Coldness

On the bridge of light, facing the amber eyes of the Ancient Savage Beast, the short, chubby boy's eyes blazed with fierce fighting spirit.

This trial has truly been very beneficial!

Putting aside the opportunities within this secret realm, simply witnessing the ancient secret realm and broadening his horizons would greatly benefit his growth.

Even if he were eliminated soon, it wouldn't matter, because he was grouped with that unlucky guy Yi Yun.

After being eliminated, since the protective power of the secret realm on his body had also disappeared, he no longer needed to worry about what punishment he would receive for attacking Yi Yun. He could kill Yi Yun, who was destined to be eliminated, and obtain the bounty offered by the Shentu Family.

That was a substantial income. For the short, chubby boy from the Xu Family, whose Lineage power was far inferior to that of the Shentu Family, the bounty offered by Shentu Nantian was very tempting!

Thinking of this, the short, chubby boy glanced at Yi Yun out of the corner of his eye, a hint of greed and ferocity flashing in his eyes.

Noticing the boy's gaze, Yi Yun rubbed his temples, feeling a real headache. It seemed that, apart from the Lin family members who were unlikely to take Shentu Nantian's bounty, almost everyone else had designs on him.

Indeed, as a Savage Heaven Master, he was practically a piece of fatty meat delivered right to one's mouth; who wouldn't want to take a bite?

"Roar!"

Just then, the beast roared and its claws came crashing down on the short, fat boy!

This simple strike left a blurry afterimage on the beast's claws.

Fast! Too fast!

The short, chubby boy remained focused, keeping a close eye on the beast's every move. As the beast pounced, his plump body bounced up like a ball!

Whoosh!

The short, chubby boy dashed to one side, giving the impression that he experienced almost no acceleration; his speed reached its limit instantly, defying the laws of human perception.

"It's the Xu Family's inherited movement Movement Technique —'Nine Heavens Rope '."

Someone in the crowd said.

Although the Xu Family is not a first-rate Lineage, the "Nine Heavens Rope" can be considered a first-rate movement Movement Technique in the Tianyuan Realm. Even when one is in the Origin Foundation Realm and cannot fly with their physical body, the person who masters this Movement Technique can still fly into the nine heavens with just this movement Movement Technique, as if there is an invisible rope for them to climb. This is how the Nine Heavens Rope got its name.

The short, chubby boy with the Nine Heavens Rope, though not particularly large, was incredibly fast. He darted haphazardly across the light bridge, dodging seven or eight attacks from the wild beast in succession, finally getting past it and rushing to the other side of the light bridge!

Cross the river and reach the other side!

The short, chubby boy's eyes shone brightly. This first round of assessment was perfect for him. His combat strength might be slightly lacking, but he was absolutely confident in his Movement Technique.

He already sensed that victory was within reach!

However, just as he was about to cross the bridge of light, he clearly felt a strong resistance that caused his speed to decrease sharply!

Um?

The short, chubby boy was startled. The other end of the bridge of light seemed to have a hidden secret, as it didn't seem to last for the time it takes for An Incense Stick, making it impossible to cross.

Sensing a gust of wind behind him, the short, chubby boy knew it was the Ancient Savage Beast attacking. Without even looking, he twisted his body in mid-air and flew straight off in another direction!

Changing course in mid-air is a skill that requires a high level of Subtle Movement and mastery.

The Subtle Movement Technique focuses more on the control of the body and does not contain any laws. It is considered a refined skill in the low-level martial arts world, but it is nothing special in the high-level martial arts world where laws are the main focus.

In the Tianyuan Realm, the Subtle Movement Technique is really nothing to boast about.

But just as the short, chubby boy was turning in mid-air, the Ancient Savage Beast behind him suddenly roared. A crack appeared on its forehead, from which black light shone. It seemed to be the Ancient Savage Beast's third eye!

Huh? What's this!?

Before people could react, they only saw a streak of energy flash by, and the beast caught up with the short, stout boy at an incredible speed, striking down with its claw!

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the short, chubby boy screamed in agony as he was slapped away by the beast like a ball. The sound of bones breaking could be clearly heard.

The short, chubby boy crashed heavily to the ground, his entire right arm severed by the beast's claws!

His arm was broken, and not only that, his right ribs and sternum were also completely shattered, with blood gushing out like water!

"Ah... ah..." the short, fat boy groaned in pain, his chubby face completely pale, the fat on his face trembling incessantly.

"It hurts... it hurts..."

After all, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old. Even if he was a martial artist who had experienced many trials, the visual impact of suddenly seeing his arm being severed off, revealing the white bone with a small piece of marrow inside, was something that an ordinary teenager could not bear.

These are his own hands.

Seeing the short, chubby boy like this, everyone was secretly alarmed. This Empress Secret Realm was an extremely brutal trial. It was not a place to pick up opportunities for free. One wrong move and someone would die!

For example, if the Ancient Savage Beast's claw had struck the short, fat boy's head instead of his right arm, he would probably be dead!

"Help... help me..." the short, chubby boy wailed, but the reactions of those around him were rather indifferent.

Having arrived at this Empress Secret Realm, they are all competitors. Moreover, the relationships between these powerful Lineage are already very tense. In reality, they often have various frictions. If it weren't for the fear that the two strong forces would be at the mercy of others who would take advantage of the situation, then some of their Lineage would have already started fighting over resources.

In this context, within the Empress Secret Realm, where opportunities abound, it would be perfectly normal for these juniors to fight each other.

Many times, it's good enough if you don't kick someone when they're down.

As a small Lineage, the Xu Family only had three younger members this time. Because of their different ages, they weren't together, and the short, chubby boy had no companions.

According to the rules of the Empress Secret Realm, once a person is eliminated, they must wait until the end of this round of testing before they can leave the Secret Realm.

During this time, he had no protection and could only wait. But with such severe injuries, waiting for at least half an hour was incredibly painful.

"Tsk tsk, how pitiful."

Lin Xiaodie was still recording with her Imprint Array Disk. Although she said that, she didn't really mean much pity. She just did a good deed by kicking the fat man's severed hand.

As for Yi Yun, he watched all of this indifferently. He knew very well that if he failed, his fate would be even worse than the fat man's. He wouldn't even have the chance to wait; he might be torn to pieces! And the fat man was probably one of the ones who made the move.

The fat man picked up his severed hand with trembling hands and swallowed a pill. He was in extreme fear and pain, and he didn't know if his severed hand could be reattached in an hour.
