At this point, they could go ashore and end the test, but this group of people still refused to go ashore.


    They were secretlypeting to see who couldst until the end.


    At this time, the participants not only represented themselves, but also various factions. This was because they knew very well that the person who couldst until thest moment in the zing me Mountain was the person with the strongest cultivation level in the Central Continent.


    Whoever couldst until the end would bring glory to the forces behind them.


    …


    Sheng Xiao closed his eyes in the magma pool.


    At this moment, he was naked. Every inch of his skin was enduring the high temperature of the magma.


    The surface of his skin was already necrotic and showed a strange red color.


    Sheng Xiao trembled when he felt the pain of his bones being roasted by the high temperature.


    He couldn''t help but recall those memories that belonged to Yu Aofeng.


    In the ancient era, in order to save Jing Huang, Yu Aofeng was willing to be used by Prime Emperor Zhe An as an alchemy bone and thrown into a magma pool to be refined into a Divine Transforming Pill. There, he suffered the most inhumane torture in history. His dragon scales, dragon body, and dragon bones were refined bit by bit…


    He would never forget that pain.


    After four consecutive days of torture, Sheng Xiao''s willpower had reached its limit. He could clearly feel the intense pain in his limbs and bones. However, under the intense pain, Sheng Xiao made a surprise discovery.


    Back then, Sheng Xiao''s bones were damaged to varying degrees because he had forcefully broken through to the Grand Master realm. It was precisely because of his damaged bones that although Sheng Xiao''sbat ability had increased all these years, his cultivation had not increased.


    He knew that if he couldn''t find a way to sessfully repair his bones, his cultivation level might stay at the early-stage Grand Master realm forever.


    These days, the high temperature in the magma kept attacking Sheng Xiao''s bones and tempering and calcining them… Although the process was painful, Sheng Xiao realized that the cracks on his bones were showing signs of recovery!


    Sheng Xiao was overjoyed.


    Could this magma temper one''s muscles and bones and repair one''s damaged bones?


    But Sheng Xiao had never heard of magma being able to repair damaged bones. If he had known, he would have tried it long ago.


    Could it be that there was some special energy hidden in this magma pool?


    ? What was it?


    Although he didn''t know why the magma pool could repair bones, as long as it could repair bones, in order to repair his damaged bones, Sheng Xiao would stay, even if his skin would be burned by the magma!


    If he stayed at the bottom of the magma pool for a few more days, he would be able topletely repair his damaged bones. It didn''t matter even if he missed this screening test because of this. There was still a next screening test, but the recovery of his bone structure was an urgent matter.


    At the thought of that, Sheng Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and dived towards the deepest part of the magma pool.

    Madam Brulee was sitting in the surveince room with the other staff members and observing the situation in the second examination hall.


    The surveince camera was aimed at the square at the exit of the examination hall. The eliminated participants had already been sent away. Those who stayed in the square were all participants who had gone ashore and entered the top 3,000.


    There was only one day left until the end of the second test.


    Almost all the participants had finished the test.


    Madam Brulee suddenly asked, "How many people are there in the zing me Mountain?"


    Prime Master Chengwen was looking at the statistics table, so he replied without looking up, "There are still 183 people."


    Hearing this, Madam Brulee nodded and said, "I remember that on this day during thestpetition, there were only 108 people left in the zing me Mountain. It seems that this time''s participants are stronger thanst time''s."


    "That''s right." An old man marveled, "When thest Selection Competition was held, the young disciples of the East God Pce happened to be in seclusion, and there were fewer disciples participating in the Selection Competition. This year, almost all the disciples of the East God Pce who meet the requirements havee to participate in thepetition."


    "Prime Master Chengwen, how many disciples of the East God Pce are there among the 183 people?"


    Prime Master Chengwen said, "53 people."


    "This ratio is very impressive. As expected of the East God Pce."


    "What about the Vermillion Bird n and the Lamia n?"


    "There are ten disciples of the Vermillion Bird n and eight disciples of the Lamia n…" Prime Master Chengwen told them everything he knew. In the end, he added," The other two are disciples of the Monster Sect. "


    "Monster Sect…" Upon hearing this unfamiliar sect name, the staff member was somewhat surprised." Is this a newly established sect? Why have I never heard of it?" The old man was very puzzled.


    Madam Brulee smiled as she said, "It''s a sect created by Sheng Xiao and his friends. If I remember correctly, Sheng Xiao is the sect master."


    Mirth shed across Prime Master Chengwen''s eyes as he said, "Yes, President, you remembered correctly."


    The experts beside him all revealed surprised expressions.


    "Those children actually created their own sect. This…" The old man who spoke earlier suddenly shook his head and said, "They''re too young and impetuous. Creating their own sect will give them more freedom, but don''t they know how big the Central Continent is? There are hundreds of sects of all sizes. How many resources can the seven of them obtain from creating their own small sect? Joining arge sect is the rational thing to do. "


    Hearing this, Madam Brulee didn''tment.


    Prime Master Chengwen smiled and said, "To be honest, our Patriarch invited those children to join the Vermillion Bird n a few days ago, but unexpectedly, they actually created the Monster Sect and rejected all the offers of various factions. With such boldness, I think the future of the Monster Sect is worth looking forward to."


    Hearing this, the old man said in a sarcastic tone, "Prime Emperor Linfeng is quite fast."


    How could Prime Master Chengwen not discern the sarcasm in the old man''s words?


    He tilted his head and looked at the old man as he said with a calm and elegant smile, "Prodigies are rare, so it''s normal for my Patriarch to want to recruit them."


    "It''s normal." The old man stroked the beard on his chin as he said, "But the prodigies clearly don''t think much of him."


    Madam Brulee extended her right hand and said unhappily, "Be quiet."


    The two of them immediately shut up.


    Madam Brulee looked up at Prime Master Chengwen and asked, "Other than Sheng Xiao, who else from the Monster Sect hasn''te out yet?"


    Prime Master Chengwen closed the data table and said with a chuckle, "Who else could it be? It''s naturally Yu Huang, who has awakened the Divine Feather Phoenix.


    "So it''s her." Madam Brulee leaned back in her chair and marveled, "As someone who awakened of the Divine Feather Phoenix, she''s naturally unafraid of mes."


    At this moment, the old man spoke again, "To Yu Huang, this second round is simply too easy. Why would the Divine Feather Phoenix be afraid of the ragingva? This is unfair to the other participants."
