As time went by bit by bit, the team was getting longer and longer, and many people had already been left far behind by Liu Wuxie.

  Still unhurried and unrushed, the people who were overtaken by him were one by one drenched in sweat, while Liu Wuyue's face didn't even have a single bead of sweat, which was really strange.

  All the way, Le Yao recorded everyone's performance as assessment materials. At first, she didn't notice Liu Wu Xie.

  Two hours later, she finally noticed Liu Wuxie, whose every step seemed to be measured and uniform in size, with a consistent pace. Even if it were her, she probably couldn't achieve this level of precision.

  After two hours of rushing, they had already split into several teams. The first team consisted of more than 200 people, with great strength and ease, occasionally accompanied by loud laughter.

  Liu Wuxie is almost at the tail of the first echelon, with a faint trend of surpassing them.

  The second watch had just passed when the pressure suddenly increased, the conversation in front disappeared, and the pressure was already approaching five times.

  It's like carrying five of yourself on the road, and maybe you can make it 100 meters, but there are still several miles to go before reaching the end, and the pressure from behind will only get stronger.

  Along the way, people kept stopping, sitting down cross-legged, and recovering their vital energy.

  Liu Wuxie had seen many sect assessments, most of which used the Innate Crystal Ball to test one's martial potential. Only by meeting the testing standards could one pass the assessment.

  This time-consuming and laborious testing method is the first time I've encountered it.

  A ten-mile long street can be traversed at a normal pace within an hour, so everyone didn't think much of it and thought that the first test was the easiest to pass.

  As time went on, some people gave up the assessment and sat down where they were, waiting for the three hours to end.

  With a consistent pace and no change, Liu Wuxie must get first place in order to enter the Yangyang Cave for cultivation.

  Only by entering the Flame Sun Cave for cultivation would he be able to fulfill his purpose of joining the Imperial Academy, absorbing more resources and striving to break through his cultivation.

  As the distance of three hours drew near, Liu Wuxie had caught up with the first echelon. The speed in front was clearly slowing down, including Bai Yu from Pingling City and Yu Yifan from Huacheng, whose speeds were far inferior to before.

  The pressure has increased tenfold, and under this intense oppression, it's not just a test of the flesh, but also of the soul.

  The last mile was the most unbearable, a terrifying soul force crushed down, and many people covered their heads and moved forward.

  "It's getting more and more interesting. I didn't have high expectations for the Imperial Academy, but it seems I underestimated them." Liu Wuxie said quietly to himself.

  The first pass seems to be the simplest, but it is actually the most difficult one.

  It's not just a test of the flesh, but also a test of the soul. If one's soul is not strong enough, they will still be unable to pass that final hurdle. When faced with an overwhelming surge of spiritual energy, those with weak souls will have their willpower collapse instantly.

  Cultivation is also about cultivating one's mind; if a person's inner strength is not sufficient, their path in martial arts will inevitably be limited.

  "Isn't this kid the one who was threatened by Tianmu Academy? How is he so fast?" More and more people were overtaken by Liu Wuxie.

  With more than half a time unit left until the end, it's probably already the limit for 500 people to arrive at the finish line smoothly.

  Ignoring the pointing and whispering from both sides, Liu Wuxie maintained the same speed and pace.

  Every step he took, the ground would produce a strange ripple that perfectly harmonized with the surroundings. In other words, Liu Wuxie walked on the street without feeling any pressure, as if he had already merged with the array.

  The people in front were getting fewer and fewer, only a dozen or so, the end was already in sight, the four huge words of Imperial College, like the scorching sun, shining for thousands of miles.

  At this speed, Liu Wuxie can basically complete the first test half an hour ahead of schedule.

  Every step he took, Liu Wuxie would attract a large number of gazes, many Innate Seventh Orders were left behind by him, this was too illogical.

  Gradually connecting the innate ninefold, far away was thrown open by Liu Wuxie.

  Suddenly!

  Two intense gazes shot towards Liu Wuxie, with some ill intentions in their eyes.

  Only Bai Yu and Yu Yifan were left in the front, with the two of them almost neck and neck, chasing each other, neither willing to give up the fight for first place.

  Following the tradition of previous years, winning first place not only brings a large reward but also possibly being taken in as an apprentice by a well-known instructor.

  Originally it was just two people competing, but suddenly another person appeared out of nowhere, no wonder they would cast over malicious glances.

  Ignoring them both, Liu Wuxie continued walking forward, gradually closing the distance. Ten breaths later, the three of them stood on the same line.

  "This is impossible, he must be cheating, his small congenital five wheels, how can he walk so fast."

  From a short distance behind came various shouts and cries. Several of the Innate Ninth Layer cultivators were extremely unbalanced in their minds, having been surpassed by a mere Innate Fifth Layer cultivator was equivalent to humiliation.

  "I suggest a thorough investigation, how can such trash be ranked first?"

  It started with two people, but soon the resentment in their hearts spread like wildfire, igniting hatred towards Liu Wuxie in many more. Among those who were surpassed by Liu Wuxie's innate six, seven, eight, and even nine heavenly talents, there were several hundred people.

  They cannot accept this result in their heart.

  Le You was making records at the moment, and the sudden shout caught her attention. Without any explanation, she knew clearly in her heart that Liu Wuxie had not cheated, but relied on his own strength to get to where he was now.

  "Look quickly, he has already surpassed Bai Yu and Yu Yifan, and is approaching the finish line!"

  A burst of exclamations spread throughout the ten-mile-long street. The first assessment of the year, and the top spot was about to be taken away by Xiantian Wuchong?

  In the last few hundred meters, the pressure was nearly ten times greater, and Liu Wuxie's pace slowed down slightly, but only slightly, as for the pressure on his soul, it didn't exist.

  It was the opposite for Bai Yu and Yu Yifan, every step they took was extremely difficult, the overwhelming soul power crushed them, making their heads ache as if countless sharp needles were piercing their minds.

  Xue Pinzhi stood at the finish line with a hint of cold smile on his lips.

  With a firm pace, Liu Wuxie finally crossed the finish line, taking two and a half hours.

  Compared with previous years, this speed is not the fastest, but in terms of realm, Liu Wuxie is absolutely the lowest.

  Just past the finish line, a terrible killing intent rushed straight at Liu Wuxie, wanting to devour him.

  He frowned, he was new here and hadn't offended anyone, why was there such a strong hostility towards him.

  Those who were assessed, had some resentment towards him, but no intention to kill. The young man standing in front of him, however, had an unmistakable killing intent in his eyes, as if telling Liu Wuxie that he was doomed to die.

  Without any warning, before the assessment time had ended, Liu Wuxie walked to one side, sat down on a clump of grass, took out a pellet of Yuanyang Dan and a pellet of Tianling Dan and swallowed them, recovering his true energy.

  Xue Pinzhi gave a glance at Liu Wuxie, as if he was looking at a dead man. Once the assessment is over, it will be his death sentence.

  Right behind them, Bai Yu and Yu Yifan crossed the finish line, the pressure suddenly disappeared, and their bodies stumbled, almost falling over.

  It was as if I suddenly lost weight and felt a bit uncomfortable. After stabilizing my body, I walked to the side and sat down cross-legged.

  This made the two people even more resentful towards Liu Wuxie. Earlier when Liu Wuxie walked out, he was calm and composed, without any discomfort in his body.

  Like a genius halo, provoked by others, or just a small ant.

  Time slipped away quietly, and people kept emerging from the ten-mile-long street. Before each person came out, they would take a glance at Liu Wuxie.

  "It's really a ghost, the imperial college has been assessing materials for years, I've all passed, the first assessment, basically dominated by Lingjing or Peak Xiantian Boundary."

  A young man with a complex gaze, the Imperial Academy's annual assessment materials, many large families will study it as a reference.

  Hundreds of people have gathered in front of the Imperial Academy gate, chattering non-stop.

  "The assessment time is over, those who have completed the first level, please follow me into the Imperial Academy, and tomorrow will be the second level assessment."

  Le Yao announced that after the assessment ended, those who failed lay on the ground wailing and crying loudly, especially those who were just a few steps away.

  This is the Imperial Academy assessment, cruel beyond compare, with no room for human sentiment.

  "Wait!"

  Xue Pinzhi suddenly interrupted Le Yao, several hundred pairs of eyes turned to him in unison, their faces filled with curiosity.

  "Does Shuai have something else to announce?"

  Le Yao's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and the entire assessment was completed under the supervision of the two of them, without any errors.

  "Le Yao Shifu, this person is extremely reckless and dared to cheat during the Imperial Academy assessment. I will have him disqualified as a warning to others."

  Xue Pinzhi still doesn't know Liu Wuxie's true identity, the content of Xue Dingtian's letter prevents Liu Wuxie from joining the Imperial Academy and has the opportunity to kill him.

  As long as Liu Wuxie is prevented from joining the Imperial Academy, the task of handing over the family head will be basically completed.

  Liu Wuxie suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Xue Pinzhi, with a hint of enlightenment in his eyes.

  Just now when Le Yao called him Shu Shixiong, she had already guessed his identity.

  "Xue Shixiong, what evidence do you have? He cheated on the spot!"

  Le Yao's face showed displeasure, The ten-mile-long street had been built for hundreds of years and had never made any mistakes.

  One by one, they gazed at Liu Wuxie with a mixture of surprise and delight. Bai Yu and Yu Yifan exchanged a glance, and a hint of a smile flashed in the depths of their eyes.

  Only when they have stripped Liu Wuxie of his first place will they have a chance to get all the rewards.

  "Le Yao Shifu, this person is only a small innate fivefold. Do you think such trash can be the first to reach the finish line without cheating?"

  Xue Pinzhi snorted in derision, a hint of sarcastic smile on his face.

  This question has been puzzling everyone present, including Le Yao. As the first person to reach the finish line in the First Trial of the Innate Five Elements, it was indeed too strange, but she was certain that Liu Wuxie had not cheated.

  "Severe punishment for cheaters!"

  Calls for severe punishment of cheaters came from all sides.

  "Expel him from Imperial Academy, such a person should be killed on the spot."

  Liu Wuxie was a lone figure, and in everyone's eyes, he didn't have any deep background. This kind of person, even if killed, wouldn't attract much attention from others.

  More and more people joined the army to punish Liu Wuxie.

  "You dare to cheat on the Imperial Academy assessment, are you tired of living? Now, surrender your cultivation and I can let bygones be bygones, strip you of your assessment qualification, and get out of the Imperial Academy."

  Xue Pinzhi's gaze was like a poisonous thorn, shooting towards Liu Wuxie, forcing him to give up his cultivation and roll out of here.

  Under the gaze of everyone, Liu Wuxie slowly stood up, then looked at Xue Pinzhi with a playful and teasing expression: "You are from the Xue family, were you sent by Xue Dingtian or was it Xue Yulang who made you do this?"
