"What's up?"

Lu Chen glanced at the man indifferently and uttered two words.

Song Wen had been looking around at the people early in the morning, and in just a short while he had already made acquaintances with several powerful experts. Now he finally walked up to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen was well aware of this person's thoughts, but he was too lazy to chat with him.

Song Wen's expression changed slightly, realizing he had met with a snag. He felt awkward for a moment, but this man had an exceptionally thick skin. He smiled and said, "Sorry to bother you!"

After saying that, he turned and left to find his next target.

"His skills aren't that great, but he's very good at playing the social game!"

Lu Chen shook his head, too lazy to bother with this kind of person.

On this day, hundreds of powerful individuals above the Heavenly Martial Realm gathered from all corners of the country to participate in the Xuanwu Academy's entrance trial, and the Xuanwu Academy welcomed all who came.

Once you reach the Heavenly Martial Realm or above, you're considered to be at a preliminary level of suitability.

The next day, the pine tree glanced at the time and, seeing that it was about time, stood up and headed towards the entrance of the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm.

Everyone was immediately invigorated and followed Qingsong forward.

"Everyone, get out of the way!"

Qingsong shouted coldly and suddenly made a move. A strangely shaped token suddenly appeared in his palm.

The token was made of a very special material and exuded a mysterious power. The token flew into the air and suddenly split into six, opening up a huge spatial passage in the air.

This move was truly astonishing; everyone present, including Lu Chen, was taken aback.

"What are you all standing there for? Go inside!"

Qingsong waved his hand.

No one dared to ask any more questions. They lined up and rushed into the spatial passage together.

This is merely a temporary spatial passage, the only way to enter the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm. Apart from this method, the only other option is to forcibly break through the entrance to the secret realm and force our way in.

However, no one has dared to do this on human territory.

The Xuanwu Academy spent considerable resources and manpower to develop this Hidden Dragon Secret Realm. Naturally, only members of the Xuanwu Academy are qualified to open this Hidden Dragon Secret Realm; outsiders are absolutely not allowed to do so.

In the Tianyuan Empire, no force has ever dared to provoke the Martial Arts Academy.

Lu Chen was also at the end of the line, entering the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm together with the aloof and proud woman.

After passing through this hexagonal passage, Lu Chen felt a slight fluctuation in the space around him, but then he could no longer feel anything.

Then, Lu Chen felt his surroundings suddenly change.

The most direct feeling was in his body. In that instant, Lu Chen felt a terrifying pressure, as if it came from all directions, directly and severely pressing on his body.

This pressure seemed to come from all directions, or perhaps from within one's own body.

This terrifying pressure forced Lu Chen to fall to the ground, leaving him utterly unable to resist.

"ah!"

Lu Chen suddenly heard a scream, and then saw a person in the air crash heavily to the ground, his entire body sinking into a deep crater.

This is a desolate land, with nothing there.

But at this moment, a group of people, more than three hundred people, suddenly appeared on this desolate land.

At that moment, everyone fell to the ground.

Lu Chen was the same, but he felt a little more relaxed than everyone else. After landing slowly, he stood steadily. Apart from feeling that flying was not easy, he quickly adapted to the pressure.

In contrast, the others were struggling to hold on, their faces flushed red from holding their breath.

Most people can't even stand up.

"Not bad, it seems this is the first test. It's really not easy!"

Lu Chen glanced at the scene. Among the 389 people undergoing the trial, there were some quite skilled individuals. Although they were not as relaxed as Lu Chen, they were still able to stand up with difficulty.

"Master, these people must have relatively strong physical cultivation, which is why they were able to stand up by force!"

The voice of Xiaobai echoed in Lu Chen's mind.

"Yeah, let's ignore them!"

Lu Chen glanced at the group and noticed that the aloof girl was now slowly walking forward, struggling as if she had discovered something.

"Huh? There's something ahead!"

Lu Chen squinted and saw a huge stone tablet in the distance, about a mile away. There seemed to be words on the stone tablet.

The aloof girl seemed to have noticed it long ago, which is why she immediately started walking towards the stone tablet.

Lu Chen's gaze attracted the attention of the others.

Everyone was afraid of being beaten to it by someone else, so someone immediately shouted.

"There's a monument over there with inscriptions on it. Quick, let's go take a look!"

This shout reminded everyone.

Everyone looked up, only to find that the words on the monument were completely illegible, as if shrouded in a hazy light, and could only be seen when they got closer.

This may contain information about this trial.

Therefore, no one dared to be careless.

Those cultivators who had been slammed to the ground gradually adapted to the terrifying oppressive force and slowly stood up.

Some couldn't stand up, and some even crawled on the ground.

At this point, one can't care about appearances anymore, since one isn't the only one crawling on the ground.

Lu Chen, on the other hand, strode easily toward the monument.
