Sky Traversing Emperor - C69
“Someone is condensing the third level.” Elder Lin Yi’s gaze stopped on Mu Chen. His short black beard shone with a dark glow and his eyes were filled with satisfaction. He had already noticed Mu Chen in the first round.
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes as he stared at the dazzling Mu Chen. Regardless of whether it was the chaotic battle within the first round of the Spiritual World or the Lightning Congealing Array within the second round, both of them performed exceptionally well. As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed out again, bringing out one of the people from the formation.
The third barrier of the Hidden Lightning Array had finally arrived. In the distant sky, a white stream of light, like a shooting star chasing after the moon, instantly streaked across the sky, wildly blasting at the space within the profound formation, continuously falling into the bodies of the remaining people.
“That’s Mu Chen. He’s about to form his third lightning bolt!” A person exclaimed.
Sure enough, after the thirty-ninth hidden lightning bolt had landed on Mu Chen’s body, Mu Chen was able to successfully form the third lightning imprint after a struggle. At this moment, his body was glowing with lightning, and his skin was starting to turn smooth. A wave of heat emitted from the top of his head.
“The thirty-eighth.” Wu Yunfei suddenly opened his eyes and raised his head to look at the sky that was filled with white light. His body trembled slightly and after the thirty-eighth hidden lightning bolt landed, Wu Yunfei’s expression did not change, but the muscles on his face trembled along with his body.
“39th step!” Wu Yunfei screamed in his heart. Perhaps it was because of the extreme pain, but his blood energy was constantly boiling and the hot air was constantly boiling. The bean-sized beads of sweat also gradually evaporated with his body’s heat.
Finally, after the thirty-ninth hidden thunder’s power of thunder was successfully gathered, the third level’s lightning tattoo also took the shape of a spiral and was successfully formed.
The muscles on Wu Yunfei’s face finally relaxed. At the same time he smiled, he also let out a large breath of impure air. After that, he continued to focus his attention to welcome the next hidden lightning bolt.
Not too far away from Wu Yunfei, Yu Ha, who had been brutally struck by Hidden Lightning, was no longer as handsome as he was before. On the contrary, people couldn’t help laughing when they saw him, wearing tattered clothes, with a black face and white lips, with his long hair standing straight up, completely throwing his original appearance a thousand miles away. When the thirty-seventh Hidden Lightning descended, he also opened his eyes and shouted: “The thirty-seventh Dao, come, I want to see what you can do to me!”
“… …”
It started from the beginning and quickly spread through his entire body. It was just like before, after a spasm, he stopped and after taking a deep breath, he forced himself to calm down. Yu Ha had caught the thirty-seventh hidden lightning bolt.
Next, the thirty-eighth, thirty-ninth …
Perhaps it was due to the fact that the people in the training field had become sparse, but the torrential downpour of lightning could not find a target and crazily poured on the ground, causing the ground under Wu Yunfei and the others’ feet to turn loose. Layers of soil flew up in all directions.
“Eighty, seventy …” The people constantly calculated that there were fewer and fewer people left within the profound formation, and the number of people who succeeded in forming the third layer of lightning patterns was constantly increasing. Over twenty people had already successfully formed the third layer, and among the remaining forty odd people, they were also chasing after the goal of forming the third layer.
Gradually, the numbers dwindled as the lightning continued to wreak havoc. The skin of those who had successfully formed the third level all began to emit a faint lightning glow. At a glance, they looked like glowing figures that were constantly flashing.
Now that it had reached such a level, it seemed that when the third level was formed, people could already see that many of them had reached their limits. If they continued to forcefully channel the power of thunder into their bodies, then it was very likely that something would happen, and thus, everyone began to guess that there wouldn’t be anyone that could form the fourth level.
“Over 30 people, able to form the third level of the Thunder Marking, not bad.” Elder Cui nodded his head slightly and said calmly, “However, the next three levels are not that simple.”
After the third level of lightning inscriptions, every hidden thunder contained a much stronger power of thunder than before. Especially when the power of thunder began to take shape, very few people would be able to withstand such a terrifying pressure.
Sure enough, one person couldn’t hold on any longer when the forty-first Hidden Lightning fell. He was rescued by Elder Yu Xiao. Like him, there were a few others who chose to give up on the forty-first move.
The forty-two paths. The forty-three paths. All of their faces were not relaxed as they endured the immense pain.
“Forty-fifth level …”
Wu Yunfei was very clear that he had already obtained quite a few benefits from using the power of thunder to temper his body. At this time, the more lightning tattoos he had, the better it would be for him.
Coincidentally, the hidden lightning contained a thunder-attribute energy, and Wu Yunfei’s body also possessed a thunder-attribute bloodline power. Therefore, it just so happened that Wu Yunfei would be able to deal with these hidden thunderbolts, even though it was the 45th and 46th Hidden Lightning, he did not end up in a sorry state like the others.
At the 46th step, Yu Ha finally gave up. After all, it was already quite good to be able to reach this step. At this moment, there were only five people left in the arena.
Of the 47, 2 had left. Of the 48, 1 had left. The remaining 2 had left!
“That Mu Chen is about to face his fiftieth Hidden Lightning. Do you think he can hold on?”
“Look, that’s the blue-clothed boy!” Although Wu Yunfei’s shirt was long gone, some people still recognized him. That dark yellow heavy sword was inserted diagonally beside him and was also undergoing a baptism of thunder. At this moment, the dark yellow sword’s body had become somewhat shiny, as if it was calling out non-stop.
“Blue clothed boy?” At this time, the remaining two people were sitting in two different directions, north and south of the profound formation. Among them, Mu Chen was about to receive his fiftieth hidden thunder, and the other young man at the third level of the Profound Origin Stage, the forty-ninth hidden thunder, just happened to land on his body.
Roar!
After his many roars, Mu Chen’s throat had become a little hoarse. After the 50th Hidden Lightning descended, it surged through his body and he forcefully held it down. In the end, he successfully gathered the power of the 50th Hidden Lightning.
“Phew …” “Success.”
Just as Mu Chen exhaled, Wu Yunfei also received the bombardment of the 50th Hidden Lightning. However, the situation truly made everyone dumbstruck as they looked at Wu Yunfei with astonished expressions. It was only at this point that everyone suddenly realized that Wu Yunfei had the same reaction after the 40th Hidden Lightning bolt! Regardless of how many hidden thunderbolts he took out, Wu Yunfei’s expression didn’t change much. Could it be that the hidden thunderbolts after the third layer were all the same to him?
Ah …
While everyone was paying attention to Wu Yunfei, the fifty-first hidden lightning bolt struck Mu Chen, who finally gave up on the formation of the final lightning symbol on the fourth level. As he left, he glanced over and saw that Wu Yunfei was the only one left on the stage. Mu Chen was also extremely shocked in his heart because the people on the stage were the people who had caused such a ruckus in the first round of the Spiritual World, the blue-clothed boy.
Although he was unwilling, he still felt that Wu Yunfei could do it. Even he, who was at the fourth level of the Profound Origin Stage, could not withstand the power of the fifty-first Hidden Lightning, let alone him.
“The last one!”
“It’s actually him!” Some people recognized Wu Yunfei. After all, he had been besieged by many in the first round, so many people had a very deep impression of him.
“As expected, he’s not simple.” At this moment, Elder Chen’s gaze also landed on Wu Yunfei. He knew from the start that this blue-clothed boy was definitely not a simple character. After all, he had an expert like Qing Yu, and his own strength was not to be underestimated. One could tell from Wu Yunfei’s gaze that he had an extremely firm conviction in his heart.
Indeed, other than Wu Yunfei’s ability to cleverly deal with Hidden Lightning and his bloodline which coincidentally had the Lightning Attribute, Wu Yunfei was still relying on his strong conviction to support Wu Yunfei. Faith was his strongest perseverance.
He had not become strong, he had not found his father, and he had not investigated the culprit behind the Wu family. These were his beliefs, and for these reasons, Wu Yunfei would not hesitate to charge forward.
“Kid, you’ve persisted to the last one.” From the last person in the profound formation, he displayed his formidable strength and talent during the first round of the Spirit World. In order to protect this person, Elder Cui had brought forward the first round of the examination by a little bit. Now that he had performed very well in the second round of the examination, Elder Cui was naturally very happy.
