After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

He persevered from the beginning, so why did he only get a score of six, while Gao Kui got a score of ten?

Qin Chuan stepped forward, interrupting Chi Yu, and asked, "May I ask Elder Chi, how are the scores for the second round determined? Why did I only get six points?"

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, Chi Yu on the stage sighed softly, seemingly having guessed that he would ask such a question.

Immediately, he turned to the old man on his left and said, "Elder Xiao Wen, why don't you explain?"

Elder Xiao Wen snorted coldly, stepped forward and looked at Qin Chuan, saying impatiently, "The ten points for the second test are shared by the three of us assessment mentors. Each mentor has different evaluation criteria, and I have four points. I gave you zero points. Is there a problem?"

Upon hearing Xiao Wen's words, Qin Chuan's expression gradually turned cold. He realized that the old man in front of him was deliberately targeting him.

If I'm not mistaken, this person must be connected to Gu Wenxuan, and might even be someone sent by him.

After a moment's thought, Qin Chuan shook his head and smiled, "No objection."

Upon seeing this, Xiao Wen was taken aback, a hint of surprise in his eyes. He thought the other party would definitely make a scene, so he could use the pretext of causing trouble to take him down directly.

To his surprise, Xiao Tian accepted it directly and stopped arguing.

After giving Qin Chuan a deep look, Xiao Wen withdrew his gaze. He wasn't particularly interested in such a minor character.

Seeing that Qin Chuan did not continue arguing, a hint of appreciation flashed in Chi Yu's eyes. If they continued arguing, it would only be detrimental to him.

Immediately, Chi Yu continued to read out the scores, some people were happy and some were sad.

After a short while, Chi Yu finished reading out the scores and waved his hand, shouting, "Now we will proceed with the final test. This test will put your will to the test!"

With that, he turned and walked away, saying, "Come with me!"

Upon hearing Chi Yu's words, everyone sprang into action and followed behind him.

Before long, led by Chi Yu, the group arrived at a stone staircase leading up the mountain. Looking up from below, the top of the staircase seemed to be hidden in the clouds and mist, and no one knew how long it was.

Before the stone steps, Chi Yu turned to the crowd and said, "This third trial will be scored based on how quickly you finish. If no one reaches the summit within three hours, this trial will be scored as zero. Let's begin!"

Upon hearing Chi Yu's words, the group immediately sprang into action. Since the third challenge was time-sensitive, they were eager to get it done as quickly as possible.

Many of them didn't score very high in the second round, so they were hoping to get more points in the third round.

Every boy who walked up the steps seemed normal, and they all walked quickly up the mountain and gradually disappeared into the clouds.

"Senior Brother Qin, see you at the mountaintop!"

Just then, Jiang Zhixuan came over and greeted Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan nodded and said, "See you at the top of the mountain!"

Jiang Zhixuan smiled sweetly, then walked up the stone steps and soon disappeared from sight.

Watching Jiang Zhixuan leave, Qin Chuan smiled self-deprecatingly. It was truly rare that she was still willing to talk to him after he revealed his first-grade bloodline.

After clearing his mind of these miscellaneous thoughts, Qin Chuan took a deep breath and walked up the stone steps towards the mountain.

As Qin Chuan stepped onto the stone steps, he didn't feel anything unusual. After taking a few steps, he turned around and was surprised to find that everything behind him had changed drastically.

At this moment, he was halfway up the mountain, not at the foot of the mountain at all, with endless mountains and thick white fog behind him.

As he turned his head, an old man with an air of otherworldly wisdom suddenly descended from the sky and stood in front of Qin Chuan.

The old man stroked his beard, stared at Qin Chuan, and smiled, "I am the sect master of the Heavenly Sword Sect. I see that you have excellent talent and aptitude. If you directly become my disciple, I am willing to pass on all the secret techniques of the Heavenly Sword Sect to you. In less than half a year, you will be famous throughout the Southern Region!"

As he spoke, the old man exuded an unprecedented sense of oppression, a pressure that even surpassed that of Guan Yueyue, whom Qin Chuan had met.

Hearing the old man's words and feeling his imposing aura, Qin Chuan was immediately stunned.

Becoming the sect leader's disciple seems like a pretty good idea...

With this in mind, Qin Chuan was almost tempted.

Just as he was about to become a disciple, a thought struck him, and he slightly raised the corner of his mouth, saying, "May I ask, Sect Master, do I possess both exceptional talent and innate ability?"

The old man smiled and said, "Of course! You are the most talented disciple I have ever seen, a true genius. If you don't become my disciple, it would be a huge loss for you!"

"Really?" Qin Chuan chuckled. "Does having a first-grade bloodline mean you're exceptionally talented?"

On the bloodline stele, a first-grade bloodline had already been detected. He didn't believe that anyone in the Heavenly Sword Sect could see through Empress Yao Xi's methods.

Therefore, it always feels awkward to call someone of the highest rank a peerless genius.

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, the old man was taken aback, seemingly unsure how to respond.

A moment later, his face suddenly turned ferocious, and he charged directly at Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan stood motionless in the same spot, a smile on his face.

The moment the old man touched Qin Chuan, he passed right through him and vanished.

From the moment Qin Chuan realized that the old man was an imposter, he already knew it was an illusion.

He naturally understood that the old man had no influence on him. If he ran away because he was afraid of the old man's aura, he might encounter some strange things.

He had already entered the maze when he stepped onto the first step, which is why he didn't realize it immediately.

Just then, the world spun around them, the scenery changed, and seven scantily clad women slowly walked towards Qin Chuan.

As they walked over, these beautiful women removed the few clothes they had on, revealing glimpses of their bodies and dazzling the eye!

"Humph!"

Qin Chuan snorted coldly, showing utter disdain for these vulgar women!

Having witnessed the power of Empress Yaoxi, he was no longer moved by these mundane things.

The two are worlds apart!

"Get out of my way!"

Qin Chuan let out a low shout, releasing his aura and pressing down on the illusion before him.

In an instant, these illusions shattered into pieces.

A moment later, the surrounding scenery became clear again, and I was back on the stone steps.

Qin Chuan then realized that he was still standing on the first stone step, surrounded by the boys who had come up the mountain earlier, all of them looking crazy and standing there dumbfounded!

Some of these people looked triumphant, as if they were standing at the highest point in the world; others wept bitterly, as if they were telling sad stories; and some even stripped naked and did shameful things.

He made a complete fool of himself in an instant!
