Chapter 569 - Waiting for the Second Miracle! (1/2)
It was high noon.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Following some piercing sounds, knights wearing golden plates entered the Mystical Ground Hall—eighteen of them to be exact—each possessing a cultivation of the first-layer Martial Highness Realm.
“They’re here!”
The eyes of the crowd glistened.
Qin Nan withdrew his thoughts. These golden-plated knights were the royal guards, who only received orders from the Sky-Scorching Emperor. They were here to activate the Dragon Abyss Mystical Ground.
The leader among the knights said with an expressionless face, “Greetings prospective heirs to the throne, the Dragon Abyss Mystical Ground will be activated soon. It will remain accessible for ten days, and the one who acquires the most Dragon Abyss Qi within this period will be the winner of the trial. If the Dragon Abyss Fruit is found, then the victory lies with the one who has the most fruit.”
Qin Nan came to a realization hearing the words.
In previous years of the trial, there were times when the Dragon Abyss Tree did not appear, thus it was impossible to acquire the Dragon Abyss Fruit. Therefore, the outcome of the trial was determined by comparing the Dragon Abyss Qi obtained by each participant.
However, if the Dragon Abyss Fruit was present, acquiring the Dragon Abyss Qi would be deemed useless.
“Now I’ll allocate the badges!”
The knight waved his hand, hurling golden badges into the hands of the crowd.
These specifically-built badges contained a mystical aura. One could only enter the Dragon Abyss Mystical Ground by having one of the badges.
“Keep this in mind. No killing is allowed in the Dragon Abyss Mystical Ground. Those who commit the offense will be adjudicated by the Disciplinary Department of the Sky-Scorching Ancient Kingdom! Now, it’s time to activate the Mystical Ground.”
His tone was raised toward the end of his speech.
It was as if the minds of the golden-plated knights were synchronized with one another, who reached out their palms simultaneously. Different runes emerged from their palms and buzzed vigorously, before emitting a magical glow toward the center.
Slash!
It was as if the space in the hall was torn apart by a giant claw, resulting in a gap.
The gap was not filled with a boundless darkness, but a mysterious white glow instead. It felt like one would be entering another world after stepping into the gap.
“Let’s go!”
The princes and princesses exchanged glances with the geniuses beside them before stepping into the gap.
“Our turn.”
Qin Nan and the Third Prince glanced at one another before making their way to the rift. However, a sudden yell could be heard.
“Wait!”
The person was surprisingly the Second Prince, Song Li!
Qin Nan and the Third Prince halted their steps and turned their heads around with a frown.
What did this Second Prince want now?
The others in the hall halted their movements too. Their eyes filled with doubts.
“The duel here at the hall is nothing worth mentioning! Duan Qing, once we enter the Dragon Abyss Mystical Ground, it’s better for you to surrender. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences…” The Second Prince’s eyes flickered coldly while the aura of the Undefeatable Martial Dominator Realm burst out from his body, resulting in a powerful suppression.
He was saying this as the defeat here at the hall had caused him to feel extremely unpleasant!
However, before he could finish, Qin Nan and the Third Prince continued toward the rift.
An indifferent voice could be heard.
“Ok.”
The Second Prince was stunned, the same with his siblings.
Ok?
Had he just replied with ‘ok’ after being threatened by the Second Prince?
Was he not placing the Second Prince in his eyes?
“Duan Qing!”
