Chapter 474 - Death’s Servant Going Mad (1/2)
“Nine white rays!”
“Gasp, a ninth-grade Martial Skill Talent!”
“The highest possible grade in this trial is the thirteenth-grade. Nobody in the history of the lower district has achieved a ninth-grade Martial Skill Talent!”
“Xiao Zhonghuang is doomed!”
“……”
The rogue cultivators spectating the duel possessed a cultivation of at least the Martial Ancestor Realm or above, thus they were relatively knowledgeable. When they saw the ninth white ray being emitted, they were utterly astonished.
Tang Qingshan and his crew were left in awe.
They had not expected the genius—who was somehow representing their sect due to Qin Nan’s absence—to end up triggering nine rays of light!
Maybe with this result of nine rays, he could outmatch Xiao Zhonghuang and come first in the trial, turning the tables around!
...Meanwhile, on the Reaper’s Platform...
The colorful glow emitting from the crystal coffin was fired toward a certain spot all of a sudden, resulting in an explosion. An ancient treasure box could be seen appearing from it.
In the treasure box lay various Sacred Weapons, ancient mysterious elixirs, and Martial Arts with formidable power—eighteen different treasures in total.
Death’s Servant’s face was filled with great shock. However, he was obliged to carry out his duty, as he forced the words out, “Nine white rays, you are allowed to pick two treasures out of the pile!”
The trial of the Reaper’s Platform; the greater the number of rays triggered, the better the reward would be.
That being said, if one were to trigger more than eight rays and come first in the trial, the person would be rewarded again by the Reaper’s Platform.
The treasure and the herb that Progenitor Wen Dao and the other three factions of the Eastern Continent were aiming for were among the treasures assigned to the winner of the trial!
“I’ll pick these two.”
Gong Yang wore a calm expression as he flicked his finger. The two treasures that he had chosen instantly flew out from the treasure box and entered his body.
Even after acquiring two pieces of treasure, he did not seem to be happy, but let out a sigh in his heart.
“Nine rays of light is not quite enough, Xiao Zhonghuang still stands a chance…”
Gong Yang shook his head.
The time he had was too little for him. He had only acquired the Spirits of the Nine Symbolic Words eight months ago, and despite the huge effort he had invested, he could only raise his Martial Spirit to the first-grade Di ranked. If he had more time, he would be able to raise the rank of his Martial Spirit further.
However, since he had taken his attempt, he could only wait for Xiao Zhonghuang’s turn.
“Your turn!”
Gong Yang glanced at Xiao Zhonghuang with a calm look.
Xiao Zhonghuang’s heart skipped a beat as his eyes showed a nervous look.
Initially, with Progenitor Wen Dao and Death’s Servant teaming up, he was able to acquire the Heart of Bodhi and Dao Liquid just so that he could trigger nine white rays. However, from the current situation, the duel would be a draw if that happened.
If it ended up as a draw, the two would be allowed to choose the treasures in the end, thus making the situation complicated.
In other words, he had to beat the result of nine rays of light by triggering at least ten rays in order to secure the victory!
We’re speaking of ten rays of light. Even one with a fourth-grade Di ranked Martial Spirit would not be able to do so!
How could he achieve that?
Obviously, Progenitor Wen Dao, Sacred Leader Feiyang, Song Yu, Lu Jian, Miao Yuxin, and the rest were aware of the same problem, thus their expressions had turned dark.
“Screw it!”
Xiao Zhonghuang clenched his teeth. He had no other choice at this stage. There was no way he could wimp out after coming so far.
Under the crowd’s attention, he took a step forward and placed his hand on the pillar.
At that instant, the entire place fall silent. Everyone held their breaths.
One ray!
Two rays!
Three rays!
