Indeed, Lu An did not need to take the antidote. In fact, he was feeling very comfortable at the moment.
After eating the elixir and absorbing the rich energy in it, he felt unprecedentedly energetic. He had even replenished most of the Fate Wheels that he had consumed during the three stages. Now, his Fate Wheels were almost all over his body.
Upon thinking of this, Lu An suddenly suspected that this stage was meant to replenish the energy of everyone who went up the mountain. Lu An looked up at Chu Wei and realized that Chu Wei was also looking at him. He could not help but smile awkwardly.
Chu Wei frowned as he looked at Lu An. He took a deep breath and put away the elixir in his hand. At that moment, Gongye Qingshan and Wu Biezhu, who were on the ground, gradually regained their composure as they stood up.
Both of them lowered their heads in shame when they thought of the tragic state they had been in.
"All three of you have passed." Chu Wei took a deep breath and said, "The energy just now is very pure. It will replenish the energy that you have consumed. The fact that you have passed this stage means that you have surpassed most people. "
The three of them looked at Chu Wei in unison when they heard that. They knew that there was only one stage left. At this point, no one wanted to fail at the last stage.
However, Chu Wei said, "However, the third stage is not like the first two stages. There will definitely be people who leave!"
The three of them were stunned. Their eyes were filled with astonishment and confusion.
"I said that the third stage is a test of actual combat. The rules are very simple. Those who go up the mountain will fight in pairs." Chu Wei said loudly, "In five minutes, the winner will stay and enter the Dacheng Sky Mountain to cultivate. The loser will leave the mountain. If there is no winner in five minutes, everyone will leave! "
As soon as he said that, the three of them sucked in a breath of cold air!
Wasn't this rule … too ruthless?
If there was no winner in five minutes and the loser left, wouldn't that mean that at least half of the people would have to leave the mountain?
The three of them looked at each other. They had never expected that their partners who had just gone through thick and thin would now become their biggest competitors. The reward was to become an official disciple. As such, who would dare not do their best?
"Since there are three of you, I will determine the groups," Chu Wei said loudly. "Gongye Qingshan, Wu Biezhu, the two of you will fight. As for Lu An … "
Chu Wei thought for a moment and said loudly, "Fight me!"
"What?" Lu An stared blankly at Chu Wei.
However, Chu Wei's resolute gaze told Lu An that this was the truth and that he had not misheard. Lu An immediately calmed down, but his brows were tightly knitted, and his eyes flashed with seriousness.
"The reason for this grouping is because Gongye Qingshan and Wu Bie Zhu's strength are relatively similar." Chu Wei said faintly, "But considering that Wu Bie Zhu's cultivation is not as high as the other party, I can give you some time. Gongye Qingshan could use weapons, but he could not use the power of weapons. As long as you can remain undefeated within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, I'll consider it your win! "
When Wu Bie Zhu, whose face was originally ashen, heard these words, his eyes immediately lit up! As far as he was concerned, it was impossible for him to defeat Gongye Qingshan. Not only was Gongye Qingshan's cultivation level higher than his, but he also had a Fate Wheel and a third-grade weapon. However, if he could persist for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, then he still had a chance!
"As for you, the difference between your strength and theirs is too great." Chu Wei said faintly, "I will not bully you. Aren't you at the early-stage? Then, I will also fight you at the early-stage. If you can last for an incense stick's worth of time, you win. This is considered very fair. How about it? "
Lu An was stunned when he heard this. His brows slowly relaxed as he nodded and said, "Alright!"
"Let's go. Follow me outside to fight. Don't smash the things here." Chu Wei said as he walked out of the door. The trio hurriedly followed with solemn expressions.
After walking out of the huge hall, the four of them arrived outside the door. Although it was cold outside, it was not like the wind and snow on the mountain path. The four of them were Heavenly Masters, so the cold did not affect them at all.
"Gongye Qingshan, Wu Bie Zhu, the two of you go first." Chu Wei said faintly, "When I say stop, it must stop. Do you hear me?"
"Yes!" Gongye Qingshan and Wu Bie Zhu responded in unison as they walked to the empty space in front of them. They retreated a hundred feet away from each other and looked at each other from afar.
Chu Wei and Lu An stood at the door. Chu Wei took a glance and shouted, "Begin!"
Just as his voice faded, the two of them moved!
Gongye Qingshan's first action was to draw his sword. The purple sword was unsheathed as it emitted a sharp cold beam under the sunlight. The sword's body was purple in color and it gave off a sharp feeling.
Under the time limit of an incense stick's worth of time, Gongye Qingshan did not dare hold back. Now that he was in front of the final stage, his father would definitely break his legs if he were to fail. Just the thought of it was terrifying.
At the same time, Wu Bie Zhu moved as well. As a dual-elemental Earth and Wood, he quickly covered his body with a thick layer of defense! The rules of the competition represented his attitude. As long as he could defend for more than an incense stick's worth of time, he would win!
On one side was a sharp sword, while on the other side was a hard shield. The outcome of this battle depended on which side was more powerful.
"Ha!" Gongye Qingshan roared as he stomped his feet on the ground. He rapidly attacked Wu Bie Zhu. As he moved, a lightning bolt appeared around his body. Furthermore, the lightning bolt rapidly spread to his sword, producing crackling sounds!
Lightning's attacks were extremely powerful. Coupled with the wind elemental's agility and leverage, it made the lightning element even more terrifying. Wind and lightning were always the best combination for attacks. At that moment, they appeared on a single person. It was obvious how sharp Gongye Qingshan's attacks were!
Sou!
Before he arrived in front of Wu Bie Zhu, Gongye Qingshan stabbed out with his sword! Instantly, a purple beam that was accompanied by lightning shot straight at the earthen wall. It was like a thunderbolt, causing Wu Bie Zhu's heart to sink.
Bang!
The purple beam slammed into the earthen wall. The two-foot-thick earthen wall was instantly pierced through as though it was nothing! Not only that, the purple beam that was accompanied by lightning continued towards Wu Bie Zhu. Wu Bie Zhu immediately struck out with his palm, forming a stone shield to block the purple beam. At the same time, he quickly dodged!
Bang!
There was another loud bang as the stone shield shattered. However, the purple beam had clearly weakened. Wu Bie Zhu took advantage of the situation to retreat and forcefully stabilize his body.
Wu Bie Zhu looked up and saw Gongye Qingshan charging towards him while brandishing his purple sword. He roared and struck the ground. In an instant, countless vines rose from the ground and rapidly wrapped around Gongye Qingshan!
Gongye Qingshan's eyes revealed a cold glint. He quickly brandished his purple sword to sever all the vines that attacked him. They were unable to pose a threat to him. However, the vines had successfully slowed down his advance. Wu Bie Zhu was still retreating rapidly.
However, Gongye Qingshan was still at the peak of his cultivation. Coupled with his wind elemental, his speed was not something that the clumsy Wu Bie Zhu could compare with. Even with the vines, the distance between the two of them was rapidly closing.
Wu Bie Zhu's expression turned ugly when he saw that his attack was ineffective. He struck out with his palm again. In an instant, countless gravel appeared out of thin air and shot towards Gongye Qingshan!
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Gongye Qingshan brandished his sword to form dense sword beams that attacked the space in front of him without any blind spots. As the sword beams and lightning bolts intertwined, all the gravel in front of him was reduced to dust.
Whoosh!
Gongye Qingshan instantly appeared above Wu Bie Zhu's head. Wu Bie Zhu stared with widened eyes at his opponent who had blocked out the sun. He was so anxious that he immediately punched out with both his fists. In an instant, his arms formed huge rocks that rapidly extended towards Gongye Qingshan. They were extremely powerful!
In the air, Gongye Qingshan's eyes were sharp. He brandished his Zhongzhen Purple Sword without any fear. In an instant, two stone pillars were shattered by him. Even the rocks were emitting lightning bolts!
When Wu Bie Zhu saw this, his heart turned cold.
Gongye Qingshan had already arrived. There was no way for him to escape. However, he had not lost. His strongest point was not his offense but his defense.
He had his own trump card as well.
Wu Bie Zhu clasped his palms together. With a ferocious expression, he roared angrily. In an instant, the ground ten feet around him sank by a foot, stirring up a large fog!
Following that, the stone slabs and boulders on the ground quickly rose. They rapidly gathered around him and above his head! Gongye Qingshan was stunned when he saw this. He hurriedly brandished his sword, wanting to stab out before the space above his opponent's head filled up!
Ding!
The purple sword stabbed out with lightning bolts. However, it was still a step too late. It stabbed into the boulder. What shocked Gongye Qingshan even more was that his purple sword did not even break through the surface of the shattered rocks!
Gongye Qingshan turned around and landed firmly on the ground. He looked at the ten feet tall and twenty feet wide hemispherical defense in front of him and slowly frowned.
"This defense is not bad." At the entrance, Chu Wei looked at the hemispherical defense and said indifferently, "By compressing the shattered rocks and applying the earth attribute on the surface, not only does the defense increase, it can even slowly repair the defense."
Lu An did not say a word when he heard that. He only frowned as he looked at the battle that had stopped in the distance.
"However, Wu Bie Zhu has lost." Chu Wei suddenly shook his head and continued, "That is because all defenses appear too weak under the Octagonal Sword Array."
