Qingyuan School was located in the deep Qingyuan Mountains at Eastern Chaotic Area, Renhuang Realm. It was a holy martial land of one-thousand-year history. All warriors dreamed to train in this place.

Qingyuan School recruited disciples in a strange way. If you wanted to join other schools, you should be equipped with high gift, but Qingyuan School never attached importance to inborn gift. If you were under eighteen years old, you can take part in its exam. As long as you passed it, you can be an outer court disciple of Qingyuan School.

However, the exam was extremely hard. It's said many people dared not join in it. They were frightened away as they arrived at Qingyuan School.

Today, once again, it was the recruitment of disciples for the Qingyuan School. There were oceans of people outside of the school waiting to take part in the exam. As one member of the crowd, Zhang Yan didn't thrust forward but stood behind, listening to what the Qingyuan examiners said about the content and rules of the exam.

A white-haired elder in Qingyuan elder robe stood in front of the mountain gate. With awe-inspiring look, he said loudly, "Welcome to the key exam of Qingyuan School. Our method is simple. We will lead you to the examination site. If you can get out from it alive, you are the disciple of our Qingyuan School."

"However, I warn you that it is full of dangers including beasts in Body Refining stage and demonic beasts of Xiantian Stage. It's very dangerous."

"Meanwhile, Qingyuan School assumes no liability for all examinees' safety. Now, prospective examinees can follow me."

The elder led people to the center of Qingyuan Mountains as he spoke. Zhang Yan also followed the crowd, but some people didn't. Zhang Yan knew they were of poor talent and strength. Originally they just wanted to muddle through in the exam, but they dared not join in it as they heard how dangerous it was.

Zhang Yan followed people of Qingyuan School to the exam site. The elder pointed at a forest before them and said again, "This is the exam site. Anyone can be the disciple of Qingyuan School if he gets out from the forest alive in three days."

"You can apply any means including your strength, wisdom, tricks, money and even luck to the exam. As long as you come out alive, you are the disciple of Qingyuan School. Only people alive can go farther."

Zhang Yan thought this exam was interesting. It was beyond expectation. On second thought, martial training was so hard that only people alive can go farther.

"OK, begin!"

As the elder gave the order, amongst over one hundred people present, most of them rushed into the forest fast lest they shouldn't get out on time. Zhang Yan was in no hurry. Its focus was not on speed but on people alive. Speed was of little use. People who ran fast was just cannon fodder.

Zhang Yan found someone special among the rest of them. His loose clothes were just suitable for his fat body. Zhang Yan felt very delighted and ran to his back, a slap on his forehead, "Fatty, why are you here?"

After getting a slap for nothing at all, Fatty was ready to get mad. As he heard such a familiar voice, he turned and laughed immediately, "It's you, big brother?"
