Hearing that Kirin Yun and the others had indeed joined forces to erase the memories of those Order Divine Artifacts that had spied on them in the Yellow Realm, just as he had guessed, Ling Tian breathed a sigh of relief. After Xi Yue and the others left, they began recovering, preparing to face the second trial.
"Brother Tian, this trial is much more complicated than we imagined. If the first one was already like that, the second one will probably be the same, right?" Lian Yue said, a hint of anticipation in her voice. "Hehe, the next trial is being overseen by people from the Earth Realm. From your analysis, it'll probably involve Lightning Power. Those of us have quite a few advantages, too. At the very least, our resistance to lightning improved a lot after Thundercloud Gorge."
Ling Tian nodded. "Auntie and the others said that these trials aren't necessarily passed by those with the highest cultivation. They test talent and potential. The next one will probably be the same, so everyone should be careful."
"Hehe, quite a few of those Veteran Near-Gods were eliminated. They're extremely disgruntled now, but the bigwigs from the various realms won't pay them any mind." Tan Tai Chang Feng let out a strange laugh. Then, thinking of something, he turned to Ling Tian, his tone shifting. "But those people will definitely issue challenges after the top five are chosen. Brother Ling, you'll still run into them then."
"It doesn't matter. Those people will have to defeat five opponents in a row to be recommended as members of the Heaven's Might Organization, and that won't conflict with the five who compete to keep their reserved places." Ling Tian was unconcerned, though inwardly he thought, It won't be that easy to defeat those five.
