Compared to Li Nan’s nervousness, Luo Wanqiong was much more calm.
Her jade hand was splashing the spring water on herself while she spoke again.
“I’m asking you, are you deaf?”
Luo Wanqiong asked again in a somewhat unpleasant tone.
Hearing this, Li Nan only reacted from his surprise and hurriedly said, “Oh, Master …… Sister don’t worry, I’m ready, there won’t be any problem.”
Even though Li Nan did not want to, but it was really because the sight in front of him was too fascinating at a glance, so that Li Nan’s eyes simply could not move away and had to keep looking at Luo Wanqiong’s body.
Li Nan was also a normal person, he had been alone with the other party on top of this white mountain for almost a year, every day he didn’t see each other with his head down, it was impossible to say that he didn’t have any emotional ups and downs in his heart.
It was just that he had been trying his best to keep his sanity.
Luo Wanqiong was used to the two of them being together in this way, or perhaps her heart had long since transcended these superficial levels and she had no restraint at all.
I just heard her say, “What I want, is not just to not have any problems, but for you to be the first one to reach the Holy Hall!”
The new disciples’ training was to be in that Sword Desolate Ancient Land.
And in the hinterland of that Sword Desolate Ancient Land, there was an ancient Holy Hall situated.
All disciples had to follow the prescribed route and break through those ancient beasts to finally arrive in that Holy Hall.
A ranking is made of the time taken by all disciples to reach the Hall.
According to this ranking, the clan will reward the disciples accordingly.
The top few disciples would even be promoted to inner disciples!
This was also the reason why Luo Wanqiong wanted Li Nan to be the first to reach the Sacred Hall!
“Alright, I’ll try my best!”
Li Nan hurriedly said with a smile.
“Not try my best! But definitely! If you can’t be the first to reach the Holy Hall, don’t stay in my White Mountain in the future!”
Luo Wanqiong said nonchalantly.
Hearing these words, Li Nan could not help but be stunned for a moment.
This woman was really demanding a lot from herself!
Only, Li Nan was already secretly calculating in his heart whether he should deliberately lag behind a bit, so that he could logically leave this White Mountain and not continue to stay under Luo Wanqiong’s watchful eye?
At this time, Luo Wanqiong took another item from the shore and threw it directly to Li Nan.
When Li Nan took a glance at the item, he was shocked.
The thing in this hand seemed to be a piece of clothing, somewhat like a vest, yet clearly not an ordinary piece of clothing, as the workmanship and material of this piece of clothing was something that Li Nan had never seen before.
The most crucial thing was that it was put together with those clothes of Luo Wanqiong, which were obviously worn by Luo Wanqiong on a regular basis, and now it was thrown to him.
Li Nan’s heart went ape, this woman, what was the meaning of this?
“Senior sister, what does this …… mean to you?”
Although this thing is attractive to most men, but the point is, Li Nan also does not have a special hobby in this regard ah.
At this time, only to hear Luo Wanqiong then said: “This is the golden silk armor, has a protective effect, ordinary swords can not pierce at all, this time you go to training to wear on your body, may be able to use when critical.”
Hearing these words, Li Nan could not help but freeze.
He really didn’t expect that this woman would give herself such an important thing, that she would even care so much about an ordinary outer disciple like herself!
It seemed that this woman’s heart was not as cold as it seemed on the surface!
Li Nan was just about to say thank you, but he saw that Luo Wanqiong had already gone ashore at some point.
The graceful back was mesmerising.
Without waiting for Li Nan to see too clearly, a white dress had already been draped over the other party’s body.
“Remember, don’t come back to see me if you don’t win first place!”
After saying these words, Luo Wanqiong then flew away straight away.
Only Li Nan was left alone frozen in place with a complicated expression.
He felt more and more like this woman was not like his sister, but rather like his parent.
Without further thought, Li Nan put the golden silk armour on his body.
The golden silk armour was wonderfully tough, and even on Li Nan’s body, it fit him so well.
The fragrance that lingered on the golden silk armour made Li Nan drift off for a moment.
Two days later, it was finally the day of the new disciples’ training.
Early in the morning, all the new disciples, led by the old disciples, set off from Divine Martial Peak and travelled a long distance to gather at a place hundreds of kilometres away from Divine Martial Peak.
This whole long-distance trek was already a test, and many disciples who were not physically fit could not even last the distance of hundreds of kilometres and were directly eliminated.
And for those who were eliminated right here, the results that awaited them were already obvious.
For the rest of their lives, if nothing happens, they will only be able to do the most ordinary things and will always be in the ranks of the outer disciples.
After this long journey alone, as many as 300 disciples had been eliminated, accounting for 10% of the total number of disciples!
At this moment, the remaining new disciples had stopped.
In front of them were two lofty mountains that were like two huge sword blades.
And between these two great mountains was a road.
This was the entrance, and beyond these two mountains was the legendary Sword Desolate Ancient Land!
Looking closely, the entire Sword Desolate Ancient Land in front of him was actually somewhat like a huge city, wrapped in a circle of mountains.
There was even a huge city gate, a hundred metres high, on the road in the middle of the two large mountains, which looked spectacular!
It was said that the Sword Wasteland was filled with ancient beasts, and thanks to these mountains and the city gate, it would have been troublesome if the beasts in the Sword Wasteland had escaped to cause trouble.
At this point, an elder who was leading the group stepped forward.
This elder was named Guo Changfeng, and was an elder of the Lecture Hall of Martial Arts, responsible for teaching martial arts techniques, which Li Nan had met before.
At this moment, Guo Changfeng’s body was suspended in mid-air, looking down at the crowd below.
“This adventure is half a month long, and during this half month, you will have to rush to the Central Sanctuary as fast as you can through your own methods. On this journey, you may encounter many ancient beasts, as well as all kinds of difficulties, and you must all deal with them with twelve percent seriousness! Also, I will say it one last time, those ancient beasts are very fierce, and many disciples have lost their lives during the previous new disciples’ training sessions, so if any of you want to quit, it is still not too late!”
After Guo Changfeng finished speaking, he gazed at those disciples below.
At this moment, there was an uproar among those disciples.
Previously, they had all thought that there would be dangers in this new disciple training, but they had never thought that it would be this dangerous.
Naturally, they wanted to make a name for themselves in the sect, but many of them did not want to risk their lives.
After all, if they lost their lives, they would lose everything!
So, as soon as Guo Changfeng said this, some of those new disciples immediately stepped forward.
“Elder, I …… I give up!”
A disciple bowed his head and said.
Guo Changfeng nodded his head, “Good, you can go straight back later! Is there anyone else who wants to give up?”
“Elder, I …… I give up too, my mother only has one son, I can’t die.”
Another disciple stepped forward.
“Elder, I give up as well.”
“And me!”
“And me!”
Not long after, there were already more than two hundred more disciples who had stepped forward.
This time, the number of people left would only be 80% of the total number of people before.
Looking at the disciples who had given up in front of him, Guo Changfeng’s face did not show much expression.
This was not the first time he had led a disciple on a training trip, and he had already seen such scenes many times.
In fact, this was something that could not be faulted, you could not ask everyone to be needlessly alive or dead.
However, Guo Changfeng actually wanted to tell these disciples who had given up that the path of martial arts was originally full of killings and dangers, and could never be calm and peaceful.
If they wanted to live a calm and peaceful life, they should not have taken the path of the martial arts!
“Alright, all those who have given up, there will be senior brothers to take you back later.”
For these disciples who had given up early, Guo Changfeng did not have any lingering feelings.
These people did not even dare to take on such a little danger, so they were not destined to do much in the martial path in the future, and did not deserve any pity at all.
Afterwards, Guo Changfeng continued, “The rest of you, each of you has already got an arrow in your hand, if you encounter any danger that you can’t solve during your training, you can use the arrow, and our people will be the first to arrive to support you!”
“Alright, now, everyone follow the previous grouping and enter the Sword Desolate Ancient Land, the training begins!”
With an order from Guo Changfeng, the remaining two thousand disciples marched straight towards the city gate.
Accompanied by a “rumble!” The gate, which was a hundred metres high, opened with a loud thunderous noise.
Everyone entered the city directly.
Immediately afterwards, the crowd saw that what they saw before them was a vast and endless wasteland, with a cold wind blowing through it, causing the grass to fly in the sand, giving it an indescribable desolation!
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Li Nan wouldn’t have dared to imagine that such a desolate area existed in the midst of this lush and scenic Divine Martial Sacred Land!
This Sword Desolate Ancient Land was indeed different from the environment outside, so it seemed that this was really an ancient land that had been left behind from the ancient times, unchanged by the outside world, just as the rumours had it!
Unlike those disciples who had retreated from the battle, Li Nan had an inexplicable feeling of affection for this place and was eager to explore this ancient wasteland!
