Chapter 110: Riding the Dust
The simple rules were quickly explained by the host of Tsing Yi.
Nearly fifty contestants, each of whom received a special signal firework, then stood at the junction at the foot of the mountain at his request. After he gives the order, the crowd will begin to try to rush through the level. If you plan to give up halfway, or encounter fatal danger, you can send out a fireworks signal for help.
Of course, that means automatic out.
"Six hours, good luck to everyone!" said the host, and the host began the final countdown.
With his three countdowns, the contestants calmed down one by one and tensed their bodies. When the initial shout came, more than a dozen of the fastest reflexing swordsmen rushed out first, climbing up the winding and rugged mountain road. One step behind them were dozens of warriors who were a little slower to react. Not to be outdone, they bit the person in front of them tightly.
If you are racing on flat ground, someone who is strong and knows some footwork will definitely take the lead. But on this snowy mountain road, even if you are flexible, your speed can only play three or four percent, and you can't pull too much distance. What can really distinguish the gap is still the nine levels of the green and underworld.
After climbing up the mountain road for four or five minutes, Lu Chengfeng, who remained in the first sequence, encountered the first level.
It was a simple phantom array without any prior warning. Before they stepped into the range of the phantom array, all they saw was an ordinary snow-covered mountain road. But after entering, there was a flower in front of him, and immediately after that, he would see four or five high-level demonic beasts coming from the front fan-shaped bag. On the left and right, there are even more traps. In a hurry, I'm afraid many people's first reaction is to run back!
That's exactly what the people who designed the phantom array wanted to see.
The first level of this Qingying trial is a test of eyesight and will. If it is the one who is calm and has good eyesight, he can immediately notice that these demonic beasts are stiff and scary, but in fact they are just a virtual appearance. In this way, as long as you are determined, you will be completely unaffected, and let these fantasies pass through your body and rush forward without stopping!
But if the eyes are not good, and the person who is frightened backwards one after another, it will inevitably delay time.
Since it was only the first level, it could also be that the person who designed the phantom array did it casually, and the moment he felt that there was a flower in front of him, Lu Chengfeng noticed the traces of the operation of the phantom array. This kind of low-level phantom array, which can only simulate images and cannot simulate momentum, has no effect on him at all. He just laughed and rushed forward in a straight line.
Before he was reborn, in the training ground of the Heavenly Wind Empire's royal family, he had seen a phantom array ten times more advanced than this. This first level of Qingming is really just pediatrics.
Seeing that these demonic beasts couldn't scare him, the phantom array operated one after another. After not taking a few steps, Lu Chengfeng only felt that the vision in front of him had changed again, and there was a black-robed mage standing in front of him. Seeing Lu Chengfeng appear, the mage waved his staff and unleashed heavenly thunder and earth fire one after another. It seemed that in an instant, Lu Chengfeng was surrounded by a sea of fire and was in a desperate situation.
This time, the level of realism is even higher than before. At the very least, Lu Chengfeng could feel a scorching wave of air.
However, it still can't scare him!
Moving on, the phantom array changed again, and this time a cliff appeared in front of him. Looking down from the top of the cliff, I only feel that it is a thousand feet high. The mountain peaks blow in, as if you may fall off the cliff if you are not careful, which is particularly scary. If you're a little timid, you'll have to cower. However, Lu Chengfeng's smile became happier and happier.
The degree of simulation of the phantom array this time is higher than the previous two. But don't forget the real environment around you, just think about it, this is just the back mountain of Qingming Mountain. They have only climbed more than 100 meters, how can there be such a thousand-zhang high cliff? As long as they overcome the timidity in their hearts with reason and do not be blinded by the illusions they see, they can easily break through this hurdle!
Lu Chengfeng let the illusion change in front of him, just walked up the mountain road, and in just twenty seconds, he rushed out of the phantom array.
When I looked back, there were twenty or thirty people trapped in the phantom array. Since most of the people who are qualified to come to the dojo are the elites of Kaiyang. Therefore, this phantom array can deter them for a while, but it is difficult to really trap them. At this moment, except for a few who did not move or even retreated, most of them slowed down and groped their way forward.
Although it will be delayed for some time, it will definitely be able to break through.
Lu Chengfeng estimated that in the end, maybe there were only two or three people who stayed in the phantom array for more than a quarter of an hour, and they were judged to have failed to break through and automatically transmitted.
He shook his head, stopped looking at the men, and continued to crawl forward.
Since the difficulty of the first level is really not high, there are actually five or six martial artists who rushed out in strides like Lu Chengfeng. Behind them, it was more than ten seconds slower, and more than a dozen people came out one after another. They breathed a sigh of relief, and after confirming that they had successfully broken through, they followed closely and quickened their pace to catch up.
This made Lu Chengfeng a little surprised, and a little excited.
Because, if the opponent's strength is too weak, this trial of the Nine Levels of the Green Shadow will not be interesting!
After climbing another 100 meters along the mountain road, Lu Chengfeng and the others encountered the second level. This level is a real test of strength. Anyone who rushes in will be passed into a separate enchantment. In the enchantment, there is a puppet with a strength of around the fifth order.
The doll is about two meters tall, moves very quickly, and is not weak in strength. Its template should be based on a martial artist, and in such a limited range of rings, it is easy to exert its powerful combat power.
In order to ensure safety, the people of the Blue Underworld Dojo set the puppet to fight back when it is attacked, otherwise it will stop directly. But if you want to beat the level, you must defeat this martial arts family puppet. Otherwise, you can only stay in it for a quarter of an hour, and then be judged to fail and forcibly pass out!
So what else is there to say?
After glancing at this fighting family puppet, Lu Chengfeng smiled confidently and pulled out the Blue Shadow Thunder Light Sword!
Seeing Lu Chengfeng attacking, the puppet also shook his fists and rushed forward in broken steps. A few steps away, it accelerated violently, launched the Ascending Dragon Fist, and the whole person turned into an arc of light, slamming towards Lu Chengfeng. This collision is extremely forceful, and it has the ingenuity of floating. If the lower plate is unstable and is knocked into the sky, it is bound to be hit by a round of it.
"It's kind of interesting!"
For this martial arts puppet to be so fierce, Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but be a little surprised. However, he did not choose to dodge sideways, but directly chose a head-to-head duel. At the moment when the puppet pounced on him one meter in front of him and the fist wind had invaded in front of him, Lu Cheng's scenery sword shook, and the fluctuating force came out of his body, forming a constantly rotating light wheel in front of him.
Wave Slash!
This fourth-order lightsaber technique has been used many times after Lu Chengfeng was reborn. With a clever grasp, even the attack of the bull-headed giant beast can be defused, let alone a fighting puppet? Its ascending dragon fist was quickly dissolved under the fluctuation of the light wheel. Although the inertia knocked Lu Chengfeng back a step entirely, the subsequent floating force was completely ineffective, making the word "Shenglong" an empty word.
"Drink!"
Seeing that the Shenglong fist was blocked, the fighting family puppet ignored it, and withdrew his hand to land Chengfeng's chin with an uppercut.
This reaction is not unfast, but Lu Chengfeng's speed is faster. He took a step back and let the light wheel disintegrate. Not only did he avoid this punch by a fraction of a second, but six or seven fierce anti-injury sword qi even took the opportunity to hit the puppet's chest with the empty door wide open, leaving deep sword marks on the unknown material!
If the opponent was human, this blow would probably be enough to kill him. But the puppet doesn't know the pain, and the effect is naturally greatly reduced. Instead, after a brief stiffening, the guy pounced on him again.
This time, Lu Chengfeng saw the gap between its two fist attacks, and even stabbed through it like lightning. Due to the previous sword marks, the protective layer on the surface of the puppet has been crushed. The sword qi that extended from this serial stab accurately blasted into the puppet's body from the sword marks. Almost instantly, half of its body collapsed!
After adding another sword to completely eliminate it, Lu Chengfeng, who had won the victory, was teleported out again.
After the second level, there were only two people left who were faster than him.
These two were undoubtedly masters of the peak of the fifth order, and the first to come out was wearing a black basalt light armor, and the cloak behind them had a griffin pattern. If you guessed correctly, this should be someone who has something to do with the Lanwu Empire. After all, the griffin pattern was only qualified for the military top brass and some princes. As for the other person, he was wearing a dragon heavy armor suit, holding a gray giant sword in his hand, and there was a sinister aura in the corners of his lowered eyes.
These two guys are very strong!
Especially the latter, a master wearing dragon heavy armor and holding a giant sword, is extremely imposing. Among the opponents that Lu Chengfeng has experienced after his rebirth, it is estimated that the blood knife can be compared. In the last level, he seemed to be the first to rush out. It's just that there were too many people who rushed through the first level quickly, and Lu Chengfeng didn't pay special attention to him.
At the same time that Lu Chengfeng was looking at the two, the two were also secretly looking at him.
The fact that a fourth-order master could defeat a puppet so quickly really surprised the two of them. It's just that the puppet is not as good as a real warrior after all, maybe it used some special means. The two of them just looked at him, and they didn't particularly pay attention to him.
At this moment, a new opponent defeated the puppet.
Lu Chengfeng and the three of them no longer hesitated, and quickly headed towards the third level!
Compared with the non-selectability of the previous two levels, the third level of this Qingying Trial can be actively chosen whether to enter or not. Judging from the simple yin posted on the side, it seems to be a test of the body. If you are clumsy and not known for your agility, you can choose to give up voluntarily in the case that Yin Zhi is unlikely to pass, so as not to waste your time.
However, Lu Chengfeng and the three first-order people all went to the nine levels in the spirit of passing all the nine levels, and they were all very confident in themselves. After glancing at each other, the three of them unanimously chose to challenge!
