Time gradually passed. Three days were gone in the blink of an eye.
During this period, among the thirty figures that Qin Nan had been keeping an eye on, half of them were dead. The remaining half were severely injured.
It was one of the difficulties of the trial.
The reason being that the situation would constantly change during a great battle. Unless one's cultivation was significantly stronger than the others, there was no guarantee that they would not be the one to die.
Left with no choice, Qin Nan had no choice but to keep an eye on those who were still capable.
"It's here!"
Qin Nan was startled all of a sudden.
On the battlefield below him, a middle-aged scholar covered in blood took out a jar of immortal wine from his storage bag and gulped it down. His tired expression was replaced with excitement.
Qin Nan had been keeping an eye on the middle-aged scholar for three days and three nights. The man had gone through a few battles. Even with the help of various pills, the power of rules in his body had already dried up. The injuries he had sustained had depleted his life force. He was now an arrow at the end of its flight.
It was only the last burst of energy before his death.
"Kill!"
The middle-aged scholar let out a roar and drew out his sword.
He immediately unleashed thousands of sword shadows, which eventually turned into a single sword glow. It was like a thunderbolt, a rainbow, the only light in the world. It sprang forward and shattered everything in its path.
"That's the move!"
Qin Nan was overjoyed.
It had been three days, and he finally saw a powerful cultivator using the same move.
"Withdraw!"
With a thought, Qin Nan's clones merged with his body.
He quickly immersed himself in it. Every movement, every burst of aura, and every change in will of the middle-aged scholar's sword flashed across his sea of consciousness like an ancient painting.
A day later, a strong sword intent appeared around Qin Nan's figure, and it gradually grew stronger.
To comprehend someone else's moves just by watching them fight was indeed too difficult. Even with Qin Nan's talent in martial arts, he had only comprehended 40%, which was his limit.
That being said, Qin Nan had no idea what it meant to be able to comprehend forty percent of a person's moves after witnessing their moves twice in a day.
Qin Nan himself felt a little regretful.
"That's not enough."
Qin Nan's eyes sprang open as a grin appeared on his face.
He remembered that the woman with short blue hair had said that the spell he was about to cast had to reach a certain level of power.
This swordsmanship should be powerful enough, but there was a key problem. Qin Nan had always been using a saber, not a swordsmanship.
Therefore, Qin Nan still needed to convert this sword art into a saber art. Only then would there be no mistakes.
Qin Nan soon calmed his thoughts and unleashed the force of his will, summoning an immortal saber floating behind him.
This time, Qin Nan did not take too long. Around an hour later, he rose to his feet and flew out of the barrier.
"Wait!"
Seeing Qin Nan about to slash at her, the woman with short blue hair quickly distanced herself and said with a smile, "Cultivator, you've passed the trial."
Qin Nan asked suspiciously, "Are you sure I've passed?"
The woman with short blue hair nodded and said, "Yes, I've been watching your actions for the past few days. Not only did you pass the trial, you did a great job too. "
Qin Nan withdrew his saber intent and said, "If that's the case, bring me to the second trial."
The woman with short blue hair said, "Of course, but before you enter the second trial, you'll have to draw lots."
Saying this, she took out a box made of ancient crystals. The top of the box was engraved with various runes, emitting a mystical aura. Even with an eye-technique, it was impossible to peek through it.
The woman with short blue hair continued to explain, "The second trial is divided into two groups: the Stoppers and the Intruders. Only one of the Stoppers will be chosen. If you're chosen as the Stopper, all you need to do is to stop the other Intruders who have passed the first trial.
"The more people who successfully stop them, the greater the reward they will receive. As for the details, I'll only tell you if you're chosen as the Stopper. "
"Similarly, if you're chosen as the Intruder, all you need to do is to break through the Stopper. Only then will you be able to proceed to the second trial. Otherwise, you'll be judged as having failed the trial, and will have to proceed to the fourth trial. "
Qin Nan subconsciously shook his head after coming to a realization. The person who had designed the trial was quite ingenious to come up with such a scheme.
"Let's hope it's the Stopper!"
Qin Nan murmured as he reached out his hand to grab the box.
It sounded more interesting to be the Stopper.
A few moments later, Qin Nan grabbed a jade and took it out of the box. He took a closer look and saw a murderous red word written on it.
Break!
"It seems like I'm not that lucky."
Qin Nan shrugged.
Forget it, Intruder, so be it.
"Cultivator, please come in, I wish you success."
The woman with short blue hair bowed slightly and gestured for him to enter. The rift not far away cracked open and turned into a vortex. Qin Nan disappeared into it with a flicker.
In front of Qin Nan was a colorful path with no end in sight. Qin Nan immediately sprinted forward at his fastest speed.
Despite that, it still took him a few hours before he finally saw a ray of light, allowing him to rush into it.
Everything before him cleared up. He landed on a dojo.
The dojo was not huge. It only covered an area with a circumference of a thousand zhang. The ends of the dojo were filled with chaos, as if it was floating in endless darkness.
Qin Nan immediately sensed a few auras as soon as he arrived. He immediately looked around.
The young Peerless Ruler that left a deep impression in Qin Nan's mind, Xie Siyi, Lin Chengqi, and the others had arrived.
"Hehe, I was wondering who it was, so it's you. It seems like your Martial Talent is quite impressive, to be able to pass the first trial of the third trial and come here. Unfortunately, you're too spineless. Otherwise, you might have a bright future. "
Xie Siyi mocked.
Qin Nan glanced at him.
The guy had purposely mocked him to provoke him at first.
However, it seemed like the guy was not doing it on purpose. He was just annoyed by Qin Nan.
Qin Nan did not respond. It was useless to say anything with the Force of Time and Space hindering him.
That being said, he better not let him find the chance in the future …
The crowd waited patiently.
A day was gone in the blink of an eye.
At first, there were less than ten cultivators in the training hall, but now, there were more than twenty of them.

"Brother Lin!"
Ji Xuan finally came out too. He was excited when he saw Qin Nan.
Beside him was Gu Fei. When Gu Fei saw Qin Nan, he was aware of the gazes from Xie Siyi and the others. He immediately turned his face away without saying a word.
"You little brat, why are you so insensible? Why are you still acting like this at a time like this? "
Seeing this, Ji Xuan slapped Gu Fei's head and scolded him in annoyance.
"What do you know?"
Gu Fei glared at him and immediately went to the other side.
"Huh? You dare talk back to me? Do you really think I can't teach you a lesson? "
Ji Xuan clenched his teeth as the force of rules in his body became restless.
"Forget it."
Qin Nan patted Ji Xuan's shoulder and said, "Let's pass the trial first."
Ji Xuan withdrew his hand angrily.
Meanwhile, the dojo was quite lively, with various voices echoing in the air.
"What's going on? It's been a day. Why hasn't the stopper shown up yet? "
"Who do you think the stopper is?"
"How would we know? Whoever it is, it's definitely unlucky to be the stopper. "
"That's right. Being a stopper, not only will they be attacked by us challengers, if the stopper really stops someone, they will definitely bear grudges. This matter is too offensive."
Many were relieved that they did not pick the stopper.
At that instant, an unexpected change took place.
In front of the dojo, in the midst of the chaos, countless glows appeared and formed a bridge leading to somewhere at a shocking pace.
Thud, thud, thud!
A series of deafening noises like the stomps of enormous beasts could be heard.
"Is he coming out?"
Everyone glanced in the direction of the voice. Their eyes glistened.
Thud, thud, thud!
The noises grew louder as the mysterious person approached them.
"Everyone …"
A voice was heard. A young man wearing a purple-gold robe with eight trigrams appeared in front of the crowd. He glanced at the crowd and said with a playful expression, "Hello, I'm the one who's stopping you this time. You can only proceed to the second stage if you obtain my approval."
The entire dojo fell silent.
The eyes of Lin Chengqi, Xie Siyi, and the rest of the cultivators widened in disbelief.
The young man was none other than the Ruler of Heart!
"The Ruler of Heart? What's going on? Why is it him? "
"Yeah, the Ruler of Heart hasn't shown up since the beginning!"
"Gasp, what are we going to do now? How is it possible to enter the second trial? "
Lin Chengqi, Xie Siyi, and the rest of the cultivators took a deep breath. Their faces darkened.
"Holy crap! How are we going to do this? How are we going to enter the second trial? Is the Sacred Heaven Martial Sect doing this on purpose? "
Ji Xuan could not help but curse.
Qin Nan glanced at him with a grin.
Senior Ruler of Heart was the stopper …
This was getting interesting!
"Everyone, let's not waste any more time. I'll be the stopper this time. The way to pass the trial is very simple. As long as you're able to satisfy me and earn my approval, it's enough. It doesn't matter if you're using martial arts, Martial Arts Talent, etc.
"Oh, since I'm the one who's going to stop you, I'm very casual about it. Apart from martial arts talent and the like, you guys can even attack me if you want, as long as you can last a hundred breaths against me."
The Ruler of Heart wore a smile.
"Last a hundred breaths?"
When the cultivators present heard this, they all revealed bitter smiles.
The second condition was the same as not mentioning it.
How strong was the Ruler of Heart now?
His strength was comparable to the peak Heaven Highness Realm!
How could they possibly last a hundred breaths against the Ruler of Heart with their cultivation?
"The trial will now begin. We have plenty of time. You have a day, and there's no limit to the number of times you can try. However, you will have to line up one by one. You can't take up any space."
The Ruler of Heart placed his hands behind him. He glanced at the crowd and said, "Who's called Chen Fenghuo?"
Qin Nan was startled.
Chen Fenghuo?
Chen Fenghuo who came first in the trial?
"Senior Ruler of Heart, I am."
A young man stepped forward and brought his fists together. He was neither servile nor overbearing.
"Chen Fenghuo … is him?"
Qin Nan's eyes flickered with astonishment.
The young man was the young man in the Peerless Ruler Realm that he was particularly interested in.
"Mm, if it's you, you won't have to go through me. You can take part in the second trial."
The Ruler of Heart waved his hand.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.
Apart from Qin Nan, almost everyone had taken notice of Chen Fenghuo. The fact that he was able to come so far with his cultivation in the Peerless Ruler Realm implied that his Martial Talent was indeed extraordinary.
However, they did not expect Chen Fenghuo to have such special privileges!
"Senior Ruler of Heart, why is that?"
"That's right! Why is Chen Fenghuo allowed to take part in the second trial? "
"That's right, Senior Ruler of Heart, it's not fair at all!"
Some of the cultivators blurted out after collecting their thoughts.
As a matter of fact, they were not really angry. They were just jealous of Chen Fenghuo.
"Senior Xinruo, seniors, what you've said is very reasonable. I'm just an ordinary person. There's nothing special about me. Even if my cultivation is weak, I should still follow the rules. Please allow me to take part in the trial. "
Chen Fenghuo hurriedly cupped his fists and said. His words were sincere, without any pretense.
"Mm, not bad, it's rare for a Peerless Ruler to have such determination." The Ruler of Heart nodded slightly. He glanced at the cultivators who had just spoken and said coldly, "Not fair? Of course it's not fair! I'm the one in charge here. I can let anyone pass if I want to! If you aren't convinced, feel free to talk to the Sacred Heaven Martial Sect! If you can't hold it in any longer.
Let's cut the crap and do it! "
An overwhelming aura burst out of his body and crushed down on the crowd like a boundless ocean.
The expressions of the cultivators immediately changed. Chills ran down their spines, and they no longer dared to say anything.
"As for you …"
