Wuhun: Desert Death on the left hand, the world on the right hand

Bai Yun took the list and flipped through a few pages at random, his sharp eyes sweeping over the names like a sword. Every time he read a name, the air in the square seemed to stagnate a little, and the faces of the unsuccessful candidates became paler.

"In this three levels of character test, some people stood out, while others left in dismay." Bai Yun's voice did not convey any emotion, but it carried an invisible pressure that made everyone breathless. "Talent is important, but a firm, brave, and benevolent heart is the foundation of an excellent soul master."

He paused for a moment, and his eyes slowly swept through the crowd, finally landing on Lin Feng, Zhang Hu, and Li Hao. A hint of praise appeared on the corner of his mouth: "And these three people have proved to us that they have the mentality to become strong!"

"Lin Feng! Zhang Hu! Li Hao!"

Every time Bai Yun read a name, the square erupted in louder cheers. These three people, one is as steady as a mountain, one is as brave as a tiger, and one is as agile as water. Their performance in the test was witnessed by everyone.

"As for the others..." Bai Yun's voice sounded again, and the square fell silent. "Those who passed two levels have perseverance but lack kindness. Those who passed one level have justice but are not firm enough. As for those who failed any test..."

At this point, he shook his head, with a hint of regret in his tone: "The road to becoming a soul master is not an easy one. I hope you can find your own path."

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the square suddenly became complicated. Some people were jubilant, some were sad, and some clenched their fists with unwillingness in their eyes.

In the square in front of Baiyun Temple, the atmosphere gradually calmed down from the complex emotions just now, but a more tense atmosphere began to spread.

Bai Yun's eyes swept over the unsuccessful young men, with a hint of encouragement and expectation: "Those who fail the test, don't be discouraged. Our Bai Yun Palace has always recruited talents regardless of their background. Next, there is another test called the 'Test of Will'. This level does not consider talent or character, but only whether your will is firm!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall, god-like figure slowly landed in the center of the square. He was wearing ancient golden armor, holding a huge battle axe in his hand, and exuding a suffocating pressure. His deep eyes seemed to contain endless wind and sand, making people dare not look directly at him.

"This is……"

There was a sudden cry of surprise in the square, and many people even took a few steps back unconsciously.

"Nasus, Deputy Hall Master of Baiyun Hall," Baiyun introduced Nasus' identity. "This test of will will be presided over by Deputy Hall Master Nasus."

Nasus nodded slightly, his eyes swept over everyone in the square, and his majestic voice echoed over the square like rolling thunder: "Do you know what 'will' is?"

No one dared to answer. Everyone was so shocked by Nasus' powerful aura that they didn't even dare to breathe.

“Willpower is the indomitable spirit in the face of a strong enemy, the tenacity in the face of adversity, and the persistence in the pursuit of goals!” Nasus’ voice was like a storm in the desert, sweeping across the entire square. “And today, I want to test you, that is, your willpower in the face of absolute power!”

As he finished speaking, a terrifying pressure erupted from Nasus, sweeping across the square like a raging wave. The shadow of the Desert Death God's martial spirit emerged behind him, its huge body blocking out the sky, its scarlet eyes looking down at everyone, like a ferocious beast from ancient times, ready to devour everything.

"what……"

There was a sudden scream in the square, and everyone was trembling under this horrible pressure. Many people even collapsed to the ground, their faces as pale as paper, and cold sweat kept falling like raindrops.

Nasus’ voice sounded again, but it was as cold and ruthless as if it came from the abyss of the underworld: “If you can hold out for thirty breaths under this pressure, you will pass the test! If anyone can hold out for sixty breaths, the top three who can hold out can directly enter the White Cloud Palace to practice! Even if you fail all three levels of character, you can still be admitted as an exception!”

Under this devastating pressure, time seemed to be stretched infinitely, and every second became extremely long. The young men in the square fell one by one, like harvested ears of wheat, and in the blink of an eye, only a few dozen people were left struggling to hold on.

Lin Feng gritted his teeth, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. His legs were shaking, and his body seemed to be crushed, but he still straightened his spine and looked forward firmly. He had only one thought in his mind: never give up!

Zhang Hu's situation was not optimistic either. He was taller and stronger than the others, and he was under greater pressure.

His face flushed red, veins bulged, as if he would explode at any moment. But he still moved forward step by step like a stubborn bull, and he would never give up even if his speed was as slow as a turtle.

Li Hao's body was shaking violently, his face was as pale as paper, and his lips had lost their color. But he still gritted his teeth and persisted. The expectant eyes of his family members appeared in his mind, which filled his heart with strength. He knew that he must not fall down.

As time went by, fewer and fewer people appeared in the square. In the end, only Lin Feng, Zhang Hu, and Li Hao were left struggling. Nasus's eyes fell on the three of them, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

Among these three people, one is a gifted genius, one is a strong-willed warrior, and one is a young man with dreams. They all have the potential to become strong.

“Very good.” Nasus’ voice sounded again. This time it was no longer cold, but instead contained a hint of approval. “You three have passed my test.”

Nasus waved his hand, and the terrifying pressure over the square disappeared instantly. The young men who survived the square felt relieved, and they all collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, having survived the catastrophe.

Lin Feng, Zhang Hu and Li Hao also felt the pressure suddenly reduced at the same time, but they did not collapse to the ground like the others. Instead, they endured the fatigue and slowly stood up.

The three of them looked at each other, and they could see a hint of fatigue in each other's eyes, but more of excitement and joy. They succeeded, they passed the test of Deputy Hall Master Nasus!

Bai Yun nodded in satisfaction, glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "This assessment ends here!"

The square was filled with cheers. Not only the new disciples who passed the test, but also the unsuccessful ones showed relief on their faces. After all, this test was quite stressful.

"Yun Fei!" Bai Yun turned his head to look at a young man in snow-white clothes beside him and gave the order in a deep voice.

"Disciple is here!" Yun Fei responded respectfully.

"Take these ordinary people who failed the assessment back to Douluo Continent and make sure they are safe," Nasus ordered.

"Yes, Palace Master!" Yun Fei accepted the order, turned to face the unsuccessful young men, and said gently: "Everyone, please follow me."

After that, Yun Fei organized these people to walk towards the space teleportation array of Baiyun Realm. Although the unsuccessful teenagers felt a little disappointed, they also knew that they were not as skilled as others, so they could only sigh helplessly and follow Yun Fei to leave Baiyun City.

"Zhao Zhiqiang!" Bai Yun called out the name again.

An old man stroked his gray beard and came out, bowing and saying, "Disciple is here!"

"Take the new disciples to the dormitory and arrange registration and other matters." Bai Yun instructed.

"Yes, Palace Master!" Qing Yun accepted the order and turned to face the new disciples who had passed the assessment. A kind smile appeared on his face: "Dear fellow disciples, please follow me."

After that, Zhao Zhiqiang also began to lead the new disciples in another direction. The new disciples followed Zhao Zhiqiang closely with excitement, heading towards their future holy land of cultivation.

Bai Yun watched the new disciples leave, smiled with satisfaction, turned around, glanced at the remaining old disciples of Bai Yun Temple in the square, and said in a deep voice: "For this assessment, each of you will select ten people from the new disciples. After returning, you must carefully teach the soul contract master's cultivation method, and you must not slack off!"

"Yes, Palace Master!" All the disciples responded in unison, unable to conceal their excitement and anticipation in their voices.

“In addition,” Bai Yun paused, and then continued, “From today onwards, not only will Bai Yun Hall’s enrollment follow the rules of the Nine-Layered Illusionary Tower, but old disciples who want to be promoted to disciple level must also pass the corresponding number of levels.

To be promoted from outer sect disciples to inner sect disciples, they must pass through the first three levels; to be promoted from inner sect disciples to personal disciples, they must pass through the first six levels; to be promoted to deacons, they must pass through the seventh level; to be promoted to elders, they must pass through the eighth level; to be promoted to supreme elders or hall masters, they must pass through the ninth level! "

As soon as he finished speaking, a buzz of discussion suddenly sounded in the square.

Bai Yun pondered for a moment and added, "When you are promoted to a direct disciple, in addition to passing the corresponding number of levels of the Nine-Layered Illusionary Tower, you must also accumulate a certain amount of contribution points or complete sect tasks.

As for promotion to deacon, elder, or supreme elder, not only must one pass the corresponding number of levels of the Nine-Layered Illusionary Tower and complete the corresponding contribution points, but one must also undergo actual combat assessments. "

The discussion in the square became louder. Some old disciples looked embarrassed, obviously feeling that the new conditions were difficult to deal with. But some disciples had excitement in their eyes and were eager to try.

Bai Yun took in all the disciples' reactions and said slowly, "I know these new conditions may come as a surprise to you, but this is to motivate you to keep improving and enhance your own strength. Only the strong can protect the sect and everything we cherish!"

His voice was firm and powerful, echoing over the square.
