Chapter 425: Let's compete!
his竅穴opened suddenly. It truly reached the level of silently nurturing and transforming things without anyone noticing.For instance, Zhao Jiayin and others would likely not have the patience to watch...Chapter 425: Clash!
In full view of everyone, Su Han entered the arena and walked to Hao Ren's side.
The three-clawed golden dragon on her silver robe indicated her status as a Level Three Examiner.
The scene from yesterday where she confronted the chief examiner and forced him into submission was still fresh in everyone's memory.
"This Jinyin cultivator is her assistant examiner..."
"She's such a stunning beauty... Ah..." The crowd of cultivators by the side of the arena started buzzing with chatter when Su Han suddenly appeared.
From his seat on the stands, Qin Shaoyang finally stood up. "Su Han! This is the Dragon God Temple's martial arts exam; what are you trying to do"
The sudden appearance of West Sea Dragon Palace had already made him lose face, and Su Han entering the arena without his permission as chief examiner was a direct challenge to his authority!
Su Han ignored him completely. Instead, she grabbed Hao Ren's arm; a surge of spiritual energy passed through Hao Ren’s body, then "a series of circular rings" popped out from Hao Ren’s head.
Five circular rings emitted five different kinds of light—gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
"The Five... Five Sacred Mountains Bracelet" An elder from a sect exclaimed in surprise.
"It's the Five Sacred Mountains Bracelet! This is what examiners use to limit the strength of cultivators! " The discussion about Su Han quickly turned into discussion about the Five Sacred Mountains Bracelets.
Younger, lower-ranked cultivators might not know what the Five Sacred Mountains Bracelets were, but elders like them knew that it was an extremely powerful magic treasure used to comprehensively restrict a cultivator's spiritual energy!
In other words, this Level Gen cultivator had been participating in round after round of martial arts exams while wearing these bracelets
Thinking about this, the elders from various factions all wore shocked expressions.
Even Qin Shaoyang on the stands was somewhat stunned; his six deputy examiners also looked at each other. The Dragon God Temple’s martial arts exams were supposed to be where every cultivator would try their best to demonstrate 120% of their abilities, but there were actually participants wearing Five Sacred Mountains Bracelets
Standing opposite Hao Ren, Zhao Kuo was also somewhat surprised; he was very clear about what the Five Sacred Mountains Bracelets were.
He thought Hao Ren’s strength was only this much, but now he found out that Hao Ren had managed to reach such a ranking under severe restrictions!
"My assistant examiner made some mistakes and I punished him by making him wear a set of Five Sacred Mountains Bracelets. Is there any problem with this" Su Han looked up at the seven examiners on the stands and asked loudly.
The six deputy examiners shook their heads連連搖頭 in unison, while Qin Shaoyang fell silent, his face turning grim.
It was perfectly normal for a formal examiner to punish their assistant examiner. Although Five Sacred Mountains Bracelets were generally used to restrain wanted criminals of the Dragon God Temple, they hadn’t said it couldn't be used on assistant examiners; Su Han using them to limit her assistant examiner wasn't really an issue in principle.
Moreover, from Su Han's performance yesterday, it was clear that he wasn't punishing his assistant examiner but rather protecting him!
After Hua Ren removed the Five Great Mountains Bracelet, he felt an immediate sense of relief. The 60% of power previously restricted suddenly recovered.
The array formation which would seal off once every second no longer existed as well. Hua Ren's Spiritual Energy flow was now much smoother!
Su Han, holding the Five Great Mountains Bracelet, returned lightly to the sidelines.
Choosing to remove the Five Great Mountains Bracelet at this moment was because Su Han felt that Hua Ren could put forth all his strength and give it a try!
The Five Great Mountains Bracelet restricted Spiritual Energy output but also had protective functions. Hua Ren's set of Five Great Mountains Bracelets not only greatly restricted the output of Spiritual Energy, but also severely limited its input.
Therefore, if Hua Ren encountered a powerful enemy, the Five Great Mountains Bracelet would provide substantial protection, preventing his vital meridians from being shattered by the opponent's Spiritual Energy. This was why Su Han didn't want to remove the Five Great Mountains Bracelet for Hua Ren!
At this moment outside the arena, Wang Xi had his eyes wide open.
After losing yesterday's match, he hadn't left the Dragon God Temple but instead stayed overnight in its outer city, wanting to see how慘敗的局麵。how terrible the defeat would be for Hua Ren today.
Seeing Su Han remove the Five Great Mountains Bracelet from Hua Ren now made him dumbfounded. Hua Ren hadn't put all his strength into the fight with him!
Similarly, Lu Qi outside the arena was also shocked to see this scene. He felt that he was just one step away from winning against Hua Ren but never imagined that Hua Ren's rank far surpassed his Exchange Rank.
Hua Ren, after removing the Five Great Mountains Bracelet, waved his arms and bowed again towards Zhao Kuo, "Uncle Three, please teach me!"
"Humph!" Zhao Kuo grunted. "If you surrender now, I'll let you off."
Hua Ren looked at Zhao Kuo calmly, "Uncle Three, if you have the guts, fight me to your heart's content."
Upon hearing Hua Ren's words, Zhao Kuo's eyes widened.
Pang...
Hua Ren suddenly released his aura.
The broken stones in the arena blew outward around him.
After two rounds of fierce battles, only eight small arenas remained out of twenty-four. Hua Ren and Zhao Kuo's large arena was also severely damaged.
According to the martial trials rules, stepping out of the arena meant losing. With sixteen small arenas already destroyed, this match between Hua Ren and Zhao Kuo had even fewer places to land on, making it more difficult.
If Hua Ren and Zhao Kuo were both knocked out of the arena, they would lose their qualifications to continue in the martial trials.
This is probably what Qin Shaoyang wanted to see as the best outcome.
"Since that's the case... Don't expect me to go easy on you!" Zhao Kuo glared at Hao Ren, and 720 beams of light shot out from his arms.
"Great!" Hao Ren shouted back, releasing 320 beams of light from his back.
One seemed like a thousand-armed arhat, the other like a peacock spreading its tail feathers. Hundreds of beams of light rose into the sky from each side, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle.
The previously obscure "Five-Colored Light Splitting Technique" would likely now become widely renowned!
This set of martial art techniques had already been hidden away by Zhao Guang in the topmost level of the Divine Art Hall, becoming the highest secret manual within the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace. The only people who practiced this technique were Zhao Guang and Hao Ren!
Standing at the edge of the arena, Xie Yujia looked towards the distance. The defeated Wood Attribute cultivator lay motionless in a circle formed by his sect's elders. Despite their best efforts to aid him, the elders could only helplessly shake their heads.
A female Wood Attribute cultivator held a Zun-rank practitioner and wept uncontrollably.
However, most of the other cultivators were focused solely on Hao Ren and Zhao Kuo who were about to fight.
In this world of winners and losers... these defeated individuals would no longer receive any attention.
"Sigh..." Xie Yujia felt a pang in her heart. She took out what appeared to be a small red box for holding rings, placed it next to Little White's mouth, and then said to the white bird, "Take this over there."
Little White blinked its black eyes, understanding Xie Yujia’s meaning. It unloaded Zhen Ciming from its back and flew towards the Wood Attribute cultivator.
The bewildered-looking elders of the wood sect suddenly saw Little White drop a red box at their feet. They reached out to pick it up.
"A Pill of Continuous Life!" The elder who opened the box almost couldn't help but shout.
A Pill of Continuous Life is made from a fourth-grade detoxifying pill, a fourth-grade foundation-building pill, a fourth-grade qi-nourishing pill, a fourth-grade refinement pill, and a fourth-grade enhancement pill. In today's world, even fourth-grade pills are extremely rare; let alone these five combined to form the Pill of Continuous Life!
Given its name "Pill of Continuous Life," this medicinal pill has miraculous effects—able to preserve the faintest trace of life within a cultivator.
The soles of Little White's feet emitted rainbow-colored light as it returned to Xie Yujia, wiggling its tail to indicate that it had completed its task.
Xie Yujia stroked its head and smiled faintly.
This Pill of Continuous Life was concocted after wasting over half a furnace full of fourth-grade pills. Originally, she intended to save it for Hao Ren's use, but she couldn't bear seeing that Wood Attribute cultivator perish so tragically, especially with the woman beside him weeping uncontrollably... *Plop* *Plop* *Plop*
On the martial arts arena, Hao Ren and Zhao Kuo faced off, exchanging beams of light!
320 beams of light and 720 beams of light, when searched on Baidu Wenkai Academy Website, total up to over a thousand beams of light, like colorful cotton candy thrown into the air, dazzling. Only Hao Ren and Zhao Kuo know which beams of light they control!
The beams of light become more densely packed...
Bang!
Hao Ren and Zhao Kuo, who control the beams with their minds, fly out a hundred meters each. They stand on separate fields, Start of Spring Field and Start of Autumn Field.
...Snap... Snap...
Some of these beams burst open like soap bubbles!
Hao Ren stands on the Start of Spring Field, giving a slight smile.
"You little brat... you've got some skills."
Zhao Kuo steadies himself and says from across the large martial arts arena.
Among Zhao Kuo's beams of light, eighty are mere illusions with no substantial spiritual energy at all. Yet Hao Ren discovered these weaknesses one after another during their confrontation and destroyed them!
Hum! Hum!
The 640 beams circling around Zhao Kuo form a neat squad, constantly flickering.
"Your uncle is also very formidable," Hao Ren says politely to Zhao Kuo.
He knew the eighty beams were illusions because he practiced the Separation of Light Rainbow Technique as well, knowing that this technique's number of light beams doubles—after 320 comes 640, never 720!
"That was just a warm-up. Now it’s time for the real deal!" With his hands on either side of his body and in a half-squat stance to form a horse-riding position, Zhao Kuo's beams "hum" as they swarm around him like bees.
“Haha, so am I!” Hao Ren points forward with his right hand. The 320 beams suddenly flip their positions, each pointed at Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo leaps a hundred meters into the air!
Hao Ren uses all his strength and charges up as well!
The beams of light clash with loud snaps, and Hao Ren and Zhao Kuo’s heads collide in midair!
Bang!
A powerful aura shakes a crack through the large martial arts arena!confiscated, and Wang Shitong was killed… Xu Ke hasn’t accomplished anything in Donghai City… This Taiyi Cave Lord couldn’t sit still anymore."You may step down. From now on, you are a disciple of my...
