The second group of people learned the lesson wisely. Whether it was after discussion or spontaneously, a dozen people went to the three entrances to maintain the order of entering the wooden formation. They did not enter last until everyone entered.
It's a pity that the good times did not last long, and it was chaotic again soon.
Some of the people who broke into the formation this time honestly wanted to fight all the way through, but some still didn't want to tangle with the wooden man. They stumbled forward based on the principle of dodging and dodging when they could, which resulted in another congestion. .
The road out of the formation is inherently narrow, only as wide as a wooden man. If the people in front cannot pass or are not beaten down by the wooden man, then the people behind will not be able to pass, so there will be congestion in sections.
The most important thing is that these people are not only blocked, but also have to resist the wooden man's attack on the spot. Even if the first person in front passes the level or is knocked down by the wooden man, there are still many people behind, and there is no way to take advantage.
This is why the first group of people rush to the entrance. The further back they go, the greater the pressure.
After another full hour, the trial of the second batch of wooden formations was also over.
The number of people who succeeded was about the same as the first time, there were more than 30 people, and all of them were equally bruised and miserable.
"We will be here soon. So, Fatty Na, you and Dabao and Xiaobao will follow me to the first entrance. Li Yangfan and Lao Bai will follow Xiao Hua to the second entrance. We will try to drive as quickly as possible to help you reduce some pressure."
"Okay, let's follow the arrangements of the two eldest brothers." Najun and others were very happy.
In fact, with the strength of Najun and the others, as long as they don't fall behind, they have a high probability of passing the level. They are afraid of getting lost in the formation and encountering people in front of them who are too slow to advance.
Now that Huang Ming and Xiao Hua are two big players, these problems are no longer a problem. If they still can't pass the test, they can only blame themselves for their poor academic skills.
After a while, Huang Ming and others rushed towards the wooden formation as the deacon disciple said "The third batch begins".
Because they wanted to hide their cultivation, Huang Ming and Xiao Hua did not dare to show it too obviously. They ran just a little faster than everyone else, pretending to be very thrilling and just grabbed the starting position of the first entrance and the second entrance.
But Najun and the others were a little slow, and were blocked by others on both sides. Huang Ming and Xiao Hua had no choice but to stay away from the wooden formation for the time being, and turned around to block the entrance.
"Get out of the way, stay out of the way"
A big man with a red cloth tied on his forehead and dreadlocks rushed to Huang Ming first.
Huang Ming didn't say anything. He leaned forward and waved his hand, giving him a slap.
"Pa", the big man's body stiffened and he fell to the ground.
This man didn't expect Huang Ming to take action, let alone that he couldn't bear a slap.
But at the same time, more people rushed over.
Huang Ming opened his bow left and right, slapped one by one, knocking down all the people in front of Na Jun, Bao Zhaohong, and Bao Zhaowei, and then turned around and entered the wooden formation.
It was the same on Xiao Hua's side. There were also a dozen people rushing in front of Li Yangfan and Lao Bai.
Xiao Hua was a little gentler than Huang Ming. He didn't knock these people unconscious, but just used his agile movement to knock them down one by one until Li Yangfan and Lao Bai rushed to the front.
"Those two people blocking the road are a bit interesting." The one-eyed leader of the Shanyinmen smiled slightly.
"Senior brother, these two are the two mountain men I mentioned before who caused trouble in Bell Ringing City."
Sitting on the left side of the one-eyed old man, the city lord named Zhu of Ringing Bell City reminded him.
"Well, mountain people have always been mysterious. If these two people are really low-level martial arts cultivators and sincerely surrender to them, it will be a good thing. If not, they can just take them and lock them at the bottom of the lake." The one-eyed old man picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"Yes", City Lord Zhu nodded, and then continued.
"Actually, Elder Lei and I had doubts at the time. It is said that mountain people are born to be martial artists, so why would they need to enter our Shanyin Sect again? I had previously deliberately punished my disciples and left them two here just to find out. "
"Yes, Elder Zhu did the right thing. It's really strange for the mountain people to suddenly appear. It's a good idea for you and Elder Lei to let them pass three levels and then add an actual combat competition." The deputy sect leader said, and he happened to be there too. The surname is Fu.
"Well, that's very good. Just do as you think." The one-eyed old man nodded.
Huang Ming and Xiao Hua didn't know that they had long been targeted by these old gangsters from Shanyinmen, and they were still pretending to be doing their best to enter the battle.
As expected, this wooden formation has some tricks up its sleeve. In addition to the deliberately set dead ends, the correct path forward is not simple. The wooden figures' attacks are not very powerful, but there are no dead ends. They can only resist and move forward slowly with one move after another.
Of course, no matter how simple this wooden formation is, it is equally incompatible for Xiao Hua and Huang Ming, but for Na Jun, Bao Zhaohong, and Bao Zhaowei, who are just new martial arts cultivators, it is a nightmare. .
This wooden man array tests the "basic skills" of the challenger, and basic skills refer not only to the moves and body techniques in the enlightenment stage, but also include some hidden abilities, such as perseverance, endurance, resilience, etc.
The reason why the heads and elders of Shanyin Sect started watching the whole process from the second level of the trial is because the first level was just to test whether the young martial arts cultivators participating in the trial had really reached the enlightenment stage and understood the power of blood. .
This is just like the army selecting special forces in TV dramas. If you can't even run a five-kilometer cross-country run with a load within the specified time, it means that your physique is not good enough, no matter how strong you are in other aspects.
In other words, as long as you pass the first level, you are already considered a disciple of the Shanyin Sect.
The wooden man formation in the second level is to test the foundation of these practitioners' skills before starting, and to test their perseverance, endurance, adaptability, etc. from some small details.
As for the third level, it is to test the learning and comprehension abilities of these entry-level disciples. This level is very important, as it is related to whether these new entry-level martial arts cultivators have the possibility of becoming immortal cultivators in the future.
In addition to these, the trials in the last two levels are also related to the subsequent allocation of palaces.
Shanyin Gate has four halls, four pavilions and one chamber of commerce. The four halls focus on boxing and kicking, focusing on boxing, palm, leg and body skills respectively. The four pavilions focus on weapons, including knives, swords, spears and bows. stab in the back.
As for the Chamber of Commerce, it is called Wanbaolou. It is an intercity chamber of commerce under Shanyinmen and is located in Ringing Bell City.
The four halls, four pavilions and a chamber of commerce all teach basic exercises, and both can be practiced to the nirvana stage. The only difference is that the focus and methods of practice are different.
Huang Ming and Xiao Hua were very relaxed, but Na Jun and Bao Zhaohong, Bao Zhaowei, Li Yangfan, and Lao Bai were not.
These wooden men seem to be rotating and swaying irregularly, but there seems to be some kind of attraction between two of them. As long as someone passes by, they will be attacked by two wooden men at the same time. At most, there will be four wooden men attacking at the same time.
Only by blocking or repelling all the wooden figures participating in the attack at the same time can they move forward, otherwise they will be hit.
The most important thing is that these wooden figures are not made of ordinary wood. The body and hands and feet are somewhat soft but extremely heavy. They are a bit like rubber sticks. They will not bleed but are extremely painful when hit on the body.
Najun and the others are just some young martial arts practitioners who have just mastered the martial arts. They only learned the most basic fighting techniques in the village martial arts school. They may be able to block or dodge when facing a wooden man. Once they face more than two, they can only It’s just a matter of resisting and getting beaten.
Therefore, even if they followed Huang Ming and Xiao Hua without making any detours, the end result was that they were beaten by the wooden man until their noses and faces were swollen, their bodies bruised, and they all turned into giant pandas with pig heads.
Fortunately, Xiao Hua and Huang Ming fought fast. Although Najun and the others became pig-headed pandas, they followed them and successfully passed the wooden formation, several minutes faster than the fastest people in the previous two batches.
