Li Chuan looked at the enormous, swinging sledgehammer before him, the knife formation gleaming with a cold light, and the sharp spears...
"This is ridiculous. Which deranged lunatic designed this assessment method?"
As soon as Li Chuan said this, many people on site chuckled.
Actually, what Li Chuan said wasn't wrong at all.
The person who designed this assessment was indeed deranged.
Almost all the sect leaders who had participated in the assessment back then had uttered such soul-searching questions!
Hua Wuci looked at Li Chuan, covered in blood, and smiled slightly: "Mr. Li, honestly, there's no need for you to suffer this. With your skills, you could do well anywhere. Why risk your life for the Seven Kills Sect?"
Li Chuan snorted coldly: "It's pointless to say more; I will not give up!"
Xiang Zhili displayed a mocking look in his eyes: "Mr. Li, with your current injuries, proceeding further is just courting death!"
"Oh?" A hint of madness appeared in Li Chuan's eyes. "Then let me see what this assessment can do to me!"
After speaking, Li Chuan took another step forward!
This time, the mechanism was two large iron plates filled with sharp daggers, closing towards Li Chuan like the jaws of a crocodile!
Everyone's heart leapt to their throats!
Xiang Zhili's mouth curled into a smirk: "This boy is really seeking death!"
Just as everyone was sweating for Li Chuan,
"Squeak!"
The two large iron plates halted midway!
The coldly glowing daggers stopped just five centimeters away from Li Chuan.
Li Chuan: "..."
The crowd: "..."
Is this even possible?
After a brief shock, Li Chuan stepped forward again. The next mechanism was a row of fire-tipped spears, with no room for dodging!
But similarly, this mechanism also stopped five centimeters away from Li Chuan!
Xiang Zhili: "How... how is that possible?"
Hua Wuci: "No worries. These seven sets of mechanisms haven't been fully activated in hundreds of years, so malfunctions are normal."
Xiang Zhili snorted: "Indeed, I don't believe this boy can be this lucky forever!"
Just as he finished speaking, Li Chuan had already taken the third step!
"Snap!"
This mechanism also stuck!
Xiang Zhili clenched his fists!
The smile on Hua Wuci's face slowly faded!
Once or twice could be a coincidence, but after the third time, this was really bizarre!
It wasn't only them; other Seven Kills Sect disciples also looked on in disbelief.
All eyes were on Li Chuan.
The fifth step, the sixth step, the seventh step...
Almost all the mechanisms next were also jammed!
Seeing this, the crowd fell silent!
Even Li Chuan found it very unbelievable!
Is this the legendary protagonist's aura?
The next second, Wang Yifeng burst into manic laughter: "Hahaha… Xiang Zhili! Did you see it? You calculated everything, but even our ancestors and the founding master are supporting the Sect Leader!"
In Wang Yifeng's camp, all the Seven Kills Sect disciples were laughing hysterically!
Li Chuan was the old Sect Leader's appointed new Sect Leader, so of course, they believed the old Sect Leader and in Li Chuan!
And now, witnessing this miraculous scene in the assessment, how could they not be excited?
Clearly!
Even the founding master acknowledged Li Chuan's identity; otherwise, how could so many mechanisms be useless simultaneously?
How could they all jam at once?
"This is fate! The luck of our new Sect Leader is also the luck of our Seven Kills Sect!"
"I didn't believe it before, but now, I believe!"
"Our Seven Kills Sect is truly going to rise!"
Wang Yifeng, Li Lei, and the group shouted excitedly!
Li Chuan was also feeling incredibly amazed.
If it weren't for these mechanisms jamming, he really might not have made it to the end.
But now, he passed the first test almost effortlessly!
Xiang Zhili looked dejected: "How... can this be? It's impossible! How could this happen?"
He reluctantly stared at the mechanisms stuck midway, wondering if it really was the founding master's blessing?
"Go! Check what's really going on here!"
The next second, he looked at a disciple beside him.
"Yes…"
That disciple hesitated slightly, then started walking towards the Bone-breaking Anvil Path!
Soon, he approached the first jammed mechanism, two large iron plates filled with sharp daggers like a giant crocodile's mouth!
This disciple hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward!
"Snap!"
"Bang!"
"Ah!!!"
As soon as the disciple stepped into the two large iron plates, they fell, trapping the disciple inside!
The sharp daggers instantly pierced his entire body, and after a shrill scream, he was instantly killed!
With the reactivation of this mechanism, the following ones began to function normally again!
"Crunch!"
"Clang!"
"Ching!"
Xiang Zhili: "..."
Hua Wuci: "..."
This is too bizarre, too shameless!
Could it be that even heaven is helping Li Chuan?
"What's going on?"
Yan Ruyu and Mu Weishuang exchanged perplexed glances.
Even they were dumbfounded by the scene!
Even if others didn't know Li Chuan's situation, they did, didn't they?
Li Chuan was a cultivator.
Cultivators are indeed strong!
But they have one characteristic: they go against the heavens, seizing the fortune of the heavens!
So, cultivators always undergo tribulations!
Heavenly tribulations are the heavens' punishment for cultivators!
Cultivators are not tolerated by heaven.
So, what just happened?
Not only was Li Chuan not punished by the heavens, but his luck was this immense?
Could it really be that the founding master was aiding him?
There seemed to be no other explanation.
Of course, the stronger Li Chuan is, the more benefits it brings to them, there's no doubt about it.
At this moment, Li Chuan had already walked out of the Bone-breaking Anvil Path.
Though he didn't know what just happened and why he was so lucky, he was indeed injured, his blood-soaked clothes attesting to everything.
Fortunately, the Lingxi inside him was continuously operating, slowly healing his wounds,
Xiang Zhili forced out a very fake smile: "Mr. Li, congratulations on passing the first test, but to become Sect Leader, there is still a second assessment!"
