Chapter 338: Huangfu Tianchi's Determination
"Haven't you come back yet?" In the trial hall of the inner gate of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Huangfu Tianchi was standing near the hall gate, looking into the distance with some anxiety.
An hour ago, Huangfu Tianchi passed the fifth round of the illusion test with great difficulty.
At that time, Huangfu Tianchi thought that he had done his best, and he could be regarded as worthy of He Zhi and had a clear conscience.
But as time passed, Huangfu Tianchi found that the anxiety in his heart had not diminished because he had fulfilled the most basic promise to He Zhi.
Although Huangfu Tianchi had already told He Zhi before that he would probably not be able to pass the sixth round of the Illusion Trial, it could be regarded as saying hello. However, when the sixth round of the Illusion Trial was approaching, and He Zhi had not yet appeared in the Great Hall of Trials, Huangfu Tianchi's mood was still unable to calm down after all.
Indeed, he fulfilled his promise, and Ho Zhi bought eight hours of time. It seems that He Zhi himself had a problem and failed to return within the time limit he set.
But is that enough? Is he really able to say with a clear conscience that he has done everything he can and that whatever happens behind him has nothing to do with him?
In other words, what does He Zhi have to do with him, and why did He Zhi do it to such an extent?
Maybe He Zhi is indeed kind to him. But so what?
For the sake of He Zhi, he was willing to risk being rejected by the entire Ten Thousand Swords Sect, delaying time for him in the inner gate trial, and also passed the fifth round of the illusion trial with great difficulty, isn't this enough?
Even He Zhi really didn't show up in time in the end and was eliminated from the inner door trial. When the two meet again next time, I'm afraid he can't use this reason to blame Huangfu Tianchi, right?
In Huangfu Tianchi's heart, as mentioned above, I don't know how many times he has thought about these reasons.
But I don't know why, Huangfu Tianchi always feels that in his mind, there seems to be a thought called unwillingness flashing.
What was he participating in this inner trial for? Could it be that it was really just to help He Zhi? Or was it just a favor for He Zhi that he gave himself courage!
Subconsciously, was he really so willing to give up?
That's right, if he waits until next year, maybe he will take a step forward in his cultivation, from the peak of the rebirth realm that is not embarrassing or embarrassing at the moment, to break through to the realm of pseudo-entry, at least in the realm, he can catch up with the best geniuses in the vast majority of the outer sects.
But then, with a slight breakthrough in this realm, can he be sure enough to stand out from the fierce competition and become a member of the inner door?
Although the realm of pseudo-entry is much stronger than the realm of rebirth, after all, it is only a pseudo-entry, not a true entry! For a monk, there is no essential difference at all in this kind of realm ascension!
Moreover, two years ago, he had reached the last hurdle in the inner gate trial!
Huangfu Tianchi tried to recall.
What happened two years ago seemed to have become blurry in his memory. Although that time was probably the peak period of his life, Huangfu Tianchi now recalled it, and found that he was almost unable to remember!
For the past two years, he has been living in chagrin and remorse, and that originally glorious memory seems to have become a scar on his body that has never been improved. Just a light touch will make him feel unbearable pain.
Therefore, he has been deliberately avoiding this memory for the past two years. So much so that when he thought about it now, he found that this memory was so vague.
Huangfu Tianchi struggled to recall for a while, and then suddenly remembered: That's right! Two years ago, it seemed that I had passed ten illusion trials without much effort!
At that time, Huangfu Tianchi was so high-spirited. He didn't even think about whether he could pass the sixth and tenth layer trials, what he was thinking about at that time was how much time it would take him to pass the tenth layer trial. Among all the disciples who participated in the inner gate selection, can they become the top ten!
This once glorious memory surfaced in Huangfu Tianchi's mind, but once again made his heart feel as if it had been torn apart.
Why did he become like this now? Huangfu Tianchi kept asking himself. What has he done in the past two years?
Has he ruined his practice? Is he really as those who despise him, despise him, and spit on him, and have resigned himself to depravity and have no cure?
No, no! Huangfu Tianchi said loudly to himself in his heart.
He has never given up his cultivation, although he has been remorseful, depressed, and even came up with some crooked ideas for the past two years. However, he never gave up on himself, as others said!
His cultivation is still as hard as before, and his approach to swordsmanship is still as devout as ever! Every morning, when the rooster crows, he never stops practicing swordsmanship for three hours of sweating like rain.
In that case, two years later, why has he become weaker, and why can't he do what he could do two years ago?
It's just the sixth illusion trial! Why does he feel like he can't pass just hearing it now?
What I could have done at the beginning, I really can't do it now? The sword in my hand is really dull?
Huangfu Tianchi clenched his long sword and withdrew his gaze from the mountain road.
At this time, in the Great Hall of Trials, only the last gate remained.
Just as Wang Lu and Huangfu Tianchi had predicted before, after the round of changes caused by He Zhi, almost every one of the outer disciples who were still able to stay in the main hall was making rapid progress.
By the time Huangfu Tianchi had passed the fifth round of trials, most of the outer disciples in the main hall had already passed the ten rounds of trials. The remaining few outer disciples were only staying in the ninth round of trials!
And within the next hour, almost all of them had completed their ten rounds of trials. So now the people in the main hall who have not been eliminated from the competition and have not completed all the trials are left with only one Huangfu Tianchi!
Therefore, Huangfu Tianchi has almost naturally become the focus of everyone's attention.
In particular, Huangfu Tianchi can be regarded as a celebrity more or less within the outer gate of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Many of the Golden Sword disciples in the outer sect have heard the story of this "fallen genius".
Therefore, almost all of those outer disciples focused their attention on Huangfu Tianchi. Of course, there is almost no one who is optimistic that Huangfu Tianchi will be able to complete the sixth round of the illusion trial.
Everyone's discussion is also constantly reaching the ears of Huangfu Tianchi. This made him feel a tingling in his heart even more.
Half an hour passed quickly. When the bell rang again, He Zhi still did not appear.
At this time, the oil lamp hanging above the trial hall flickered, and the girl in the Silent True Magic Weapon Weapon appeared out. She didn't speak, just looked at Huangfu Tianchi with wide eyes.
Huangfu Tianchi knew that this meant that he was running out of time. If he didn't make a quick decision, it was likely that within ten breaths, or even less, the girl would teleport him outside the main hall!
Entering the formation of the sixth trial can certainly buy He Zhi a little more time. However, if you lose in the formation soon, the time you can gain is actually extremely limited!
Moreover, when Huangfu Tianchi raised his eyes, he could be sure that there was no figure of He Zhi on the mountain road visible to the naked eye in front of the trial hall! That is to say, He Zhi would have to wait at least half an hour before he could arrive! Perhaps, the little time he could buy for He Zhi in the sixth illusion trial was simply meaningless!
At the same time, he will suffer another painful defeat in the sixth trial!
For two whole years, Huangfu Tianchi finally regained a little bit of self-confidence. If he faces another failure, even if he breaks through to the realm of pseudo-entry next year, will he be able to muster up the courage to face the inner trial again?
Huangfu Tianchi shook the hilt of the sword in his hand again.
Why did I come to this inner trial? In the end, Huangfu Tianchi asked himself the original question again.
What is it for? No! Not really! I am unwilling! I have not given up, let alone degenerate! Why can't I do what I was able to do back then?
Huangfu Tianchi's hand holding the hilt of the sword clenched tighter and tighter, and even the green tendons had burst out. Then he raised his head and walked towards the light curtain without hesitation.
In this sixth illusion trial, Huangfu Tianchi is willing to challenge it again! Even if he fails, what if he fails? He will no longer be timid!
"Hehe, it's really in! I don't know how long he can hold up in it. ”
"A quarter of an hour at most. ”
There was a burst of discussion in the main hall, and many inner disciples were still laughing, as if they were gloating about the gossip of Huangfu Tianchi.
And just when Huangfu Tianchi entered the light curtain in the trial hall, while facing his last round of illusion trials, He Zhi, who had already come to the halfway point of the mountain, was still fighting hard.
In fact, when they had just defeated Luo Tianfan, both He Zhi and Lin Yuqing thought that the test given to He Zhi by Shoujing Zhenren should have come to an end.
After all, Luo Tianfan's strength can already be called one of the strongest people in the spirit realm. Unless the Ten Thousand Swords Sect could also get an inner sect monk who entered the Dao with martial arts, otherwise, even Lin Yuqing felt that it would be difficult for the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to find a non-spiritual realm cultivator who was stronger than Luo Tianfan.
However, He Zhi and Lin Yuqing still got one thing wrong.
Maybe the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was indeed unable to find an inner disciple who was stronger than Luo Tianfan under the Spirit Realm, but they were able to find a monk who was even more difficult than Luo Tianfan!
Wu Shengyu - He may not have the cultivation like Luo Tianfan, and his strength is much worse than Luo Tianfan. In every inner door competition, Wu Shengyu has never defeated Luo Tianfan.
But for He Zhi, he is an opponent who is ten times more difficult than Luo Tianfan!
Because Wu Shengyu is completely different from Luo Tianfan.
Perhaps, among the inner disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, if you want to find the person who has the best chance of defeating He Zhi, it must be Luo Tianfan. However, if they were to find a candidate who was most likely not to lose to He Zhi, then that person would have to be Wu Shengyu!
This is the reason why the eight inner disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect agreed to let Wu Shengyu be the last to fight at the very beginning - he is the last insurance among the eight inner disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!
This point has been realized by He Zhi since he first started fighting with Wu Shengyu.
Wu Shengyu's fighting style gives He Zhi the feeling that it is almost completely opposite to Luo Tianfan!
Luo Tianfan gives people the feeling that he is the most genius swordsman! When he fights with He Zhi, he always focuses on himself, constantly chasing the flaws in He Zhi's moves. Keep attacking, and you have to deal a fatal blow to He Zhi!
However, when Wu Shengyu was fighting, he was as calm as an immovable mountain! Moreover, he seemed to know every move and style of He Zhi well. No matter what kind of tricks He Zhi uses or what kind of changes he plays, Wu Shengyu can easily resolve them!
At the same time, Wu Shengyu seems to know very well that strain is not his own characteristic, so when He Zhi fights, he almost always takes a defensive position, leaving He Zhi with the slightest flaw that can be borrowed.
If you want to use an analogy, Luo Tianfan and Wu Shengyu's fighting styles are like nets. It's just that Luo Tianfan is like a spider web, he will continue to tighten, forcing the opponent who is entangled by him. The more the opponent struggles, the tighter the net will close!
And Wu Shengyu's battle is like a huge fishing net. He doesn't tighten, but no matter which direction you break through, you'll find yourself still looking like you're still headfirst in a fishnet.
In the space of half an hour, He Zhi had tried almost everything he could! "Fighting the Fa", "Heavenly Technique", and even some of the tricks that He Zhi had seen from other monks in bits and pieces before. However, all of this was useless for Wu Shengyu.
Wu Shengyu is like the most tightly run machine, and there is never the slightest mistake.
The bell on the top of the mountain rang for the eleventh time, and He Zhi also knew that this was the deadline that Huangfu Tianchi had originally set for him. However, Wu Shengyu was still firmly entangled with He Zhi, and even made He Zhi unable to see any hope of winning.
