Chapter 950 Fifth trial: Test of Talent! (2)

ʼʼIsnʼt this trial practically impossible? How are we supposed to win against an early-stage Dao Emperor? I mean, if he was a normal Dao Emperor Iʼd still be somewhat confident in giving it a shot... but the chief outer court disciple? What kind of insane trial is this?ʼʼ

ʼʼDonʼt forget that you donʼt have to win. All you need to do is simply stay alive for an hour and you can pass the trial.ʼʼ

ʼʼʼSimply stay aliveʼ? Ah, of course, why did I not think of that? All I have to do is just survive the onslaught of the chief outer court disciple for one hour and I can pass. Thatʼs easy then... idiot.ʼʼ

A few of the surrounding Dao Kings were still hopeful of passing the fifth trial, despite hearing of how difficult it was from Xing Fei.

After all, most of those Dao Kings ranked in the top 100 were ranked there due to their monstrous talent. Even among the hundreds of thousands, or perhaps millions of Dao Kings that had entered the ʼCity of Immortalsʼ this time, they were still the cream of the crop.

They were geniuses who could contend against even early-stage Dao Emperors in the outside world, despite the difference in their cultivation base.

In fact, the two monsters at the very top of the rankings were even rumored to have killed a Dao Emperor realm expert each back in the central continent.

However, those who possessed more foresight knew how impossible of a task this fifth trial was actually going to be.

It was one thing to have to fight against a weak, newly advanced Dao Emperor with weak foundations, and another thing entirely to fight against a powerful expert with immense talent.

After all, this chief of outer court disciples was a supreme genius who had mastered an abnormally powerful, supreme-level Dao. Although most people in the top 20 rankings had also comprehended supreme Daos as well, could they really compare themselves to this chief outer court disciple in terms of talent? And even if they could, could they also compare when that person was now a powerful Dao Emperor realm cultivator?

Even if this person was merely an early rank 1 Dao Emperor, the difference between a peak-stage Dao King and a fully-fledged Dao Emperor wasnʼt one that could be measured with the difference of a simple minor realm. Normally, even ten peak-stage Dao Kings wouldnʼt be able to fight an early-stage Dao Emperor, let alone a genius like the chief disciple of the outer court. The more they thought about this, the more the surrounding Dao Kings realized how big of a wall this fifth trial was going to be!

ʼʼNo, I refuse to believe that this trial is impossible. Iʼve already made it this far, how can I just give up? Passing this means that we have a chance to become inner-court disciples in the future.ʼʼ

ʼʼThatʼs right! How did Huang Yun and the others even succeed in the first place? There is definitely a way to do it!ʼʼ

The eyes of some of the Dao Kings immediately lit up when the name Huang Yun was mentioned, as if they had suddenly found a rope to hold on. Indeed, the successor of the Huang family was rumored to have already passed this floor, and had already ascended to the sixth floor... and he wasnʼt the only one to do so either!

A few other monsters at the top of the rankings had succeeded as well, proving that this fifth trial wasnʼt truly impossible... just very, very hard!

However, Xu Tai who had stayed silent all this while, suddenly looked at the clamoring Dao Kings around him and said mockingly

ʼʼYou all think you are on the same level as Huang Yun, that abnormal monster? Sure, why donʼt you go ahead and try then? Give this trial a shot and see if you can pass. Worst case scenario, you just waste your last chance and get kicked out of the tower! No big deal.ʼʼ His words were like a wave of cold water, dousing the surrounding Dao Kings and instantly extinguishing the clamor in the great hall.

And yet, Xu Tai merely shook his head as he continued

ʼʼEven the fourth trial couldnʼt be considered easy. Sure, it wasnʼt overly hard, but it definitely wasnʼt easy. However, in comparison to this fifth trial, the fourth one was probably childʼs play. Other than brother Xing... and perhaps also brother Shun, I donʼt think anyone else has a chance here! If you donʼt have enough talent to rank in the top 15, passing the fifth trial is probably impossible.ʼʼ

Xu Taiʼs words were calm and unhurried as if he was merely stating a fact, but his words were like a hammer, rocking the hearts of all the Dao Kings inside the hall.

Indeed, Xing Fei was ranked in 16th place so he definitely had the best chance out of everyone else in the hall. And yet, even he had failed the first time he challenged this trial! Could the rest of them really succeed where he had failed?

As for Shun Long, some of the surrounding Dao Kings were still unconvinced in their hearts, thinking that he had only managed to kill Guo Chen thanks to his Immortal-grade bloodline, but they didnʼt dare to voice out those thoughts in front of Xu Tai.

After all, other than Xing Fei, Xu Tai was the second strongest person inside the hall right now, ranked in the 20th spot on the list, and it was clear that he was trying to befriend Shun Long.

Shaking his head, the silver-haired Xing Fei looked at everyone around him and smiled before he said calmly

ʼʼYou donʼt have to take Xu Taiʼs words to heart. Yes, itʼs true that this fifth trial is hard, and itʼs also true that Iʼve failed it once already, but itʼs still possible that some of you may have better results than I did. If you think you can do it, you are free to challenge it as well. Iʼve already shared everything I could with you anyway.ʼʼ

Standing up, Xing Fei turned his gaze towards the illusionary silver door just a few meters away from him and began to make his way over. However, before placing his hand on the door, he turned around and threw a look at Shun Long, before the handsome silver-haired man asked with a smile

ʼʼBrother Shun, Iʼm planning to challenge the fifth trial once more. How about it? Want to give it a shot?ʼʼ

However, Xu Tai who had stayed silent all this while, suddenly looked at the clamoring Dao Kings around him and said mockingly

ʼʼYou all think you are on the same level as Huang Yun, that abnormal monster? Sure, why donʼt you go ahead and try then? Give this trial a shot and see if you can pass. Worst case scenario, you just waste your last chance and get kicked out of the tower!
