It was actually him!
There was a rule in the Demonic Memorial Pagoda of the Sacred Land. Once someone entered the seventh stage, the entire Demonic Memorial Pagoda would shine brightly, signifying the birth of a genius worthy of being nurtured by the Sacred Land.
Right now, Ouyang Jie and Gu Man had just entered the sixth stage and they saw the Demonic Memorial Pagoda shining brightly. How could they not be angry and jealous of each other?
"Gu Man, just you wait. I, Ouyang Jie, will definitely not let you be the first to pass!"
"Ouyang Jie, don't think that I don't know that you tried the Demonic Memorial Pagoda three years ago. Since you didn't succeed three years ago, I definitely won't let you succeed three years later either. Kill!"
Stimulated by the opening of the seventh stage, Gu Man and Ouyang Jie's eyes turned red. They both thought that the other party had entered the seventh stage first. They were both enraged and began to kill the demons blocking their way. They also wanted to enter the seventh stage as soon as possible and pass the stage.
As for a 'small fry' like Ye Fei, Gu Man and Ouyang Jie, who were happily killing each other, had already forgotten about Jiu Xiao Yun Xiao.
"That trash is probably still in the fifth stage, struggling bitterly. Hmph, hmph," Ouyang Jie tried his best to rush to the seventh stage as he ridiculed Ye Fei.
Little did he know that Ye Fei was currently sitting in the middle of a group of demons in the seventh stage, staring at each other.
Neither side dared to act rashly.
After all, the demons in the seventh stage were all in the 3rd stage of the Martial Ancestor Realm and seemed to have some intelligence. Although they were afraid of Ye Fei's Divine Flame, they unexpectedly discovered that this human who possessed the Divine Flame was very weak and might not be able to display the true power of the Divine Flame.
These demons hesitated and decided to stay by Ye Fei's side, trying to find the best time to attack. Ye Fei didn't dare to act rashly.
Aside from constantly waving the Spirit-devouring Sword to stop the demon spirits from approaching, he was also thinking quickly about how to use the Extraterrestrial Divine Flame to continue scaring these demon spirits.
After all, Ye Fei reckoned that he would be smashed into meat paste even if each of the Martial Ancestor Realm Level 3 Demon Spirits slapped him with their claws.
The commotion from the Demon Memorial Pagoda naturally couldn't be hidden from the Elders and disciples waiting outside. At this time, the majority of the disciples had already finished their trials. Even the Earth rank geniuses had come out. Their best result was only passing the fourth trial.
Right now, only Ouyang Jie, Gu Man, and Ye Fei remained inside the Demon Memorial Pagoda. Of course, due to Ye Fei's "arrogant" performance, Elder Tian Yan had even forgotten Ye Fei's appearance, let alone Ye Fei's name.
Staring at the constantly glowing Demon Memorial Pagoda, the two Elders only had Gu Man and Ouyang Jie in their eyes, the two geniuses they had high hopes for.
"Senior Apprentice Brother, this is really a great fortune for our Holy Land. After ten years, someone is finally going to pass the Demon Memorial Pagoda! I just don't know if it's Gu Man or Ouyang Jie. "Elder Tian Xin happily said.
"Hmph, that goes without saying. This old man can bet that the one who passes this time will definitely be Ouyang Jie. After all, he has the advantage from three years ago. This is something that Gu Man can't compare to." Elder Tian Yan was incomparably certain. It was obvious that he was filled with confidence in Ouyang Jie.
"Hahaha, that might not be the case. Although Gu Man's talent isn't as good as Ouyang Jie's, that's because his beast body hasn't fully awakened. Once he fully awakens, he will definitely surpass Ouyang Jie!"
Another black-clothed Elder noticed the commotion from the Demon Memorial Pagoda and flew over from afar. Tian Xin didn't dare to be negligent. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior Apprentice Brother Xuan Mo."
Elder Tian Yan also hurriedly bowed. Then, he blew his beard and stared. He shook his head and said, "That will have to wait until he fully awakens. Right now, I still have high hopes for Ouyang Jie. With his strength, his chances of passing the trial are very high."
Hearing this, Xuan Mo was just about to say something.
All of a sudden, Wang Bai leaned over and interrupted with dissatisfaction, "Three elders, you're looking down on people through the cracks of the door. My brother is also inside. Perhaps he can also pass the trial. "
The three Elders jumped in fright. Where did this four-browed fellow come from? They were too focused on the Demon Memorial Pagoda and didn't even notice him.
Elder Tian Yan immediately recognized that Wang Bai was the disciple who had replaced Ye Fei and accepted Ouyang Jie's bet. He instantly lost all good feelings for Wang Bai and sternly shouted, "Disciple, did you not hear this old man's words? If you fail the trial, quickly leave the sacred land. You are not allowed to stay!"
"But Elder, I've already passed the trial." Wang Bai very sneakily took out a token that said he had passed three trials. Elder Tian Yan was speechless.
The other disciples were also speechless when they saw Wang Bai's dazzling sixth-grade Martial Master cultivation. Many people didn't understand how Wang Bai passed the three trials with such a low cultivation.
One had to know that there was a Martial Ancestor Realm expert who failed the third trial because his talent wasn't enough. He had no choice but to cry and leave the sacred land.
Wang Bai was able to pass with such a low cultivation. He was simply a prodigy among the new disciples. Especially Wang Bai, he was even more of a prodigy.
"His seventh-grade Martial Master brother wants to pass the trial? Is this guy here to be funny?"
"But that person still hasn't come out. It's a bit strange."
"He probably knows that he can't pass the fifth trial, so he's hiding in a corner. He's too embarrassed to come out and embarrass himself. I only acknowledge Senior Brother Ouyang as the number one candidate!"
Whoosh!
While these disciples were discussing, there was movement from the Demon Memorial Pagoda. A figure covered in blood was blown out with an unwilling expression.
As soon as he landed, he let out an unwilling roar, "Damn it, damn it! I was just one step away from the seventh trial. Just one step away!"
"It's Gu Man!"
"He failed the trial?"
"Then that means the only one who can pass is Senior Brother Ouyang."
When the new disciples saw the heavily injured Gu Man, they were all shocked. Soon after, they started discussing. Many of them were talking about Ouyang Jie with respect.
Elder Heavenly Flame was so happy that he wanted to jump up and down. He chuckled as he looked at Xuan Mo, "Senior Brother Xuan Mo, it seems like my eyesight is a bit higher than yours."
"Hmph!"
Xuan Mo didn't say anything. She walked in front of Gu Man and comforted him, "Gu Man, don't be discouraged. Your Beast Body hasn't reached greater completion. You've already done your best to reach the sixth trial."
Elder Heavenly Flame seemed to have some grudges with Xuan Mo. He deliberately announced the result in advance, "Aside from Gu Man, Ouyang Jie will be the number one in this trial. He will also be the first person to pass the trial in ten years."
Whoosh!
Before Elder Sky Flame could finish his words, something unsightly happened. Another bloodstained figure was blown out of the Demon Memorial Pagoda.
This person was none other than Ouyang Jie.
Gu Man, who was half kneeling on the ground, suddenly regained his spirit when he saw that his old rival had also failed the trial.
After all, Ouyang Jie had only lasted a little longer than him. Overall, their results weren't that different.
Gu Man stood up and sneered, "Ouyang Jie, didn't you say that you would definitely pass the trial this year? I didn't think that you would still fail."
"Hmph, even if I failed, I would at least have reached the seventh trial!" Ouyang Jie's face was extremely ugly. However, when he thought about how even if he failed the trial, he would still be able to suppress Gu Man. He became proud again.
Ouyang Jie said arrogantly, "Even if I failed the trial, I would still be the number one disciple. Gu Man, you still lost to me!"
"You!" Gu Man's eyes widened, but he couldn't do anything about it.
Elder Heavenly Flame was slightly disappointed that Ouyang Jie didn't pass the trial. However, when he thought about how rare it was for Ouyang Jie to reach the seventh trial, he became happy and comforted Ouyang Jie, "Ouyang Jie, don't be discouraged. It's not that you didn't work hard, it's just that the Demon Memorial Pagoda's trial was too difficult. Since you reached the seventh trial, I will ask the higher-ups and give you the half talent crystal as a reward for becoming the number one disciple."
Ouyang Jie was overjoyed and hurriedly looked at Elder Heavenly Flame with gratitude, "Many thanks, Elder. This disciple will not forget Elder's nurturing."
"Hahaha, no problem, no problem!"
This was the effect that Elder Heavenly Flame wanted. After all, with Ouyang Jie's talent, it was very likely that Ouyang Jie would surpass him in the future. Now that he had a good relationship with Ouyang Jie, it was very beneficial for him as an Outer Court Elder.
Elder Heavenly Flame's attitude made Wang Bai unable to continue watching. Thus, he walked up and said, "Elder, aren't you looking down on people too much? My brother is still inside, how can you announce the result?"
It was that four-eyebrowed thing again. Where did it come from?!
Elder Heavenly Flame was furious. He pointed at Wang Bai and shouted, "Impudent! Do you have the right to interrupt when we Elders are speaking? Furthermore, even Gu Man and Ouyang Jie, these two geniuses, couldn't pass the trial. Who else can pass the trial? Is there something wrong with your head? "
"Senior Brother, something's not right. It seems like there really is someone passing the trial. Look, the Demon Memorial Pagoda is still lit up." Elder Heavenly Flame interrupted. He was the first to notice the anomaly in the Demon Memorial Pagoda, and he was incomparably shocked.
Elder Heavenly Flame raised his head and was immediately dumbfounded.
"How can this be? Even Ouyang Jie and Gu Man, these two geniuses, failed. Who is it that is still passing the trial?"
Elder Heavenly Flame and Elder Xuan Mo couldn't believe it.
"Could it really be him?"
