Chapter 110: Old Taois
t
"Who is there? The toughest test?"
Su Yan was shocked, then he suddenly crawled up and looked around.
He couldn’t help cursing in secret that he even had opened the toughest trial!
This was absolutely the cruellest test!
After all, Xia Ze only opened the ordinary trial, and Tie Baocai just predicted that Su Yan would open the elite trial. Unexpectedly, he now got himself in the toughest one!
At this moment, an old man in a quaint Taoist robe appeared out of thin air behind Su Yan, with white messy hair covering his face. It was difficult to discern his exact look.
Quite freaked out, Su Yan looked at the old Taoist and asked, "Are you a human or a ghost?"
"It seems that the trial field has not been opened for a long time."
The old man yawned and stretched himself. He said indifferently, "You are lucky to open the trial field. But unfortunately, countless overmatches had died here over the years. The gatekeeper of the first test is outstanding, the King Kong is gifted in its power since it was born. Adult ape can even tear the gods and devils with bare hands. Now you want to defeat it with your current strength? It’s impossible!"
"Even though your potential is stronger than King Kong’s, you’ll never make it as its power will always be stronger than yours!"
“Who are you?” Su Yan was confused. Looking at the old Taoist with vigilance, he asked, “Are you also the keeper of the toughest trial? Someone from ancient times?”
"You will know me in the future."
The Old Taoist said slightly, "You can ask me three questions. I have to remind you that it's best to be related to the trials. If you can't pass it, you'll be a dead man over time!"
Su Yan clenched his fists tightly. He was anxious and doubtful about three questions!
"What if you can't answer them?" Su Yan spoke after a silence.
"Just ask." The Old Taoist said confidently with a little bit of pride, as if there was nothing he did not know in the world.
"Well, the first question is, why does this trial field exist?" Su Yan asked, "Is it just for passing it? Was it left by a strong man? And how many tests are there in it? Has anyone succeeded before?"
Su Yan couldn't help thinking of the Training Pagoda left by Zhu Yue.
"Haha, you do have many questions."
The Old Taoist smiled slightly and said, "I can answer your last question for free. From the beginning till now, no one ever succeeded after all these years!"
"What? No one? After all these years?" Su Yan was stunned like seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
"It's nothing to be surprised about."
The Old Taoist laughed, "Forget about getting through the trial. If you can reach the seventh or the eighth test, you can run amuck the universe!"
Su Yan was short of breath. He couldn’t believe that a trial field on the earth would be terrible like this. Whoever reached the seventh or the eighth test could run roughshod in the universe!
That was so incredible.
"Forgive me for I can't tell you who built it. There are nine tests in it, each tests a different aspect. Of course, as long as you can break through all, the rewards are worthy of all the danger and hardships along the way!"
The Old Taoist said slowly, "The first question is answered. I advise you not to waste any time. Come on!"
"You just said what I used is brute force?" Su Yan continued after some contemplation, "Do you mean that I can use magical martial skills? Can you teach me some?"
“Sure!" The Old Taoist nodded slightly in approval, "My existence is to help challengers pass the trials. Only if you show enough talent can I spend time helping you. Remember that any kind of body and potential make no difference in the trial ground!”
"Here you will experience the cruellest trial. I have seen many gifted men over the years. Take the Supreme Body for example. They are no doubt powerful yet lots of them died here!"
Su Yan saved the last question. He quickly sat down to recover and absorbed the divine essence of the trial field.
"The strength of King Kong will increase gradually. My current strength is not powerful enough to beat it. Only by using the Big Dipper Boxing can I stand a chance. Does this Old Taoist know about it?"
Su Yan still had some doubts. It was incredible to say that he deeply felt a great secret hidden in the earth. Was the earth once a very prosperous planet — a super primordial planet of life?
"Buzz!"
Su Yan spent a whole day in cultivation. When he stood up, divine brightness surrounded his whole body. Resplendent rosy clouds outbroke when he performed the Alkaid Boxing, bombarding toward King Kong!
The explosive power of this punch was amazing. After all, it was the Big Dipper Boxing. The Alkaid Boxing deserved to be called as the top little magic. With the help of it, Su Yan smashed one punch after another at the King Kong, which was mighty enough to shake the ape.
But one thing important to mention was that the explosive power of this boxing was so amazing that it consumed quite a lot of Su Yan’s energy. Su Yan couldn’t keep using the Alkaid Boxing to deal with the ape.
Once again, Su Yan was blown away mercilessly. He frowned painfully and said, "Old Taoist, could you please give me some directions?"
"Why not!"
His answer made Su Yan moved. Did he really know the Big Dipper Boxing?
"The Alkaid Boxing you just performed has no power to vanquish the enemy!"
The Old Taoist said coldly, "It seems that although you know the approach to cultivate the Alkaid Boxing, you have limited experience in martial arts. If you want to master it, you must lead Qi, blood and strength of your whole body to burst out the power of vanquishing the enemy in order to exert the mightiness of it!"
"Though named boxing, the Big Dipper Boxing is actually a martial art that mobilizes the whole body!" The Old Taoist shook his head and said, "You are just new to the Alkaid Boxing, far from mastering it. Take your time and comprehend it gradually!"
Su Yan frowned, closed his eyes and meditated the Alkaid Boxing.
In the jade slip Zhu Yue gave him, the entire starfield quaked and the giant planet outside the domain also shook along with the Alkaid Boxing.
Of course, it was the strongest Alkaid Boxing, which Su Yan currently couldn’t achieve. He must perceive the rules between heaven and earth so as to win a glimmer of hope of defeating the King Kong!
"Alkaid, vanquish the enemy!"
Su Yan muttered to himself, and his Qi and blood were constantly heaving and operating. He was meditating the Alkaid Boxing and realizing the true meaning of it slowly!
"What he meant is to condense my strength and outburst the momentum of Alkaid by the power of vanquishing the enemy!"
Su Yan brightened his eyes. He was not in a hurry to act because he still had some time which mustn’t be wasted on the road of blind fighting. He felt that if he couldn’t get through it, he would really die here!
While Su Yan cultivated hard in the toughest trial field, tens of thousands were severely killed or wounded among all the hundreds of thousands of cultivators who entered the trial ten days ago.
The shocking casualties caused a big sensation, and even 90% of the cultivators were shut out!
The difficulty of the assessment was also staggering!
Tie Baocai behaved like he knew it would be so when he got the news. He estimated that only a few people had opened the elite trial and the rest ordinary!
"Su Yan is also dead!"
A message spread throughout the Huaxia Alliance, and the entire Huaxia Alliance was suffocated for a time. Now Su Yan got quite a fame and attracted great attention, but he had not appeared ever since he entered the trial!
"It can’t be true? How can Su Yan die there? He is the man who has ten thousand horsepower in Awakening Realm!”
"There’s nothing impossible! So many people died there, why couldn’t him? Don't forget that the time limit of the first test is ten days. But Su Yan hasn't come out yet!”
Some people couldn't believe that. Was Su Yan dead?
Liu Chengtian looked grave. How could Su Yan die? It couldn't be difficult for him to challenge the trial with his current fighting power!
They couldn't believe it. Tie Baocai cursed after hearing the news, "How can he die in the ordinary trial? Su Yan must be in the elite trial, the time limit there is not ten days!"
"Su Yan, you can’t die, you must come out alive!"
Yuan Zhengqi and others looked sullen when they got the news. If Su Yan died in the trial field, what about his treasures? More importantly, Zu Yan didn't know about the trial field yet as he was in his closed-door cultivation striving for the next realm.
If Su Yan died in the trial field, Zu Yan would go crazy!
Thinking of that, Yuan Zhengqi, in particular, had a mixed feeling of fury and excitement upon the news, because it was all Su Yan’s fault that he was expelled from the college by Liu Peng. And last time, at the gate of the Base No.9, he was nearly roared to death by Su Yan.
"Su Yan, it's nothing to challenge the Training Pagoda. Though I don't know why you don't come out, maybe you are dying!"
Teng Yingjie was full of confidence. Since he followed Zu Yan, his strength increased so fast that he even made it to the top ten in the ranking of the trial field. But for the strong men of old generation, he had faith in reaching the top.
Jiang Wuhen was killed by Su Yan with one rod. Yu Yiling kept a low profile. Now it seemed that the younger generation was headed by Su Yan.
Teng Yingjie had a special body constitution. As long as he had enough talent, he would rank high in the trial field!
This caused a heated discussion, but then some people found that Martial Lord and Tong Huoyin were also in it!
Some people wondered whether there were other trial levels in it?
Time went by day after day!
Ten more days had passed, Su Yan got a narrower space to move in the trial field!
For twenty full days, he was overwhelmed with fear every day and was beaten hundreds of times by King Kong!
"Boom!"
A shadow suddenly appeared in the depth of the ancient cave, like a God and also a Devil conveying the sound of rivers rushing in his limbs and bones!
Su Yan's breath awakened completely!
"Bones as mountains and meridians as rivers!"
Su Yan stood steady as a rock between the heaven and earth, with long black hair on his shoulders.
His bones were like stars, and his meridians were like rivers!
Su Yan's whole body was like an ancient starfield gushing out light here.
He meditated Incipient Scripture in his mind, and performed the Big Dipper Boxing with the Tao and Magic of the Incipient Scripture.
At this moment, Su Yan began to wake up, his momentum escalating. When it reached the ultimate, a furnace of heaven and earth came to the world!
Su Yan roared up into the sky, releasing enormous power that could engulf the rivers and mountains. His body seemed to have turned into a bunch of light that could surge up into the star field!
"Buzz!"
Flaming and dazzling, he rushed up in an instant with his fist lifted up, pulling the strength that was quenched inside his body, which, when bursting out, unleashed thousands of golden glows that were powerful enough to split mountains and rivers.
"Boom!"
His punch struck against the fist of King Kong. Two powerful forces confronted each other, shaking out waves of energy ripples that swept away in all directions.
King Kong roared loudly. Performing its Body- refining Manual, it smashed down its two huge arms, powerful with the strength of dragon, towards Su Yan, intending to suppress him once again!
"Mizar Boxing!"
Su Yan stood on the ground steadily and glared his eyes wide like a Buddhist King Kong with angry eyes!
As if opening a door of the starfield with his body, he was unshakable, disdaining the sky and the stars. The boiling breath in his body rose up, and the masculinity of him was exuberant!
When King Kong's gigantic arm hit him, Su Yan stood firmly like a mountain, a golden bell, or a huge furnace, and bore the full brunt of it with his body!
Su Yan, however, did not move, and his body, as if made by gold, shone brilliantly!
"The Big Dipper Boxing!"
With boxing seal in his hands, Su Yan transformed into a golden warlord, unleashing unfathomable Qi that pierced the sky!
With the awakening of the Big Dipper Boxing, Su Yan's body was like a blurry primordial planet, brimming with horrifying energy!
"Boom!"
He pushed forward. King Kong could not bear the power of Su Yan and was blown away!
