The Lightning Bead shot into his body, causing Mu Gong to groan in pain. Soon after, he spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the stone platform in front of him.
Mu Gong was on the verge of collapse, and pain and weakness came from all over his body. However, he still forced himself not to fall. He raised his head, and although his expression was calm, it was difficult to hide his loneliness.
"You won …"
But even if he admitted his defeat, Mu Gong would not wait for his opponent to completely defeat him. Instead, he took the initiative to jump off the stone platform. This was his last dignity.
Facing all this, Yan Chutian remained indifferent, without the slightest ripple. Because from the moment the two of them fought, one of them would have to face this result.
In other words, if he had lost, then the one who would leave the stage would be him. So, how could Yan Chutian sympathize with Mu Gong!
Mu Gong took the initiative to admit defeat, so Yan Chutian took back the spirit mark and sat down cross-legged to recover.
At the same time, cries of surprise sounded out continuously. If it was said that Yan Chutian had defeated Wang Hong, many people would ignore it, but now that Yan Chutian had defeated Mu Gong, they could not ignore it no matter what.
Because who was Mu Gong? He was one of the top geniuses of the Daluo Sect. It was no exaggeration to say that he was one of the top geniuses who had participated in this test.
If he did not encounter any geniuses of the same level, then he would definitely obtain the star skull and pass the test.
But what did they just see? They actually saw that Mu Gong was defeated by an unremarkable third level elixir cultivator, and it was not a sneak attack, but a head-on battle!
"Mu … Mu Gong was actually defeated …!"
"Unbelievable, he was actually defeated by a third level elixir cultivator!"
"How is this possible!?"
The cries of surprise continued, but when they suddenly remembered Yan Chutian's performance, the cries of surprise gradually subsided.
Because to be honest, it was Yan Chutian's performance that shocked them even more. He was only at the third level elixir, but he had such strength, how could they not be shocked!
Compared to this, it seemed that even Mu Gong's defeat could be explained reasonably.
At the same time, those so-called heaven's prides finally understood why Mu Gong had treated Yan Chutian so seriously from the very beginning.
How was this an ant that could be casually crushed to death? This was clearly a monster pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger!
After recovering for a moment and receiving the reward for defeating Mu Gong, Yan Chutian didn't stay any longer. Instead, he continued to walk towards the stone platform.
Moreover, it seemed that because of the might that Yan Chutian had displayed when he defeated Mu Gong, the surrounding geniuses didn't dare to take the lead. They waited for Yan Chutian to ascend the stone platform before following closely behind him.
However, Yan Chutian did not know that at the same time that he ascended the stone platform, on the other side of the Thousand Star Tree, there was an indifferent figure who was staring at him with a cold gaze.
Seeing Yan Chutian disappear from the stone platform and ascend to a higher level, this figure coldly snorted. "Damn grasshopper, you actually dare to jump under the Thousand Star Tree."
"Pray that you don't meet this Daoist here, otherwise, this Daoist will definitely let you know that without the Spirit Altar Array to rely on, you are nothing in front of this Daoist!"
After these cold words, the figure immediately turned around and ascended the stone platform under many awe-inspiring gazes.
If Yan Chutian saw him, his eyes would definitely be cold, because this person who called himself a Daoist was naturally one of the Liu Clan's Daoists of the Divine Heaven Sect, Liu Qing, whose opportunity had been snatched away by Yan Chutian and the others.
The eliminations continued. Every time someone ascended to a higher level stone platform, someone would be eliminated. However, overall, this kind of elimination was not very intense. After all, no one wanted to exhaust their strength in advance, and they always wanted to preserve a little more.
However, when this kind of situation occurred, it was difficult to maintain it when a genius reached about half of the height of the Thousand Star Tree.
This was because a clear light screen would appear on this platform. On each stone platform, only half of the people could ascend to a higher level!
"So it's time to increase the intensity?"
Looking at the words in front of him, Yan Chutian muttered to himself. Along with his muttering, the surrounding atmosphere became a little stiff.
This was because it was very clear between the lines that half of the people had to be eliminated in order to ascend to a higher level, so it was not just one or two people who had been eliminated before.
However, no matter how stiff the atmosphere was, there would be times when it would explode. Soon, a great battle broke out on the stone platforms, and because the area of the stone platforms was constantly shrinking, such battles were often chaotic.
At the same time, the grudges at the beginning became clear competition later on, and only half of the people were eliminated!
However, as the fierce battles continued, no one rashly came to Yan Chutian. Perhaps it was because he had just defeated Mu Gong, or perhaps it was because some of the geniuses had recognized him.
As the platforms continued to change, the geniuses who had competed for the spirit fruit at the lake on that day would always appear. Naturally, they would not forget this extremely stunning Heaven's Fate Sect disciple.
Since no one came to find him, Yan Chutian was naturally happy to see this. While waiting for half of the people to be eliminated, he began to observe his surroundings.
As the eliminations approached the end, Yan Chutian was gradually able to see the situation on the stone platforms surrounding the Thousand Star Tree with his Spiritual Eye.
Although he saw some figures that made him look coldly at, he was more gratified to see that Qiu Yu, Luo Xue, and Yan Ningzhu had not been eliminated. Of course, this was more or less due to their appearance. The geniuses who considered themselves to be extraordinary naturally did not want to lose their grace in front of beauties when it was not important.
However, as the eliminations continued, they were also unable to escape.
As they continued to climb towards the crown of the Thousand Star Tree, even Yan Chutian was unable to remain idle. Even if they were not deliberately targeting him, the chaotic battles would still affect him, forcing him to take action.
In the end, he had no choice but to take action, as a new rule had appeared. Only by eliminating one person could one continue to ascend the stone platforms.
Such a forceful rule made Yan Chutian feel extremely displeased. However, as of now, he did not have the ability to overturn it. Therefore, he could only accept it, and continue to search for opponents on the stone platforms.
After this, every stone platform became incomparably lively, as no one was able to escape. Only by eliminating one person could one continue to ascend the stone platforms.
As he continued to climb, Yan Chutian also encountered some dangers. Several disciples from a faction were fortunate enough to bump into each other. Immediately, they joined forces to attack Yan Chutian and the other geniuses.
Fortunately, the other geniuses were not fools. They reacted immediately, and were not defeated one by one. Otherwise, even Yan Chutian would not have been able to escape.
After all, two fists were no match for four hands. Among the disciples from that faction, there were two who were only slightly weaker than Mu Gong.
As he continued to be eliminated, Yan Chutian also encountered an old acquaintance. He was Hong Gu. Even though Hong Gu's appearance had changed a lot compared to before, Yan Chutian could still recognize him at a glance. However, compared to Yan Chutian, Hong Gu's reaction was much greater.
His eyes were filled with shock, as he could not imagine that Yan Chutian had also made it to this step!
In his imagination, Yan Chutian should have been defeated and fled long ago. How could he have made it to this step?
While Hong Gu was shocked, Yan Chutian's expression remained calm. He only glanced at him briefly before retracting his gaze. Then, he slowly said, "In any case, we are from the same faction, so we can support each other. Of course, if you are unwilling, then so be it. "
After all, they were from the same faction. Even if there had been disputes within the sect, Yan Chutian would not be so ruthless. On the contrary, he was even willing to help.
However, this was not him begging Hong Gu. If he was unwilling, then they would not have anything to do with each other.
However, Hong Gu did not refuse in the end, because his thoughts were the same as Yan Chutian's. However, even if he agreed, he did not forget to sneer, "I can help you this time, but I can't help you next time. If you can't beat him, then leave as soon as possible."
In Hong Gu's opinion, it was nothing more than Yan Chutian's luck getting a little better. Just like in the Heavenly Secret Gathering, if he had not been a little unlucky, how could he have lost?
However, today was different from the past. If they fought again, Hong Gu was very confident that he could defeat him!
Hearing this, Yan Chutian did not say anything, only nodding slightly, as if he agreed with Hong Gu's words. He did not want to fight, so he naturally would not argue with words. After all, words were always the most useless thing.
