Chapter 79: Icy-Cold Snow

The Godfiends chatted and laughed as they watched geniuses charge through the tunnel one after another .

Soon, it was Yan Jin’s turn .

In the end, Yan Jin took 12 droplets to pass through the entire tunnel . His speed was comparable to Chu Yong’s—an excellent result . In truth, Yan Jin cultivated the Icefire Divine Body, and his Godfiend foundation was robust . His speed far exceeded ordinary Core Condensation experts . It was only because he had sparred with Meng Chuan many times that he had been suppressed so badly .

“I’m still a lot slower,” said Yan Jin via voice transmission to Meng Chuan when he returned to the group . “If I’m not wrong, I won’t be able to enter the top ten . ” Although Yan Jin was a solitary person, he often talked to Meng Chuan .

“You should enter the top ten,” said Meng Chuan .

“Many people who cultivate the Lightning Divine Body and Wind Divine Body excel when it comes to speed . Many haven’t had their turns yet,” said Yan Jin .

“Most of them have lacking Godfiend foundations . They can’t compare to you,” consoled Meng Chuan .

For example, a genius who cultivated a Lightning Divine Body but had an average Godfiend foundation might take 15 droplets to cross the entire tunnel . This showed how important a Godfiend’s foundation was! Meng Chuan, Yan Jin, Chu Yong, Yan Feng, Ji Yuantong, and Zong Sha had Godfiend foundations that were three times more robust than the average . This was roughly the limit . Even if they used ten times the amount of natural treasures, their Godfiend foundation would only increase from three times the average to four times the average . It was not worth it .

It was already rare for Meng Chuan—who came from an ordinary Godfiend family clan—to have a Godfiend foundation that was comparable to a top Godfiend family clan genius .

…

Time passed .

The geniuses took their turns . It was finally time for the two sharpshooters who caught everyone’s attention .

The number one archer in the imperial capital’s younger generation—the imperial princess, Li Ying, and the most outstanding archer during the first assessment, Zong Sha .

“19 droplets . Next, Imperial Capital’s Li Ying,” said the goateed man loudly .

The princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Li Ying, took her place . She was dressed in purple and carried a natural air of nobility . In terms of family background, she stood a little higher than the typical scions of Regis Godfiends .

At least within the Great Zhou Dynasty, the imperial Li family was still the number one Godfiend family clan .

Swoosh!

Princess Li Ying carried her bow and arrows as she transformed into a gust of wind . She passed through the tunnel with tremendous speed . Although she couldn’t catch up to the monstrous Meng Chuan, she surpassed the geniuses that had gone earlier .

Soon, she traversed the entire tunnel .

“10 droplets!” The goateed man’s announcement of the final result made many geniuses sigh in amazement . It was likewise for their relatives and friends . “Sharpshooters are going to shine . Sharpshooters tend to be faster . ”

After the imperial princess, it was Zong Sha’s turn after a few people in between .

“17 droplets . Next, Desolate State’s Zong Sha . ”

Zong Sha was an ordinary-looking youth . With a bow and arrow quiver on his back, he also transformed into a gust of wind . However, his speed seemed to be faster than Princess Li Ying .

“He’s like me . He cultivates a Wind Divine Body and has a very deep Godfiend foundation . ” Princess Li Ying watched and frowned . “However, his realm is higher than mine . He has already reached the peak of Force! He was slightly better than me in the first assessment, and his speed is greater than mine . ”

“Nine droplets!” The goateed man’s voice rose a few decibels . Over 120 geniuses had had their turns . He was the only one who managed to go below ten droplets other than Meng Chuan .

Zong Sha returned to the group calmly .

…

It was very difficult to pass through the entire tunnel within ten droplets . After Zong Sha’s 9 droplets, Jiang State’s genius—Ning Yibo—transformed into a stream of light and passed through the entire tunnel . He took 9 droplets and matched Zong Sha .

After more than two hundred people had their turns, another stunning genius appeared .

“So fast . ”

“This speed!”

This was a black-robed youth carrying a short spear . He had completely transformed into a bolt of lightning . He, too, cultivated the Lightning Divine Body and had also reached the pinnacle of the Force realm . His speed left everyone speechless .

Swoosh .

When he finally exited, the goateed man finally shouted the result . “8 droplets!”

Oh? The black-robed youth frowned when he heard that . I cultivate the Lightning Divine Body, and I arduously cultivate my movement technique and flying saber techniques daily . I’ve also reached the peak of Force . My family also spent five precious treasures on me . My greatest speed… is actually slower than Meng Chuan’s?

Cloud State’s Jin Huan? Meng Chuan memorized the black-robed youth’s name . Amongst the younger generation, his speed is actually close to mine .

He was faster than him by only ten percent .

…

“Cloud State’s Jin Huan has pretty good speed . If this were last year’s entrance examination, he would’ve been the fastest . ” A Godfiend sighed .

“His eruption of Quintessential Essence is inferior to Meng Chuan’s!” The sloppy man smiled . “For a split second, Meng Chuan erupts with twice Jin Huan’s erupted Quintessential Essence . Meng Chuan must have trained his meridians for a long time to release so much Quintessential Essence . In addition, Meng Chuan’s control over his body and Quintessential Essence is more refined . Only by combining these factors can his speed be much higher than Jin Huan’s!”

“Meng Chuan’s Quintessential Essence circulation method is indeed exquisite . It’s not inferior to some of the Godfiend legacies in our Archean Mountain . ”

“He might have obtained some incomplete legacy . ”

The vast majority of those present were Marquis Godfiends; there was also a Regis Godfiend! They could discern the profundity behind Meng Chuan’s Quintessential Essence circulation method .

It was a part of the Lightning Devastator Saber’s Five Lightning Descent . It only had this effect when fifteen times the normal amount of Quintessential Essence was unleashed . He was only ten percent faster than Jin Huan . Of course, the speed advantage was already huge!

…

After Cloud State’s Jin Huan, no one managed to traverse the tunnel within ten droplets .

“Lastly, Ji Yuantong of Archean City,” said the goateed man loudly .

Everyone turned to look .

Meng Dajiang also carefully stared at the thin youth . Ji Yuantong had been too dazzling during the first segment . He had far exceeded his peers .

Boom!

Ji Yuantong carried the two heavy hammers on his back and transformed into a black beam of light as he moved . The ground trembled slightly when he moved . Every step he took was very domineering . He quickly rushed out from the exit .

“10 droplets!” shouted the goateed man loudly . This time, he was much calmer . Although passing through the tunnel within ten droplets was outstanding, even the imperial princess had taken ten droplets to pass . However, considering Ji Yuantong’s halo, it was an expected result .

Meng Chuan nodded slightly as well . Those two hammers are probably a few hundred kilograms . If he discards the hammers, his speed will be greater . He will probably finish within nine droplets! However, an expert can’t discard their weapons easily . Ji Yuantong’s strength would halve without his two heavy hammers .

Therefore, Archean Mountain decided on a rule—one had to carry their weapons as they traversed the tunnel .

As Ji Yuantong returned to the group, the second segment was over . There were only four people who managed a result of fewer than 10 droplets .

Jiang State’s Ning Yibo and Desolate State’s Zong Sha managed 9 droplets . Cloud State’s Jin Huan managed 8 droplets, and Wu State’s Meng Chuan managed 7 droplets . Meng Chuan’s speed placed him in the top three fastest in Archean Mountain’s last 20 entrance examinations . The might of Ji Yuantong’s hammer placed him in the top three in the past twenty years as well . This year was definitely a standout year for Archean Mountain’s entrance examinations .

The higher the standards, the more difficult it would be to obtain the admission spots .

Whoosh . The cyan-clothed woman stood there . With a wave of her hand, the massive tunnel dissipated . She coldly swept her gaze across the group of geniuses and said, “The 19 people who took over twenty droplets of time are eliminated . You can go to the side to spectate . ”

The cold wind continued to blow as snow fell on every person .

The 19 eliminated geniuses found the wind bone-piercing . The snow was cold, but their hearts were even colder . If they couldn’t enter Archean Mountain, they would have to head to the battlefield to serve in the military . They had to work hard to accumulate credit so they could enter the Godfiend Blood Pool . Most of them would perish while accumulating credit . They wouldn’t even have the chance to enter the Godfiend Blood Pool .

Fairy Meng was the only person among her peers who had managed to enter the Godfiend Blood Pool . She was the only one who had become a Godfiend in her group of geniuses .

The geniuses silently walked towards their friends and family—who sighed as they watched .
