After Su Rou and others left, the main hall fell into silence.
After a long while, there came a rapid sound of footsteps outside the hall. A disciple rushed in at top speed.
This person was Duan Yuxuan, but compared to before entering the underground palace, he was completely different now.
His hair was messy, his head was covered in sweat, he was breathing heavily in large gulps, running straight towards the platform like a madman.
"Haha, the first place is definitely mine, Yang Tianyu, you little brat, do you want to compete with me?"
"You think my remaining in the outer gate for six years was for nothing? Now I'll tell you, I did it for these damn things."
Duan Yuxuan was running while cheering, like possessed, his eyes fixed tightly on the platform, completely ignoring the fierce beast corpses in the hall.
"Whir." He jumped up and landed steadily on the platform.
But when he smiled on his face and looked at his feet, it was like a thunderbolt, he suddenly froze.
Because on that platform, it was completely empty, not even a hair.
"Damn, what's going on?"
After a long time, he finally came to his senses and realized that beneath the platform, there was a lot of blood, forty corpses of fierce beasts scattered all over the hall.
And the death scenes of each fierce beast were terrifyingly bloody.
This scene scared him so much that he plopped down on the platform and looked back, only then did he realize that the gate through the examination had not been opened.
"How on earth is this?" Duan Yuxuan was somewhat at a loss. His thoughts instantly became chaotic.
"Tap-tap-tap..." Just then, Yang Tianyu also ran over, but as soon as he reached the entrance of the hall, he stopped.
Looking at the scene in the hall and then at Duan Yuxuan on the platform, he was dumbfounded: "This... Is this your doing?"
Duan Yuxuan chuckled lightly, helplessly and painfully, "If I said it wasn't, would you believe me?"
"Of course, you can't have such strong power." Yang Tianyu glanced at him and then walked into the hall to examine the corpses of the fierce beasts: "Oh my god, there's still a fourth-level fierce beast. Who's behind this?"
The two observed for a long time, but still couldn't come up with an answer. They couldn't figure out who in the outer gate would have such terrifying power.
In the end, they even suspected that this was a trap set by the elders, that the elders had swallowed the first-place reward.
But when the disciples of the third level of spiritual power arrived, a dramatic scene occurred.
Everyone thought that it was Yang Tianyu and Duan Yuxuan who killed those fierce beasts, and as for the first-place reward, they divided it equally.
But the most amusing thing was that, in the face of the adoring gaze of everyone, Yang Tianyu and Duan Yuxuan didn't deny it. Suddenly, they became the first place without any explanation.
The gate was opened, and the also followed, everyone was very happy because as soon as they walked out of that gate, they became Inner Gate disciples and welcomed a new life.
But just as people were cheering and jumping for joy, a young boy who emerged from the underground palace caught everyone's attention.
He was completely naked, crying, cursing bitterly: "Who the hell is so despicable? Not only did they hit me behind with a heavy blow, but they also stripped off his clothes. How could there be such a?"
At this scene, people were quite surprised, only Chu Feng smiled slightly, looked at his intact clothes, and quietly left the crowd.
The Inner Gate examination came to an end, with tens of thousands of participants, but only two thousand passed the examination. This was not a small number.
Entering the Inner Gate meant officially becoming a disciple of the Blue Dragon Sect, and also enjoying superior treatment.
To welcome the new disciples to join the Inner Gate, the elders specially held a feast.
The full moon hung high in the night sky, the Inner Gate was filled with joyous singing and dancing, highlighting the joyous atmosphere to the extreme. However, Chu Feng did not attend this grand feast. Instead, he stayed in his new mansion, bare-chested, observing his wounds.
The wound was healing and healing quickly. If this continued, it would be completely healed in just a few days. Such a recovery ability was bestowed upon him by the divine thunder.
"What exactly are you? Why did you choose me?"
This question was not something Chu Feng asked for the first time. He had asked it countless times before, but he had never received an answer.
He still remembered the night five years ago, over the sky of Qingzhou, shrouded by the nine-color divine thunder.
The sky was as bright as daytime, the thunder danced like a dragon, the earth trembled without cease, and people thought the end had come. In a panic, chaos ensued.
But only ten-year-old Chu Feng couldn't help but run out of the house and head to an empty place.
Even now, he didn't know why he did that back then. It was like there was some kind of magic attracting him to that place.
As for later on, he was possessed by the divine thunder.
No one saw that scene, but he knew that the one in his dantian must be the nine-color divine thunder that had shaken the entire continent.
Although the divine thunder bestowed Chu Feng with a powerful body, Chu Feng still couldn't understand why such a powerful thing would be attached to his body.
"Forget it. Since you don't answer, I won't ask anymore. After all, you and I are already one."
Chu Feng smiled contentedly. Whether it was a blessing or a curse, one couldn't avoid it. If this divine thunder really wanted to do him harm, with his strength, he couldn't resist at all.
Moreover, so far, this divine thunder has brought him only benefits, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
Chu Feng dressed up and turned his gaze to a book on the bedside table. The book read the four words "Thunder Techniques Three Forms."
Taking the book, Chu Feng began to read it. This was his first time encountering martial arts, and his mood was somewhat excited.
"Four martial arts techniques, Thunder Techniques Three Forms, created by Qinglong Daoist."
"Upon reaching the ultimate stage, swift as thunder, strong as thunderbolt, comparable to the fifth-level martial arts techniques."
Looking at the few lines of introduction, Chu Feng gasped in astonishment and exclaimed, "This is the martial arts technique created by the founding master of the Qinglong Sect!"
Qinglong Daoist was the founding master of the Qinglong Sect. A thousand years ago, he was invincible across the continent. He had the abilities to fly and earth, and move mountains and fill seas. He was a true martial arts master.
In that era, the Qinglong Sect led by Qinglong Daoist was regarded as the first sect in the Three Kingdoms Continent.
The only one capable of competing with the Qinglong Sect was the current hegemon of the Three Kingdoms Continent, the Jiang Clan Empire.
However, the good times didn't last long. After Qinglong Daoist passed away, the Qinglong Sect began to decline. Soon, it fell out of the top-ranked sect in the Three Kingdoms Continent.
Now, even within this Qingzhou area, it is only a second-class sect. However, this further demonstrates the personal strength of Qinglong Daoist.
The martial arts techniques he created must be among the best in the martial arts realm. They are rare and hard to come by.
While excited, Chu Feng hurriedly began reading the training methods, determined to master the Three Thunder Techniques.
After a night without sleep, Chu Feng finally understood the training methods of the Three Thunder Techniques.
One technique is the form, the second is the intention, and the third can transform into thunder. Overall, the training of the Three Thunder Techniques is extremely difficult. However, Chu Feng wanted to give it a try.
After washing up, Chu Feng was not sleepy. So he went to the Martial Arts Pavilion of the Inner Gate.
Firstly, the Martial Arts Pavilion has facilities for training martial arts techniques. Additionally, since the Three Thunder Techniques cannot be exposed, he needed to train another martial art technique to hide his true intentions.
"It's really lively." Entering the Martial Arts Pavilion, the scene before his eyes suddenly brightened up. The vast Martial Arts Pavilion hall was already crowded.
This was understandable, after all, there were over two thousand disciples who joined the Inner Gate yesterday. These new disciples most wanted to train martial arts techniques.
The Martial Arts Pavilion is divided into six floors. The first floor has one level of martial arts techniques, the second floor has two levels of martial arts techniques, the third floor has three levels of martial arts techniques, and the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors are all places for training martial arts techniques.
Chu Feng climbed up one floor at a time. He found that the first floor was overcrowded, the second floor was much better, and the people on the third floor were already scarce.
This was all expected. Although the power of martial arts techniques varies depending on their grades, the difficulty of training is also different.
So many people would start by training one level of martial arts techniques, then when they reached the advanced stage, they would choose the next level, and finally train the third level.
However, Chu Feng's goal was very clear. Even if it was just for self-defense, he still wanted to choose the strongest one.
"Young man, I advise you not to aim too high. The martial arts techniques here are not suitable for you." But just as Chu Feng stepped onto the third floor, a deep voice reached his ears.
