Chapter 556 (2/2)

However, in his current condition, the act of removing his armor would be a distraction. Thus, he braced himself and absorbed even more energy into his body. At the same time, he used even more spirit crystals, flooding his body with a terrifying amount of energy, pus.h.i.+ng himself to the brink of implosion. The people pa.s.sing by him could see that he was bleeding from the seven orifices and were given a big fright.

Standing at the entrance, Xiao Wei became even more anxious. ”That d.a.m.nable kid is actually absorbing even more energy? Is he trying to kill himself?”

He could see that Xiang Shaoyun was in a crisis. If no help was given, death through bodily implosion was very possible.

”Hehe, Xiao Wei, what a nice disciple you have recruited,” mocked Feng Huosuo.

Xiao Wei had nothing to say; his heart was filled with disappointment for Xiang Shaoyun wasting a special-recruit quota. Toward the end of the time limit, quite a number of people had already reached the top. Naturally, there were still a lot of people struggling on the stairs, and some had already given up. Since the pressure wasn't something they could withstand, it was pointless to keep struggling. They all wore listless looks.

Tang Longfei and Lady Shura also noticed Xiang Shaoyun's condition. Their hearts were filled with worry. As for Di Tong, who had also arrived at the top, his face was filled with joy. He wanted nothing more than for Xiang Shaoyun to fail. On the other hand, Di Shang was still stuck at the final 10 steps. However, he did not appear nervous. Rather, he turned around to look at Xiang Shaoyun.

When he saw Xiang Shaoyun bleeding from his seven orifices, he laughed, ”Haha, interesting. Do you think you can get through the test just by breaking through? Hah, look how you've played yourself to death!”

Not far from the stairs, the Han Clan sisters couldn't see Xiang Shaoyun clearly, but they also similarly sensed that he was in a terrible condition. Before long, the time period allotted for the test would end. If Xiang Shaoyun still remained where he was, he would be disqualified.

That also signified that they wouldn't be able to join either. They felt that it was a pity, but they felt even more indignation on behalf of Xiang Shaoyun. After all, they both knew his strength and did not believe that he should have been eliminated at this stage.

Time pa.s.sed, and in the final 30 minutes, a change finally occurred with Xiang Shaoyun.

”Roar! Roar!”

Abruptly, apparitions of dragon and tiger surged out of his body and roared, unleas.h.i.+ng a terrifying pressure that caused the stairs to ripple around him. At the same time, all nine of his stars erupted like a volcanic eruption.

The terrifying explosion of energy charged the final node within his body, forcefully smas.h.i.+ng through it. Ordinarily, an energy eruption of this level would cause a backlash and directly destroy Xiang Shaoyun's acupoints and meridians. But with the suppression of his armor and the formations, the energy was suppressed, and it coursed smoothly within him, reaching every corner of his body.
