Azure Blood Vital Energy
"Chu Cai has passed."
Seeing Chu Cai's appearance, many people had mixed feelings. His shoulder had been pierced with a bloody hole, and he had only managed to get through it with difficulty thanks to the secret techniques of the Beast Taming Sect. Now, Chu Cai was covered in blood, his face was pale, and his arms were trembling. This was a far cry from Chu Cai's previous spirited and commanding demeanor.
Chu Cai himself seemed to have suffered a great blow. He just sat on the opposite bank of the Guangqiao Bridge, completely silent.
"Chu Cai didn't need to be so badly injured, but he insisted on attacking that Ancient Savage Beast, overestimating his own abilities!"
As the Leopard Girl spoke, she also jumped onto the bridge of light, which was already littered with the corpses of crows.
Facing the Ancient Savage Beast, the Leopard Girl did not let her guard down, even though her greatest strengths were speed and surprise attacks.
"Roar!"
Ancient Savage Beast charged straight at them, but the Leopard Girl's body vanished in an instant!
"Snap!"
A strong gust of wind swept in, and the Leopard Girl twisted her body forcefully in mid-air, narrowly avoiding the Ancient Savage Beast's attack!
The Leopard Girl landed with her long hair disheveled, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes, truly like a wild beast.
"Roar!"
The Ancient Savage Beast pounced again, opening its third eye.
This mysterious third eye grants Ancient Savage Beast a boost in speed and strength. The Leopard Girl's pupils contracted, becoming spindle-shaped like a cat's. Her body crackled and popped as eerie tattoos appeared. Fine fur grew on her face and hands, Leopard Girl back arched, her arms grew longer, and she ended up sprawling on the ground. Her Leopard Girl nails transformed into sharp claws.
"Beast transformation!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise, "The name 'Leopard Girl' isn't just a random name; she comes from the Totem Secret Clan of the Tianyuan Realm."
The Totem Secret Clan possesses a unique bloodline. By combining this with certain racial secret techniques, they can alter their physical form, transforming themselves into something resembling Fierce Beasts and unleashing their physical potential.
The Leopard Girl is now using this method; in her Fierce Beasts form, her speed and reaction speed increase dramatically!
"Snap!"
A beam of light shot out from the Ancient Savage Beast's third eye, grazing the Leopard Girl's arm. Although she dodged the beam, the energy it generated still caused her to groan in pain, and a wound immediately appeared on her arm, from which blood seeped out.
"I never imagined that this Ancient Savage Beast could still injure the Leopard Girl in its beast form!"
"This is terrifying!"
The Leopard Girl's speed was already astonishing, but it was still no match for the Ancient Savage Beast.
The Leopard Girl herself looked embarrassed and annoyed. She had originally wanted to pass through without taking any damage, but now it seemed that this was simply too difficult to achieve!
After suffering some minor abrasions, the Leopard Girl barely managed to hold on. Although she pushed her speed and reaction abilities to the limit, several shallow wounds still appeared on her body after An Incense Stick.
Although the Leopard Girl didn't look as disheveled as Chu Cai, and her injuries were mostly scratches, her slightly pale face after reverting to her beast form, along with her constant light panting, clearly indicated that she wasn't in much better shape.
This left everyone feeling heavy-hearted; the very first hurdle was already so difficult!
Lin Yu's expression also turned sour. He had initially been secretly pleased when he saw that this challenge involved dealing with wild beasts, but now he felt immense pressure.
However, compared to the other disciples, he was still somewhat confident, since he usually focused on practical combat and had fought countless wild beasts, accumulating rich experience.
Lin Yu scanned the faces of the people around him one by one, and he noticed that Lin Xiaodie and Lin Fengyue, among others, did not seem to be in a relaxed mood.
We're all the same!
Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw Yi Yun's expression, Lin Yu was stunned.
Yi Yun was staring intently at the Ancient Savage Beast, his expression deep, as if he were deep in thought.
Why does this kid have that expression?
Lin Yu found it strange. He thought that Yi Yun should have given up hope long ago given the difficulty of the task. Others could survive if they failed, but he would die if he failed.
"Is this kid scared out of his wits? Forget it, I don't care what he does, I'll get through this test first."
With that thought in mind, Lin Yu steeled his resolve and stepped onto the bridge of light.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Yu, including Lin Xiaodie, who was holding the Imprint Array Disk.
Lin Yu straightened up, looked at the Imprint Array Disk in Lin Xiaodie's hand, and clenched his fist.
When the selection of the Empress Secret Realm was decided that day, he was publicly rejected by Old Madam Lin, who didn't even give him a chance to speak, which dealt a heavy blow to his self-esteem.
This time, he's determined to avenge himself!
The Imprint Array Disk in Lin Xiaodie's hand will record his progress. He wants to show Old Madam Lin how wrong her choice was!
Thinking of all this, he subconsciously glanced at Yi Yun, the one who had caused him that humiliation.
Yes, the person chosen by the Old Madam is doomed. Lin Xiaodie will record his death. So what if he is favored by the Old Madam? Without strength, coming to the Empress Secret Realm is just courting death. By the time he is killed, I will already be standing on the other side of the Bridge of Light!
Thinking this, Lin Yu turned to face the Ancient Savage Beast.
"Roar!"
The roar of the ancient beast sent chills down Lin Yu's spine. The pressure of being so close to this Ancient Savage Beast was simply too much!
As the wild beast pounced, Lin Yu's face flushed and his eyes gleamed. He leaped up and dodged the attack!
"Boom!"
The light bridge trembled violently. Lin Yu was completely focused and relied on his accumulated experience to barely survive the attacks of the Ancient Savage Beast. Every dodge was extremely dangerous, and the slightest opening would result in serious injury.
"Hmm? This kid from the Lin family isn't bad." Someone in the crowd said. After all, the Lin family is a first-rate Lineage, so Lin Yu's performance is actually normal.
As people were talking, the Ancient Savage Beast opened its third eye, and the pressure on Lin Yu suddenly increased dramatically!
"It's over, he won't make it!"
"To have survived this long with such a small cost, they're not too weak."
Hearing the whispers of those people, a cold smile appeared on Lin Yu's lips. He had practiced so diligently for so long; surely this was more than he could achieve?
As the beam of light from the wild beast struck, an abnormal flush appeared on Lin Yu's face. This flush spread down his neck and all the way to Lin Yu's entire body, and even the area around his body was covered with a faint bloody glow!
"Hmm? This is... Azure Blood Vital Energy!?"
On the Lin family's side, both Lin Xiaodie and Lin Fengyue were somewhat surprised.
In the transmission of martial arts, some techniques can cultivate a special kind of energy corresponding to that technique. Azure Blood Vital Energy is one such example.
The Azure Blood Vital Energy is very difficult to cultivate, and even after it is cultivated, there are some limitations in its use, because using it will deplete one's vital energy and blood, which is harmful to the body.
But correspondingly, it is extremely powerful!
Now, given Lin Yu's current strength, using the Azure Blood Vital Energy will most likely leave him with hidden injuries!
"This Lin Yu is really going all out!"
Lin Fengyue shook his head slightly. This was just an introductory trial. Even if he passed it, he might not get any substantial benefits. At most, he would just gain more knowledge and experience.
Every trial participant entering the Empress Secret Realm must weigh whether the price they pay is worthwhile.
As the time for the An Incense Stick drew ever closer, Lin Yu struggled and shifted, his face already consumed by blood, yet he still gritted his teeth and persevered.
"Snap!"
Another beam of light shot out from the third eye of the Ancient Savage Beast. Lin Yu tried his best, but he still couldn't completely dodge the attack. His thigh muscles were torn apart by the beam of light, and blood flowed freely!
Lin Yu groaned, his forehead and neck bulging with veins that looked like they were about to burst.
He has reached the absolute limit.
"Roar!"
The Ancient Savage Beast gave Lin Yu no chance to catch his breath, following closely behind and slamming down with its claw!
"Boom!"
This claw strike distorted the light on the ground, and the powerful impact sent Lin Yu flying. He crashed heavily against the light barrier, coughing up blood.
Lin Yu was not able to completely dodge the Ancient Savage Beast's attack; he felt as if his body was almost shattered.
However, just when he thought he couldn't hold on any longer, the Ancient Savage Beast suddenly stopped.
It stared at Lin Yu with chilling eyes, but did not rush forward again.
Because at this point, the time An Incense Stick has elapsed!
