759: Chapter 757: Start the Breakthrough!
In the illusion of the first test, almost all Warriors were seeking the gateway of light after they entered.
Qin Beiao appeared above the gate of light, seeing that the words “Rank of Passage” were engraved on it.
First, Qin Beiao.
Qin Beiao glanced and scoffed disdainfully, “How could a low-level illusion from Miracle Ridge stop me?
I’ve been through illusions a hundred times more challenging at the Saint Seal Sect; this is nothing.”
“I actually entered the second round of illusions before Longqing Feng and took the first place.”
“Heh heh, Longqing Feng, I guess I’ve left you behind.”
“The crown prince of the Azure Dragon Empire, is just so-so!””
Qin Beiao sneered, stepped into the gate of light, and entered the second test.
Longqing Feng came to the gate of light and sighed, “Qin Beiao actually scored first, which bothers me a little.”
“Never mind, as long as the Warriors from Lingdong do not go before me.”
“The illusion of the first test indeed did waste some time, I might surpass Qin Beiao in the second test.”
Longqing Feng smiled faintly, entering the light gate.
Qi Yao, panting, said, “Damn it, it took all my strength to shatter these thunderbolts.
Thanks to last year’s experience, I indeed avoided many detours this year.”
“I’ve already used more than ten breaths, someone should be quicker than me.”
“I wonder if Master Lin will be the first one to break through.”
Qi Yao walked toward the glow above the Cloud Sky.
Above the gate, several names were engraved.
Passing quota: First, Qin Beiao.
Second, Longqing Feng.
Third, Fang Ji.
Fourth, He Qian.
Fifth, Yao Feng.
Sixth, Bai Xiaoxiao.
Seventh, Qi Yao…
Qi Yao looked at the rankings displayed on the gate, exclaimed in surprise: “I’m actually seventh!
Damn it, I assumed that breaking through in ten breaths would at least put me in the top three.”
“I actually ended up in seventh!”
“Master Lin is still behind me?
How is this possible!”
Qi Yao did not see Lin Bai’s name and was somewhat puzzled.
Then Qi Yao said, “Where did this Qin Beiao and Longqing Feng come from, they passed the first round of illusions so quickly!”
“No, I need to speed up!
I came through these illusions last year, I should be much more familiar with them than they are, how could I be ranked seventh!”
Qi Yao’s eyes revealed his fighting spirit and he stepped into the second illusion.
Fang Ji stood in front of the light gate in silence, “I originally thought that Lin Bai would be the first one, but I didn’t expect Qin Beiao and Longqing Feng to occupy the top two, and I’m the third?”
“I’m the third?”
“Unacceptable!”
Fang Ji’s complexion was murderous, his eyes released a monstrous ferocity as he stepped into the light gate.
“Damn it, how am I fourth!
How am I possibly fourth!
I used only five breaths to break through the first round, and yet, I’m the fourth!” said He Qian, his fists clenched, fire sprouting from his eyes, furious.
“Someone broke through faster than me!”
Then He Qian glanced down but did not see Lin Bai’s name, and sneered: “Humph, Lin Bai is still behind me.
Lin Bai, I’ve said, someday, everything I lost, I will take back in person!”
“Today, I’ll trample over you in the assessments of Miracle Ridge!”
He Qian declared resolutely.
To this day, He Qian still held a grudge against Lin Bai for taking away his titles as Tianding City’s number one genius and top Sword Cultivator.
But what he didn’t know was that Lin Bai didn’t care about those titles at all.
Bai Xiaoxiao paused: “Lin Bai didn’t make the ranking list?
Could he have encountered a problem?”
“Who are these two, Longqing Feng and Qin Beiao?”
Bai Xiaoxiao was somewhat worried about Lin Bai’s status.
…
Inside the illusion of the first round.
Lin Bai stopped running and stood in the Mountain Range, looking up at the Divine Thunder continually spreading over him from the clouds.
Rumbling——
Thunder reverberated through the earth and sky.
All of a sudden, from above the azure sky, a divine thunderbolt splintered the atmosphere, tearing the sky asunder to strike directly at Lin Bai.
“Shatter for me!
Lin Bai had already discovered the secrets of the first test in this illusion and immediately stopped retreating.
Just as Thunderbolt was about to strike.
Lin Bai brandished his Sword One, and a heaven-reaching, earth-piercing Sword Aura from Qingge Sword penetrated the sky, shattering the descending Divine Thunder.
It then shot into the Cloud Sky, its Sword Qi slashing through, killing all of the thunder clouds in the sky hanging above!
A layer of heavy black thunder clouds were obliterated by Lin Bai’s single sword stroke!
The thunder clouds dispersed, turning into nothingness and a grand light gate appeared amid the thunder mist.
“As I suspected, this light gate was really within the thunder mist.”
A pleased expression crossed Lin Bai’s face as he blurred and dashed towards the location of the light gate.
Arriving in front of the gate.
A few names appeared on the light gate that piqued Lin Bai’s curiosity!
“Qin Beiao is first, Longqing Feng is second, I can’t believe Fang Ji is third!”
“Hua Yuxian is actually here, and she’s in the eighth place!”
Lin Bai was especially surprised.
Hua Yuxian, Lin Bai just had some faint recollections.
He had encountered Hua Yuxian at the Sword Discourse Conference at the Famous Sword Manor.
At that time, Hua Yuxian wanted to save him, but Lin Bai didn’t need her help.
But what Lin Bai didn’t know was that Hua Yuxian’s background was far more complex than he had imagined.
“I spent so much time in the first round and ended up in ninth place!”
“Not bad though.”
“But now that I have the experience of the first round, I don’t think I’ll waste much time in the second round!”
“This ninth place, probably isn’t quite fitting for me.”
Lin Bai gave a slight smile, even though he had yet to face the Giant God’s Intent, he still felt a bit of excitement for these rankings.
As a Warrior, being naturally competitive!
How could a grown man stay behind others for long?
Entering the light gate, he stepped into the second round.
…
Outside the Ascension Tower, Lin Bai’s figure appeared on the ninth projection stone wall.
“The first on the Potential List, Lin Bai, finally appeared.”
“He just made it onto the ninth stone stele.”
“Sigh, the Potential List’s first is so wretched, being only in ninth place!”
“That’s right, if anyone else charges up in the second round, Lin Bai could very well be pushed off.”
Many warriors looked at Lin Bai on the ninth stone stele, their faces showing a hint of worry.
Seeing Lin Bai, Liujing Feng let out a cold snort, his gaze overflowing with murderous intent, “As long as you don’t join the Miracle Ridge, killing you would be as easy as turning over a palm!”
Pei Ji looked at Lin Bai, a sliver of pity appeared in his eyes, “This man is a Sword Cultivator, although his position on the Potential List is extremely high, to antagonize Fist Daoist Courtyard for his sake, I fear it’s not very wise!”
“Besides, the dean of Fist Daoist Courtyard is a known lunatic, who knows what shocking action he will take!”
“Sigh, what a waste of a Sword Cultivator.”
Pei Ji said helplessly.
At this moment.
Lin Bai entered the second round.
This place was a ghostly, smoky world of lava.
On the ground, pieces of scorched earth cracked open, revealing boiling, bubbling lava within.
The sky was gray and oppressive, filling the warriors with awe.
“The second round now, let’s get straight to the challenge.”
“In the first round, the location of the gate was within the Heavenly Thunder.”
“Then the gate of the second round, must definitely be beneath this lava!”
Lin Bai’s face hardened, Qingge Sword shook, a Sword Qi that could annihilate everything, furiously cleaved at the ground.
“Let the challenge begin!”
