From a beggar on South Street to the supreme devil

Chapter 71 The trial begins

In the northwest corner of the Dragon and Tiger Sect’s base, at the foot of a low mountain.

A pitch-black tunnel, which is a full ten feet in radius, runs through the entire mountain. It twists and turns inside, and seems to go around the entire mountain and come out from the other side, a hundred feet away.

Several people have arrived in front of the tunnel, and the entire tunnel is separated by a heavy iron door.

"Is this the Dragon and Tiger Way?"

Jiang Chen looked at the tunnel with a little curiosity.

Zhao Gaoyang nodded and was about to speak.

At this time, footsteps were heard again behind them.

Jiang Chen looked back and saw a young man in black standing a few feet behind him, looking at him and the others with an indifferent expression.

Ok?
What does it mean……

At this time, Zhao Gaoyang, Pang Chunjun and others around him also noticed the figure behind them, and their faces suddenly looked a little unhappy.

"It's this kid again." Zhao Gaoyang cursed.

Jiang Chen was a little confused: "Who is this person?"

Zhao Gaoyang lowered his voice and said, "This is Bai Xuan from the Bai family in the inner city. He has had some problems with us before."

Inner City Bai Family...

Jiang Chen had also learned about the situation of the inner and outer city families before.

Leaving aside some small families, the Zhao family, to which Zhao Gaoyang belongs, can be regarded as the top family in the entire outer city.

The strength and foundation of the Zhao family in the outer city may not be worse than some ordinary families in the inner city.

Therefore, they would naturally want to move into the inner city.

This matter naturally has no impact on the top families in the inner city, but for ordinary families, it is a fight for their cake, and the inner city families will naturally not agree.

The families from the outer city wanted to come in, but the families from the inner city refused to let them in, so conflicts naturally arose between the two sides.

This should be the root cause of the conflict between Zhao Gaoyang, Pang Chunjun and Bai Xuan.

Otherwise, based on what Jiang Chen saw today, with the emotional intelligence of Zhao and Pang, it would be impossible for them to make enemies with others for no reason.

"This kid has actually passed the Dragon and Tiger Road a long time ago, but he insists on coming again every half a month." Pang Chunjun cursed in a low voice.

"Why is this?" Jiang Chen was slightly stunned.

Pang Chunjun said: "Although anyone who passes the Dragon and Tiger Dao can learn superior dark energy martial arts, there are also differences in the levels of dark energy martial arts."

"In the Dragon and Tiger Dao, there are three dark energy martial arts inherited from the Dragon and Elephant Sect. They are extremely powerful. Once mastered, they are far superior to those of the same level."

"But if you want to choose these three top dark energy martial arts, in addition to passing the Dragon and Tiger Dao, there are certain requirements."

"What request?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Outer disciples of the Liujin level are required to pass the Dragon and Tiger Path within sixty breaths. If they are inner disciples of the Iron Bone Minor Success, they are required to pass the Dragon and Tiger Path within thirty breaths."

Zhao Gaoyang smiled bitterly and said, “But for Liujin warriors like us, it’s good enough to pass, let alone pass it within sixty breaths…”

"And this guy is not satisfied even after passing. He comes to try it every half a month when the Dragon and Tiger Path opens."

"The most disgusting thing is that this bastard didn't leave after he was done. He stood there and watched us run. If we failed, he would even mock us."

Jiang Chen: "..."

The Dragon-Tiger Path is difficult and the trial-taker himself is under psychological pressure.

If there is an enemy who has a grudge against you watching you take the test, the pressure will be even greater, especially if this enemy has already passed the level...

Under this kind of pressure, any mental imbalance could result in being hit by the mechanisms in the Dragon and Tiger Path and causing failure in the trial.

Bai Xuan's behavior was truly disgusting. No wonder Zhao Gaoyang and the others' faces darkened when they saw him.

"Ah."

Bai Xuan seemed to have heard the conversation between several people and sneered with disdain.

He is a genius who is determined to reach the pinnacle of martial arts, so naturally he is worlds apart from these mediocre people from other cities.

Jiang Chen glanced at the man and didn't look at him any more.

This matter has nothing to do with him. His goal is just to pass the Dragon and Tiger Dao.

However, according to Pang Chunjun,
One must pass the Dragon and Tiger Way within sixty breaths to be eligible to choose the top martial arts.

It seems that I have to show some real skills...

…time passes slowly.

About a quarter of an hour later, outside Longhu Dao, in addition to Bai Xuan, several other unknown Liujin warriors also gathered.

An old man in a gray robe, with a slightly hunched figure and gray hair, walked slowly to the front of Longhu Road.

"This is..." Jiang Chen asked in a low voice.

Zhao Gaoyang lowered his voice and answered, "Our Dragon Tiger Sect's elder Shi Du is a master of internal organs training and specializes in controlling the operation of the Dragon Tiger Dao."

Shi Du glanced at the people outside the Longhu Road and casually slapped a huge stone tablet next to the tunnel.

boom--

Flames suddenly lit up on both sides of the dark and deep tunnel, illuminating the depths of the ten-foot-wide tunnel.

The silent tunnel seemed to be fully operational, and the rough sound of gears turning could be heard faintly.

The old man looked calm and said slowly, "Who will go first?"

"I'll come first!"

Bai Xuan's voice was confident and assertive, and Zhao Gaoyang and the others' faces darkened when they heard it.

Afterwards, Bai Xuan came to the Dragon and Tiger Road first, took a deep breath slowly, bent his knees slightly, and exploded instantly!

The whole person suddenly rushed into the Dragon and Tiger Road like an arrow shot from a bow!

From Jiang Chen's perspective, he could see that blades, flying needles, tripwires, traps...all quickly appeared on the Dragon and Tiger Road, up and down, left and right, whether on the left or right sides, above or below his head.

And they are obviously forged specifically for warriors, they are extremely tough and sharp, and have great power.

Bai Xuan held a long sword in his hand, slashing, blocking or dodging, moving quickly forward in the Dragon and Tiger Road, and then disappeared in this winding long road. Only various noisy sounds could be heard coming from the depths of the Dragon and Tiger Road.

……

After about dozens of breaths, the Dragon and Tiger Road came to an end.

Bai Xuan took a step forward and slowly exhaled a breath. At this moment, he looked a little disheveled, and it was obvious that he had tried his best.

He walked to the exit and bowed to Shidu: "Elder, I wonder how the results are this time?"

Shi Du said calmly: "Sixty-seven breaths."

"Seven more breaths..."

Bai Xuan frowned. It would be more and more difficult to improve as time went on. He didn't know how long it would take to make up for the gap of seven breaths.

However, he quickly put away his thoughts and turned to look at Zhao Gaoyang and others with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

Then he just stood there and watched, with no intention of leaving.

Ishiwatari said calmly, "Next."

Zhao Gaoyang's face darkened and he cursed in a low voice, but he did not hesitate and went straight to the Dragon and Tiger Road to start the trial.

……

Jiang Chen stood aside, silently watching the process of other people's trials.

Compared to Bai Xuan's sprint in the Dragon and Tiger Road, Zhao Gaoyang seemed much more cautious, moving forward little by little.

It took him half a quarter of an hour to come out from the other end.

"Damn it, I finally passed!"

Zhao Gaoyang breathed a sigh of relief, and then Shi Du took him into a heavy bronze door beside the tunnel and selected a book on dark energy martial arts from it.

Then the next person starts the trial.

Soon, the descendants of several other families from the outer cities completed the trials.

But except Pang Chunjun, the others all failed.

The loser only needs to shout and Ishiwa will stop the mechanism.

Generally speaking, even if you fail, you won't suffer serious injuries.

By the time they finished the trial, there were only a few trial-takers left on the field.

Jiang Chen stared at the tunnel ahead with dim flames and took a step forward.

"I'll try……"
