The Devil Without Pardon
Ch 14: Test 1, Giant Gong

Then the Left Guard ended his explanation.

"All right, here's just a brief explanation from me. Now let's do his first test to determine the dormitory and the group!" the instantaneous Right Guard said surprised everyone.

After the sudden announcement of the first stage examination, the students in the field all looked troubled.

"A-What... I didn't hear wrong?"

"Suddenly do a stage one exam!"

"Aren't we supposed to make preparations first?"

"What if we fail?"

Seeing the students in the field becoming noisy. The Right Guard then shouted loudly.

"Everybody Shut up!"

"As I said. If you do not pass the stage one examination, then you will be eliminated immediately. Such a person is unfit to be a swordsman in the Devil Cult!"

"This one-stage review aims to test determination and basic knowledge of inner energy!".

"If you want to become a swordsman in the cruel world of martial arts, you must have determination and a basic knowledge of inner power!"

"For those of you who failed this first stage of the exam, you will be placed in the farm, farm and service section!"

"So fight hard and don't fail!" said the Right Guard in a loud voice to them.

The disciples who heard the words of the Right Guard instantly fell silent and felt extremely agitated. Likewise, with Chun Yang who stood at the very back of the row.

"What the fuck?So here's why. The reason why they always keep an eye on me and never let me learn the science of inner energy!"

"It's real because they want to make me fail in the early stages. If I fail the first stage exam, then I will automatically be the one who has no position here."

"If that happens, they will kill me immediately. Really sneaky!" inner Chun Yang felt very angry but with a face that remained calm.

Meanwhile on the other hand, at the very front row, Chun Shengyi from the Poison Sect laughed and smiled insularly.

"Kink.... I don't know who set this up, but it's great too. This way I don't have to dirty my hands to get rid of it!" chun Shengyi thought to himself.

At that moment, several men then moved a Giant Gong to the center of the stage.

Seeing the Giant Gong the disciples went back noisy and started to second-guess the test.

"I've read it. Isn't that War Gong belonging to the Devil Cult?"

"What are they going to do with that big thing?"

"God... That big thing must be very heavy!"

After the Giant Gong was moved to the center of the stage, then the Right Guard explained what the exam was about.

"really. This is the Giant Gong that we usually use to scare and mentally destroy enemy troops during war!"

"But this is the small version. The original Giant Gong was three times larger than this."

"This is an easy test. This person next to me is the Senior Instructor at the Demon Academy, Master Lu Hong!"

"He will hit this Giant Gong six times. If you manage to survive by not fainting after six strokes, then you will be considered a pass!"

"But, if you fail here and are eliminated, then you can never become a swordsman forever!"

"Oh, yeah! I almost forgot to tell you guys. He was a King Level Swordsman. When he hits this Giant Gong, boys like you won't be able to withstand the sound waves and energy."

"But not to worry, he will adjust his strength. If you are lucky, you will be able to survive with the determination and inner strength that you have." said the Right Guard to all participants in the field.

Meanwhile in the back row, it looked Chun Yang who was feeling quite uneasy.

"Without any inner strength, I must rely on my determination to endure to the end!" thought Chun Yang in his mind.

Then on the stage, Senior Counselor Lu took his bat. While the participants who were in the field immediately got ready.

"alright. Anyone who survives until the sixth blow, will pass the stage one test. The exam's starting!" shouted the Right Guard throughout the field.

Then Senior Counselor Lu directly hit the Giant Gong.

"GWOW!!!"

The blow created a sound wave with a deep force that spread throughout the field.

The participants in the field started shouting

 agony.

"gig!"

"My head... So dizzy!"

"Aarg!"

"My stomach... Hooeeek!!"

"Apa!"

"My chest is so tight!"

The voice of the Giant Gong caused the ears to ache, the head felt dizzy, the chest felt tight, and the stomach felt nauseous.

At the first blow, over ten thousand participants had already fallen and fainted.

"As I expected. Only on the first blow. The participants who came from the sects and low-level circles were mostly uprooted and fainted!"

At that moment, before the sound waves from the first punch stopped. Senior Counselor Lu Hong then, directly hit the Giant Gong a second time.

"GWOW!!!"

In the second blow, due to the continuous sound waves, it made the resulting sound waves stronger than before.

This time three thousand more participants fell following the previous ten thousand participants.

Without waiting until the Giant Gong's voice ended, Senior Counselor Lu Hong then struck the Giant Gong once more.

"GWOW!!!"

At the third blow, the participants in the field more and more fell. Including some of them were the participants from the Intermediate Level Sect.

Now those who survive, there are only those who have energy in as much as five years or above.

The participants who were still not uprooted, seemed to sit cross-legged and use their inner strength to endure.

Now the number of participants who still survive is only less than six thousand people

Then Senior Counselor Lu further dealt the fourth blow.

"GWOW!!!"

At the blow this time, the thousand participants in the field instantly collapsed while spewing blood from his mouth.

As for the participants who were still holding on, it looked really difficult.

Some of them survive vomiting, some with bleeding ears, some feel tight, and some are almost crazy because of dizziness.

But among the many participants who really struggled to survive, there appeared some participants who only felt a little difficulty.

Those participants were the eight descendants of the eight major sects, as well as the descendants of the top-tier sects.

"Haha.... My ears are itchy" said Chun Shengyi of the Poison Sect.

However when Chun Shengyi looked up at the stage, she flinched, when she saw the Left Guard who wore a shocked expression.

"What made the Left Guard put on such an expression? His eyes seemed to be looking back. Don't-don't....."

Chun Shengyi who was instantly agitated, immediately turned his head and looked back.

As Chun Shengyi looked back, she immediately put on the same expression as the Left Guard.

On the other hand, the other seven descendants felt astonished, when they saw Chung Shengyi who suddenly turned his head back with a surprised expression.

"What's wrong?"

"What's going on?"

"Why is he looking back?"

"If you're wrong to control your energy when you look around, you can be terrible!"

"Actually what was Chun Shengyi looking at behind, until she put on such an expression?"

Out of curiosity, the seven descendants then looked back together.

When they looked back, there they saw Chun Yang who was still holding on in a calm and relaxed manner.

Even for Chun Shengyi who had thirty years worth of manpower through medicine, could feel stung in his ears.
