Chapter 133 Beginning of the Trial
That sphere of light was only a foot thick . On the outside, it looked like it was formed from countless strands of thread .
But those werent threads, but countless, thin wind blades . It was as if countless blades had been compressed into a ball .
Furthermore, within that sphere was a red liquid incessantly circulating . It was extremely odd .
That sphere shot out completely straight . All the withered leaves and branches it passed by immediately turned to ashes .
As it whistled over, the terrifying gales coming from it carved a long scar into the ground .
Even Long Chen was shocked . Although Little Snow had told Long Chen he had his own special moves now, this was the first time he had seen one .
This Qi Xin, he better block it head-on . If he dodges, Ill really be screwed over, Long Chen incessantly prayed inside .
Qi Xin turned pale from fright in the face of this attack . He almost choked, sensing it was a grave threat to him .
Skywater protecting the body! Qi Xin shouted and his spiritual qi circulating . That ball of water surrounding him changed . Strange lines spread across it, turning it into a veined pearl .
BOOM! Qi Xin had only just managed to set that up when Little Snows attack struck him . His attack was just like a meteorite striking the ball of water .
Heaven and earth lost all color . Time seemed to slow down . Everyone felt as if the world was no longer as real as before .
Suddenly some people let out startled cries and quickly jumped back . That was because the land had instead become a tide of water that was rapidly spreading .
Those who were closer were directly swallowed by a wave of mud, coughing up blood as they were pushed further away .
For a moment, everyone was fleeing for their lives . Within an area of over a mile, there was no longer anyone else present .
That region had been flattened dozens of meters . At the center of the depressed circle was a deep crater . On one side was Long Chen atop Little Snow, looking at Qi Xin .
The current Qi Xins hair was a mess and his clothes had also been torn . Even his aura was slightly chaotic . Obviously blocking that attack had cost a great deal of energy .
Although he might look down on Qi Xins personality, Long Chen had no choice but to admit that Qi Xin truly was too strong .
That attack of Little Snows had contained a merger of both wind and flame . The explosive power that resulted from that merger could destroy mountains . Just from looking at the completely destroyed region around them it was possible to see just how powerful it had been .
But such a powerful blow had been blocked by Qi Xin . Furthermore, he wasnt even injured . That kind of strength was too shocking .
How is it? Do you want to keep putting on a show? asked Long Chen .
You hmph, if it werent for your Magical Beast protecting you, I could kill you with a single slap, raged Qi Xin .
Although he said, Qi Xin was actually filled with horror . He had never expected that white wolf to have such a powerful attack .
So what? Didnt I just say that a Magical Beast was also a part of persons strength? By putting it like this, are you saying youre not even as good as Magical Beast?
Hmph, with such a powerful Magical Beast, youre clearly just relying on your familys power . Only a spoiled brat would shot off like this, sneered Qi Xin .
You can show off too . Come, bring out your Magical Beast and show everyone, shrugged Long Chen .
Qi Xins face darkened as his steed was just a second rank Magical Beast .
It was true that his family did possess third rank Magical Beasts, but they were precious military powers that couldnt be easily moved out . Furthermore, those Magical Beasts werent flying ones, and so it wouldnt have been convenient to bring them on this journey .
If he really did bring out his Magical Beast now, it would be swatted to death in a single blow by Long Chens Snow Wolf . Although he was born in a large clan, even just a second rank Magical Beast was extremely valuable . He couldnt let it die for nothing, and so he was mute in response to Long Chens provocation .
Long Chens meaning was obvious . Even if he himself was weak, with the pressure from such a steed, who would dare easily attack him?
That truly infuriated Qi Xin . Although his combat ability was high, his actual realm was low . That was because he had to keep himself suppressed at the peak of Blood Condensation . If he entered the Muscle Rebirth realm, he definitely wouldnt fear Long Chens Scarlet Flame Snow Wolf .
The atmosphere was now extremely awkward . Qi Xin wanted to attack but he also was intimidated . Little Snow was a Magical Beast, and so it was extremely likely it was capable of using such a powerful attack again .
But Qi Xin didnt dare take such an attack again . Even if he was more arrogant, he wouldnt want to continuously receive such blows . That wouldnt be prideful; itd be just asking for death .
But for him to retreat, that would be a great blow to his fame . How would he face those who relied on him?
If it was to Lei Qianshang or Tang Wan-er then it would have been fine . They were experts on the same level, so it wouldnt cause him to lose any face .
But if he were to continue losing in front of this nameless youth, that would definitely be too embarrassing for him . In this current situation, he couldnt retreat, yet he also couldnt continue . Thus, Qi Xin was in an impossible position .
Deep in the forest, Tang Wan-er was watching . In her eyes, Long Chen was acting like a spoiled brat, but she smiled .
This scoundrel does possess some ability to force Qi Xin into such a plight . Hmph, as for your debt for offending me, well have to settle that slowly .
For some unknown reason, watching Long Chen gave her a kind of unknown excitement . Perhaps life in the Xuantian Monastery would not be as dry and dull as she had thought it would be .
Dong!
Just at this moment, a loud, melodious bell rang out in everyones ears, causing everyone to become excited .
The trials begun! Lets hurry over!
No one cared any longer about Long Chen and Qi Xins battle . They all hurried towards the end of the valley .
Qi Xin was relieved to hear that bell . Coldly glancing at Long Chen, he said, Ill remember you . Ill definitely give you some extra care in the monastery .
After saying, he didnt give even give Long Chen a chance to reply before rushing over with the crowd . Those people who were originally waiting with him also followed behind him .
Even at this time, he still didnt forget to act bravely . Long Chen shook his head . Jumping atop Little Snow, he gently rubbed Little Snows head . Its all thanks to you . Otherwise the person to lose face would very likely be me .
Wuwu Little Snow rubbed Long Chen with his huge head .
Hehe, ok, I know you still have more special moves . But we cant kill anyone here . You have to restrain yourself a bit, he gently comforted Little Snow .
At this time Guo Ran had already hobbled over to Long Chens side . Long Chen lightly said, Dont act like youre so in need of pity .
Guo Ran laughed mischievously and gave him a thumbs-up . Boss, you really are something! Even someone like Qi Xin was helpless to deal with you!
Sigh, that was only because of Little Snow . Lets hurry up and get to the trial . Long Chen and Guo Ran followed the flow of people .
Exiting the valley, they arrived at a wide, open space . There were tens of thousands of registrants who had already arrived .
Each person also had a Magical Beast obediently lying down behind them . With interweaving humans and huge Magical Beasts over this open land, it was an extremely spectacular sight .
At the front was a huge gate three hundred meters high . It was extremely magnificent and exuded an ancient air .
Atop the gate were the following bold and ancient characters: Xuantian Monastery . The words were written in a bright gold .
It appeared that this grand gate was the entrance to the Xuantian Monastery . But Long Chen couldnt see just where that loud bell sound had come from .
Suddenly that huge gate began to slowly open . A large entrance tens of meters high opened up like a huge beasts mouth .
When that gate opened, an extremely dense spiritual qi poured over .
Amazing! Long Chen thought to himself . This gate should be able to keep spiritual qi on the inside . Then that means this huge gate must be part of some grand formation .
No wonder all these people would work to join the Xuantian Monastery at all costs! Just this kind of dense spiritual qi is enough to allow their cultivation speeds to multiply .
Following the opening of the huge gate, a group of people walked out . They appeared to be in their twenties . They were all indifferently looking over these registrants .
The person at the front was wearing black robes . This serious mans gaze roved around, giving a sense that he was extremely capable and experienced .
After looking over this large group, he said, First let me introduce myself . I am the attendant in charge of welcoming you all and am also in charge of the trial to enter the monastery .
There is also another status I have . All of us are your senior apprentice-brothers . In other words, we are all registrants who came last time .
Three years ago, we were just like you . We also stood there as the previous generation welcomed us .
Many people were surprised that the people to welcome them would be the previous generations disciples .
But Guo Ran was completely calm . He had clearly already known about this . Once the crowd quietened down, that person continued .
Three years ago we were the same as you, filled with dreams and expectations . But now I will pour some ice water over your fires . This place is not at all the same as what you imagine .
This place is extremely cruel . It wont be at all the same as your days in your families . This place is a hell, and so if you want to retreat, there is still a chance now .
Hearing those grim words, a bad feeling immediately arose in everyones hearts .
Excuse me, but amongst the previous generation of senior apprentice-brothers, are you few the only ones who remain? said one brave registrant .
Yes . All the more powerful ones have already left, leaving behind only us . That is because in our generation, we can only pad the bottom .
Tch, so its just cannon fodder people . Whyd they have to act so grand? Some people quietly gave those people an evaluation . The reverence that they had had all mostly faded away .
That person smiled slightly and didnt react at all to that, seeming to have expected it . Sweeping his gaze over everyone, he nodded . The time has arrived . Take out your registration cards . Well be going over everyone one by one .
Everyone hastily took out their registration cards . That group of twenty-something men split up to examine them .
Suddenly one person pointed at a registrant . Whered you get your registration card?
That person panicked slightly, but he immediately hid that up and icily said, It was given to me by your monastery . Do you not even recognize it?
This registration card isnt yours . Although youve changed your appearance, you cant trick me . Youre someone who killed for someone elses registration card .
That persons face immediately blanched . Without even thinking about, he punched out at that person . But that fist was just a fake as he had already retreated, trying to flee .
As for the man who had found him out, he smiled ridiculing and slowly raised his hand . That fleeing registrant was immediately horrified to realize he wouldnt move any more . Most strangely of all was that his body began to float into mid-air . He wildly struggled and shouted, but he was unable to escape from that strange force .
Die .
Blood rained down as that late Blood Condensation expert exploded in mid-air just like that .
