  This guy was still thinking constantly about having him join the Myriad Treasure Tower.

  Ye Yuan shattered the jade tablet in his hand, his figure instantly vanishing.

  This jade tablet was the token received from Wu Meng Academy after successfully registering.

  As long as one shattered the jade tablet, the applicant would automatically be transported into the assessment place.

  Wu Meng Academy's entrance examination often involved tens of millions of people. It was naturally impossible to carry out inside the academy.

  Hence, Wu Meng Academy specially opened up a space, to be used to conduct the entrance examination.

  As for the matter of registration, the Myriad Treasure Tower had long readied it for Ye Yuan.

  Ye Yuan just felt his eyes blur, and he arrived at a foreign space.

  "This is your number, take the number and find your own lotus seat! Not allowed to start a fight, not allowed to cause trouble. Otherwise, kill without mercy!"

  A young man handed him a wooden board, the warning overtone in his words very thick.

  Looking at this appearance, he might be Wu Meng Academy's student.

  One could tell from this young man's eyes, and he was very disdainful toward Ye Yuan.

  "Many thanks, Senior Apprentice Brother!" Ye Yuan received the wooden board and thanked him.

  The young man snickered and said, "When you pass the entrance exam, calling me Senior Apprentice Brother again isn't late! Go on, go on!"

  In his eyes, it was impossible for Ye Yuan, this middle-stage Grotto Profound rookie, to pass through the entrance examination.

  Therefore, he need not be polite.

  Ye Yuan just smiled and went to find his lotus seat according to the number on the wooden tablet.

  Before his eyes was an enormous plaza, stretching to infinity.

  At the plaza, it was densely packed with people, no less than a million, spectacular in sight.

  On the wooden tablet wrote 735 horizontally, 521 vertically.

  Ye Yuan did not hesitate either, finding his seat very quickly according to the coordinates written on the wooden tablet.

  This was a one-square foot lotus seat, formed with array formation illusions, strikingly vivid and lifelike.

  Ye Yuan did not hesitate either, directly sitting on it and started meditating.

  "Brother, you were also forced by your family to come and be an extra, right?" Suddenly, a little fatty on an adjacent seat started to talk to Ye Yuan.

  The hour had not arrived yet. There were still applicants rushing over one after another. Quite a number of people were all whispering into each other's ears.

  When Ye Yuan heard the voice, he could not help turning his head to look.

  That little fatty was clearly an easy-going person, and he said with a smile, "I'm Brilliant Peace City's Xie Jingyi1, uh … Don't use this kind of eyes to look at me, I also don't know why my dad's head was clamped, giving me such a perverse name. Hey, what's your name?"

  Ye Yuan was tickled by this little fatty and said with a smile, "I'm Ye Yuan."

  "Hear hear, hear hear! What a nice name, unlike me! Sigh! Oh, right, you were also forced by your family to come and be an extra, right?" Xie Jingyi repeated the question.

  "Be an extra?" Ye Yuan said in puzzlement.

  "Yeah! Your bit of strength, I reckon that you'll fall on the second day. Not being an extra, it's for what?" Xie Jingyi said.

  Ye Yuan just smiled and did not give any explanation.

  Xie Jingyi talked to himself, "Sigh, although I'm that tiny bit slightly stronger than you, I reckon that lasting five to six days is already about there. I said that I wasn't coming, my damn old man said that he was going to find me Brilliant Peace City's ugliest wife! My God, isn't this killing me?"

  Ye Yuan discovered that this little fatty was a total joker, purely in charge of running jokes.

  "Five or six days? You're late-stage Grotto Profound at any rate too. It's not to the extent of just lasting so few days in Heaven's Might, this round, right?" Ye Yuan said curiously. It's a girl's name

  Chapter 1364 - Heaven's Might

  "Heh, looks like you just know a little something, but that is not enough for it to count!" Xie Jingyi deliberately beat around the bush.

  "Pray tell!" Ye Yuan said.

  Ye Yuan knew that the test's three hurdles were Heaven's Might, Earth Carnage, Illumination, and he also knew that each checkpoint wiped out a lot of people. But as for the specifics, he did not know.

  Regardless of whether it was the Xiao Feng or Yang Rui, they all intentionally or unintentionally avoided this topic.

  Ye Yuan knew their motives, so he did not force it either.

  "Each entrance examination affects tens of millions of people, how to evaluate? This first hurdle, Heaven's Might, is used to scrub away people! This round will eliminate the vast majority of people. Those able to make it through are all geniuses among geniuses!"

  Actually, those with the qualifications to come and take part in this entrance exam could originally be called geniuses already.

  But Heaven's Might this round, the objective was to wipe out the vast majority of geniuses!

  Ye Yuan's heart stirred, and he asked, "Roughly eliminate how much?"

  The little fatty smiled bitterly and said, "Over 90%! Basically, after this round is done, only the outstanding ones among grand completion Grotto Profound and late-stage Grotto Profound will be left. The rest basically have no hope of passing!"

  But Ye Yuan was incredibly shocked when he heard. He also did not expect that this first hurdle would be so brutal.

  No wonder this little fatty said that he and Ye Yuan were all here as extras.

  "Like this huh, then … actually, you already gave up?"

  Being surprised was just being surprised, but Ye Yuan did not have much visible change in countenance.

  This first hurdle, he still had some confidence in passing!

  This hurdle's name was Heaven's Might. Actually, it was scouring the will. It was similar to cultivation realm coercion but also somewhat different.

  But this kind of test was simply child's play in front of him.

  This Wu Meng Capital City, no matter how formidable the willpower scouring, it was also impossible to surpass the Divine Lord Realm.

  The Ye Yuan who refined the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, forget about a measly little Divine Lord Realm, even a True God's will could forget about making him waver in the slightest too.

  This was where his confidence lay!

  Except, Ye Yuan did not plan on using the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain's will. He would use his own will to resist.

  If he seriously could not keep up anymore, he would cheat.

  But he knew that if he gave up this round, then there was really no hope anymore.

  Ye Yuan felt that this friendly little fatty was rather interesting; that was why he asked this.

  "I naturally don't wish to give up. But my strength is just that tiny bit stronger than yours, there's no hope," the little fatty said rather dispiritedly.

  Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Heaven's Might this round is related to the realm, but also not absolute. If people on the martial path don't have the determination to die, it's hard to accomplish anything great! I think this is the original intention of Wu Meng Academy setting up this round, right? The vast majority of people fear death and don't dare to compete with heaven, that's why they are eliminated. But in reality, this round being named Heaven's Might, it isn't Heaven's Might."

  Xie Jingyi looked at Ye Yuan in surprise, the cynical look on his face gradually fading away. He did not expect Ye Yuan to actually say these words from his mouth.

  This youth whose realm was even lower than his actually had such insight!

  "What you said is right, I can't give up! I want to let my Xiu-er know that her man is a man of indomitable spirit!" Xie Jingyi said with a rare solemness.

  It was just that this excuse made Ye Yuan at a loss whether to cry
or laugh.

  At this time, an old man walked up the platform in front of the plaza and said in a clear voice, "Quiet!"

  The voice was akin to rolling thunder, making the millions of people in the plaza hear clearly.

  "The first round, Heaven's Might, is starting right away. This round tests your Martial Dao will! If anybody can't hold on under Heaven's Might, you just have to shatter the wooden tablet in your hands, and will be transported out. Of course, that way, your test will also be a failure. You'll directly be eliminated! Heaven's Might will last 30 days without ceasing. Furthermore, it will become more and more powerful! I'll get the unpleasantness out of the way first, if somebody discovers that something is wrong, better hurry up and crush the wooden tablet. Otherwise … there will be deaths!"

  The old man's words were akin to a sledgehammer, crushing everyone until they could not breathe.

  Especially the last few words, it made people even more fearful in their hearts.

  This willpower scouring would become more and more horrifying towards the last few days. Once someone could not bear the heavy pressure, they would be overwhelmed and get killed by the powerful will.

  Hence, the old man's words were not exaggerating things to raise the alarm.

  As powerful as Divine Lord Realm, exterminating low-level martial artists with Martial Dao willpower was as easy as flipping one's hand.

  "Now, Heaven's Might begin!"

  The moment the old man's voice fell, a tidewater-like willpower crushed toward all of the martial artists on the plaza.

  That kind of feeling was like facing the scouring of a waterfall.

  However, this initial waterfall was not very powerful. Apart from those whose realms were too low finding it somewhat strenuous to handle, the others were all very relaxed.

  It was just that this scouring was continuous and not just a while.

  Just like a person who was carrying a bag of things; at the start, it might not feel heavy. But along with the increase in time, you would feel heavier and heavier.

  A mere hour passed, and someone could not hold on anymore.

  The only threshold for the entrance examination was 200 years old skeletal age. Hence, the very large portion in the plaza were all initial-stage Grotto Profound martial artists.

  Some people were just a few decades old. They just came to try their luck or experience it a bit.

  These people still had a second chance to join the entrance examination.

  A hundred years later, their strength would naturally improve further.

  "Puhwark!"

  "Puhwark!"

  "Puhwark!"

  ...

  On the plaza, there were people spewing blood non-stop, and then directly transported out of this space.

  Ye Yuan sat on the lotus seat, holding steadfast.

  This degree of willpower scouring was not worth mentioning to him.

  Even if he did not borrow the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, Ye Yuan was very confident in himself too.

  Along the way, Ye Yuan had experienced far too much. Life and death trials were already no idea how many times.

  Disregarding the path of defying the heavens in the Immortal Grove World, just the encounter inside the spatial storm was not what ordinary people could imagine.

  His Martial Dao willpower was long firm as a rock already.

  This so-called Heaven's Might was just targeting Grotto Profound Realm martial artists. It was not possible to really be so powerful.

  It was just that to Grotto Profound Realm martial artists, it was rather powerful.

  Ye Yuan examined himself, on this aspect, he was not inferior to those so-called geniuses!

  A day's time passed in a blink. The moment the second day's hour arrived, a surge of even stronger willpower than yesterday suddenly descended.

  Under the impact of this surge of willpower, a large swathe immediately fell down. One figure after another disappeared on the plaza in succession.

  However, this was just child's play.

  The truly large-scale elimination appeared on the fifth day and the sixth day!

  On just the fifth day alone, 200 thousand people were transported out!

  The remaining people, their faces were all no longer as relaxed as before.

  When it reached the sixth day, fine sweat beads already seeped out on little fatty Xie Jingyi's head.

  Just as he expected, he could at most just last five or six days.

  "Think about your Xiu-er, think about why you want to become strong! Since you have a reason to become strong, why give up halfway?"

  Right at this moment, a voice reached Xie Jingyi's ear.

  He discerned it; it was Ye Yuan's voice.

  This voice of Ye Yuan's was akin to a clap of thunder, enlightening the benighted, letting Xie Jingyi's mind tense up all at once.

  Xiu-er's beautiful figure kept emerging in his mind.

  Chapter 1365 - Little Fatty's Roar

  Once a person's will reached its limit, it became very hard to gather one's concentration.

  Previously, Xie Jingyi's willpower was already somewhat muddled under the scouring of Heaven's Might. How could he still remember what Ah Xiu?

  Ye Yuan's words were like the evening drum and morning bell in a monastery, startling Xie Jingyi awake.

  Willpower scouring was like running. Once passed the most unbearable limit period, you would discover that you became very capable of running.

  However, under such heavy pressure, Xie Jingyi did not dare to act rashly.

  He focused his mind, continuously holding fast to his faith in his mind, and actually persisted just like that.

  It was just that he was secretly incredibly shocked in his heart, Ye Yuan was actually able to last until now!

  He even thought that Ye Yuan had been eliminated long ago.

  After all, words sounded nice but did not represent that one really had that strength.

  But not just last until now, he actually had strength leftover to talk and remind him.

  This indicated that this degree of willpower scouring was nothing to Ye Yuan!

  Was this guy really middle-stage Grotto Profound?

  Although Martial Dao willpower did not have an inexorable relation with cultivation realm, generally speaking, it was all about the higher one's cultivation realm, the more powerful the Martial Dao willpower.

  The entrance examinations in the past, it was not that there were no middle-stage Grotto Profound who passed the first round, but they were like feathers of a phoenix and the horn of a Qilin.

  More often than not, being able to produce one in a thousand years was already pretty good.

  Xie Jingyi did not dare to think too much. The willpower scouring became stronger and stronger. He did not have extra time to think about these.

  On the platform, the two old men presiding over the test were currently conversing about something.

  "No idea what City Lord, His Excellency, is thinking either. Every session, getting these initial-stage and middle-stage Grotto Profound guys to make up the numbers is utterly meaningless!"

  "Not exactly so, once low-level martial artists are able to withstand this Martial Dao willpower, their future accomplishment absolutely won't be beneath you and I. They might even be able to reach City Lord that kind of heights!"

  "Be that as it may, for the sake of these supporting casts, we have to expend vast amounts of manpower and resources each time. Is it really worth it?"

  "Heh, City Lord, His Excellency, feels that it's worth it, then it's worth it. Thinking so much for what?"

  They had long gotten accustomed to seeing geniuses. This initial-stage and middle-stage Grotto Profound martial artists, they completely turned their noses up at them.

  Although initial-stage and middle-stage Grotto Profound people making it through, their potential was huge, that was also merely just potential.

  Those able to truly realize their potential were in the minority.

  Time passed day by d
ay, the people on the plaza got fewer and fewer.

  However, the elimination speed also became slower and slower.

  Those able to pull through the first few days were all people with tough wills. Wanting to make them give up was very difficult!

  "ARGH!!"

  Suddenly, someone else could not bear on the plaza and cried out tragically.

  It was just that this one was somewhat different from those who vomited blood previously. That scream sounded very appalling, then that person's mouth vomited fresh blood unceasingly.

  Finally, the breathing ceased.

  This sudden turn of events caught everyone by surprise from start to end.

  Those martial artists who were already at the critical point could no longer resist at this time as well, crushing the wooden tablets one after another.

  Another large batch of people was eliminated!

  Heaven's Might this round did not isolate the five senses. Everything that happened in the outside world could be seen and heard.

  They finally discovered that that old man was not joking, people would really die!

  Currently, it was already the 23rd day. Little Fatty's spirit was already almost collapsing.

  Hearing this unforeseen accident, his wooden tablet was unknowingly already held in his hand, finally unable to hold on anymore.

  "Can't anymore, I really can't hang on anymore! At this rate, I'll be like him! Being able to persist until now, I've already tried my best!"

  This sentence kept on echoing in Little Fatty's mind.

  "Going to give up here? Are you finding reasons for yourself, feeling that it's already very impressive to be able to persist until now? Just seven days remaining, if you're a man, pull through! Or, are you as your name implies, and should go be a woman?"

  Just as Xie Jingyi was about to shatter the wooden tablet, Ye Yuan's voice sounded out once more.

  Little Fatty was startled again and shouted, "Your uncle! You're the woman! I, Xie Jingyi, am an upstanding and dauntless man! Isn't it just seven days? Your father will definitely persist for you to see! Ah Xiu, you watch, your man is the most impressive!"

  Little Fatty's roar appeared particularly grating on the ear in the plaza.

  Everyone was all giving their full attention to resist the willpower scouring. Being hit by his hilarious shout, some of those martial artists around who had already reached the critical point immediately could not hold back anymore, shattering the wooden tablet one by one, and disappearing.
