The fifteenth bell stroke had defeated six core disciples of the Thunder Temple.
"Buzz!"
The sixteenth bell sound rang out.
As long as he was able to last for three breaths of time, he would be able to reach the 8-star rating.
"It's about time. If it's too high, then I'll be targeted. I just came in to receive the Thunder's refinement."
Ye Xuan thought to himself, he was about to fall down on the second breath.
However, at this moment.
"Everyone listen up, for those who reach the 8-star rating, the reward is three thousand Soul Magic Pearl, and for those who get higher, the score will increase by three thousand, so on and so forth!"
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice entered everyone's ears.
When everyone heard this, they all looked towards the source of the voice and found that the speaker was a middle-aged man dressed in grey. Maybe there were people who did not recognize him, but it was impossible for the higher ups like Ling Qiang to not recognize him.
"Greetings, Hall Master!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
The one who gave out the prize was the current hall master of the Thunder Temple, Ling Xinglong.
"What? The reward of an eight star rating is three thousand Soul Magic Pearl?"
After hearing this, both the eyes of the people on the stage and the disciples outside lit up.
Ye Xuan was the same.
"Holy shit, didn't we say there would be no rewards?"
Ye Xuan was a little puzzled, but he quickly thought about it.
To him, three thousand Soul Magic Pearl was not a small amount, but to others, it was an enormous amount of wealth.
Was the sixteenth bell going to ring or not?
"Tsk, this son of a b * tch doesn't make money, just give it your all!"
Ye Xuan immediately made a decision.
Pull!
After three breaths, there were only a few dozen people left on the stage.
These dozens of people all reached the 8-star rating, a few of them even survived because they were provoked by the Soul Magic Pearl, if not they would have already fallen.
Among them, only Ye Xuan was the First Stage of Ghost Passive Boundary, and the others were all at least Second Stage of Ghost Passive Boundary.
"How is this possible, this brat's Soul Strength has also reached the 8-star rating?"
"F * ck, could it be that the words of the hall master made his mind firmer and allowed him to hold on?"
"He's so rich that he can make ghosts grind and grind, this brat really risked his life for the Soul Magic Pearl!"
"No, he seems to still have some strength left."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Xuan.
Indeed, Ye Xuan still had some strength left after the sixteenth bell chime.
"Good boy, try the 17th bell!"
Ling Qiang's eyes also lit up, and then he punched the Soul-calling Clock.
"Buzz!"
The seventeenth Soul-calling Clock's bell sound spread out leisurely.
When some people heard this, they immediately went limp and couldn't hold on any longer.
"Plop!" "Plop!"
In a single breath, three people fell.
In the second breath, another three people fell.
At that moment, there were only eight Tester left on the stage.
In the third breath of time, there were only six Tester left on the stage.
Jiao Chong, Gu Han, and Xu Liang, the three prodigies of the Third Stage of Ghost Passive Boundary were still alright. Because the two disciples of the Illusory Water Lei Jiao s, Jiao Heng and Jiao Heng, were from a demon clan and had lived for a hundred years, their Soul Strength was also stronger than ordinary people.
However, Ye Xuan this First Stage of Ghost Passive Boundary could actually hold on, it was simply a miracle.
Unbelievable!
It was simply unbelievable!
However, Ye Xuan was already at the end of his tether as well. Seventeen bells were his limit, and even if he laid down now, it would still be the evaluation of his eight and a half stars. There were a total of six thousand Soul Magic Pearl.
If he could last for another bell chime, it would be enough for him to break through to the Second Stage of Ghost Passive Boundary with nine thousand Soul Magic Pearl.
"Impossible, why isn't this kid lying down yet?"
Jiao Lie could not believe that there was still another First Stage of Ghost Passive Boundary that had not fallen to the ground, and he was already at the end of his rope. However, if he fell before Ye Xuan, wouldn't he be laughed to death?
"Even if I die in body and soul, I can't fall before you!"
Jiao Lie clenched his teeth, and prepared to endure.
Ling Qiang looked around, and in the end, his gaze landed on Ye Xuan.
"Bam!"
He did not forget his duty and punched the Soul-calling Clock.
"Buzz!"
The eighteenth bell sound rang out.
Suddenly, Jiao Lie and Jiao Heng could no longer hold on, and their bodies went limp.
But Ye Xuan did not fall, he was only swaying.
"No …" "Perhaps..."
Jiao Lie did not dare believe that he had lost to a human, a human whose realm was lower than him and who was seventy years younger than him.
If he were awake at this moment, he would definitely crash into the wall.
The entire audience held their breath, waiting to see if Ye Xuan could survive this eighteenth bell chime.
"Too terrifying, truly too terrifying, Ye Xuan's Soul Strength is actually stronger than me, if he is able to last past this one bell chime, then he will be ranked as a 9-star."
Outside the arena, Ling Xiao said in shock, he never thought that he would actually bring back such a monster for the Thunder Temple.
A mere First Stage of Ghost Passive Boundary was comparable to a Third Stage of Ghost Passive Boundary, so their battle strength was probably not that weak. It was definitely a good choice to challenge someone who was a level higher.
The gaze of Ling Qiang, who was present, landed on Ye Xuan, and said: "This kid said that he just broke through the Ghost Passive Boundary, and it's already so powerful. If it was an ordinary First Stage of Ghost Passive Boundary, it's simply impossible to refine so many Soul Magic Pearl, and instead, it would cause his cultivation to go berserk.
At this moment, Ye Xuan had already endured past a single breath, and at the same time, became the focus of everyone's attention.
Jiao Chong, Gu Han and Xu Liang also looked at Ye Xuan, they especially hoped that Ye Xuan would fall now, so that they could regain some face.
However, Ye Xuan still did not fall.
If I had known earlier, I would have let Luo Luo use her Eye of Charm. This way, I could have endured until the nineteenth or even the twentieth bell chime.
Ye Xuan thought with his last bit of consciousness.
The nineteenth bell was the evaluation of nine stars and a half. There were twelve thousand Soul Magic Pearl and at that time, not only would he be able to break through, his Megatron would also be able to rise greatly.
"Forget it, I'll just give up."
Ye Xuan wobbled and took a few steps, then suddenly exerted some strength in his legs and jumped out of the stage.
At this moment, it was two breaths of time.
The entire hall was silent.
Ye Xuan had already held on for two breaths, why did he not hold on any longer, perhaps he had held on?
Chapter 1155 - Combat Test
However, Ye Xuan still knew what he was up to. After the Soul-calling Clock rang, there would be countless of remnant sounds that would attack his soul.
After staying far away from the Soul-calling Clock, his soul had also stabilized, so he didn't continue to take any more attacks.
Compared to the others, he had a very good image. At least he did not fall down, but stood there.
"Huhu, I still can't
hold on. There's only eight and a half stars, but there's also the reward of six thousand Soul Magic Pearl, not bad not bad."
Ye Xuan wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, he looked to be on the verge of collapse.
It had to be said that this Soul-calling Clock was very powerful, because Ling Qiang only used normal attacks.
If Ling Qiang used the Vital Air and the Vientiane Force, the sound of the Soul-calling Clock would be able to instantly shake thousands of souls.
"Wah, Ye Xuan, you're too awesome, you're my idol!"
Ling Yun swept to Ye Xuan's side with a face full of admiration, and supported him.
Ling Xiao also quickly came closer, and said: "Ye Xuan, I never thought that you would be so secretive, whether it is your physique or the Soul Strength, you have already surpassed me, did you really just break through to the Ghost Passive Boundary?"
"Ahem …"
Ye Xuan laughed awkwardly, and said: "Weren't you all present when I made my breakthrough?"
Back then, when he had broken through, Ling Xiao and Ling Yun were still detoxifying themselves and it had only been five days.
Right now, Ling Xiong was sure that Ling Xiao was not lying at all. Ye Xuan's strength could indeed catch up to Ling Xiao's.
"Ye Xuan is just a First Stage of Ghost Passive Boundary, yet his overall result is in the top ten. Then this time, he might be able to get one of the Thunder Forbidden Land's spots." Ling Xiong said to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan nodded silently, and looked at Lord of Thunder Temple.
Right now, he was concerned about the six thousand Soul Magic Pearl. As long as he had the six thousand Special Devouring s, his strength would increase by another level.
"This boy, if his roots are clean, from today onwards, he will become a great powerhouse in our Thunder Temple."
At the same time, he also noticed the look in Ye Xuan's eyes and laughed: "The Soul Strength test is over. Everyone, rest for an hour.
"Also, this is your reward."
Without a second word, Ling Xinglong began to distribute the Soul Magic Pearl, and then threw them towards the core disciples who had achieved an eight star rating in the Soul Strength.
"He's here!"
Seeing the cloth bag that was flying towards him, Ye Xuan's eyes also shot out two Dazzle Light, and inside the bag, there were six thousand of them.
At this moment, he had already recovered a bit, so his movements wouldn't be a problem.
He caught the bag and directly swallowed all six thousand Soul Magic Pearl.
The strength, physique, and Soul Strength had all explosively increased by a large margin in an instant.
If he had another two to three thousand Soul Magic Pearl, he would probably be able to break through to the Second Stage of Ghost Passive Boundary.
Just now, before Lord of Thunder Temple Ling Xinglong spoke, the soul examination was already over.
Jiao Chong, Gu Han, and Xu Liang, the geniuses of the three great Third Stage of Ghost Passive Boundary s, were all evaluated as nine stars, and were slightly better than Ye Xuan in obtaining nine thousand Soul Magic Pearl.
At this time, Ye Xuan thought in his heart, if only he could snatch something from the combat exam.
But unfortunately, this was only a test, and it was probably not allowed.
The next step was to give everyone some time to rest and recover their soul. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to deal with the upcoming combat exam.
After two rounds of tests, there were more than sixty people whose physique and Soul Strength had both reached six stars.
Amongst these sixty odd people, only ten of them could enter the Thunder Forbidden Land and receive the training of Thunder s.
Ye Xuan's Body Test was at eight stars and his Soul Strength was at eight and a half stars, but this was only a test.
He didn't know if there were any rewards for the top ten in the combat exam.
Thinking about that, Ye Xuan could not help but look at the Vice Hall Master of the Thunder Temple.
In the past few years of the Thunder Forbidden Land's Quota Battle assessment, there had been almost no rewards, but this year, there was definitely something that attracted the attention of the Vice Hall Master of the Thunder Temple.
"Could it be me?"
Ye Xuan squinted his eyes.
Thinking of this, it was indeed possible.
Since that was the case, it would be great if he could amaze everyone in battle.
Soon, an hour had passed. After an hour of recovery, the competitors were almost back to their peak.
It was just a test just now, so the recovery of the soul was very fast. If the soul was heavily damaged, it wouldn't be so easy to recover.
Ye Xuan's group of seventy-six began to draw again. Ye Xuan had drawn number twenty-five, which was a good number, at the same age as himself.
Seventy-six people, after the first two matches, only 38 remained.
After two or three matches, there were nineteen people.
In the end, if there was only one person left, nine people would become ten.
Simply put, everyone had to fight three matches, except for the one in the third round.
"That Jiao Chong is number sixty-six, Gu Han is number seventy-three, and Xu Liang is number twenty-seven..."
Ye Xuan secretly noted down the numbers of the three people, because only the three Third Stage of Ghost Passive Boundary geniuses were a threat to him.
As for the others, they were all First Stage of Ghost Passive Boundary and Second Stage of Ghost Passive Boundary, so they were nothing much to him.
As the number of participants was a bit high, the first round of battles was split into different arenas.
In the center of the stage, a glint flashed across the eyes of Elder, and in the next moment, a change occurred to the entire arena.
"Crack!"
The huge arena suddenly descended, becoming one with the floor. At the same time, thirty-eight smaller arenas rose up around the arena.
"Damn, a lift?"
Ye Xuan was shocked, he did not expect the arena to be so high-tech.
However, he quickly realised that this arena should be some sort of mechanism. As long as he used the Vientiane Force, he could activate it, and even he could do it.
"Ye Xuan, your opponent is number twenty-three, Gu Xin."
At this time, Ling Xiao suddenly said.
"Gu Xin, that's the Gu Clan's."
Ye Xuan raised his brows. He had some impression of this name, because the Tester that was in his group during the first round was the First Stage of Ghost Passive Boundary.
It looked like he could easily win the first match.
"The order of the matches has been announced, all Tester will enter the arena!"
Ling Qiang shouted loudly as he floated in the air.
After hearing this, Ye Xuan and that Gu Xin also jumped onto the designated stage.
this Gu Xin is a First Stage of Ghost Passive Boundary, he is two years younger than Ye Xuan, he is only twenty-three.
When he saw that his opponent was Ye Xuan, his expression became extremely ugly, but he was only twenty-three years old, and had only come to try out his skills this year, so it didn't matter who his opponent was.
No, to be exact, Ye Xuan was more suited to be his opponent because the two were of the same level.
Chapter 1156 - Transcending Challenges
"How did your Soul Strength rise to such a level?" Gu Xin could not help but ask.
"I just had a fortuitous encounter with him. It's not easy to cultivate to this level." Ye Xuan said humbly.
"So that's how it is. Let's begin!"
Gu Xin took out a sword.
"Alright!"
Ye Xuan also nodded.
The thirty-eight arenas each held their own battles.
However, in the blink of an eye, the victor of this stage, Ye Xuan, was decided.
"Eye of Control!"
In just an instant, Gu Xin was completely
controlled by Ye Xuan.
Then, Ye Xuan directly punched out. This fist was very ordinary, it did not use Vital Air, nor did it use Vientiane Force.
The fist landed on Gu Xin's body, directly sending him flying.
"Plop!"
Gu Xin landed outside of the stage.
Defeat!
"What's going on, why isn't Gu Xin retaliating?"
"This is too fake, isn't it?" This is too fake, isn't it?
"No, that's not right. That Ye Xuan used an illusion technique!"
"Illusion Techniques? That's right, Gu Xin's soul hasn't recovered yet, so it's very easy for him to be affected by illusions, which is why he was defeated. "
Although it was said that they were divided into thirty-eight stages, most people's eyes were focused on the few stages, and Ye Xuan was one of them.
At the same time, the victors of the stages were Jiao Chong, Gu Han and Xu Liang.
"This kid, he actually has a soul-type ability. He's quite formidable."
Lord of Thunder Temple, who was watching from the side, squinted his eyes.
He also thought that Ye Xuan used an illusion to confuse Gu Xin, and only then did he punch him out of the stage.
Following that, he also took a glance around, and in the end, his gaze landed on Jiao Heng and Gu Han, who were both in Illusory Water Lei Jiao.
Ling Qiang took note of the look in his eyes and slightly nodded his head to show that he understood.
Lord of Thunder Temple's intention was to let Jiao Heng and Gu Han have the next match.
Jiao Heng was the genius of the Illusory Water Lei Jiao, the Second Stage of Ghost Passive Boundary. Even though Gu Han was a human, his Third Stage of Ghost Passive Boundary was an entire realm higher than Jiao Heng's.
When the two fought, Gu Han had a 90% chance of winning, because the Thunder Forbidden Land's Quota Battle had a rule, and that was that the Spirit Demon Race could not change into their original forms, and had to fight in human form.
If Gu Han won, then only four people from Illusory Water Lei Jiao would remain.
At that time, another person would be eliminated in the third round. That would be three people.
With ten spots and three Illusory Water Lei Jiao s as the number, this amount was already pretty good. If the Illusory Water Lei Jiao Family took five of them, then it would be half, which would definitely arouse the displeasure of the other clans.
