C122 The Trial Palace(1)
The senior general, Yuhao, who was unconscious, sat down with his legs crossed and placed his right hand on Yuhao's back. A massive amount of true essence rushed into Yuhao's body. After a while... Yuhao opened his eyes and woke up. The elder retracted his true essence and palm, muttering, "What a powerful Strange Fire Seed! It can even swallow my true essence and turn it into its own! An extreme genius! An extreme genius!"
"To Yun Fei and Niu Ben, the Stairway to Heaven was not challenging at all. They only meditated for a moment before returning to their peak state.
"Alright, whichever of you is ready, you can enter the 'Trial Palace' for the test. The Trial Palace will test your combat ability. The more opponents you defeat inside, the more opponents you defeat. The longer you persist, the higher your result will be. Of course, the strength of your opponent depends on your cultivation level. Right, you can use your own weapon, as long as it's not a magic treasure." The guarding elder said.
Niu Ben rubbed his fists and rubbed his palms together. He held the Desolate Fire Iron stick and said to Yun Fei, "Boss, I'll go first, alright?" Before Yun Fei could reply, the guarding elder's eyes flashed. He made a grabbing motion with his hand and Niu Ben's iron stick was instantly caught in his hand. "This is the Desolate Fire Iron Tree? You use the Desolate Fire Ironwood as a weapon?"
Niu Ben's stick was snatched away in an instant. He was already angry. He said unhappily, "Boss gave this to me. Is a broken stick worth making such a fuss about?" Niu Ben did not think that Desolate Fire Ironwood's stick was very powerful. Boss said that he had more. He even conveniently gave Yi Qingchen a Desolate Fire Ironwood tree.
The guarding elder could not help but smile bitterly. He thought to himself, "This is a broken stick. This thing only exists in the depths of the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range. Almost no one dared to go into the depths of the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range. I've been searching for it for several years. I didn't expect you to have such a big stick. "
Yun Fei saw the desire in the eyes of the guarding elder and knew that he also wanted this Desolate Fire Black Wood. He hurriedly said, "Senior, this is something I picked up when I was training. If senior needs it, I can give it to you."
He picked it up casually. The guarding elder couldn't help but feel speechless. However, when he heard that Yun Fei wanted to give him some, he immediately revealed a joyful expression, "Alright, alright. You guys can go through the trial first. We'll talk about it later. Don't worry, this old man won't take your things for free."
With a wave of his hand, the gate of the smelting trial palace opened. The elder also gave each of them a Talisman. "Although the opponent inside is a virtual formation, it's a real energy body. If they were hit, they would also be injured. If they hit a vital point, they might even die. Remember, if there is any danger, activate the Talisman. "
Niu Ben took the Talisman and said, "Boss, I will go in first." Yunfei nodded, "Be careful." Niu Ben walked into the Smelting Trial Palace, and the gate of the Smelting Trial Palace suddenly closed.
The training palace was a part of Blackheaven Sect's trial in the Heavenly Pass. It was also a place where many inner sect disciples below the peak of the Martial Grand Master could train. As the cost of opening it was expensive, the cost would naturally be paid by the participant himself. Furthermore, the number of times each person participated in the trial was limited.
Perhaps some disciples had made great contributions to the sect, and the sect would reward them by allowing them to enter the trial by fire.
When they saw Niu Ben enter, the surrounding disciples of the Blackheaven Sect started discussing amongst themselves.
"Senior disciple Lan, how many levels do you think this big black guy can pass?" Yali asked Lan Zhongbai.
"I don't know either. Niu Ben's combat strength is super strong. He should be able to pass the 30th or 40th level." Lan Zhongbai wasn't confident, but he was definitely much stronger than her.
"He's so strong. I remember that senior disciple Tan Yuelan has only reached the 27th floor." Yali said, "Where's that young man called Yun Fei?"
"Actually, the Trial Palace tests one's combat ability that surpasses one's level. Niu Ben, a late stage Great Warrior, can defeat me, a peak Great Martial Master. Naturally, he has passed more levels than me. As for that Yun Fei... It can only be said that he's unfathomable. " Lan Zhongbai laughed self-deprecatingly and shook his head.
Above the entrance of the smelting trial palace was the number of levels of the smelting trial. After Niu Ben went in, in a breath's time, "0" became "1.
The Blackheaven Sect disciples who were watching outside the square were shocked.
"So fast? "
"With the same cultivation base, he can instantly kill them."
Before he could finish his sentence, "1" turned into "2; the second level was passed! Then 3, 4,...
In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the number was displayed to "10." The speed of the change in numbers also became somewhat slow, but the numbers were still steadily changing.
In an hour, the numbers stopped at "49." The gate of the smelting trial palace opened. Many parts of his clothes were torn, and some parts of his body were still bleeding. Niu Ben, who was dragging the Desolate Fire Iron stick, walked out of the gate step by step.
Ni Hongyun had been observing the situation of Yun Fei and the other two from outside the arena, and was once again shocked by the results of the three people's battle. Yun Fei was still fine, but he was a monstrous genius to begin with. That Niu Ben was no longer considered a genius, so how did he become so powerful now?
He had also passed the trial palace, and had only reached the thirty-seventh level. There was also that young man called Yuhao, a Great Martial Master of such a young age. Let alone seeing it, he had never even heard of it. Furthermore, his combat strength was extremely strong and his will was firm. It was vividly displayed in Puppet Road and Skysplit Tower.
However, this Niu Ling could make Hu Lang feel stifled for a while. When he thought of this, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, "This Hu Lang is really detestable. If I hadn't cultivated a better mental cultivation method... With that Heart Cleansing Art, he would definitely have been forced to go into deviatory psychosis. Right, find a chance to let Niu Ben give him a hard blow. "
" This guy is really fierce. He managed to reach the forty-ninth level in his first trial. He's really amazing. "
"That's right! The number one genius of the sect, Huang Yifan, was only at the 61st level in his first trial by fire!"
"That's right! An hour of intense fighting isn't easy either! This guy's stamina is really good!"
"How can it not be good? He was crazily running on the Stairway to Heaven, and he was even jumping on more than five thousand layers of frog jumps. This fellow is just a human-shaped Demon Beast. "
While the disciples of Blackheaven Sect were discussing outside, Niu Ling was sitting cross-legged and recovering from his cultivation. Under Yun Fei's repeated instructions, Yuhao confidently walked into the Training Palace.
Because Yuhao had only learned the Taiji Fist taught by Yun Fei, he had never practiced any other combat skills or weapons. He only relied on two fists, but the power of his fists that were covered with fire true essence was not inferior to any other weapon.
Fire element cultivators' combat strength was much stronger than ordinary cultivators'. Moreover, with the early stage of the Great Martial Master, they were able to fight with a higher cultivation level. Compared to late stage Great Martial Masters, they were still able to gain some advantages.
This was because the higher one's level was, the greater the gap between them. As for Yuhao, who was able to pass the Puppet Road and the Skysplit Tower with just an early stage Martial Grand Master, the Blackheaven Sect disciples outside the arena admired him. At the same time, they were also very optimistic about him. Therefore, when Yuhao entered the smelting trial palace, everyone applauded and cheered for him!
Two hours later, the number on the gate of the smelting trial palace changed to 56, but the number remained unchanged for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
"Could there be a problem? It's been so long since I've been on the 56th floor."
"It can't be that I'm too late to activate the Talisman, right?"
"It would be such a pity if something happened to such a peerless genius in the Smelting Trial Palace."
