The Phoenix Feather Sect Entrance Exam registration,


    "Name?" The registrar asked.


    "Mo Fan!" reply came from the man whose facewas coveredwith a cloak.


    The registrar engraved his name on the disciple card before handing it to him.


    "The entrance test willmence in an hour. Go and stand at the gate with the others. The elder will soon arrive to exin the testprocess" The registrar informed, pointing at the crowd of cultivators standing in front of the gate of Phoenix Feather Sect.


    The cloaked man nodded as he left towards the crowd, leaving the registrar to attend to another man.


    After standing among the crowd, Mo Fan revealed his face, removing his cloak and putting it back into the space ringthat wasgiven to him by the second elder of the Vine Bull Sect.


    He let out a sigh of relief: "Ha.. I''m safe now!"


    Now that he was in the territory of the Phoenix Feather Sect and has participated in the entrance test, he is safe from the Mo Family. Even if the patriarch himself came for him, the phoenix Feather Sect would protect him until the test was over.


    He looked around as a person withbrown longhair tied to his backcame to greethim: "Brother, do you know whatwill be the test?"


    Mo Fan shook his head as he said: "NoBrother, I have no idea!"


    "Ah, how silly of me. I didn''t even tell you my name." The brown-haired guy facepalmed himself before extending his hand for a handshake: "My name is Luo Canandyou are?"


    "Mo Fan, that is myname" Mo Fan answered as he shaked his hand.


    Luo Can wasn''t particrly good-looking and appeared to be of a poor background. Mo Fan wasn''t suspicious of him having any ill intent.


    At this moment, a sneer reached Mo Fan''s ears: "Ah, isn''t this cousin Mo Fan who ran with his tail between his legs some days ago?"


    Mo Fan recognized this voice very well as he felt his blood boil: "Mo Pian, What are you doing here? Aren''t you an inner disciple of Vine Bull Sect?" He asked, yelling with wide eyes.


    "Why are you surprised?Even you, a thief who is wanted by the MoFamilyis dreaming of joining this sect, so why can''t I join?"Mo Pian scoffed with a smile.


    "Mo Pian, I''m not dreaming! I will join the Phoenix Feather Sect and save Yun Er. No one can stop me!" Mo Fan dered with determination shining in his eyes.


    "Well, that''ll happen when you can take the exam, right?" Saying that, Mo Pian pounced at Mo Fanforminga punch by clenching his fingers.


    Mo Fan took a defensive stance, however, before the punch could connect,


    Grab!


    Elder Lo Pu appeared as he grabbed Mo Pian''s hand with a calm expression as if not exerting any force.


    "Stop if you don''t want tobe disqualified!" Lo Pu''sthunderousvoice reverberated in the area.


    "Huh? Where did he appear from? Wasn''t he supposed to appear an hourter?" Ashen,who waslooking at this scene from afar, couldn''t help but shout in surprise internally.


    It was he whocalled Mo Pian here to increase problems for Mo Fan. His firstyer of n wasto not letMo Fan reach the Phoenix Feather Sect, However, he was clever enough to hide his face while entering.


    The secondyer was Mo Pian. To make him fight Mo Fan.


    Ashen didn''t hopefor Mo Pian todefeat or kill Ashen with his own hands. He knew it wouldn''t be possibleandmost likely, Mo Pian would get beaten to a pulp by Mo Fan, but that was what Ashen wanted to see.


    If Mo Fan fought with Mo Pian, he would get disqualified from the entrance testandthen hewouldn''t have the sect''s protection. Ashen would just kill him here or maybe deplete his luck by a lot.


    But that n failed with Lo Pu''s sudden appearance.


    Well, there were otheryers to nas wellsoAshen wasn''t too disheartened.


    "Systemshow me his luck points!"


    Now that Mo Fan was close to Ashen, he wouldn''t need to spend extra viin pointstojustsee the luck points of Mo Fan.


    [Ding!


    Mo Fan: 190000 luck points]


    "20000 Luck points have been used since thest time. Is it to bring Lo Pu here?" Ashen thought. However, he soon stopped thinking about it. He had more important things to worry aboutandso he left.


    Meanwhile, Mo Pian and Mo Fanbothcalmed downandelder Lo Pu floated in the sky for everyone to see.


    "Disciples who have gathered here, I, Lo Pu, Wee you all!" His voice reverberated in everyone''s ears loud and clear.


    "Now, let me inform you about the testthat you all are going totake.There are two stages in the test."


    At thismomentthe humongous gates of the Phoenix Feather Sect opened, revealing long golden stairs that were a bit long in length and seemed to have almost 150 steps.


    "The First Test is in front of you. It is to climb these stairs! These stairs have a formation around them that ces gravitational force on anyonewho isclimbing them. With each step, the gravitational force you experience will increase. Like this, to pass this test, you''ll have to climb all the stairs without giving up.


    "Also, If you want to give upthenfall on your kneesandgravitational force will stop.Thisalso means you can''t rest in between by sitting on the stairs because that will stop the gravitational forceandyou willbe consideredeliminated."


    "And don''t worry, The gravitational force that one will experience will depend on his cultivation stagesodon''t think that anyone is having it easier than you, understand!"


    "Yes!!" A loud shout in unison came from the crowd.


    "The motive behind this test is to test your determination and willpower.To seeif you have the courage to take the next stepknowingthat the difficulty will increase.Isn''t cultivation also like this?With every increase in stages and realms, it bes difficult to advancefurtherbutonly someone who is determined and doesn''t give up can reach higher heights.Our sect doesn''t want someone who gives up easily!"


    Saying this, Lo Pu looked at everyone''s expressionandhe was pleased.


    Everyone had determined looks as if ready to go to war. It was refreshing to see such vigor.


    He paused to let the information settle in everyone''s mind before questioning: "Does anyone have any questions?"


    *Silence*


    Silence weed his ears as he nodded before moving on: "Alright, then let''s move on to the second stage of the test!"


    "It is simple. Youjusthave to defeat a phantom of the same strength as you. It can be a phantom of any spirit beastbutit will have the same cultivation level as yousodon''t worry. Also, if you lose, it won''t take your life even if you losebutyes, you willbe eliminatedfrom the test."


    "The motive behind this test is to analyze your skills, your ability to think and remain calm in a life-threatening situation, your bravery and to see your movements, strength, defense and other aspects obat"


    He once again looked at the expressions of everyone presentandthis timesomebecame nervous while some maintained their previous expressions.


    "Any questions?" He asked.


    And onceagainhe was weedwith silence. So he moved on.


    "After both stages of the test are over, the peak masters of the sect who will be watching you throughout the test wille and ept you into their peak.If someone is approached by more than one peakmasterthen he will have the right to choose whichever peak to join.


    Furthermore, even if you pass boththestages and no one wantsyouthen you''llhave to return and won''t be able to join the sect!"


    "What? Even if we pass thetestthere is no guarantee that we will join the sect? That''s ridiculous!"


    Murmurs and shouts of shock began to reverberate in the surroundings.


    "Silence!" Lo Pu shoutedwith athunderousvoice: "Do you think it is that easy to join one of the top ten sects of the southern part of the empire?"


    "If you don''t want to take the test, you are free to leave, however, I won''t tolerate this type of behavior in my sect!"


    He shouted with wide eyes filled with fury as everyone became silent and didn''t dare to look him in the eye.


    LoPu,then took a deep breath, calming down as he gestured in a direction, announcing: "The test starts now!"


    *Gong* *Gong* *Gong*


    Gong sounds resounded, announcing the start of the test.


    "Hehe, Young master Mo Chen told methe way to clear these stair.Mo Fan, let''s see how you will enter the Phoenix Feather Sect!" Mo Pian mused to himself before walking up the stairs.


    "Brother Mo Fan, we should also hurry!" Luo Can suggested.


    "Yes, Let''s gobrotherLuo Can!" Mo Fan nodded in agreement before getting on the stairs.


    "Hmff" He groaned, feeling as if a small boulder hadbeen cedon his shoulders, however, he persisted, taking another step forward.


    He felt the pressure increase, however, soon, He felt warm inside as the pressure gradually reduced.


    "W-What? The gravitational force can also make the warm current flow?" He expressed his shock as he took another step, feelinglittle pressurepared tothe other participants.
