Gold One flew over the square.
“Okay! Let’s carry on testing!”
Gold One looked around and proclaimed loudly.
Almost half of them had not completed the test yet.
“Senior, where is Su Mo?” Xue Mo asked.
Realizing that Su Mo had not returned, Xue Mo’s face was sullen.
The others also stared at Gold One when they heard Xue Mo’s question. They were all curious about Su Mo’s whereabouts.
“I brought Su Mo to undertake a special trial just now. He failed the trail and has already been sent out of Firmament Divine Realm! ”
Instead of telling them the truth, Gold One made up a perfunctory story, then he said, “Let’s begin!”
“Failed the trial? Sent outside?”
They were all surprised. Xue Mo, Wenren Tianyi, and Hong Qingxuan frowned slightly since they didn’t buy the story.
The test continued, but few of the remaining people had talent or attributes that had reached Level 4.
Two hours later, the test ended. Of a crowd of thousands, less than 100 people qualified. Those that did not make the mark were sent out of Firmament Divine Realm.
“Well done, congratulations to all of you on completing the second trial. It’s now time for the third trial, the test of combat strength!”
As Gold One looked at the remaining people and made this announcement, he formed a seal with his hands and pushed it toward the sky. Suddenly, a golden door with a radius of 10 meters appeared.
“You’ll take on the third trial in the combat strength testing field behind the golden door! If you can win three matches in a row, you will qualify!”
Gold One announced loudly.
The remaining contestants looked at the golden door and took deep breaths, eyes filled with intense fighting desire.
If they passed this trial, they would acquire the ancient Legacies.
Even those who had not qualified to be an unofficial disciple of Firmament Palace could receive small Legacies or precious treasure.
...
In the hall, Su Mo, the white-haired elder, and Stone One quietly watched the trial unfold on the square. After the conclusion of the test, they had seen Gold One summon the golden door.
Su Mo looked at the crowd with a cold smile.
“Senior, would everyone enter the combat strength testing field together and then take the test individually?” Su Mo asked the white-haired old man.
Su Mo asked the white-haired old man.
“Yes!” he nodded.
“Can I change the rules so that they enter the testing field individually?” Su Mo asked with a smile.
“Individually?”
The white-haired old man was puzzled but nodded his assent. “As you wish, but difference does this make?”
“Of course, there’s a difference. If we’re allowed to change the rules, then let’s just have them enter the testing field individually!”
Su Mo sounded hasty.
The white-haired old man didn’t know what Su Mo’s intentions were, but he nodded and shot a ray of light from his fingers into the sky, saying,”Gold One, the examinees need to enter the combat strength test field individually to be tested.”
“Senior, can you send me in too?”
...
In the square, after Gold One had summoned the golden door, he looked around the room and said, ” Now, everyone together...”
Gold One’s expression suddenly changed and he quickly corrected himself, saying, “Now, everyone will enter the combat strength testing field individually to take the test.”
Hearing this, the crowd was surprised and puzzled.
“Senior, haven’t we been entering together for the previous tests?” someone asked doubtfully.
Someone in the crowd raised doubts over this change.
Many of the remaining examinees had attended the test three years ago. According to the rules, they should have entered the testing field together so that they could witness every battle and learn from each other.
This time, they would have to enter the testing field individually. They would not be able to watch other people’s fights and learn from them!
Some weaker talents looked grim, but Xue Mo, Wenren Tianyi, and Chu Zhantian were not worried. They had great confidence that they could complete the test using their own strengths.
“The rule has changed so that we can assess your real combat strength!” Gold One said in a deep voice.
Gold One did not know why the Master of Earth Palace had changed the rule, but he intended to obey and execute the order.
“Okay! Let’s start now! Who’d like to be the first one?” Gold One shouted again.
“Me!” shouted a yellow-robed young man whose cultivation was at the peak of Lv7 True Spirit Realm.
The young man leapt into the golden door.
Although none of those present could fly, the door that was suspended just ten metres above the ground could be reached with a leap.
Beyond the golden door, there was a huge fighting ring surrounded by tall and majestic spectator stands. It was looked a slightly smaller version of the Archean Fighting Ring in Holy City of Top 100.
The yellow-robed young man landed on the Central Fighting Ring.
A dozen tall puppets stood under the fighting ring.
The puppets belonged to Earth Palace. Each of them was over three meters tall and made from cyan rocks of unknown origin. Though they looked like Stone One, they were far weaker than him!
Most of the puppets were at the True Spirit Realm and only two were at the Enlightenment Realm. Their cultivations varied from Lv 1 True Spirit Realm to Lv 9 Enlightenment Realm.
As soon as the young man arrived, one of the Lv 7 True Spirit Realm puppets rushed to the fighting ring in an instant.
Boom!
A raging aura exploded as the puppet launched an attack on the young man with a punch.
This puppet was extremely powerful and his strength exceeded typical martial artists of the same level.
However, the challenger was more powerful. He kicked the puppet off the fighting ring with one blow.
Next, another Lv 8 True Spirit Realm puppet came to fight with the young man.
This time, the young man barely defeated the puppet after exchanging almost 50 blows.
Then, a Lv 9 True Spirit Realm puppet stepped onto the ring. Each fight would be with an opponent at a level higher than the previous fight.
The yellow-robed young man struggled right from the beginning of this fight. He was thrown out of the fighting ring after just six moves.
The young man looked agonized. He had tried his best but had still been defeated.
Failing the trial meant he had to give up on the ancient Legacies and be sent out of Firmament Divine Realm.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
The young man was stunned and exclaimed with widened eyes, “Su Mo, why are you here?”
