"Thump!"
In just two breaths' time, another few Heavenly Thunder Hall core disciples of the second level of the Netherpassage stage had fallen.
"That person is so strong. Even those at the second level of the Netherpassage stage have already fallen, but he is still standing there."
"The strength of his soul comparable to the second level of the Netherpassage stage, his physique also reaching eight stars. How is it that I have never heard of this person before?"
"I saw him together with senior apprentice-brother Ling Xiao earlier. Could he have just joined recently?"
The surrounding people all began to speculate.
A genius like Ye Xuan should not be unknown.
The fifteenth bell chime defeated six Heavenly Thunder Hall core disciples at the second level of the Netherpassage stage.
"Weng!"
The sixteenth ring of the bell sounded.
As long as he could hold on for three breaths' time, he would be able to attain an eight star evaluation.
"It's about time. If it's too high, I'll be targeted a little. I'm only here to be tempered by the heavenly thunder."
Ye Xuan thought to himself. He was prepared to pretend to fall down in the second breath of time.
However, just at this time.
"Everyone listen up. All disciples who reach an eight star evaluation will be rewarded with three thousand Inner Devil Pills, three thousand for each higher evaluation, and so on!"
Suddenly, a foreign voice entered everyone's ears.
Hearing this, everyone looked towards the source of the voice, discovering that the speaker was a grey-clothed middle-aged man. Perhaps some might not recognise him, but it was impossible for Ling Qiang and the other higher echelons of the Heavenly Thunder Hall to not recognise him.
"Greetings, Hall Lord!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
The one who had issued this reward was the current Hall Lord of the Heavenly Thunder Hall, Ling Xinglong.
"What, an eight star evaluation reward of three thousand Inner Devil Pills?"
Hearing these words, whether it was those present or those outside, their eyes all lit up.
It was the same for Ye Xuan.
"The hell, wasn't there supposed to be no reward?"
Rather perplexed, Ye Xuan quickly pondered for a moment.
Three thousand Inner Devil Pills was not a small sum to him, but to others, it was even more of a huge fortune.
This sixteenth ring of the bell, should he hold or not?
"Tch, a bastard who doesn't earn money when there's money to be earned. Let's go all out!"
Ye Xuan immediately made his decision.
Hold!
After three breaths of time, there were only a dozen people left on the arena.
These dozen or so people had all reached an eight-star evaluation. Some of them were even able to hold on because they were stimulated by the Heart Demon Pill. Otherwise, they would have already collapsed.
Among them, only Ye Xuan was at the first level of the Netherpassage Realm. The rest were at least at the second level.
"How is this possible? This brat's soul strength has actually reached an eight-star evaluation?"
"Holy shit, could it be that the Palace Master's words have strengthened his mind and allowed him to hold on?"
"Money really does make the world go round. This brat is really going all out for the Heart Demon Pill!"
"That's not right. Look, he seems to still have some energy left."
Everyone's gazes were focused on Ye Xuan.
Indeed, Ye Xuan still had some energy left after the sixteenth bell.
"Good boy, try the seventeenth bell!"
Ling Qiang's eyes lit up. Then, he punched the Soul Ringing Bell.
"Buzz!"
The seventeenth ring of the Soul Bell spread out slowly.
Some of the people in the field immediately went limp after hearing the sound, unable to hold on.
"Thump!" "Thump!"
In just one breath, three people collapsed.
In the second breath, another three people collapsed.
At this moment, there were only eight people left on the arena.
In the third breath, there were only six people left on the arena.
Jiao Chong, Gu Han, and Xu Liang, the three geniuses at the third level of the Netherpassage Realm, were still fine. Jiao Heng and Jiao Lie, the two disciples of the Blackwater Lightning Wyrm, were from the Demon Clan and had lived for a hundred years, so their soul strength was also stronger than normal people.
However, Ye Xuan, who was at the first level of the Netherpassage Realm, was actually able to hold on. It was practically a miracle.
Inconceivable!
Simply inconceivable!
However, Ye Xuan was actually already at the end of his strength. The seventeenth bell was his limit. Even if he lay down now, he would still have an eight-and-a-half star evaluation, which was a full six thousand Heart Demon Pills.
If he could hold on for another bell, then he would have nine thousand Heart Demon Pills, which was enough for him to break through to the second level of the Netherpassage Realm.
"Impossible, why is this brat still not lying down?"
Jiao Lie didn't dare to believe that there was still a first level Netherpassage Realm martial artist who hadn't collapsed, and he was also at the end of his strength. However, if he collapsed before Ye Xuan, wouldn't he be laughed to death?
"Even if my body and soul are destroyed, I still won't fall before you!"
Jiao Lie gritted his teeth and prepared to continue.
Elder Ling Qiang looked around, and finally his gaze fell on Ye Xuan.
"Peng!"
He didn't forget his duty, and punched the Soul Tolling Bell.
"Weng!"
The eighteenth sound of the bell rang out.
Jiao Lie and Jiao Heng couldn't hold on any longer, and they fell limply to the ground.
However, Ye Xuan didn't fall. He just swayed there.
"Impossible …"
Jiao Lie didn't dare to believe that he had lost to a human. Moreover, this human's cultivation level was lower than his, and he was more than seventy years younger than him.
At this moment, if he were awake, he would definitely bang his head against the wall.
Everyone present held their breaths, waiting to see if Ye Xuan would be able to survive this eighteenth bell.
"Terrifying, truly terrifying. The strength of Ye Xuan's soul is actually even stronger than mine. If he can survive this bell, he will be evaluated as a nine star."
Outside, Ling Xiao said in shock. He had never thought that he would actually bring back such a monster to the Heavenly Thunder Hall this time.
A mere first level Netherpassage martial artist already having the strength of a third level Netherpassage martial artist's soul. His battle prowess shouldn't be too weak as he would definitely be able to challenge those of a higher level.
Elder Ling Qiang's gaze fell on Ye Xuan, saying, "This brat said to have just broken through to the Netherpassage stage, but his soul is already so powerful. If it were a normal first level Netherpassage martial artist, they would definitely not be able to refine so many Inner Devil Pills at all, instead falling into cultivation deviation. How exactly does this brat cultivate?"
At this moment, Ye Xuan had already survived past a breath's time, at the same time becoming the focal point of all gazes.
Jiao Chong, Gu Han and Xu Liang were also looking at Ye Xuan. They especially hoped that Ye Xuan would fall now so that they could regain some face.
However, Ye Xuan just did not fall.
"What the hell. If I had known earlier, I would have let Luoluo use the Eye of Bewitchment. That way, I would have been able to last till the nineteenth bell, or even the twentieth. What a pity …"
Ye Xuan thought with his last remaining shred of consciousness.
The nineteenth bell would be an evaluation of nine and a half stars, a total of twelve thousand Inner Devil Pills. At that time, not only would he be able to break through, Wei Zhentian would also be able to improve greatly.
"Forget it, I'll just give up."
Ye Xuan tottered a few steps before suddenly stomping hard with his feet, his entire person leaping off the arena.
Now, it was two breaths' time.
The entire place was silent.
