"That's right. With the strength of a Rank 4 Yellow Class Martial Soul, unless your cultivation is above Lv 5 Martial Soul Realm, you won't be able to shake the cauldron."
...
Seeing that Ye Chen was actually in favor of Lin Xue, many disciples turned their gazes to her and started discussing.

"Hah!"
Lin Xue turned a deaf ear to the comments of the people around her. She gritted her teeth and yelled, then threw a punch at the bronze cauldron.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, an extremely powerful fist force burst out and slammed into the cauldron hundreds of meters away, causing the entire cauldron to shake violently.
Although this punch was not as terrifying as Ye Chen's previous one, Lin Xue was the first martial artist who had shaken the copper cauldron when his cultivation had not reached the fifth level of the Martial Soul Realm among all the martial artists who possessed a fourth-grade Martial Soul at the Yellow Stage.
"How... how is this possible?"

The faces of the disciples who had mocked Lin Xue earlier changed drastically as they spoke in disbelief.
"What exactly is going on?"
As if she didn't hear the words of the people around her, Lin Xue was stunned. She looked at her hands and said in disbelief.
Lin Xue knew very well that it was impossible for her to shake the cauldron with her own strength.

However, just as she was about to bombard the cauldron, she suddenly felt a surge of power that did not belong to her suddenly erupt from her arms. Finally, it violently slammed into the cauldron.
"...It's Ye Chen!"
Thinking of this, Lin Xue hurriedly raised her head and looked at Ye Chen.
"Good, he can actually shake the bronze tripod with a Rank 3 Martial Soul Realm. He did a good job!"
Seeing this, the supervising elder cleared his throat and looked in Ye Chen's direction. He smiled helplessly and said.
Obviously, the supervising elder of the Misty Cloud Sect was not stupid. He had roughly guessed what Ye Chen had done just now. If Ye Chen had not injected a little Spiritual Power into Lin Xue, she would not have been able to shake the bronze cauldron with her cultivation.
However, when the invigilating elder saw that Ye Chen's Martial Soul was at the seventh level of the Yellow Rank, he did not intend to investigate this matter anymore. He just pretended that he did not see it.
After all, it was only natural for the Misty Cloud Sect to do everything in their power to recruit a genius disciple of the seventh Huang class.
"Elder... I suspect that these two have cheated in the test!"
At this moment, a disciple who was taking the test stepped forward and pointed at Ye Chen and Lin Xue.
"What do you mean?"
Hearing this, the elder immediately pretended not to understand and asked curiously.
"During the test earlier, she was unable to shake the cauldron with her strength. However, after the disciple called Ye Chen patted her on the shoulder, the cauldron rang. I suspect that Ye Chen had secretly injected Spiritual Energy into her, which was why he was able to take advantage of this opportunity to cheat!"
The disciple sneered, looked in the direction of Ye Chen and Lin Xue, and shouted.
"If you think I cheated, why don't you try to take my punch?"
Seeing the disciple deliberately harassing him, Ye Chen sneered and said in a cold tone.
"Hahaha... Although my Martial Soul is only at Rank 6 Yellow Class, my cultivation has already reached Rank 10. If I really competed with you, do you think I would be afraid of you?"
Yang Yan sneered. He released his tenth level Martial Soul cultivation and raised his head to look at Ye Chen.
"That's enough. Are you suspecting that I'm dizzy and can't even tell if I cheated?"
Seeing that Yang Yan and Ye Chen were showing signs of attacking, the elder let out a cold snort and immediately opened his mouth to speak.
"Elder... I..."
Hearing this, Yang Yan was stunned and continued.
"Enough. Since all of you have participated in the second round of the test, you should leave quickly and participate in the third round of the test. Don't mess around here. Otherwise, I will strip you of your qualification in the name of an elder!"
The supervising elder waved his hand impatiently and spoke to Yang Yan.
"Dammit... this fellow actually dared to humiliate me in front of everyone!"
Yang Yan's expression changed when he heard Ye Chen's words. He glared venomously at Ye Chen before turning to leave.
If he offended the supervising elder, Yang Yan would lose more than he gained. Although he was not happy with Ye Chen and Lin Xue, he had to give up.
"Well, let's go to the third round of the examination."
After seeing Yang Yan leave, the supervising elder smiled faintly and looked at Ye Chen and Lin Xue.
"Thank you, Elder."
Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded and walked toward the final round of the examination area.
"Thank you... for what happened just now."
Seeing Ye Chen leave without looking back, Lin Xue gritted her teeth. After hesitating for a moment, she finally caught up with Ye Chen and spoke in a low voice.
You have to know that the Misty Cloud Sect's examination has a total of three rounds. If you are only able to pass one round, you will be considered a servant disciple!
Only by passing two rounds could he become an ordinary disciple!
For Lin Xue, it was obvious that it was extremely difficult for her to pass the second round of the assessment. If it wasn't for Ye Chen's help, she would probably only be able to become a servant disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect.
"There's no need to thank me. It's just a small matter."
Ye Chen playfully stared at Lin Xue for a moment before shrugging his shoulders and turning around to speak.
"Ye Chen... you!"
Seeing Ye Chen's frivolous behavior, Lin Xue stomped her foot in anger. The good impression she had of Ye Chen instantly vanished.
This guy was simply too arrogant!
...
After the Spiritual Power assessment was completed, it was time for the Will Test.
In the three rounds of tests, the Martial Soul test determined a martial artist's talent. The Spiritual Power test determined a martial artist's ability to control power, and the Will test determined whether a martial artist's temperament was strong enough.
The path of martial dao was full of ups and downs. A martial practitioner needed to go through countless hardships and endure endless pain. Therefore, whether or not one's temperament was strong was the most crucial point!
The Will Test was not in the examination hall, but on the Sky-reaching Cliff outside the hall.
On the top of the Sky-reaching Cliff, an iron chain as thick as an arm was hung on both sides of the Sky-reaching Tower, extending from the edge of the cliff all the way to the other end. The iron chain was covered with white mist. If one was not careful, he would fall directly into the cliff and die on the spot.
"Interesting."
Ye Chen smiled faintly and muttered to himself after arriving at the edge of the Sky-reaching Cliff.
"This is the Sky-reaching Cliff of the Misty Cloud Sect. It is also the place where you will take the third round of the examination. As long as you are able to pass it within half an hour, there will be an Elder on the other side to receive you. If you are unable to pass it within half an hour, those who have passed the first two rounds can still remain. As for the others, you can go back to where you came from."
An elder in charge of the examination glanced around the crowd and said.
"Whoosh!"
As soon as the elder finished speaking, hundreds of martial artists, including Ye Chen, jumped toward the iron chain one after another. Before that, many disciples had already stepped onto the Sky-reaching Cliff and went to the opposite bank shrouded in clouds.
