Chapter 405 Ready To Go
Several elders adjusted the monitoring angle of the large screen and quickly found Cui Tianming's location.
After seeing Cui Tianming's current situation, all the elders were shocked.
"How did this happen? Who could have beaten him like this?"
On the large screen, Cui Tianming was lying unconscious in a tree hole.
His body was charred, and his clothes were tattered. Judging from the extent of the damage to his clothes, everyone could guess the intensity of the previous battle.
What surprised the elders the most was the circular scar on his chest, which was exactly where the defensive bead was located.
"Who could have done this? They actually managed to break the defensive bead. Could it be that there are other experts inside the Tianji Tower?"
"Impossible. The Tianji Tower is a top-grade celestial treasure, and only Foundation Building stage cultivators are allowed inside. It's impossible for others to come and go as they please. There hasn't been any problem in thousands of years!"
"Perhaps it was another disciple who reached the peak of the Foundation Building stage and broke through inside?"
One of the elders proposed a possibility.
But after careful consideration, everyone shook their heads.
Although this was the most likely scenario, it still seemed unrealistic.
Cui Tianming had already completed his breakthrough inside, everyone knew that.
In other words, he was already a Gold Core realm expert. Even if he didn't have much combat experience, he couldn't be easily defeated.
Moreover, even if a disciple's strength reached the Gold Core realm, it was not guaranteed that they could break the nine-star defensive bead.
So they really couldn't figure out what had happened.
"Let's keep an eye on him. If the other party is targeting Tianming, they might continue to attack him."
A friend of the second elder reminded them.
All the elders nodded.
Although some of them didn't get along well with the second elder, they couldn't kick him while he was down.
So the monitoring screen of the elders continued to display only Cui Tianming's status.
On the other side, after Lu Yu repelled Cui Tianming, he found that there was no one in front of him, and he knew that he must have been saved by a treasure.
"What a waste. To bring such a powerful treasure during the trial. It can defend and teleport. This kind of treasure must be at least a celestial-grade, right?"
Regarding the fact that someone carried a life-saving treasure, Lu Yu could only envy and be jealous, but he had no way to do anything about it.
Who asked his grandmother not to love his uncle?
But he didn't blame himself, instead, he consolidated his cultivation while continuing to protect Ling Tianxin and the other two.
He didn't know if he had broken through too quickly or if women were just troublesome.
The two of them had been breaking through for a whole day and still hadn't completed the final breakthrough.
And at this moment, another unexpected guest arrived in front of Lu Yu and the others' formation.
"Ding San?"
Lu Yu looked at the person walking towards him and furrowed his brows slightly.
Because he didn't know if Ding San was an enemy or not, he didn't make a move in advance.
"You are Lu Yu, the first person in the previous trial of the Tianji Tower in Gongyue City?"
Ding San arrived in front of the formation but did not step into it.
Lu Yu nodded inside.
"It's me. What can I do for you?"
"I dare not ask for your guidance. I just want to see how talented the disciples of Gongyue City are. How about a fight?"
"Sorry, I'm not interested. How about we compare our results in the Tianji trial instead?"
"Sure, let's do that! But if I win, I want you to refine a pill for me."
Ding San nodded and made his request.
Lu Yu smiled lightly.
He was originally an alchemist, and even if Ding San didn't mention it, he would still refine pills several times a day.
So this request was simply too easy for him.
"If I win, will you find me a pill formula that I haven't seen before?"
"Sure, it's a deal."
After saying that, Ding San turned and left without any hesitation.
Watching his figure disappear from sight, Lu Yu finally let out a sigh of relief.
He looked down and realized that his hands were sweating.
He originally thought that he could easily defeat Cui Tianming, and his strength should be considered top-notch within the Tianji Tower.
But he didn't expect Ding San, who seemed ordinary, to give him such pressure.
Just the faint aura of oppression made him feel uneasy.
If the two of them really fought, it was really hard to say who would win or lose.
"He really is a genius. Hard work alone can't reach this level."
It wasn't until now that Lu Yu was certain that Ding San was not just a hardworking individual, but a talented genius.
After seeing off Ding San, several other disciples from the Greedy Wolf Hall passed by his formation.
Actually, the disciples of the Greedy Wolf Hall were not so combative. At least these disciples didn't show any hostility when they saw him, they all turned and left.
And so the second day passed in a hurry.
When the sun had just risen on the third day, Ling Tianxin finally opened his eyes.
"Breakthrough!"
He felt a powerful spiritual energy release from his body, and then this spiritual energy circled around his body before returning to him.
His body seemed to have undergone a breath of spiritual energy.
After Ling Tianxin completed his breakthrough, Su Jin also followed suit.
"Phew... I didn't expect the breakthrough to take so long."
After Su Jin completed her breakthrough, she stretched lazily and stood up.
"What's next? What are we going to do?"
"Next, we have to go to the central trial ground of the Tianji Tower. The Tianji Trial will be held there tomorrow."
While they were breaking through, Lu Yu had already figured out the method of this trial.
In the center of the space created by the Tianji Tower, there was an arena.
In this Tianji Trial, everyone had to enter that arena.
After entering the arena, the Tianji Tower would assign a virtual spirit beast to each participant for them to fight against.
This was no different from the trial in the Tianji Tower in Gongyue City.
But there was another characteristic of this trial, which was that it didn't prohibit others from disturbing your trial!
In other words, when you faced the spirit beast sent by the Tianji Tower, you might also encounter other disciples from the Greedy Wolf Hall attacking you!
To be honest, even dealing with the spirit beast assigned normally was difficult without overwhelming strength, let alone dealing with other disciples from the Greedy Wolf Hall.
The competition used a scoring system.
Defeating a spirit beast of the current level earned 1 point, defeating a Greedy Wolf Hall disciple who came to cause trouble earned 3 points, and attacking someone else's trial ground and succeeding earned 2 points.
In short, there were many ways to earn points, but whether you could obtain them depended on the participants themselves.
Lu Yu and the others tidied up their equipment a bit, collected their formations, and then headed towards the central trial ground of the Tianji Tower.
