Chapter 337: Giant Python
Gong Tian said, "I bet that he is at least 90 years old."
"Then I bet that he is 95 years old!" Li Qi said.
While the Gong Tian and Li Qi were betting among themselves, the Eldest Miss"s voice sounded in Ye Xiao"s mind: "Ye Xiao, it is your turn!"
Ye Xiao nodded his head and hurried over. His large hand gently pressed on the huge boulder and the numbers on it jumped out.
"Ye Xiao, the age of your bones is 23!" The old man with strange ears looked at the number on the huge boulder and thought he had misread it.
"23?"
Everyone exclaimed. Even the Eldest Miss was no exception. She never expected that Ye Xiao was actually so young, even younger than her.
Gong Tian"s pupils constricted. He had experienced Ye Xiao"s fighting strength before. Although he thought that Ye Xiao could be easily killed by him, he never thought that Ye Xiao would be so young.
A twenty-three years old Immortal Foundation Realm, although the Small World is destroyed, this kind of apt.i.tude was probably not much worse than them, the core disciples.
"You win! I"ll give a Low-Grade Immortal Weapon to Brother Gong later!" Li Qi said as he looked at Ye Xiao weirdly.
"There is no need to give it to me. Just treat it as a reward for whoever cuts off one of his arms!" Gong Tian shook his head as he looked at Ye Xiao with a cold smile.
"That"s fine!" Li Qi nodded his head. They never thought that the actual age of Ye Xiao would be something far from what they had expected. They both felt embarra.s.sed and stopped talking.
"Yue Ying, this guy is truly surprising. It is a pity that his Small World is destroyed. The most unfortunate thing is that his Small World seems to has been tainted with an extremely terrifying poison." Shang Xianyue"s voice was filled with regret.
The Eldest Miss gently bit her jade lips, unable to hold back the tears in her eyes as they rolled down her cheeks. Her master"s words had completely cut off that sliver of hope in her heart.
Only after hearing that Ye Xiao"s small world has been tainted with an extremely terrifying poison did she come to a realization. Maybe, Ye Xiao used his secret technique to absorb the Calamity Poison in his Small World.
If it wasn"t for his sister, Ye Xiao might still have a chance to return to the peak. But now he had completely lost this chance.
"Alright, the registration is complete, now it"s time for the outer sect disciple examination." Shang Xianyue interrupted the crowd"s shock brought about by Ye Xiao and attracted everyone"s attention.
"This is your only chance to become an outer sect disciple of the Dragon Immortal Sect. The outer sect examination is very simple. After you enter the mountain gate, go all the way up to the top of the mountain and you will receive the qualifications of outer sect disciples!" Shang Xianyue pointed to the door behind her and said.
Shang Xianyue looked at the crowd and continue to say seriously, "The a.s.sessment process is very simple but the content is not that simple. In Dragon Immortal Sect, there are not many rules but rules are restrictions placed on the weak by the strong. In Dragon Immortal Sect, you should never say anything is unfair. This kind of sentence is only childish and laughable words."
"Dragon Immortal Sect only cultivates strong so try your best to become strong. The weak could only think of ways to survive and to seek an opportunity to rise in power.
Therefore, the death rate of Outer Court Disciples of the Dragon Immortal Sect is extremely high. You must think this through because not only do you have to face difficulties in cultivation, you must also face the enemies around you."
After she finished speaking, Shang Xianyue deliberately looked at the crowd and saw that some of them had pale faces. She nodded her head and again said, "So, I"ll give you all one last chance. Those that want to leave, you can stand up now and leave because once you enter the a.s.sessment procedures, you can only die or become the outer court disciple but you can not leave!"
Everyone swallowed their saliva after hearing this. They never thought that the Dragon Immortal Sect in their hearts would actually be such a cruel place. However, no one withdrew because it was extremely rare for these people to get the chance to enter a sect like the Dragon Immortal Sect to cultivate.
This was especially the case for the people like Ye Xiao"s other three companions who did not have any background. This was the only chance in their lives for them to rise again.
Once missed, they would never be able to gain an opportunity like this. And also, with the increase of their age, the difficulty of cultivation would also increase. No matter how hard one worked, it would be difficult for one to achieve anything.
Even though everyone was shocked, no one was willing to withdraw.
"Since no one has withdrawn then I can only stay here. I wish you all good luck!" Shang Xianyue waved her hand and coldly shouted, "The outer sect disciple exam begins now!"
Following Shang Xianyue"s order, all people rushed madly into the gate like a tide.
Seeing that everyone was rushing inside crazily, Ye Xiao shook his head. Although Shang Xianyue said that the procedure was simple, she did not say that the content was simple.
Once everyone entered, Ye Xiao also followed them and entered the gate.
Watching Ye Xiao"s figure slowly disappearing into the door, the Eldest Miss clenched her jade hands tightly.
After entering through the gate, he saw a lush and verdant forest in front of him. Following high mountains that reached the horizon, ancient trees towered into the sky.
Ye Xiao estimated that this mountain was probably more than a few thousand meters tall. Going all the way up probably would not be so simple.
"Ah!"
Just as Ye Xiao ran several hundred meters, he heard a miserable cry in front of him.
An Immortal Foundation Realm expert had been swallowed by a giant serpent. The giant serpent did not emit even the slightest bit of killing intent. Its scales were the colour of mud and were hidden underground. It was difficult for anyone to detect it. Even the Immortal Foundation Realm martial artist was killed by it.
That person"s screams before his death had scared everyone to the point where they started to flee. No one dared to stop.
After swallowing one person, the giant serpent did not stop and again pounced on the nearest man. That man was one of the Eldest Miss"s people who come here with her and Ye Xiao. Upon seeing the several meters long Giant Python rushing towards him, he was startled and immediately dodged to the side.
However, what he did not expect was that the Giant Python was actually an Immortal Levelled Beast. It possessed a certain level of intelligence and had already determined his path of retreat. A huge tail directly lashed onto his body. The terrifying force caused him to feel pain all over his body as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
While his body was still in the air, a huge mouth pounced at him. That man sighed and closed his eyes while waiting for death.
"Boom!"
With an explosive sound, a blue-coloured long spear pierced through the Giant Python"s head like a blue-coloured thunderbolt, causing sparks to fly everywhere and causing the ground to shake.
The man who was waiting for death with his eyes closed felt his body being pushed even further back by a huge force.
Only then did he open his eyes. He saw a black-haired man standing in his original position and the Giant Python was pushed back several meters.
"Hurry up and go!" Ye Xiao waved his hand and said to the person who had managed to escape death.
That person nodded his head heavily. His eyes were filled with grat.i.tude and hurriedly turned and ran away.
"Hiss!"
The Giant Python spat out its tongue and shrunk it slightly. Its gigantic head pouncing towards Ye Xiao like lightning. Its speed was astonishing.
Ye Xiao immediately raised the Sea Dragon Spear in his hand and thrust the spear towards the huge body of the giant python. When the spear was thrust onto the head of the Giant Python with all his strength, Ye Xiao felt a sharp pain from his palm as if it was going to split open.
As soon as he landed on the ground, Ye Xiao did not even dare to turn his head and started to run away desperately. As for the Giant Python, after receiving Ye Xiao"s full power attack, it also did not feel good.
After Ye Xiao left, no one noticed that two figures had congealed atop a huge tree that was several hundred meters tall.
