Chapter 1699: Rating Assessment

So far, most things are going according to plan.The only difference is that the plan will pursue Ares and his men.But now, the one pursuing them has become Fang Yu.The number of opponents was less tha...Fang Yu and the others waited for a while in the first-floor hall, and the gray-robed elder walked back from behind the curtain on the first floor.

"The elder has agreed to let you undergo a special appraisal." The old man walked in front of Fang Yu and said.

The elder glanced at Mu Qingran and Wu Chou behind Fang Yu, then asked again, "Are you sure you want to participate in the assessment by yourself"

"Of course, who else would" Fang Yu frowned and retorted.

The elder glanced at Fang Yu and nodded slowly, saying: "Then follow me. As for the other two, please wait here."

"Good." Wúchóu replied.

The old man turned and walked back towards the curtain.

Fan Yu followed behind the elder.

And the cultivators queuing in the hall now focused their gazes on Fang Yu.

Does Wandoge really agree to let this kid participate in the sect's special assessment

Judging by this kid's aura, this is a complete waste of time, isn't it!

Compared to normal rankings, special rankings can indeed bypass many conditions, but the difficulty is rumored to be quite high. Even those who are the sect masters of large sects may not necessarily pass it.

"He's really overreaching himself," a cultivator shook his head.

"Look at the Yuhua Sect now, reduced to this state. It's truly pitiful," another cultivator sighed with lament.

"I heard before that there was only one master-disciple pair left in the Yuhua Sect, could this kid be one of them" Another cultivator questioned with doubt.

Amongst the buzz of conversation, Wu Chou and Mu Qingran exchanged a glance before walking aside to sit down.

"Elder Wu Chou, do you think... he can pass the special assessment" Mu Qingran asked softly.

"I think so," Wu Chou replied.

Fang Yu's displayed strength had already convinced him.

Therefore, although the special rating was extremely difficult, he still inexplicably believed that Fang Yu could pass the assessment.

"I also believe he can do it," Mu Qingran said with a gentle smile.

At this moment, all the cultivators present noticed Mu Qingran at the back, a flash of astonishment in their eyes.

Their attention had been solely focused on Fang Yu before, and they hadn't truly noticed this Yaochi Saintess who possessed such breathtaking beauty.

Once noticed, the gaze can no longer be diverted.

Mu Qingran felt these gazes, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she lowered her head slightly.

……

Fang Yu followed the old man's steps, arriving behind a curtain. There were stairs leading upwards beyond it.

Upstairs, on the second floor, there are four rooms in each corner besides the central hall.

At this time, all four room doors were open, but there was no one inside.

The elder brought Fang Yu to the room upstairs on the left.

The room was a locked chamber, with gray walls on all sides, utterly bare.

In the center of the room, there hung a ball about the size of a fist, resembling a jewel yet like a droplet of blue liquid condensed.

"Standing here."

The old man gestured for Fang Yu to walk up to the floating orb.

Fāng Yǔ did as he was told.

"In a while, you will be taken to the assessment point," the old man said. "You just need to stand here and wait."

After that, the old man turned and walked out of the secret room.

"No other hints" Fang Yu asked.

"All the instructions you need will be within the assessment area. Just follow them." The elder replied without turning around.

He walked out of the room and closed the door.

Now, only Fang Yu was left in the room, facing the gray walls on all sides.

The orb hovering before him emanated a faint spatial energy.

It is obvious that the so-called assessment points are simply independent spaces.

Special-graded assessments should be conducted within a separate space.

Fang Yu stood still, waiting silently.

After about two minutes, the orb in front of him suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.

As the radiance flared, a powerful suction force erupted.

"Whoosh!"

Fang Yu's body just followed the suction and entered the spatial channel.

"Whoosh!"

The spatial channel was extremely short, passing through in the blink of an eye.

The scene before my eyes underwent a dramatic change.

Fang Yu landed on both feet, looking around.

At this moment, he is in the center of a vast ocean.

At his feet lay a rickety little boat, without oars, simply floating upon the placid ocean.

There were no objects around, only the azure sky and the sea of the same color.

"Is this the assessment point What are we being assessed on"

Fang Yu's brows furrowed, staring ahead.

The gray-robed elder said that after entering the assessment point, there would be guidance on everything.

Fang Yu thought for a moment and looked around again.

Soon, he discovered that the wooden boat beneath his feet was inscribed with a message.

"Find the exit and leave this place."

Is this a guide

Fang Yu frowned and looked ahead.

All around was nothing but ocean, no other sights to be seen.

Fang Yu released his true energy, attempting to push the small wooden boat forward with his feet.

However, the canoe was indeed moving forward, but due to the stillness of the entire sea and the absence of any reference points around... even if the canoe traveled at a fast speed, it felt as if it were standing still.

Fang Yu was very clear that since it was an assessment, it couldn't be too simple.

Directly urging the canoe forward doesn't hold much meaning.

The location of the exit is absolutely not somewhere that can be easily found.

Fang Yu stood on the small boat, thought for a moment, and a smile curved his lips.

Meanwhile, a faint golden glow appeared in his pupils.

The golden cross sword appeared in his pupils.

At this moment, the horizon suddenly opened up.

The colors of the sea and sky before my eyes still remain.

But the Eye of Heaven's vision instantly focused on a special location.

Just a few steps in front of Fang Yu, within reach.

This spot is a hidden portal.

This... should be what they call the exit.

Fang Yu looked around, squinting slightly.

At this time, the size of the entire space he was in was still the same as the original secret room.

And the so-called exit was that light sphere from before.

Fang Yu blinked, the golden cross sword in his pupils rotating slowly.

"Boom..."

The scene before my eyes shattered in an instant, collapsing into utter darkness.

Only that orb of light, still radiating ahead.

Fang Yu took a step forward, extending his right hand, reaching for the glowing orb.

"Whoosh!"

The moment his palm touched the orb, another powerful suction force surged.

Fang Yu once again entered the spatial channel.

At this moment, the third floor of Wandoge.

The gray-robed elder stood before the curtain, his face filled with surprise as he said, “To have passed the first trial so effortlessly…”

Behind the curtain, there was no sound.

The gray-robed elder's eyes flickered, then he closed them again, continuing to observe Fang Yu's performance in the second assessment.

……

Fang Yu came to the second scene.

At this time, he was within a dark cave.

A greatsword, blade pointed upwards, lay before him.

Above the tip of the sword, there was a thick wall of rock.

The sword's scabbard was inserted into a stone pedestal.

The height of the stone platform is about one meter.

Above the stone tablet, there is a recessed handprint.

Fang Yu walked to the stone platform and could see the guidance inscribed on it.slightly cold, his fingertips lightly touching forward."Whoosh!"A ray of light burst from his fingertips, instantly expanding and condensing in mid-air into the shape of a translucent giant.It did not...
