Chapter 1067 - 1084: The Trial Begins
This world is like this, no matter where you are, whether in the secular world or in the world of Martial Artists, with strong strength, others will fear and respect you. Just like now, after they learned that Li Jiuling has the power of the Divine Realm, everyone showed their respect towards Ye Feng, not daring to provoke Ye Feng and Li Jiuling...
At this moment, among the six people, one of them, a man with a flat-top haircut, stepped forward and shouted towards the thatched hut, "Elder Bai Yunzi, now that we have ten people, can we start the challenge?"
"Ten people, huh?" At that moment, a lazy voice came from within the hut.
Shortly afterwards, an elder in a white robe with long white eyebrows walked out of the hut.
The elder appeared to be over a hundred years old, giving an aura of an otherworldly sage, a transcendent figure.
Ye Feng immediately recognized that Bai Yunzi was a mid-stage Divine Realm expert.
A mid-stage Divine Realm expert indeed has the qualification to guard the entrance of the great formation here.
The elder, looking sleepy and lazy, gazed around at the people, then started counting, "Hmm, not bad, indeed ten people. Follow me!"
After speaking, Bai Yunzi led Ye Feng and the others to the edge of the cliff, where there were three steel wires stretching all the way to the cliff on the opposite island.
Bai Yunzi leapt onto the steel wire, his body as light as could be, moving swiftly, and with the elasticity of the wire, he leapt dozens of meters, reaching the opposite cliff in less than a minute.
Standing on the opposite cliff, Bai Yunzi said lightly, "This is your first test, come over. You can go in groups of three or four, walking on one wire. As long as you reach the other side safely, you’ve passed the first test!"
Even though Bai Yunzi was standing on the cliff over a thousand meters away from Ye Feng and the others, his voice clearly reached their ears.
Upon hearing Bai Yunzi’s words, everyone started stepping onto the steel wires.
First was Ye Feng, who chose the middle wire, stepping on it first. The second was Li Jiuling, who chose the left wire, while the flat-top middle-aged man from earlier chose the right wire.
As Ye Feng stepped onto the steel wire, the scene in front of him changed instantly.
From the outside, it seemed like the cliff was only a few hundred meters high, but now it looked over ten thousand meters high and bottomless! And here, flight was completely prohibited; it was impossible to fly.
Falling from such a height of tens of thousands of meters meant certain death, with no chance of survival. Even a Divine Realm expert would be smashed to pieces if they fell from here..."
Upon seeing this astonishing height, fear appeared in everyone’s eyes. They hadn’t expected the height to transform from just a few hundred meters to thousands or even over ten thousand meters when viewed from outside the wires.
Having just stepped onto the wires and witnessing the terrifying height, fear grew in their hearts, and they had the urge to retreat.
A Legendary beginner Martial Artist following them had walked barely twenty meters before being overwhelmed by inner fear, wanting to turn back and exit.
However, he had barely taken a step back when Bai Yunzi on the opposite side flicked a steel needle, enveloped in True Essence, making a piercing sound as it shot towards the Martial Artist trying to retreat, tearing through the Space Barrier, and in the blink of an eye, reaching him.
"Pfft~~" Blood splattered, and the Legendary beginner Martial Artist didn’t have time to dodge, getting his head pierced by the steel needle. His body went limp, foot slipping, and he fell into the bottomless abyss.
Witnessing this scene, everyone trembled, fear showing in their eyes.
Bai Yunzi said calmly, "Once you’ve stepped onto the steel wire, there’s no turning back. If you wish to retreat, your only path is death. So, obediently move forward; there’s a sliver of hope if you advance, but if you choose to retreat, only death awaits you..."
Everyone regretted stepping onto the wires, as retreat was no longer an option, and only death awaited them.
With this realization, they had no choice but to brace themselves and continue forward.
For Li Jiuling, who was at the beginning stage of the Divine Realm, this steel wire posed no pressure at all. He imitated Bai Yunzi, swiftly jumping and moving on the wire. Although he couldn’t match Bai Yunzi’s speed, he did so with great ease.
In less than three minutes, Li Jiuling had successfully reached the opposite side.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng and the others had covered nearly a third of the path, with Ye Feng remaining completely unflustered, walking on the wire in a relaxed and composed manner, as if strolling leisurely in his own back garden.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~" Suddenly, strong gusts of wind began to blow fiercely.
The strong winds directly destabilized the Martial Artists on the steel wire, causing their bodies to sway.
In an instant, the steel wire shook violently, yet Ye Feng seemed unaffected, walking steadily on the wire without the slightest hint of fear.
"Ah~~" Finally, at this moment, a Legendary beginner Martial Artist couldn’t help but shout loudly.
That Legendary beginner Martial Artist trembled, his body slowly bending down.
"I can’t take it anymore!" he shouted desperately as the threat of death loomed nearer, torn between the fierce storm on one side and the swaying wire on the other, with the bottomless abyss beneath, utterly terrified.
Finally, he couldn’t resist anymore, reaching out to grasp the wire.
However, as he reached out and grabbed the wire, a strong electric current surged through.
"Crackle~~~" The sound of electricity buzzed, and the high-voltage current coursed through the Legendary beginner Martial Artist.
"Ah~~" The overwhelmed Martial Artist screamed in agony as he was electrocuted, falling off the steel wire.
