Chapter 170: Making Things Difficult for Su Chen in Secret

The surrounding discussions drifted into Su Chen's ears, but he paid them no mind, continuing to follow behind Bai Zhi as they walked into the Heavenly Dao Sect.

On the way, Bai Zhi told him much information regarding the Heavenly Dao Sect.

A moment later, the group arrived at a giant plaza.

The plaza covered several thousand acres, with a hundred-foot-tall grand hall standing in the center.

"This is the assessment venue; follow me inside."

Bai Zhi said, pointing at the plaza.

Su Chen and the others exchanged glances, nodded, and then followed behind Bai Zhi as they walked toward the interior of the grand hall.

Very quickly, they walked into the interior of the grand hall, where many men and women were gathered together, some wearing the same attire.

Clearly, they were the Heavenly Dao Sect disciples responsible for the assessment.

"Junior Sister Bai Zhi, today is the day of the sect's recruitment assessment, why have you only just arrived?"

"Hehe, we thought Junior Sister Bai Zhi wouldn't come."

This group of people stared at Bai Zhi with fiery gazes, teasing her with cheeky smiles.

"Saintess, why have you brought several outsiders here?"

Just then, a middle-aged man with a spirited and imposing appearance stood out.

He wore a luxurious brocade robe, had a handsome face, narrow and sharp eyes, and exuded a powerful aura.

This was a Quasi-Emperor Realm powerhouse.

His name was Wu Taining, and he held the position of Guardian Elder within the Heavenly Dao Sect; today, he was specifically responsible for supervising the recruitment assembly assessment.

Although Wu Taining's tone was calm, he was actually already somewhat displeased.

"Greetings, Elder Wu."

Seeing this, Bai Zhi said respectfully, "These few were brought by me to participate in this sect recruitment assembly assessment; they all wish to join my Heavenly Dao Sect."

"Oh, so they are here to participate in the assessment; then hurry inside, don't waste time." Wu Taining glanced at Su Chen and said sternly.

He didn't take what Bai Zhi had just said to heart at all, and he couldn't be bothered to look at Su Chen and the others.

"Tsk tsk, that Elder Wu is so arrogant!"

Xiaoxian said with dissatisfaction, stroking her whiskers and glaring.

"Eh, you Spirit Beast, you can actually speak!"

Hearing Xiaoxian speak in human language, Bai Zhi was startled, and as she carefully examined her, she said, "This little snake is actually quite cute."

"You're the little snake!"

Hearing this, Xiaoxian rolled her eyes and pouted, saying, "What do you know? This lady is a Golden Dragon!"

Hearing the two words "Golden Dragon," Bai Zhi's heart shook, and the look in her eyes as she looked at Xiaoxian again changed.

A Golden Dragon!

That was a legendary True Dragon; it was said to possess incredibly astonishing bloodline power, and if it continued to grow, it could even take human form.

Such a Divine Beast could not be found in many places across the entire Tianxuan Continent.

She finally understood why Su Chen and the others had traveled ten thousand miles to join the Heavenly Dao Sect.

It was because they had a Golden Dragon Divine Beast by their side.

Following this, Su Chen and the three women followed behind Bai Zhi to the location of the first assessment item.

They saw a stone man there, three meters tall, with muscles bulging like iron blocks all over its body.

This stone man radiated a terrifying pressure; even just standing there, it made the surrounding space stagnate, as if a mountain range were lying across it.

This stone man was a Battle Puppet smelted by the Heavenly Dao Sect using extraterrestrial meteorites.

Its body surface was covered in various inscriptions, radiating astonishing fluctuations.

Boom!

Subsequently, the stone man swung its fist at the ground, causing a series of explosive sounds.

Crack!

Instantly, the hard ground cracked with dense, spiderweb-like fissures that spread into the distance.

Seeing this scene, Su Chen and the others all secretly gasped; this attack power alone was enough to easily kill a Cultivator of the Bridge of God Realm in seconds.

It seemed that if one wanted to enter the Heavenly Dao Sect, one really couldn't do it without some real ability.

Standing next to the stone man was a male Inner Sect Disciple wearing a Heavenly Dao Sect robe; he looked at Su Chen and the others and said indifferently, "Among you few, who is going first?"

His attitude was extremely arrogant, not taking Su Chen and the others seriously at all, as if he had already determined that Su Chen and the others would undoubtedly fail.

"I'll go first!"

Su Mei'er stepped forward, her pretty face filled with stubbornness.

Whoosh.

The stone man kicked off with both legs, instantly flying toward Su Mei'er, its massive fist carrying a violent gale as it smashed fiercely toward Su Mei'er's head.

Seeing this, the corners of Su Mei'er's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a look of disdain, and she clenched her right hand into a fist, choosing to clash head-on with the stone man's fist!

She was at the Great Saint Realm Peak, only half a step away from the Quasi-Emperor Realm; mere stone naturally could not withstand the power of her punch.

Boom~

The next moment, their fists collided, and a sound like a great bell ringing echoed through the void.

Everyone looked closely and saw Su Mei'er standing where she was, not moving a single bit, while the stone man Puppet had been blasted away.

"Hiss~"

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

"Wow, this Junior Sister is so amazing!"

Bai Zhi's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she clapped her hands excitedly.

Su Chen also nodded slightly; it seems that after Dual Cultivation with him for so long, Su Mei'er has already reached the Half-step Quasi-Emperor Realm.

I believe she will soon be able to break through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

"Hmph, this is merely the lowest-grade stone man, what is there to be smug about!"

On the other side, that Inner Sect Disciple responsible for the assessment muttered in dissatisfaction.

"What did you say?"

Hearing this, Su Mei'er's willow eyebrows stood on end as she turned her head to look at that person.

Feeling the cold, piercing gaze from the other party, that person could not help but swallow their saliva, not daring to continue spouting nonsense.

"Alright, since you have passed the first round of the assessment, come with me!"

At this moment, Wu Taining's cold voice came from behind the group, and he took Su Mei'er away.

Before leaving, he also took a deep look at Su Chen, hiding some kind of emotion.

"My turn!"

Seeing that Su Mei'er had left, Lv Luo was the second to step forward.

She let out a delicate shout and likewise charged toward that stone man.

Boom!

The next moment, another heavy explosive sound rang out, and Lv Luo stood steadily in the arena.

She raised her slender arm, her five fingers suddenly splayed, and she clawed fiercely toward the front.

With a bang.

One could see that the stone man was actually smashed to pieces by her single claw.

Hiss!

"This... how is this possible!"

Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Could it be that your constitution is comparable to a stone man?"

Someone asked in confusion.

Lv Luo said indifferently: "My constitution is a special constitution; it is not stone, but it is better than stone!"

Hearing this, everyone gasped, and they all looked toward Lv Luo.

How is it that the women by Su Chen's side are each more fierce than the last?

Next was Luo Shen, and she also quickly passed the assessment smoothly.

Now, by Bai Zhi's side, only Su Chen remained.

Just at this time, Huang Yang walked over, pointed at Su Chen, whispered a few words to the Inner Sect Disciple responsible for the assessment, and then stood to the side, sinisterly preparing to watch Su Chen make a fool of himself.

That Inner Sect Disciple responsible for the assessment glanced at Su Chen, then walked in front of the Stone Man Puppet and stuffed twenty Superior Spirit Stones into its mouth.

The Stone Man Puppet's eyes suddenly brightened significantly, and the aura on its body instantly became stronger.

"Liu Yuan, what are you doing?"

Seeing the actions of that Inner Sect Disciple, Bai Zhi immediately rebuked him.
