Even though he said that, Hu Xifeng was still very worried about Ming Yu.
Just now, when he was watching others undergo the final test of the whip, he already felt that the pain was unbearable. Although the Black Ship leader only used his physical body, he was the one with the Core Controlling Stage of ninth stage Peak Expert. With that level of combat strength, even if his physical body was stronger than his by who knows how many times, so even though he was an expert of the eighth stage of Core Controlling Stage, his skin and flesh was as hard as steel, he still felt fear towards it.
And sure enough, when the whip landed on Hu Xifeng's back for the first time, he already felt a heart-wrenching pain. He found that the pain was even more severe than he had imagined.
If not for his strong willpower and determination, he would not have lasted two minutes!
So, today, Hu Xifeng was able to pass the final exam. His mood was especially good. After all, he had created a miracle and broke through.
Even if his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds to the peak of the seventh stage of Core Controlling Stage, in the end, he was still inferior by a level. In terms of physical fitness, Ming Yu had already lost, but in terms of willpower, it was even more impossible for Ming Yu to be compared to him.
Thinking of this, Hu Xifeng was a bit depressed.
"Hopefully, this boy will be able to survive. If he is unable to do so, it will only be your misfortune, and our fates will end here."
Hu Xifeng muttered as he was led to the side by the soldiers to stand together with the other warriors who had also passed the assessment. When the number of people reaches a full ten, they will all be brought along with the Black Ship. Although Hu Xifeng really wants to see what the majestic and mysterious Black Ship looks like, he can also see if Ming Yu has the qualifications to be his disciple.
"Next, Ming Yu."
At this moment, the soldier's voice sounded again. Ming Yu, who had been waiting in the line for a long time, also stepped forward lightly.
"Hmm?"
The soldier was prepared to bring Ming Yu directly to the front of the stone platform for the first test, but when he saw Ming Yu's delicate and pretty face, he was a little surprised. No matter how he looked, Ming Yu didn't look like a teenager.
Not only the soldiers, even the two thousand experts who were waiting saw Ming Yu's figure and they all felt puzzled.
However, after they felt Ming Yu's peak of the seventh stage of Core Controlling Stage, they suddenly realized that this boy had really met the requirements to become a royal family's servant, and they were discussing about him in whispers.
Previously, everyone was only concerned about the exam's content, so naturally no one paid attention to Ming Yu. But now, when Ming Yu stood in front of everyone and accepted the test, everyone finally realized how young Ming Yu was.
"This boy, to think that he would already be at the peak of the seventh stage of Core Controlling Stage at such a young age. It seems that he has some talent, and his cultivation method should be quite good as well."
"From what I see, even though this youth is dressed plainly, there is still a trace of nobility in his eyes, so he should be a young master from some large clan. The reason he came here today, is probably because his World of Dynasties has sunk and his family has fallen, thus he has come to this place to protect his life."
"Heh, although his talent is not bad, it's not seen that he can pass this exam. If young master was born with a tender skin and tender flesh, even if his cultivation reached the standard, it would still be rare for him to have the ability to take a beating."
"That's right, we are here to choose a servant of the royal family, not a young master." That's right, we are here to choose a servant of the royal family, not a young master.
The few experts were all conversing in soft voices, and they all affirmed this to each other.
Ming Yu's appearance attracted most of the people's attention, but most of them were all experienced people, and most of them were around 35 years old, which made them very accurate in their ability to judge people. At this moment, most of them were looking at Ming Yu with eyes full of interest, waiting to see how this young man who grew up in a greenhouse was beaten up by reality.
"You are Ming Yu?"
The soldier confirmed Ming Yu once again. It was only when Ming Yu nodded that he brought Ming Yu to the front of the stone platform.
"Raise the copper hammer for ten seconds. Once the copper hammer lands on the ground, it will count as a failure in the assessment. Get ready to start now." the soldier reminded him.
"Understood."
While speaking, Ming Yu had already taken a step forward with his right hand on the copper hammer.
This was the first time Ming Yu had come into contact with a godly weapon, and the moment he held the bronze hammer, he felt a sense of desolation and heaviness. His true energy circulated within his body, and before he had even drawn it out by himself, he was subconsciously sucked into the handle of the hammer.
It even felt like his heart was beating!
Ming Yu didn't expect that the moment he gripped the copper hammer, he would feel it so clearly. He didn't seem like he was holding a dead object, but rather trying to communicate with a living soul.
"So this is a godly weapon!"
Ming Yu's heartbeat quickened. World of Dynasties s, seemed to never have the concept of divine weapons, yet in this extreme region of the northwestern part of the World of Dynasties, such a copper hammer had already appeared!
Ming Yu could feel that the copper hammer in his hand was a whole level higher than the other Holy Weapon. If he was to lift the copper hammer in front of him, he would feel that he could shatter this world and cause tsunami waves. It was as if he already possessed limitless power and was the overlord of this world.
"Howl!"
At the same time Ming Yu felt the energy of the copper hammer, the copper hammer also seemed to feel Ming Yu's reflection. At the same time Ming Yu felt the energy of the copper hammer, the copper hammer seemed to feel the light of Ming Yu.
The density increased and became extremely heavy. At that instant, Ming Yu felt that it was really as heavy as Mt. Tai. Ming Yu guaranteed that it was definitely the heaviest weapon that he had ever come into contact with in his life.
However, Ming Yu didn't show any fear due to the heavy weight of the copper hammer. His right hand was already slowly clenching and lifting the copper hammer.
At the same time, he pulled the bronze hammer upwards. At this moment, Ming Yu naturally felt the weight of the bronze hammer, but he felt a sense of power. If he really lifted the bronze hammer, then perhaps he would be able to release all of his strength, and his thunderous anger would be completely displayed!
However, at this moment, Ming Yu still remained calm. He did not choose to use his right arm to lift it, but chose to grab the copper hammer with his left hand instead. Because only then would he be able to maintain the same attitude as Peak Expert, who was at the seventh level of the Core Controlling Stage.
Just like that, Ming Yu slowly lifted the copper hammer. He held it horizontally in front of his chest and stood up straight.
The process was very slow, but every movement was extremely stable, without any signs of shaking.
Everyone was shocked, they never expected that the young man in front of them would actually be able to lift the copper hammer, and it did not seem like he had expended too much energy, he must have cultivated some sort of Body Tempering of Martial Technique, otherwise he would not have such a physique.
The soldier on the side was also slightly surprised. He purposely slowed down the count of seconds until the ninth second and the tenth second. Ming Yu's expression seemed to be a little weak and he finally put the copper hammer back on the stone platform with some trembling.
"Ya, this kid seems to have some skills, his strength is actually not any weaker than mine."
Hu Xifeng, who was watching from the side, raised his eyebrows. He increasingly felt that Ming Yu practiced some extraordinary cultivation technique that allowed this kid to have this kind of physique.
When the rest of the people saw this scene, they were also shocked. However, thinking about it, this was also within reason, since the youth in front of them was already at the peak of the seventh stage of the Core Controlling Stage, and had some sort of family background, physical ability would naturally not be a problem.
Just as everyone expected, very soon, Ming Yu successfully passed the second speed assessment.
He traversed the surface of the sea like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water. Although it didn't cause too much of a commotion, his speed was not slow at all. Like a cool breeze, he crossed the formation at an extremely fast speed, completing the examination.
Obviously, Ming Yu had already become the focus of everyone's attention. This unknown brat in front of them did have some skill, and his battle strength was probably not something to be trifled with.
The most excited person in the whole process was Hu Xifeng. He was 100% sure that Ming Yu definitely had a great opportunity on him. He had to take this kid as his disciple, otherwise, it would be a huge loss!
Thinking about how Ming Yu passed the first two stages with ease, Hu Xifeng started to have confidence in Ming Yu. It shouldn't be a difficult task for him to pass the last stage.
On the beach in front of them, there was a rectangular black iron frame with a height of three meters placed between the two corners. The bracelet was hanging on both sides of the corners and there were still some blood stains floating on the shallow part of the sea.
"Tie it up."
The leader of the Black Ship had already waited for a long time, he tilted his neck, stretched his body a little, and took the long whip and swaggered towards Su Yun's direction.
He had seen Ming Yu's test very clearly, and this made him more attentive.
Of course, what he cared about was not Ming Yu's talent in the eyes of the crowd. Because there were many youths of Imperial Region like Ming Yu who were stronger than Ming Yu, he naturally did not feel that it was strange.
He was clearly just a youth, but his eyes did not reveal any turbid emotions. On the contrary, they were bright, and within them, there was a hint of sunlight and confidence. One could even see some shadows of arrogance deep within his eyes.
This kind of gaze should not appear on the young man, because for someone who had prepared to take the test, failure meant that they would dejectedly return and continue to be ants. Success meant that they would become servants that served the noble families, but in the end, they were still slaves!
Therefore, not choosing to be humble was an essential mistake.
The leader of the Black Ship didn't mind using the long whip in his hand to tell Ming Yu this. Immediately, the pride in the teenager's eyes would also disappear under his crazy whipping.
"Come here."2
After the soldier received the Black Ship leader's command, he pulled Ming Yu by the corner towards the iron frame. However, he did not expect that he did not pull Ming Yu at all, and angrily rebuked: "You dare to disobey the command?"
"Naturally, I don't dare to disobey my orders."
Ming Yu stood where he was and with a flick of his left hand, he threw the soldier to the side. This action fell into the eyes of everyone, and naturally fell into the eyes of the Black Ship leader who was not far away from him.
"Then tell me, what do you mean?"
The leader of the Black Ship raised his eyebrows, immediately became interested. He saw that the young man was indeed accurate, and from the young man's eyes, one could tell that he was unruly, but reality was the same. A person who was so arrogant in front of a large crowd, and was even a young man, had not seen such a person in a long time.
Ming Yu cupped his fists together, and replied to the leader of the Black Ship: "Reporting to Sir, this lowly one only feels that this last test of endurance, actually does not have to be flogging, and I am not questioning the method of Imperial Region either. I just feel that I should have greater endurance towards beating, and if I can pass the test, I would seem to be able to become an even more outstanding servant.
Once he said that, everyone's eyes were fixed on Ming Yu.
What did this brat want to do?
"Hahahaha …"
The leader of the Black Ship laughed out loud, the expression on his face could not be seen, but his dark eyes stared straight at Ming Yu, "If there is no rule, then it is not within a wide area, you are just a wet behind the ears brat, you want to change the rules, yet you do not put my Imperial Region in your eyes?"
"Hiss …"
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air when they heard this. These words were basically criminalizing Ming Yu!
Although Ming Yu had only said a few simple words just now, with the Black Ship leader here, he immediately raised Ming Yu's question to one of disrespect towards the entire Imperial Region. In this way, even if Ming Yu were to die a thousand times, it would definitely not be excessive!
However, Ming Yu was surprisingly not surprised.
Or perhaps it could be said that he had long since expected the Black Ship leader to say this.
"What I just said was indeed a bit presumptuous." Ming Yu cupped his hands together without the slightest bit of hesitation, and continued to reply: "If this causes disrespect to the Imperial Region, then this little one would indeed deserve to die a thousand deaths, it's just that this little one wants to ask Master to give me a chance to prove myself. When you don't use true energy, you can use your peak 9th Layer of Core Controlling Stage's physical strength to attack me thrice.
The Black Ship leader laughed even more sarcastically, "Your thoughts are very bold and interesting, but what happens if you cannot withstand my three attacks?"
"Then we don't need any sympathy. We can just treat it as beating a useless trash to death and making an example out of others." Ming Yu said slowly.
