Shu Mountain's entrance examination had a total of three trials.
The first trial was an aptitude test.
The second trial was the Heart-Questioning Pass.
It questioned one's true heart, to see whether one possessed a pure heart for pursuing the Dao.
The third trial was a contest between disciples, where they went to the martial arena for Magic Battles.
Ling Xuanxiao had also crossed quite a few people off his previous records during these three trials.
For instance, the youths named Ye Fan, Wang Teng, and Han Li.
None of the three had passed the Heart-Questioning Pass.
Further investigation revealed that none of them possessed a firm heart for pursuing the Dao.
Sure enough, they merely shared the same names.
This world might have been a little topsy-turvy, but at least it was not some hodgepodge.
Actually, encountering Ye Fan, Han Li, or Wang Teng would not have been too bad.
The most crucial one was Gu Yue Fangyuan from Southern Border.
That name was far too terrifying.
Yet he had passed the first two trials, and his strength was considerable.
What made Ling Xuanxiao shudder the most was that during the examination—
While he had been recording things from the side, Gu Yue Fangyuan had glanced at him.
Looking at me once = immense malice = a severe threat to personal safety = wants to refine me and improve his aptitude = an enemy who must be eliminated.
Yet during the next day's examination, Gu Yue Fangyuan had turned a blind eye to Ling Xuanxiao.
Ling Xuanxiao became even more certain.
Not looking at me? Did he have a guilty conscience?
A guilty conscience = wants to launch a sneak attack, plot against me, bears a grudge against me = a severe threat to personal safety = an enemy
