"There was a real monster in the aptitude test that just finished."
Li Wen nodded. "Yeah, I heard some whispers. How are you guys doing?"
"We're getting by. Sticking to the plan," Fang Chenghong replied succinctly.
Under the immense pressure Li Wen represented, he, Du Yun, and the others never slacked off.

He walked to an inconspicuous corner at the very edge of the Nine Heavens Peak spectator area, found a seat, and suppressed his aura to the absolute minimum. He seemed like just another ordinary disciple, quiet and unremarkable.
But he could clearly sense several exceptionally focused gazes directed at him from Sky-splitting Peak, Xingyan Peak, and even from within the Nine Heavens Peak area itself.
The owners of those gazes were, without exception, the top senior disciples or well-known geniuses of their respective peaks.
His gaze swept calmly toward the center of the plaza.
