Sitting there in wait along with the others, the fluctuations only grew more violent as time passed. The commotion here had caught the attention of all the examinees within the forest. The place was getting more and more crowded by the second.
Soon Li Tian noticed a lot of chatter from the left of his position and when he looked over, he found the reason for the commotion. In his vision was a very beautiful woman with hair as white as snow approaching the huge tree with her face as cold as ever. When she arrived she just looked for a place and stood there all by herself and the icy aura emitting from her body left none with the chance of approaching her.
Arriving there Mu Bingyun swept the area with her eyes and took in the surrounding. When her eyes fell on Li Tian who coincidentally at that moment was also looking at her, her brows furrowed. She could not understand how his cultivation increased so much in just a few days and she had a feeling that he seemed different. The thought did not linger much on her mind as her interest was diverted to the tree that was fluctuating before them.
Among the people present here at this moment was a girl with hair so red as though she was kissed by a fire god. Li Mei is the number one genius of her generation in the Li clan and the school belle of the university. Li Tian knew her and has always admired her. She had a very straight and violent personality which suited her needs as a fire cultivator and someone from a lineage of fire.
There was also Zhang Wei. Standing there with his black hair draped over his shoulders. Very burly and having muscles as if sculpted by the gods. Observing keenly one would notice that there were stronger wind currents where he stood.
And then there was Lin An. He wore a simple white robe and was very simple all things considered. There was a sword on his back and unlike the other powerful geniuses who walked around with an entourage, he was alone.
Everybody maintained silence and all eyes were focused on the distortion in the space in front of the tree. Soon all the violent fluctuations stopped and before the eyes of all present, space tore apart and a palace could be seen on the other side of the spatial gateway.
After the fluctuations finally settled down and everyone judged that it was safe to walk in, just when they started moving towards the gap a group of people suddenly appeared and blocked everyones path.
"Haha, this is truly a great opportunity, and opportunities like these are always accompanied by great danger. Everyone, It would be safer if you all could wait here while fellow cultivators Li and Lin join me in being the vanguard to explore this dangerous place. When we have made sure it is secure we will inform you all. Fellow Daoists what do you say" said Zhang Wei and he turned towards Li Mei and Lin An. They both agreed and a smile could be seen on the corner of Li Mei's mouth as she nodded. They both understood what Zhang Wei meant by his statement but since it did not affect them and in fact benefitted them, why would they stop it?
"Bullshit, you guys just want to take everything inside for yourselves. Do you think everyone present here was born yesterday" a voice from among the many people standing here sounded and this immediately raised the ire of Zhang Wei.
He turned around in anger and his eyes landed directly on the man who had spoken and without any delay he attacked the man. As he waved his hand, a gust of wind rushed and swept the man till he hit a tree. This silenced everyone as they were sure that if not for the ban on taking the lives of the examinees, this man would have been a corpse by now. No one wanted to be another example.
As everyone looked at the man they soon came to their senses
"What?, Qi manifestation realm? "
"When did he reach this stage?"
"what a monster"
"Could it be he had already reached this realm before we started the exam?"
Many thoughts ran through everyone's minds and gradually everyone concluded that Zhang Wei had been hiding his strength. His gaze swept through the people standing there as he and Li Mei both released their aura. To everyone's surprise, she too was in no way weaker than Zhang Wei.
"Who dares to go against our arrangement? step forward and let's see"
As his voice sounded, Zhang Wei continued looking at the people there with an intense gaze, and just like he anticipated no one stepped forward or even said a word.
However, right at this moment everyone saw a white-haired beauty slowly make her way toward the space gap, and to the surprise of all present none of the three heaven's pride geniuses even made a sound in protest. This left everyone to wonder what could be the background of the girl. None more so than Li Tian who had been observing this situation in silence for some time. He soon pushed his doubts about the girl to the back of his mind and returned his eyes to those who were blocking the entrance. He had grown tired of this farce and so without delay started moving towards the entrance.
It did not take long for him to be noticed.
"another fool who likes taking risks"
"he thinks he is the same as the girl from earlier…its going to be fun to see him beaten half to death"
"Does he think all of us standing here are fools?"
As Li Tian moved forward statements like these constantly entered his ears however he paid no mind to them. Soon he found himself face-to-face with Zhang Wei who at this moment was giving him a look of disdain, as if he was unworthy for him to talk to.
"another fool who wants to get beaten up. Trash boss Zhang is not going to dirty his hands with you. I am going to teach you a lesson on his behalf so that next time you will know when to behave"
As the man was talking to Li Tian the three geniuses turned and rushed into the gap, they didn't think Li Tian was worth the delay. Li Tian however had no time to stand here wasting with this fool so the man he directly sent him flying with a slap before passing by the others and disappearing into the space gap too.
