When the time was up, the mentors retreated behind the scenes, and the challenge officially began. The higher-ups wanted to create chaos among the lower ranks so that they would have more combat power. The new Empire should be able to perform well.
According to the rules, any newcomer who wanted to challenge could stand in the ring and challenge any of the ring masters. Of course, those who were too weak had better not come out. It was a small matter to be embarrassed. The key was that there was a clear rule for this challenge, and that was, life and death were not allowed.
Unless one party took the initiative to surrender and clearly expressed their intention to surrender, your opponent could directly crush you without worrying about any trouble. If you were too weak, you really wouldn't even have the chance to call for help. It wasn't easy to become a Holy Disciple, and you wouldn't lose your life here before you even finished a day.
This was also to prevent some weak newcomers from wasting everyone's time. Moreover, each ring master only had three chances to be challenged.
Everyone was looking forward to the start of the first round, but there was no movement on the round platform in the center.
No one was a fool. Even if they succeeded in the challenge, they would still have to face three challenges from others. If they came out too early, they would become the target of public criticism. It was definitely not a wise choice.
"Today's focus is still on Solomon, Carolyn, and Hyde. These three should have a few exciting performances."
There were people in the stands who had done their homework and had an understanding of the current situation in the Holy City.
"Who dares to challenge these strongest people? Didn't I hear that they were only targeting those few second-class apprentices? "
"That's too superficial. If they had just entered the Holy Land, it would have been fine. At that time, weren't Solomon and Carolyn a couple? But look at them now. How long has it been since they appeared in the news? Hehe, especially since the Federation and the Empire are competitors now. They will definitely undermine each other. How can they let the other party sit comfortably until the end? "
"Then why haven't they gone up yet?"
"If these three people were to attack each other, they would definitely be extremely powerful and not give the other party a chance to breathe. Of course, they have to be precise. Ha, even if they fight now, it will only be a fun match. "
"What do you mean by a fun match, brother?"
That person pouted and said, "Look, isn't he here now?"
"I challenge the champion of the seventh arena …" A bald Tyrants newcomer, who looked rather bold and unrestrained, jumped onto the arena. His muscles were quite beautiful, but before he could finish his words, a gray shadow had already swept over from below the arena. A seemingly ordinary flying kick accurately hit the back of the bald man's head.
Poof!
With a soft sound, the halo exploded and a strange force erupted, sending the bald man's huge body flying off the stage. After being kicked away by the skinny figure, the bald man fainted on the side of the stage and lay there for a long time, unable to get up.
Arena number 7. Wasn't that a challenge to Wang Zhong? This was the exciting match that everyone had been waiting for. However, who was it that had jumped out to mess things up?
There was an uproar in the spectator stands. However, he was a Tyrants' physique tempering expert and an official Holy Disciple who had passed the rank-advancement competition. Although he used to be an old Holy Disciple, he had been knocked unconscious so easily. This was definitely not because he was too weak, but because his opponent was a little too strong.
The green figure slowly stood up on the arena.
He wasn't very tall, but he carried a big sword on his back that looked almost taller than him. He looked very ordinary, and he was the kind of person that you would hardly recognize if he was thrown into a crowd of people.
Gui Hao, who was below the arena, had a faint smile on his face. He had waited for this day for a long time, and he didn't want to waste his time on trash. Gui Hao knew that he didn't have Carolyn's confidence, so he had to establish his dominance. Otherwise, he wouldn't have a good time in the future. His family had given him resources, so he had to see the results.
Han Renqing was a veteran of the Federation. With the support of the Gui Family, he had qualified for the Holy Disciple Competition and successfully advanced to the next round. Now was the time to repay his debt. The other party wanted to teach Wang Zhong a good lesson. As an old man who had climbed up from the bottom of the Holy Land, provoking him was naturally a piece of cake. He curled his finger at Wang Zhong contemptuously.
… There was no movement. Wang Zhong looked at him calmly, with an innocent look on his face. There was no reaction at all.
Han Renqing's arm hung in the air in a slightly awkward manner, causing the entire audience to burst into laughter. Han Renqing's expression turned slightly cold. Although his 3 years as an apprentice wasn't a long time, it had already worn away quite a few of his sharp edges. He had heard too many words like 'idiot' and 'idiot'. Now that the Gui Family had extended an olive branch to him, he would definitely grab it. Anyone who obstructed his path would die!
A wave of Soul Power rippled from his body, and it was as if there was a circle of invisible airflow circulating around him. It formed a sound of wind pressure and caused the ground to rustle.
"Wang Zhong!" he shouted coldly. "Get down here! I challenge you! "
"Oh, you're challenging me." Wang Zhong suddenly understood and stood up. He chuckled and added, "I was wondering why you were standing there … You should have said so earlier."
There was a smile at the corner of Wang Zhong's mouth. Although he wanted to keep a low profile, it was obvious that his opponent wasn't going to give him the chance to do so. Forget it, he still had to teach him a lesson. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to relax in the future.
Han Renqing's expression was a little cold. He slowly pulled out the greatsword on his back, and a powerful Soul Power aura suddenly spread out from his body. The wind pressure that he had formed earlier disappeared instantly, and it turned into spiraling air patterns that floated around his body.
"Chaser Dharma Idol?" Marie Ji's eyes lit up slightly. "That's quite a rare thing."
"It's just a rare thing. Dharma Idols with amplification types are usually used to support teams, but they have limited use in duels." Lan Daier, who was standing at the side, seemed to be a little disdainful.
Marie Ji smiled and said, "You think so highly of your little worker?"
"I've been working for a few months. I'm an old worker."
"Is that your old worker?" Marie Ji held back her laughter.
"Old … Ah … What are you talking about, you naughty girl!" Lan Daier glared at her angrily, but there was a smile at the corner of her mouth.
"One, two, three, four … 16 chasers. This Han Renqing's Dharma Idol isn't bad." Some people in the spectator stands looked more closely. Although chaser Dharma Idols were rare, they weren't considered high-end in the Holy City. However, as a type of support Dharma Idol, they were very useful in a team.
"I think he used to have a Wind Spirit Dharma Idol. Dharma Idols are basically fixed. How can a lousy Apprentice evolve his Dharma Idol? He's really lucky."
The discussions in the spectator stands continued. On the stage, Han Renqing was already ready. His chaser Dharma Idol wasn't suitable for duels, but it depended on who his opponent was. Although Han Renqing had been training as an Old Apprentice for more than a year, he was now at the Peak Heroic Soul Stage. Coupled with his chaser Dharma Idol, even a normal attack would have astonishing speed and power.
At this time, the 16 chasers of his Dharma Idol were slowly rotating around him. There was a vague feeling that they were forming a formation, making people feel as if the dozen chasers had turned into a halo of wind spirits that were protecting and blessing him. His body was as light as a feather, but his gaze and sword were as sharp as a wind blade, emitting a shocking chill.
"A chaser Dharma Idol that can form a formation!"
"This is interesting. Old Apprentices are usually very strong in combat. This Wang Zhong seems to have advanced by relying on his talent in alchemy. He's going to be in trouble this time."
"Did this Han Renqing join any exploration teams?"
If the people in the spectator stands were just a little emotional when they saw the chaser Dharma Idol, they were a little envious now, especially those from some exploration teams. This kind of support-type warrior was definitely a role that any exploration team would welcome, let alone a chaser Dharma Idol that could form a formation.
A smile finally appeared at the corner of Han Renqing's mouth. With the help of the wind, he could completely hear the messy discussions in the spectator stands. He had been ignored for too long, and he needed this feeling to regain some of his former self.
Wang Zhong seemed to have been scared silly by him. He stood there and didn't dare to move at all. Hehe, that's right. He wasn't the main point at all. Han Renqing's Dharma Idol was just a show to everyone. He yearned for recognition and everyone to pay attention to his voice. He …
"I'm ready." All of a sudden, a chuckle sounded from the opposite side. "Here I come."
What?
Han Renqing was slightly stunned. He looked at Wang Zhong, who was still standing there and didn't seem to have any intention of moving.
Are you kidding me?
But in the next second, a cluster of flames had already started burning in the air in front of him.
There was a distance of more than ten meters between them, but the surging fire element came so quickly and suddenly that it took shape in front of him in an instant. It was as if the Dharma Idol had solidified right in front of him. But before the Dharma Idol could completely solidify, a flaming palm had already reached out and viciously grabbed his neck.
Han Renqing's reaction wasn't slow. He had rich combat experience and didn't panic in the face of this sudden attack. Instead, he leaned back slightly and dodged the flaming palm by a hair's breadth. Then, he waved the sword in his hand, and a strong vortex of air currents appeared out of nowhere. Even the hard ground was instantly drilled by the power of the tornado. The flaming Dharma Idol obviously didn't have any resistance. Like a phantom, it was directly blown away and turned into countless sparks that drifted in the air.
"So weak!"
"You scared me. What the hell?" The spectator stands burst into laughter.
Using a Dharma Idol was a huge consumption and burden for any Heroic Soul. It was usually reserved as a trump card to be used in conjunction with the Soul Domination Skill. It was rare to see someone in the Holy Land who used a Dharma Idol right from the start and was so useless. It was no wonder that Wang Zhong was called trash.
Han Renqing showed a hint of anger on his face. He was just shocked by the sudden appearance of the Dharma Idol. Wang Zhong was actually able to control the Dharma Idol to such a far position and appear in an instant … But anyone with a brain would know that a Dharma Idol that appeared in an instant would never be able to launch any powerful attacks. What was there to be afraid of? He was so embarrassed that he was even scared of his attack.
"Bastard …"
Han Renqing flew into a rage out of humiliation, but before he could say the word 'bastard', the Salamander in the air condensed again. As Wang Zhong's power increased, his control over his Soul Body also became stronger. Sensing Wang Zhong's fighting spirit, the Salamander struck out with both hands in the next second.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM ~ ~ ~
Countless flaming sword lights accompanied by an unparalleled momentum. There was no pattern to it at all, and it was purely tyrannical as it slashed down from the sky. In just an instant, the position where Han Renqing was standing was completely shrouded. Hundreds of flaming Soul Power Peak Heroic Soul Stage attacks were launched in an instant, and he did not stop at all.
The entire process only took a few dozen seconds. When the flames dissipated, Han Renqing was already curled up like a dead dog, motionless. His entire body was charred black, and he was on the verge of death.
The laughter from the audience stopped abruptly. … What kind of Dharma Idol was this? What kind of power was this?
How was this a Dharma Idol? It was simply an enhanced version of the Heroic Soul Flaming Warrior!
Salamander floated calmly in the air. Obviously, the previous round of attacks did not cause any damage to him. As Wang Zhong's main body, his Soul Power could continuously support his attacks. The depth of Wang Zhong's Soul Sea was incomparable to that of a frog at the bottom of a well.
This time, Wang Zhong did not tease him. He just watched quietly and enjoyed the silence. Compared to the noise, he preferred this kind of feeling.
At this moment, even a pig would know that Wang Zhong's Dharma Idol was not to be underestimated. Furthermore, it was an exotic Dharma Idol. This kind of Dharma Idol had the ability to fight for a long time and was almost immortal. It was the dream of every Heroic Soul soldier. As long as one had enough Soul Power, they would be invincible.
A few lonely voices sounded excitedly from the spectator stands. "Hoho, Vice-captain is mighty!"
"Go on, go on! Another one! "
"Haha, it's only a matter of time before I pay off my debt!"
The huge spectator stands were quiet, and only these few voices sounded particularly ear-piercing. They were obviously the members of the Wanderlust Team, but at this moment, most people were not in the mood to care about them.
In the gradually dissipating smoke, the half-dead Han Renqing was lying motionless on the ground, and the flaming Dharma Idol that had just appeared had also disappeared without a trace.
There was a strange atmosphere at the scene, and it seemed that no one was willing to accept reality. Many people were whispering to each other. Carolyn's phoenix-like eyes sparkled. Interesting. There was only one possibility for such a Dharma Idol. How did he get it? Gui Hao's expression was rather gloomy.
He did not expect it to be another scam. However, this was good too. Han Renqing had already played his role. He had guessed that Wang Zhong would have some tricks up his sleeve, but he did not expect it to be a strange Dharma Idol. However, the previous round of attacks was probably the limit of this Dharma Idol. Now was the time for him to end this farce. He would kill Wang Zhong and put an end to the past. From now on, he would be the new Gui Hao!
"Wang Zhong, let's put an end to this."
Just like what Gui Hao had said, it was time to put an end to this. Regardless of whether it was in the past or now, this person was like a haunting ghost. This was a rare opportunity. He could not let the Gui Family go on a rampage. He had to launch an attack. Blindly retreating and defending would only make the enemy more unscrupulous. Furthermore, he could attract hatred through himself and lessen the pressure on Ma Dong from Earth.
The same thought appeared in Gui Hao's mind. He would get back up from where he had fallen. As long as Wang Zhong was alive, he would be the loser and had to die!
Gui Hao's thoughts fluctuated violently. He stared fiercely at Wang Zhong, and a wave of excitement, as well as an uncontrollable ferocious and vicious aura, emanated from his body.
Bang!
It was as if something had exploded in the arena. A violent airflow surged and filled the entire arena in an instant, causing sand and stones to fly!
Soul Power! What felt like an inexhaustible amount of soul power overflowed from Gui Hao's body. Even the clouds in the sky were instantly turned into vortexes by his soul power. Dark clouds gathered in the surroundings, causing the sky to darken by quite a bit. It was as though the entire world was converging towards his body!
This … This was a phenomenon that would only appear when a Heavenly Soul expert activated the power of the heaven and the earth??? How could it appear on a Heroic Soul? This … couldn't be real, right?
There were cries of surprise in the stands. Not only were they shocked by the visual effects of the phenomenon, but also by the violent airflow of Soul Power that emanated from Gui Hao's body. It was so powerful that even the audience in the stands could feel the pressure.
"He can actually activate the power of the heaven and the earth?" A hint of interest finally flashed in Enoch's small eyes as he stared at Gui Hao in high spirits.
"You think too much." Beside him, Solomon smiled. "Regardless of whether it's a Heroic Soul or a broader range of humans, the limit of their Soul Power is around 10,000 Grassos. Occasionally, there will be a few special cases where the upper limit is especially high. It's just to scare people, but in reality, the difference isn't that exaggerated."
Firmament Soul Sea!
It was a super talent that was rare in the Casted Soul Stage and could be used in the Heroic Soul Stage. It was an innate talent that penetrated the essence of the Soul Sea. With the phenomenon in the sky, Gui Hao's Soul Power reaction also continued to increase rapidly.
9,000, 10,000, 11,000, 12,000!
Gui Hao stood proudly in the center of the arena and spread his hands, as if he was welcoming the arrival of this super power. He didn't use any techniques, but the release of his Soul Power had already reached 12,000 Grassos. He had sacrificed 20 years of his life in exchange for this. Basically, it was impossible for him to break through the bottleneck of the Heavenly Soul Stage. However, this didn't matter. As long as he had power, who cared about the future!
Intense Soul Power wind pressure condensed in the center of the arena and blew wildly in all directions, causing the corners of Wang Zhong's clothes to flutter.
The audience was excited. Although they had heard of this, they didn't expect such a Heroic Soul soldier to exist. This upper limit meant that there were more possibilities, and he could even use some more powerful techniques. Other than a few people on the surface, there were still hidden experts in this batch. Among the early Holy Disciples, the difference in Soul Power was overwhelming.
"Damn, are the newcomers so ruthless now?" Even the people from the Wanderlust Team couldn't stay calm. It was one thing to have confidence in Wang Zhong, but it was another to complain. Furthermore, Gui Hao's overflowing Soul Power made people feel as if they were facing a big boss in a secret realm. It was hard not to be dumbfounded.
"I've been in the Holy City for three years …" Asher was a little dejected. He was still stuck at the bottleneck between the Middle Phase and the Peak Phase of the Heroic Soul Stage. Look at how Gui Hao had reached the Peak Phase in half a year. Sometimes, comparing oneself to others was really frustrating.
"You guys are so calm!" Sharmie's eyes widened. "Don't you think that Gui Hao's aura has already overwhelmed Lao Wang? Aren't you guys worried? "
"What's there to worry about?" Small Eyes slapped Sharmie's butt and said with a smile, "Vice-captain isn't human at all …"
"Senior — Senior Sister!" Mario's eyes widened. "Can you not tease my Mi?!"
