"Psst!" As soon as the man in white spoke, a loud laughter suddenly erupted from the side, turning many faces red with the effort to suppress it.

  "Don't laugh!" The man in white swiftly reacted, bellowing at the crowd nearby. His face turned a shade of liver red, filled with gloom.

  The man in white's outburst did not stop the laughter around him. The trial participants in this spaceship's grand hall were not just from one or two cities; people here came from all over the country.

  Despite the man in white's arrogant and extravagant demeanor, not everyone was afraid of him. A majority of the people did not take him seriously.

  "I said, don't laugh, did you hear me! Whoever laughs again, I'll tear their mouth!" The man in white, enraged and embarrassed, scanned the crowd with a fierce killing intent in his eyes. As this killing intent surged, he also emitted a violent aura. This aura made most people show a hint of strangeness in their eyes before they shut their mouths.

  "Early stage of Earth Level! This person is an early-stage Earth Level martial artist!"

  "No wonder he's so arrogant, so he has such strength!"

  "With that level of strength, to be so arrogant, I wonder how he would not even know how he died later!"

  Feeling the man in white's aura, the trial participants whispered among themselves, some shocked by his aura, while others completely disregarded it. Regardless of their opinions, after laughing, they chose to remain silent. Better to avoid trouble!

  "No wonder it's the White Tiger Academy's recruitment trial, there are quite a few Earth Level martialists on this spaceship!" Xing Peng silently took note of the expressions around him, feeling somewhat surprised. After this incident, Xing Peng clearly noticed that many people were unaffected by the man in white's aura.

  After the man in white had quelled the laughter around him, he glared at Xing Peng with venom, "Kid, you dare to play me, I want you dead!" Saying this, he charged at Xing Peng like a beast choosing its prey, locking all his aura onto Xing Peng, ready to attack at any moment.

  "Grandson, save your energy. Although I didn't hear the rules announced by those messengers just now, I assume fighting is not allowed on this spaceship. All your blustering is useless!" Xing Peng shrugged indifferently, not taking the man in white's fierce look seriously at all.

  "Kid, just you wait. Once the trial officially starts, I will tear you apart!" The man in white's face twisted unnaturally with rage, grinding his teeth loudly, but he eventually loosened his aura and gave Xing Peng a fierce stare before walking away with suppressed anger. Anyone who could come here was certainly no fool. The man in white also understood the spaceship's unspoken rule against fighting.

  After the man in white left, Xing Peng pursed his lips and then nonchalantly turned his gaze to the other participants. These people might become his opponents soon, and Xing Peng needed to observe them.

  "Lei Shao, how do you rate the strength of that boy in blue?" In a corner on the right side of the grand hall, a yellow-shirted young man with a sharp look in his eyes asked the black-shirted young man sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a purple-red war saber on his lap.

  "Just one strike, I can kill him!" The intent to kill was clear in the black-shirted young man's eyes.

  "One strike! Really? Lei Shao, are you sure you can kill him with just one strike! Even I can't see through his strength!" The yellow-shirted young man was shocked, clearly disbelieving that the black-shirted man could kill Xing Peng in one move.

  "I said one strike, so it's one strike! Although I can't see through his strength either, people who don't understand the principle of 'the bird that sticks out gets shot' deserve to be raised by me!" Lei Shao curled his lip in disdain, then closed his eyes.

  "So that's it. Lei Shao, you really scared me there. I thought your strength had suddenly increased by a lot!" The yellow-shirted young man appeared to understand, smiled at Lei Shao, and then closed his eyes to rest as well.

  Although Xing Peng did not see Lei Shao and the yellow-shirted young man in the corner, their conversation still reached his ears.

  "The art of 'Heavenly Sight, Earthly Listen'!" This was a martial arts technique Xing Peng learned after emerging from Heavenly Extremity Peak. This technique significantly enhanced a martial artist's hearing, allowing Xing Peng's hearing to far exceed that of an ordinary person.

  "One strike to kill me! Hmph, such arrogance!" Xing Peng sneered inwardly, but his expression remained casual as he continued to scan the others, appearing not very bright.

  As Xing Peng moved around, he quickly memorized all the trial participants in the grand hall. Although he did not know their names, he still gathered many useful pieces of information about them through their murmurs as he moved.

  After paying attention to all the trial participants, Xing Peng did not return to the circle of people from Gu Mu City but found a new spot to lean against the wall and rest with his eyes closed.

  "I thought my cultivation speed was very fast, but I didn't expect there to be so many geniuses in this world! Among these trial participants, there are no less than ten who are Heaven Level martial artists. Damn, I really wonder how these people practice!"

  After observing, Xing Peng found that there were more than thirty thousand people in the grand hall. Although most were Human Level martial artists, there were quite a few at the Earth Level, and the number of Heaven Level martial artists was several times more than in previous trials.

  White Tiger Academy's trials had never lacked Heaven Level martial artists, but those who could reach Heaven Level by the age of twenty were few and far between. However, this time, there were no less than ten Heaven Level martial artists. This was definitely the trial with the most Heaven Level martial artists in recent years at White Tiger Academy, making Xing Peng feel the pressure.

  ...

  About half an hour later, a middle-aged man with red hair suddenly returned to the grand hall. When the trial participants saw the red-haired middle-aged man again, their hearts involuntarily trembled, "It's time! The trial is about to truly begin!"

  "My juniors, I think you all know why I'm here. You're right, I'm here to announce that the trial officially starts now. Remember what I just said, only the geniuses who survive are true geniuses. I hope you all can survive! Now, line up and follow me!" After saying this, the red-haired middle-aged man turned and walked out.

  The trial participants in the grand hall looked at each other with complex expressions, then followed a young man holding a long spear, who took the lead in following the red-haired middle-aged man. This young man was quite thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him over. He had purple spiky hair and wore a light blue swordsman's outfit, with a sickly look on his face.

  When Xing Peng saw this person being the first to follow the red-haired middle aged man, Xing Peng's heart stirred slightly! Despite the young man's seemingly unimpressive appearance and lack of obvious fighting strength, Xing Peng had clearly sensed that this young man was one of the top ten Heaven Level martial artists and definitely ranked among the top three among these trial participants.
