Chapter 5: The Bet

Shocking as it may be, the assessment must continue.
Fortunately, the sect still has a backup, so that the children who come after can still go through the assessment.
But with Li Shian's rare sun and moon spiritual roots, it's unlikely that anyone else's talent will attract much attention. However, there is a child named Yan Sizhe who has a wind attribute spiritual root, which has caught everyone's attention.
As for the group of children without cultivation, more than ten of them have passed the assessment. Among them, there are two outstanding ones named Hua Lanyi and Bai Jingze. Hua Lanyi lit up the five levels of the Zita, while Bai Jingze lit up the six levels. This level of achievement indicates that their talent is not inferior to Yan Sizhe and the others, aside from their cultivation strength.
Without a doubt, Li Shi has also passed the second assessment.
For the third assessment, it will be presided over by the head of the sect, who will use the pressure of their peak Nascent Soul stage to oppress the participating children. Those who cannot withstand it and collapse will be disqualified, until only the final two hundred remain on the field.
"Leave in peace!"
Hearing this voice, Lishi'an clenched his fist, turned around, stared at the person, and said with restraint, "This is the Silver Moon Sect, Yushen Hong, don't go too far!"
"Huh? I went too far? Remember who you are, Li Shin'an, and don't forget your position - I am the master, and you are the servant! What, do you really think that having a little talent means you can say goodbye to the past and no longer recognize me as your master?"
"So what if it's the Silvermoon Sect? Let me tell you, your parents will always be my dogs by my side. You, Shi'an, are no exception!"
"Yes, I admit that my aptitude is not as good as yours, but I won't lose in this assessment." After thinking for a moment, Yushen Hong graciously said, "How about we make a bet?"
"It's a competition to see who can endure the longest. If you win, I'll spare you and stop picking on you in the Silver Moon Sect. If you lose, give me that necklace. So, are you up for it? Do you dare to compete?"
Yu Shim Hangcheng Zhang [Note: Name] said arrogantly that he is no longer afraid of Lishi An. These days, he has also sent people to investigate. The little girl who protected Lishi An before was just a beginner in the Golden Core stage.
As for his master, Xiao Yiming, he is at the peak of the Golden Core stage, and he holds the second position among the disciples of the Silver Moon Sect!
"Who are you, my friend? And who are you to call me your master? Why is your face so arrogant? Didn't you hear what I said last time?"
Emperor Xiaoyue was afraid of being taken advantage of when he left, so when he saw him being blocked by someone, he quickly caught up and protected his own disciple behind him.
"You want to take advantage of others again？ What? Can't forceful robbery work this time, so you changed your strategy?"
Li Shi'an watched as Emperor Xiaoyue protected himself in front of him, his mouth couldn't help but curve upwards. Is this what it feels like to be protected by someone?
"If Yu Shenhong loses, I will offer this Condensing Yuan Pill with both hands."
"How about it, Junior Sister? Now it's not considered Shen Hong's empty-handed wolf anymore!" Xiao Yiming walked over, looked at Di Xiaoyue, and smiled. "Junior sister's golden pill has never been good, so you must need this Condensation Yuan Pill."
"I don't need it."
"I promise," two voices simultaneously sounded. Since it would be beneficial to their master, they would win for their master.
Lishi'an agreed, and both Lishi'an and Yushen Hong flashed their respective formations under their feet and disappeared.
"Alright, the bet is on. Let Heaven and Earth bear witness. Little Junior Sister, your opposition is futile now."
Seeing this, Emperor Xiaoyue pulled Li Shi'an away, feeling frustrated, "Are you stupid? It's obviously a trap and you're falling right into it!"
"The family itself excels in spiritual soul, and moreover, Master Yun Shen Hong's father is at the Nascent Soul Stage. After being together for a long time, one can become somewhat immune. There will definitely be an advantage in this competition."
"Don't worry, Master, I will win," Li Shi'an said with a smile. "Isn't that what you said? I am very powerful."
She didn't worry about leaving when she was older, but now, she had just rebuilt her dantian a few days ago, could she win against the pampered little prince of the Thousand Lantern Empire?
She also had an impression of the name Yu Shenhong, supposedly the most beloved son of the ruler of the Thousand Lantern Empire. Later, she didn't know how he got rid of his brother and became the crown prince himself, but it seemed that since then, the Thousand Lantern Empire slowly declined and was eventually annihilated by someone.
"That's just... never mind, go up on stage. Don't worry too much. If we really lose, we can always trick them someday and snatch it back."
Li Shi'an was delayed on the road, and most of the people had already arrived. After a while, everyone was here, and the leader finally appeared and started the assessment.
At first, the pressure released by the headmaster was relatively small, although uncomfortable, everyone could hold on. In the second round, the few people who were focused on were as relaxed as if nothing had happened.
Time passes little by little, and the difficulty gradually increases. The children who can't hold on are carried away by the responsible disciples.
Soon, the number of people decreases bit by bit to just over two hundred. Everyone is unwilling to work hard to this point and be eliminated, but they persevere desperately.
Guan Shenhong is actually starting to struggle. He has been spoiled since childhood and cannot endure such hardships. Seeing that most people are able to rely on their cultivation to resist, he finally released his cultivation.
Yushen Hong subconsciously felt that even if Li Shian reshaped his dantian, his strength would definitely not be much higher. Where could he compare to his Qi Refining Level Ten?
Soon after, Xie Xiaoxi Yan Sizhe and the others couldn't help it either and started using their cultivation to resist. Except for Hua Lanxi and Bai Jingze who had no cultivation, only Li Shian was still struggling.
Seeing this, Emperor Xiaoyue didn't worry anymore. After all, in the previous life, when Li Shi'an was abandoned, he joined the Silver Moon Sect. She was also concerned about causing trouble.
At this rate, Li Shi'an might even take first place again.
小墨忍不住传音，‘时安你在等什么，你快撑不住了，还不用修为是等着被淘汰吗，现在可没到二百。’
离时安咬牙坚持着，‘再等等，马上就好了，我想用这种压迫感巩固修为，这可是千载难逢的机会，不然下一场考核，我取不到什么好成绩。’
He used to hope that he could enter the Silver Moon Sect, but now he wants to win every match as the first one for Emperor Xiaoyue.
Bai Jingze is almost unconscious. The only thought in his mind is not to fall, not to fall. There are only three people left. As long as they hold on, it will be fine. As long as they hold on, he can escape from that place.
Hualan Yi is not much better either. The only ones left in the field without cultivation are her and Bai Jingze. There is no reason why Bai Jingze can withstand it but she cannot. She also has a reason to enter the Silver Moon Sect.
Finally, the last person fell down, leaving only two hundred people on the field.
"Alright, congratulations everyone for passing this assessment. For those who don't have any thoughts on achieving good rankings, you can go rest and prepare for the final assessment."
As soon as these words came out, a large number of people on the field collapsed instantly.
In order to save time, the headmaster accelerated the speed.
Now, Li Shi'an couldn't hold on any longer, stumbled and almost fell. Considering the gambling agreement, he released his cultivation. Suddenly, he felt much more relaxed.
Yushen Hong has always been keeping an eye on Lishi An, trying to see when he would fall, but he didn't expect to witness this scene.
Yushen Hong can't believe it, this is impossible!
Incredibly, it is the peak of Qi refining!
Yushenhong secretly resents, why, why is he inferior to Lishi'an in everything!
Clearly just a servant, but he's superior to him in everything!
