786: Chapter 786 Rapid Progress, Self-Awareness

Rather than blindly building up power, which would lead to a slight emotional breakdown.

The five who failed suffered obvious emotional breakdowns; their auras were chaotic as they tried to build up power again, but they couldn't succeed no matter what.

This scene startled the others who were still building up power, and they all secretly warned themselves not to be too hasty and to continue building up power.

Otherwise, if they ended up like those five, all their efforts would be in vain, and their mental state would be ruined.

Thus, everyone quietly built up power for a total of two minutes.

Lei Chengba was speechless; were they being a bit too cautious? Some clearly had the ability to destroy the floating mountain peak, yet they were still just sitting there building up power.

Being overly cautious could easily lead to missing a good opportunity.

Suddenly.

One person unleashed a Martial Skill toward the floating mountain peak. After a stalemate lasting dozens of seconds, they finally succeeded in breaking through the seven layers of barriers and destroying the peak.

At this point, the number of people who passed the third trial reached seven.

Following that person, the eighth and ninth qualifiers appeared one after another.

With only the last floating mountain peak remaining, the rest of the people could no longer hold back and all launched their offensives toward it.

Among them, a swift blade light struck the barrier, destroying seven layers of barriers in succession; the process was easier than it had been for the previous few people.

Boom!

The tenth floating mountain peak was shattered. The person who unleashed the blade light looked dazed, seemingly not expecting the process to be so easy, let alone that he could shatter the floating mountain peak himself.

His name was Wu Yiqing, and he was at the Peak Transcendence Realm.

Looking at the empty space in the distance where all the floating mountain peaks were gone, the remaining forty people were full of despair. How were all ten floating mountain peaks shattered so quickly?

The Emperor-grade low-tier weapon and the perfect red sky hidden thunder pill were gone.

"Alright, the third trial has officially ended."

Lei Chengba glanced at the person who had unleashed the blade light and then spoke to the crowd.

I was talking about you, kid; you clearly had the strength to shatter the floating mountain peak, yet you insisted on keeping your head down and building up power.

Don't you know your own strength?

Lei Chengba complained inwardly.

"Everyone performed excellently by discovering the trick to passing the trial in such a short time."

"Before the fourth trial begins, I will first distribute your respective rewards."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Chengba moved the forty people eliminated in this trial to the left side of the initial mountain peak.

Then he moved those eliminated in the second trial to the right side of the initial mountain peak.

"First, I will distribute the rewards for 100th to 51st place."

Dozens of qiankun rings suspended in the air, and then, under the envious gazes of the other 902 people, the recipients took their rewards with both hands.

"Thank you, Venerable Ba!"

A deafening sound rang out as dozens of people respectfully thanked Lei Chengba.

"Next are the rewards for 50th to 11th place."

Another dozens of qiankun rings appeared, slowly floating before the people who had earned them.

Taking the qiankun rings, the crowd thanked Lei Chengba again: "Thank you, Venerable Ba!"

Lei Chengba smiled and nodded, his eyes turning toward Su Yuan and the other ten: "After the fourth trial ends, I will distribute the rewards for 10th to 3rd place."

"Currently, only the top ten have been decided, but 1st and 2nd have not yet been determined, so those will be distributed later."

Su Yuan and the others said in unison, "Yes, Venerable Ba."

"The next trial." Lei Chengba's eyes swept over Su Yuan and the other ten one by one: "Only two people can pass."

"The two who pass will then proceed to the final trial to compete for first place."

"The Shenxuan Battle Realm is progressing rapidly; as of now, only two trials remain."

At that moment, Ye Yuandao outside simultaneously said, "Progress is indeed rapid. The Shenxuan Battle Realm opened at twelve, and now it's not even one o'clock."

"Three trials have taken less than an hour in total."

"Indeed." Leng Chenxuan nodded and continued, "Everyone's clearing speed is very fast, and Su Yuan and the Little Immortal Saint are especially ridiculously fast."

"They were the first to pass every trial, and they spent the rest of the time waiting for everyone else."

Fang Tianyu said in a low voice, "Two trials left."

"To determine the top two and the first place."

"The top two will definitely be Su Yuan and the Little Immortal Saint. First place is hard to say, but it will likely be the Little Immortal Saint's."

"Let's wait and see whether it's the Little Immortal Saint or Su Yuan who takes first place in the end."

After speaking, Fang Tianyu and the others fixed their gazes on the Shenxuan Battle Realm.

After Lei Chengba finished speaking, almost everyone's gaze turned toward Su Yuan and Chen Shenxiao in unison.

The fourth trial would determine the top two; wasn't it obvious who those two were?

Ten people remained to challenge the trials, and among them, the strength of Su Yuan, Chen Shenxiao, and three others was vastly superior.

Among those five, Su Yuan and Chen Shenxiao were ahead of Ning Ransheng and the other two.

And it was an indisputable lead.

Everyone had witnessed the performance of Su Yuan and Chen Shenxiao in this Shenxuan Battle Realm; it could only be described with the words 'Heaven-Defying'.

Setting aside Chen Shenxiao.

Su Yuan hadn't been in the Shenyuan Holy Land for long, but he had an extremely outstanding performance from his first day; the abilities he showed in the regional battle were eye-opening.

With just that one battle, Su Yuan made a name for himself in the Shenyuan Holy Land's Outer Hall.

In the following month or so, Su Yuan's strength improved every day, reaching a level where he was now evenly matched with the Little Immortal Saint, Chen Shenxiao.

Whether the two were hiding their strength, no one knew.

At least on the surface, Su Yuan and Chen Shenxiao's strength was about the same.

Even compared to Ning Ransheng, Xiao Yuerou, and Wang Xiuliang, there was a huge gap between them and the two.

Among the ten including Su Yuan, except for Ning Ransheng whose expression remained unchanged, the other seven also looked toward Su Yuan and Chen Shenxiao.

After a glance, they withdrew their gaze, and three words gradually surfaced in their minds.

Unbeatable.

With bitter smiles on their faces, Wang Xiuliang and the other seven even felt that the results of the fourth trial could be announced directly.

There was no need to conduct the trial challenge; just announce Su Yuan and Chen Shenxiao as the winners.

Competing with those two for a passing spot had zero probability of winning.

Although the seven thought this, they would still have to challenge once the fourth trial was announced.

"The fourth trial." Lei Chengba scanned Su Yuan and the other ten with a smile: "This trial is also very simple."

While he was speaking, a shadow that blotted out the sky suddenly appeared.

Everyone looked up as an ultra-large floating mountain peak appeared, slowly descending to a position level with their eyes.

"A ten-person free-for-all; the last two remaining will pass the fourth trial."

The mouths of Wang Xiuliang, Xiao Yuerou, and the others twitched violently.

What was the difference between this and the final regional battle? Just change the scene and change the two winners to one, and it would be exactly the same as the final regional battle.

The format of this trial was far too perfunctory.

But perfunctory or not, even with a different format, they were no match for Su Yuan and the other.

Ultimately, any format would be the same; it couldn't change the outcome at all.

"Venerable Ba." Wu Yiqing suddenly raised his hand and asked.

Lei Chengba looked at Wu Yiqing and said with a faint smile, "Please speak."

"Venerable Ba, may I ask if we can surrender in the free-for-all later?"

"There's no way I can beat the Little Immortal Saint and Su Yuan."

Lei Chengba didn't know what to say about Wu Yiqing; after a moment of helplessness, he spoke.

"You can."

Wu Yiqing scratched his head and chuckled honestly, "Okay, then I'll just surrender directly later. I have self-awareness."

The others actually had the same idea, thinking about just surrendering later.

Rather than getting beaten up, it was better to honestly withdraw from the free-for-all.
