Soul Emperor Martial God

Hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Talents were swiftly climbing up the steep cliffs of this majestic mountain.

Especially the elder's last words, which drove the crowd of Heavenly Talents into a frenzy.

For the Heavenly Hidden Academy to dare claim the reward is generous, how could it possibly be low?

However, although the reward is tempting, one must have the ability to take it.

This mountain climbing is one of the six challenges; the difficulty is self-evident.

Many Heavenly Talents who had originally climbed to a high position and were leading suddenly let out exclamations of surprise.

"Damn, this is..."

"Damn, are they playing with us?"

"..."

Many Heavenly Talents suddenly slipped and began cursing.

Xiao Yi furrowed his brow; his position was roughly in the middle of the pack among the Heavenly Talents.

Climbing another hundred meters or so, the Primordial Power that tightly adhered to the mountain wall suddenly slipped from his palm.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly; otherwise, he would have fallen embarrassingly.

"So this is the reason; the mountain wall is changing, interesting," Xiao Yi chuckled lightly.

He finally understood why the previously leading Heavenly Talents suddenly became furious.

The angle of the mountain wall was actually changing randomly.

Normally, a mountain wall shouldn't be so smooth, making it impossible for people to grip properly.

It's very clear that, apart from the No-fly Formation, other means existed on this mountain wall.

These methods made the mountain wall incredibly smooth.

The climbing Heavenly Talents needed to release Primordial Power to adhere to the wall.

But at the same time, the smoothness of the wall was randomly changing, which essentially disrupted the balance of the palm's Primordial Power.

Naturally, the Heavenly Talents would unexpectedly slip and fall.

To climb effortlessly to the mountain peak, Martial Artists must have extremely quick reaction speeds and extremely strong Primordial Power control abilities.

Only then can they cope with the constantly changing smooth mountain wall.

However, this is evidently a very difficult task.

Time gradually passed.

Almost most of the Heavenly Talents were continually climbing a certain distance only to suddenly slip again.

And a few powerful Heavenly Talents gradually adapted to the changes in the wall's smoothness and were climbing steadily.

Still, even in this steady climb, there was a competition in speed.

After all, there are only ten generous rewards.

Several hours later, almost all the Heavenly Talents had climbed to halfway up the mountain wall.

It was at this moment that the competition suddenly intensified.

"Get the hell down, the reward is mine!"

A Heavenly Talent suddenly struck a fierce palm towards another Heavenly Talent ahead of him.

The unsuspecting Heavenly Talent was instantly hit and quickly slipped down.

"Despicable!"

Once a fight started, it erupted everywhere.

More and more battles appeared on this mountain wall.

Below, ten elders smiled playfully, apparently not surprised and evidently having expected this.

The so-called difficulty of mountain climbing might be hardest in this regard.

Similarly, several Heavenly Talents were besieging Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi didn't care in the slightest, casually unleashing a few Sword Qi attacks, instantly blasting these Heavenly Talents away.

His display of strength easily deterred the surrounding Heavenly Talents, granting him some peace.

Xiao Yi climbed slowly.

In fact, this so-called difficulty of climbing the mountain posed almost no challenge to him.

Though he couldn't perform Sky-controlling Flight, his climbing speed could be much faster.

The so-called control of Primordial Power, reaction speed, and so on.

In fact, it was more of a test of the combat experience of these Heavenly Talents.

A truly battle-hardened Martial Artist with exceptional combat experience would not have weak Primordial Power control or slow reactions.

Because, in a real life-and-death battle, a little carelessness could lead to death.

This smooth mountain wall posed no difficulty for him.

Not to mention, he was a Body Cultivation Martial Artist, climbing to the mountain peak was just child's play.

He intentionally slowed his pace, only to observe Lih Fengxing and the others.

Indeed, his eyes were almost always on Lih Fengxing and the others.

However, Lih Fengxing and the others didn't detect him among the dense crowd.

Suddenly, behind Lih Fengxing, a fierce Sword Energy slashed at him.

Lih Fengxing reacted swiftly, easily blocking it.

Beside him, Chu Rou and Cheng Suyan were also suddenly attacked.

"Get lost, you two little girls," a Heavenly Talent wielding a heavy hammer charged at the two.

Chu Rou, being slightly stronger, dodged with ease.

However, Cheng Suyan took a hit and coughed out a mouthful of blood.

Thanks to Chu Rou's quick reflexes, she caught her, preventing her from sliding down.

"Bastard," the Eldest Prince beside them struck a punch, blasting the Heavenly Talent away.

In the distance, Xiao Yi watched everything and nodded slightly.

This group, in terms of strength among all the Heavenly Talents, was at best average.

Yet, the group supported each other and cooperated seamlessly, managing to avoid danger.

Xiao Yi considered stepping in to help them, but then thought this was their opportunity and test; it was better not to intervene.

Their full effort would instead make it a rewarding tempering experience.

Another few hours later, some of the top Martial Artists gradually reached near the mountain peak.

Xiao Yi glanced around and instantly burst into speed.

With a palm strike, the smooth mountain wall posed no resistance at all.

With a stomp, the terrifying physical strength propelled him upward several hundred meters.

In just moments, Xiao Yi caught up with the leading Heavenly Talents.

Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...

Simultaneously, the Heavenly Talents at the front seemed to have an unspoken agreement and erupted with speed.

Several figures, at incredible speeds, climbed to the mountain peak.

Several people exchanged glances, their eyes full of fighting spirit.

Among them, Xiao Yi shrugged, ignoring the others and walked to the side.

There, the reward Qiankun Bags placed by the Heavenly Hidden Academy were already set.

Xiao Yi casually picked one up and waited.

A few minutes later, several more figures leapt to the mountain peak.

Thus, the ten places were taken.

Four hours later, more and more Martial Artists adapted to the changing smooth mountain wall and reached the peak.

Four hours later, on the mountain peak, the gathered Heavenly Talents numbered as many as a hundred thousand.

Of the hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Talents, about one-third reached the peak.

Whoosh... suddenly, an elder's figure appeared out of thin air.

A second ago, he was clearly at the foot of the mountain; a second later, he instantly appeared at the mountain peak.

"Alright, the mountain climbing journey can end now," the elder's ringing voice echoed around the mountain walls.

For so long, it was already difficult for those who hadn't reached the mountain peak to arrive now.

The elder lightly pressed his palm, blasting back the still-climbing Heavenly Talents to the ground.

"Those who did not reach the peak failed the examination; now, you can leave," the elder loudly declared, no longer paying attention to the Heavenly Talents below the mountain wall.

Instead, he turned to the hundred thousand Heavenly Talents on the mountain peak.

"Congratulations, you've passed another test. Next, come with me," the elder said slowly.

A flicker of his silhouette, he was already at the forefront of the Heavenly Talents, leading the way.

The crowd of Heavenly Talents followed along.
