Rumble!
The towering lava waterfall bore down like black clouds blotting out the sky, blocking the path of Mu Chen and the other four.
The five of them looked as insignificant as ants beneath the waterfall.
After a brief hesitation, Mu Chen was the first to move.
A wave of deep crimson Spiritual Power swept out from within him as he charged directly toward the lava waterfall amid the deafening uproar.
Countless gazes from the surrounding peaks clearly witnessed this scene.
In the eyes of many, such an act was no different from courting death.
Yet Lin Suchou, standing atop the Mountain Peak, had a tremor in his eyes.
This powerful Spiritual Power...
Lin Suchou took a deep breath, then broke into a bitter smile.
The child of fortune was still the child of fortune. Even without Jiu You, he had actually contracted another powerful Spirit Beast.
Wen Qingxuan also sensed the presence within Mu Chen at this moment. She exchanged a glance with Lin Suchou, and both were astonished.
Splash.
Mu Chen's body soon plunged into the Fire Curtain, but the deep crimson flames covering his body seemed even stronger than the Fire Curtain itself. He arrived at the Mountain Peak completely unscathed.
"Brother Mu, it seems your opportunities have been considerable as well."
Lin Suchou clasped his fists toward him and said with a sigh.
"Just luck. Compared to Brother Lin, I'm still far from enough."
Mu Chen smiled and waved his hand, though confidence shone through him.
When he had gone to train in the Northern Spiritual Plains of the Northern Spiritual Realm, he had unexpectedly encountered a heavily injured Kirin cub!
After he saved it, the Kirin cub had actually chosen to form a bloodline connection with him...
Seeing this, Lin Suchou said nothing further and turned his gaze back beyond the Fire Curtain.
Mu Kui chose to throw a punch. Surging Spiritual Power transformed into a giant golden fist that blasted against the fiery waterfall before him.
Bing Qing's ice-blue hair deepened in color as astonishing cold air spread out, forming a suit of ice armor over her delicate body.
She then charged into the fire waterfall.
After displaying their Divine Abilities, the two of them also safely arrived at the Mountain Peak.
Yang Hong, the last remaining one, erupted with immense Spiritual Power, which vaguely formed into a dazzling Flood Dragon.
Roar!
The Flood Dragon let out a long roar, extending its sharp claws to tear open a gap in the fire waterfall.
Just as his head passed through the fire waterfall, Lin Suchou's lips curled upward.
With a flick of his finger, a ball of purple flame shot toward him.
Caught off guard, Yang Hong chose to swing his Dragon Claw and meet it head-on.
Yet when the fireball struck his Dragon Claw, not only did he fail to tear it apart, it exploded instead.
Bang!
The tremendous impact spread outward, sending his body flying backward.
After flying several dozen zhang and stabilizing himself, his eyes abruptly turned cold. "Lin Suchou, are you really going to kick a man when he's down!?"
"Hehe, weren't you planning to block my way in the Spirit Road back then? Now that our positions have switched, you know how unpleasant it feels, don't you?"
Lin Suchou rose into the air with a smile. Using the Luo Shen Robe to suppress his cultivation, he revealed the strength of the mid-Heaven Fusion Realm.
He did not merely want to kill Yang Hong. He wanted to crush his spirit as well!
"So confident... Do you think I'm only at the early Heaven Fusion Realm!?"
A mocking smile appeared at Yang Hong's lips as he slowly took a step forward.
An astonishing cultivation aura emerged from his body.
His robes flapped wildly as Spiritual Power gathered beneath his palms into a torrent. He had also reached the mid-Heaven Fusion Realm!
"So he had hidden his cultivation!"
Countless people on the surrounding peaks exclaimed once more.
This batch of new students was truly formidable, whether in talent or scheming.
"Hehe, now that our cultivation levels are equal, let's see what you'll use to fight me!"
"Heaven Breaking Spirit Halberd!"
Yang Hong suddenly clenched his hand. A cyan torrent howled as it transformed in the sky into a Cyan Light Giant Halberd dozens of zhang long.
"Go!"
Yang Hong flicked his finger, and the Cyan Light Giant Halberd shot forth. It swiftly pierced through the Fire Curtain and flew toward Lin Suchou.
"Goddess Luo's Flying Flowers!"
Lin Suchou unhurriedly drew the Shou Luo Sword. Spiritual Power covered it as he swung his sword forward.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Brilliant flower petals filled the sky, flying forth with the sword light and drifting down from above. Illuminated by purple flames, they were both enchanting and beautiful.
Yet when those seemingly harmless petals landed upon the Cyan Light Giant Halberd, explosions rang out.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bombarded in succession, the Cyan Light Giant Halberd instantly vanished into nothingness.
The next instant, a perilous sword strike suddenly flashed out from among the petals, shooting straight for Yang Hong's chest.
"Heaven Breaking Spirit Jade Hand!"
Yang Hong recovered from his shock in an instant. Emerald Spiritual Power covered his right hand, making it crystalline like jade.
He directly blasted out a gigantic palm of Spiritual Power.
It intercepted the sword light before it could reach his chest.
Bang!
Although he barely blocked the sword strike, the purple flames attached to it continued to burn his Spiritual Power.
"What kind of flames are these!?"
Yang Hong was shocked and enraged.
Feeling the threat of death, he gritted his teeth. The clothes on his body turned to powder as cyan light swept out in all directions.
Roar!
Accompanied by a violent dragon roar that resounded between heaven and earth, Yang Hong's body gradually disappeared. In its place was a Jade Green Giant Dragon coiling through the sky.
Tiger stripes spread across its cyan Dragon Scales. Its head was not that of a dragon, but a ferocious tiger's head.
"That is..."
Countless gazes converged upon the cyan giant dragon, their expressions grave.
"The Ancient Tiger Flood Dragon, ranked fiftieth on the Earth Ranking!?"
The cyan giant dragon radiated an oppressive might. With one swipe of its Dragon Claw, it extinguished the incoming purple flames.
"Hehe, Lin Suchou, this time... I won't repeat my mistakes!"
The Tiger Flood Dragon coiled through the sky, its ferocious tiger maw releasing mocking laughter.
Thud.
With a leap, the Tiger Flood Dragon easily passed through the fiery waterfall.
"Get down this mountain!"
The Tiger Flood Dragon clenched its Dragon Claw, and violent winds suddenly rose between heaven and earth as thunder rumbled in bursts.
It seemed to be clutching a Cyan Blazing Sun within that Dragon Claw. The enormous claw tore through the sky and slammed down toward Lin Suchou's head!
Lin Suchou had Luo Li and the other woman retreat. He raised his head without fear, a mocking curve lifting at his lips.
"Hehe, do you also think... that I'm only at the late Heaven Fusion Realm?"
As his words fell, his aura surged step by step, directly reaching the mid-Huatian Realm!
"Goddess Luo's World-Shaking Strike!"
This attack contained more than half his power. Blazing purple flames erupted from the Shou Luo Sword.
He then stepped forward, gripping the sword with both hands and furiously cleaving down at the Tiger Flood Dragon's right claw!
Bang! Bang!
The sword light and Dragon Claw collided fiercely.
Violent Spiritual Power rippled across the mountaintop in waves, blowing dust dozens of zhang into the air and destroying every tree.
Bang.
With another explosion, the Ancient Tiger Flood Dragon formed by Yang Hong was sent flying backward, skidding dozens of zhang across the ground.
Only after crashing into a cluster of massive rocks and crushing them apart did he return to human form.
An uproar broke out.
Everyone stared at this latest turn of events in shock.
They had not expected Yang Hong to be the only one hiding his strength!
"Lin Suchou, don't get too pleased with yourself. There are still the two of us!"
Just as Lin Suchou withdrew his gaze, a shout suddenly rang out from below the mountain.
"There are more experts!?"
As Lin Suchou looked on in surprise, he saw two identical youths arrive outside the Fire Curtain and help Yang Hong up.
They were the Shi Family Brothers from the Spirit Road!
