"Senior Brother, what do you think?"
Seeing Ye Lin hesitate, Li Xiaoyao asked.
He had complete faith in Ye Lin's strength. Even he himself wasn't confident he could beat him.
"Fine."
After a long silence, Ye Lin finally nodded.
He had a good impression of Li Xiaoyao so far, and could afford to give him a hand.
If Li Xiaoyao really failed the Outer Sect assessment, he would lose a huge opportunity.
After all, Li Xiaoyao was a sheep worth a fortune to him.
If he failed the assessment and was sent away from Nameless Mountain, Ye Lin would effectively lose a great deal of wealth.
"Good. In that case, Senior Brother, I'll see you at the final stage."
Li Xiaoyao's face lit up when Ye Lin agreed.
With Ye Lin's word, the Outer Sect assessment was as good as won.
They only had to work together to defeat Zhao Liu. The five of them would be enough; the others posed no threat at all.
"Good. See you at the final stage."
"All right, Senior Brother. I'll take my leave, then. Safe travels."
"Safe travels."
With that, Li Xiaoyao flew off into the distance, and Ye Lin followed close behind.
"The first trial was physical strength, and the second was perseverance. The third should test combat strength."
As he traveled, Ye Lin pondered.
In moments, he arrived at a canyon. Demonic beasts filled its depths.
They were all Golden Core great demons.
To cross the canyon, they had to make it through the horde and reach the other end.
The disciples who had arrived earlier looked at one another. No one wanted to go first.
Whoever went first would have the other disciples following behind, and would bear the greatest pressure.
"Everyone, waiting around like this won't get us anywhere.
