Chapter 186: Some families are happy and some are worried
Central State City ruins, outside the Central State Trial Tower.
It was getting late and the stars filled the night sky. The earth was silent with a jade white trial tower silently standing in the middle. It had remained the same for several thousands of years, never changing at all.
The Four Great Families were around the trial tower, divided into four camps.
There were many guards for each of the camps, creating a tense atmosphere that filled the sky around them.
This never fading ancient ruin was one of the lowest level trials out of the countless trials out there. This place did not seal one’s cultivation base like the ten thousand corpse ancient ruins and it wasn’t dangerous like the other forbidden trial spaces. Out of all the previous participants, there has been a very low mortality rate.
At least for the last several hundred years, there has not been a single death that arose from the trial tower.
Although it was like this, that did not mean the trial tower was completely safe!
The main reason why the trial tower had a low mortality rate was that the trial array protected the participants. When the trial tower determined that they had been heavily injured, the trial tower would decide that the participant’s life was in danger.
It would automatically heal them and then send them out of the trial tower to protect their life.
What it counted for were instant fatal injuries.
If one accumulated injuries to the point that they were seriously injured, but weren’t considered on the edge of death by the trial space, what would happen then? The situation would be different. If they were eliminated from the trial space, they would still be seriously injured!
Or what if the trial law array judged incorrectly?
If they achieved a fatal injury and could not even react, would the trial space let them die?
So even if there was not a precedent for someone dying, there had been one or two times that people came out seriously injured. Finally the injuries had their repercussions, causing them to damage their cultivation bases!
The Four Great Families did not dare slack off for a second!
Their family elites were encircled around the Central State Tower with pharmacists and therapists. If something happened to their heir, then they would be able to react as soon as possible.
Xiong Wu Ji’s army was also encircled around the tower, with the duty of maintaining order. These Four Great Families did not get along and if they started fighting, then the army would mediate the situation.
Xiong Wu Ji said with a happy expression, “With there being two groups in the trial, staying in for this long time and having no one eliminated is really unexpected!”
“That’s right!” A vice general said in a strange voice, “In the past, over half of them would have been eliminated by now!”
There was a large variance in trial participant strength.
Chu Xinghe and the other three were Illustrious Soul Realm experts.
Chu Tian, Nangong Yun, Yun Xiao, and the others were all at the 2nd Awakened Soul Layer.
Chu Xinghe also far surpassed the others. Even if the others added their strength together, it would not be enough to match his!
However, because the strong Chu Xinghe existed, the trial’s difficulty would be increased by quite a bit. It would definitely be much harsher compared to previous years. No matter how intelligent Chu Tian was, under this kind of harsh condition, a few of them should have been eliminated, right?
The Four Great Family members were filled with curiosity!
Especially the Chu, Luo, and Ye Families!
What was happening!
Chu Tian could actually stay in the trial tower for this long? Didn’t they tell them to quickly find Chu Tian to cripple him and then throw him out of the tower?
Yun Tianhe, Chen Bingyu, and the others were also a little anxious.
Yun Tianhe had a conservative guess that a person like Yun Xiao could only stay inside for four-five hours at most. If Yun Yao were to help him, then he might be able to stay in for fifteen-twenty hours…..As for Chu Tian, that fellow was too strange, so it was hard to make an estimate for him.
However, over ten hours had passed already!
Why had no one come out?
What was happening!
Yun Tianhe was quite worried. There was a large amount of pressure on the Yun Family this time and even if Yun Yao had the Thunder Spirit Bead in hand, she still would not be able to stop the combined might of the Chu, Luo, and Ye young masters! Not to mention that trash Yun Xiao!
Chen Bingyu also slightly knit her brows.
She was not only Chu Tian’s follower, she was also his admirer. Not to mention that Chu Tian was the person who had saved her life!
Ka, ka!
Chen Bingyu’s fists tightly clenched as a vague killing intent slowly filled the air! If the Chu, Luo, and Ye Families dared to do anything to Chu Tian, she would not let them off!
Everyone kept thinking their various thoughts for another two hours.
A light came from the trial tower and it began to shake slightly.
“Someone’s coming out!” Everyone focused on it, “Who is it?!”
Light began to come from the Central State tower as ancient runes appeared, coming from the tower. It was an ancient number, “One hundred and eighty eight points!”
One hundred and eighty eight points?!
Compared to all the previous results, this was considered very extraordinary!
A white robed young man was sent out, slamming into the ground!
The people of the Yun Family revealed happy looks on their faces!
Damn, isn’t this their family’s young master Yun Xiao?
The other people were all stunned. Yun Xiao had been considered a playboy for so long, yet he was able to get one hundred and eighty eight points? What was happening! He had to have cheated!
The Yun Family were all in high spirits!
This was a pleasant surprise that they could feel proud of!
There was nothing wrong with Yun Xiao as he popped out of the trial space, suffering no internal injuries at all. He stood up and began to curse, “Fuck! Those monsters are just too abnormal! Stabbing father in the back with an arrow! I’m not satisfied! I’m not satisfied!”
Yun Tianhe quickly asked, “What’s the current situation inside the tower!”
“Boss, old sis, big sis, and the others are all together. When I was sent out, nothing should have happened to them! However, they are being held down by a pack of terrifying monsters and their attacks have no use on them, so it’s a very bad situation overall!”
Yun Tianhe’s brows knit together.
The three other families secretly laughed to themselves!
It would be best if they were all eliminated at once!
Yun Xiao exchanged for his items and gave them all over to his grandfather, “My harvest from the trial tower is huge this time. I exchanged for several sets of martial arts that our Yun Family can use, like this «Mad Thunder Burst» which could destroy most of our martial arts. As well as this «Lightning Shadow Step» which is a high level movement technique……”
Four-five sets of lightning attributed cultivation techniques!
Three half step Saint Grade medicines!
Two pills that could increase his might!
The things that Yun Xiao obtained from the trial tower were not normal. They were all top quality items that could increase the Yun Family’s strength by quite a bit!
The Chu, Luo, and Ye Families all revealed looks of envy!
A waste like Yun Xiao was able to obtain this much, then Yun Yao must have obtained even more. The Yun Family being able to send two people in this time, they have earned too much!
“Good! Good!” Yun Tianhe’s old chest filled with warmth over this good for nothing grandson finally contributing to the family. From now on, no one would be able to laugh at his grandson behind him, “You did pretty well. Go and take a rest!”
In less than half an hour.
The Central State Tower trembled once again and Lin Mu and Fang Han were kicked out.
One had one hundred and ninety five points!
The other had one hundred and ninety points!
The onlookers’ eyes turned red!
God, this is truly strange. These two were just mercenaries with no backing and no support, obtaining this chance to participate with luck alone. They never thought that not only would they obtain the qualifications to enter the trial, they would also obtain such high results!
They had more than enough to exchange for a Saint Grade medicine!
These two good for nothings had stood up from their failures!
The ones most enraged by this were the Chu, Luo, and Ye Families!
The spots they held had belonged to them. If even these trash could make such high progress, then if the Chu, Luo, and Ye Families’ geniuses were to go in, would their performance be lower?
Yun Xiao had a curious look on his face, “You guys got eliminated as well?”
Lin Mu and Fang Han both gave a sigh, “Those demons were just too strong, we had no way to deal with them. We were taken care of when we let our guards down!”
Yun Tianhe’s heart sank.
Although he did not know what was happening in the tower, he could see from their expressions that Chu Tian must have run into some kind of trouble.
There were several hundred of them?
Physical and energy attacks all had no use?
Their might was strong enough to break through an Illustrious Soul Realm expert’s defenses?
Under the attack of such terrifying monsters, could they not be completely eliminated?
The Central State Tower shook again – Two hundred and seventy six points!
Everyone was thrown into an uproar! Such a high score? It almost broke the record for the highest amount of points recorded!
The one sent out this time was Feng Caidie.
She had a depressed look of regret on her face.
Feng Caidie was not the same as the others. Chu Tian had found the method to deal with the demons and while Feng Caidie was operating the light mirror, she had accidentally sent the light back on herself!
Could she not be depressed?
Feng Caidie looked very depressed, but before being sent out, she had killed quite a few demons, so her points was much higher compared to the other three!
So this trip that she went on to gain experience became a pleasant surprise!
Her harvest far surpassed her own imagination!
“One higher than the other!”
The Four Great Families felt their blood boil!
If it followed this pattern, wouldn’t the people coming out after them have even higher points?
While Yun Tianhe was asking about what happened, he couldn’t help slapping the table and praising, “Good brat, he really is skilled! In this dangerous situation, he was actually able to find the demons’ weakness! It seems like they do have hope after all!”
The Yun Family had two participants!
Just Yun Xiao alone had retrieved several ancient lightning attributed martial arts and several half step Saint Grade medicines!
Then what would Yun Yao show them?
After an hour!
Hong, hong!
The light of the trial tower filled the sky and two numbers came out.
Three hundred and eighteen points!
Three hundred and thirty one points!
Nangong Yun and Yun Yao were sent out!
Everyone here was thoroughly shocked!
They broke the three hundred mark!
They actually broke the three hundred markl!
The Yun Family members exploded with joy!
A new record! They made a new record!
Yun Yao had obtained a terrifying three hundred and thirty one points and the highest recorded record did not even reach three hundred. Yun Yao had instantly destroyed the record that had lasted for over several years! This was truly a miraculous result!
Nangong Yun exchanged for a high grade level two Sacred Herb – the Ten Thousand Year Old Phoenix Ginseng. It was enough for her to break through to the Illustrious Soul Realm. In addition, she also received a large amount of cultivation techniques and equipment, giving her a large harvest!
Yun Yao also exchanged for a pretty good Saint Grade Herb, which she could use later to attack the 5th Awakened Soul Layer. She also exchanged for a few recipes, ancient books, and cultivation techniques to contribute to the family.
Who said the Yun Family was weak?
They were making a comeback!
While the Yun Family was jumping for joy, the Chu, Luo, and Ye Families all had depressed looks on their faces!
Logically it was impossible to obtain that many points in the trial. The ones who had obtained over a hundred points had done it by luck, so that meant these people must have met a fortuitous encounter!
Damn!
Why was it like this!
At that time, Nangong Yun and Yun Yao revealed a look of anger, “Damn that Chu Xinghe! He actually launched a sneak attack against us!”
Everyone was stunned.
Yun Tianhe quickly asked, “What happened?”
Yun Yao did not say anything before Nangong Yun indignantly shouted, “Chu Xinghe launched a sneak attack against us when we were unprepared! We were both killed by Chu Xinghe! Otherwise, we would have obtained quite a bit more!”
Yun Yao also had a face of anger!
He really was too underhanded!
It was fine if they were beaten in a fight, but that bastard Chu Xinghe actually launched a sneak attack!
When Yun Tianhe heard what happened, a shocked expression appeared on his face, “You’re saying that Chu Tian is still inside? And he is fighting Chu Xinghe, Luo Xianglong, and Yun Tianlang by himself?”
“Boss had a protective talisman that could block a single attack, so Chu Xinghe’s sneak attack should not have killed him!
Instantly!
Yun Tianhe’s face turned white.
Now it was time for the Chu, Luo, and Ye Families to show happy expressions!
With Chu Tian fighting the three of them alone, even using their ass, they would still be able to imagine the consequences!
The expressions of Feng Caidie, Yun Xiao, and the others all changed. Ye Tianlang and Luo Xianglong, they would not just simply kill Chu Tian, but rather they would try to cripple him!
This is bad!
Chu Tian is in danger!
