Boom!
"Ah!"
As soon as Wu Tian entered the great hall, he heard a strenuous cry, followed by a figure flying backward and then crashing heavily onto the ground.
"Ouch..."
The person didn't seem to be seriously injured. He got up, touching his waist, and muttered, "Is the fifth-level trial already this strong? It looks like I can only go this far."
This situation made Wu Tian feel confused. At this moment, more than a dozen people had gathered in the hall, their eyes fixed on a huge statue in front of them.
It was a statue with a dragon's head, exuding an aura of majesty.
Someone stood before the statue, and soon, the statue opened its mouth and spewed out a powerful bolt of lightning!
The person raised an immortal energy barrier to resist, but it only lasted for two seconds before he was blasted away.
The person's strength was around that of a mid-grade immortal, but he was so vulnerable against that lightning. Wu Tian couldn't help but feel curious.
He walked over and casually asked someone, "Brother, what are you guys doing here?"
The person didn't hide anything and replied, "Can't you see? They are undergoing trials."
"It is said that this place is the trial room for disciples of the Sacred Lightning Sect from years ago. That statue you see is not an ordinary statue, but a tool specifically used for trials."
"The statue can adjust its energy from one to nine. Each level increase yields corresponding rewards."
"So everyone is challenging themselves, trying to get better treasures!"
"So that's how it is," Wu Tian's interest was piqued by this.
After all, a fifth-level trial was enough to overwhelm a mid-grade immortal.
Then, if one could pass the ninth-level trial, wouldn't the final reward be very considerable?
With this thought, Wu Tian decided to try as well, so he waited on the side.
In more than ten minutes, several people had participated in the trials.
Their strength was all within the immortal realm, but the best result was only passing the fifth-level trial.
As the queue moved, it was finally Wu Tian's turn.
Wu Tian saw the person in front of him walk up to the statue and prepared himself, intending to go on stage next.
The person on stage was a burly man. Facing the statue, he shouted, "I want to participate in the eighth-level trial!"
"What?!" As soon as he said this, it naturally shocked everyone.
After all, no one had ever attempted the eighth-level trial before!
Someone couldn't help but say, "Brother, aren't you being too arrogant? How can you participate in the eighth-level trial right away? The power of this thing is extraordinary. If you do this, you might encounter an accident!"
The burly man smirked, his face filled with disdain, and said, "You're afraid, that's your business, what does it have to do with me? You are all trash, does that mean I have to be trash too?"
"What do you mean?!" Hearing the burly man's words, everyone immediately became angry and began to accuse him.
But the burly man clearly didn't take these people seriously.
His eyes turned a bit cold, and he said, "How dare you point fingers at me? I say, are you all tired of living?"
After speaking, the burly man released his aura.
Instantly, everyone's expressions underwent a drastic change!
"This... you are a high-grade immortal?!" Exclamations arose.
The burly man grinned and said, "That's right, I am a high-grade immortal."
"Now do you know how big the gap is between you trash and me?"
"Now, if anyone dares to speak to me, feel free to step forward. I don't mind sparring with you."
The burly man's words were undoubtedly a threat. Instantly, those people's expressions changed, and they all fell silent. Not a single person dared to say anything more.
After all, the other party was a high-grade immortal, and it was as easy as pie for him to kill them.
Therefore, they wouldn't offend such a person for a mere verbal dispute.
Although Wu Tian disliked the burly man's domineering behavior, it was none of his business, so he didn't say anything more.
Coincidentally, he also wanted to see how powerful the trial was and whether it would be too difficult for a high-grade immortal.
Seeing that no one dared to speak, the burly man felt a bit smug.
"Weren't you all quite talkative just now?"
He said smugly, "No one is talking now, right? Haha, as expected, you're just a bunch of trash."
"So, trash, now you all watch carefully and see what true strength is!"
With that said, the burly man let out a fierce roar, and his powerful immortal energy immediately formed an immortal energy barrier, enveloping him tightly.
Soon, the statue's mouth slowly opened again, and a blue sphere of light began to condense within it.
Seeing this, everyone felt a deep sense of surprise. After all, the statue had never shown signs of needing to condense energy before.
It seemed that the difficulty of the eighth-level trial must be extraordinary.
As the lightning sphere condensed more and more completely in its mouth, a heavy aura spread outwards.
The intensity of this energy was assessed by everyone, and they felt their hearts beat faster.
Wu Tian, seeing this, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
With his abilities, it was not difficult to see that the energy condensed by the lightning sphere had surpassed ordinary high-level immortal techniques.
Indeed, such a trial was not easy to pass.
The burly man's expression also changed slightly after sensing the aura of the light sphere.
He had underestimated the intensity of the eighth-level trial. He hadn't expected the trial to reach such a level.
At this moment, even he felt a bit uncertain.
But what could be done now? Regardless, since the trial had begun, he could only brace himself and endure it.
So he used an immortal technique to strengthen his body and mobilized all the immortal energy within him.
With an unprecedented booming sound, a thick bolt of lightning shot towards the burly man and instantly engulfed him.
Although the burly man was arrogant, he indeed had some skills. Under such intense lightning impact, he managed to hold on, remaining standing even after the lightning disappeared.
However, his condition was not good. The immortal energy barrier had been shattered, his body had sustained multiple injuries, and even his breathing had become rapid.
It seemed that in this situation, he could only barely withstand it.
