224: Shen Bohan

The third floor of the Myriad Worlds Pagoda.

A stretch of plains.

Xiao Weiqing stood as straight as a pine, with a Stone Pillar still beside him.

Name: Xiao Weiqing

Number: 115432

Trial Rank: Third Realm Late Stage

"Trial begin!"

Within Xiao Weiqing's vision, two Gray Wolf Yao Beasts suddenly appeared. They were a size smaller than the Rhinoceros Demon from before, but the Aura they emitted was much stronger.

"Awoo~~~"

The two Gray Wolf Yao Beasts were very coordinated, one on the left and one on the right, as they ran toward Xiao Weiqing, crossing paths and constantly changing positions.

In just two seconds, less than three.

The two gray wolves had already reached attack range. One leaped up, its extended claws gleaming with a cold light, while the other suddenly accelerated, circling around to open its bloody maw from the side.

The two gray wolves were determined to kill Xiao Weiqing.

Facing the flying Gray Wolf.

Xiao Weiqing was calm and unhurried, slightly raising his left hand.

"Fire Owl!"

A pillar of flame instantly pierced the Gray Wolf's skull, and the wolf's entire body dissipated in the sky.

With his right hand, he slashed down on the other Gray Wolf's head. Half of the wolf's head was sliced off, and its body vanished with the wind.

"Trial passed!"

A stone gate appeared on the grassland.

Xiao Weiqing stepped inside.

This time it was a mountainous area, with strangely shaped rocks everywhere.

This time, the trial Rank on the Stone Pillar beside him was Fourth Realm Early Stage.

"It seems each floor corresponds to a Realm."

An electronic voice sounded again.

"Trial begin!"

After waiting for two seconds, everything around was calm.

"Hmm?"

"No, above!"

Whoosh!~~

A purple figure brushed past Xiao Weiqing.

A few drops of blood were drawn into the air.

"Damn!"

Xiao Weiqing never expected it to be a bird-type Yao Beast. In Great Xia, powerful bird-type Yao Beasts were very rare, having been mostly hunted to extinction; some people even called for them to be put under protection.

"This should be a Purple Lightning Falcon."

The Purple Lightning Falcon's body was covered in purple feathers, with electricity flickering between the gaps. Its pair of sharp claws glinted with a chilling light. This Yao Beast possessed extreme speed and explosive power.

Xiao Weiqing's Refined Fire surged, removing the faint numbness in his arm. Holding the thousand flame blade, he stood ready.

"Screech!~~~"

With a sharp cry, the Purple Lightning Falcon dove straight down at a speed close to the speed of sound, turning into a bolt of lightning so fast that Xiao Weiqing could only see an afterimage.

Boom~

"Flame Dome~~"

A sun-like burst erupted from within his body.

"Whoosh~~"

A figure moved extremely fast, charging into the Fire Domain, but its speed suddenly dropped.

"Clap!"

Xiao Weiqing was quick of eye and hand, slashing a wing of the Purple Lightning Falcon before another strike decapitated it.

"Trial passed!"

The scene shifted.

Xiao Weiqing arrived in a desert.

Yellow sand danced across the sky, gathering into a black Ink Scorpion. It wasn't large, with a body only about two meters long, but its tail was longer than its body at nearly three meters, especially that pitch-black tail stinger, which was a full half-foot long.

"Thud! Thud!"

Without any warning.

Two tail stingers shot toward Xiao Weiqing.

"Clang! Clang!!"

The thousand flame blade flashed with fire, easily cleaving them apart.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~~ Whoosh~"

One after another, the Ink Scorpion continued to fire its tail stingers.

Xiao Weiqing's gaze was stern and incredibly calm.

He swung his blade to block them one by one.

"Fire Owl!"

As the move was unleashed, the Ink Scorpion's two pincers slammed the ground, kicking up a large cloud of sand while it burrowed beneath the desert to dodge the attack.

A second later, it appeared again.

It repeatedly shot tail stingers at Xiao Weiqing once more.

"Damn it, this is never-ending."

Xiao Weiqing took a step forward, his pace varying between fast and slow. With a strange rhythm, he dodged the tail stingers one by one and arrived near the Ink Scorpion, slashing down.

The Ink Scorpion was prepared and dove directly under the desert.

But how could Xiao Weiqing let it go?

The thousand flame blade was thrust directly into the ground.

"Die!"

Endless Qi Fire erupted. This patch of sand could not withstand the high temperature and instantly melted.

"Sizzle~ Sizzle~~"

Before the Ink Scorpion could escape far, it had already breathed its last.

"Trial passed!"

He successfully passed the 5th floor without much effort.

This time, Xiao Weiqing did not rush to the next floor but opened his Wristband to check the real-time rankings of the Myriad Worlds Pagoda.

First place was Shen Bohan, trial level 11, time 7 minutes 24 seconds, corresponding to a strength of Sixth Realm Middle Stage.

Myriad Worlds Pagoda.

Starting from Third Realm strength, every three floors correspond to a major Realm. Thus, floor 7 corresponds to Fifth Realm Early Stage, floor 8 to Fifth Realm Middle Stage, and floor 9 to Fifth Realm Late Stage.

Shen Bohan's 11th floor was Sixth Realm Middle Stage, and he even fought the trial target for over 7 minutes before losing. No wonder Fan Bai said Shen Bohan was a freak.

The rest of the list.

There were a few people on the 10th floor, and many more on the 9th and 8th floors, over a hundred.

"Continue!"

Xiao Weiqing's goal was at least to pass the 6th floor because there was a special challenge between the 6th and 7th floors. Successfully completing it allowed one to choose a Level 5 Talent Skill.

Between two mountains.

A continuous drizzle.

A giant pagoda stood tall. The sandstorm did not stop because of the rain; instead, it became even more violent.

Inside the pagoda.

Divided into thousands of worlds.

Hundreds of the top geniuses on Blue Star were fighting.

The 6th floor, a certain Small World.

Xiao Weiqing killed a Golden Lion Yao Beast with a single slash, successfully passing the trial.

"Trial passed!"

"Trial to the left, Shadow to the right."

At this time.

Unlike before, two doors appeared in front of Xiao Weiqing.

The left was to enter the next floor.

The right was the special challenge. Xiao Weiqing did not hesitate and stepped inside.

This time.

Xiao Weiqing appeared on a very standard arena, a thousand meters long and wide.

"Please choose your opponent. Defeat them to leave a shadow and be rewarded with a Level 5 Talent Skill."

In the center of the arena.

Three phantoms: Shen Bohan, a Technique Cultivator on the left; Lin Lang, a Spirit Cultivator on the right.

The one in the middle, even as a phantom, made one see the difference at a glance. It was truly Dongfang Hao. He was very handsome, no less than Xiao Weiqing, and importantly, his Aura was very powerful.

"Please choose your opponent. Defeat them to leave a shadow and be rewarded with a Level 5 Talent Skill."

The electronic voice sounded again.

Xiao Weiqing thought for a moment and decided to choose Shen Bohan. He had an impression of Lin Lang, who was in the top 10 of the historical battle power rankings.

He wasn't certain.

Although this was their strength when they cleared the 6th floor, compared to Spirit Cultivators, Xiao Weiqing was more willing to fight Technique Cultivators.

As for Dongfang Hao, forget it.

"I choose Shen Bohan."

In the center of the arena, the phantoms of Dongfang Hao and Lin Lang vanished, leaving only Shen Bohan. The arena beneath his feet also disappeared, turning into yellow earth.

Shen Bohan's phantom gradually solidified, becoming no different from an Immortal Master.

The two stood a hundred meters apart, with no obstacles between them.

"Trial begin!"

As the words fell.

Shen Bohan's figure suddenly shot forward, crossing the hundred-meter distance in the blink of an eye.

His fist, carrying pale yellow Spiritual Qi, whistled as it smashed toward Xiao Weiqing. The powerful airwave caused Xiao Weiqing's hair to straighten backward.

Xiao Weiqing kicked the ground hard and jumped backward.

At the same time.

The thousand flame blade appeared in his right hand, and he struck out with a slash.

"Ding~"

When the thousand flame blade met the fist, a metallic clashing sound actually rang out.

With the first move failing, Shen Bohan turned his fist into a palm and swiped toward Xiao Weiqing's throat.

Xiao Weiqing held his blade horizontally and retreated again.

The fingertips scraped across the blade's body, kicking up sparks and making a piercing sound.

"Earth system? Or rock?"
