Lin Ming would not be crushed by this oppressive aura, but he also knew that he could no longer win.

  Not to mention those two secondary fierce beasts, just these eight little brothers are not something he can handle on his own, even if hes in top physical condition! Let alone now that he has already consumed a lot of true yuan.

  He finally understood that although he had also reached the fifth level and seemed close to Qin Xuan, who was only a sixth-grade talent, he was still far behind. The Qin Xuan from half a year ago had actually passed this level with great difficulty. Thinking of this, Lin Ming looked at the ten ferocious beasts again, feeling a sense of awe in his heart.

  Living up to her reputation as a sixth-grade talent, the heavens proud daughter.

  If he had thought of this, conservatively speaking, at the very least, his cultivation would have to be raised by one realm, reaching the peak of Triple Heaven Refining Body, in order to have even a sliver of chance of winning, and it would still require a fierce battle.

  But Qin Xingxuan had already passed this level half a year ago.

  No wonder the middle-aged examiner said confidently that it was impossible for anyone to pass this level.

  Its indeed impossible to get through, since its like this, then just kill as many as possible.

  Lin Ming would not give up easily, this kind of real combat opportunity was hard to come by, the true feeling of being on the brink of death, exhausting his physical limits in battle, and the sensation of fighting at the boundary between life and death were all precious experiences that he could not afford to miss.

  "Fight!" Seeing the fierce beast charging, Lin Ming let out a loud shout and stabbed his knife towards one of the silver tigers. His mind was very clear - those two second-level fierce beasts were absolutely not to be trifled with. His target was the eight smaller brothers of the two second-level fierce beasts. The thick-skinned and meaty ones he definitely couldnt handle, so he chose the two silver tigers that had high attack power but relatively weak defense.

  "Whoosh!" One knife stabbed into the abdomen of Silver Tiger, at the same time, Lin Ming only felt a surge of great force transmitted to his arm, it was because of Silver Tigers impact that his muscles were numb, and the short knife almost fell out of his hand.

  "Oh no!"

  A whip-like long tendril shot towards Lin Mings abdomen, this was the attack of the two secondary fierce beasts. The speed of this tendril was as fast as lightning and its sharpness was like a knife, it could directly pierce through a warriors body. Lin Ming twisted his body in mid-air, but the tendril still grazed against Lin Mings thigh, causing his skin to split open.

  At that moment, Lin Ming felt as if his thigh had been branded with a hot iron rod, the scorching pain was so intense. Good grief, it was just a slight graze and it hurt this much, if he were to be hit squarely, he would be done for.

  It was just this moment of effort, and the eight first-class ferocious beasts had already surrounded him, instantly surrounding Lin Ming in a siege, deeply trapped. As long as these wild beasts made one killing rush, they could tear Lin Ming apart...

  "Not good!" Lin Ming was very clear, usually when these fierce beasts pounced together, there would be no escape. At this critical moment, Lin Mings legs stomped the ground fiercely, and with a short knife in hand, he charged towards the Silver Tiger, taking the initiative!

  "Roar!" The Silver Tiger let out a loud roar and charged towards Lin Ming, these beasts in the illusion had no fear at all.

  "Pffft!" Silver Tiger was stabbed in the throat by Lin Ming, but Lin Ming was also clawed by Silver Tigers paw, his abdomen torn open with a huge gash. If he hadnt cultivated Body Two and achieved great success with his flesh, and if he didnt have True Essence protecting him, this blow would have disembowelled him.

  "Its settled!" Lin Ming clutched his bloody abdomen, now severely injured, with his true yuan depleted to less than one-tenth. He hadnt expected the fifth floors difficulty to suddenly increase by tenfold compared to the fourth floor.

  ……

  "Its been half a quarter of an hour! Lin Ming has been in the fifth floor for half a quarter of an hour, and hes still holding on, its truly inconceivable."

  "Hmm, although it might just be an escape, at this point theres not much true yuan left, being able to escape for half a quarter of an hour is already quite something."

  "This Lin Ming is probably going to be recruited by a major power. By the way, Muyi, doesnt your Generals Manor have any interest in this?"

  Mu Yi smiled but didnt speak, this group of people still dont know that Lin Ming has a powerful master behind him, he came out this time just to temper his heart, maybe soon after he will be taken by his master to the mountain to cultivate in seclusion, how could they possibly recruit him into their Marshalls Manor.

  Of course, these words would not be spoken by Mu Yi. At this time, an elder with the surname Xu was playing with two jade balls in one hand and slowly said: "Elder Sun, you are overestimating him a bit. I admit that Lin Ming is good, but after all, he only has three-talent heavenly gift. He can reach this point at this age, probably because he had some kind of rare encounter, ate some heavenly material or earthly treasure, so his strength suddenly increased greatly. As for his future achievements, heh heh, its hard to say."

  Elder Xus words made some sense, there are people who were lucky and had access to the best resources when they were young, which helped them achieve success quickly, but as time went on, the advantages accumulated from these resources gradually wore off, and its not uncommon for them to become ordinary people in the end.

  "Old Master Xu is right, Lin Ming is indeed good, but later on, his cultivation speed wont be able to keep up and hell still be surpassed by others."

  Several elders echoed in agreement. Mu Yi smiled slightly and said, "Theres no need to say more. Lets wait and see Lin Mings results later, and everything will be clear."

  As soon as Mu Yis voice fell, the five-story Linglong Tower shook violently, and a figure was thrown out by the array, falling down like a piece of paper.

  "Lin Ming, this kid has finally come out!"

  Lin Ming killed a silver tiger on the fifth floor, suffering severe injuries. Nevertheless, at the moment of his death, he pulled up a wind wolf to block its back and finally killed two first-class ferocious beasts.

  This achievement is already enough to be proud of. To know, its much harder to kill two first-class ferocious beasts in the fifth layer of the Beast Ring than in the fourth layer.

  Far away, Lan Yunyue watched as Lin Ming was caught by the warriors under the Linglong Tower. She didnt know what kind of feeling she had in her heart. She pursed her lips and didnt stay any longer, quietly turning around...

  ……

  "Lin Ming, huh? Hes actually awake already?"

  The Phantom Kill Array is a killing formation, and the examinee who died in the Linglong Tower was shot out and would subconsciously think that he had already died, thus falling into a coma for a period of time. However, Lin Ming surprisingly woke up so quickly, with only his face looking somewhat pale. This made the elders of the Seventh Rank Wu Fang somewhat surprised. In contrast, Wang Yanfeng was still lying on the ground unconscious, which clearly showed the difference brought about by the heart of martial arts.

  "This Lin Ming, should be the first in this assessment." said Old Man Sun.

  "Thats what they say, but the first prize is the Red Golden Dragon Pill. Dont you think its a bit of a waste to give it to a third-rate talent like him? How much can he absorb? The first place in the annual assessment not only looks at the results of the assessment, but also refers to the students own talent." After Old Man Sun proposed his suggestion, Old Man Xus hoarse voice echoed.

  Elder Sun said, "Indeed, we must refer to the innate talent, but that is only when the scores are not much different. However, Lin Ming took first place in all three rounds of assessment, and its likely he will be first overall. How can this convince everyone? Im afraid all the examinees will think theres something fishy going on, that were being unfair and unjust. As for wasting the Red Golden Dragon Pill, its purpose is only to attract talented individuals to come take the Seven Profound Martial House assessment. You dont think the sect would expect to use just one Red Golden Dragon Pill to create a promising core disciple, do you?"

  "Moreover, as far as I know, Xu Changlao and the master of the Wang family in Yuelu City are old acquaintances?"

  Sun Laos last words were indeed a slap in the face. Xu Lao let out a cold snort, "Sun Cibei, Im just stating facts. If you guarantee that Lin Ming will be first in this assessment, I wont object. Lets see, half a year from now, who will be stronger between Wang Yanfeng and Lin Ming, and who will enter the Heavenly Palace first?"

  Sun Zhanglao was so provoked by Xu Zhanglao that he couldnt say a word. He had originally been acting impartially, but since he didnt get along with Xu Zhanglao and disapproved of his hypocrisy, they ended up in this dispute.

  But when Elder Xu really said this, he didnt dare to respond. Lin Mings talent was limited after all, and it was entirely possible that he had eaten some kind of heavenly material or earthly treasure to achieve his current accomplishments. In contrast, Wang Zhenfeng was a rare four-star superior talent, one in tens of millions. If so, Lin Ming might be left far behind.

  Seeing Sun Lao not daring to respond, Xu Lao coldly laughed and said, "What, dont dare to respond now? If you insist on making Lin Ming the first, no problem. Lets make a bet. I remember that Sun Lao has a mid-grade human-tier treasure, right..."

  Xu Changlao mentioned this mid-grade treasure, and Sun Changlaos face turned somewhat unnatural. Mid-grade treasures are extremely rare in Tianyun Country, and even tens of thousands of taels of gold cant buy one. This particular item was a gift from the Seven Mysteries Valley, and it was also Sun Changlaos most valuable possession. How could he possibly use it to gamble, especially in such an uncertain bet?

  Seeing Sun Laos silence, Xu Lao had a pleased expression. He naturally knew that Sun Siwan didnt dare to gamble, and by saying this, he was trying to dampen Sun Siwans prestige.

  But just then, Mu Yi spoke up, and with a sly smile said: "I wonder if I can make a bet with Elder Xu?"
