Novel Bin Chapter 78 Flying Colors
The bald man was surprisingly the outlier. After him, one by one, people unleashed their strongest attacks, and not even a small scratch was made on the rock. It was truly astonishing. The trial of strength really did take away too many of the participants.
Another person stepped up.
"It is senior brother Riyal!" someone shouted. Immediately, everyone looked at the person who just raised his sword at the rock. It was just a normal sword. There was nothing special about the sword. In fact, it seemed that there was no Qi used here as well. He was attempting to make an attack without using any Qi!
Common sense would dictate that he was a mad man. But the only thing I felt from this man was a terrifying oppression. He was strong! This attack that he was about to unleash was powerful enough to kill me if I took it head on.
"Stop. You pass. We want to keep using this rock for later. You do not need to go through any of the trials. You can directly enter the sect. The first elder will be waiting for you." the young man held this Senior brother\'s hand and stopped him from attacking.
"That\'s a shame. I always wanted to see Senior Brother Riyal\'s sword strikes. He is a master of the sword dao. He is definitely the strongest of the participants here, that is for sure." one of the participants chuckled.
"The sword dao? It must be a mysterious force that I haven\'t touched yet. I need to understand what all of this is. But all of that is later. How the hell is no one surprised that this man was just accepted into the sect without any further trials? Well, that is better for me. I do not want to compete with a monster like that." I thought to myself.
Unfortunately, this man was too far away for me to check his status. I really wanted to see how powerful he was, but it seemed that I was just unlucky. Maybe, after I got in, I could see who he was, and what made him so strong.
I stretched my arms and headed on to the line. Seeing that they started the trial a whole three days ahead of schedule, it was clearly going to take a while for everyone to complete their turn. I wanted to finish mine early so that I could go take a rest. One night in the Black Swamp Forest was enough to exhaust the hell out of me.
Some of the people gave extraordinary performances, while most of them could do nothing at all. I did not see Du Xiangling anywhere, so he might not have arrived yet.
"I hope he didn\'t die. He seems like a good lad. He shouldn\'t be dead with just a forest. I hope I\'ll be seeing more of him later." I thought to myself as I stepped forward again. The line was moving forward at an astonishing pace. One by one, the ones that passed the test moved forward, while those that failed went back. The young man was too lazy to care if those who failed were reattempting the trial. It was as if he was taunting them to try this again.
"Next" the young man said. It was my turn. I took a deep breath, and my spear appeared in my hands. I could not afford to go back and try this all over again. I needed to finish this in one try.
"Blue Dragon Spear Art! Fourth Form! Blue Dragon Sails through the Heavens!" I shouted as I raised my spear and shot it towards the rock. The spear cried out like a dragon, and it went towards it, as if it was going to pierce it.
Boom!
The spear collided with the rock, and it stopped immediately. I took back the spear, and looked at where it struck with a little nervousness. Many people who were ahead of me failed, and this was not even my strongest attack.
"Don\'t worry. You pass. That was a pretty good attack there. What is your name, Junior Brother? You interest me." the young man said.
"I am Liu Feng, senior brother. Thank you for your praise." I nodded and bowed slightly.
"Yeah, you can call me Senior brother Yurin. I think that you should be able to go through all of the trials with ease. The Liu surname, huh? How many years has it been since a Liu has entered the sect. Go inside then. It will be interesting. I see a lot of promising kids this year." Senior brother Yurin said.
"He is strong. Even his cultivation is not shown to me. Damn it, how are these levels so high?" I cursed inside.
All the participants looked at me with jealousy. This man rarely spoke, and for him to give this praise, it meant that I could have an easier time inside.
I walked through the bridge so that I could go through to the next stage. There were other people here, and they were talking to each other calmly. Every single one of these people were probably from the subsidiary sects. The only reason that I was able to come this fast was that I had a Spirit Compass, which I stole from Hu Jin. It was a little depressing to be the only one alone here, but I had to pay the price for being a young master from a city far away.
I kept walking, and walking, but one thing that this bridge seemed to excel at was to not show where I was going. The sides were as clear as glass, but for some reason, the front was completely foggy. I could not see where I was, and it was a little scary. This could be another of the trials, and they just didn\'t tell me about it.
