Chapter 265 Entrance Test
Another hour passed, and 60 of the 72 places had been taken, but Zhang Xuanyu and Le Renkuang were still not here.
Slightly anxious, Luo Xiaobai asked Han Fei in private, and Han Fei replied, Don’t panic. They might’ve been delayed. They would definitely come. Just focus on the mysterious words.
During the past hour, Han Fei had studied every word carefully. He even simulated the calligraphy in his head. At first, he was only studying how to write those words. Later, he began to consider if he could write with a sword...
The more he studied, the more shocked Han Fei became, and the strokes of the words were full of changes as if they were moves.
At this point, Han Fei’s perception had reached 50%, and the deduction cost had been reduced to three million points. But Han Fei did not stop. He imitated the words in his head and eventually began to draw them with his Blue Sea Wandering Dragon Daggers.
After Han Fei set an example, many people began to do the same. They seemed to have found the secret behind the words too, but they could barely stare at the words for two minutes without shedding tears.
Another half an hour later, two men, one fat and the other slim, fell from above.
Five people were chasing them. Han Fei knew them to be Su Yebai’s team. He did not expect that they would hunt Zhang Xuanyu and Le Renkuang after failing to besiege him.
Zhang Xuanyu shouted, “Han Fei! I knew that I would meet you here! Fight those five people with me! They took advantage of us!”
Le Renkuang said palely, “You think we’re outnumbered? Come on! I’m going to beat the s*it out of them!”
Han Fei said to them in private, Shut up and sit down at a stone table. Don’t fight.
Briefly stunned, Zhang Xuanyu and Le Renkuang looked around and finally saw what was going on. Gasping at the sixty people around, they sat down on a table without hesitation.
Su Yebai’s team, on the other hand, seemed to have been informed too and stopped attacking
The girl who held hammers shouted, “I can finally talk now! Those from the Fourth Academy, I’m waiting for you!” Zhang Xuanyu grinned. “Little girl, don’t be cocky. We’ve been gathered now, and I’ll show you what a real rod is later!”
“Pu!”
Han Fei’s face darkened as he felt embarrassed...
A lot of people looked weird, and Zhang Xuanyu scratched his head. “Why are you all staring at me? She said that I was bad with rods? Was that a joke?” Han Fei said, “Just shut up.” The girl, however, trembled in fury and almost started to fight Zhang Xuanyu. Le Renkuang asked in a stun, “What are they doing?”
Han Fei said to him in private, Don’t talk. Just imitate the calligraphy on the gate. Hurry up. There probably won’t be any time when all the tables are full.
Le Renkuang and Zhang Xuanyu looked at each other. Was it a fortuitous opportunity?
They immediately sat cross-legged, completely forgetting that they were being hunted.
The girl seemed to be trying to say something, but the armorist in her team stopped her. “Zuozuo, to the stone table.”
They were almost as fast as Zhang Xuanyu and Le Renkuang. After they sat down on the tables, there were only three openings left.
At this point, everybody hoped that the last three people would come later, because they had only perceived a tiny bit of the calligraphy.

However, somebody’s aura was surging.
It was Le Renkuang, who had only sat down only three minutes earlier, but an intense spirit of swords was bursting out of his body. Yet, he kept staring at the words without having to take any rest. Everybody else was stunned. Was this guy a monster?
Han Fei was shocked too. Was this guy naturally intimate with swords? Back on the Rock-Holding Turtle, everybody saw pictures, but he saw a sword. The words on the wall that were filled with the spirit of swords seemed very suitable to him.
Soon, Kong Yunfei arrived. He was surprised to see the many people in this place.
When he saw Han Fei, he threw a Fiery Mountain Token at Han Fei without saying anything. “This is yours. We’re even now.”
While everybody looked at him in surprise, Han Fei accepted the Fiery Mountain Token in delight. He was starting to like this frank fella.
It was a shame that none of the other people who owed Han Fei the Fiery Mountain Tokens made it here. Han Fei couldn’t help but pray that more of the people he had robbed would come here.
But his wish did not come true. When he perceived 60% of the words and the deduction cost was reduced to two million, the tables were all occupied.
The last two candidates were students from the Second Academy. They claimed the last openings.
Someone shouted, “Zhang Yi, Liu Xuan, get on the tables now!”
They seemed to be receiving messages from too many people. They were stunned at first, but they were soon delighted that they got the last two spots.
Boom!
Hardly had they sat down on the tables when the gate trembled.
In the next moment, dazzling gold light burst out of the awe-inspiring words, and in everybody’s eyes, the light turned into infinite swords that cut into their head in the most unstoppable way.
“Pu!”
After only an instant, dozens of people were vomiting blood. Then, an invisible power pulled a dozen people out of the tables and absorbed them into a black hole.
“Don’t panic. Just keep vigilant.”
The top experts of the three academies were all shouting and yelling. The unexpected swords were so intimidating that they seemed to be etched in the student’s souls. Some of the students who could resist the horror had been absorbed away. There was no telling if they were still alive or not.
However, that was just the beginning. The gold light lasted about one minute, and sixteen had disappeared from the tables.
Luo Xiaobai said, “That was a soul attack. More might come later.”
Zhang Xuanyu said, “I’m fine. The souls of those people just now must have been too weak.”
Le Renkuang said, “It would’ve been dangerous if we hadn’t taken the Soul Resistance Pearls. Speaking of which, is a soul attack the same as a mental attack?”
Zhang Xuanyu said, “It seems so, but I have a feeling that they might not be necessarily. Let’s talk about it later. Just be careful for now.”
When the gold light disappeared, a shapeless gold sword floated midair. As if it were conscious, it was suddenly aimed at all the students.
“Hiu!”
The gold sword darted out. It was a sword at first, but then it became the mouth of a gigantic fish. Han Fei could see its teeth that looked like hills.
Han Fei’s soul was quivering and he was almost horrified. He remembered that fish that swallowed a boat, and his feeling at this point was the same. It almost choked him.
In the meantime, Han Fei felt the calabash on his wrist flash. He subconsciously blinked his eyes, but then the big fish was gone.
A lot of people around Han Fei were gone too. After the two intimidations, more than half of the 72 people had disappeared.
Han Fei turned around, only to see that Luo Xiaobai was panting palely and Le Renkuang was sweating hard, tightened. Xia Xiaochan and Zhang Xuanyu, on the other hand, seemed to be better than them.
Xia Xiaochan looked at Han Fei and said, “There are only 24 people left.”
Han Fei couldn’t help but click his tongue. What was this place? Those few words had already eliminated two thirds of the candidates.
Luo Xiaobai said, “Those students can’t be dead. If it’s so dangerous, the schools wouldn’t have let us come. Those words are more like a test to see if we’re qualified to enter the gate.” Crack! Crack! Crack!
Hardly had Luo Xiaobai finished that when the barrier around everybody was gone, and the gate a hundred meters tall was cracking heavily as if it were from thousands of hundreds of years ago.
The remaining 24 students quickly formed into groups, and Luo Xiaobai and Le Renkuang came to Han Fei.
Han Fei waved his hand and cast the Divine Healing Technique, and Le Renkuang moaned comfortably, “Phew! It was quite a horror just now.”
Luo Xiaobai took a long breath and said, “Thank god that we made it.”
On the other side, Su Yebai’s team had been gathered too and were looking at Han Fei. Their spirit gatherer was also healing his teammates.
“Huh? Han Fei, why is his healing technique different from yours?”
Zhang Xuanyu was quite curious. They had been used to Han Fei’s Divine Healing Technique, so they had no idea how it was different from other people’s healing techniques... Han Fei pretended to think for a moment before he said, “He might probably be too poor at the skill!”
To Han Fei’s amusement, his teammates all nodded as if they agreed with him.
Luo Xiaobai said, “Be careful. We’re still in a disadvantageous situation. We need to stop the three academies from joining hands.”
