Who's Number One?
Elder Tian Xin nodded and didn't say anything else.
The two Elders were looking forward to seeing Gu Man and Ouyang Jie's performance inside the Demon Memorial Tower. At this moment, Gu Man and Ouyang Jie's performance inside the Demon Memorial Tower was indeed extraordinary.
Gu Man had already relied on his beast body's powerful defense to force his way through the third floor. However, he saw that the door to the fourth floor had already been pushed open by someone.
Gu Man's expression suddenly changed. He unwillingly shook his head and said, "Damn it, Ouyang Jie was still one step ahead of me. It seems that I can't hold back anymore. I must pass this trial and prove that I, Gu Man, am the number one genius!"
Although the Demon Memorial Tower had countless spaces and people couldn't see each other, there was only one stone door to each floor. Experts could see who had opened it first.
Not long after Gu Man pushed open the door, another figure walked in as if he was taking a stroll. He seemed to be walking slowly, but was actually walking quickly. He completely ignored the surrounding demon spirits blocking his way.
Seeing that the stone door had already been pushed open, Ouyang Jie wasn't surprised. He coldly snorted and said, "Hmph, it must be that barbarian Gu Man. He used his beast body to get in front of me. So what if you have a beast body? You're just a brute who only knows how to use brute force. The next four trials will be easy for you."
In any case, Ouyang Jie had already experienced the trial once. He clearly understood the Demon Memorial Tower very well. He didn't waste a single strand of Zhen Yuan in the first three trials. He was saving his strength so that he could use his full strength in the next four trials.
In Ouyang Jie's opinion, Gu Man's brute force style was simply a waste of Zhen Yuan. There was simply no chance for him to pass.
"I just don't know how many trials that brat Zhou Guang has passed. However, no matter what, he definitely won't be able to pass the fifth trial. Once he leaves, I'll properly humiliate him. Hmph!" Ouyang Jie clasped his hands behind his back and strode into the fourth trial, as if he had already won.
At this moment, Ye Fei was also standing in front of the fifth stage's stone door with a bitter expression. Looking at the densely packed demon spirits inside, he sighed.
"Sigh, this Sacred Ground's assessment is really difficult. I've hidden so much of my strength, but I've only reached the fifth stage. If it was Gu Man and Ouyang Jie, they would've probably reached the sixth stage."
In the end, he was different from Gu Man and Ouyang Jie. Ye Fei was a nobody who had climbed up step by step from a small place. He didn't have a great teacher to guide him, nor did he have a powerful family to take care of him. He wasn't like Gu Man and Ouyang Jie, who knew the Demon Memorial Pagoda like the back of his hand. He could even determine who had entered before him just by looking at the clues.
At the same time, Gu Man and Ouyang Jie would never have thought that while they were competing with each other, Ye Fei had already relied on his Battle Demon Golden Body to walk ahead of everyone else. Not only was he the first to pass the fourth stage, but he had also reached the fifth stage.
However, when he reached the fifth stage, Ye Fei's Battle Demon Golden Body wasn't very useful. The demon spirits on this stage were all in the 1st Martial Ancestor Realm.
Ye Fei's Battle Demon Golden Body was only at the first stage. He wasn't afraid of the attacks of a Martial Master, but it would be very difficult for him to block the attacks of a Martial Ancestor Realm with his Battle Demon Golden Body.
However, when he thought of Ouyang Jie's vicious bet, Ye Fei's eyes couldn't help flashing with a cold light. "I can only win this bet if I pass the fifth stage. Damn it, even if it's just to vent my anger, I'll still give it a try!"
Taking a deep breath, Ye Fei lifted his foot and walked in.
The Martial Ancestor Realm demon spirits that were roaming around immediately pounced on Ye Fei. With so many demon spirits swarming him, even if the Battle Demon Golden Body's defense was strong, Ye Fei wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Just as he took fifty steps forward, his Battle Demon Golden Body had already shattered. His entire body was in extreme pain from the demon spirits' attacks.
If this continued, even if he wasn't killed by the demon spirits, he would definitely lose the qualifications to pass the assessment.
"Kill! Get out of my way! "
In a moment of desperation, Ye Fei couldn't care less. He could only pull out the Soul Devourer Sword and quickly send the demon spirits flying. The Soul Devourer Sword, a low-grade artifact, was of great help to Ye Fei.
Every demon spirit that came close to him was sent flying by the Soul Devourer Sword. In exchange, the demon spirits attacked even more crazily.
Another characteristic of demon spirits was that they weren't afraid of death. The more they killed, the faster they split up. Ye Fei was already very careful. He only smacked them and didn't kill them. However, there were still a few demon spirits that deliberately ran into the Soul Devourer Sword and chose to commit suicide.
Ah, ah, ah …
The demon spirit's eerie laughter before it died echoed throughout the Demon Memorial Tower. After it died, its body split into two identical demon spirits and pounced on Ye Fei even more fiercely.
"Damn it, these demon spirits even know this move. If I let them continue to commit suicide, how the hell am I supposed to pass this stage?" Ye Fei was very depressed.
He knew that blindly dodging wouldn't work anymore.
The final goal of the sacred ground that designed this Demon Memorial Tower was to force the disciples in the assessment to have no choice but to fight the demon spirits head-on. Only the disciple that could emerge victorious in such a battle would be the most outstanding disciple!
Seeing more and more demon spirits gathering around him, Ye Fei's face sank. "Do I have to use the Devourer Sword Intent now? But this is only the fifth stage. If I use it now, won't I be forced to use the Undying Sword Soul in the sixth stage?"
The Undying Sword Soul was Ye Fei's greatest secret. Unless he was forced into a desperate situation, he wouldn't use it easily.
Keke …
In that moment of shock, Ye Fei's sword technique showed a slight flaw. A demon spirit took the opportunity to rush to his side. Its pitch-black claws were about to claw at Ye Fei's abdomen.
If it really clawed at Ye Fei, his intestines would be ripped out. Ye Fei's face changed. He hurriedly activated the Devil Emperor's Scripture and fiercely punched out.
"Scram!"
His True Yuan, which carried the aura of the Divine Fire, exploded.
The demon spirit was sent flying. Its body emitted wisps of white smoke. It appeared to be terrified and didn't dare to approach again. Seeing this, Ye Fei's eyes lit up.
"Hmm? These demon spirits seem to be afraid of my Divine Fire. Why didn't I think of that? Demon spirits are of the Yin attribute, while Divine Fire is of the Yang attribute. The Divine Fire might be able to restrain these demon spirits!"
Kill!
Ye Fei's heart skipped a beat. He had already activated the True Yuan in his body and turned it into a raging Divine Fire. He attached it to the Devourer Sword and swung it out.
The effect was beyond his expectations. The fearless demon spirits retreated in fear after sensing the aura of the Divine Fire. They didn't dare to attack Ye Fei rashly. They only circled around him and let out angry screams.
"The Divine Fire is really the nemesis of demon spirits. Doesn't that mean that as long as I make good use of the Divine Fire in my body, I can pass this stage unscathed?!"
Ye Fei's eyes lit up even more. He seized the opportunity and swung the Devourer Sword as he charged toward the stone door of the sixth stage.
The surrounding demon spirits retreated. Other than letting out angry screams, none of the demon spirits dared to approach Ye Fei.
It was the same for the demon spirits of the sixth stage!
Although they were already at the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm Second Realm, their instinctive fear of the Divine Fire made them extremely unwilling to approach Ye Fei.
Ye Fei was surprised to find that with the deterrence of the Divine Fire, he could do whatever he wanted among the demon spirits.
"Haha, does this count as a loophole in the Holy Land assessment? With the Divine Fire, perhaps I can pass all the stages without having to reveal my Devouring Sword Essence and Undying Sword Soul! "
Passing this stage was incomparably easy. For other disciples, the terrifying fifth and sixth stages were like looking at flowers on horseback. Ye Fei passed them without even making a move.
If Ouyang Jie knew that Ye Fei passed the stage so easily, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood. Of course, even now, Ouyang Jie was also close to vomiting blood.
Because when he finally reached the sixth stage with incomparable difficulty, the entire Demon Memorial Pagoda suddenly emitted a bright light.
Others might not know what this light meant, but Gu Man and Ouyang Jie's faces became incomparably ugly.
"It's Gu Man. Damn it, he actually reached the last stage!"
