Free Web NovelChapter 774: Chapter 656: Blessing or Misfortune, Hard to Foresee
The heat waves surged, causing the light screen of the arena array to ripple slightly.
Previously, Chen Xingyu had used this specially crafted Fire Dragon Talisman imbued with a trace of Scarlet Cloud Primordial Flame to defeat a Late Stage Foundation Establishment opponent from the Xuanfa Sect.
The opponent was also a True Master’s direct disciple.
His realm cultivation was even above Tang Roulan’s.
However, in the face of the fierce oncoming fire dragon, Tang Roulan did not dodge nor avoid. Instead, her lips curled into a confident smile.
She raised her alabaster wrist, causing the brilliance of the ice crystal jade bracelet to flow.
"Buzz!"
A phantom ice fish, entirely condensed of profound ice and vividly lifelike, leapt forth, spinning mid-air before unfurling into a thick, crystalline profound ice spiritual wall, with runes circulating, shielding her firmly behind it.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Five fire dragons crashed violently against the profound ice spiritual wall, erupting with deafening explosions.
Firelight scattered, and ice shards flew.
However, the profound ice spiritual wall merely shimmered gently, rippling slightly, yet stood unmovable.
The scorching flames couldn’t harm it in the slightest.
"Ah!"
Chen Xingyu’s pupils contracted sharply, his face filled with incredulous horror.
His greatest reliance was so easily unavailing?
At this moment, how could he have known?
The phantom ice fish in the ice crystal jade bracelet was condensed from Shen Xuan’s Primordial Ice Spiritual Power.
How could just a trace of Scarlet Cloud Primordial Flame possibly shake it!
Tang Roulan smiled sweetly, forming a spell with her fingers.
A second phantom ice fish flew out from the ice crystal jade bracelet, transforming mid-air into a three-foot flying sword, carrying a piercing chill, shadowing and closely pursuing Chen Xingyu in a stab.
Chen Xingyu, filled with shock and anger, hastily summoned a fiery red flying sword to parry.
For a moment, sword light crossed, and the clanging of blades was incessant, managing to barely hold a stalemate.
However, Tang Roulan did not give him a moment to breathe.
Biting her lip slightly, she concentrated her divine thought, as the third phantom ice fish leapt out, silently transforming into a nearly transparent slender knife.
The small knife, soundlessly and effortlessly, slipped past the frontal battleground, targeting the dead angles and vulnerabilities in Chen Xingyu’s defense, harassing him.
In an instant, Chen Xingyu had to deal with the fierce ice sword in front, while also guarding against the elusive transparent knife from the sides and behind, becoming immediately overwhelmed and flustered.
Before long.
Chen Xingyu’s protective spirit light was repeatedly breached, his clothes torn in several places, leaving him in a wretched state.
"I concede!"
Seeing his impending defeat, Chen Xingyu’s face turned pale, and finally forced out three words from between his teeth, his eyes filled with reluctance.
He could only participate in tomorrow’s comeback competition.
With this round concluded, Taiyi Sect had a total of eleven people directly obtaining slots for the Secret Realm, and counting the potential two or three more from the comeback competition tomorrow.
This session’s results far surpassed previous ones.
High upon the platform, the True Pill Judge’s voice boomed like a great bell: "The fourth round has ended, congrats to those who have obtained spots in the Secret Realm. Disciples who lost today may apply to join tomorrow’s comeback competition."
As these words fell, the square instantly exhibited a scene of stark contrast between ice and fire.
The disciples who obtained a spot were all beaming with joy, their eyes ablaze,
Among the cultivators who directly obtained spots this time, more than half belonged to the three Nascent Soul sects of Yue Country.
Most were True Master’s direct disciples.
Those sect disciples without solid backing found it difficult to make it among them.
In the Spirit Stream Secret Realm, there are many Heavenly and Earthly Treasures not easily gathered from the outside world.
All sorts of main materials for Golden Transformation Pills and Core Formation Spiritual Objects are available.
This also means they might find their opportunity for Core Formation there.
In fact.
They achieved good results in the Yue Country sect competition.
They were indeed the core formation seeds of various sects.
On the other hand.
Inside and outside the square, the sect disciples from Yue Country who were eliminated in the first four rounds were yet dejected, their eyes dim.
Looking at those fortunate ones, their hearts were filled with bitterness, envy, and a deep sense of helplessness.
In the struggle for the Grand Dao, to fall behind by one step is to fall behind every step.
The further along, the tougher it becomes.
Actually, the workings of fate are unfathomable, blessings and disasters are unpredictable.
Fortune and misfortune often hinge on a thought.
Many things are not as they appear to be.
This trip to the Spirit Stream Secret Realm is even more so.
Every session, many sect disciples who enter the Spirit Stream Secret Realm for trials perish.
And in this session, it was historically the most tragic, without exception.
The number of fallen far exceeded previous sessions.
Furthermore, the disciples gathered very few gains.
The thirteen Golden Core Sect Leaders of Yue Country will be implicated due to this, losing face significantly.
