Chapter 133 Beginning of the Trial

That sphere of light was only a foot thick . On the outside, it looked like it was formed from countless strands of thread .

But those weren’t threads, but countless, thin wind blades . It was as if countless blades had been compressed into a ball .

Furthermore, within that sphere was a red liquid incessantly circulating . It was extremely odd .

That sphere shot out completely straight . All the withered leaves and branches it pa.s.sed by immediately turned to ashes .

As it whistled over, the terrifying gales coming from it carved a long scar into the ground .

Even Long Chen was shocked . Although Little Snow had told Long Chen he had his own special moves now, this was the first time he had seen one .

This Qi Xin, he better block it head-on . If he dodges, I’ll really be screwed over, Long Chen incessantly prayed inside .

Qi Xin turned pale from fright in the face of this attack . He almost choked, sensing it was a grave threat to him .

“Skywater protecting the body!” Qi Xin shouted and his spiritual qi circulating . That ball of water surrounding him changed . Strange lines spread across it, turning it into a veined pearl .

BOOM! Qi Xin had only just managed to set that up when Little Snow’s attack struck him . His attack was just like a meteorite striking the ball of water .

Heaven and earth lost all color . Time seemed to slow down . Everyone felt as if the world was no longer as real as before .

Suddenly some people let out startled cries and quickly jumped back . That was because the land had instead become a tide of water that was rapidly spreading .

Those who were closer were directly swallowed by a wave of mud, coughing up blood as they were pushed further away .

For a moment, everyone was fleeing for their lives . Within an area of over a mile, there was no longer anyone else present .

That region had been flattened dozens of meters . At the center of the depressed circle was a deep crater . On one side was Long Chen atop Little Snow, looking at Qi Xin .

The current Qi Xin’s hair was a mess and his clothes had also been torn . Even his aura was slightly chaotic . Obviously blocking that attack had cost a great deal of energy .

Although he might look down on Qi Xin’s personality, Long Chen had no choice but to admit that Qi Xin truly was too strong .

That attack of Little Snow’s had contained a merger of both wind and flame . The explosive power that resulted from that merger could destroy mountains . Just from looking at the completely destroyed region around them it was possible to see just how powerful it had been .

But such a powerful blow had been blocked by Qi Xin . Furthermore, he wasn’t even injured . That kind of strength was too shocking .

“How is it? Do you want to keep putting on a show?” asked Long Chen .

“You… hmph, if it weren’t for your Magical Beast protecting you, I could kill you with a single slap,” raged Qi Xin .

Although he said, Qi Xin was actually filled with horror . He had never expected that white wolf to have such a powerful attack .

“So what? Didn’t I just say that a Magical Beast was also a part of person’s strength? By putting it like this, are you saying you’re not even as good as Magical Beast?”

“Hmph, with such a powerful Magical Beast, you’re clearly just relying on your family’s power . Only a spoiled brat would shot off like this,” sneered Qi Xin .

“You can show off too . Come, bring out your Magical Beast and show everyone,” shrugged Long Chen .

Qi Xin’s face darkened as his steed was just a second rank Magical Beast .

It was true that his family did possess third rank Magical Beasts, but they were precious military powers that couldn’t be easily moved out . Furthermore, those Magical Beasts weren’t flying ones, and so it wouldn’t have been convenient to bring them on this journey .

If he really did bring out his Magical Beast now, it would be swatted to death in a single blow by Long Chen’s Snow Wolf . Although he was born in a large clan, even just a second rank Magical Beast was extremely valuable . He couldn’t let it die for nothing, and so he was mute in response to Long Chen’s provocation .

Long Chen’s meaning was obvious . Even if he himself was weak, with the pressure from such a steed, who would dare easily attack him?

That truly infuriated Qi Xin . Although his combat ability was high, his actual realm was low . That was because he had to keep himself suppressed at the peak of Blood Condensation . If he entered the Muscle Rebirth realm, he definitely wouldn’t fear Long Chen’s Scarlet Flame Snow Wolf .

The atmosphere was now extremely awkward . Qi Xin wanted to attack but he also was intimidated . Little Snow was a Magical Beast, and so it was extremely likely it was capable of using such a powerful attack again .

But Qi Xin didn’t dare take such an attack again . Even if he was more arrogant, he wouldn’t want to continuously receive such blows . That wouldn’t be prideful; it’d be just asking for death .

But for him to retreat, that would be a great blow to his fame . How would he face those who relied on him?

If it was to Lei Qianshang or Tang Wan-er then it would have been fine . They were experts on the same level, so it wouldn’t cause him to lose any face .

But if he were to continue losing in front of this nameless youth, that would definitely be too embarra.s.sing for him . In this current situation, he couldn’t retreat, yet he also couldn’t continue . Thus, Qi Xin was in an impossible position .

Deep in the forest, Tang Wan-er was watching . In her eyes, Long Chen was acting like a spoiled brat, but she smiled .

This scoundrel does possess some ability to force Qi Xin into such a plight . Hmph, as for your debt for offending me, we’ll have to settle that slowly .

For some unknown reason, watching Long Chen gave her a kind of unknown excitement . Perhaps life in the Xuantian Monastery would not be as dry and dull as she had thought it would be .

Dong!

Just at this moment, a loud, melodious bell rang out in everyone’s ears, causing everyone to become excited .
