Chapter 223: The Trial of Fire Begins
As one legendary name after another appeared, the atmosphere of this trial of fire became more and more lively.
All the disciples are looking forward to it, looking forward to being able to take a look at the genius disciples who have been passed on by word of mouth, maybe they will be favored by which disciple of the personal transmission will teach a trick and a half, and it will be infinitely useful.
These are all geniuses among the younger generation in the sect, and as soon as they enter the sect, they are accepted as personal disciples, and they used to practice in retreat in secret realms, and they do not have contact with the outside world.
Now that they have broken through, ordinary disciples are scrambling to see what they look like.
"Knock!" the teacher rang the jade bell beside him, the noisy crowd gradually quieted down, Dugu stood proudly on the high platform, looked at the dozen or so disciples standing at the front of the crowd, and nodded with satisfaction.
These were the best of the younger generation of the One Sword Sect, and the young man standing on the far right, Dugu Ao's eyes, were a little more loving and gratifying.
Young Sect Master Xiao Yu, the orphan of his sworn brother, has indeed not disappointed him now!
"This year's trial of fire is for you to participate in. You are all the best selected among the thousands of disciples, don't let down the creation in this secret realm. I hope you can have some enlightenment and break through yourself, so that it will be in vain. ”
"This trial of fire is a secret realm laid by the ancestor himself, and you must go down to the deepest part of the lava black prison to enter this secret realm. ”
"There are three levels of the secret realm, and when you pass the content of each layer of trials, you will move on to the next level of trials. Only after passing the three-layer trial can you enter the Soul Quenching Tower to cultivate. ”
As soon as the three words "Quenching Soul Tower" came out, everyone in the audience breathed a lot heavier, and their eyes burst out with eager light.
This Quenching Soul Tower is the greatest charm of the Fire Trial, it is the supreme treasure laid by the ancestor of the First Sword Sect, just listening to this name, you know that it has great benefits for the tempering of soul power.
Especially for these personal disciples who have been cultivating in retreat, their martial artist Nine Heavens realm has been cultivated to perfection.
You only need to cross the martial artist realm with one foot at the door, and cultivate to another level!
And the cultivation in their bodies has actually reached the critical value of crossing the martial arts, and the most important thing is the tempering of the soul.
As long as they can condense their spirits in this Soul Quenching Tower, impacting the martial artist realm is undoubtedly a matter of course.
"The realm of trials is built by the patriarch with great creation, and things in it are both true and false, virtual and illusory, you should not be afraid of casualties in it, if you unfortunately die, it is just a teleportation back, and your own teachings are waiting on the side. ”
"If someone wants to give up the trial, then crush the jade plate they have with them, and they will teleport back. ”
Dugu Ao glanced at everyone, and said loudly at the moment: "Then this year's fire trial has officially begun!"
The next group of people gathered around the disciples who participated in the trial, and rushed to the lava black prison.
Xiao Yu was unhurried and fell behind the crowd.
This lava black prison is usually a place where people who break the vows are imprisoned and punished, and everyone flocks to it, and they can't wait to get away.
However, today's grand event has begun, and this gloomy and painful place has become full of people and lively.
Follow the crowd through the black prison of the lava black prison, bypass the mountain wall, and a wave of heat rushes in front of them.
A huge lake of molten lava was steaming hot, appearing in Xiao Yu's field of vision.
The attendant pointed to the magma lake and said, "Under the lake of fire is the entrance to the trial of fire, so go down when you are ready." ”
The disciples were shocked, seeing the magma rolling in this lake, the flames were raging, even if they had spiritual power to protect their bodies, they couldn't help but feel panic in their hearts.
"Such hot magma, you can't bake it if you jump down!"
"If this is the spiritual power of the body protection is even a little slack, then the end will be ...... Oops, I can't think about it. ”
Xiao Yu heard the onlookers talking a lot, and several of the disciples who participated in the trial had already changed their faces.
They were selected to qualify for participation, and naturally they did not want to give up this hard-won opportunity.
However, when they heard the talk of others, they felt scorching and terrifying when they looked at the molten lake.
At this moment, a powerful voice came from the back of the crowd: "Just a moat, did it scare you to stop?" ”
Xiao Yu looked back, a young man was staring at the dragon, striding over, he didn't have a disciple around him, he was so alone, but with the momentum of contempt, he regarded everyone as nothing.
Xiao Yu's eyes froze, this person's spiritual power was calm and restrained, and he didn't let go, but the acupuncture feeling brought to him was extremely strong, much stronger than Cangyun and Mo Xuanyu!
"Senior brother!" the people who recognized him saluted respectfully, and even people as unruly as Cangyun smiled at him.
Mo Xuanyu stepped forward to talk even more cordially, "Senior Brother Mingyue is also here, this trial can be participated in with Senior Brother Mingyue, even if it is useless, I will be worthwhile!"
"I heard that there are many participants in this Fire Trial, and the Young Sect Master is also among them, so I also broke through the barrier and came out to ask for advice. Senior Brother Mingyue smiled faintly and said, "Which one is the young sect master, can you come out and talk about it?"
"Senior brother, you don't have to look for it, our young sect leader Xiao Yu is shrinking behind the pile of people and pretending to be a turtle with a shrunken head. Cangyun smiled pathetically, and everyone followed his gaze and saw Xiao Yu standing at the end.
Senior Brother Mingyue arched his hand at Xiao Yu, his eyes were like torches: "Brother Xiao, I've been looking up for a long time." I also hope that this fire trial, Brother Xiao can give him advice!"
Although his words are polite and thorough, his tone is aggressive, and it is all-for-tat!
As soon as his words fell, he no longer paid attention to Xiao Yu, but turned his gaze to Duan Yuxi beside Xiao Yu, and his tone became softer: "Senior Sister Duan, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Duan Yu returned the salute and did not speak, still with that indifferent and cold look.
Senior Brother Mingyue smiled and continued: "Presumably, Senior Sister Duan will participate in this Fire Trial for the first time, or maybe, I will accompany Senior Sister for a while, with me here, there is no need to panic." ”
Xiao Yu frowned and began to search for the original memories in this body.
Ji Mingyue, the most senior disciple of the younger generation of the One Sword Sect, showed amazing talent in the outer gate and was exceptionally accepted as a personal disciple by Yan Zhengming, the master of the Law Enforcement Hall.
For a long time, he had been in retreat and cultivation, waiting for leisure and not asking about the world, only coming out on top in the last Fire Trial, and became the first young disciple to break through the Martial Artist Nine Heavens in one fell swoop.
Now that he has broken through the barrier again, he thinks that he has already stepped into the ranks of martial artists with half a foot, and he is only missing the last opportunity.
If there is no rise of Xiao Yu, in terms of qualifications and cultivation, this senior brother Ji Mingyue is undoubtedly the best candidate for the young sect master.
Xiao Yu was still immersed in his thoughts, when he saw Ji Mingyue elegantly stretching out a hand to Duan Yuxi, and said softly: "Senior Sister Yuxi, don't be afraid, and follow me into this fire trial." ”
"Damn, what do you mean, a woman who dares to rob Lao Tzu?" Xiao Yu rolled his eyes in his heart, and immediately listed this Ji Mingyue as the number one public enemy!
In my previous life, I was an otaku for half my life, and I didn't even hold a girl's hand, and finally passed through reincarnation and had a childhood sweetheart like a flower, do you still dare to beat her idea?
However, before he could stand in front of Duan Yuxi, Duan Yuxi had already gently brushed away Ji Mingyue's hand, and there was no sadness or joy on his cold face.
"Senior brother said with a smile, although it was my first time to participate in the trial, I was not that cowardly. I don't have to worry about it, I can just go in by myself. ”
At that moment, she ignored Ji Mingyue's slightly embarrassed look, crossed the crowd and came to the fire lake, the purple aura in her body was running and covered her with a thin layer of purple mist, and she didn't look back: "Xiao Yu, hurry up, I'll wait for you below." ”
After that, the purple mist around her surged, broke through the fire lake and dived straight down.
Xiao Yu saw that the corners of Ji Mingyue's eyes twitched, her expression was as ugly as eating, and she was secretly refreshed in her heart at the moment: "This wife, bring energy!"
Duan Yuxi started, several personal disciples showed their skills and jumped into the lake one after another, and one or two disciples felt that their strength was not enough, so they took the initiative to resign from the teaching and withdrew from this trial.
Seeing that someone took the initiative to withdraw, Cangyun sneered, Ji Mingyue and Mo Xuanyu had already jumped into the fire lake first, he stood on the shore of the lake and looked back at Xiao Yu, who had not yet acted, and said with a cruel smile:
"Xiao Yu, if you're afraid now, get out of here, lest you burn to ashes! But if you really have a kind, I'll wait for you below to see what you have to sit in the position of the young sect master." ”
He glared at Xiao Yu fiercely, and as soon as the spiritual power of the body protection came out, he turned over and jumped into the lake.
Now Xiao Yu is the only disciple participating in the trial, and Aoxiong, Wang Jianye and other partners are all telling Xiao Yu: "Brother Xiao, be more careful." ”
"Yes, take care of our sister Yuxi. ”
"Xiao Yu. The little fat man Wang Jianye patted him on the shoulder, "Don't forget our agreement...... And most importantly, show them the win!"
Xiao Yu saw the eager eyes of his friends around him, only to feel the blood in his chest surge, and nodded heavily.
The onlookers saw that Xiao Yu was still not moving, and they urged him to coax.
The disciple who had been following Cang Yun's side before sneered: "Young Sect Master, what's the matter, you haven't moved yet, aren't you afraid? Hahaha!"
Xiao Yu listened to him laughing loudly, and he didn't get angry, but said coldly: "Okay, then I'll give you the opportunity of this fire trial, you can go down now!"
The disciple's laughter stopped abruptly, he looked at the burning magma, and only felt that his legs and stomachs were spinning, he only had the cultivation of the two heavens of a martial artist, not to mention participating in the trial of fire, even passing through this molten lake was a fantasy.
Aoxiong and others on the side shouted one after another: "The qualification is given to you, why don't you move, are you scared? Hurry up!"
The disciple was arrogant just now, but now he squeezed out a smile in embarrassment, and pretended to be calm: "The qualifications for the Fire Trial are all stipulated, how can there be any reason to transfer it to someone else halfway...... I can't go down, let's go Xiao Yu!"
"Hmph!" Xiao Yu snorted coldly, ignoring him no longer, Zixiao's aura was exhausted, and his footsteps plunged into the center of the fire lake. In the sighs of the crowd and the laughter of the disciple, he disappeared into the churning magma.
