Chapter 165 Shocking Pass Rate

chapter 165 shocking pass rate

translator: borntobe

an explosion rang out from one of the caves of the stone wall, drawing everyone’s attention. a figure slowly walked out.

“it was actually an inner disciple trial!”

people let out a startled cry. that cave had been in the middle layer of the cliff and the cave opening was slightly larger.

“it’s ling hao!”

tang wan-er excitedly pulled on long chen’s hand. she smiled brightly with an unconcealable delight.

“hehe, yes, congratulations, congratulations.”

long chen gently rubbed her soft, jade hand. wasting such an opportunity definitely wasn’t his style, especially not when it had just been given to him straight-on.

“scoundrel, you...!” only after a moment did tang wan-er realize what he was doing to her hand. she had actually been taken advantage of like this. as if she was given an electric shock, she quickly took back her hand, ashamed and angry.

aiya, just how did she manage to grow such a hand? it’s somehow slender, soft, and warm, long chen praised inside.

just as long chen was reveling in that feeling and tang wan-er was about to beat him, ling hao shouted out, “sister wan-er, i, ling hao, have fulfilled my promise. i have returned alive.”

“good, quickly come rest.” tang wan-er nodded.

ling hao was covered in blood, and his shoulder had been pierced by something, revealing the bone beneath.

“thank you. take care sister.” ling hao nodded and brought the head to exchange for an inner disciple’s badge, then going over to guo ran to recuperate.

“excellent, ling hao is a good one.” long chen nodded and exclaimed in admiration.

tang wan-er sighed, “ling hao’s talent actually isn’t that great. for him to obtain an inner disciple badge really is shocking.”

“talent isn’t everything. temperament, determination, luck, and intelligence are all extremely important, important enough to change a person’s life,” said long chen.

inside he thought to himself, i don’t even have any talent. i don’t even have a spirit root. but can’t i also stand here just as well?

as the two of them talked, another blood-soaked fellow also walked out, excitedly running over in spite of his current condition and raising his head. “sister wan-er, i’ve succeeded!”

following this, more and more people began to run out, all with heads in their hands. the passion burning within their eyes moved tang wan-er deeply.

their success was actually in order to accomplish their promise to her. she stealthily glanced at long chen and saw his expression was still indifferent as if he had long since expected this outcome. his eyes were constantly roving around the highest level of caves.

in less than two hours, tang wan-er’s entire faction finished their trials. there were a total of three inner disciples and seventy-six outer disciples.

of her one hundred people, there had been a portion that had died in the trial region, while eight people had failed to keep their promise and died in the caves.

but even so, this result was absolutely shocking. it far surpassed the ordinary success rate. even the elders were startled. this success rate had already surpassed any other faction.

it was close to a ninety percent success rate. even the elders were moved by that. tu fang descended into thought.

at the beginning of this whole disciple test they had killed a couple impersonators in order to awe everyone. that was to let these geniuses realize the monastery was not their home; no one would spoil them like their families had.

in the trial region, they had set up a couple second rank magical beasts so that people would realize this was not a game. mistakes could lead to deaths.

as they entered deeper into the trial region, the chances of death only grew, telling people danger and opportunity were existences that came together. if you want to obtain more, you would have to face greater danger.

as they walked deeper and deeper, once they reached the final trial, they saw these gruesome and cruel deaths. that was so people would challenge the terror within their hearts.

following these layers of filters, the final people that had managed to survive through it all had matured greatly whether it was in terms of power, temperament, or intelligence. only such people were worthy of being groomed with the monastery’s resources.

but it seemed the disciples this time were a mix of people. at the beginning of the final trial, there had even been an idiot who had volunteered to go first, resulting in him being the first death of the trial and teaching everyone a lesson. that idiocy had caused tu fang to curse that person.

after all these twists and turns, the disciples that had managed to survive to the end and obtain their badge had already experienced being on the cusp of life and death. whether it was temperament or determination, they all had sharply risen. they were no longer greenhouse flowers, but saplings that had begun to face the real world’s wind and frost.

long chen had no choice but to admit that the xuantian monastery’s disciple selection truly was extremely perfect. but such harsh methods definitely didn’t suit every sect.

everyone clearly knew how harsh the xuantian monastery’s disciple selection was. and yet so many powers and families sent their geniuses to face that danger. it was obvious how powerful the xuantian monastery was.

as more and more people charged into the trial, the trial gradually began to near its end. that was because there were only so many complete tile sets. there was a limit on how many people could take the trial.

other than the five large factions, there were also quite a few others who had passed the trial. of those people, there were several who only managed to obtain the full set by buying it just now.

no one would laugh at such a person. in fact, they were filled with respect.

if they hadn’t had the strength to gather the tiles, then that meant they weren’t very strong. but to dare take this trial without strength, to disregard the danger of death, that definitely required a heroic courage.

after seeing so many cruel endings, there was already no one who would recklessly charge in. these people all made this decision calmly. that meant they truly had the heart of an expert and were not just blind fools.

that was also why the monastery would not do anything to those selling and buying the tiles.

this world didn’t have anything that was fair. if you wanted fairness, then go fight for that fairness. if you risked your life to struggle, the monastery would naturally leave a slim chance for you.

the trial progressed quickly. that was because this was no performance or act, but a true battle to the death. life and death were decided in just a moment.

in just a short six hours, other than the monster-class experts, almost everyone else had finished. it had been extremely tragic.

over half of lei qianshang and qi xin’s people had died. but what was surprising was that there were seventeen of their people who had obtained an inner disciple medal.

long chen sucked in a cold gasp. those two truly were ruthless. they had used their own people’s lives as gambling chips. their high death rate had definitely had to do with the level of difficulty they had chosen.

to them, the outer disciples were meaningless. in the future they would easily be able to gather more people. they only wanted powerful people. only then could they have a superiority during the struggles in the monastery.

as for yue zifeng and ye zhiqiu’s factions, their passing rate was actually not bad. they had around a seventy percent pass rate. but they also had less inner disciples. they had seven and eight inner disciples respectively. the rest were all naturally outer disciples.

tang wan-er’s side might have had the highest passing rate, but her whole force’s strength was also the lowest since she only had three inner disciples

“i’m going to go.”

tang wan-er’s beautiful gaze fell upon the mountain cliff. she had already walked out.
