Chapter 249
After passing the "Qiwu", the mountain is steep, the snow is ankle-deep, and there are occasional beast roars in the distance.

The pursuers of the wild black market were never seen again, not to mention human figures, even grass blades were rarely seen, and occasionally a few clumps could be seen under the cliffs and rocks that were not covered with snow.

According to Bai Yun, Lord Shu is one of the five major forces in the black market in the wilderness. Now that he is seriously injured, the other forces will definitely take the opportunity to encroach on him and there will be no spare power to pursue him.

Ren Zhen calmed down and rushed to the next recording station, Bading. He was slightly worried about what Bai Yun would do after he left.

Bai Yun is still heartless, constantly complaining that there is no other food on the snow-capped mountains, and often trembling with fright at the howling.

Since there was no other source of food, the two of them had to eat less, and only had one single supply from the Record Station to eat.Fortunately, the deeper you go, the more luxurious the supplies at the Record Station become, and the monks in the Nascent Soul Stage don't need much food.

In the vastness, a precipitous mountain can be seen faintly in the distance, the peak is shining with stars, Bai Yun introduced to Ren Zhen, that is the final destination - Xingxue Mountain.

The green light of the bracelet is getting brighter and brighter. We are still one day away from the record station. The towering Xingxue Mountain is particularly conspicuous on the horizon. At first, it can only be seen on rare sunny days. Now, even if it is a violent storm, the top of the mountain in the distance is still visible. The stars are also faintly visible.

"Why is it called Xingxue Mountain?" Ren Zhen asked curiously, squinting his eyes slightly and wrapping himself tightly in the blanket.

Bai Yun pulled the blanket towards her, and replied solemnly: "There is a Xingxue Lake on the top of Xingxue Mountain. It is said that there are as many stars in the sky as there are stars in the lake."

"Oh?" Ren Zhen raised his eyebrows and said regretfully, "It's a pity that the last recording station is at the foot of the mountain, and I want to go up to see it. How about I accompany you up the mountain to have a look?"

Bai Yun seemed to be a little panicked, and waved her hands and said, "We'll talk about it later, maybe you won't be able to pass the checkpoint at the recording station tomorrow, so I can only leave you behind and go up the mountain alone!"

Ren Zhen rested his arms on his pillow, and didn't notice Bai Yun's abnormal expression. "It's not that difficult. Didn't I finish the seventh section easily? Even if 'Eight Ding' is a battle level, now that my spiritual power has been restored, I can't deal with the Nascent Soul enemies."

Bai Yun stuck out her tongue and said, "I'll keep watch tonight, you should rest early and prepare to pass the recording station tomorrow."

Ren Zhen was surprised by Bai Yun's sudden concern, thought for a moment, then turned over and fell asleep generously. "Thanks."

The snow drifted all night, and the howling wind hit the rock wall, making a whining sound. Ren Zhen hadn't slept so deeply for a long time.

The next morning, as the dim light passed through the blizzard, Ren Zhen woke up in a daze, with the whole blanket wrapped around him, and there was no familiar figure beside him.

Bai Yun disappeared.

Ren Zhen braved the blizzard and advanced on the top of the mountain, his skin was burning with purple awns, and the sharp snowflakes melted into white mist before they approached.

He couldn't figure out why Bai Yun had to leave without saying goodbye, he was faintly afraid that a demon beast of refining level would snatch her away last night, but she was the only one left with the smell on the snow.

Although the blizzard buried most of the smell, making it difficult to determine the exact direction, Ren Zhen knew very well where Bai Yun was going back. The towering Xingxue Mountain was like a lighthouse, and she would not get lost no matter how crazy she was.

Following the general direction, Ren Zhen stepped on the recording station buried by white snow. After thinking about it, he still used the Purple Phoenix Fire to melt the snow. In any case, he needed the supplies in the recording station.Bai Yun didn't take any food with her.

A thick stone door engraved with "Ba Ding" appeared behind the snowmelt steam. There was a circular groove on the smooth stone door. Ren Zhen embedded his bracelet, and the stone door opened slowly, emitting a stream of warm air.

The surroundings were suddenly pitch black, the bright green time floated in the air, and a pure white figure appeared out of thin air.

Ren Zhen turned his shoulders. This time the level was indeed a battle. He sensed the spiritual power emitted by his opponent, and it turned out that he was in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

He frowned, and the numbers in the air began to change. It was almost impossible to deal with an opponent in the middle stage of Nascent Soul within 2 minutes.

The pure white figure moved and rushed over with a long sword.

Ren Zhen lowered his body, and his spiritual power surged into the 'Morning Star' in his hand. The gorgeous purple light bloomed, and he rushed out close to the ground.

When the two were about to meet, Ren Zhen swung the 'Morning Star' obliquely upwards, and the pure white long sword met him, the piercing sound of gold and iron resounded, and purple thunder and fire overflowed.

"one."

Ren Zhen read out the numbers in a deep voice, and swung the 'Morning Star' away with his strength, turning the swing into a smash, the hammer body slammed into the horizontal long sword, and a circle of purple spiritual power ripples illuminated the pitch-black space.

"two."

Although Ren Zhen was on the offensive, the white sword was twisting and turning, stabbing at a position that made him uncomfortable every time. The hammer power could not be accumulated, and the jade sword could only barely deliver eighteen fatal blows.

"..."

"eleven!"

Another hammer was blocked, Ren Zhen turned sideways from the counterattacking sword, waved the 'Morning Star' in his hand, and the purple awns drew a trail.

"twelve!"

The pure white figure held the white sword horizontally, and a strong impact spread throughout Ren Zhen's body. The bent white sword suddenly bounced, pushing Ren Zhen a few feet away.

Ren Zhen inserted the handle of the hammer on the invisible floor, rubbed his right foot, and managed not to fall, but the continuous force of the hammer had been interrupted, and the jade sword's life-threatening series of eighteen blows came to an abrupt end.

"1:05"

The green light in the sky changes, time flies, and only half of it remains.

The pure white figure didn't give Ren Zhen any time to adjust. He shrunk to an inch and came in front of him in one breath. Stern sword light poured out from all directions and sprinkled like water.

Ren Zhen lost his offensive and could only defend with all his strength. He swung the 'Morning Star' in a circle, and the crimson thunder fire drew a smooth curtain of light. Accompanied by a burst of Qingyue clanging, the sword light was all blocked.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the battle was at a stalemate. Ren Zhen didn't want to use desperate moves, so he could only watch the test time go to zero.

The pure white figure stabbing out the long sword suddenly stopped, and then disappeared together with the surrounding dark space, the whimpering sound of wind and snow reappeared, and Ren Zhen returned to the white snow mountain.

He gave a wry smile, Bai Yun was really right, she actually failed the test of the recording station.

The lacquered red stone slab shook suddenly, and opened slowly unexpectedly, revealing the emerald green beam of light in the center of the room.

Ren Zhen looked surprised. He clearly failed to defeat his opponent within the limited time. How could the Record Station still be opened?

He hesitated for a moment and suddenly realized that the condition for passing this test was not to defeat the opponent, but not to be defeated by the opponent.Thinking about it carefully, the whole exam is like this, and candidates are not required to defeat wild wild beasts, as long as they can reach the record station, it doesn't matter if they run away when they see people like Bai Yun.

The purpose of the exam is to test the students' viability.

Ren Zhen tasted the content of the exam, put the bracelet into the central light pillar, and the supply package slowly lowered.

"Candidate: Ren Zhen. It took 43 days and [-] hours to arrive at the No. [-] recording post in the eighth section."

Ren Zhen shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, he wasted too much time being chased and killed by Lord Shu.

"Su Mu and the others should have reached Xingxue Mountain by now..." Ren Zhen murmured, picked up his backpack, and continued to chase Bai Yun.
