Ten breaths later, no one had withdrawn.
Cultivation was, after all, a defiance of the heavens and a struggle for one's life, and since there were no real Demon Beasts in the test, none of the disciples chose to quit.
"Very well, remember the choice you have made!" Elder Gu smiled contentedly.
The large ship landed in an open area, a human stronghold, void of Demon Beasts. The disciples disembarked, waiting for the test.
Accompanied by another two large ships that had also stopped, the disciples onboard quickly jumped off and headed towards the interior of the stronghold, completely ignoring Lin Xuan and the others.
"They are true warriors; if you manage to enter the Inner Sect, you might one day be one of them," Elder Gu said.
"Now, split yourselves into four large groups, each group heading to a small battlefield. You will live there for three days, so enjoy the life that awaits!" Elder Gu remarked with a chuckle.
