Rise Against Desperation

The blue inscriptions and formations drifted back and forth on the battling platform before entering the circular platform. An ancient brown stone platform appeared.    

    

"During last year's martial arts competition, those two ruthless men of the Zhan Clan cut the stone platform in half!"    

    

"That's right!" I heard that those two have entered the inner sect, right? "    

    

On a two thousand meter high stone platform, two warriors of the Martial Spirit Realm fighting each other in half would be extremely destructive. Hearing his words, Lin Gu's eyes showed a contemplative expression.    

    

The number of experts in the Zhan Clan could not be compared to the number of cultivators in Cloud City.    

    

The moment the stone platform appeared, a grand voice filled with Martial Qi drifted out from the sky, "All outsiders that wish to join the War house, enter the arena."    

    

All! Was it a battle royale? Lin Hu, who was standing on the stage, had a puzzled expression on his face.    

    

However, what he thought was not what he thought. Standing on the stage, he saw a blue wall of light appear around him. This blue wall of light was the array formation that had previously entered the circular platform.    

    

Not only did it form a piece of wood within the blue wall of light, but this piece of wood was made out of a wall of light. Lin Hu, who had a puzzled expression on his face, heard the following words.    

    

"Hahaha!" The first place belongs to me! "    

    

"Humph!" Even though I, Wang Li, am a female, I will not lose to you in the test of strength. "    

    

A voice came from the sky.    

    

"Alright!" You all know how to take the first round. You are not allowed to release your martial qi, and are only allowed to use your physical body's power, whoever can break this piece of wood in the fastest time is the winner of this round. If you cannot break through within ten minutes, then you will be eliminated.    

    

"Young Master Li, you're the best! "Come on."    

    

"Miss Wang, you're the strongest, seize the middle grade spirit weapon armor."    

    

"Young Master Zhao! Prove to them that you are the strongest. "    

    

Excited shouts came from the onlookers below the stage. These young masters and young ladies all had confident smiles on their faces. The other rogue cultivators were not convinced, but there were also some who were indifferent.    

    

Those with indifferent expressions didn't have any expectations for first place as long as they could pass the first round.    

    

"Bang, bang, bang!"    

    

Sounds of attacks came from all directions. After the old man finished speaking, these people had already started to fight against time to attack with their fists.    

    

Looking at the actions of the people around him, it turned out that this piece of wood was used to test his strength.    

    

He raised his fist, and his eyes focused as he punched out.    

    

"Crack!"    

    

Lin Hu was stunned. Looking at the people around him, they seemed to think it was very difficult, but he did not expect it to be so easily broken.    

    

Lin Hu, who had a puzzled expression on his face, discovered that all eyes were fixated on his body. Lin Hu was slightly astonished by this scene and stood rooted to the spot in shock.    

    

Zhan Feng gave himself a big thumbs up and Lin Hua, who had just recovered from his shock, stood up. He ignored the gazes of the crowd as he walked up the platform.    

    

He had already known that the first person to come out would be able to claim the reward. Looking around him now, he seemed to be the first person to come out. With a joyful expression on his face, Lin Hu walked up the stage.    

    

"Who is this person?"    

    

"I don't know!" Looking at these plain and simple clothes, it should be the descendant of an otherworldly expert? "    

    

It was as if there was a whisper beneath the stage, yet there were disdainful and doubtful voices on the stage.    

    

"Wait!" I suspect him of cheating. "    

    

However, no one cared. How could this pure physical strength cheat? Unless one used a weapon, was the power of a Martial King in the sky useless?    

    

Lin Hu didn't pay attention to the sounds of disbelief behind him as he walked up the stage and took the armor.    

    

The armor was surrounded by a black golden glow. It was like a short sleeve. After the armor came close to his body and his soul consciousness entered it, the armor went back into his body and was hidden inside his sleeve.    

    

This scene was filled with envy and greed. Not just these people, even Zhan Jun's eyes were filled with greed.    

    

When he discovered that Lin Hu had obtained first place, astonishment appeared in his eyes. However, it was more so a sinister smile.    

    

The words and actions of the people around him had nothing to do with him. After obtaining the first place prize, they quietly stood below the stage, waiting for the human figures above to finish their examinations.    

    

After ten minutes, out of the one thousand five hundred outsiders, one thousand had been eliminated, leaving only around five hundred.    

    

The eyes of these people were filled with disappointment. They had never expected that they would be eliminated in the first round. How could they be willing to accept this?    

    

The one thousand eliminated martial artists quietly stood around the martial stage and did not leave. Their eyes all looked at the remaining five hundred or so people.    

    

At this moment, Lin Hu was being surrounded by a crowd. Without saying anything, he calmly stood there, only to see a person walking over with a furious gaze.    

    

"Can you sell me that spirit artifact of yours?"    

    

"I'm not selling!"    

    

As the calm voice rang out, the man in front of him furrowed his brows, "Do you know who I am?"    

    

"I don't want to know. Even if you are the deity of war gods in the sky, it has nothing to do with me."    

    

Just as this person was about to get angry, the old man's words came from the sky again.    

    

"Next round of the soul test! The losers will be eliminated. "    

    

With that, the remaining five hundred people walked up to the center of the stage. A ten meter tall and five meter wide stone monument appeared in the middle of the stage.    

    

"That guy broke that log with a single punch. He's actually exactly the same as Senior Brother Zhan Hui all those years ago. So powerful!"    

    

"Humph!" Perhaps his soul is weak. "    

    

"Do you really not like outsiders to be so good? Is it really that hard to recognize someone else's excellence? "    

    

"I think you little girl must have taken a fancy to someone else, right? Tell me this. "    

    

Hearing the sounds of discussion coming from behind him, Lin Hu felt slightly helpless. Right now, he was thinking about what the reward for the first rank in the second round of the Divine Soul Realm would be. That was the only thing he could think of.    

    

"Fellow Daoist!" What reward is there for the first place in the second round? "    

    

He turned his head to a young man beside him. This young man knew that Lin Hu was the first in the first round, so he didn't have much arrogance in his words. He calmly said: "Low grade Totem Wind Boots!"    

    

Another spiritual weapon! In the past, Spirit Treasures were extremely rare in Cloud City, but he didn't expect that a mere two rounds of examination would result in a Spirit Treasure being given to him. Upon seeing this scene, a smile appeared on Lin Hu's face.    

    

The youth's heart skipped a beat. The confident smile under the sunlight caused his heart to be filled with shock. Could it be that this fellow wanted to take first place?    

    

A youth walked up and placed his hand on top of the stone tablet. At the same time, the stone tablet emitted a bright light.    

    

The youth's tightly shut eyes constantly trembled. At the same time, his complexion gradually turned pale. This was a sign that his soul had been released to its greatest capacity.
