117: Chapter 117 Breakthrough

The pressure on Chi Anlin had already reached the First Realm, Eighth Stage. At this moment, his body was creaking under the weight, making him uncontrollably doubt his life.

If these people weren't eliminated soon, he reckoned he would be forced to his knees once the pressure rose another level or two.

The pressure slowly rose to the next level, and soon, another ten people crouched down.

These were mostly students in the First Realm. The gap between the Mortal Rank and the First Realm was significant, so many Mortal Rank students simply crouched down the moment they encountered the First Realm pressure.

Although they had been warned by the White Spirit King, a few people still ended up vomiting blood and collapsing from forcing themselves to endure, and they were carried away from the scene.

"This batch has good potential." The Beacon Fire King stared with great satisfaction at a fire-element Qi Cultivator. Aside from the Phoenix Fire Lord, this person was the strongest fire-attribute cultivator present; he would definitely take this person as his disciple.

As for War Bodies, in all these years, he had never taken one as a disciple. Two years ago, he had been quite satisfied with Chi Xueyue, but she had been directly claimed and taken away by the Phoenix Fire Lord.

Meanwhile, the Demon Subduing King was staring at Ji Hongfei. Although the child was a bit arrogant in his speech, his foundation was actually very good.

Under normal circumstances, the presence of one King at the opening ceremony would be enough. But this year, there were four War Bodies, which led many Kings to come over, intending to take a War Body as a disciple to inherit their legacy.

Five minutes passed, and several more people crouched down. Now, only five people remained on the field.

The surrounding students crouched on the ground, whispering amongst themselves.

"Who is this person? How can she persist until the end alongside the War Bodies?"

The non-War Body on the field was a female Qi Cultivator at the First Realm, Second Stage. At this moment, her face was full of stubbornness, and she was drenched in sweat. Several times she was almost pressed to her knees, yet she persisted and straightened her legs again.

"Her name is Chen Yue. I heard her family is poor, and all her cultivation resources were obtained by risking her life in the Otherworld. If it weren't for that, her cultivation would probably be on par with Ji Hongfei's by now."

Chen Yue's mind was blank at this moment; her spirit was being pressed to the point of daze.

However, even so, she gritted her teeth and persisted. Blood dripped from her tightly clenched fists, her sharp nails digging into her palms.

Opposite her, the bones in Mo Yu's body were also creaking.

"Chen Yue?" Mo Yu heard the surrounding discussions. Even though he couldn't see, he still roughly sensed the direction of Chen Yue, then smiled helplessly and chose to crouch down.

Suddenly, the surrounding crowd began to exclaim. All along, everyone had been instilled with the concept that War Bodies were the strongest at the same level, so everyone felt it was normal to be unable to compare to a War Body.

But today, a girl who relied on herself to obtain cultivation resources had actually surpassed a War Body.

Hearing the exclamations around her, Chen Yue looked with difficulty towards Mo Yu's direction. Seeing Mo Yu crouched on the ground, she closed her eyes with a sense of relief.

The next second, she could no longer bear the pressure on her body and collapsed.

Just as she collapsed, lightning flashed across Mo Yu's body, and he erupted with astonishing speed. As Chen Yue hit the ground, he caught her body and then gently placed her on the ground.

Above in the sky, the White Spirit King looked at Mo Yu with great satisfaction. At this moment, the Beacon Fire King raised his voice and said, "What's wrong with this kid? I see he still had energy left, yet he just crouched down! Does he lack even this bit of willpower?"

The Water Moon King rolled his eyes at him and then released the restrictions on Mo Yu.

There were immediately only three people and one Beast Tamer's beast left on the field.

The pressure on Xiao Yue had already reached the Second Realm, First Stage. Cross-stage pressure was even more terrifying, and Xiao Yue's body was already tottering.

"A First Realm, Eighth Stage beast; just how strong is Chi Anlin's spiritual power?"

"It's just opportunism. This guy's own strength must be very low, otherwise how could he persist for so long? I reckon his own realm is probably only low-stage Mortal Rank!" a male student at the mortal rank eighth stage said sourly.

"Although a Beast Tamer's own strength is weak, it doesn't change the fact that Chi Anlin is already bearing pressure that exceeds his own by two small realms. Didn't you just fail to withstand the pressure of the Mortal Rank Ninth Stage?" another person mocked.

"I heard from the elders in my family that among the War Bodies this time, one of them has a beast that is also a War Body..."

"No way? Among these War Bodies, besides Chi Anlin, who else is a Beast Tamer?"

At this time, a student from Lin City said, "I heard from a Lin City instructor that during the college entrance exam test, Chi Anlin's three professions had all reached the Mortal Rank Ninth Stage, and at that time, his beast was also only at the Mortal Rank Ninth Stage."

The surrounding students immediately all looked at him: "Are you kidding?"

There were too many shocking points, leaving them unsure of where to start.

Just as everyone was whispering, the pressure on Xiao Yue increased by another level. Suddenly, Xiao Yue's fur fluttered violently, and scorching flames erupted, turning Xiao Yue into a fire wolf.

Xiao Yue, which was almost pressed to the ground, straightened its body. After a long howl, flames spread out, making a crackling sound.

"What?" Several Kings were involuntarily shocked. Because of the Phoenix Fire Lord's concealment, they could only roughly sense that another War Body had manifested on Xiao Yue, but what they didn't expect was that the attributes of these two War Bodies were actually opposite.

Originally, the occurrence of a dual War Body had never appeared among the human race, and now it was actually a War Body with opposing attributes.

How on earth did this Wolf Beast balance the spiritual energy within its body?

Several of them looked at King Feiyu, and upon discovering that King Feiyu was also wearing a look of shock, they lost the desire to continue asking.

In so many Otherworlds, there are countless demonic beasts, so everyone did not know Xiao Yue's species. Demonic beasts actually do not have a fixed evolutionary direction; everything is possible.

The further increase in pressure level caused Dan Yunyao to be unable to bear it as well. After glancing at Ji Hongfei's direction, she simply crouched on the ground.

The pressure on Chi Anlin reached the First Realm, Ninth Stage, and he almost fell over.

"That makes no sense..." He looked at Ji Hongfei. He was someone who had used cheats; his physical body was incomparably stronger than cultivators of the same realm. Was Ji Hongfei's physical body really this strong?

Ji Hongfei looked at Chi Anlin expressionlessly. If it weren't for his legs shaking wildly, it might really make people think that this bit of pressure was nothing to him.

The pressure on his body grew greater and greater. Chi Anlin gritted his teeth, forcibly enduring the pressure closing in from all directions, his muscles being pressed to the point of deformation.

The spiritual energy in his body began to repair the damage to his body, making Chi Anlin's physical body become increasingly indestructible.

At this moment, the ground centered on Chi Anlin cracked open, and an astonishing aura erupted from Chi Anlin's body.

The barrier of his realm shattered like a dam bursting. Chi Anlin's body straightened, and the effect of the pressure on him instantly became much smaller.

He had broken through!
