[Mass Release is here! I worked so hard to get this together, and I really hope that you guys enjoy this. Consider gifting to show your support, and encourage me to do this again in the future.]

After a minute, sweat beads formed on every one of our eyes. I knew that only a minute passed by, but it felt like a whole hour. It was like a tonne of force weighing down upon me, and I could nothing about it.

I glanced at the others, and they were in the same position. That relieved me. Atleast, I was not the worst off. I circulated more and more Qi, but then found the biggest problem of all. My Qi was getting drained rapidly for trying to resist this pressure. Very soon, if I couldn't do anything, I would lose all of my Qi reserves.

As the only one in the second stage in the Foundation Establishment stage here, I was at the disadvantage in this one regard. And I had to make sure to change something to ensure that I had enough Qi.

"I can use the Heaven Devouring Art! I can try to resist this with the Heaven Devouring art! At its most common form, it can even be used as a defensive art! I can actually try that!" I realized.

Although moving in this pressure was hard, and took more energy than normal, I had to make this simple investment. I started performing the first cycle of the Heaven Devouring Art, and slowly, I could feel that the pressure was getting a little easier to bear. Some of the Qi also entered my dantian. I was finally getting in more Qi than I was consuming.

"Interesting." I heard Li Tian say, and his mouth curl up to a smile. With this, I knew that something bad was going to happen. I immediately stopped the cycle I was in, and looked at him with apprehension.

Boom!

Like a piano fell on me, I felt the pressure on me almost double.

Aaargh!

One of the girls beside me suddenly cried out. I could tell that she was eliminated, but I did not even have enough power to turn aside to see who it was. The pressure froze me in place, and if I was going to make even a little movement, then I felt that I would be crushed beneath this enormous pressure.

"I give up!" one of the men shouted out as well. This was the point of time where there would be a few disqualifications. This was going to be an important period. Although I had no need for this new weapon, I could always sell it and use the money for something else.

One by one, a total of six people gave up! It was surprising. I was already in the top four. I just had to wait it out, and I would be dolling it out for the last two.

I could only see Li Tian right now, but I knew that he was up to something. He was oddly focusing on me. It was like he had something he wanted to test out. He snapped his fingers again, and a I felt another pressure mount on top of me.

I coughed out blood because of the sudden increase in pressure. I was down to my knees right now, and they were already creating an imprint on the floor. I was being forced onto the ground.

"I give up!" the second last girl said. I knew that voice. It had to be Li Huan. Now, only Cai Lien, me and someone else remained. I had no idea who it was, but he sure was strong. By my estimations looking at the different matches, I had to guess that it was Hao Shu. He had a very interesting fighting style, and it was a little different from the others who were all a part of the same sect.

"This is taking even more time. I thought that all of you would be done by now. It looks like you are trying to give me a competition. Looks like I have to increase the pressure." Li Tian said.

My face changed. He was about to increase the pressure. It was my final chance to do this, and the next moment, I would be destroyed.

I raised my arms crossed with each other, shaped like a spear.

"Ethereal Weapon Arts! Shield!" I muttered. At the exact time that another round of pressure mounted on me, I could feel a small barrier appear in front of me. I could even see it. And so could the others looking from outside.

"What is happening here? Do you really think that you can hold this paltry defence against me?" Li Tian looked like he was going to attack me.

The defense that I put up was by no means a permanent one. There were so many problems with it. First of all, I was using my hands instead of a shield. They started aching, and I could feel that they were almost about to give away.

My dantian was also almost depleted. The defense was spread thin, and I could see cracks forming. It was only a matter of time before I would be crushed underneath the pressure.

"I give up!" another finally threw the towel. Li Tian hesitated for a second, and snapped his fingers again. This time, the pressure was withdrawn. I fell on the ground, panting. The pressure was too much for me to handle. All of my Qi was almost depleted. I barely hung on, and I would have lost if it extended for even a little more time. But Cai Lien was still in the battle. So why did the sect master stop the test?

I looked at Cai Lien. She was also panting, but she was clearly not as beaten up as I got. I looked at Li Tian with confusion.

"The results are clearly obvious. The two of you are waiting to see who is going to the Inner Sect. Well, the answer is quite clear, isn't it? It is going to be Cai Lien who will enter the Inner Sect as an Inner disciple." Li Tian said.
