In short, none of the five of them could let others think that they were afraid of trouble.
Yun Guang, who had already walked once, chuckled and teased, "Stop fighting. Let's go together."
The five of them glared at him. This guy was obviously making fun of them. There was no way they would all go together. The reason was simple. The one closest to the ice pillar would definitely have the advantage. From what Yun Guang had seen just now, a step less or an extra step would determine the outcome of the battle. Who would be the closest?
Right now, it was no longer a matter of winning or losing, but a matter of the Six Sages' reputation.
Seeing that they were about to start arguing, the Eastern host, Xiong Wei, suddenly said, "Whoever goes first doesn't mean anything. There's nothing to fight about. Go according to age."
His words ended the argument, and also gave the five of them a way out.
In terms of age, Fa Hao was the oldest, so he was naturally first. After him was Hei Yun, Ji Detian, and Hua Yu. Tang Jun was last.
Fa Hao, dressed in grey monk robes, stood in front of the ice flames. He clasped his hands together and invoked his arts to protect himself. A Purple Lotus Fourth Grade appeared on his forehead, and he calmly charged into the blue ice flames. Just like Yun Guang, when he reached the first ice pillar, his transcendence shield was already fluctuating chaotically.
Without stopping, he continued towards the second ice pillar. With every step he took, his transcendence shield became even more chaotic.
After leaving the first ice pillar, Yun Guang walked for about five meters. Fa Hao's transcendence shield looked like it was about to collapse at any moment, but he still continued moving forward. Clearly, he wanted to surpass the distance Yun Guang had covered.
Only those who had experienced it knew how difficult it was to resist the terrifying penetration of the ice flames. It would quickly burn down your transcendence shield, and you would have to expend all your transcendence energy to maintain the shield's protection. The accumulated transcendence energy in your body would be like a broken dam, gushing out violently. It would be difficult to hold on for too long.
If there was a slight lapse in protection, the Red Lotus cultivator's fate would be a good example.
Seeing Fa Hao's state, Yun Guang seemed to have noticed something. He suddenly said in a low voice, "Big monk, as a monk, why are you so obsessed? There's no need to throw your life away just to win or lose."
As soon as he finished speaking. A blue fire snake broke through the weak point of Fa Hao's Dharma Shield and pounced on Fa Hao's bald head.
"En …" Fa Hao immediately let out a painful groan. His protective barrier had completely collapsed.
Everyone was shocked.
Old Ancestor South Pole's expression changed, and he quickly waved his sleeves. A path of fire immediately appeared in the middle of the ice flames, and the flames on Fa Hao's bald head were quickly removed. The Old Ancestor of the South Pole opened his palm, and Fa Hao, who was in danger, was directly sucked out. The Old Ancestor of the South Pole grabbed Fa Hao's arm and held him up.
Fa Hao's current appearance was simply disgusting to look at. His scalp had already melted away and covered his eyes. His white skull was clearly visible. This was only because Old Ancestor Antarctic had acted in time to save him. If he had been any later, he would have lost his life.
"Martial Uncle!" Two accompanying monks quickly rushed over and put a spirit pill into Fa Hao's mouth. They quickly helped Fa Hao to the side to heal his injuries.
Old Ancestor South Pole glanced at Fa Hao, who had retreated to the side and sat down cross-legged. His expression darkened as he said, "I'll remind everyone again. Don't force yourself if you're not confident!"
Yun Guang shook his head as he watched. At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief. Fa Hao was still two steps behind him. There was a gap of about a meter between them.
Most of the spectators had left their seats and stood up to watch. The Lady Boss seemed to have thought of something. She suddenly turned to Miao Yi and transmitted her voice over, "You cultivate a fire-type cultivation art. I believe you're proficient in controlling fire. Are you confident you can pass through this sea of ice flames?"
Miao Yi shook his head and said with reservations, "These ice flames are Yin flames. They're completely different from Yang flames. I've never tried it before. This is my first time seeing an ice flame, so I'm not confident. Lady Boss, you're not asking me to try it out, are you? I've already been in the limelight enough. Even if I'm confident, I can't go up again. "
The Lady Boss nodded. She knew that Miao Yi was speaking the truth. If he managed to break through this ice flame again, then his reputation would skyrocket. When that happened, who knew how many people would pay attention to Tempest Tavern's Niu Er. It wouldn't be a good thing for Miao Yi's current situation.
The carpenter and stonemason also secretly asked the same question. Naturally, Miao Yi gave a similar answer.
With Fa Hao's painful lesson in mind, the other four people who were about to go up had grim expressions on their faces.
The other representatives were also feeling a headache coming on. They couldn't wait for the Six Sages' representative to snatch away the largest ice soul. That way, the entertainment show would be over, and they wouldn't have to risk their lives anymore.
But looking at the situation, it was going to be tough! No one had made it past the halfway mark yet. It seemed like they would have no choice but to go up later on.
It was only natural that they would lose to the Six Sages' representative. However, there was still a chance for them to compete. It was no longer a matter of luck. Instead, it was a matter of who could go the furthest in the ice flames. Many people were silently cursing the Old Ancestor South Pole for being such a scammer. This stupid show was forcing everyone to risk their lives. Why didn't he just die earlier …
The atmosphere was a little heavy!
The third person to go up was Hei Yun. Just as he was about to move, he suddenly heard a concerned voice transmission in his ear, "Father, if you can't do it, then retreat. You mustn't force yourself!"
Hei Yun turned around and saw his son, Hei Wuya, looking at him with a worried expression. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, 'I have no choice but to give it my all!' It was still acceptable if he lost to the Great Devil Realm, but if he fell behind and ended up in last place, where would the Yinyang Realm's dignity go? How would his Master think of him from now on? He wouldn't give up so easily unless he really couldn't do it.
However, on the surface, he still forced a smile and patted his son's shoulder to show that he was fine. He then quickly entered the arena.
Slowly walking up to the ice flames, Hei Yun secretly took a deep breath and calmed his mind. He invoked his arts to protect his body, and a Purple Lotus Third Grade glowed on his forehead. He controlled his pace as he charged in.
Logically speaking, his cultivation was inferior to Yun Guang and Fa Hao's, so he shouldn't have been able to go as far as the two of them. However, that wasn't the case.
Yun Guang's expression changed instantly as he stared at Hei Yun. After Hei Yun walked past the first ice pillar, his protective transcendence shield began to fluctuate.
Under everyone's shocked gazes, the slowly moving black cloud had already surpassed the distance that Fa Hao and Yun Guang had covered. Furthermore, it was still moving forward step by step. Although the protective shield had begun to shake violently, the advantage it had over the two people in front was very obvious.
Yun Guang's expression wasn't the only one that changed. Even the Lady Boss's expression changed drastically. Someone from the Yinyang Realm had defeated someone from the Great Devil Realm! The disciple of the Ghost Sage's Master, Tu Xiao, had defeated the son of the Devil Sage, Yun Aotian, in front of everyone. Furthermore, it was someone with a lower cultivation level than him who had won. If word got out, how would the number one cultivator of the cultivation world keep his face?
The Arctic Elder, who was sitting in the main seat, secretly explained to the four hosts, "The Yinyang Realm's ghost flames and the Polar Ice Palace's ice flames are both Yin flames. They're just different types. In terms of defensive ability, Hei Yun has a natural advantage. The speed at which the ice flames burn through his protective transcendence shield isn't that fast. Hei Yun has the upper hand in this match, and it has nothing to do with his strength."
The four of them nodded to themselves.
It didn't take long for Hei Yun to reach the second icicle. He casually picked up the fist-sized Ice Soul and took another step forward. However, the protective transcendence shield had already reached its limit. After taking another step, he knew that he wouldn't be able to take it anymore. With a flash, he quickly darted out of the ice flames.
"Bravo!" The people from the Yinyang Realm applauded loudly, and many others followed suit.
Hei Yun raised the Ice Soul in his hand to the crowd. He felt relieved and happy. He didn't expect to win against Yun Guang and Fa Hao, and not just by a little, but with an absolute advantage. He raised the Ice Soul and waved it at Yun Guang to show off.
Yun Guang's expression was extremely dark. He felt as if the cheers and applause around him were like loud slaps to his face. What son of the number one cultivator of the cultivation world? He lost even though his cultivation level was higher than his opponent's. The Great Devil Realm's reputation had been completely ruined by him.
Yun Feiyang, who was at the side, lowered his head and scratched his head. His father had lost, and it was likely that his father would vent his anger on him later. He was very worried!
The Lady Boss couldn't help but take a step forward. Her full chest rose and fell rapidly, and her expression was rather ugly.
No matter what she had done, or what Yun Aotian had said about not recognizing her, she was still a daughter of the Yun Clan, and Yun Aotian's granddaughter. Today, the Yun Clan had been utterly humiliated, or rather, Yun Aotian had been humiliated. How could she hide in a corner and not show her face? How could she watch her grandfather, who had doted on her since she was young, be humiliated?
If Yun Guang had won, she could hide in a corner and not do anything. However, Yun Guang had lost so badly, so how could she hide?
As a child of a great clan, she enjoyed glory and benefits, but at the same time, she had to bear responsibilities and obligations. The deaths of many of Yun Aotian's children in battle was an example.
Her stepping forward immediately attracted the attention of the carpenter and the other two. The expressions of the carpenter and stonemason immediately changed. The two of them were the most familiar with the Lady Boss's situation, and they immediately knew that things weren't looking good. Once the remaining fellows were done with their matches, the Lady Boss would probably have to fight to the death!
"Lady Boss, please don't be rash! The Old Master's position in the cultivation realm isn't something that can be shaken by a mere match! " The stonemason was the first to transmit his voice over to the Lady Boss. At the same time, he transmitted his voice over to the carpenter and Miao Yi, asking for their help in persuading the Lady Boss.
At first, Miao Yi didn't react. After all, he wasn't from the Great Devil Realm. His position was different, and there were some things that he wouldn't think in that direction. Now that the stonemason had reminded him, and he looked at the Lady Boss's expression, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, 'It can't be.
She can even be provoked like this? 'The carpenter also advised, "Lady Boss, even though Yun Guang started cultivating later than you, his cultivation aptitude isn't any worse than yours. His current cultivation is also higher than yours, and he has long broken through to Purple Lotus Fourth Grade. You've only broken through not too long ago. If even he can't do it, then don't be rash!"
