A Glare Across the Air!

Seeing Tantai Jing walking towards the Azure Dragon, everyone's eyes turned to Tantai Jing.

There was no way around it; Azure Dragon was simply too aloof. He wouldn't utter a single word about why Zheng Yu had failed. Now that Tantai Jing up, everyone was eager to see if he could succeed.

Soon, Tantai Jing's situation became exactly the same as Zheng Yu's.

An invisible pressure suddenly made the usually arrogant Tantai Jing feel constipated. However, Tantai Jing was better off than Zheng Yu, at least he was prepared.

So although the pressure made him pause for a moment, Tantai Jing quickly recovered and continued walking towards the star chart in front of the Azure Dragon.

One step... two steps... three steps...

When Tantai Jing took his eighth step, his situation looked somewhat similar to Zheng Yu's.

The immense pressure made Tantai Jing tremble all over.

But as it turns out, Tantai Jing's abilities are indeed not in question.

When Tantai Jing set up the Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation to challenge the younger generation, although he relied on the power of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation, it must be said that Tantai Jing's true strength was still recognized by everyone.

As he took his ninth step, a smug look appeared on Tantai Jing's face, but it didn't last long...

The moment Tantai Jing his tenth step, he finally couldn't hold on any longer.

A mouthful of blood spurted from Tantai Jing's mouth, but Tantai Jing was truly strong-willed. Even though he was being suppressed to the point of spitting blood, Tantai Jing showed no sign of backing down. Instead, he chose to take another step Xiangqian.

However, when he took the eleventh step, Tantai Jing could no longer withstand the pressure from the Azure Dragon, and he was sent flying backward.

Chu Xinghe quickly stepped forward and caught Tantai Jing as he flew backward. Without saying a word, he stuffed two Eighth Rank pills into Tantai Jing's mouth.

"I'll give it a try!" Fan Sheng looked unconvinced as he watched Tantai Jing and Zheng Yu both fail.

At this moment, Fan Sheng walked quickly towards the direction of Azure Dragon, but compared to Zheng Yu and Tantai Jing, Fan Sheng was obviously still a bit lacking.

Fan Sheng only took six steps before he was sent flying backwards.

Then Guo Qizhen and others stepped forward one after another, and Chu Xinghe was laughing so hard he was numb.

Well... you guys just need to charge in. I, Senior Brother Xinghe, will support you this time. You guys are responsible for charging forward. As long as you fall, I, Senior Brother Xinghe, will prepare two Eighth Rank pills for each of you.

Please don't worry about whether Senior Brother Xinghe has enough Eighth Rank pills. You guys just need to focus on making them... I don't even know how many pills I have in my Qiankun Ring!

I, Chu Xinghe, brought all the various pills that Mu Bai and the others produced. Let alone one or two pills, even if you plan to fight a protracted war here, we don't need to prepare any other food. The pills alone are enough to keep us from starving for a year.

As everyone stepped forward one by one, they roughly understood what the Azure Dragon's test was all about.

Tantai Jing's eleven steps were already the limit. Fan Sheng and others who followed him couldn't even surpass Tantai Jing Zheng Yu's eleven steps.

Therefore, everyone concluded that the Azure Dragon Domain should be a test of cultivation level. The higher the cultivation level, the easier it should be to withstand the pressure of the Azure Dragon and get closer to Azure Dragon.

From where everyone is, it's about twenty steps to where Azure Dragon placed the star chart, but so far, eleven steps is the maximum.

Seeing everyone fail, Douding'er became a little anxious. Douding'er took a few steps and headed towards the Azure Dragon, intending to try the Azure Dragon's test herself.

Although Douding'er is the King of the Savage Wilderness, Douding'er cultivation level is not very high. After all, the strongest abilities in the Savage Wilderness are in beast taming.

Therefore, everyone thought that even if Douding'er went up there, it wouldn't be of much use.

Just when everyone thought that Douding'er would fail quickly, a scene that left everyone stunned appeared!

Douding'er surged Xiangqian, instantly breaking Zheng Yu's eight-step record, and then reached Tantai Jing's eleven-step position. However, unlike Tantai Jing, Douding'er didn't feel much pressure at this point and continued Xiangqian until she reached the fifteen-step position, only five steps away from the finish line.

Just as Douding'er was about to take another step Xiangqian, an immense pressure suddenly descended, and Douding'er, like the people in front of her, coughed up blood and flew back.

The audience. "???"

What's going on? At this point, not only were others confused... even Chu Xinghe was a little dumbfounded.

Zheng Yu failed after taking eight steps, Tantai Jing failed after taking eleven steps, and the others couldn't even reach Zheng Yu's eight steps. Everyone's first reaction was that this Azure Dragon Trial must be a test of cultivation.

It should be that the higher one's cultivation level, the more steps one can take.

But what's with Douding'er taking a full fifteen steps ahead of Tantai Jing?

If you say that Tantai Jing's cultivation is slightly stronger than Zheng Yu's, people can somewhat accept that... but to say that Douding'er is stronger than everyone before, isn't that a bit outrageous?

So everyone understood that the Azure Dragon's test wasn't a test of cultivation level, but rather a test of something else. However, the Azure Dragon remained aloof and silent, leaving everyone confused about what was going on.

Finally, everyone's eyes fell on Chu Xinghe.

At this moment, seven of the eight had already failed, and Chu Xinghe was the last one left.

Seeing everyone's slightly confused expressions, Chu Xinghe's eyes were brimming with tears...

Thanks to the sacred beast Azure Dragon... Although I, Chu Xinghe, still don't understand what this Azure Dragon Trial is all about, I never even considered succeeding, and if you're talking about failure, then I'm definitely going to fail!

If I fail even once, then the Azure Dragon Trial will be considered a failure for everyone.

What should you do after failing?

Of course, it means a new sacrifice and a new assessment...

This Spirit Beast Island is simply a blessed land for me, Chu Xinghe!

We've only just seen the Azure Dragon, and we've already failed the first Azure Dragon. If we fail three or five hundred times in a row, do you think this drain on our resources will be significant?

What the heck?

You're saying the resources everyone brings might not allow for so many consecutive failures?

There's absolutely no need for you to worry about that. Putting aside everything else, I, Chu Xinghe, have brought the maximum amount of resources this time. I, your Senior Brother Xinghe, will cover the cost of all the resources sacrificed today!

"Senior Brother Xinghe, there's no need to feel pressured. Even if we fail, we can try again!" Zheng Yu quickly said as he watched Senior Brother Xinghe go up for the last time.

"Yes, yes, yes... Senior Brother Xinghe, there's no need to feel pressured. We can figure out what this test is all about gradually. Senior Brother Xinghe, just think of this first test as a trial run!"

Even if we fail, we can just try again!

Everyone was chiming in with their own words, afraid of putting any pressure on Senior Brother Xinghe.

But hearing everyone's words, Chu Xinghe burst into tears.

Well... thank you all for your understanding, I, Chu Xinghe, feel absolutely no pressure.

After all, I never expected to succeed; I was aiming for failure. So tell me, where's the pressure?

Of course, these words could only be kept in his heart, so on the surface, Chu Xinghe appeared very serious.

He got up and walked towards the direction of the Azure Dragon...

One step... two steps... three steps... Soon, Chu Xinghe took his eighth step. But after taking the eighth step, Chu Xinghe didn't know what the others were thinking. All he knew was... why the hell didn't he feel any dragon's oppressive power after taking eight steps?

Could it be that my cultivation level is too high?

Step nine... also without any pressure...

Step 10... Still no pressure...

The eleventh step... has already matched Tantai Jing's record, but still hasn't felt any sense of the dragon's might descending...

Now it was Chu Xinghe's turn to be dumbfounded... Wait... what happened to the promised intense dragon's might? What happened to the promise of being unable to withstand it? What the hell is this lack of reaction?

Is Azure Dragon asleep?

As Chu Xinghe took his twelfth step, the Azure Dragon suddenly opened its two enormous eyes and stared blankly at Chu Xinghe.

Whether Azure Dragon was stunned or not, Chu Xinghe n't know; what he knew was that he was absolutely stunned...

You guys aren't all ganging up on me, are you?

You all coughed up blood after taking just a few steps... but I haven't felt a thing yet, what's the meaning of that?

Brother Azure Dragon... stop messing around... please unleash your dragon might quickly, or I'll just fly backwards right now, okay?

Perhaps hearing Chu Xinghe's inner cry, the Azure Dragon, which had been somewhat stunned, opened its eyes wide and gave Chu Xinghe a glare from mid-air!

The problem is, the Azure Dragon's glare from mid-air is truly terrifying; after all, how could anyone not be frightened by being stared at by two such enormous eyes?

And so, an incredibly bizarre scene unfolded...

The Azure Dragon's enormous eyes stared intently at Chu Xinghe from mid-air... as if to say... Are you sure you can't feel the pressure of its dragon might?

Chu Xinghe stared helplessly at Azure Dragon... Um... I'm pretty sure, I really can't feel it at all... Brother Azure Dragon, can you please stop messing around... I'm waiting to fail, and instead of unleashing your dragon might, what's with this aerial glare?

Now, staring at each other wide-eyed, Azure Dragon looked like he had a question mark on his forehead!

Chu Xinghe had even more question marks on his forehead...

The problem is, I can't just keep asking questions right now... Chu Xinghe saw that he had already taken fifteen steps... and was only five steps away from the star chart, but now, let alone the dragon's might, I couldn't feel anything at all!

Brother Azure Dragon, you're not in some kind of trouble, are you?

Come on, put down my defense! I'm just waiting to fail! If you don't make a move soon, I'll succeed!

Seeing the somewhat bewildered Azure Dragon, Chu Xinghe gritted his teeth and stomped his foot... Azure Dragon, you're not going to make a move, are you... You're just playing me!

Since that's the case, then don't blame me Chu Xinghe, for playing you too!

The moment Chu Xinghe took the sixteenth step, a constipated expression appeared on his face, exactly the same as when the others were oppressed by the dragon's might.

Seeing Senior Brother Xinghe's sudden expression, Zheng Yu and the others were shocked! Was... was Senior Brother Xinghe about to fail?

But the most surprised one had to be Azure Dragon; right now, all that was left on Azure Dragon's forehead was a question mark...

My dragon's might clearly didn't intimidate him, so why is this kid suddenly acting like he's being suppressed by it?
