Did Someone Pass the Camp Entrance Trial?
Ye Nan watched Ding Yunqiang's fist come at him.
He froze for a moment.
At such close range, he was completely unprepared.
Besides, when it came to cultivation realms,
He and Ding Yunqiang were both Senior Martial Masters on the surface.
But even among Martial Masters, some were stronger than others.
Ding Yunqiang's combat strength was certainly greater than Ye Nan's.
Although Ye Nan couldn't dodge it,
Blocking it was still easy enough.
Just as Ding Yunqiang's fist was about to strike his body,
A dragon's roar suddenly rang out.
After the roar sounded, a true dragon coiled around Ye Nan's entire body.
His body also shone with golden light, making him look like a golden god of war.
Bang!
Ding Yunqiang's fist struck his body.
Hiss!
After Ding Yunqiang's fist hit Ye Nan,
He couldn't even spare a thought for why Ye Nan hadn't been sent flying. He immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Y-you..."
Ding Yunqiang was scared witless.
How could he have imagined such a strange phenomenon would suddenly appear around Ye Nan?
How could the oppressive might of the Azure Dragon Divine Body be something a mere Senior Martial Master like Ding Yunqiang could withstand?
Qing Lingxue, Shi Wu, and Zhang Hao were in the room.
They were terrified and utterly dumbfounded!
When Ye Nan had killed dozens of mechanical insects just now, the Star River Heavenly Shadow Fist he had unleashed had already shocked them to the core.
Then Ye Nan had used Flowing Light Shadow Steps, and now there was the Azure Dragon Divine Body.
Qing Lingxue, Shi Wu, and Zhang Hao knew that if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes,
They would never have believed it, not even if they were beaten to death.
Route nineteen.
Ye Nan looked at the shaken Ding Yunqiang.
What had just happened had also made him realize something.
He had to stay alert at all times when facing an enemy.
Although this was only a camp entrance trial,
Just imagine:
If this hadn't been a trial, but a life-or-death battle,
And he hadn't possessed the Azure Dragon Divine Body,
He didn't need to think to know what the consequences would have been.
"I think I can go now, right?"
Ye Nan spoke to Ding Yunqiang with a calm expression.
"Yes, yes."
Ding Yunqiang was truly afraid now. He hurriedly nodded like a chick pecking at grain.
Seeing him like that, Ye Nan walked ahead.
There was an entrance up ahead.
It looked like route nineteen would end once he went through it.
A plaza on East Mountain.
A group of geniuses stood in the plaza.
They all still looked shaken, their faces pale.
Wang Lingxi was among them.
They had all failed to get through their chosen routes and had been brought here by the training camp's staff.
"Sigh, looks like I was too conceited before. I didn't expect the Genius Training Camp to be this insane."
"Isn't it because this entrance trial was too hard? So many of us failed to pass."
"Yeah, looks like no one will pass this entrance trial."
"I don't know what the camp's instructors were thinking. It's just an entrance trial, but they made it so hard. We only just got here, and now we're going home."
The geniuses in the plaza sighed and lamented.
When the entrance trial began, the voice over the loudspeaker had made it very clear.
If they failed the entrance ceremony, they wouldn't be able to truly train at the camp.
A member of the training camp's staff led Ye Nan to the plaza as well.
The geniuses in the plaza watched Ye Nan approach, all certain that he had failed the entrance trial too.
Among these geniuses, only Wang Lingxi knew Ye Nan could make it through. None of the others believed he could.
Wang Lingxi had made it to the second half herself, but she had failed because of a careless mistake.
Ye Nan went over to Wang Lingxi and asked:
"Wang Lingxi, did you make it through?"
Hearing Ye Nan's question, Wang Lingxi shook her head, a trace of regret appearing on her fair face.
"You didn't make it through?"
Hearing Wang Lingxi's answer, Ye Nan looked at her in surprise.
Wasn't route nineteen, the one I picked, the hardest?
"Ye Nan, of all of us, you should be the only one who passed, right?"
Wang Lingxi spoke to Ye Nan again.
Hearing that, Ye Nan couldn't keep his composure.
If that was the case, didn't it mean every route was difficult?
So many geniuses had failed the entrance trial.
If he were the only one to pass,
How was that any different from everyone failing?
What was the training camp trying to do?
Could it be that the instructors wanted to give up and stop running the training camp?
"Students!"
Suddenly, Qing Lingxue and the others appeared from somewhere.
Under the gazes of the geniuses in the plaza, the three instructors came to stand before them.
"Hello, everyone. I'm your instructor."
"My name is Qing Lingxue."
"My name is Shi Wu."
"My name is Zhang Hao."
"..."
The three introduced themselves to the dozens of geniuses before them.
"I think everyone believes the entrance trial was very difficult, a trial that was almost impossible to complete."
"Actually, even without you saying it, we think it was very difficult too."
Qing Lingxue smiled at the geniuses in the plaza.
Then she continued:
"We said earlier that if you failed the entrance trial, you couldn't truly earn a place at the Genius Training Camp."
"We were joking with you."
As soon as she said that,
The dozens of geniuses all trembled and stared at Qing Lingxue in astonishment.
Then that meant...
They could stay at the Genius Training Camp?
"But there's no need to get too excited. I can tell you something that will greatly shock you."
Qing Lingxue spoke again.
When the dozens of geniuses heard her, curiosity appeared in their eyes.
But they were now certain they wouldn't have to leave the Genius Training Camp.
Whatever it was, they felt they could accept it.
"Students, what if I told you the entrance trial wasn't a complete wipeout?"
"Would you believe me if I said someone made it through?"
As soon as Qing Lingxue said that, the dozens of geniuses in the plaza could no longer remain calm.
As if struck by lightning, they stared at Qing Lingxue in disbelief.
Ye Nan's expression barely changed. He had already come to the Genius Training Camp.
Even if it came out, he didn't mind.
But to his surprise, Qing Lingxue didn't name him.
Instead, she let the geniuses in the plaza discuss it among themselves:
"My heavens, it was that hard and someone still made it through? That shouldn't be possible."
"Did they make a mistake? No one should have made it through."
"How terrifyingly strong would someone have to be to make it through?"
"..."
The geniuses in the plaza couldn't believe someone had made it through the entrance trial.
But no matter how much they doubted it, they knew the instructor had no reason to lie to them.
The geniuses knew that anyone who could pass the entrance trial had to be in a completely different league from them.
But was there such a genius in Southeast Province?
