Chapter 58 Reaching the Summit
Chapter 58 Reaching the Summit
The guardian of the eighty-first floor.
It is an internal strengthening that has achieved minor success.
It is not difficult to see that the strength of the guardians will become stronger as time goes on, and those who have achieved the Great Perfection of Inner Strength... or even cultivated the Inner Strength that has developed secret power, will definitely be included. This is an assessment specifically set up for those two Inner Strength disciples.
"If I could get up there..."
Qin Jiu's eyes flickered.
He possesses the natural advantages of a snake's waist and python's tendons, as well as dragon's tendons and tiger's bones, making his physique far superior to that of ordinary martial artists. In addition, his extremely cold and yin energy makes him a formidable opponent for most people who have not yet reached the minor stage of internal strength.
Not to mention he also has a self-healing talent.
He had no scruples whatsoever, as long as it wasn't an instant death.
"That's enough."
"Either don't fight, or fight to the bitter end!"
Think about this.
Qin Jiu's expression turned sharp.
The withered tree was instantly revived, and then it leaped fiercely to the next level of guardians.
......
Below the towering stone steps.
Several figures, some old and some young.
At this moment, everyone's expression was solemn, and the sharp light bursting from their eyes was almost tangible as they stared intently at the figure on the eighty-first floor.
"How strange..."
"To pass the seventy-second step of the three-stage trial is already a sign of true mastery. The next nine steps require eighteen inner warriors. How did this person manage to do it? I remember the sect has records that no one has reached that level in the three-stage trial in the past thirteen hundred years."
"The purpose of this assessment is simply to examine the disciples' potential."
"I never expected a real dragon to appear."
A refined and elegant man, with a glint in his eyes, muttered to himself.
An old man beside him shook his head slightly upon hearing this and said, "You're wrong. Have you forgotten the restorer of the dynasty a thousand years ago?"
"He almost broke through the 108th level."
"Times have changed."
Someone countered, "It is precisely because of that reason that for the past thousand years, the special assessments for all disciples entering the sect have been strengthened. If that young ancestor were to be put in the current assessment, even if he were invincible, he would be exhausted by the eighty-first level."
"Don't forget."
"Those three-stage guardians are capable of taking on multiple opponents and are renowned among their peers, even within the Divine Guard Army. Moreover, although the first and even second stages may seem weak, it doesn't mean that the examinee can pass without any effort."
"As this accumulates..."
"We will then conquer seventy more cultivators at the third level of cultivation, including two at the inner strength level, and they are all at the third level of cultivation."
The man said.
His words suddenly stopped, as if someone had grabbed him by the neck.
A full quarter of an hour passed.
He gasped in horror, "What is he going to do?"
However, no one answered this question.
Because at this moment, the figure on the eighty-first floor moved again, launching a wide and sweeping attack towards the next floor.
The others watched this scene unfold.
They all remained silent.
Only the glint in their eyes revealed the turmoil in their hearts.
Meanwhile, the disciples were in the square.
There was already complete silence.
......
The sun sets in the west.
On the seventh step of the 100th spirit.
Qin Jiu's clothes were torn to shreds from the repeated battles. His blood and qi surrounded him, and his exposed body, as well as his solemn face, were covered in blood. This was a manifestation of his blood and qi being circulated to the extreme.
Below, on the steps, were two burly figures who had already fallen down.
Those were two truly accomplished and strong individuals.
He fought against the two men.
It took almost half an hour to blast the other party off that step.
"Junior brother, stop here."
suddenly.
A deep voice came from above.
The figure was nearly forty years old, exuding a terrifying aura. His expression was solemn as he spoke, "We two have not only achieved great internal strength, but have also cultivated secret power. Your strength is formidable, and we cannot guarantee our restraint when we make a move."
"If anything goes wrong..."
"Gentlemen, there is no need to worry. I, Qin, will bear all the consequences."
Qin Jiu exhaled a breath of stale air.
We are about to reach the summit.
How could we possibly stop at this moment?
He revived the withered tree and dispelled the discomfort in his body.
Then he stepped forward.
Upon hearing this, the man frowned.
During the sect entrance examination, neither disciples nor guardians are allowed to carry weapons. While this reduces the risk of injury or death, it does not mean that there will be no casualties at all, especially when the strength of both sides is similar, making it extremely easy for mistakes to occur.
The person who challenged him at this time was a third-level cultivator.
However, its strength is at least at the level of perfect growth.
If the two sides take action.
It's impossible to control the force at all.
To determine the winner, one must go all out; however, that would inevitably result in mutual destruction, and most likely, the one who would be injured would be the challenger.
He pondered for a moment, then looked at the other person.
Now that Qin Jiu has reached the final level, he can at least be considered a true disciple.
If this person is truly injured.
The sect will definitely be held accountable...
"It's my duty."
The other person sighed slightly, then stepped forward with a cold expression.
Seeing this, the man had no choice but to follow.
'Buzz'
A terrifying, powerful wind swept through.
Their robes fluttered in the wind.
And Qin Jiu.
The instant he stepped onto this step, he used his palm as a blade, unleashing a terrifying killing intent that aimed directly at the two men's faces.
"How dare you!"
"So you're going to attack both of us at the same time?"
The two men's expressions changed drastically.
He immediately clenched his fist and met the attack.
"boom"
The steps were made of an unknown type of stone.
The ground remained unharmed during the collision, but the stone steps trembled slightly.
"Such strong internal strength."
Qin Jiu's expression hardened.
At this moment, the internal energy within his body was circulating wildly.
The internal energy transmitted from these two people was not only intensely hot, but its depth was also incomparable to the previous fully-cultivated internal strength. He had only achieved the third stage of mastery, and there were still some main meridians in his body that had not been opened.
The longer the time, the better.
The more unfavorable the situation, the worse it will become.
However, as soon as this thought arose, the two powerful cultivators met his palms with their chests, one in front and one behind.
"Bang,"
"..."
Two burly men, as tall as iron towers, staggered backward.
Immediately, something went wrong.
Then he fell to the next step.
This also means that the two of them are out of the game.
"I lost."
"Pei Jing, the dignified commander of the Divine Guard Army, who once dominated an army of ten thousand and was known as the Thunder and Wind General, was actually defeated here..."
The burly man's voice was full of energy.
He cupped his hands in greeting to Qin Jiu and said, "I am completely convinced of my defeat at the hands of my junior brother. Congratulations on reaching the top, junior brother."
"I am Meng Tingyu, Commander of the Divine Guard Army. Congratulations in advance, Junior Brother Qin."
Another serious-looking figure.
At this point, he also bowed with his hands clasped in greeting.
Qin Jiu's lips twitched. He gave the two men a deep look and returned their greeting, saying, "Your martial arts skills, senior brothers, have left a deep impression on me. You flatter me."
"Junior brother, don't waste time."
"Let's go up."
"There's still one more challenge waiting for you at the very top."
Pei Jing looked serious.
After saying these words, she and Meng Tingyu stood on either side of each other again, no longer looking at him.
But a hint of relief flashed in their eyes.
"There's one more hurdle?"
Qin Jiu was taken aback.
He then stepped past the two men and entered the mountain gate.
Then a figure stood inside the door.
Their eyes met.
A look of astonishment appeared on their faces.
