The King of the Gods
Chapter 164: Floating Peak Palace
After Zhao Feng lost, his 3 consecutive wins stopped and although many were disappointed with the result, none of them could do anything because Zhao Feng himself had given up.
The Floating Crest competition was about to end after the 4th round and Bei Moi and Ran Xiaoyuan who both won 4 rounds had to directly take one of the places to enter.
The remaining disciples would take the other available spots based on their ranks and the 3 Core disciples present this time were all guaranteed one spot.
Besides them, Bei Moi and Ran Xiaoyuan also took 2 spots which meant there were only 5 spots left.
“Brother Zhao, you have missed the opportunity back then by not using your full strength. If you continue like this, maybe you really won't be able to participate.” Yang Gan warned.
"Son's relaxed."
Zhao Feng nodded. He had to win all 3 remaining fights to get a place and everything was under control.
Other than Bei Moi and Ran Xiaoyuan, no one could stop him.
Round 5: Zhao Feng won in one move, crushing his opponent at the peak of the 3rd Sky. At this moment, his strength made others wary.
Round 6: Zhao Feng's opponent was Lin Fan.
"I give up."
Lin Fan did not want to spend too much energy against Zhao Feng and he immediately gave up.
Battle 7th.
His opponent was Liu Yue'er, the only threat under Bei Moi and Ran Xiaoyuan.
Everyone thought that this would be an interesting battle, but Zhao Feng used a lightning strike and defeated Liu Yue'er in a few moves. Leisurely, Zhao Feng had won 6 battles and became the top of the remaining contestants.
Sister Yuan's eyes twinkled as she locked onto Ran Xiaoyuan.
“I... I don't know..”.
Ran Xiaoyuan's face turned apple red as he shook his head and mist appeared in his eyes like he had been blamed for something he didn't do.
“This has nothing to do with Xiaoyuan. Zhao Feng's submission means he doesn't have to participate in a fierce fight.”
The voice of the Broken Moon Clan Master sounded and at this moment, the competition had ended.
The seven disciples were: Bei Moi, Ran Xiaoyuan, Zhao Feng, Liu Yue'er, Sun Yuanhao, Lin Fan and Chen Yue.
Apart from the last disciple Chen Yue who was at the peak of the 3rd Sky, Zhao Feng was familiar with the others.
the 3 core disciples and 7 inner disciples would participate in the Floating Crest Trial 10 days later.
“Yang Gan, Quan Chen, Lu Hu, Bei Moi, Ran Xiaoyuan, Zhao Feng.. 10 of you have obtained the qualifications to participate in the Floating Crest Trial once every five years.”.
A deep and powerful voice echoed throughout the field, announcing the end of the Floating Peak Competition.
The competition was only to get entrance to the Floating Peak Palace.
“Ten of you will meet here in 10 days.”
The gentle and clear voice of the Clan Master rang out and as soon as he finished speaking, the five auras of the True Spirit Realm left.
………
The crowd began to disappear and those who failed had dim eyes.
"I can't believe that I can also participate in the Floating Crest Trial."
Lin Fan felt like he was dreaming. Although he was once a top outer disciple, he had not long been an inner disciple and he had no hope at all to enter. But the young man next to him had changed his destiny.
Lin Fan had used the rewards from the mission as a stepping stone to propel himself into the 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm. Straight after, Zhao Feng had given him a High-class Mortal skill, closing the gap between him and the Elders disciples.
Adding to the fact that Lin Fan was willing to work hard, the latter grasped this opportunity. Lin Fan took a deep breath and he did not say any words of thanks, but he silently recalled this.
Zhao Feng and Lin Fan were back together and not far from them were Xiao Sun and Princess Yun Mengxiang.
Xiao Sun's eyes were filled with unwillingness and he felt extremely annoyed. He forgot that he did not even put any hope at all to enter. But seeing that Lin Fan and Zhao Feng were both getting entitlements, his heart could not calm down.
Yun Mengxiang sighed and he was very sorry. But he knew that time had passed. If he could keep his relationship with Zhao Feng before, maybe he would be Lin Fan next to him.
After returning to their courtyard, Zhao Feng and Lin Fan parted ways and they began to prepare themselves fully for the Floating Crest Trial.
On the 5th day.
The First Elder called Yang Gan and Zhao Feng and the latter understood that the reason they were called was because of the Floating Peak Trial.
This event was held once every five years and Master Hai Yun had not only participated once, not even the First Elder had ever participated.
The First Elder was 100-200 years old and he definitely knew a lot about the Floating Crest Trial.
“The specific contents of the Floating Crest Experiment are different at all times, but only one thing does not change. The longer one persisted in the trial, the higher the chance of being recognized by the Floating Peak Palace. At the same time, those who live longer in the Trial will have a higher chance of getting a better reward.
The First Elder only said about what it was and Zhao Feng immediately asked a few questions: “Can we understand it as a time of survival? The longer a person lasts, the higher the score?”
"Fuckin' thick! It's about who survives until the end.”
“Of course there will be 'bait' in the trial. These feeds will also have the dangers that come with it and the slightest mistake can mean failure The 1st elder added.
He did not say too much about the Floating Crest Trial as everything relied on strength and understanding.
After leaving the First Elder, Zhao Feng returned to his residence and told Lin Fan everything.
As for the past 5 days, Zhao Feng was only focused on cultivating and since he had reached level 11 of the Silver Wall Technique, his cultivation progressed rapidly and he reached the peak of the 2nd Sky.
……
In the blink of an eye, the last 5 days had passed and before the sky had subsided, 10 disciples had gathered in the Central Hall Division.
These 10 were all elites who had obtained the qualifications to enter the Floating Crest Trial and the 3 Core disciples were the leaders.
3 Core disciples: Yang Gan, Quan Chen and Lu Hu.
Yang Gan - ranked 2nd out of the 10 Core disciples and in the 5th Sky of the Ascending Realm. One of the best options for new head disciples.
Lu Hu - ranked 7th out of the 10 core disciples and in the 4th Sky of the Ascending Realm. Forte: Body reinforcement.
Quan Chen - rank 10 of the 10 most recent Core disciples and core disciples.
Among them, Yang Gan was the strongest and many people, including the First Elder had high hopes for him.
Some even estimated that Yang Gan's score could surpass that of Hai Yun Master, who had the highest score in decades.
Besides him, many also placed great hopes on Bei Moi.
Standing in the group, Lin Fan was a little nervous as all these 'opponents' were stronger than him.
"Brother Zhao, will Brother Yang help you?" Lin Fan asked.
"No." Zhao Feng firmly shook his head.
The Floating Crest Trial was a place where their destiny could be changed and everyone who entered would try their best.
Once they entered the Trials, Yang Gan would try his best and try to get the best score he could, meaning he would not have time to help Zhao Feng.
According to what the 1st elder said, the reward accompanied by the slightest of luck and mistakes would fail, even if one were in the 7th Sky of the Ascending Realm.
"Aren't you worried at all?"
Lin Fan glanced at Zhao Feng's confident figure and he couldn't help but admire him.
Zhao Feng smiled faintly and he did not reply. After realizing the truth of this trial, he was not worried at all. With his mysterious left eye, he possessed great battle power and survival rate.
“Compare survival time?”
Zhao Feng laughed coldly in his heart as his left eye started pounding.
Sou - Sou - Sou
Several auras in the True Spirit Realm appeared and landed in the Central Hall Division. The youths realized that the Clan Master, 1 Elder and the other 3 Elders had flown near Floating Crest Palace.
Weng~
The blue lightning around the Floating Crest palace gave everyone a mysterious feeling like being in a fairyland. Zhao Feng sharply felt that the lighting around had reached its peak strength, like 'full'.
"Open!" The 1st elder exclaimed as a wave of True Power emerged from his palm and went to the Floating Crest palace.
At the same time, the Clan Master and the other 3 Elders also put their energy into the Palace. As the 5 in the True Spirit Realm placed their strength into the Floating Crest palace, the palace began to rumble and the lightning became brighter.
And finally!
All the lightning condensed into a single point and under the guidance of 5, it merged into a blue palace.
Huangs!
Everyone felt the air tremble and Zhao Feng used the power of his left eye to catch the wisp of transparent ripples that appeared with the Floating Peak Palace as the center.
Although his left eye can see through the blindfold, his vision will be reduced. But even then, Zhao Feng could see the 5 using the ancient array in the Floating Peak Palace itself to open it or, the lightning surrounding it could kill them.
After maintaining it for a while, the Floating Peak Trial Gate opened with a 'explosion' and the lighting inside was so bright that even Zhao Feng could not see it with his left eye.
"The Floating Peak Palace has finally opened!"
Everyone was excited and a staircase appeared at the entrance of the palace.
the 5 in the True Spirit Realm stepped onto the stairs and they signaled for the 10 below to ascend.
Sou! Sou! so then…
the 10 elite disciples in the Ascended Realm all circulated their True Strength to help themselves fly and land on the stairs.
Standing on the stairs, Zhao Feng could feel an extremely ancient old aura from the shining white palace.
