"The next level is endurance. Each person carries ten kilograms of weight and climbs up the steps to the square at the top of Cuizhu Peak. [Read the latest chapter] [] The time limit is two hours. It will start in half an hour. Get ready."
Elder Wang looked at these tired children without any pity.
Cuizhu Peak is more than 200 feet tall, with steps climbing up the mountain wall, sometimes steep, sometimes gentle. According to legend, there are a hundred thousand steps in the entire peak.
Normally, it would take a while for these children to go up.
Now they were asked to climb to the top of the peak in two hours while carrying ten kilograms of weight with little energy left in them. This was really difficult.
Half an hour later, Elder Wang stood up and said: "Now let's start the second level. Everyone should pick up their own heavy objects, whether on their backs or in their arms. As long as they can reach the top of Cuizhu Peak, they will pass the level. Let's start now."
More than a hundred children picked up the heavy objects and started climbing.
At the beginning, the children moved quickly. Half an hour later, some children began to sit on the steps and gasp for breath. Although Xiao Fengming was not sitting on the steps, he was already feeling a little tired. However, he did not stop and still climbed up slowly.
On the way, he saw Duan Meng and the others. They didn't talk to each other, but only encouraged each other with their eyes.
Whenever Xiao Fengming felt extremely tired, he would stop. As soon as he stops, he will feel a heat flow from his abdomen to his limbs, and then his whole body will feel comfortable.
Every time at this time, he felt incredible, that warm current was so magical, and he tried his best to control it, but no matter how hard he tried, the warm current remained unchanged and was completely out of his control.
In this way, Xiao Fengming passed countless children resting on the steps. Seeing the way those children looked at him, Xiao Fengming felt something he had never felt before.
After Xiao Fengming rested three times, he turned a corner and saw the peak.
At this time, a child on the peak was already sitting at the entrance of the peak, and he saw the child looking at him with contempt.
Xiao Fengming didn't say anything, he just walked past the child and found a rock to sit on. The child looked at Xiao Fengming coldly, then turned to look at the steps up the mountain.
After a while, another child came up, leaned against a rock, and collapsed to the ground. His eyes were closed, his chest was rising and falling, and he was breathing heavily.
After that, 6 more children came up one after another. They are all in the same situation as the child just now. Judging from their appearance, their physical strength must have reached its limit.
Time passed little by little, and it was almost time. At this time, among the children who came in the car with Xiao Fengming, only Duan Meng and Wei Boqiang came up. The other few didn't even see their shadows. There are now only about 40 children on the peak. It seems that Zhang Li and the others won't be able to get up.
Just two hours later, Hall Master Zhang and Elder Wang appeared in front of Xiao Fengming and others.
"The time is up. There are only forty-three people who have passed the test this time. Even if you don't pass the third test, you can still become Luoxia Valley's foreign affairs disciples."
All the children were a little surprised when they heard this. Xiao Fengming didn't know what the foreign affairs disciples were about. For him, there was only one choice, and that was to become a true disciple of Luoxia Valley. Others have no attraction to him at all.
"Now, you guys have a rest. After a while, you will take the third level assessment. Compared with the previous two levels, the third level requires much less physical strength."
Elder Wang said with an expression on his face to the children who were already exhausted.
Xiao Fengming didn't know how to test the third level, but after going through the inhumane assessment process of the first two levels, he thought the third level wouldn't be easy either. He looked at Duan Meng and the two of them, both of whom also looked confused.
When Elder Wang saw that the forty children were almost resting, he stood up and said:
"The third level tests your courage. This test is relatively easy. You have to go through a mountain road full of poisonous snakes. Pick a ripe vermilion fruit from the small fruit tree next to the mountain road and come back. You will be considered successful. .”
"I want to remind you that those poisonous snakes may attack you, but they will not be life-threatening. If any of you are afraid, you don't have to go for the assessment. Okay, if you want to be assessed, come with me." After saying that, he glanced at the children , walking slowly towards the depths of Cuizhu Peak.
After hearing this, the children all turned pale. Children have a natural fear of snakes. Now they have to walk through a mountain road full of snakes, and they are venomous snakes. They are even more frightened and can't express themselves.
After a while, the child who was the first to reach the peak stood up and followed Elder Wang. When the children saw someone taking the lead, another child stood up and followed him.
Xiao Fengming, Duan Meng, and Wei Boqiang also stood up. The other children, encouraged by so many people, also stood up.
Elder Wang looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, said nothing, and walked towards a path next to the square. The children followed him, all bowing their heads and saying nothing.
After walking for a while, they came to a path with dense trees. Elder Wang pointed ahead: "You all go into the woods in front of you one by one and pick a vermilion fruit. When you return here, you have passed the test."
Xiao Fengming looked forward attentively, and saw that the trees and roads in front were covered with snakes of various colors. Some were entwined with each other. They all held their heads high, mouthing words and making "hissing" sounds. sound.
He didn't know how so many snakes could gather together and not attack each other.
When the children saw so many venomous snakes, some were trembling and some were crying. Some squatted on the ground, not daring to move at all. Everyone seemed very helpful.
Elder Wang looked at the children with an expression on his face, and his voice became angry:
"There is a time limit for one stick of incense. Only those who pick the vermillion fruits within the time limit will be considered successful. You can start now." After saying that, he took out a stick of incense from his arms and lit it with a fire sickle. Inserted in the crevices of the rocks.
