Chapter 51: The Final Four
of fright came without any warning, purely from the instinctive alarm of one's own body and blood vessels in the face of a life-or-death crisis.A ghostly figure appeared behind him at some unknown poi...After a thousand prodigies were sent into the Heavenly Heart Realm on the school grounds, after a period of time, prodigies were gradually sent out.
"Am I, eliminated"
"That shouldn't be possible, my strength should have been able to withstand that round of attacks. But my spiritual energy...it's completely depleted."
"How many waves of attacks have you weathered"
"Eight wheels!"
These already-sent-out prodigies gathered together, conversing and debating with each other, their expressions mostly grim.
In no time, the geniuses sent out from the Heavenly Heart Realm had already occupied most of the positions.
At that moment, a tall, muscular blond man was also brought out.
The moment he appeared, he immediately captured the attention of all the geniuses present.
"It's Cangyan!"
"Was it him"
"He was let out so early"
Many geniuses were astonished.
Cang Yan is a top-tier genius who is qualified to challenge the top twenty hunters. In terms of strength alone, he shouldn't have been sent out of the Tianxin Realm so early.
After all, there are still hundreds of geniuses remaining in the Heavenly Heart Realm.
"Damn it!"
At this moment, Cang Yan was gritting his teeth and clenching his fists, his face contorted in extreme displeasure.
"I was too rash!"
"I should be more cautious and conserve my energy as much as possible. Otherwise, I could have easily made it through the tenth round of attacks!"
Just inside the Heavenly Heart Realm, facing a wave of opponents, he directly exploded from the start, relying on his absolute strength to forcibly obliterate those opponents.
Although he was fast and had already cleared the eighth round, his spiritual energy had been depleted by half. That's when he realized something was wrong, but it was too late.
He managed to squeeze through the ninth round, but in the tenth round, his opponent's strength skyrocketed. With only a small amount of spiritual energy left, he was eliminated by the opponent in the tenth round.
"The Tianxin Realm, the ninth cycle is a threshold. Once you reach the tenth cycle, the difficulty will increase significantly!"
If too much spiritual energy was consumed in the first nine rounds, it's very possible that by the tenth round, due to the increased difficulty and excessive depletion of spiritual energy, one would be eliminated.
Tian Ye Zong's Elder Mo stood there with his hands behind his back, watching as one after another genius was eliminated and sent out of the Tianxin Realm. He shook his head secretly.
He understands that the Heavenly Flame Dynasty regards the Celestial Heart Realm as the target for the second stage of the hunting assessment.
A genius, while talent and ability are undeniably important, if they lack the basic judgment in special circumstances or react too sluggishly to crises, such a genius, no matter how high their innate ability, won't get very far.
Someone like Cang Yan, who acts too recklessly, relies on brute force to slaughter opponents without fully understanding the rules of the second stage hunt and wastes his spiritual energy indiscriminately. Being eliminated early is only what he deserves.
……
As time gradually passes, more and more talented individuals are sent out from the Heavenly Heart Realm.
After another pot of tea, Duan Yunfeng was also sent out.
"It's a pity, knowing I should conserve my spiritual energy as much as possible, but during the battles with those opponents, I couldn't help but unleash some formidable sword techniques to eliminate them.
"If I had just a little more spiritual power, if I could unleash one or two ultimate moves, then this thirteenth round of attack, I could have completely withstood it. Even in the fourteenth round of attack, I could have held on for a while," Duan Yunfeng sighed softly.
He went through twelve rounds of attacks within the Heavenly Heart Realm, enduring most of the thirteenth round before being eliminated.
This result, among the numerous eliminated geniuses, is truly remarkable.
And now, the mirage displayed above the schoolyard, there are only four left.
That is to say, there are only four people left who are still adventuring inside the Heavenly Heart Realm.
These four people, each...
It is widely recognized that Xia Mang is the strongest!
Qi Wangfu, kill San!
A mysterious monk, Wu Chao!
And lastly, there is Su Xin, who allegedly ranks among the top ten powerhouses but is questioned by many, possessing only the cultivation base of a Great Sea Realm…
……
In the Heavenly Heart Realm, within the Trial Space, it has already reached the thirteenth round.
And the opponent in this thirteenth round was ten black-armored soldiers wielding long spears.
These black-armored soldiers, each possessed terrifying strength. Their spears thrust forward with an awe-inspiring and fearsome power.
And the barefoot Buddhist monk, Ujo, with beads of Buddha hanging around his neck, stood in the very center of the trial space. In his hand, he held that stone staff, casually swinging it again and again.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Every time a stone mace was swung, a black-armored soldier was sent flying.
Ten black-armored soldiers charged at the same time, and as a result, all ten black-armored soldiers were sent flying back.
Simple and to the point!
There is nothing fancy.
In the eyes of many, these ten elite black armored soldiers were formidable. However, before the might of Uchao, they resembled punching bags, being sent flying time and again.
"Too strong!"
"That great monk, how powerful is his stone staff"
"This is the opponent of the thirteenth round Those ten black-armored soldiers, any one of them could easily crush a talented person who has just passed through the second floor of the Dragon's Tower"
Those geniuses standing on the school field, as well as the powerful individuals from various factions and sects, all saw the scene where Grand Master Wu Chao effortlessly sent black-clad soldiers flying. Their eyes were filled with shock and awe.
"That pervert!"
Duan Yunfeng also gritted his teeth secretly. Thinking back to when he had been stunned by that monk's staff, a chill ran down his spine.
The thirteenth round was over quickly.
By the fourteenth round, the opponents were still ten armed soldiers, but their armor had changed from black to silver, and their combat effectiveness had increased.
Almost done!
The great master stood calmly, watching as ten silver-armored soldiers approached.
"Having survived thirteen rounds of attacks, I should be able to pass this second stage of the hunt."
"This monk came here to hunt, not for fame. That's about enough."
The kind-hearted monk chuckled, and under the siege of ten silver-armored soldiers, he merely waved his stone staff two or three times symbolically before being eliminated and sent off.
Seeing the Wuchao appear on the school field, these geniuses' expressions were all incredibly strange.
"How could this be The thirteenth round attack was so easily successful, but in the fourteenth round, we're suddenly eliminated Did their spiritual energy run out"
"How is that possible Look at how relaxed and carefree he was before, he didn't seem to be using any spiritual energy at all. In my opinion, he just deliberately lost."
Most geniuses can see it clearly.
This Wu Chao, it's clear that he wasn't planning on continuing forward, so he deliberately let himself be eliminated.
...and his abilities...
Before, the Chi Long Building recognized him as having the strength of the top ten fighters. No one doubted it. Now, many people feel that this Wu Chao's true strength might not be inferior to Xia Mang!
"Sītu Yù, I heard that during the first stage of the hunt, this烏 (wu) has been looking for your trail all the time. You have to be careful," someone warned beside him.
Sistr Yu's face was as dark and gloomy as water at this moment.
I knew this abbot was powerful, but I didn't expect him to be this strong.
"What kind of monster came out of nowhere!"
Si Tu Yu looked like he was gritting his teeth.
……
Similarly, in the thirteenth wave of attacks in the Heavenly Heart Realm.
"His Highness has ordered me to enter the Heavenly Flame Palace to cultivate!"
"My lord's command, I must fulfill it, no matter... the cost."
The slender and cold man Tu San scanned the surroundings with his knife-like eyes, observing the ten black armored soldiers charging towards him.
He moved like a ghost, darting between the ten black-armored soldiers. His power was fully unleashed, striking from time to time. One by one, the black-armored soldiers were killed and vanished.
He was once a slave.
His life, everything he had, was given to him by King Qi.
From a young age, the idea was instilled that King Qi was superior to all else.
Everything he did was for the Qi Wangfu.
Just like this hunt, it was King Qi who ordered him to participate, and it was also King Qi who wanted him to enter the Heavenly Flame Palace to cultivate.
As for himself... In his eyes, there was no "himself" at all.
Having unleashed his strongest power, Tu San exhausted a great deal of spiritual energy before finally clearing the thirteenth level.
By the fourteenth round, Tu San was still giving it her all, fighting fiercely with the ten silver-armored soldiers for a while. She depleted her spiritual energy and was ultimately eliminated.
After being sent to the Heavenly Heart Realm, Tu San stood alone in a corner of the schoolyard. Facing the astonished glances from those around him, he remained unchanged, as if a machine devoid of emotion.
……
Another trial space.
Xia Mang, similarly, has already reached the fourteenth round.
And at this moment, all eyes were upon him.
“I, am a member of the royal family!”
“I speak for the royal dignity!”
"Tianyan Palace, I will definitely enter, and I must enter with the first place ranking of this hunt!"
It's not just about finishing first in the final ranking, even the second stage of the hunt has to be ranked first!
Xia Mang, tall and imposing with a cold and aloof expression, stood at the center, exuding an air of dominance.
He was born into royalty, but he wasn't raised in luxury. Instead, he grew up in the midst of the most intense and brutal competition.
But in this growth environment, all he ever pursued was the strongest!
"The Heavenly Heart Realm, I've crossed many times before, but always stopped at the fourteenth level!"
But this time, I will definitely get through!
Xia Mang let out a low growl, the gun in his hand, like a dragon.
Domineering!
Fierce!
The power is even more terrifying than imaginable.
The ten silver-armored soldiers who stormed in from the surroundings were each incredibly powerful. Let alone ten soldiers fighting together, but under Xia Mang's domineering and fierce gunplay that erupted frantically, three of them were blasted to death within a short time.
Then, boom! Boom! Boom!
This was yet another ten times of frantic and intense confrontation.
Ten silver-armored soldiers, in the end, were all killed by Xia Mang with a single shot each.
Round fourteen, we made it through!
"Wow! That's amazing!"
"Too strong!"
On the schoolyard, there was an uproar.
"So far, even top geniuses like Tu San and Wu Chao have only managed to clear the thirteenth round. They didn't last long in the fourteenth round before being eliminated. But Xia Mang actually directly cleared the fourteenth round. And he didn't just barely make it through the attacks of the ten Silver Armored Soldiers, he directly smashed them with overwhelming power. This kind of strength... is terrifying!"
"Terrifying!"
"Too much! "
This is the person who was recognized as the strongest hunter before this event!
The entire schoolyard was in an uproar.
Nobody expected that Xia Mang's strength would become this powerful.
"Third layer!"
This summer, he absolutely has the strength to have cleared the third level of the Dragon Seeking Tower!
Even those top-tier powerhouses from all factions and sects were inwardly shaken.
They are very clear that being able to pass the fourteenth level of the Heavenly Heart Realm, and still relying on absolute strength to directly crush their opponents, must have the strength to pass the third level of the Dragon Seeking Tower.
...and having passed through the third level of the Dragon Seeking Tower, one who achieved this within the Heavenly Inferno Empire represented the pinnacle of talent.
Such a genius, in the past, even if it were counted in several sessions, or even dozens of sessions of the Imperial City Hunt, it was rare to appear one. But this time, it appeared.
After passing the fourteenth round, Xia Mang encountered the opponent of the fifteenth round: ten golden-armored soldiers with guns.
These ten golden armor soldiers were significantly stronger than the silver armor soldiers. Xia Mang managed to hold out for a while against these ten golden armor soldiers, but eventually he was defeated.
When the summer sun had set and autumn arrived, after the second stage of the hunt, out of a thousand talented individuals, only one remained within the Heavenly Heart Realm, continuing their exploration.
This person is Su Xin!!
…… Yongning County officially began.However, this preliminary assessment was only conducted on the dozens of people gathered at the training ground, including Kang Jing and his brother Kang Xuan. As for...
