Zhang Yan passed the bronze figures maze smoothly and turned round at Fatty, "Well, it would be easy for you."

Fatty couldn't wait to rush into the maze, but it wasn't as easy as the former maze. Though he was relatively flexible, he barely passed this barrier with his low cultivation.

Looking at Fatty covered with sweat, Zhang Yan teased him, "You are so weak. Can you hold out any longer?"

"If I was equipped with high cultivation like yours, I must pass the bronze figures maze faster than you," said Fatty.

Zhang Yan added, "Fine, no more tease. Are you OK? Shall we continue?"

"True man never withdraws from advancing. Have I ever cowered? Moreover, you'll help me." They set foot inside the fourth floor as they talked with each other.

There were many narrow walkways blocked by stone doors in the fourth floor. They could see nothing in the walkways, but Zhang Yan opened one door without thinking and walked into it with Fatty.

The walkway was wide enough for two persons to pass through side by side. When they walked for one hundred meters, they found that a white wolf lay on the floor. As the wolf saw them, it stood suddenly and stared fiercely at Zhang Yan.

"This snow wolf is at the third level of Xiantian Stage. Why is it here? Do we need to pass the forth barrier by killing it?" asked Fatty in confusion.

Zhang Yan laughed, "It's so easy. Wait a moment, I can deal with it right now." He flew to the wolf as he spoke.

As a demonic beast, the snow wolf was fierce and violent in its nature. When it saw Zhang Yan coming, it opened its mouth with fangs like sharp knives inside it and pounced on him abruptly.

Zhang Yan stood still and waited the snow wolf to jump on him, but his mouth curled into a confident smile when the wolf jumped into the air. He took two steps forward quickly and appeared before the wolf. He managed to dodge its paw by lowering his head and then he raised his punch to the beast.

Though he didn't take all his efforts, the snow wolf wasn't strong enough to fight against him. Zhang Yan's attack really hit home and the wolf neck was broken with a click sound.

"Howl!"

Before the snow wolf could strike back, it just died with a scream and fell to the ground heavily.

Zhang Yan and Fatty simply ignored the dead wolf on the ground and hurried to the fourth floor.

The fifth floor was also a stone chamber which accommodated hundreds of fierce snow wolves. A snow wolf king, twice as large as other wolves, stood at the end of the chamber. It was at the forth level of Xiantian Stage.

A demonic beast would be much stronger than a human cultivator if they were at the same level. A snow wolf at the third level of Xiantian Stage and a cultivator at the forth level were of about the same strength. Nevertheless, they faced hundreds of snow wolves. Those disciples who could arrive at the fifth floor were really strong, but they dare not step into the chamber. All of them including Long Yu just waited and saw.

Fatty stood behind the crowd and said in a low voice, "Big brother, I believe you can pass it easily. You'd better start now and get the first while no one passes."

"Don't worry about me. I just join in the fun this year and I can take part in the examination next time."

Zhang Yan said with a look of deep significance, "I must take the first this time. Take it easy, I will not only win the first prize but also help you pass the examination. Just watch."

His expression convince Fatty that he must have a well-thought-out plan.

He walked through the crowd and came to Long Yu and Hong Yuan with Fatty. Zhang Yan said with a smile, "Are you the so-called one of the three greatest masters? How could you be so timid? Are you afraid of the snow wolves?"

"Your sarcasm is vulgar, isn't it?" said Hong Yuan smilingly.

Long Yu snorted, "I don't think you dare come, but you are too slow."

Zhang Yan laughed, "It's not wise to wait. Leaders like you don't start, so the following disciples dare not take a haste action. They are not idiots."

"How about joining hands to kill the wolves? That helps solve our common problem. What's your opinion?" Zhang Yan asked.

Hong Yuan nodded, "It's a good idea. I agree."

"No more nonsense." A cold voice sounded and a man rushed into the wolves pack.

It was the genius of outer court, Qin Hao. Looking at Qin Hao, Hong Yuan shook his head with pity, "He is so nave." Then he also rushed out.

Long Yu followed the former two persons immediately for fear that he would lose.

The three people provoked the waiting disciples into rushing out.

Zhang Yan smiled at Fatty when he saw most people starting, "It's time for us to go."
