Queen Medusa Really Had Come
Half a month later, a magnificent carriage came to a stop on a mountain peak outside Mo City. The carriage, without a coachman, stood out conspicuously at the foot of the mountain. The people gathered at the foot of the mountain were captivated by a villa visible from the summit. No one noticed the unusual nature of the carriage.
"Master, this is the place."
"Um."
A delicate, white hand lifted the carriage curtain, revealing beautiful eyes gazing at the mountain peaks. The beauty inside the carriage continuously extended her Soul Power, attempting to probe the true nature of the mountains. However, when her spiritual perception reached the foot of the mountain, it was intercepted by a strange energy.
"Indeed, it has some unique features," Queen Medusa couldn't help but exclaim.
The people gathered at the foot of the mountain all shared the same purpose as Queen Medusa: they all wanted something from the mountain's master. The number of people gathered there exceeded one million.
That's right, it's over a million people.
Recently, not only have the cultivation levels of Dou Zhe improved, but even some ordinary people have been able to cultivate. Moreover, those ordinary people who have been modified are improving their cultivation levels even faster than most Dou Zhe. Such benefits have attracted people from hundreds of miles around to gather here. It is said that even Princess Yao Ye of the Gamma Empire's royal family has left the imperial city and set off for this place.
"What were the test questions yesterday?"
"The first test is cockfighting. The second test is still a brain teaser. The third test is telling a joke; if you can make ten opponents laugh, you'll pass..."
Queen Medusa was utterly speechless as she listened to the test questions. Cockfighting, riddles, telling a joke to make ten opponents laugh... What kind of test was this? It was simply a joke.
It turns out that Qing Lin and Ya Fei were just playing around. These bizarre assessment questions were all come up with by Qing Lin and Ya Fei, and they even came up with new ones every day.
thud
Suddenly, Dao Bell bell rang out from the mountain peak. At the foot of the mountain, a million people fell silent. Many had previously made a ruckus after the bell rang, but all of them had been ruthlessly eliminated by Ya Fei and Qing Lin. From then on, whenever the bell rang from the mountaintop, no one dared to speak.
The bell rang, and a golden light enveloped the steps leading to the mountainside. Two figures, using light footwork, descended from the treetops on either side of the steps. Soon they arrived at a high platform at the foot of the mountain.
Ya Fei surveyed the million-strong crowd before her, her heart pounding with excitement. She secretly sighed, realizing only her Young Master Ye possessed such allure. "Today will be the final day of this quest for the Dao."
"What? The last day?"
"What should I do? If I can't pass the test today, won't I miss the chance to meet the Chaos Saint?"
"Am I destined to never become a Dou Zhe?"
As Ya Fei finished speaking, some excited people couldn't help but start discussing among themselves.
Qing Lin pointed at the people who were talking, revealing a section of her fair wrist covered in snake scales.
"Half-Snake Person?"
Queen Medusa murmured softly.
"Master, she is the Half-Snake Person maidservant of the Chaos Saint. It is said that with the help of the Chaos Saint, she awakened an eye even more powerful than the Azure Eye Three Flower Pupils."
"Azure Eye Three Flower Pupils?"
Queen Medusa stared at Qing Lin with a hint of hostility and a chilling killing intent in her eyes.
Azure Eye Three Flower Pupils: The most extraordinary pupil in the Number One Under Heaven, appearing only in the descendants of humans and snake people. This pupil is the nemesis of all snake-like magical beasts; it can be forcibly controlled, except for a very few snake-like magical beasts with pure ancient bloodlines. It cannot control humans or other magical beasts, but it can draw out their souls and seize control of their bodies.
Queen Medusa is a snake-woman and can also be controlled by the Azure Eye Three Flower Pupils.
"You... you... you... and you... leave this place. I hereby declare that all four of you are disqualified from participating in today's assessment." Qing Lin pointed at the four people.
Even though the four people knew Qing Lin was a Half-Snake Person, they still dared not show any dissatisfaction towards her. Someone had once mocked Qing Lin for this, and as a result, the Chaos Saint intervened. All those who had mocked Qing Lin were instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist, none surviving.
From then on, no one dared to mock Qing Lin for being a Half-Snake Person.
After the four noisy people left, Ya Fei continued, "The final test is very simple. You only need to pass through the Chaos Light, climb the steps, and meet the Chaos Saint. Then, the Chaos Saint will grant your wishes. This test will last for six months. It's an examination."
As Ya Fei's voice faded, the million-strong crowd, who had been waiting patiently, surged into the Chaos Light. Just as the first group was about to step onto the first step, the Chaos Light suddenly blazed, blasting them aside and knocking down those behind them.
Those in front fell, and those behind surged forward like a tidal wave, trampling over the fallen. Just as they were about to step onto the first step, a strange force bounced them back, causing them to fall again.
This continued for a full minute. The resulting stampede killed over a thousand people.
"Sister Ya Fei, shouldn't we help them?" Qing Lin asked with pity.
"Young Master Ye said that opportunity and danger go hand in hand. If they want to gain opportunities from Young Master Ye, they should be prepared to take corresponding risks. Let's go up, lest Young Master Ye keep us waiting," Ya Fei said.
Ya Fei and Qing Lin left, but Queen Medusa, sitting inside the carriage, did not move.
"Master, that golden light seems to bounce back automatically?" Hua She Er analyzed.
"Indeed, it can automatically deflect physical attacks." Queen Medusa saw through the secret of the Chaos Light. The reason why ordinary people couldn't step onto the stairs was because they were physically deflected by the Chaos Light. Queen Medusa looked at the Chaos Light and murmured, "I just wonder if it can deflect battle aura attacks."
Queen Medusa flicked her finger, and an energy arrow shot towards the Chaos Light in front of her.
With a thud, the energy arrow struck the Chaos Light, but instead of bouncing off at an angle like light hitting water, it shot back the way it came towards Queen Medusa.
The energy arrow pierced the carriage curtain. Queen Medusa tilted her head, narrowly avoiding the rebound of her own attack.
"What a strange light barrier, it actually reflects attacks consciously. This Chaos Saint is quite interesting. It seems that the Chaos Light can reflect all physical and energy attacks. If I want to climb the steps, I can only do so honestly, one step at a time." Queen Medusa analyzed, admiring Ye Feng's strength in her heart.
"Queen, shall we give it a try?" Hua She Er asked.
"Of course, since we're already here, how can we be satisfied if we don't give it a try?" Queen Medusa looked up at the villa on the mountain with expectant eyes and said, "As long as I see him, I will have a chance to evolve and break through to the Dou Zong realm."
