"Almost everyone has arrived. Should we start?"
Fan Xian asked.
"Then let's get started!"
As Fan Bin spoke, he jumped up and stood in the center of the ring.
"From now on, all of you can go to the ring to be tested. No matter your martial arts or willpower, as long as you can persist in the ring, you will pass! You can become a disciple of Tongtian Academy."
Fan Bin did not organize any martial arts competition.
Many of those who came were old monsters. Not only did they have amazing strength, they also had no moral limits.
Let them fight freely in the ring, the final result is self-evident...
Maybe the promising future talent of his Tongtian Academy would be beaten to death by these shameless old monsters.
Of course Fan Bin couldn't agree to that.
So he wanted to test it in his own way, and the first thing was willpower.
With his grandmaster's mental power, he put pressure on everyone present.
In the end, there are two types of people who can hold on.
One type is those who are particularly determined and talented.
One is the one who has extraordinary strength...
Those with good talents can be admitted directly. No matter what their previous cultivation level is, Fan Bin has a way to make them make rapid progress.
As for those powerful ninth-grade masters and old monsters who have lived in seclusion for many years.
Let Fan Xian deal with them.
On the one hand, this is a test for them, and on the other hand, it is also a test for Fan Xian.
Fighting against these powerful ninth-grade masters would allow Fan Xian to break through his current realm more quickly.
The four grand masters sitting high up heard that Fan Xian wanted to test the tens of thousands of people present alone.
There were huge waves rising in their hearts.
Although the several grand masters have been very harmonious so far and have not fought each other.
But that doesn't mean they haven't thought about having a fight...
Especially Si Gu Jian, the way he looked at Emperor Qing was as if he wanted to bite him.
To put it bluntly, these grand masters may explode at any time.
It would inevitably consume a huge amount of mental strength for Fan Bin to test tens of thousands of people at this time.
By then, Fan Bin’s strength will inevitably be greatly discounted.
"Are you so sure, little Fan Bin?"
Master Ku He murmured.
Emperor Qing on the other side also narrowed his eyes.
Some people have bad intentions towards him, and Emperor Qing also has his own plans.
He did not focus his attention on other people, but on Fan Bin.
Fan Bin's actions at this time made Emperor Qing feel extremely dangerous.
Although several other grand masters have dealt with Fan Bin one after another, their understanding of Fan Bin is ultimately limited.
Emperor Qing is different.
He watched Fan Bin grow step by step to where he is today.
Many people thought that the Daqing God of War was just a martial arts fanatic who didn't pay much attention to other things and was only focused on improving his martial arts level.
To some extent, this judgment is not wrong.
Fan Bin is indeed a martial arts fanatic.
But to say that he doesn't pay attention to other things.
It is said that he is a person with problems in terms of emotional intelligence and IQ.
That would be very wrong.
Fan Bin has grown all the way to where he is today, and every step he has taken has been steady and solid.
This can be seen from the current status of the Fan family and Fan Bin's identity.
Fan Bin is absolutely extraordinary.
Such a person, when faced with a major event, must have thought about it many times.
At this time, Fan Bin seemed to have deliberately revealed a flaw.
But the question is, why did he sell this flaw?
Emperor Qing withdrew his gaze and began to observe his surroundings.
Ku He had a look of deep resentment on his face, and no one knew what this master was thinking.
Ye Liuyun sat obediently in his seat without any out-of-character behavior.
As for Si Gu Jian, he stared at Emperor Qing as if he wanted to eat him alive.
Even if this great master from Dongyi City didn't use a sword, his sharp sword intent was enough to frighten people.
"Does the fisherman gain the advantage?"
Just as Emperor Qing was pondering secretly, the group of warriors who passed the test gritted their teeth and went up to the stage.
There are also many ninth-grade strongmen among them.
For example, people like Haitang Duoduo, Langtao, and Wang Shisanlang.
They had no intention of joining Tongtian Academy, they just wanted to try out the Grand Master level.
For these ninth-grade masters, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Although their teacher himself is a grandmaster.
They also learned a lot from their teachers.
It is precisely because of this that these powerful ninth-grade masters have almost all realized the same truth.
That is, if they want to become a grandmaster, they must find their own way.
It is difficult for them to succeed simply by looking at the path paved by their teachers.
On the one hand, this has to do with their talents, and on the other hand it is also due to lack of opportunities.
Now looking at Fan Bin, they felt that their chance had finally come.
If they wanted to fight the Grand Master simply by relying on their own strength, they would probably be killed in seconds before they could figure out anything.
But now, with so many people here...
After the pressure is dispersed, they are fully capable of taking on some of the pressure themselves.
"Come on, I want to see it!"
At the moment when these ninth-rank warriors stood on the stage, they suddenly felt that Fan Bin standing in front of them seemed to have changed.
It was no longer a person, but an ocean.
Obviously, this was not only realized by the ninth-rank warriors, but also by the ordinary warriors.
They looked at the ocean in front of them in disbelief, their minds going blank.
"What exactly is going on?"
Aren't they being tested by the Grand Master?
How did it become a trial in the sea?
Looking around, all my companions were there.
But they were just as shocked.
Haitang Duoduo licked her lips, with a strong fighting spirit in her eyes.
"Teacher said that you seem to have become stronger. It seems that his words are not empty words..."
Haitang Duoduo has already met Ku He, and it was Ku He who told her that Fan Bin is no longer the same person he used to be.
At that time, Haitang Duoduo still didn't believe it, "It hasn't been long since he broke through to the Grandmaster level. It's impossible for him to advance again, right?"
It’s not surprising at all that Haitang Duoduo would have such thoughts.
Among the powerful grandmasters in the martial arts world, which one has not been famous for many years?
But ever since they were promoted to Grand Master, their strength has stagnated.
No matter how hard I try, I can't get any further.
If these veteran grand masters can’t do it, there’s no reason why a young guy like Fan Bin can be the best?
But now, Haitang Duoduo's mind has changed.
Perhaps she was too ignorant before, so she didn't notice at all that the person who had always been by his side had nothing to do with ordinary people.
What kind of strength would a 19-year-old grandmaster have at his current age?
It’s also hard to say.
Although she was shocked, Haitang Duoduo didn't change anything about what she was going to do.
She wanted to see what this youngest grandmaster was going to do.
Just as Haitang Duoduo was thinking this, Fan Bin, who stood in front of them, looked like a sea god from ancient times.
He swung his hand downward, creating a huge wave behind him.
The waves continued to rise, from ten feet, two feet at the beginning... to a height of more than ten feet in the end.
Fan Bin was like an ancient god, looking down at them from above.
Clearly, tens of thousands of people were taking the test at the same time, but at this moment, each of them was trembling in their hearts.
They didn't even dare to think about what the person in front of them was going to do.
"Ride the wind and break the waves, the sea is boundless!"
Fan Bin spoke coldly.
At this moment, he really was like a god from ancient times.
Overlooking everything, looking down on all living things...
Following Fan Bin's command, the huge wave, more than ten meters high, came crashing down from above.
Of the tens of thousands of test takers on the scene, more than half retreated in embarrassment.
"Run!"
At this moment, they truly felt the life-and-death crisis.
The hairs on their bodies have stood up.
This was even more terrifying than the cliff test they had taken.
Although the cliff test was very dangerous, as long as they had a certain level of strength and could hold the rope firmly, relying on their martial arts skills, it would not be difficult to pass it smoothly.
When Fan Bin set up that test, it was not to target warriors, but mainly to clear out the outsiders.
But things are different now.
They really felt that the waves could completely swallow them up and take their lives.
After taking a few steps back, these people rolled down the ring.
At this time, some people were still climbing up, but as soon as they climbed up, they fell down immediately.
They are even worse off than those who went up there first.
They didn't even see Fan Bin's image before, and were directly smashed out by the waves.
After being smashed out, most people felt like they had survived a disaster.
Some people, after figuring out the taste, turned pale.
Looking at the arena in front of them, they finally woke up from the illusion.
Among those who were eliminated, some immediately realized that they had missed a great opportunity.
"No!"
Unwilling to give up, they gritted their teeth and continued to climb.
As soon as he took a step, a figure appeared in front of him.
"If you miss it, you miss it. Some opportunities only come once in your life! Do you understand, my friend?"
The person who appeared before them was Fan Xian.
Fan Bin had already instructed that anyone who failed the test would not be allowed to take the test again.
He didn't cause any actual harm to these people. Once these failed guys figured it out, they would definitely pester him.
No matter how strong Fan Bin's spiritual power is, he can't keep so many people trapped in the illusion test.
This is a test of will, not mental strength...
"what!!"
Looking at Fan Xian who was standing in front of him, the warrior who failed the assessment burst into tears.
As a powerful warrior, he has completely disregarded his image at this moment.
He just knelt there, expressing the sorrow in his heart.
The several grand masters on the stage also had solemn expressions.
They were all well-informed people and they quickly figured out what methods Fan Bin used.
You know, after they were promoted to Grandmasters, they also studied these in order to make further progress.
"This is a magician's method..."
There is martial arts in the East and magic in the West.
It’s just that among the wizards in the Western world, there are no powerful ones like the Grand Master.
At most, it is comparable to the ninth rank!
Moreover, even those mages who are comparable to the ninth-grade would not be able to fight against the real ninth-grade warriors.
Now, Fan Bin actually used such means?
How could they not be surprised?
"In the Western world, a ninth-grade wizard is called a magician. Although they have never had a great master, they also yearn for this level of power. So I came up with a name for this level of power."
"Grand Mage!"
Ku He suddenly laughed when he said this.
He is always serious, but when he smiles he actually looks kind and benevolent.
“I never thought that the world’s first great mage would appear in our east!”
Hearing Ku He's words, everyone else laughed in unison.
"This kid's talent is truly unique!"
Even Si Gu Jian sighed.
Before Fan Bin appeared, their definition of genius had always been limited.
To be able to reach the ninth rank before the age of twenty is already an amazing genius.
But this standard is obviously inappropriate for Fan Bin.
Not only had he become a grand master before he was twenty years old, but he had also studied Western magic and became a great mage.
Don't think that Western magic is easy.
Since they were promoted to grand masters, all of them have been looking for ways to break through.
Once they have such thoughts, they will naturally notice magic.
After all, magic and the true qi they practice are completely different.
If you practice with a completely different approach, you may be able to learn by analogy.
The idea is beautiful, but the reality is very ugly.
Up to now, their understanding of magic is even deeper than those traditional magicians.
But if they want to rely on magic to achieve what Fan Bin did, they undoubtedly cannot do it.
But Fan Bin did it.
How long has Fan Bin been promoted to Grandmaster? How long has he been exposed to magic?
In comparison, they are indeed old.
Ye Liuyun also had a deep understanding of the topic that Si Gu Jian was talking about.
His understanding was even deeper than anyone else present.
When the others fought with Fan Bin, they were at most depressed.
Ye Liuyun has suffered setbacks before.
He was actually defeated by the Liuyun Sanshou technique he created. Who would dare to believe this if others told them?
No matter what others think, Ye Liuyun has truly witnessed how powerful Fan Bin is.
Although the other person is young, in Ye Liuyun's heart.
The depression and frustration that Fan Bin brought to him were even greater than when he lost to Wu Zhu.
While several grand masters were talking, Fan Bin, standing in the center of the ring, began the second round of tests.
"The sea is boundless!"
This time he increased the output power, and the waves in front of everyone were no longer simple waves, but biting sea sharks.
A sea shark made of seawater!
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!!!"
Sea sharks rushed over, and a group of people who had just barely managed to hold on fell down again.
"Not enough, the third level of the boundless sea!"
After two rounds of screening, there are still a thousand people left on the stage.
Originally Fan Bin wanted to end here, but now it seems that this is not enough.
