"Repair?"
Looking at the rubble on the ground, Hong Shi's body stiffened, and he nearly fainted on the spot.
You only tore down a wall and a corridor, and I can still repair them. But with such a state, how am I supposed to repair it?
Repair your head!
It's just a trial. If I can get out, so be it. If not, it's nothing much... Just how in the world did my Ghost Domain Illusory City offend you for you to tear it down to such a state?
Besides, how many minutes has it been? Two minutes? Or three minutes?
In such a short period of time, even I would find it hard to reach the center... How in the world did you destroy it?
Hong Shi felt his heart twitching, and he was on the verge of going insane.
"As expected..."
Contrary to Hong Shi's frenzy, Pavilion Master Kang and the others slapped their foreheads simultaneously.
They had guessed that Zhang Shi would cause some sort of trouble, but now that they saw it... they realized that they had underestimated it. He was intending to ruin the Master Teacher Tournament!
The greatest crux of the test was the Ghost Domain Illusory City. Now that the city had collapsed, how in the world was he supposed to continue the test?
Walk your own path, leaving no path for others to tread. Challenge your own trial, leaving no path for others to tread!
Zhang Shi... Aren't you a little too ferocious!
While everyone was speechless, Liao Wuzhi recovered from his shock, and his body staggered.
When Ruohuan gongzi said that he was worried that the Ghost Domain Illusory City would be in danger, he thought that it was a joke. But from the looks of it now... it was true!
In less than three minutes, he had already demolished the other party's castle...
I get it, you aren't a master teacher but a demolisher, right?
Under the gazes of the crowd, Zhang Xuan patted the dust off his body helplessly.
All he wanted to do was to stop the formation and walk out. But... why was such a simple wish so difficult to fulfill?
"Repair... It's impossible to repair it!"
Even though Hong Shi's heart was bleeding and he was on the verge of fainting from anger, he still managed to recover swiftly.
No matter what, the other party was Yang shi's student, and it wasn't like he did it on purpose. Thus, he couldn't go too far.
Even though his heart ached for the Ghost Domain Illusory City, since it had already collapsed, there was nothing he could do about it. Thus, he could only swallow his grievances and accept his bad luck.
But … if the first person was already in such a state, how were the others supposed to take the test?
The other master teachers also turned their gazes over.
"Since the Ghost Domain Illusory City has been destroyed, the temperament test... let's put it aside for now. Next, we will test your courage!" Hong Shi said with clenched teeth.
There were four stages in the preliminaries. Even though the loss of one stage had some impact, it was still within their control.
"A test of courage?"
"How do I test this?"
Everyone recovered from the shock when they heard that the next round of assessment was about to begin.
"I believe there's no need for me to explain the meaning behind Kong Shi establishing the master teacher occupation. I believe everyone here should understand!"
Hong Shi said.
"In order to make mankind stronger, we will be able to better fend off the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe and the calamity!" a master teacher said.
Kong Shi's original intention of establishing the Master Teacher Academy was to make everyone a dragon. Only by becoming stronger would they be able to prosper and prosper, allowing the entire race to flourish.
"Indeed. Tens of thousands of years ago, the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe invaded mankind, plunging the world into misery. In order to save mankind from the calamity, Kong Shi created the master teacher occupation. After tens of thousands of years of development, the master teacher occupation has reached unprecedented heights!"
Hong Shi nodded. Then, he turned to the crowd and said, "The test of courage is simple. You will have to carry out your responsibilities as a master teacher and face... the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe alone!"
"Otherworldly Demonic Tribe?"
"Isn't that race extinct? Are there still some of them alive? "
Everyone was stunned.
The Otherworldly Demonic Tribe had been driven out by Kong Shi several tens of thousands of years ago, and they had vanished from the face of the Master Teacher Continent.
"The Otherworldly Demonic Tribe was indeed driven out ten thousand years ago, but... there are still some of them alive on the Master Teacher Continent. They disguise themselves as humans and hide among the crowd!"
Hong Shi said with a grim frown.
Hula!
Behind him, another part of the round platform that was shrouded in mist was revealed. It was a huge stone house.
Even though the door was tightly shut, one could still feel an intense killing intent and powerful aura emanating from within. It felt as though anyone who approached would be torn to shreds.
"What a ferocious aura. Could it be that... the one in the stone hut is... an Otherworldly Demon?"
"I've heard that the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe is known for their ferocious nature. They treat humans as ants and slaughter them... The killing intent they emanate is so intense that ordinary humans wouldn't even be able to withstand it. Putting aside killing them, they would probably faint on the spot!"
"Even through the stone hut, they are already able to frighten us. How powerful must they be?"
...
Sensing the aura emanating from the stone hut, everyone's face warped in shock.
Too fearsome!
Those who were standing near the round platform were all 4-star master teachers... Yet, even before opening the door, they could already feel the killing intent emanating from the stone hut. Just how powerful must the Otherworldly Demon trapped within be?
"The Otherworldly Demonic Tribe is cruel and cunning. Not only do they kill, they even devour their own kin in order to grow stronger! In their eyes, humans are nothing more than lowly lifeforms, prey! "
Hong Shi harrumphed. "This fellow has been hiding within Hongfeng Empire and has killed at least several thousand innocent humans. It took me three whole years before I managed to capture him.
"Even though I have sealed his root bone with the Golden Soul Lock, rendering him unable to utilize his strength or fight, he is still able to exert immense pressure on one's soul, inducing the deepest fear in one's heart. Putting aside 4-star pinnacle master teachers, even half 5-star experts wouldn't dare to face him head-on."
It was just like how a human would encounter a tiger. Even if the other party didn't move, the human would still feel his legs weakening.
This was a test of one's courage.
"If one doesn't even have the strength to approach the tiger, how can one possibly succeed? If a master teacher doesn't dare to approach the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, it doesn't matter how high the test is! "
"The test of courage is very simple. You just have to sit before him, and whoever is the closest to him will be the most courageous. The limit is five meters, and those who are unable to approach him will fail the test."
Waving his hand grandly, Hong shi flicked his finger.
Huala!
The walls of the stone hut immediately burst open, and a three-meter tall savage beast that resembled a giant appeared before everyone.
Hong long!
The appearance of the beast caused a violent aura to spread into the surroundings. Before the audience could even process what was going on, they suddenly felt their heads spinning, and their vision darkened as they fainted from fright.
They weren't the only ones. Even the faces of Song Chao and the others on the stage paled, and their lips turned purple.
The Otherworldly Demonic Tribe had enslaved mankind. If not for Kong Shi appearing out of nowhere and creating the Master Teacher Occupation to drive them away, the entire Master Teacher Continent would have succumbed to their tyranny.
This was the first time they were seeing such a sight, and the impact it had on their hearts wasn't something that any ordinary person could withstand.
"This is the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe?"
Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up.
The fellow before him was reminiscent of a savage beast. His entire body reeked of blood, and it felt as if one would be torn apart if one were to approach him.
Putting aside others, even he would find it difficult to approach five meters from him.
"Fearsome!"
It was no wonder Mingshi Tang dared not let his guard down even after the disappearance of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe for several dozen millenniums.
"He's currently trapped and unable to move. You all can approach him now. The time limit is half an incense's time. If you can't get within five meters of him, it will be considered a failure!"
Without any hesitation, Hong Shi lit up an incense and waved his hand. "Begin!"
Hearing the start of the countdown, the faces of the crowd on the stage immediately turned grim as they walked toward the massive beast.
Zhang Xuan followed closely behind. However, barely after taking a step forward, his face warped in shock.
He took a step forward, but the pressure he felt increased twofold. The ferocious killing intent left his legs weak, making it difficult for him to advance any further.
He turned around to look at the others, and they didn't seem to be faring much better than him. Their foreheads were drenched in sweat, and their faces were pale.
He took another step forward, and the pressure he felt intensified. It felt as if he was a small boat that had fallen into a raging storm, battered by a massive wave, threatening to sink at any moment. At the same time, he felt as if he was standing at the edge of a cliff, and if he were to take a single step forward, he would fall into the depths of hell.
"At this... Putting aside five meters, even ten meters would be difficult!"
He had thought that it would be an easy test, but who could have thought that it would be so fearsome?
Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for even him to get within ten meters of the massive beast, needless to say, five meters.
By this point, there were only ten people left standing beside him.
"Let me try driving my zhenqi!"
Advancing forward once more, Zhang Xuan felt as if he was on the verge of collapsing.
Even though he was advancing forward, he didn't drive his zhenqi. He wanted to see how long he could last, but to his astonishment, he realized that four steps was already his limit.
Hu!
Driving his Heaven's Path zhenqi, Zhang Xuan felt his entire body relaxing, and the pressure on him vanished without a trace.
The energy that had left him on the verge of collapse a moment ago was no different from a gentle breeze at this moment.
"Just as I guessed, the Heaven's Path zhenqi can neutralize the pressure!"
Heaven's Path zhenqi had no attribute, but it was capable of neutralizing any attribute. Zhang Xuan had guessed that driving his zhenqi would neutralize the pressure, and from the looks of it, his guess was right.
Zhang Xuan discreetly glanced at the others.
Unlike him, the others had already driven their zhenqi right from the start, but they still had an awful complexion on their faces as they forced themselves to persevere.
The few at the very front had already closed the gap of ten meters.
"Incredible!"
Seeing how they were still able to get so close to the Otherworldly Demon despite being unable to neutralize the pressure with their zhenqi, Zhang Xuan's face turned grim.
It was no wonder why even Pavilion Master Kang didn't think highly of him. The courage of these people was indeed formidable.
If not for his Heaven's Path zhenqi, he might not have been able to get as far as they did.
Now that the pressure was gone, Zhang Xuan's mind started to wander. "Since the Otherworldly Demon is exerting a unique ability to suppress the souls of humans... does that count as a battle technique?"
To be able to frighten everyone to the point of not daring to approach, the other party must have exerted some kind of soul suppression.
Even if it wasn't a battle technique, it had the same effect as one. Since that was the case, could the Library of Heaven's Path see through its flaws?
"Flaws!" Zhang Xuan thought.
Hu!
A book materialized in the Library of Heaven's Path.
