BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2156: Golden Mountain
“In a short while, I’ll oppress everyone. If you fall off the stage because of the pressure, you can leave the Ye Clan. Of course, you can also stay here and watch if you wish. You’re welcome here, as before,” said the senior official of the Ye Clan solemnly. Then, he stepped forwards and a terrifying pressure came down on the martial arts stage.
He skipped to the center of the martial arts stage, the air began to rumble, lights dashed to the skies and surrounded everybody. Everybody sensed the overwhelming pressure. That kind of pressure contained a special kind of strength, as it kept attacking their minds!
That special strength seemed to operate according to rules, as each wave of strength was more powerful than the previous one. Very quickly, many people had cold sweats, their hearts accelerated. It was getting more and more difficult to resist...
Lin Feng stood there and looked calm and composed. His physical strength was too incredible; he could naturally sense the oppressive energies, but they didn’t affect him at all.
But not everybody was like Lin Feng. Lin Feng had been cleansed by Deva-Mara Kalpa strength a few times, he was extremely strong for an emperor. These days, only emperors at the very, very top of the Huang Qi layer could compete with him!
The senior official of the Ye Clan took another step. Terrifying oppressive energies kept shaking the contestants. Someone was hurled off the martial arts stage. He pulled a long face, his silhouette flickered and he was gone. He was the first one to be eliminated, he felt too ashamed to stay and watch.
With such pressure, I won’t be able to resist much longer..., thought many people panting hard. In their respective hometowns, they were considered extremely strong, people called them geniuses and respected them. But here, they had the feeling they were merely ordinary.
They realized that the world was too big, there were too many geniuses!
The pressure grew more and more intense. More and more people fell to it. Each time a new wave of oppressive energy came down, their heartbeats accelerated. Indeed, selecting people this way was quick and efficient!
After a short time, less than a hundred people were left. However, the strong cultivator didn’t stop!
Even though Prince Wu Qing and Jiu Ling Huang weren’t taking the exam, they were also on the martial arts stage. They also sensed the pressure, but they stood there calmly, as if the strength couldn’t affect them.
The pressure grew more and more weighty. The senior official stepped forward once again. The air quaked, and lights flashed
This time, he put his foot down three times. Many people groaned with pain or coughed up blood. Some people were forced off from the battle stage. It didn’t stop, more waves of energies pulsed out. After the ninth wave, many people were hurled back. They looked at the battle stage and noticed only around fifty people were left.
Some people left the Ye Clan, some others continued watching. They looked desperate and disappointed. They hadn’t even passed the Ye Clan’s exam! It was a sad moment for them. Many people had traveled across the world to come here, but in the end, they wouldn’t be able to participate in the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds.
The senior official of the Ye Clan glanced at those left and smiled calmly. Only around fifty people remained. They were all extremely strong. It was going to be much easier for him.
“If you manage to force someone off the battle stage, then you’ll be selected and those who are forced off will be eliminated. Prince Wu Qing and Jiu Ling Huang, don’t participate,” said the senior official of the Ye Clan with a smile.
The fighter’s eyes glittered as they glanced around unhappily. They could force anyone off the battle stage to be selected? Of course, if a person had the chance not to be targeted at all and ended up in the remaining thirty cultivators, they’d pass too. It all depended on people’s choices!
If they had the initiative, they’d be able to choose their target. It depended on luck, how could they know who was strong or weak?
It wasn’t really fair, but the senior official of the Ye Clan didn’t care. Among the thirty people who were going to be selected, maybe five would be selected to participate in the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. Therefore, if five such people were there on the stage, they wouldn’t be eliminated.
Finally, someone moved, he had blood at the corner of his mouth. He moved in an eyeblink, a sharp golden spear appearing, space was bending around it. It was Dao power! In the twinkling of an eye, the atmosphere seemed to freeze. The face of the person who was targeted turned deathly pale. He couldn’t dodge. He had to counterattack with even more strength to stay on the stage. Otherwise, he’d be forced off it and eliminated!
Many people moved towards the center of the stage when they saw that, they couldn’t afford to give an enemy a chance. His attack was powerful; if they stayed near the edge, it could reach them! If they fell off accidentally, they’d be eliminated too!
Lin Feng didn’t move, confident of himself. However, someone looked at him, and that person charged him as an oppressive strength surrounded him. The attacker’s eyes were pitch-black, before fading to emptiness. He was trying to hypnotize Lin Feng! He was extremely strong and had a powerful vision technique.
However, that person saw that Lin Feng was totally calm and collected, just before cursing strength emerged from Lin Feng’s eyes. Wisdom King dharmalaksana strength appeared and blinded the attacker. He was being cursed!
“Piss off!” shouted someone explosively. He groaned in pain.
When he came back to his senses, he moved back. He had to move back without having reached his goal. Lin Feng still stood there on the edge of the battle stage, looking confident.
A terrifying Qi emerged behind him; he wasn’t attacking Lin Feng anymore, so someone else attacked him! He turned around and saw a terrifying fist coming in, containing immense bestial strength. It crashed onto his chest and a hole appeared. He was smashed off the battle stage.
“Bastard!” he shouted explosively.
However, the other one looked at him coolly and said, “Since you attacked other people, you should have been ready to be attacked by other people,” before heading towards someone else.
People kept shouting unceasingly on the martial arts stage. “It’s enough. You have exactly thirty people left.” said the senior official of the Ye Clan smiling.
Everybody stopped. They weren’t enemies. They just wanted to participate in the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. Since the first round was over, they could stop.
The first round was really easy indeed. They didn’t need much time, those qualified to go to the four influential groups had been selected already. Those who had been eliminated would have stood no chance at the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds anyway...
“Congratulations to those who succeeded. We collaborate with Golden Mountain, so in three days, early in the morning, we’ll gather there. Some cultivators from the Ye Clan will take you to Golden Mountain. Get ready to compete for the next round, which will determine whether you can participate in the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds or not,” said the senior official of the Ye Clan with a broad smile.
People nodded. Some people looked excited, some others looked indifferent, as if nothing had happened. Their goal wasn’t to be selected for the next round, but to be selected for the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds!
Many people sighed at the foot of the martial arts stage, thinking, I failed in the first round. There’s another round in the four influential groups, and then there will be the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. What kind of people will end up at the top of the rankings of the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds?
Thinking about that made them sigh. No wonder some people said that the top hundred cultivators of the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds were powerful and influential throughout the whole Continent of the Nine Clouds.
The crowd gradually dispersed. Lin Feng also left calmly. During these few days, many of the groups of Godly Clouds City organized exams. Afterwards, they’d head to the four influential groups. It meant that the date of the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds was approaching quickly!
Lin Feng followed some people slowly and gazed into the distance. He saw a golden empty space castle in the distance, reaching up to the clouds. It looked unique.
“That’s Golden Mountain!” said someone. The air began to whistle above them. Some people were moving quickly towards Golden Mountain in the distance. Even though those people were far from Lin Feng and the others, they could sense the Qi of the people in the distance. Before entering Golden Mountain, some people glanced at one another, they might become enemies inside...
