Chapter 10 Firm as a Rock
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56A quarter passed very quickly. Lin Tian asked an elder he was familiar with in town to take care of Lin Xi for the time being, and went to the site for the second test with the other examinees under the examiner.
The second test was about mental power!
The road of martial cultivation was full of hardships. Talent was important, and so was mental power. If one only had great talent but no strong will, it was likely that he wouldn’t make any achievement in martial cultivation in the future. He would even be less accomplished than those without great talent.
There were a lot of temptations in this world, such as power, wealth, beauties. To martial artists, any of them could be deadly. If one didn’t have a strong will, he could get lost and be demotivated.
Therefore, talent was just a prerequisite.
Without a strong will for martial cultivation, no matter how gifted a martial artist was, it was useless.
The test site for mental power was in an empty courtyard behind the martial institute. There was a huge formation in the middle of the courtyard, and it was imprinted by a strong cultivator at Mentality Vessel Stage. As an illusionary formation, it was especially used for testing the mental power of martial artists.
Lin Tian walked towards the backyard of the martial institution with the other examinees.
Both Mo Sen and Xiao Yun were among the crowd too. They stared at Lin Tian’s back like a viper with a dark face.
“You’re back, Elder Mo.”
At the front of the crowd, the examiner in charge of the second test stopped.
A middle-aged man, about 47, passed by before them. He exuded an aura of composure.
Seeing this middle-aged man, Mo Sen beamed with joy and walked towards him.
“Uncle.”
Mo Sen called as he approached that middle-aged man.
That middle-aged man nodded at him, glanced casually at the examinees and then looked at the examiner at the front of the pack. “It’s said that there’s a martial artist with nine-star talent. Who’s that?”
Just when the examiner was about to answer him, Mo Sen beat him to it.
“It’s him, that bastard from the Lin family.”
Mo Sen pointed at Lin Tian.
The middle-aged man, Mo Yi, was from the Mo family of Fengjian City. He was also one of the few elders of Jiuyang Martial Institution. Hearing Mo Sen’s answer, he looked coldly at Lin Tian.
A few moments later, he looked back at the examiner at the front.
“Take them to the test site, and tell them the rules in advance.”
After saying that, he walked towards the backyard first.
The elders of Jiuyang Martial Institution visited the site for the second test occasionally. This time, since his nephew Mo Sen took the exam, and he turned out to have five-star talent, Mo Yi naturally would have a look.
“Humph!”
Mo Sen glanced at Lin Tian with a sneer, followed Mo Yi and walked towards the backyard.
Lin Tian was composed. He disdained what Mo Sen was doing, followed the crowd and arrived at the site for the second test soon under the examiner.
“Just get in, everybody. Later, you’ll be sinking into a huge illusionary scene, and the second test is about what happens in the illusions. There are three challenges in this round of test, and the time limit is two hours. The sooner you get out of your illusionary scenes, the stronger your mental power is. Those who don’t get out of the illusionary scenes in two hours fail, and will be eliminated.”
The examiner introduced.
The moment he finished his words, the examinees went into the huge formation one after another.
“Play the formation!”
The examiner shouted when he saw all the examinees had gone into the formation.
Lin Tian was standing in the giant formation. The moment he heard “play the formation”, the scene before his eyes changed suddenly, and the blood-red space greeted his eyes. There were countless ferocious ghosts showing their fangs and claws. Meanwhile, devils and demons were striding towards him. The iron chains were shaking, and the huge axes were gruesome, as if they were going to drag Lin Tian into the eternal hell.
Lin Tian was calm, paying no attention to them at all.
He had lived two lives as a human being, so how would he be afraid of ghosts?
He stayed put. Ghosts and demons rushed to him head-on, and went straight through his body.
Lin Tian passed the first challenge!
“It’s so boring.”
Lin Tian said to himself.
The next moment, the scene changed again. The sun was bending in the west, and a huge army was surging forward on the horizon. The ground was shaking. Thousands of cavalries rushed towards him with spears in their hands, emitting the smell of blood and cruelty.
Lin Tian stood still, his expression unchanged.
A few days ago, Lin Tian had an extremely real dream in the Qing Mountain out of Fengjian City. Nine strange figures were fighting in front of him. The sky was torn apart, while the ground collapsed. The sky and ground went upside down due to the war of nine.
Compared to that dream, what was the scene before his eyes?
Thousands of cavalries surged forward, roaring. Their tremendous momentum rushed to the highest heavens. However, when they drew closer to Lin Tian, the illusion failed to continue on its own. The huge army broke apart instantly, and vanished on the spot.
Lin Tian passed the second challenge!
“The last challenge.”
Lin Tian said to himself.
In the third challenge, he appeared in a luxurious palace, in which there were sheer curtains and pools, and the air smelt sweet. Dressed in transparent gowns, a dozen young girls with curvy figures were dancing seductively and moving towards him slowly, showing their bare skin from time to time.
In an instant, naked girls were everywhere in the palace, and the air was filled with lust.
The dozen young girls laughed coquettishly and looked charming, like a dozen vixens.
“Come with me!”
Said the tantalizing voice. The dozen young girls snuggled up to Lin Tian, their tender skin rubbing against his body. Their gowns were slipping down slowly. In a moment, a dozen sexy naked bodies met Lin Tian’s eyes without reservation.
The primitive desire was enough to make any man’s blood boil.
“Tsk.”
Lin Tian stood still, gave a cold smile and ignored everything.
He had lived two lives. Besides, having experienced what happened between Xiao Yun and him after he traveled to this world, Lin Tian realized one truth, and that was, in this world, if one was poor, powerless and weak, beauties were simply floating clouds and bubbles to him.
Now, Lin Tian had nothing, so all this was an illusion to him.
In this palace, he remained steadfast and firm as a rock.
At present, the only thing he needed to do was cultivate himself and become stronger!
On the platform made of white jade in the courtyard, Mo Yi looked into the formation field with his hands clasped behind his back. There were two other people next to him, both elders of Jiuyang Martial Institution. One was called Mu Qing, the other Shi Dong.
“I saw many people with great talent this time. Tell me who do you think will get out of the illusionary scenes first during the second test?”
Mu Qing asked.
He was staring at the huge formation in front of him, but his eyes fixed on Lin Tian.
The elderly man in charge of the first test had already told Mu Qing and the other elders about the result of the talent test. Therefore, Mu Qing naturally had full expectations for the one with nine-star talent.
“I don’t know. Mental power has nothing to do with talent. Some martial artists have great talent, but weak mental power, while others don’t have great talent, or even the talent for martial cultivation, but their mental power is so strong.”
Shi Dong shook his head.
“Mo Yi, what do you think?”
“I agree with him.”
Shi Dong said with a smile, “However, no matter what great talent the examinees have this year, in terms of mental power, nobody can beat that kid, Mo Ji. He is the martial artist with the strongest mental power I’ve ever seen in my whole life.”
“That’s true. That guy remains steadfast in martial cultivation. He’s simply born for martial art.”
Mu Qing echoed with Shi Dong.
Mo Ji was Mo Yi’s nephew, so Mo Yi couldn’t help but smile when hearing what the two said.
“Mo Sen must also have strong mental power under the influence of his elder brother. In my opinion, the first one getting out of the illusionary scenes will most likely be Mo Sen.”
Mo Yi said.
Shi Dong nodded. “Very likely.”
“Speaking of which, how long did it take Mo Ji? About a quarter?”
“Right, a quarter. Now, only half a quarter passed, and we can rest for another while.”
The three of them talked and laughed.
However, the next moment, the smile froze on the three people’s faces at the same time.
In the huge formation in front of them, Lin Tian suddenly opened his eyes.
“What happened?”
“Could it be...”
The three of them were shocked together.
In the formation, Lin Tian glanced calmly at the other examinees, and walked out of the formation with composure under the examiner’s widened eyes.
“Well...”
Watching Lin Tian walking to the side, the examiner in charge of the second test almost froze on the spot.
Lin Tian got out of the illusionary scenes in half a quarter!

Naturally, there was more than one examiner for the second test in the backyard of Jiuyang Martial Institution. At this moment, everyone was stunned. They stared at Lin Tian as if he was a monster.“Mo Ji’s record was broken.”Mu Qing was stupefied.Generally speaking, it took an ordinary person an hour and a half to get out of the three illusionary scenes during the second test. Back then, it had taken Mo Ji a quarter to shatter all the illusionary scenes, which was already astounding, and Mo Ji had refreshed all the historical records of the martial institution.But now, Mo Ji’s record was refreshed again.Half a quarter!It only took Lin Tian half a quarter!Shi Dong gave a bitter smile. “Doesn’t this teenager have any distracting thought in his mind?”As the elder of Jiuyang Martial Institution, Mu Qing and Shi Dong were advanced and sophisticated cultivators, but at th

But it smells so bad. No wonder you’ve been holding it in.”Lin Tian gave a faint smile.Mo Sen’s face became more distorted. Now he realized that he had fallen into Lin Tian’s trap.“F**king s**t! Just wait! I swear that I will kill you! I’ll definitely kill you! You have to die! You must die!”Mo Sen looked devilish.Lin Tian sneered at once, “I see eye to eye with you on that,

As for whether it’s allowed or not, why not ask for their opinions?”The middle-aged man tilted his head and stared at that high platform.Not only him, but all the other people turned to look at that platform, including Lin Tian.Mu Qing and Shi Dong shook their heads and wer

He stared indifferently at Mo Yi, who was on the other side of the drill platform, and said, “Viciously? When Mo Sen applied the combat craft and cut me, you didn’t say anything. Now that Mo Sen is cut by me, you jump out immediately and blame me for my viciousness. Elder Mo, you really are a just elder.”Lin Tian said in a cold tone, but anyone could hear the irony in his words.“How dare you say that! Is this how you talk to an elder?”Mo Yi called out.Lin Tian gave a cold snort, “I don’t remember I have an elder like you. Don’t flatter yourself.”Hearing Lin Tian’s words, all the examinees burst into an uproar. Lin Tian was actually contradicting the

They felt as if they went back to their youth.“I miss my youth so much.”Mu Qing sighed.Once upon a time, he was also young and righteous like Lin Tian. Unfortunately, he could never go back in time.Lin Tian stood still where he was silently. Now that the two elders were being sentimental, he didn’t know what to say.Noticing Lin Tian’s facial expression, Shi Dong laughed. “We’ve just made a fool of ourselves.”The third test had not finished yet, but there was no need for Mu Qing and Shi Dong to stay here an

Thank you for your concern, Elder Mu.”Mu Qing shook his head with a smile, telling Lin Tian that he didn’t need to stand on ceremony.“Why did you ask me to be here, Elder Mu and Elder Shi?”Lin Tian asked.Shi Dong and Mu Qing exchanged glances and smiled, saying, “Actually, there’s nothing special. We want to give you two things.”Mu Qing took out a black pouch and passed it to Lin Tian.“One thing inside is the identification jade pendant, a proof to show that you’re the disciple of the martial institution, in which your per
