638 The Lotus Lake (2/2)

Upon hearing this, Mo Wen's eyes flashed with a look of revelation. So Jin Ying was the famous Yeyuan team leader. Before this, he only knew that Jin Ying was a member of the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall, but he did not know that she actually had such an important role.

Fengwu team and Yeyuan team had always been rivals. Since Jin Ying knew that he was a member of the Fengwu team, she naturally would not be pleased with him.

As they were talking, the sky suddenly darkened. A frightening Power of Will descended from the sky. The Power of Will was utterly terrifying. It seemed endless, as though it contained the very might of heaven. The entire world seemed to be suffocating from the pressure of the Power of Will.

Rumble! Thunder and lightning filled the sky. Dark clouds enveloped them and it suddenly started to rain heavily. Strangely, the heavy rain only poured on a small area in the center of the lake. The rest of the area was actually not affected at all.

Standing in the garden and looking out at the heavy rain pouring down on the lake in the distance, it practically felt like two completely different worlds.

Suddenly, a huge rumble sounded in everyone's minds. A vast will directly crashed into everyone's consciousness.

The next moment, strings of information suddenly appeared in everyone's minds.

A light flashed in Mo Wen's eyes and he awakened from his state of revelation. He stared intently at the lake in the distance.

The Will of the Tower Spirit had just sent them the mission for their trial. They needed to cross the Lotus Lake!

On the other side of the Lotus Lake from their position, there was a lotus pavilion. Whoever first reached the lotus pavilion would be the final victor.

There were no paths on either side of the Lotus Lake. If they wanted to cross, they could only fly over the lake's surface.

Mo Wen looked towards the end of the Lotus Lake. The lake was not big; its two ends were about a thousand meters apart. With his ability, crossing the Lotus Lake seemed to be too easy, but he knew that it was impossible for the trials of the Fighting Spirit Tower to be so simple.

All of the youthful ancient martial art practitioners around Mo Wen had also received the prompt from the Tower Spirit.

A burly youth was the first to make a move. He had a square face and a tough look. The aura on his body was rich, much higher than that of normal intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners. Based on his cultivation, he should not have been weaker than Gong Zhangyan.

The youth did not say a word. He looked forward as he walked towards the Lotus Lake, taking large, confident strides.

Thunder sounded and lightning flashed over the Lotus Lake. Heavy rain poured down. The youth paused for just a moment, then began his attempt to cross the lake.

Everyone's gaze was locked on the burly youth. They all knew that crossing the Lotus Lake would not be too easy. Since someone had come out to be the first to try, they naturally would not miss the opportunity to observe his progress.

The burly youth had just stepped into the lake when his figure suddenly shook. It was as though a large mountain had suddenly pressed down on his body.

The lower half of his body fell into the water and it seemed that the burly youth would be completely submerged. If a part of them fell into the lake, it meant that they had failed the trial.

At the last moment, his body suddenly exploded with a strong black light. The black light shot towards the water's surface, immediately stirring up waves. The burly youth used the recoil and jumped, flying onto the surface of the lake.

However, anyone could tell that the burly youth was having a hard time standing on the surface of the lake. It required almost all of his strength to be just about able to stand properly.

Then, just as the crowd believed that the surface of the lake only had heavy gravity, an unexpected thing happened. A rumble sounded from the dark clouds in the sky. A blinding bolt of white lightning struck down. In the blink of an eye, it crossed the sky and crashed towards the burly youth.

The expression of the burly youth changed slightly. From his sleeve, he drew a blue pocket-sized umbrella and threw it into the sky. The umbrella suddenly became bigger. It floated above the burly youth, slowly spinning.

Lightning struck the blue umbrella. It caused the figure of the burly youth to tremble, but at least he had blocked it.

He took a step forward and leaped onto a green lotus leaf. The buoyancy of the lotus leaf greatly lessened the pressure on the burly youth. He did not dare delay. Stepping on lotus leaf after lotus leaf and holding off the heavy rain, thunder, and lightning from the sky, he walked forward with large steps.

The trials of the Fighting Spirit Tower did not necessarily require that everyone cross to the end of the Lotus Lake. As long as they passed a certain distance, they could also receive a suitable reward. The further they went, the greater the reward. Of course, only the first person that reached the end would receive the best reward.

Mo Wen did not know what the reward of the Lotus Lake was, but he could guess that if it appeared in the Fighting Spirit Tower, it certainly would not be average.

Also, as expected, the Fighting Spirit Tower was miraculous. This trial was clearly designed for ancient martial art practitioners. If they were immortal cultivators, such a trial would certainly have not appeared. There were practically too many ways that immortal cultivators could use to cross the Lotus Lake.

Mo Wen eyes flashed. He too strode towards the Lotus Lake. He was not the second person to do so. After the burly youth, there were already a lot of people who had anxiously entered the Lotus Lake. After all, only the first person to cross to the end of the Lotus Lake could receive the best reward. No one was willing to fall behind others.
