As time passed, people started to give up one after another. Those who were still gritting their teeth were also covered in sweat, and their faces were filled with pain.
After a quarter of an hour, only half of the three hundred disciples managed to hold on, while the six disciples of the Star Seeking Tower recorded all of their names down. Obviously, those who had held on for fifteen minutes had passed the second round of the test.
Normally, they should be able to start the third round of the test. However, the six disciples of the Star Seeking Tower realized that the power of the formation had yet to dissipate. Therefore, they looked at each other and decided to act according to the situation.
At this moment, the peak Crystal Transformation Stage martial warrior had already controlled the formation, adding another layer of his aura to the previous one. This wisp of aura was aimed at Alex!
During the first test, he had noticed Alex. As the second test began, he realized that Alex was different from the others. After fifteen minutes, the young men who had been enduring the pressure from his aura were all exhausted. However, Alex had been in the formation the whole time with a relaxed expression, as if nothing had happened. His facial expression didn't change at all.
Therefore, this peak Crystal Transformation Stage martial warrior was curious about what Alex's limit was. Alex was at the Spirit Origin Stage Level 9 at the age of 16 which means his talent was on par with those Inner Tower disciples' talents.
Just like any other power, Star Seeking Tower also had three parts; namely Outer Tower, Inner Tower, and Central Tower. He had entered the Inner Tower after stepping into Crystal Transformation Stage at age of 25. His own talent was outstanding, but at the age of 16, he was just a Golden Core Stage Level 9 martial warrior. His cultivation started soaring only after entering the Star Seeking Tower.
Now that he was looking at Alex who possesses Spirit Origin Stage Level 9 cultivation base at the age of 16, he wanted to see how far Alex could go.
His aura had become stronger than before and it had undergone countless changes. At first, his aura was like a storm pressuring Alex, then it transformed into a stormy sea before it started producing thunder and lightning as well. Of course, everything was because of the formation, otherwise, his strength alone was far from enough to produce thunder and lightning with just his aura alone.
But no matter what he did, Alex was not affected at all. This scene was also seen by everyone and they all revealed shocked expressions. Those who had experienced the pressure of the second stage knew how powerful this aura was. However, Alex's performance exceeded everyone's expectations.
The other six disciples of Star Seeking Tower were also shocked. If it was them, they wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure from this kind of aura for so long. Not to mention, Alex looked so calm.
The astonishment on their faces became stronger and stronger. The peak Crystal Transformation Stage martial warrior gritted his teeth and unleashed an even stronger imposing manner.
At this moment, Alex seemed to understand that the person wanted to test his limit. Not wanting to attract any more attention than he already had, he acted as if he couldn't withstand the pressure and took a few steps back.
If he still needed Energy Points to replicate the treasures from other people, he wouldn't have minded attracting as much attention as he could, but not anymore, for he could replicate treasures with his strong soul force. He just needed to think of ways to grow his soul force stronger.
The Crystal Transformation Stage martial warrior admired Alex's performance more and more. Seeing that Alex had taken a few steps back, he didn't want to make things difficult for Alex as he withdrew his aura. The second round had ended with this.
Perhaps, everyone felt that Alex really couldn't hold on any longer. But only the Crystal Transformation Stage martial warrior knew that Alex was giving him a way out.
After all, he was a Crystal Transformation Stage martial warrior, if even he couldn't make Alex retreat, people will mock him and think that the Star Seeking Tower is capable of nothing but just this much.
Only a hundred people were qualified to participate in the third round. This group of people was gathered together. The same person stood in front of everyone and said, "First of all, I would like to congratulate all of you. All of you are qualified to become the Outer Tower disciple of Star Seeking Tower."
As soon as these words were spoken, When these words were spoken, most of the people in the crowd had excited expressions on their faces. There was a small group of people who were comparatively calmer and their expressions revealed nervousness and anticipation.
After all, those who passed the two tests could only become disciples of Outer Tower.
To many people, becoming disciples of Outer Tower was a great joy. It could be said that they had brought honor to their ancestors. Well, all of them already knew that the Outer Tower disciple was just the kind of person with the lowest status in the Star Seeking Tower.
Only by becoming Inner Tower disciples could they truly be considered as successful!
However, it wasn't that easy to become an Inner Tower disciple.
Alex didn't feel anything. The token Cleo gave him also represented his identity as an Outer Tower disciple. And the same thing happened now. Although the test here was much simpler than what Cleo had taken, the result was the same.
However...
The peak Crystal Transformation Stage martial warrior continued, "There is another round of test. The next round of the test will determine whether or not you are qualified to become an Inner Tower disciple. I'll remind everyone that the test is not easy. Those who want to withdraw can do it now. As for those who want to take the test, all of you have to watch carefully. This test will be the test of your comprehensive ability."
After saying that, he moved his body and unleashed a set of Palm Techniques. The Palm Techniques looked slow and simple, but they were full of mysteries. Many people had just finished looking at the moves. In the blink of an eye, they wanted to recall them, but they realized that they could no longer remember anything.
A set of Palm Techniques had been used.
That person again said, "What I used just now was a top-class Martial Arts Skill called Thousand Illusion Palm. It has a total of hundred moves and if used all hundred moves simultaneously, it'll create an illusion of thousand palms. I've shown a total of 20 moves just now. The third test is for all of you to take turns to step forward and use the moves you have recorded down. As long as you can use 10 moves I've just shown, you will qualify to become an Inner Tower disciple!"
As soon as his voice faded, a person immediately walked out impatiently and said, "I'll do it!"
Then, he started to use the Thousand Illusion Palm according to the moves he remembered. However, when he used it, he realized that even though he remembered the moves, his body didn't listen to his commands. He didn't even succeed to make one move. He could only retreat dejectedly.
One after another, people came forward to try it. Finally, they understood that not only was it difficult to see the Thousand Illusion Palm used by the Crystal Transformation Stage martial warrior, but even if they could see it clearly, they wouldn't be able to use it if they didn't understand trick behind it.
Among the hundred people, there were very few who could use three moves of Thousand Illusion Palm.
None of the people present succeeded until there were only two of them left.
Alex had yet to undergo the third round of the test. Everyone's eyes were focused on Alex. They all felt that Alex could succeed.
As for the other person, he was standing beside Alex. He was a man with slightly dark skin and an unattractive appearance. In the previous two rounds of the examination, he did not display any shocking results. He was a character that no one had ever noticed.
At this time, he looked at Alex and the corners of his mouth curled up. Then, with a confident and calm expression, he walked to the center of the square!
After walking to the center of the square, he adjusted his breathing, exhaled, and began to display the Thousand Illusion Palm Technique.
Just his stance alone made everyone feel that this person was extraordinary. His moves and movements actually had a mysterious feeling. Even the Crystal Transformation Stage martial warrior couldn't help but nod his head.
