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.
