Chapter 567: Investigating the Coiling Dragon Wall
Liu Xiaoyun felt like he had stepped into an illusion. He had to face sword intent flying from all over the sky with every step he took. He had to crush everyone before he could proceed further.
However, he did not slow down at all. He did not leave deep footprints like Murong Chong did. Instead, he seemed to be at ease.
“Pa!”
When Liu Xiaoyun reached the wall, he stretched his palm out, placing it on the wall. Then, he closed his eyes.
One second…two seconds…three seconds…four seconds… Soon, ten seconds pa.s.sed. Nothing happened to Liu Xiaoyun.
“Finally! Someone pa.s.sed. I was starting to think that no one can endure touching the wall for ten seconds.”
“Liu Xiaoyun is pretty strong. It looks like he won’t have a problem getting into the top ten.”
While the crowd discussed, another ten seconds pa.s.sed. The ambient temperature dropped, frost could clearly be seen covering Liu Xiaoyun’s clothes.
His aura erupted out as well. Although he had not moved, he was clearly fighting an intense battle; his aura strengthened continuously.
After thirty seconds had pa.s.sed, Liu Xiao Yun had yet to move. His hand remained on that mysterious Coiling Dragon Wall.
Forty seconds…fifty seconds…Liu Xiaoyun still did not move. However, his clothes were now frozen and the tall Coiling Dragon Wall was covered in frost.
The ambient temperature plummeted even further. Everyone had to circulate their Essence in order to endure.
“What exactly is on that wall? To think that Liu Xiaoyun has to fully bring out his state of ice! I can’t endure this for much longer.”
“That’s right. It is cold, really cold. That’s it for me. I have to step back further.”
Liu Xiaoyun’s state of ice was very strange. It did not seem remarkable at first. However, after it silently built up, the crowd felt that even their bones and blood were starting to freeze; they had no choice but to move away.
Although it was clearly extremely cold, that wealthy merchant’s forehead was covered in sweat.
It was now fifty seconds. That meant that the merchant had to pay Liu Xiaoyun half a million Medial Grade Spirit Stones; this was one third of the profits he had made today. His heart could not help but ache over this loss.
Xiao Chen closed his eyes, carefully sensing the cold Qi in his body. This cold Qi was formless and traceless; once it entered the body, it merged with the blood and could not be separated.
“Strange, this is the first time I’ve seen a state of ice at this level,” Xiao Chen muttered to himself.
He infused his Spiritual Sense into his blood and had to search very long before he finally found that faintly discernible ice Qi.
After he expended a lot of effort, the lightning-attributed Essence in his body completely forced out the cold Qi.
“Bang!”
After sixty seconds pa.s.sed, Liu Xiaoyun could no longer endure. The frost on his body exploded.
Unlike the others, Liu Xiaoyun did not get blasted out. His feet remained planted on the ground as he said indifferently, “The ancient Sages are indeed capable.”
Then, he pushed off the ground gently and flew away.
The state of ice in the air disappeared and the crowd came back closer. They saw the frost on the Coiling Dragon Wall turn into steam and rise into the air.
Covered in fog, the Coiling Dragon Wall looked even more mysterious.
Seeing Liu Xiaoyun disappear, the wealthy merchant smiled faintly and heaved a sigh of relief. He believed that Liu Xiaoyun did not care for the six hundred thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones at all.
“Remember to send the six hundred thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones to the Drifting Snow Sword Sect. Consider it as my contribution to the sect.”
Before the merchant’s smile could fade away, a clear voice came from the distance, making him very depressed.
Word of how the strange Coiling Dragon Wall defeated so many cultivators and how Liu Xiaoyun successfully touched it for sixty seconds quickly spread throughout Dragon Sealing City.
This news drew in many more cultivators. Several famed geniuses came forward, interested in giving it a try.
This Coiling Dragon Wall became like a tool for measuring a cultivator’s strength. Some people could endure for a long time, and some just a while. There were also people who could not even get close.
From a certain angle, this showed the gap between the various cultivators.
“The eight n.o.ble Clans’ Qian Wen came as well. He also lasted for a full minute.”
“The Nangong Clan’s Nangong Ziyue came as well. She lasted for fifty seconds.”
“The Supreme Yi Palace’s disciple, Gong Yangyu, lasted for forty seconds.”
Many people from the ten great sects and eight n.o.ble Clans came. This resulted in the Coiling Dragon Wall becoming even more famous. However, few could endure for a minute.
Sima Lingxuan did not come. Out of the other scions of the eight n.o.ble Clans, only the Qian Clan’s Qian Wen lasted for a minute. The others only lasted for forty or fifty seconds.
Murong Chong looked a little sad when he stared at Qian Wen. It looked like when they fought yesterday, Qian Wen had only used half his strength.
Yun Kexin smiled and said, “Junior Brother Xiao Chen, why don’t you give it a try?”
Xiao Chen had already been interested for some time. Furthermore, the fee was just ten thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones; he could easily afford that. After paying the fee, Xiao Chen stood at the starting line. He looked at the Coiling Dragon Wall five hundred meters in front and smiled faintly.
“Ka ca!”
