Chapter 166 Qiankun Square
Chapter 166 Qiankun Square
With the battle over, Ye Qi and his companions had no intention of spending the night on the bloody riverbank. Taking advantage of the bright moon and clear wind, they rushed towards the final Qiankun Square. After all, after experiencing this battle, dozens of casualties were enough to produce two more ninth-level green jade tablets. The final not only determined the number of places to enter the Qiankun Academy, but also the Mu Ling Formation that even Jindan stage powerhouses coveted!
When the sun rose, the three of them had already arrived at the Qiankun Square. Looking at the intricately carved white rock circular platform, Ye Qi suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, as if this battle would not be so smooth!
Just as Ye Qi was stunned, the deacon from Qiankun Academy walked out and stood in the center of the square. He said in a deep voice, "Everyone! This trial has reached its end. Next is the quota competition. Among all the people, there are eighty-seven people with a Green Jade Tablet level of seven or above. Only forty-nine of them will be able to enter Qiankun Academy and receive a spiritual energy irrigation from the Soul-Mudding Formation. The rules of the final competition are a free-for-all mode with no rules and no restrictions. The forty-nine people who persist to the end will pass the assessment. All participants will enter the final venue with the Green Jade Tablet in their hands!"
Ye Qi's expression suddenly grew serious. He subconsciously grasped Shu'er's wrist and hesitated for a moment. He really couldn't think of any way to help Shu'er. After all, he had already been admitted to Qiankun Academy and was not qualified to compete on stage. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Brother! I can't participate in this final assessment. I entrust Shu'er to you!"
Wu Bai looked at his junior brother's nervous expression, then glanced at Shu'er's delicate and frail appearance. He patted Ye Qi's shoulder and said, "Don't worry! I will definitely protect my sister-in-law!"
"It's not my sister-in-law, Senior Brother, you..."
"Then today, I will rely on you, brother! Ahem!"
After Jingshu got off Ziyun's back, she staggered and pretended to fall, coughed lightly a few times, then stood up and bowed slightly. Her soft words and pretentious manner made Ye Qi feel nauseous, but seeing her way of seducing men, he always felt a little uncomfortable.
"Let's go! It's time for us to go on stage!" Wu Bai said.
Seeing the two of them entering the Baiyan Circular Platform with the crowd, Ye Qi had no choice but to watch the battle that was about to begin quietly from below. Fortunately, the restrictions in Shu'er's body had been broken. No matter how strong these people were, Shu'er was able to protect herself!
But just when he thought of this, Mu Lao suddenly said: "The spiritual power restriction here has been lifted!"
Ye Qi's expression was suddenly shocked. The restriction on spiritual power was lifted. Doesn't that mean that the opponents that Shu'er and the others encountered have also recovered their strength? Those who can come here are all outstanding people, and their cultivation level is not too low. This time it is really troublesome!
"The requirements of Qiankun Academy are still so strict. First, they test the means beyond cultivation, and then screen the talent for cultivation. In this way, those who can be shortlisted are truly gifted!"
"But if this happens, Shu'er will be in danger!"
Ye Qi's face was always difficult to relax. He had attracted the jealousy of too many people these days. It was all right and wrong. If something unexpected happened again today, it would be a big disaster. In the past, he relied on his spiritual power advantage and was not afraid. But now everyone's restrictions have been lifted. If Wu Mian was as anxious as he was last night and countless killers offered rewards for his life, it would be a disastrous situation!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Suddenly, three bells rang out, and then the deacon presiding over the final assessment shouted, "The trial begins!"
On the circular platform, Wu Bai protected Jingshu behind him and looked at everyone vigilantly. On the circular platform, which was neither too big nor too small, the eighty-seven people were standing shoulder to shoulder and body to body, but the distance between them was no more than three or five steps. Although the assessment had begun, no one dared to act rashly and be the first to step out!
"You're a bunch of wimps! Watch me!"
"Illusion of Nothingness!"
Jingshu walked past Wu Bai, turned sideways and swung her arm, and the ball of light in her jade hand was suddenly grabbed and exploded. Countless people looked at this girl who stood out from the crowd, but after a while, there was still no change in this space, and no one was injured, as if nothing had happened. Only a silly and cute girl was still standing there awkwardly, maintaining a posture that she thought was very cool!
"Brothers! Pick on the weak and eliminate this powerless fool first!"
"Ah! Brother Wu Bai! Help!"
Jingshu saw someone shouting, and then a group of people swarmed towards her. She was so scared that she ran behind Wu Bai, squatted on the ground, hugged the little head with her arms, and curled up into a ball!
Wu Bai was at a loss for what to do. He originally thought he was just protecting a little girl to pass the test, but he didn't know that she slipped in front of him without paying attention, which directly increased the difficulty of the test to hell level. He was really the first to stick his head out. This person's spit could drown two people. He really underestimated this brother-in-law who suddenly appeared!
When a group of people saw that the mysterious girl suddenly hid behind a man, they all turned their spears and attacked Wu Bai. Fortunately, Wu Bai was fast enough and he was able to hold on for a while. However, as time went on, the endless fists and swords came towards him. No matter how strong he was, few people could get to this point by luck. He was beaten until he was breathless and out of breath.
Those standing in the front row also saw that he was difficult to deal with. They had been fighting for a long time, but the people behind them had hardly made any moves. If they continued to consume their energy like this, they would inevitably be targeted. Although they didn't know why these dozens of people, including themselves, had to fight him alone, the current battle atmosphere was like this. With the lessons learned from the previous incident, no one dared to be the first to attack again, so everyone was reluctant to move forward with their own ulterior motives. This also gave Wu Bai a chance to catch his breath!
"Sister-in-law! I will send you out of the field soon. If you continue like this, I can't guarantee your safety!" Wu Bai said while panting.
Jing Shu, however, remained squatting on the ground, unmoved. When she heard Wu Bai asking her to leave, she burst into tears and cried out, hugging Wu Bai's thighs, saying, "Brother Wu Bai! I'm scared!"
Wu Bai was caught in a dilemma and didn't know how to solve the problem. He couldn't just kick her off the stage! But if she was there, he would have to distract himself to protect her, and his speed advantage would be completely unavailable!
"Brothers! He can't hold on any longer! Go!"
Among the crowd, there were always a few hot-blooded young men who rushed forward shouting and not giving Wu Bai a chance to rest. After all, one less person meant one less competitor!
However, just as the sword energy of the crowd was about to pierce Wu Bai and the others, suddenly a white jade sword pierced into the ground, and the powerful energy broke the sword energy of the crowd. Then a purple figure fell from the sky and slowly landed next to the sword like a fairy descending to the earth.
As she stretched out her arms and clenched her jade hands, the long sword vibrated a few times like a living thing before leaving the ground and flying into the girl's jade hand. It then stood upright in front of her. Her beautiful eyes suddenly opened, and murderous intent instantly filled the entire square. She shouted in a deep and cold voice: "Intermediate Spiritual Rank Martial Skill! Break Time with One Sword!"
