The elderly man was shocked to see this. He did not expect that Li Changfeng had comprehended the palm intent in the past few days and even unleashed the fourth move of the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, "The Repentance of the Soaring Dragon," whose power made him a little frightened!
He immediately made his move, stomping his feet down and Immovable as a Mountain. He gathered a domineering aura in his palms and unleashed a violent hundred-foot palm print, slamming it fiercely against the oncoming Dragon Palm Print. The ground exploded wherever it passed, its power extremely ferocious!
"Boom!"
A series of violent collisions rang out. Li Changfeng's palm power was astonishing. Three domineering and masculine palm prints collided head-on with the old man's powerful hundred-zhang palm print, unleashing an extremely violent shockwave that surged outwards.
Wherever it passed, deep cracks appeared in the ground, destroying everything around it. The old man felt an extremely powerful palm force, which continued to shake him, and suddenly pushed him back seven or eight steps. He looked at Li Changfeng with a face full of surprise.
"What domineering palm force! Is this the Repentance of the Soaring Dragon? Truly remarkable!"
Li Changfeng slowly withdrew his palm strike, withdrawing the remaining violent force into his body. His face was slightly pale, as using this move had greatly depleted his true energy. "Senior, you flatter me! You simply did not use your full strength. If you had used your full strength, I would definitely have been defeated by you with a single palm strike!"
The elderly man laughed loudly upon hearing this, "Hahaha! You don't need to be modest, kid. The power I used has already reached the late stage of Grandmaster. It's quite remarkable that you were able to beat me to this extent!"
Li Changfeng was overjoyed upon hearing this. He hadn't expected that this palm strike could repel a late-stage Grandmaster. He was extremely pleased, and his overall strength had increased significantly once again.
Then, the elderly man chuckled and said, "There are only a few days left. I doubt you'll learn anything much. How about you go to the third trial early?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng felt a surge of intense fighting spirit and cupped his hands, saying, "It's my pleasure!"
The elderly man chuckled softly upon hearing this, "I look forward to your performance!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the elderly man in his sixties gently raised his arm, and Li Changfeng felt his eyes filled with white light. He suddenly disappeared and reappeared in an abandoned training ground.
There were already nine figures waiting there. Li Changfeng recognized a few of them: Princess Minmin, Tang Er-Yi, Li Wuyai, and a cold figure wearing a black mask. Li Changfeng vaguely felt that the figure's aura was familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was!
However, below the training ground were some people who had passed the Human-Grade and Earth-Grade. They all seemed to have benefited greatly, as they appeared to have been through a great battle. Their bodies were tattered and covered in wounds, and some were extremely weak, but their faces showed great joy.
These people couldn't even get onto the training ground; they were blocked by an extremely powerful protective barrier, only able to watch but not move, which made them feel extremely regretful. At the same time, they also knew that the people on the training ground must be geniuses who had passed the Heavenly Trial!
At this moment, Zuo Kangcheng and his group also passed the Human-Grade, as did Zhou Zhiruo, Zuo Bufan, and Tie Rushan. However, they all looked extremely pale and disheveled. Fortunately, the three alliance leaders also passed.
Their situation was even worse; their auras were extremely weak, and even an ordinary third-rate expert could kill them. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't fight here, they would probably have been killed here by their enemies' forces long ago. However, only a handful of people from the two major alliances came here.
Most of those who came were at the Grandmaster level or above. All the disciples were dead. If they hadn't been cautious enough, most of the Grandmasters would have only gone to the Earth-Grade trial, and they would probably have been wiped out long ago. Most of the disciples went to the Earth-Grade or Heaven-Grade Trial Grounds, and it was practically a one-way trip.
However, a large number of Grandmasters died in the Heavenly Trial, and several leaders also died inside, including the leader of the Heavenly Spring Sword Manor, the leader of the Wu family, and several powerful Grandmasters from the rogue cultivators. They entered the Heavenly Trial and never came out again.
The leaders of those sects were all worldly people who knew that these places must be very dangerous. After making their choices, they all chose the Earth-Grade trial, so there were no casualties.
The two alliance members glared at Li Changfeng with venomous eyes, feeling extremely resentful that Li Changfeng had passed the Heavenly Trial!
At this moment, Qinghua Yue also arrived at the foot of the training ground. She was completely unharmed, but her brows were furrowed. "The difficulty of the Earth-Grade is much easier than I imagined. Otherwise, I wouldn't have passed it so easily. I should have tried the Heaven level!"
This ruin has existed for too long, and the energy can no longer maintain the original difficulty. Most of them are extremely lucky to be able to barely pass through, but the difficulty of the Heavenly level will not change. There are people who personally give them trials. If Qinghua Yue goes in, she will probably be in trouble!
Zhou Zhiruo looked at Li Changfeng with a face full of joy, "Brother Feng! He passed the Heavenly Trial!"
The others also spotted Li Changfeng in the square and were overjoyed. Only Zuo Bufan looked at Li Changfeng with resentment and jealousy in his eyes.
In the square.
Princess Minmin's face lit up with joy upon spotting Li Changfeng. She quickly walked over and exclaimed with a smile, "You really came! I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng looked apologetic. "I'm sorry, Princess Minmin! I was delayed by some things, which is why I'm late. Luckily, you postponed the competition, otherwise I would definitely have missed it!"
Princess Minmin smiled slightly upon hearing this, "It's alright! It's good that you came! The most important thing is not to embarrass the people of Southern Emperor Province! You know what I mean?"
Li Changfeng nodded upon hearing this, "Don't worry! I definitely won't let you down!"
Zhang Xuandao, Leng Xue, Ouyang Duha, and Buddha Child slowly walked over, showing great interest in Li Changfeng, a man whose whereabouts were often elusive.
Zhang Xuandao cupped his hands and said, "You must be the legendary Li Changfeng! I've heard so much about you!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng also cupped his hands in greeting, "My apologies! It's you! I didn't expect to run into you here. May I ask how this gentleman is addressed?"
Upon hearing this Zhang Xuandao chuckled lightly, "I am Zhang Xuandao! I never expected that the person I bumped into on the street back then would be Brother Li!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng's pupils contracted, and a fierce fighting spirit ignited throughout his body. "You are Zhang Xuandao, the number one on the Human Rankings! Truly a rare and outstanding talent!"
"Heh! This is just an empty reputation. The world is vast, and there are countless capable people. I've only earned this empty reputation!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng felt a surge of admiration. The person who could be ranked first on the Human Rankings must not be simple, and to be so humble was also remarkable. This person was broad-minded and carefree, and such a temperament made him someone worth getting to know better!
Zhang Xuandao gave Li Changfeng a deep look, "It seems that Brother Li has opened his heart, and he looks completely different!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng sighed, "This is all thanks to Brother Zhang's heartfelt words back then!"
