Thunder Fire Trial

On the platform, Wang Ziang said indifferently, "The total score for the Flowing Light Trial is 200 points. Those with scores below 120 points will be eliminated!"

After he spoke.

On the large screen, the names of thirty trial participants dimmed.

"Another 30 people eliminated!"

"There are less than 40 people left."

Jiang Ye looked around, thinking to himself that the school's trials were indeed not simple.

If so many people were eliminated in the final trial, then less than 10 people would pass this trial.

This was only the lowest level trial, and the pass rate was frighteningly low.

"Thunder Fire Trial, I wonder what form this trial will take?" Jiang Ye looked forward to it in his heart.

The previous two trials were virtual, but the Thunder Fire Trial would be conducted in reality.

Wang Ziang had also said before that the longer one persisted in the Thunder Fire Trial, the more benefits they would gain.

Clearly, this trial was extraordinary.

The other surviving trial participants also craned their necks in anticipation.

Just then.

Wang Ziang said indifferently, "The final trial, the Thunder Fire Trial!"

He pressed a button on the wall.

The next moment.

The virtual cockpits beneath everyone's bodies sank into the ground.

"Rumble!" Metal walls rose from all directions, enclosing the entire hall.

These metal walls also had metal nozzles, densely packed, numbering in the hundreds, all aimed at the trial participants in the center.

Seeing this scene, everyone's scalp tingled.

"The Thunder Fire Trial, it's not really going to bake us with lightning and fire, is it?"

Jiang Ye was also a little horrified. Wouldn't that be too exaggerated?

Just as everyone was feeling nervous and uneasy.

Buzz!

From the hundreds of metal nozzles, a stream of dense gas was sprayed out in unison.

This gas was a faint purplish-red and, the moment it appeared, it actively drilled into the pores of all the trial participants.

Wang Ziang introduced:

"This gas contains a trace of Starry Sky Energy with lightning and fire attributes, which can temper your bodies."

"The longer you persist, the more benefits you will gain."

"Of course, this process will be very painful!"

Wang Ziang revealed a malicious smile: "For those whose Star Martial Cultivation Method has not reached perfection, this pain will be super doubled."

No need for him to say it.

Everyone present could already feel it.

There were no students whose cultivation methods were perfect in this trial.

As the purplish-red gas drilled into his pores, Jiang Ye immediately felt a wave of intense pain.

The sensation was as if countless scorching ants were biting at every cell in his body, constantly salting the wounds.

At this moment, some students were already wailing.

"Mom!"

A student screamed, unable to bear the pain.

Wang Ziang said indifferently, "If you cannot bear it, you can press the button beside you at any time to immediately withdraw from the trial."

"But"

"You must persist for more than fifteen minutes to be considered to have passed the trial."

"Persist for more than an hour to get full marks!"

His words sent everyone into an ice cellar.

This pain, and they still had to endure it for fifteen minutes?

But everyone gritted their teeth and persisted, no one pressing the exit button.

After finally reaching the third stage, how could they give up so easily?

For a time, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone was gritting their teeth and enduring.

Jiang Ye's expression was calm. Perhaps due to his strong Martial Arts will, the level of pain was still within his tolerance.

Not far away, Zeng Xueqing, Xu Lei, and others also had calm expressions.

They were close to perfecting their cultivation methods, so the pain they experienced was lighter than others.

And next to Jiang Ye.

Li Zhichao's persistence in taking medication over the past six months was now showing its benefits. Having endured the torment of the medicinal agents, his tolerance was higher than others.

Only Lin Xuan's face looked extremely grim.

After all, he was still a first-year student, and his cultivation method had only recently broken through to Great Accomplishment.

The pain he endured was far greater than others.

"Hold on! I absolutely cannot lose to Chaozi!" Lin Xuan gritted his teeth tightly.

Time continued to pass.

Five minutes, ten minutes.

Finally, someone could no longer bear the pain and pressed the exit button.

The next moment, the ground where that person was located sank directly, sending him out of the trial grounds.

On the large screen in front, the remaining number of people was constantly refreshing.

[Remaining: 39 people, 38 people, 37 people.]

Finally, time reached fifteen minutes.

Most of the trial participants breathed a sigh of relief and quickly exited the trial.

They had passed the trial!

As long as they didn't aim for the top three, there was no need to continue staying.

Soon, fewer than ten people remained in the hall.

"If it's just this level of pain..."

A hint of madness flickered in Lin Xuan's eyes: "Then I might be able to persist for an hour!"

As a top student of Ancheng First Middle School.

His Martial Arts will was indeed very strong.

Now, he had gradually adapted to the pain!

He had even found a subtle sense of pleasure within the endless pain, immersing himself and enjoying it.

But just as Lin Xuan was planning to continue enduring, On the platform.

Wang Ziang suddenly revealed a sinister smile, then pressed a button.

"Boom!"

The next moment, in the trial grounds.

The hundreds of metal spray nozzles suddenly spewed out a purplish-red gas several times more concentrated than before!

The sharp increase in gas concentration brought even more terrifying pain.

"Ahhh!"

Lin Xuan finally couldn't bear it any longer, letting out beast-like roars.

Even Jiang Ye was struggling to maintain composure. If the previous pain was like sprinkling salt on a wound, Then now, it was like spraying strong alcohol and chili oil on a wound!

This feeling was simply terrifying!

Not far away, Zeng Xueqing, Xu Lei, and the other second-year Key Class students also had distorted expressions.

Even Zeng Xueqing, who was closest to perfecting her cultivation method, felt like she could barely hold on.

"Every fifteen minutes, the difficulty of the trial will increase by one level."

Wang Ziang said with a smile: "Good luck to everyone!"

These words were like a devil's whisper, causing everyone's expressions to change.

One level every fifteen minutes?

This meant that in another fifteen minutes, the pain would intensify again?

"Hold on!"

Jiang Ye took a deep breath. He could still barely endure this level of pain.

But could he endure the next fifteen minutes? He was also uncertain.

However, he had to get through the current stage.

On the other side, Lin Xuan's face was already extremely grim.

He was the only first-year student among this group.

The deficiency in his realm meant he had to endure pain many times greater.

"Damn it, is this really my limit?"

"Am I really going to lose to Chaozi, to the ordinary class?"

Lin Xuan's body trembled, and he roared in his heart, "Hold on, you bastard!"

Time continued to flow.

Gradually, amidst even more intense pain, Lin Xuan found that familiar pleasure once again.

He held on!

In the blink of an eye, this trial had lasted half an hour.

At this point, only five people remained in the arena.

Jiang Ye, Zeng Xueqing, Xu Lei, Li Zhichao, Lin Xuan.

On the platform, Wang Ziang smiled slightly and said, "Phase three, commence!"

BOOM!

In the trial grounds, the hundreds of metal spray nozzles erupted once more, releasing an even denser purple-red gas.

With the arrival of the third phase, the five people present immediately felt unprecedented pressure.

But surprisingly, the first to be eliminated was not Lin Xuan.

It was Li Zhichao.

After seeing Li Zhichao eliminated, Lin Xuan felt as if a great weight had been lifted, and he followed suit, ending his trial.

Only three people remained in the arena, still struggling to hold on.

Zeng Xueqing, Xu Lei, Jiang Ye.

The top three had been decided!

But who would claim the first place? It would soon become clear.
