"Take him away!"
The surroundings were completely silent, and everyone felt slightly frightened. Even though there were still people who wanted to try, no one would easily try to be the first. No matter how much the Titan supervisor liked to play around, he could not possibly set up an assessment that could not be passed at all. He would first watch the others attempt it and summarize their experiences.
Many people turned their gazes towards bone goblin Pavaro. Even though the bone goblin race did not have any particularly shocking natural endowments in thunder techniques, they were experts in illusions. Furthermore, Pavaro was one of the three strongest experts among this batch of Combat Cultivation students. Thus, he would probably be the one to test the waters for everyone.
However, before bone goblin Pavaro had any intention of attacking, another person had already stepped forward.
Blood Demon Balor.
Among the three top experts, Ghost Gorst would definitely not easily try. As for the Earthling from last time, Balor simply did not take him seriously. Even though he relied on the physical techniques that he had learned in the lower worlds and had a certain amount of combat power, he was still a Foundational Stage. When faced with this kind of head-on assessment where one could not take advantage of any tricks, a Foundational Stage was definitely not enough.
In the end, his competitor in this assessment was still Pavaro. Balor had the intention of fighting before him. At that moment, he deliberately looked at Pavaro, but Pavaro did not have any intention of fighting with him. He simply waited at the side expressionlessly. Balor did not expect Bone to have any expression.
It seemed that Pavaro's ability to see through illusions was useless against this minefield. After all, this was a level-4 illusory weapon that the Titan supervisor had taken out. There was a limit to the ability of bone goblins to see through illusions.
"Balor is still more unyielding. After all, he is a Blood Demon."
"It should be fine for Balor to attack. After all, there are three top experts. If even he cannot do anything about it, others can forget about passing."
"Let's see how he plans to pass. Has he figured out the method to break through this minefield?"
Boom!
Air waves surged from his body, and a wave of spiritual power surged continuously from his body. The spiritual power was blood-red in color and burned on his body like flames. His surging aura spread and formed a massive humanoid shadow with two horns on its head. It was three to four meters tall, and its Spiritual Energy Value increased crazily. Many shattered rocks around it were rolling on their own despite the absence of wind. They were attracted by the goblin aura, and some of the smaller ones were even suspended in the air.
Demonic Blood Transformation Art!
Top-notch experts would not easily reveal their true forms, especially in front of their competitors. The Blood Demon race was extremely good at controlling their own aura. Even if they did not reveal their true forms, they would still be able to surpass many people. Wang Zhong estimated that his Spiritual Energy Value had reached over 300,000, and it would at least double after revealing his true form.
At that moment, Balor's entire body was brimming with terrifying power. He calmly glanced in Pavaro's direction. Then, with the tip of his foot, he charged straight into the minefield.
"Look at this route and speed, I'm afraid he'll have to face it head-on!"
"Will it work? The Thunder Sparrow Revealing True Body had a Spiritual Energy Value of no less than two hundred thousand, and it also had lightning resistance, but wasn't it still struck out? "
"Idiot. Putting aside the fact that there's still a gap, even if they both have 300,000 Spiritual Energy Points, can the lightning sparrow compare to Balor?"
"The way experts use spiritual power is completely different."
The surrounding crowd buzzed with chatter, all of them waiting to watch a good show. Wang Zhong, on the other hand, shook his head silently.
It was said that the Blood Demon race was hot-tempered and easily angered. They did things simply and directly, but that was because they were easy to listen to. To put it bluntly, they were simple-minded and had well-developed limbs. Just now, the lightning that struck the lightning sparrow was obviously aimed at the limits of the lightning sparrow's lightning resistance. It was obvious that the lightning sparrow would become stronger when encountering a strong opponent. This minefield was definitely not something that could be passed through with brute force. After all, it was a level-4 lightning technique illusory weapon that was controlled by the Titan supervisor. If he wanted to pass through, he had to observe where the lightning landed and the pattern.
Lao Wang had figured out the pattern just by looking at the lightning sparrow. However, that was not enough. He still had to see if there would be any new changes in the lightning array. Thus, Lao Wang was not in a hurry to be the first to pass.
However, Balor was known as one of the top three experts in the Combat Cultivation Hall, but he could not even see through this and wanted to force his way through … No one knew why the Blood Demon race had pushed him to be the leader of the Combat Cultivation Hall.
In the blink of an eye, Blood Demon Balor had charged into the minefield. As expected, the first lightning that struck down from the sky was a bolt of lightning that was as thick as a bowl. It was much thicker than the one that had struck the lightning sparrow, and its power was even greater. Balor completely ignored it and continued to charge forward. When the lightning struck down, it was blocked by the massive aura that surrounded his body. It only managed to strike half a meter deep!
Five meters!
Balor did not stop at all, as if he was not affected by the lightning at all. He took a step forward with his left foot and rapidly charged forward.
Boom!
However, the lightning that was blocked did not disappear. On the contrary, the lightning line that connected the dark clouds in the sky suddenly thickened and was as thick as a person's waist. Meanwhile, the bottom rapidly expanded and turned into a sphere! It actually wrapped around his entire body!
Violent Thunder Heavenly Prison!
This ball-shaped lightning was like a prison that instantly confined and wrapped around Balor. However, even so, it did not seem to be able to stop Balor from charging forward. He merely slowed down slightly. At the same time, he took large strides forward.
Ten meters!
"He's very resilient. It seems like there's a show." Jhonas, who was listening from the side, widened his eyes. He had already asked the Winged Cloud Insect to send a letter to his friend regarding the pill. It was convenient to have a messenger, and he did not need to personally run errands. The bad news was that there was no Weapon Refinery class today. Naturally, he had to follow his boss here to broaden his horizons. The Combat Cultivation class here was much more interesting than the Weapon Refinery class. Those who were watching the commotion did not mind if things got out of hand. It was simply too satisfying to watch a group of arrogant fellows being tortured to death. Jhonas was a fan of the Titan.
"That's not necessarily true." There was another familiar person beside him, Shannali. The Cloud Mist Faction was a Pill Faction and also cultivated lightning techniques. Furthermore, the pupils of the Pill Refinery Hall were obviously more knowledgeable. Even though she did not dare to say that she could see through the illusory lightning region, at the very least, she knew that it was definitely not something that a Void Core could resist. "I'm afraid that his outcome will not be much better than that of the lightning sparrow."
Recently, she had been busy refining the level-7 pill, and time was very tight. She had not attended a few Combat Cultivation classes. In the end, a few days ago, she heard that the daughter of the Heavenly Shell Crown Prince, Celeste, had helped Wang Zhong stand up for him in the Pill Refinery District. This caused Shannali to be rather surprised. When did Wang Zhong know the daughter of the Heavenly Shell Crown Prince? It seemed like their relationship was not shallow … Previously, Celeste's invitation to Wang Zhong to join the Pill One Association was already shocking enough. However, it seemed like a normal invitation process and did not reveal that the two of them had a personal relationship. Perhaps there were other secrets, but even a blind person could see that there was something between the two of them from what Celeste had said in the Pill Refinery District.
When Jhonas, who was beside her, heard her speak, he grinned and moved closer. "Hey, beautiful lady, it's you! I saw that you seemed to be very familiar with my boss. Let's get to know each other … "
Shannali looked at him and smiled. Needless to say, Shannali was definitely not the most beautiful here, but she had a special taste. Furthermore, the more familiar she was, the more charming she felt. "Sure. I'm also very interested in equipment refinery from the Illusion race."
While the two of them were speaking, Blood Demon Balor had already encountered a problem.
He had already charged to a position of around 20 meters. The Blood Demon shadow that was formed from his blood and energy was indeed impressive. Not only had he resisted the line lightning, ball lightning, and explosive lightning, he had even forcefully withstood the chain lightning net that followed closely after, as well as the thunderstorm that was like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers. Although his first two steps were large and he charged very quickly, his speed had drastically decreased after that. However, in the end, he had endured through a cycle. Other than the fact that most of the Blood Demon shadow on his body had disappeared, he did not seem to have been injured.
The hundreds of Combat Cultivation Hall pupils were already loudly cheering. However, closely after, they saw a bolt of lightning that was 10 times thicker than before suddenly strike down from the sky!
Boom!
There was a terrifying explosion. Just the sound of thunder alone caused the entire ground to tremble slightly. The expression of Balor, who was charging forward, suddenly changed. His body, which was flying in the air, was struck. This time, he did not just stagger. Instead, he simply fell from the sky and dived to the ground. Balor, who had been able to withstand an entire round of lightning strikes just now, was struck dizzy and disoriented.
Boom!
The lightning suddenly changed, and the speed at which it changed was much faster than the first round. It instantly turned into a ball and trapped the fallen Blood Demon Balor. Dense electric snakes continued to swim on the surface of the lightning ball and crackled. The thick lightning ball had a diameter of a few meters. Balor felt that he could not even move, let alone break through it!
When he sensed how terrifying this upgraded Violent Thunder Prison was, Balor's expression instantly turned ghastly pale. However, he reacted quickly and suddenly crossed his hands to protect his chest. His entire body curled up, and the Demonic Blood Transformation Technique was activated to its maximum in an instant. The rich power of his blood almost filled the entire lightning ball.
Boom!
It was also at this moment that the lightning ball exploded. Explosive lightning!
Even though Balor was in a defensive stance, he was at the center of the explosion and was still instantly struck dizzy and disoriented by this explosive lightning technique. However, his desire to survive was strong enough. Taking advantage of the impact of the exploding lightning ball, the blood-red figure did not even think and quickly rushed back the way he had come.
Crackle!
The lightning from the exploding lightning ball scattered in all directions. In an instant, the sparks of lightning formed a chain-like lightning net that violently struck Balor's body. The thick image of his blood and aura was directly dispersed. Balor's body was injured and staggered. However, he was a top expert among the Void Cores of the Blood Demon race. He forcefully gritted his teeth and endured it. The speed at which he rushed back once again increased explosively.
Pa pa pa pa pa!!
The dense lightning storm was like a final, life-threatening attack. It was too dense, and there was no way to avoid it. Fortunately, his speed of rushing back was extremely fast. All the lightning strikes in the lightning area intercepted him in front of him and did not block him from behind. Thus, he was lucky enough to rush out. However, he could not avoid being hit by the remaining power from the edge of the lightning storm formation.
Zeng!
A grey shadow flashed past everyone's line of sight. Before the last wave of lightning had landed, Balor had already rushed out in an extremely sorry state. He staggered 17 or 18 steps forward before he managed to stabilize himself.
The change had happened too quickly. Just a second ago, Balor had been domineering and courageous. However, in the blink of an eye, he had returned in a sorry state like a drowned rat. It was too much for the eyes to take in, and they could not react in time. At that moment, a few of his subordinates, who had been prepared to bootlick and applaud him, raised their hands and felt extremely awkward.
White smoke rose from Balor's back. Even from far away, they could smell the burnt smell. Balor's face darkened.
He had thought that the power of the lightning would increase after he entered the center of the attack area. However, he had not expected that the increase would be so great. It was 10 times stronger than before. How could he withstand it?
Perhaps he could withstand it if he used his true form and charged forward with all his might. However, that was only in theory. Who knew if there would be even more powerful attacks later? Pavaro and Gorst, his two old opponents, were watching from the side. How could he simply expose his trump cards for them to see clearly just for a few points? Furthermore, he had already charged forward once. After failing, he immediately used his true form to try again. Even if he succeeded, it would be embarrassing. However, if he failed, he would be even more humiliated.
The price was too high. Even with Balor's fiery temper, he forcefully resisted the urge to immediately charge forward again. His actions just now were not rash. This was because he had grasped one point. The illusory artifact's ability to prevent him from retreating was not that strong. At the very least, he could advance and retreat at will. That was why he had charged forward.
It seemed rash, but in reality, he had a way out. However, he had not succeeded.
Previously, when the lightning sparrow had failed, many people felt that they were stronger than him and might be able to succeed. However, now, even Blood Demon Balor had not managed to charge through half the distance. Who else dared to charge forward?
The surrounding Combat Cultivators were completely silent.
"Brother Balor, you have been a lightning bolt for everyone. You are very loyal," Gorst said with a smile. His words left a good impression on Balor.
Everyone knew that if they wanted to charge through the lightning array now, they had to completely grasp its patterns. The people before them were practically all going to benefit from it. Gorst's words made Balor feel much better.
There was nothing on Balor's face, but he was extremely happy in his heart. He waved his hand generously. "It's nothing. Someone has to go first!"
Many people looked at bone goblin Pavaro. Blood Demon Balor had already failed. If there was anyone else in the Combat Cultivation Hall who could succeed, it would definitely be him. However, over the past few days, Pavaro's entire body had been grey and was very different from his previous appearance of white bones. No one knew what had happened to him, but no one dared to ask him to step forward and risk his misfortune.
Pavaro was expressionless. What others thought was not important to him at all. Bone demons were a reclusive civilization.
If the three great experts did not move, the others would not move either. The surroundings instantly became very quiet. The Combat Cultivation Cultivators looked at each other, but the Titan supervisor Tsargesimon was unhappy.
"A bunch of trash. Does no one dare to charge through?"
The surroundings were as quiet as cicadas in winter. With Balor's lesson just now, everyone knew that they would definitely not be able to pass through this lightning area by force. The might of this artifact was very strong. No one made a sound. No one was willing to be the one to walk through the lightning.
"So f * cking useless." The Titan supervisor waved his large hand. Today's game was too boring. It was just a lightning area, and no one would die. Only two people had died, but they were so scared that no one dared to step forward. Were these pieces of trash worthy of staying in the Heavenly Gates? It was as if he was playing house with these young masters and young ladies.
"Since there's no one, let's go according to our student numbers!" The Titan supervisor was going to be unreasonable again. In reality, if no one stepped forward, it would be fine as long as their points were deducted. However, this was obviously not the supervisor's objective. His objective was to watch a large pile of black balls that had been struck into charcoal and then drink a mouthful of cool celestial grass tea. That would be a double enjoyment of ice and fire. "Damn, I can't deal with you …"
"Let me try." A voice sounded from the large group of people who had ashen expressions. In the tense scene, many people heaved a sigh of relief, especially those whose student numbers were closer to the front. They secretly patted their chests. It was better to die later than die earlier.
Everyone instantly turned to look. At this moment, someone actually dared to take the initiative to step forward. They did not know who wanted to be in the limelight, but when everyone clearly saw the person who had spoken, their expressions instantly stiffened.
It was that Earthling again!
There were so many people in the Combat Cultivation Hall. Could it be that there was no one capable? That was impossible. It was definitely not just the bone demon and the other two. However, the others understood the importance of keeping a low profile in the early stages. Those who stood out would be dealt with by their ancestors.
However, this person from a low-leveled civilization did not stay in a corner and was invisible. Instead, he kept stealing the limelight. He really did not know how to write the word "death" …
"Boss, don't be rash!" Over at the side, Jhonas almost peed his pants. He had wanted to hook up with the goblin beauty, Shannali. In any case, Boss was not interested in her, but he was. In the end, before he could hook up with her, Lao Wang had taken the initiative to step into the lightning array?! Damn, was there something wrong with his brain?
One could not blame Jhonas for being nervous. In the past, when he watched Lao Wang fight, he only felt that it was satisfying. However, now, Jhonas did not want to watch Lao Wang fight at all.
Pill refinery was so impressive. In the future, he could clearly rely on pill refinery to make a living and rely on pill refinery to make a living in the world. Why did he have to fight and take risks? Look at the pupils in the Pill Refinery Hall. Which one of them shouted about fighting and killing all day long? Those who shouted about fighting and killing were all low-class people! Furthermore, he was going to charge into this lightning array that had no benefits!
What if such an impressive pill refinery brain was struck dumb? Wang Zhong simply ignored him.
On the other hand, Shannali, who was beside him, revealed an extremely interested expression. She did not know that Lao Wang had refined a pile of Vitality Supplement Pills on his first try, but she had heard a lot about the reputation that Lao Wang had built up in the Combat Cultivation Hall. Furthermore, Shannali was very good at reading gazes. She could see the confidence in Lao Wang's eyes at one glance.
An arc appeared at the corner of Balor's mouth. The Blood Demon race had strong vitality and terrifying recovery abilities. He had personally experienced this and was very clear about the might of the thunderbolts. This Earthling wanted to cause trouble. He wanted to see how he would die!
Buzzing sounds filled the surroundings, and Wang Zhong completely treated them like flies. At that moment, he had already walked to the front of the lightning area and stood still. He looked forward, and his gaze continued to move, as if he was observing something. He was rather focused and did not care about the chattering around him.
At that moment, countless people focused their gazes on him. However, he did not explode with spiritual power like Balor, nor did he reveal his true form like the Natural race. Humans did not have so-called true forms … Instead, he quietly stood there and continued to observe.
"No matter how much I look, you won't be able to see anything."
"Coward, if you want to act cool, then act all the way! Are your legs weak now? "
"Are you going to fight or not? If you don't have the guts, don't shout blindly! " The surroundings were filled with scoldings. A small number of Pill Refiners and Weapon Refiners were rather interested. It was said that combat cultivation was the most powerful, and their reputation was well-deserved. However, there were so many Heavenly Gates, and there was no one like Wang Zhong who was isolated like this.
Small groups naturally attached themselves to large groups. The Heavenly Gates was a place where large groups fought for supremacy.
Wang Zhong's spiritual power burst forth and was maintained at a little over 100,000. This instantly caused a wave of laughter. With this spiritual power, he would be finished after being struck by a few lightning strikes. No one knew who gave him the guts to do this!
Zeng …
Wang Zhong's figure drifted into the lightning area. In an instant, bolts of lightning struck towards Wang Zhong. Wang Zhong seemed to have lost his weight as he swayed in the lightning. He was not in a hurry to charge forward. Instead, he focused all his attention on dodging. Although the lightning was ferocious, everyone present was an expert and had exceptional natural endowments. It was not impossible for them to dodge. More importantly … why did the lightning that Wang Zhong experienced not seem to be as ferocious as the previous two?
After a minute of thunder and lightning, Wang Zhong finally started to advance. Lightning balls blotted out the skies and covered the earth as they rumbled over. This time, everyone present felt that something was amiss. The might of these lightning balls was much weaker than before. What the hell was this?
