As Alex and others continued onward, they had unknowingly arrived at the outskirts of the plaza in the middle of the Four Star Mountain City.
When everyone raised their heads to look, they could not help but inhale a breath of cold air. They saw that there were dozens of golden eagles hovering in the sky, and their cries shook the sky, and on the backs of these golden eagles stood towering figures.
At that time, there were demonic beasts whose strength they could not see through at all.
For a moment, the crowd cheered.
These people were the people from the Moon Palace, the top power in the Four Star Mountain City. They had come to recruit new and outstanding disciples for the Moon Palace and to give it fresh blood.
The people below were all extremely excited because all of them looked forward to entering the Moon Palace.
Looking at them, one could see the admiration and adoration in their eyes.
"As expected of a great power, it really is extraordinary." Alex smiled and said.
The golden eagle descended from the sky, and more than ten people jumped off the golden eagle.
The leader was a middle-aged man, dressed in fine clothes, with a round moon embroidered on his chest. The people behind also have the same dress code but they were all at least a step behind the middle-aged man. It was obvious that the middle-aged man was the leader of this group. His eyes were shining brightly, as though he could see through people's hearts.
As he walked, he revealed a faint imposing manner, making people not dare to get close to him.
This person was one of the elders of Moon Palace, Vyom, with strength at the peak of the Celestial Phenomenon Stage. His cultivation was the same as Alex's.
Behind him were all the young boys and girls, all of whom had strengths at the Celestial River Stage. All of them were valiant and incomparably confident as if they carried halos of their own. They looked at the audience with disdain but still put on a gentle smile on their faces.
"I won't say too much, you guys already know why you have come here today." Vyom looked at the people below and then slowly spoke out: "Moon Palace's recruitment spots are limited. We recruit disciples every three years. Once the spots are filled, you all have to wait three years even if your talent is heaven-defying, so I hope you all will cherish this opportunity well!"
Although Vyom's words seemed to be filled with contempt, it was actually an inspiration and he was even setting the rules!
"What I just said is precisely the rules of this disciple recruitment. If you have the ability, then come. If you don't have the ability, then stay below and watch; otherwise, if you miss this opportunity, then you can only wait for three years."
His domineering aura was clearly seen, and he was incomparably imposing.
"What is the number of spots that Moon Palace will accept each time?"
Alex knocked against the man beside him and asked with a smile. The man turned his head and said to Alex in a low voice, "Every three years, Moon Palace will recruit 100 people. So this time, there must also be only 100 spots."
As he spoke up to this point, the man sighed, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.
"Three years! They only accepted 100 people in three years. I've been waiting for three years already. This time, I have to get in!"
Alex could not help but ask, "What was your last ranking?!"
It was ok when he didn't mention it, but once he mentioned this matter, that man's face immediately turned bitter. He could not help but let out a bitter smile and say in an extremely low voice: "101!"
When these words came out, Alex, Eric, and Slivya could not help but smile.
Eric looked at him, his eyes smiling like crescent moons, and said: "Then you must have regretted a lot back then. Just one more, and you could have entered Moon Palace to cultivate." After saying this, he started laughing.
That man could not help but be slightly angry, "You guys... I'm helping you and you are mocking me. How dare you do this to me!"
It was at this time, Vyom's voice came out from the plaza once again, "There are only three examinations. As long as all of you pass, you can enter the Moon Palace to cultivate."
Soon after, a black boulder appeared beside him. There were nine inscription patterns on the boulder. Even standing far away, one could feel a majestic and powerful aura emitting from it. It faintly formed a pressuring aura that caused everyone's expressions to freeze.
"The first one is very simple. This boulder has nine inscription patterns engraved on its body. Every time an inscription symbol is lit up, the gravity will double, and all you need to do is endure for an hour until the fifth inscription symbol is lits up!" Vyom slowly said and continued: "The rules will not change, you can begin now."
When these words were spoken, everyone's expressions could not help but change.
It was really a shockingly difficult test. It is because, when the first inscription will be lit up, the gravity will double, and the same will happen after that. It means, when the fifth inscription will be lit up, the gravity at that time will be 32 times more than normal.
Enduring this high gravity is no longer anything that just everyone could do. This kind of gravity might even kill someone!
In an instant, everyone's passion for becoming a Moon Palace member was not as strong as before. They lost their will to fight and enter the Moon Palace.
After all, compared to his own life, joining the Moon Palace was not that important.
Even Alex had a grave expression on his face, "This requirement is too harsh. As expected of the top forces of the Mountain City. If the first test is already so difficult, then how abnormal would the second and last test be?"
But then, someone still dared to challenge the first test.
Everyone only saw a person with muscles slowly stepping onto the stage.
When the man took the first step, the first inscription on the boulder lit up. And the next moment, that man seemed to have frozen on the spot. It is because the gravity on the stage was now two times that of normal.
That man remained standing on his spot for a few seconds, trying to maintain his balance and momentum, and then he started moving forward again.
And at this time, the second inscription lit up.
The moment the second inscription lit up, the gravity on the stage again doubled and that person spurted out a mouthful of blood. He could no longer even stand on the stage as he fell on his knees as the sound of knee bone crushing came.
Everyone could easily guess what just happened.
Vyom looked at this person and shook his head before announcing the result mercilessly. That man was already injured because of the four times gravity that crushed his knee bone, hearing the merciless result announced by Vyom directly caused him to faint on the spot.
It was a challenge failure!
Vyom sighed and spoke: "Ok, everyone, the true test will begin now. This test will be conducted in batches. Every time, a hundred people will climb the test. The ones who could endure the gravity of five inscriptions will be qualified to participate in the second test."
"Now, the first hundred people, please climb the stage!"
As soon as he finished speaking, people slowly started climbing the stage.
They understood that Vyom did not say anything first when the first person climbed the stage because he wanted everyone to witness how difficult this test is. So, weak-willed people will not climb the stage when the true test will start and waste their time.
This was a nice strategy.
A hundred people soon climbed the stage.
Alex, Eric, and Slivya were not among these people. They were first observing the situation.
Alex, on the other hand, checked a few people's information panels and treasures on their bodies but was not interested in any one of them. So, he did not continue to look at other people's attribute panels.
The strongest one here was only a Peak Celestial Phenomenon Stage martial warrior, how could he be interested in them when his own strength was also at the Peak of Celestial Phenomenon Stage?
As time passed, the first then second, and then third inscription lit up.
Many people survived the first inscription, but more than half failed when the second inscription lit up, and only twenty people continued to endure when the third inscription lit up.
Very soon, the fourth inscription lit up and the gravity increased to 16 times on the stage. This immediately caused eight people to directly faint on the spot.
