C214 Test
On the side, Zhang Qiang's face sunk, and he looked at Lu Chen with the same unfriendly gaze.
"Thank you for your praise, Senior Sister. It was just luck." Lu Chen smiled bitterly and said humbly.
"It's impossible to do this with just luck. I heard that you and Senior Brother Zhang are betting to pass Stony Forest, the danger inside is not small, don't recklessly try to be brave."
"Thanks for the reminder." Lu Chen nodded with a smile. He wondered if he was mistaken. Zhao Menger seemed to have a good impression of him. Lu Chen felt a little weird. He didn't know this woman before, but was there another reason?
"Alright, Junior Sister Zhao. Why are you talking so much to a new disciple?"
"Now we are preparing to enter the Stony Forest, please step back to the side and be our witness." Seeing that Zhao Menger wanted to continue talking to Lu Chen, Zhang Qiang couldn't help but interrupt her.
"I thought I would have a good chat with this Junior Brother, but I didn't expect Senior Brother Zhang to be so impatient. Since that's the case, I will be the witness for this match. I wonder how Senior Brother Zhang and Junior Brother will compete?" Zhao Menger asked with a faint smile.
"The competition rules are very simple. I will enter Stony Forest at the same time as him, and whoever charges out in the first six hours will be determined to win. Of course, I will suppress my realm to the level of Martial Cultivator Stage to prevent others from saying that I am bullying the weak." Zhang Qiang snorted coldly after taking a glance.
"As expected of Senior Brother Zhang, his demeanor is indeed noble." Zhao Menger nodded with a smile. Although Stony Forest only tested one's martial talent, the level of cultivation would still affect the difficulty of the process. Zhang Qiang had suppressed his cultivation to the Martial Cultivator Stage, so after entering, the difficulty he had to endure was not too far off from Lu Chen.
Although he looked expressionless on the outside, he was actually quite happy in his heart. If he could easily defeat Lu Chen, the new disciple, in front of Zhao Menger in the Stony Forest Assessment, it might increase his impression of her.
"Junior Brother Lu, do you have any objections to this arrangement?" Zhang Qiang asked as he glanced at Lu Chen.
"I don't have any objections, but I do have one thing to remind Senior Brother Zhang. He should have brought those 40 or 50 medium-grade spiritual herbs, right?"
"You …"
"Junior Brother Lu, don't worry. If you can pass the Stony Forest in six hours, even if you're slightly slower than me, it's fine. You can still be considered the victor.
"With Senior Brother Zhang's words, I am completely at ease." Lu Chen smiled and said.
This Lu Chen really thought that he had already eaten his food. To think that Stony Forest could become a testing ground with a bit of fame in the First Peak, even if it were a few direct disciples, and to pass it within six hours, only they, the senior direct disciples, would be able to do so.
Zhang Qiang's eyes flickered, he did not believe that a mere Martial Cultivator Stage character could pass through Stony Forest in six hours.
He wasn't the only one who had this thought; the other disciples that were spectating also had the same thought.
"This Lu Chen doesn't know what's good for him, right?"
"Stony Forest is definitely not an ordinary trial, and even many direct disciples find it difficult to pass through the entire trial. Even now, he still has a carefree look, aren't he a little too confident in himself?"
"Who knows?"
"However, to be able to break the record when the Spiritual River was being poured on him, he must have had some ability. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used his identity as a direct disciple to fight Senior Brother Zhang."
"I still don't think highly of him."
… ….
The people outside the Stony Forest were in an uproar, and many of them looked at Lu Chen with a bit of regret. This new disciple was too young and vigorous, if he did not pass the examination within six hours, then the position of direct disciple that he had obtained with great difficulty would be given up, and the losses would be huge.
Of the several thousand First Peak disciples, there were only a hundred direct disciples. Not only did they represent a high status, they were also given a better treatment. In their eyes, when Lu Chen had agreed to participate in the competition, it was already a reckless action.
"They don't seem to be optimistic about Lu Chen."
"Is this Stony Forest really that difficult?" Sensing the attitude of the surrounding disciples, Wu Lia tightly furrowed his brows, was passing through Stony Forest this difficult?
"It's definitely going to be difficult."
"However, to Boss Lu Chen, he will definitely be able to pass through. No matter how difficult it is, he can at least beat that arrogant Zhang Qiang."
Fatty Wang Hao grinned. He had a blind admiration for Lu Chen.
"I hope everything goes well."
"Han Qian and I will listen to what you said and bet all of our soul crystals to Liu Tie. If we lose, we will truly be broke." Wu Lia shook his head and smiled bitterly. For the sake of betting on Lu Chen, they had gambled everything they had. Among them, not only was there Wang Hao's encouragement, but most of it was Lu Chen's ability that he had displayed since he had first met him.
Whether it was within the Blue Cloud City or inside the sect, the feeling Lu Chen gave them became harder and harder to see through. It was as if there was no limit or limit to it, and he was so strong that it was hard to believe.
Lu Chen did not notice that the image he had of Wang Hao and Wu Lia had unknowingly become invincible.
"Let's begin."
As the voice faded away, Lu Chen and Zhang Qiang looked at each other before calmly walking to the rocky area in front of them. There were astonishing fluctuations circulating there, and a heavy sense of pressure exuded from that area.
That was the Stony Forest. It was the place where the entire First Peak would have a small reputation. Only those with high talent in the Martial Way and a calm personality would be able to pass all of the tests.
Wu Liang glanced at Lu Chen and walked straight in.
Lu Chen smiled faintly. His steps were unusually steady. Under the crowd's gaze, he slowly walked into the hall. Almost in an instant, the two of them disappeared from everyone's sight.
"The Stony Forest and illusions are all over the place. Even if I did not suppress my cultivation realm, I would need nearly four hours to get out. This Junior Brother Lu, how long would he take?" As she watched the two figures disappear, a trace of anticipation flashed across Zhao Menger's beautiful eyes.
Lu Chen didn't notice the look of anticipation in Zhao Menger's eyes. The moment they entered the area of the Stony Forest, the scenery around them changed dramatically.
"Boom, boom, boom …"
The waves were surging and surging endlessly.
The huge, twisting, dragon-like river ran in front of them. Raging flames filled the sky and covered half of the sky. Magma flowed on the ground and emitted a scorching heat, as if someone was on fire.
