On the seventh day after leaving seclusion, the order from Elder Garvey arrived.
It was not an ordinary summons, but was personally escorted by three Highgod wearing cyan Elder Hall guard uniforms, holding a golden token engraved with Azure Dragon pattern. The leader was a middle-aged man. The breath was condensed, integrating at least three mysteries, which was the peak combat power of Six-Star Fiend. When they stepped into Azure Rock Valley, even the wind flowing in the air seemed to be a little stagnant, with an unquestionable majesty.
"Sir Lin Qin, elder Garvey please move to Dragon-Patterned Battle Platform".
As soon as the four words "Dragon-Patterned Battle Platform" came out, Azure Rock Valley was instantly quiet. All the tribesmen stopped moving and looked here. Kano, who was teaching the children to practice basic knife skills, paused in the air with the wooden knife in his hand; Several warriors who were tempering their weapons by the stream also raised their heads, with shock and awe mixed in their eyes. Dragon-Patterned Battle Platform, that is a place where major disputes are resolved within the family, or where the highest level of strength certification is conducted. Ordinary tribesmen may not be able to witness it once in their lives.
Hogson walked out of the stone house quickly with a solemn expression and lowered his voice. "Dragon-Patterned Battle Platform----That's the place where the elders take the exam. Lin Qin, you just came out of seclusion. Garvey Elder, this is----"
"It's okay." Lin Qin interrupted him, his expression calm and calm, as if he was just invited to have an ordinary discussion. He nodded slightly to the three guard members with sharp auras, "Lead the way."
The four of them left Azure Rock Valley and walked deeper into the mountains along the wide Dragon Path. This time, they were not walking towards the Elder Hall that leads to daily affairs, but turned to the west and passed through a year-round area. A deep canyon shrouded in clouds and mist, with towering ancient trees. The deeper you go, the more solemn the surrounding environment becomes. Even the sounds of birds and animals gradually disappear, leaving only the echo of footsteps on the hard rocks. After about a stick of incense, the vision suddenly opens up, and a huge circular platform comes into view.
The platform is thousands of feet in diameter, and the entire body is made of blue-black "Dragon-Patterned Stone". This stone is a specialty of the Azure Dragon Clan territory. It is extremely hard. The layers of naturally formed lines on the stone surface are like the toughest scales on a giant dragon, glowing with a cold luster under the skylight that penetrates the clouds. On the edge of the platform, nine thick stone pillars that require several people to embrace stand tall. On the top of each pillar is a lifelike statue of Azure Dragon. The dragon's head is raised to the sky, and the dragon's eyes are inlaid with blue crystals the size of pigeon eggs. Although it is not activated at the moment, it is already emitting a halo, faintly echoing the dragon pattern on the platform.
In the center of the platform, White-Browed Elder Garvey is already standing there waiting.
Today, he is not wearing the elder's robe that symbolizes authority. Instead, he is wearing a neat blue outfit with a python belt around his waist, which makes him look even more powerful. A simple long sword hangs at his waist. The scabbard has no decoration, but it has a calm momentum of its own.
Seeing the arrival of Lin Qin, he nodded slightly and his eyes swept over Lin Qin like a real person. "Here he comes."
"Elder." Lin Qin bowed and saluted.
"No need to be too polite." Garvey raised his hand to help, and got straight to the point, "I heard that you have been in seclusion for many years, and Earth Element the four mysteries have been perfectly integrated?"
"Yes." Lin Qin's answer was brief and powerful.
"Okay." Garvey's eyes flashed with an unconcealed admiration, and then turned solemn, "Lin Qin, according to the rules of family inheritance, those who have reached Seven-Star Fiend's strength, after passing the assessment of Council of Elders's core members, can be promoted to family elders, enjoy a distinguished position, and assume important responsibilities. I am here today to verify your strength and whether you have really crossed that threshold."
Lin Qin's expression remained calm. "How to verify?"
"Fight with me with all your strength." Garvey slowly drew out the long sword from his waist. The sword was unsheathed, and it chirped without the wind, emitting a clear sound Dragon Roar. The sword was not dazzling, but a green mist, as if holding a deep pool of water. "This battle is not limited to means, only victory or defeat. You can let it go."
As soon as he finished speaking, as if he sensed the fighting spirit, the cyan crystals in the dragon eyes of the Azure Dragon statue on the top of the nine stone pillars around the platform suddenly lit up! Nine cyan light pillars as thick as a bucket rose into the sky. They did not shoot directly into the sky, but curved and intertwined dozens of feet above the platform, forming a huge hemispherical transparent barrier in the blink of an eye. The entire Qianzhang platform is tightly covered. The barrier light film flows, and the dragon-shaped shadow can be vaguely seen swimming, exuding a stable and mountain-like aura. This is the protective barrier that Azure Dragon Ancestor personally arranged back then, which is enough to withstand the fierce aftermath of the Seven-Star Fiend level battle, ensuring that the power will not leak out and harm the surrounding areas.
The raised barrier of the battle platform was like a signal. Outside the platform, figures fell from the sky or flashed out from the mountains and forests, quickly gathering. Lei Luo stood at the front, followed by several Highgods with powerful auras., are all the backbone of Reynalds Branch. They have different expressions, some are curious, some are scrutinizing, and some are slightly complicated. Baruch, Hogson and Kano and other elites from Baruch Branch also hurried over and stood on the other side, looking nervously into the field. In the distance, more tribesmen came after hearing the news, or stood on the cliff. Or stopping at the top of a tree. The elder's assessment is a rare event for the family for decades or even hundreds of years, not to mention that the subject of the assessment is Lin Qin, a "newcomer" who was only a middle-ranked god a year ago, but has already stirred up the storm.
"Elder Garvey personally took the assessment----it seems that the rumors are true, Lin Qin really may reach the level of Seven-Star Fiend."
"It's unbelievable, he's only in the mid-level god realm! The speed of his progress is too shocking!"
"Dragon-Patterned Battle Platform are all activated, there is no way to fake it. Let's see, if he can survive a hundred moves without defeat, he will be famous in the family."
Whispering discussions spread among the spectators, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two figures in the center of the platform.
Lin Qin untied the Black Jade Heavy Blade from behind and held it in his hand. The blade was dark and matte, but as heavy as a mountain. He inhaled slowly, and the Azure Dragon Bloodline in his body originating from the Baruch Clan was instantly aroused.
A subtle "chichi" sound sounded from under his skin, and the fine and hard blue dragon scales started from his neck and quickly spread to the whole body, reflecting a cold and hard luster like metal under the light. The finger bones of both hands extended, and the nails became sharp and sharp, turning into real dragon claws, revealing the power to tear everything apart. Feeling. On both sides of his forehead, two cyan dragon horns that were more than a foot long slowly emerged, curved and ferocious, containing the majesty of blood. Behind him, a dragon tail swung, stirring the surrounding airflow. His eyes turned into cold vertical pupils, and in the depths of the pupils, a cyan halo circulated like a whirlpool, overlooking all living beings.
Transformation completed!
An oppressive aura suddenly dispersed from Lin Qin!
"What a pure and rich bloodline power!" Lei Luo's eyes flashed, and he praised in a low voice. In addition to surprise, there was also a hint of indescribable emotion in his tone. Several Highgod behind him also changed their colors.
Seeing this, the elder Garvey also nodded and said solemnly, "What a good bloodline! Then look at mine again!" After saying that, he gave a low drink, his whole body Azure Light surged, and he also began to Dragonblood Warrior transform.
His transformed form is slightly different from Lin Qin, appearing more vigorous and thick. The dragon scales that emerge are darker in color, almost inky green, and each one seems to have been polished over the years, with a faint dark gold luster on the edges. The dragon horn on the forehead is not straight, but more thick, spiraling like the branches of a thousand-year-old tree, with sharp tips. The dragon tail on the back is covered with rugged bone armor, and a ferocious bone spur protrudes from the end. With a slight swing, the air is easily cut.
The two faced each other from a distance. Although they did not make a move, the two powerful dragons had already collided invisible in the center of the platform, causing waves of low-whistle wind whirlpools.
"The first move!" Garvey moved, nothing fancy.
He didn't move, but the long sword in his hand was already thrust straight out. Where the sword edge passed, the space sunk inwards like water,
Twisted, a cyan sword energy condensed to the extreme, as thin as a hair, but with the sharpness to penetrate everything, instantly spanned a distance of a hundred feet and pointed directly at the center of Lin Qin's eyebrows! This sword was faster than lightning, extremely accurate, ruthless and decisive, and Laws of Wind The essence of "fastness" and "penetration" of is perfectly combined with the explosive power given by the power of Dragon Blood. The sheer speed has surpassed the reaction limit of most Highgod.
However, Lin Qin responds faster.
Just a moment before Garvey's shoulders moved slightly, the invisible Gravity Domain had already opened up with Lin Qin as the center, covering hundreds of feet all over the body! The moment the fierce sword energy penetrated the field, it seemed to be trapped in an invisible quagmire, and the speed dropped by 30% visibly to the naked eye! Lin Qin's feet did not move, he just turned sideways, twisted his waist, and Black Jade Heavy Blade in his hand rises diagonally from bottom to top, the blade trembles and emits a low hum. Laws of Earth has "power", "Earth Pulsation", "Gravity Space" The four perfectly integrated mystical powers of "E" and "Earth Element" flow like mercury on the dark blade, giving this blade incomparable heaviness and explosiveness.
"Clang--!"
The swords clashed for the first time!
The clear and ear-splitting sound of gold and iron clashing echoed through the battle platform, and a dazzling spark burst out at the intersection of the swords, and was immediately annihilated by a more powerful shock wave. The circular air wave visible to the naked eye spread loudly with the two people as the center, and hit the surrounding cyan barrier, causing violent ripples. The dragon-shaped shadow on the barrier light screen moved faster, steadily dissolving this force.
Lin Qin's body shook slightly and he took three steps back. Each step left clear footprints several inches deep on the hard Dragon-Patterned Stone ground. The footprints were surrounded by dense spider web-like cracks. Elder Garvey's figure was slightly swaying. His right hand holding the sword was as steady as a rock, his eyes However, a flash of surprise flashed through him - this sword "Wind Stab", although he did not use all his strength, he still used 70% of his strength. It would be difficult for an ordinary opponent to take Six-Star Fiend for the first time easily, but Lin Qin only took three steps back, and his steps were not chaotic, and the sword's power was still there.
"Good sword skills! Good field!" Garvey praised, with a stronger fighting spirit in his eyes, "Be careful with the second move!"
Before he finished speaking, he flicked his wrist, and the long sword turned into a blue sword shadow that filled the sky, like a rainstorm of pear blossoms, or like a violent wind and rain, covering Lin Qin's whole body. Every sword shadow was hard to distinguish between reality and reality. But they all carry biting coldness and cutting power. It is the mysterious and clever use of "Clone Technique" and "Wind Space" in Laws of Wind, named "Thousand-Blade Wind Assault".
Lin Qin's eyes are as calm as an ancient well, and Azure Light circulates in the vertical pupils, capturing the subtle differences in energy fluctuations in countless sword shadows.
He grasped the hilt of the knife tightly with both hands and took a heavy step forward! With this step, Gravity Domain, which originally covered a hundred feet, suddenly shrank, rapidly compressing from a wide range to only ten feet around the body! The compression of the field means that the gravity control within it is more refined, and the pressure increases exponentially! As soon as the sword shadow in the sky entered this ten-foot "absolute domain", it seemed as if Hitting the invisible copper wall Iron Wall, they twisted and collapsed one after another, turning into chaotic airflow. Only three extremely solid blue sword shadows with tricky trajectories, like fish swimming through the waves, tenaciously penetrated the area of heavy pressure and attacked Lin Qin's throat, heart, and lower abdomen. This is the real killing move!
Lin Qin did not retreat but advanced, shouting, "Shock!"
Black Jade Heavy Blade seemed to come alive in his hands. The sword flashed, not directly chopping, but using the blade to drive the surrounding earth elemental power, instantly triggering three highly concentrated "Earth Pulsation" shock waves in a small area in front! The three shock waves were almost in no particular order, and they accurately met the three real sword shadows.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The three muffled sounds almost overlapped. The blade did not come into direct contact with the sword shadow, but the condensed concussive force deflected and dissipated the incoming sword shadow. Lin Qin stepped back again to release force, but this time, he only took two steps back before standing firmly, and the arm holding the knife was still stable.
"Field compression, Vibration Shield, use offense instead of defense." Garvey put away his sword and stood, looking at Lin Qin, with recognition in his tone, "Your understanding and application of Laws of Earth have already entered the room, and are not limited to formalities. Next, try your body skills!"
As the last word fell, Garvey's figure suddenly blurred, leaving a solid cyan afterimage on the spot. With Wind Element's ghostly speed, the real body appeared three feet away to the left of Lin Qin! The long sword was slashed horizontally, Azure Light was strong on the sword's edge, and the crescent-shaped wind blade condensed like a substance tore through Sky Splitter's Qi, making a sharp whistling sound, and struck Lin Qin's waist and ribs. This change of attack was swift and sudden, without any warning.
Lin Qin seemed to have no time to turn around completely. But the shadow of the dragon tail behind him suddenly condensed, and then he whipped it out to the left rear like a steel whip, bringing with it a whistling wind and hitting Garvey's sword-holding wrist directly! At the same time, he held the sword Immovable in his right hand, He bent his left arm, pushed his elbow back, and the tip of Black Jade Heavy Blade's knife came out from his armpit like a poisonous dragon coming out of its hole, pointing directly at Garvey's lower abdomen! The transition between offense and defense was dangerous and fierce, fully demonstrating Dragonblood Warrior's powerful physical instinct and fighting talent.
"Bang!"
The dragon tail phantom first collided with the edge of the sword. Although it was split and dissipated by the sword energy, it successfully caused the trajectory of the horizontal slash to deviate slightly and its power was greatly reduced. It was the obstruction of this lightning and stone fire that gave When Lin Qin turned around, he exerted force on his waist and twisted his body abruptly. Black Jade Heavy Blade drew a semicircle, and the blade struck Garvey's long sword accurately again.
"Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang--!"
What follows is a dizzying close-quarters attack! Garvey brings the speed and weirdness of Wind Element to the extreme. His figure is erratic, his sword shines like an antelope hanging its horns, leaving no trace, attacking from all directions. Lin Qin. Lin Qin sticks to the core of Gravity Domain. Black Jade Heavy Blade can chop or tease, block or block, combining "power", "Earth Pulsation" and "gravity". Each sword was as heavy as a mountain, and carried a strong concussive force. It not only blocked the attack, but also constantly tried to destroy Garvey's attack rhythm and body balance. Seven consecutive strikes as fast as lightning, seven bright sparks and energy exploded in the air, crisp and clear. The sound of the crossfire was continuous. Every time there was a fight, Lin Qin took a step back due to the lack of strength. Seven fights, he took seven steps back in a row, and stone chips flew under his feet. But his face was calm, his breathing was steady, and although the sword was guarded, it was like a continuous mountain, and no flaw was ever exposed.
