The pale-faced man charged forward, intending to join the figure so that he could grasp this incredible battle technique.
Gus did the same thing, but a little slower.
But just as the pale-faced man charged into the vortex, he was instantly torn to shreds.
That shocking sight caused Gus' expression to change as he immediately retreated.
Meanwhile, Xiao Liong and the others had just arrived in time to see the death of the pale-faced man.
They were shocked because everyone here was almost as strong as the Area Master, but one of them had easily been killed by the ancient phenomenon. It was a scary sight.
Shortly after, the twin brothers appeared behind them.
This time, no one cared about them and they were all just staring at the growing phenomenon.
More and more people appeared and stared at the figure in the distance with excitement.
They were all hoping to obtain an inheritance and see their cultivation soar,
allowing them to rush to the top of the Astral Combat Academy.
The ancient figure stood at the bottom of the lake as the surrounding vortex grew larger, until it finally covered the entirety of Blackwater Lake.
Xiao Liong and the others had long since retreated to a safe beach, but their eyes were still fixed on the figure.
More and more people tried to enter and join the figure, but they all failed.
The man in gray clothes had also attempted, with the result that he and his spear were torn to shreds.
The twins were both trying to test the water with their Mystical Ice, but even that was unable to withstand the power of the vortex.
At this point, the swirling stream of water had become the most powerful weapon in the world in the figure's hands. No one can fight them.
Xiao Liong had long activated his Cosmic Art to better observe the phenomenon.
It was shaped like a vortex, but it was actually a manifestation of a fighting technique.
By remaining unchanged, battle techniques could actually adapt to any changes.
Anyone who entered the vortex would be torn apart, regardless of their battle techniques.
It is a battle technique that has been devised by the wisdom of ancient and intelligent minds,
and it was likely a simplified version of something even more profound and powerful.
Xiao Liong started to fidget; if he could somehow join the figure and experience the battle technique for himself, it would,
then his strength will immediately surge. At the very least, his methods in using battle techniques would change,
but unfortunately, he wasn't sure if he could break through the vortex.
Yet the other students were torn apart by a deadly vortex, but the crowd could only watch; their frustration and anxiety were indescribable.
Xiao Liong was no different, and he also wanted to give it a try. In the end, the worst thing that could happen was dying,
but even that meant being forced out of the trial zone. After strengthening himself, Xiao Liong charged into the vortex.
At the same time, Gus moved forward as the figure began to be unclear.
If they missed this opportunity, then they might never have this kind of opportunity again.
Many students swarmed at the same time, like moths flying into flames.
Even though they knew that they were rushing towards an almost certain death, they were still chasing after that piece of light.
To cultivators, strength was their only pursuit.
