It was similar to the method used to test the bloodline. This time, what awaited the youths was still a huge sword formation diagram.
The only difference was that within the range of this sword formation diagram, there was a terrifying pressure. Stepping into it was as if he was suddenly carrying a thousand pounds of weight. It was extremely difficult.
The youths were asked to sit quietly and judge their results based on how long they persisted.
This was indeed a good way to test one's willpower.
Lin Xuan and the other 100 people were arranged in the No. 8 sword formation map.
When the youths sat cross-legged on the ground and prepared themselves, the silver-robed elder outside the formation activated the formation. Instantly, the gravity on the ground seemed to increase by several times, as if an ancient mountain was suddenly pressing down on their backs. Some youths were not prepared in time, and they screamed miserably as they were directly pressed down on the ground.
After holding on for less than three to four minutes, some youths screamed and gave up. There were also some who fainted and were carried out by the third-generation disciples who were prepared outside the array.
Soon, only 60 people were left.
Most of them had their brows tightly knitted together as they closed their eyes and tried their best to hold on. Bean-sized beads of sweat seeped out from their foreheads, cheeks, and backs.
Some people even bit their lips because they couldn't bear the burden. Traces of red blood flowed out of the corners of their mouths, and their bones made cracking sounds.
Of course, there were also some who were very relaxed. They had a good foundation in martial arts. Their bodies were flickering with weak flames, which was a symbol of mastering Xuan Qi. Using the power of Xuan Qi to resist the pressure was naturally much easier than relying on physical strength to resist.
Only Lin Xuan was an exception.
After his fortuitous encounter in the cave, his body had been reborn. His physical strength was not inferior to that of a Martial Apprentice with one Aperture. His bones were tough and he had a strength of 2,000 pounds. He was definitely a crane in a flock of chickens compared to the young men around him.
Thus, it was not strenuous at all. His expression was extremely relaxed, and he still had the energy to carefully observe the expressions of the people around him.
"Eh? Wasn't this the young man called Zhang Fan? There was also Young Master Li Wen from Sunset Town!”
Lin Xuan suddenly discovered that a dark-skinned youth with bulging muscles and an exposed chest was sitting in front of his right hand. It was Zhang Fan, the hunter with extremely poor aptitude who was judged to be an earth attribute level 4 when he participated in the attribute test.
Perhaps it was because Zhang Fan had been hunting for a long time in the ancient times, but his physical fitness was much stronger than other young men.
Under the sun, his bulging muscles were dark and shiny, as if they were being cut by a knife or axe. They were full of strength, which made his performance in the Sword Formation Diagram much better than ordinary people. Although there was a thin layer of sweat on the surface of his body, the expression on his face was not very painful.
Meanwhile, the young master of Sunset Town, Li Wen, was sitting cross-legged beside Zhang Fan with his eyes slightly closed. He looked extremely calm and relaxed.
Time flew by.
The people around him also decreased one by one.
Four hours later, the number eight sword formation was completed. There were only ten youths left, including Lin Xuan, Zhang Fan, and Li Wen. The others either chose to give up because they couldn't endure the intense pain, or they were carried out of the formation because they had fainted.
At this moment, Lin Xuan also felt a slight strain.
As time passed, the pressure of the sword formation gradually increased. At this moment, it had almost reached the level of nearly ten times the gravity.
Zhang Fan was clearly doing his best to hold on. His entire body was covered in bean-sized beads of sweat, and his ordinary face was twitching in pain. His lips were about to be bitten off, and traces of red blood flowed down from the corner of his mouth to his chest. He was supporting himself on the ground with both hands, and his entire body was trembling as he endured unimaginable pain.
Lin Xuan and Zhang Fan were the only two people among the remaining ten who did not rely on mystic qi to resist the pressure.
Even Li Wen, who had been calm all this while, now had an extremely pained expression on his handsome face. His white clothes were drenched in sweat and his body was trembling slightly. A faint blue light flickered on his body as he relied on his Profound Energy to resist the pressure.
This was the true test of willpower.
Under such a heavy pressure, every minute and every second felt like an invisible knife was cutting your flesh. The pain was so intense that it could not be described with words. As long as you relaxed your willpower, you would faint.
Pa!
A youth beside him finally could not hold on any longer and fainted.
Half an incense's time passed.
Pa!
Pa!
Another four youths fainted.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, only Lin Xuan, Li Wen, and Zhang Fan were left in the eighth sword formation.
At this moment, Lin Xuan was also enduring intense pain.
The sword formation diagram seemed to have undergone some kind of mutation. Other than the huge gravitational pressure, it was also filled with a kind of aura pressure similar to that of an expert, directly affecting the soul of a person. This kind of pain was thousands of times more painful than being cut by a thousand cuts. It was like the legendary hell and bitter sea. People with insufficient willpower would probably go crazy in an instant if they were placed in such an environment!
