Nangong Mingzhu and the other five stood quietly on the altar, waiting for the final result. Everyone had different expressions on their faces. Some hoped that Mo Wen would pass, some hoped that Mo Wen would not.
The six of them did not speak because time would prove the final result. Before the final result came out, there was no point in saying anything.
Time passed bit by bit. The last seconds were getting shorter and shorter. The altar was silent. Mo Wen still had not appeared.
Gao Hanshan's breathing became heavy. A strange light flashed in his eyes. Mo Wen still had not appeared. Did that mean that he had persevered and was slowly approaching the last second?
Before this, no one had thought that Mo Wen would be able to persevere. Now that he knew about the Beast Tide, he also did not think that Mo Wen would be able to persevere.
However, a miracle seemed to be coming, and it was very likely to happen.
As long as Mo Wen did not appear on the altar before the last second arrived, did that not mean that he had already passed the task?
As time passed, the breathing of the six people on the altar quickened.
Nangong Mingzhu's eyes flickered. Could it be that Mo Wen would really be able to persevere to the end? But he had encountered a Pinnacle Beast King. How could he possibly survive? Chu Yuan would not lie about such a thing.
Chu Yuan and Bu Xingyi's expressions grew uglier and uglier. They were somewhat unwilling. How could Mo Wen possibly persevere?
Although the two of them also hoped to complete the double task, their hatred for Mo Wen overshadowed this thought. How could they be willing to see Mo Wen have the last laugh? Everyone had failed and only he had succeeded. Wasn't that a slap to their faces? Moreover, he had become the hero of all human ancient martial art practitioners.
Time passed and the last second finally passed. An entire day had passed since they had entered Beast King Island.
"Time's up."
Gao Hanshan let out a long sigh. A day had passed and Mo Wen had still not appeared. That meant that he had persevered to the end and had successfully passed the third stage.
Lan Zhongzhi and Tan Qiyue also let out long sighs of relief. Regardless of whether it was due to their efforts, as long as they could pass, it was naturally a good thing. No one wanted to fail the final task.
Only Chu Yuan and Bu Xingyi's expressions were extremely gloomy. They coldly snorted heavily.
"Just now, who said that Mo Wen would definitely not persevere to the end? Now, you should shut up," Tan Qiyue said coldly.
Tan Qiyue said coldly. He could not stand some people. Not only were they useless, but they were also targeting Mo Wen at every turn. They had a grudge against Mo Wen, so it was fine if they were targeting him. However, they actually did not distinguish between public and private matters, hoping that the third stage would fail completely.
"If there are no accidents, Mo Wen should have passed the third round."
Nangong Mingzhu nodded her head. Based on the time, Mo Wen had indeed persevered. Otherwise, he would have been teleported to this altar long ago.
"That might not be the case. Maybe something else happened along the way, or maybe Mo Wen is special and the Tower Spirit did not send him here."
Bu Xingyi said stubbornly. After all, he had completely fallen out with Mo Wen. At this time, he did not care about his pride anymore.
At this moment, no one paid any attention to Bu Xingyi. His words were too powerless. No one was in the mood to laugh at a person who was struggling on his deathbed.
"Hmm, that's not right. It's been fifteen minutes. Why hasn't Mo Wen come out yet?"
Lan Zhongzhi frowned slightly. Logically speaking, after Mo Wen passed the assessment, he should have been teleported here immediately. Why had he not appeared after fifteen minutes?
The others also felt that something was wrong. Since he had passed the test, he should have returned from the Beast King Island. Why hadn't he returned after such a long time?
Unknowingly, an hour had passed. Mo Wen still had not appeared.
"Ha, I said that something special must have happened. How could Mo Wen possibly have the ability to persevere until the end? That is something that even Lord Chu Yuan could not do. Moreover, he encountered a Pinnacle Beast King. It is even more impossible."
Bu Xingyi laughed out loud. Right now, he naturally thought that something must have happened to Mo Wen. That was why he had not appeared on the altar. Right now, he was especially carefree. After all, it was not Mo Wen who was the final hero. Everyone had failed. No one had anything to say, and no one could blame anyone else.
But if Mo Wen had really persevered until the end and become the first person, then if word of what had happened in the mission were to spread, Bu Xingyi's image would certainly be severely affected. After all, his performance in the mission was not very good. Moreover, Gao Hanshan had added fuel to the fire. The situation would only worsen.
Now that the mission had completely failed, no one had a reason to blame anyone else. If there was someone to blame, it should be everyone.
"Something must have happened to Mo Wen. Just now, didn't Lord Chu Yuan say that he encountered a Pinnacle Beast King? Perhaps a Pinnacle Beast King is different from other Beast Kings. Once eaten by a Pinnacle Beast King, it is possible that he will truly die. Mo Wen has not come out. Perhaps he has already died on Beast King Island, "Bu Xingyi said gloatingly.
He kept thinking of all kinds of possibilities in his mind. His greatest hope was that Mo Wen had completely died on Beast King Island and had no chance of resurrection.
The corner of Chu Yuan's mouth twitched, and his expression became unnatural. How different could a Pinnacle Beast King be from an ordinary Beast King? He had been chewed up by a Pinnacle Beast King and completely swallowed, leaving nothing behind. Didn't he resurrect in the end?
However, he naturally could not say such things out loud. He could only stand on the altar with a straight face, not saying a word.
Gao Hanshan and Nangong Mingzhu frowned. They also felt that something was amiss. An hour had passed. Why had Mo Wen not appeared yet?
Could it be that something had really happened?
A look of worry flashed in Gao Hanshan's eyes. Could it really be as Bu Xingyi had said and something had happened?
Just when everyone felt that something was wrong, a beam of light descended from the sky. Then, Mo Wen's figure appeared on the altar.
Dressed in white, he had an elegant demeanor and a warm smile. He walked out of the pillar of light just like that.
"Mo Wen, are you alright?"
A look of joy flashed in Gao Hanshan's eyes. Just now, he had been worried that something had happened to Mo Wen. In the end, Mo Wen had immediately appeared.
"What could have happened to me? Everything is fine," Mo Wen said with a smile.
Mo Wen said with a smile. What could possibly happen to him? Indeed, nothing had happened to him at all. Moreover, he was doing very well. He had obtained a superb-grade Unsealing Light and unsealed a superb-grade profound level weapon. His combat ability had undoubtedly more than doubled.
Even though he still did not know the power of the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear, he was certain that it was definitely not simple.
This time, he could be said to be the biggest winner of the double task. It was impossible for the others to have as many rewards as he had.
"Did you pass the task?"
Nangong Mingzhu asked, which was rare for her. For her, passing the task or not was the most important thing.
"I think so. I survived until the end."
Mo Wen nodded his head. The six people here had all died once on the Beast King Island. Only he had managed to survive.
"Really? That's great. "
A look of joy flashed in Gao Hanshan's eyes. As expected, Mo Wen had not let them down. He had successfully passed the task. To them, and even to the entire human ancient martial art practitioners, this was an extremely important matter.
If the seven of them had not completed the task in the end, even though the others could not say anything, it would certainly have a great impact on their reputation. After all, they were the Seven Great Warriors that had been selected. They had come to participate in this task on behalf of all humans.
"How did you escape the pursuit of a Pinnacle Beast King?"
A look of surprise flashed in Nangong Mingzhu's eyes. She looked at Mo Wen curiously. Before this, she had died at the hands of a Pinnacle Beast King, so she knew how terrifying it was. But Mo Wen had actually managed to escape from a Pinnacle Beast King. This was simply too unbelievable. It was frightening that even ordinary Martial Arts Grandmasters would not be able to do so.
However, she also breathed a sigh of relief that Mo Wen had passed the final task. At least he had not failed the task. Their efforts had not been in vain.
Upon hearing this, Mo Wen immediately smiled. His smile was very bright. As he smiled, he looked at Chu Yuan and kept smiling.
"Why are you looking at me?"
Chu Yuan's expression was gloomy. He looked at Mo Wen, baffled. Why was he smiling at him? What was he trying to do? Was he mocking him?
For Chu Yuan, his experience on the Beast King Island was an unforgettable humiliation. He had never imagined that he would lose to a youth. Moreover, he had lost so miserably. He had even lost his most beloved vampire.
As expected, after he was resurrected, he discovered that his Blood Ghost had been lost forever. It was impossible to find it again. The treasure that he had cultivated for hundreds of years had been completely lost in an instant. One could imagine the disappointment he felt.
If Chu Yuan had not known that he was no match for Mo Wen right now, he most likely would have pounced on him and fought him to the death. But now, he could only endure. When the opportunity arose, he would definitely make Mo Wen beg for death.
Bu Xingyi looked at Mo Wen with a similarly gloomy gaze. However, his gaze was evasive and fearful. Indeed, he was still afraid of Mo Wen. Even though he did not want to admit it, it was the truth. At least in this space, Mo Wen had the ability to kill him. Also, the scene of Mo Wen grabbing him and throwing him into the Beast King's mouth had left a shadow in his heart that was difficult to erase.
"Do you want to know how I escaped the pursuit of a Pinnacle Beast King?"
Mo Wen asked playfully as he looked at Nangong Mingzhu.
"Of course. Don't keep me in suspense. I am indeed very curious." Nangong Mingzhu nodded her head. If it had been a normal matter, she would not have bothered to answer Mo Wen's question. But not long ago, she had died at the hands of a Pinnacle Beast King. No matter how hard she tried, she could not escape from the Pinnacle Beast King. In the end, she had no choice but to commit suicide. Compared to being eaten by a Beast King, she would rather commit suicide.
It was not just Nangong Mingzhu. When Mo Wen said this, almost everyone looked over curiously. Gao Hanshan, Tan Qiyue, and the others were also very curious. How had Mo Wen escaped from such a terrifying Pinnacle Beast King? It seemed impossible.
"Regarding this, I first have to thank Bu Xingyi and Chu Yuan. If it were not for their contributions, I don't think I would have been able to last until the end."
Mo Wen looked at Bu Xingyi and Chu Yuan. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. (To be continued.)
