Mo Wen dashed into the lotus lake. A huge pressure descended from the sky. There was indeed a frightening gravitational force in the sky. The strength of the gravitational force was far above that of the underground river from before.
With such a gravitational force, flying was even more difficult. One would plunge into the lotus lake after just a few steps. Hence, everyone stepped on the lotus leaves and used the upward force to move forward with difficulty.
Mo Wen discovered that other than the formless gravitational force, the pouring rain was also not ordinary rain. Every raindrop that landed on his body felt like a boulder had smashed into his body. The densely packed raindrops felt like he was being bombarded by countless boulders.
This kind of pressure was still within Mo Wen's tolerance range. It did not exceed the limit. If it was only at this level, then with his ability, walking to the end of the lotus lake would not be a difficult task.
Most of the people here could even use some special methods and magical treasures to walk to the end of the lotus lake.
However, after taking a few steps forward, he suddenly discovered that the further he went, the greater the pressure. Regardless of whether it was the gravitational force or the impact of the falling rain, both were getting more and more exaggerated.
Rumble!
There was a roar in the sky. A glaring bolt of white lightning swooped down and struck Mo Wen's body viciously.
Mo Wen did not use any techniques to block it because he discovered that the power of the lightning was not very strong. It was still within the tolerance range of his physical strength. His physical strength was astonishing. Even a beginning stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner would find it difficult to break through his defense.
Strings of lightning leaped on Mo Wen's body. After a while, they slowly disappeared. Mo Wen seemed to be unaffected. He continued forward. After walking only a hundred meters, Mo Wen discovered that the pressure he endured had actually doubled compared to before. Fortunately, there were many lotus leaves in the lotus lake that could bear much of the weight. Otherwise, many people would most likely not even be able to walk a hundred meters.
Bolts of lightning struck down from the sky and ferociously struck Mo Wen's body. He discovered that the further forward he went, the stronger the power of the lightning. However, the range of the increase was very small. Otherwise, he would doubt whether he could walk five hundred meters.
Mo Wen still did not block the lightning, allowing it to strike his body. His body was strong enough and could withstand the power of the lightning. Also, after going through the baptism of the lightning, his body would undoubtedly improve further, which was actually beneficial to him.
The surrounding youths tried their best to resist the terrifying gravity while doing their best to resist the power of the lightning that struck down from the sky.
When they saw that Mo Wen actually did not dodge and allowed the lightning to strike him, they were all dumbfounded.
Using his physical body to withstand the lightning, this young man was a little too terrifying!
Many people recognized Mo Wen. He was the youth who had sent Gong Zhangyan flying with a slap on the altar. Right now, when they saw that the youth was so valiant, they drew in a cold breath. This once again confirmed their previous guess. This youth could compete with the top group of young geniuses in the ancient martial art world.
"That youth is indeed terrifying. I just don't know why he purposely lagged behind. Given his ability, even if he doesn't come first, he shouldn't be too far behind Hao Qian and Hou Jingfeng. But now, why is he almost the same as me? How strange! "
A young ancient martial art practitioner said, puzzled. Mo Wen's condition could clearly be better. Why was he lagging behind? The further one walked in the Fighting Spirit Tower's test, the more benefits one would receive.
Mo Wen did not walk quickly. His pace was very even. His position was only in the middle and last half of all the ancient martial art practitioners. In front of him, there were at least seven or eight people. Even Gong Zhangyan and Pei Fengwu were in front of him.
It was not that Mo Wen could not go faster, but he knew that passing the lotus lake was definitely not as easy as he imagined. Right now, he had to conserve a little more energy. When the pressure grew, he would sprint with all his might.
The end of the lotus lake was about a thousand meters away. But when he reached 300 meters, Mo Wen felt that the pressure had doubled again. Right now, his body's endurance had almost reached its limit. If he did not use some special techniques, it would be almost impossible for him to continue forward.
After walking another 50 meters, there was a soft splash. A young ancient martial art practitioner could no longer hold on and fell into the lotus lake. He was eliminated from the preliminary. A light flashed and the young man was swept away.
Mo Wen took a deep breath. With a flick of his wrist, five golden copper hoops appeared around him. The next moment, the Five Beasts transformed and surrounded him, forming a golden light shroud. The lightning that struck down from the sky crashed into the golden light shroud and was immediately repelled.
The spiritual stone in his hand disappeared. The straw cape draped over his body turned into a cloud of smoke, causing Mo Wen's entire body to float.
The next moment, there was a flash of light. Mo Wen suddenly sped up, moving a few meters in a flash. In just a moment, he had overtaken four or five people, reaching the fourth position among all the young ancient martial art practitioners. Even Jin Ying and Pei Fengwu had been left behind by him.
After walking another 100 meters, four people had already fallen into the lake, completely losing the right to take the test.
Right now, Mo Wen had already reached the third position. There were only two people in front of him: Hao Qian of the Haokun Sect and Hou Jingfeng of the Ming Temple.
The burly young man who had been the first to enter the lake had fallen to the fourth position. Only Gong Zhangyan was about the same position as him.
"I can't hold on anymore …"
Pei Fengwu bit her lip. Her face was pale and her body trembled continuously. The formless pressure seemed to be crushing her into pieces. She had already used all her strength and all her techniques when she had walked more than 500 meters. However, it was still difficult for her to persevere.
She sighed. She staggered and fell directly into the lotus lake.
500 meters. She had at least reached the minimum standard of the Fighting Spirit Tower. Those who could surpass 500 meters would be rewarded accordingly. She had succeeded in entering the lake this time.
Just as Pei Fengwu was about to fall into the lotus lake, a golden light suddenly lit up in front of her. The golden light transformed into a golden chain, wrapping around Pei Fengwu's slender waist. The next moment, the golden chain rebounded and pulled back violently, throwing Pei Fengwu into the air.
Fifty meters in front of her, Mo Wen's body shook. His face was slightly pale. Half of his leg had sunk into the lake and he had almost completely fallen into it.
In his hand, he was holding a golden chain. It was one of the chains that had transformed from the Five Beast Hoops.
The golden chain that had extended towards Pei Fengwu just now was naturally his doing. At the crucial moment, he had lent her a helping hand.
However, this was all he could help her with. He could not help her with anything else. Otherwise, he would not have been able to cross the lotus lake.
Pei Fengwu's silhouette was thrown into the air. Then, she suddenly flew forward 60 to 70 meters before crashing into the lake.
The moment she fell into the lake, she seemed to wake up from a dream. She looked at Mo Wen gratefully. Then, there was a flash of light and Pei Fengwu was completely swept away by a beam of light. She was out of the preliminary.
On the surface, the result had not changed. Pei Fengwu was still out of the preliminary. However, at the last moment, she had flown forward 60 to 70 meters, even surpassing the distance that Mo Wen had covered. Compared to before, the reward for obtaining the Fighting Spirit Tower would certainly be different.
Under normal circumstances, Mo Wen's pull would have easily thrown Pei Fengwu a few kilometers away. However, in such an environment, flying 60 to 70 meters was already his limit. For this, Mo Wen had even expended enough energy for him to walk another 100 meters. It was too difficult to throw someone away in such an environment.
Pei Fengwu had appeared to protect him several times. That was why he had risked his life to help her. It could be considered as returning the favor.
Behind Mo Wen, Gong Zhangyan and the burly youth both sucked in a cold breath. They looked at Mo Wen in shock. Under such circumstances, Mo Wen had actually been able to help her. It was simply beyond everyone's expectations.
In the current situation, helping others was definitely an act of seeking death. That was because they had almost reached their limits when they had reached this position. It was like walking on a tightrope. Any mistake and they would fall off a cliff.
For Mo Wen to have helped, not only was his action bold, but the price he had to pay was also very high. The fact that he could guarantee that he would be unharmed meant that he still had some strength left.
Even Hao Qian, who was walking at the front, turned to look at Mo Wen in surprise. A serious look flashed in his eyes. As for Hou Jingfeng, he continued to walk forward with his head lowered. However, the look in his eyes had become even more sullen.
Gong Zhangyan bit his lip tightly. His expression kept changing. He had not expected that Mo Wen would actually disregard his own safety to help Pei Fengwu. He had not done this. He believed that he was the person who loved Pei Fengwu the most. However, compared to Mo Wen, he was clearly lacking.
"Mo Wen, you ungrateful b * stard!"
Jun Wulei, who was almost at the back, shouted. He looked at Mo Wen with grief and indignation. Then, he fell into the lake with a splash. Mo Wen had helped Pei Fengwu, allowing her to walk another 60 to 70 meters. However, he could not hold on any longer. However, he did not see Mo Wen helping him. He immediately felt indignant.
There was a flash of light and Jun Wulei's silhouette was turned away.
Mo Wen rolled his eyes and continued to walk forward expressionlessly. It was as if he had not heard Jun Wulei's indignant voice.
"Mo Wen, I am the person who loves Pei Fengwu the most. You deserve to die."
Gong Zhangyan's expression was contorted. He roared in his heart. The next moment, he suddenly did something that no one had expected.
There was a flash of emerald green light and a long jade flute appeared in Gong Zhangyan's hand. The next moment, the long jade flute shone brightly like a brilliant emerald sun.
Gong Zhangyan actually stopped resisting the pressure from the sky. Instead, he channeled all his power into the long jade flute.
The next moment, the long jade flute let out a cry. Then, it suddenly turned into a beam of emerald green light and flashed out. An emerald green dragon-shaped illusion appeared around the long jade flute. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws as it pounced towards Mo Wen.
"You are seeking death!"
A mass of golden light suddenly lit up in Mo Wen's eyes. They were like two golden suns. His eyes were filled with anger. (To be continued.)
