fang Yu raised his head and glanced at the rock wall above.
Through the Eye of Great Way, he could see layer upon layer of rock faces above.
Each layer's thickness increases, while the number of layers... is infinitely extending.
"Five hundred layers is considered excellent" Fang Yu smiled, placing his right palm on the handprint on the stone platform.
Then, he once again looked up at the rock face above him.
Then, he unleashed his true qi!
"Sizzle!"
Fang Yu's right palm burst forth with a strong golden light!
"Boom!"
A loud bang!
A vast amount of true energy flows into the Stone Platform.
"Bang bang bang..."
The ancient sword on the stone platform immediately began to rise from its sheath.
The sharp blade emanated the same energy as Fang Yu's true qi, along with the same dazzling golden glow!
"Bang bang bang..."
The blade surged upward with incredible speed, piercing through fifty layers of rock in just a dozen seconds!
After reaching the fiftieth floor, the thickness of the rock wall exceeded five meters!
However, the blade pierced through it with increasing speed, showing no signs of slowing down!
"..."
Fifty floors, sixty floors, seventy floors……
Ninety floors!
Ninety-five floors, ninety-six floors, ninety-seven floors… One hundred floors!
Within half a minute, Fang Yu's ancient sword pierced through one hundred layers, reaching the passing line!
However, Fang Yu showed no signs of stopping.
He lowered his head to look at his right palm, which glinted with gold, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Just right, I'll take this opportunity to test the limits of my current power, with my true energy unleashed to its peak..."
Thinking this way, Fang Yu poured true qi into Shi Tai, causing another surge!
"Boom!"
The Stone Platform seemed to be struggling under the influx of such a powerful wave of true energy, violently trembling!
"Boom..."
The sword blade, rising at a certain speed, suddenly trembled, bursting forth with an even sharper and more ferocious aura!
"Boom!"
The brilliant golden light, like flames, burned upon the blade that stretched infinitely upward.
The infusion of true Qi caused the sword blade to surge upward thousands of meters!
Therefore, the blade pierced through over three hundred more layers of rock in an instant!
450 layers, 480 layers, 500 layers!
Within a minute or so, Gu Jian had already broken through five hundred layers of rock wall and was still surging upwards at an incredibly exaggerated speed.
The blade's power at this moment was no longer simply piercing through the thick rock face… but shattering it!
Every time the blade pierces a layer of rock, the entire layer is pulverized!
Six hundred layers, seven hundred layers, eight hundred layers… one thousand layers!
At this point, the ancient sword had already broken through a thousand layers of rock wall.
……
"This, this..."
On the third floor of Wandoge, a gray-robed elder suddenly opened his eyes, filled with disbelief.
Fang Yu actually allowed Gu Jian to break through a thousand layers of rock wall!
How is this possible!
"Elder…", the old man looked towards the curtain in front of him, wanting to ask.
"Continue reading," came the voice of the Elder from behind the curtain.
The old man closed his mouth and opened his eyes again.
……
At this point, the layers of rock that Gu Jian's sword had pierced far exceeded the original limit set by the second test.
But Fang Yu still did not stop, his right hand continued to pour true qi into the stone platform.
"A little stronger..." Fang Yu's eyes flickered, the true energy released from his right hand doubled again.
"Boom!"
The Stone Stage vibrated violently.
The ancient sword's blade suddenly shot up ten thousand meters!
Broke through hundreds of layers again!
At this time, the stone platform had already begun to crack.
The blade was also trembling violently.
"Click click click..."
More and more cracks appeared on the stone platform, and dazzling golden light blossomed within them.
"Boom!"
Finally, the stone platform couldn't hold up anymore and completely exploded!
A furious aura erupted from the shattered stones.
And the sword blade on the stone platform exploded along with it!
"Boom..."
The terrifying power spread outwards!
The entire space was shattered by this blast of power!
At this moment, within the secret chamber where Fang Yu was located, the blue orb suspended in mid-air was also trembling violently and began to deform severely.
"Bang!"
Finally, the light ball also burst with a bang!
"Whoosh!"
Fang Yu's figure emerged from the air, standing firmly in place.
"Boom!"
But the entire room was still shaken by the force of the sphere's explosion.
The sudden explosion caused all the cultivators in the hall to startle and look up.
Mu Qingran and Wu Chou looked at each other, their eyes flashing with determination.
While the other cultivators wore knowing smiles.
"Looks like we failed the assessment," said a cultivator.
"Of course, do you think special ratings are so easy to obtain If it were that easy, many unqualified sects would probably come to apply for special ratings." Another cultivator replied.
"But at the third layer, the old man in gray robes looked shocked and asked, “Elder… what should we do about this situation now”
"...Take him to another room for the third assessment," the elder behind the curtain said after a moment of silence. " "
"...Yes." The elder bowed and immediately turned to go downstairs.
……
"The magic weapons of your Wantian Pavilion seem to be quite ineffective. They break with just a little bit of force. How can you possibly assess others with such flimsy tools" Fang Yu frowned and said.
If another cultivator dared to be so disrespectful to the Wan Dao Pavilion, the elder would surely reprimand him sternly, and even drive him out of the Wan Dao Pavilion.
Since Fang Yu's performance in the two just-concluded assessments... he indeed has the qualifications to say such things.
"Is there still a need to continue the assessment" Fang Yu said again, "Isn't it unnecessary"
"That's the rule," The elder looked at Fang Yu with different eyes.
At first, he didn't take Fang Yu seriously at all. He thought Fang Yu couldn't possibly pass the assessment and it was just a waste of time.
Now, Fang Yu's performance... slaps his face hard.
"Alright, then let's continue. But if the ball explodes again later, don't come to me for compensation," Fang Yu said, following the old man into the next room.
This secret room is exactly the same as the previous one, with a blue orb floating in the air.
"This is the final assessment. As long as you pass, you will have passed the special ranking assessment..." The elder said, turning and walking out of the secret room.
Fang Yu stood still, looking at the ball of light in front of him.
"Whoosh!"
After a dozen seconds, the orb erupted in a blinding light, enveloping Fang Yu within it.
……
Before Fang Yu was a towering mountain peak, at least five thousand meters high.
"Climb to the summit of the mountain within five minutes without using your spiritual energy. If you use your spiritual energy, the assessment will be a failure."
On the cliff face before Fang Yu, etched there was a guiding principle for this assessment.
"The first level tests your spiritual awareness or sensory abilities, the second level tests your true qi... The third level tests your physical body... Interesting." Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up at the mountains.
For him, this exam was, by far, the simplest and easiest.es.Anyway, it seems that the Four Emperors can't pose a threat to him at present."After taking care of that Fog Mountain Big Eye...what would come next" Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, retracting the Heave...
