Chapter 516: Chapter 459: It’s Still Comfortable to Snatch
As long as they complete this challenge, they will be able to obtain the ancient inheritance.
Even those whose talent is only at Level Four, who don’t even qualify to become registered disciples of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace, as long as they complete this challenge, can still receive a minor inheritance or a reward of an exotic treasure.
...
Inside the great hall, Lin Feng, the white-haired elder, and Shi Yi quietly watched the testing on the square. Soon, they saw the test end, and Jing Yi summoned a golden portal.
Lin Feng looked at the crowd, his lips curled into a cold, cruel smile.
"Senior, for this test of combat power, does everyone enter together and then get tested one by one?" Lin Feng asked the white-haired elder.
"Indeed!" The white-haired elder nodded.
"Then, is it possible to slightly change the rules, so that we enter the test one by one?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.
"Enter one by one?"
The white-haired elder was puzzled upon hearing this, but then nodded: "Of course, you can enter one by one. However, this doesn’t seem to make any difference, does it?"
"It makes a difference, of course, it does. If we can enter the test one by one, then let’s do it that way!"
Lin Feng urged.
The white-haired elder was somewhat puzzled, not understanding Lin Feng’s intention, but he still nodded and with a wave of his hand, a ray of light shot up into the firmament, saying: "Jing Yi, for the following tests, everyone will enter the combat power testing ground one at a time."
"Um... Senior, can you also send me in?"
...
On the square, after Jing Yi summoned the golden portal, he surveyed the entire arena and said: "Now, everyone together..."
At this point, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly corrected himself: "Now, everyone will enter the combat power testing ground one by one and undergo the actual combat test."
Upon hearing this, many people were stunned and showed confusion.
"Senior, weren’t the previous tests done with everyone entering together and undergoing the challenges?" Someone asked with confusion.
Among the nearly a hundred people left, a considerable part had come the previous term. According to the usual rules, they all entered the testing ground together, and each person’s battle was witnessed by everyone, and they could also gain experience from other people’s battles.
But this time, they had to enter the testing ground one by one, which meant they would lose the opportunity to observe other people’s battles and learn!
Some with slightly lower strength turned solemn, but Xue Mo, Wenren Tianyi, and Chu Zhantian didn’t care. They had great confidence in their own strength and believed that they would have no problem completing the challenge with their combat power.
"This time, we won’t follow the old rules. Only by entering the tests one by one can we better evaluate your combat power!" Jing Yi said with a grave voice. Although he didn’t know why the Thick Earth Palace Master instructed him to change the rules slightly, since the Thick Earth Palace Master had ordered it, he just had to obey.
"Alright! Let’s start now! Who will go first?" Jing Yi spoke again, his voice loud and clear.
"I’ll go first!"
A yellow-robed youth with a cultivation level at the peak of Martial Master Seventh Layer shouted, pushed off the ground, and soared up, rushing into the golden portal with a whoosh.
Although people here could not fly, a height of tens of meters was nothing more than a leap for an Earth Martial Master.
Inside the golden portal was a huge Battle Platform, surrounded by tall and majestic stands, similar to the Ancient Martial Arena in the Hundred Extremes Sacred City, only smaller and not as vast.
After the yellow-robed youth arrived, he landed directly on the central Battle Platform.
At that moment, underneath the platform stood more than a dozen towering puppets.
These puppets, all belonging to the Thick Earth Palace, each stood over three meters tall, their bodies made from an unknown type of blue rock. They were similar in shape to Shi Yi, but their aura was worlds apart!
Most of these puppets were at the level of Earth Martial Masters, with only two at the Heavenly Martial Master level, and their cultivation ranged from Earth Martial Master First Layer to Heavenly Martial Master Ninth Layer.
As soon as the yellow-robed youth landed on the Battle Platform, one of the puppets at Earth Martial Master Seventh Layer stepped forward, and its towering figure immediately rushed onto the platform.
Boom!
A violent aura erupted as the puppet stepped onto the platform and immediately launched an attack on the yellow-robed youth—a punch thundering out.
The puppet possessed incredibly mighty strength, surpassing ordinary martial artists of the same level.
However, the yellow-robed youth was extremely strong, and with just one palm strike, he knocked the puppet of the same level off the Battle Platform.
Then, another puppet at the Eighth Layer of Earth Martial Master level stepped up to continue the battle with the yellow-robed youth.
This time, the yellow-robed youth fought fiercely with the puppet for nearly fifty moves before barely securing victory.
Next, a puppet at the Ninth Layer of Earth Martial Master stepped up to engage in fierce combat with the yellow-robed youth, with each puppet encountered being one level higher than the last.
This time, as soon as they engaged, the yellow-robed youth fell into a disadvantage, and after only six moves, he was sent flying by the Ninth Layer Earth Martial Master puppet, crashing hard below the Battle Platform.
With a bitter face, the yellow-robed youth knew he had given his all but was still no match for the Ninth Layer Earth Martial Master puppet!
Having failed the challenge, he would be teleported out of the Heavenly Vault Divine Realm, with no chance at the ancient inheritance.
Just then, a figure abruptly appeared in front of him.
Seeing the face of this figure, the yellow-robed youth was startled and then his eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed: "Lin Feng, how come you’re here?"
