This is a real record-breaking achievement; only 16 people remained after just the second round.
Given this situation, even if all 16 people pass the second round, the top ten will likely be decided in the third round.
Moreover, it's not certain that all 16 people will make it through the second stage, and there might not even be a need to start the third stage!
The culprit behind all of this was the Bone Peach Mother Tree, which had no background and a less than privileged origin.
Everyone sighed with regret upon thinking about it.
After sensing the Power of Water, Men Sishiyi's entire state changed! She was as comfortable and at ease in the flood as a fish, no longer needing to force herself to stay still.
Her transformation inspired others as well.
It's estimated that only Li Yang understands the key points of this test; the others already knew long ago.
There was no other way; in order to keep going, the rest of them were preoccupied with sensing the Power of Water.
They tried for four whole days, but still couldn't sense the Power of Water!
This is also the difficulty of this level.
Having mastered the Power of Space in advance, the difficulty of sensing the Power of Water has increased a hundredfold or even a thousandfold.
While the Power of Space can be compatible with the Power of Water, this is only relative to other divine powers; it simply means they do not conflict.
The Star Wielders also needs to balance the two divine powers within their body on their own.
What would be extremely difficult for other Disciple was a piece of cake for Li Yang.
She could easily sense the Power of Water from the very beginning, but she was simply trying her best to resist it.
It wasn't until Men Sishiyi sensed the Power of Water that Li Yang suddenly understood!
She was at a disadvantage because of the information gap.
Li Yang was unaware that the Star Wielders of the Mystifying Space Realm Domain could wield two divine powers.
She believed that once she mastered the Power of Space, she could no longer master other powers, which is why she had been frantically rejecting the Power of Water.
Men Sishiyi set a very good example for her.
Men Sishiyi, who possessed abundant Power of Space, also sensed Power of Water at this moment... Xuanyuan did not cast any further glances at him, which was enough to prove that this was a normal phenomenon.
However, the process of her refusal is also important. If she senses it right away, Xuanyuan might use her as a guinea pig for research.
Li Yang has reached her limit.
While others were being impacted by the Power of Water, she was struggling against the "Sparse Words, Natural Heart Sutra".
She always felt that if the * Sparse Words, Natural Heart Sutra) could materialize, it would probably be like an anxious old mother, pointing her finger at her and yelling, "Eat! Why aren't you eating! Eat now!"
Li Yang, on the other hand, was a picky eater who absolutely refused to eat a single drop of the "Power of Water." Even when the "Sparse Words, Natural Heart Sutra" Risking Life into her mouth, she still had Risking Life spit it out.
What's even more suffocating is that Li Yang is actually very hungry.
These four days were a tremendous test of Li Yang's willpower.
Unfortunately, there were no Nature Department Star Wielders in the audience; if there were, they would have definitely contributed a lot of Shock Points to Li Yang.
Only they could understand just how terrifying Li Yang's willpower was!
[Lifespan increased by 1000 years.]
[Lifespan increased by 1000 years.]
[Shock Points from Pure Lianxin increased by 100 points.]
Unfortunately, Li Yang was fully focused on mastering the "Sparse Words, Natural Heart Sutra" and didn't see this message at all.
Otherwise, she might become complacent due to her confusion and be vulnerable to the Power of Water.
This is putting Lianlian in a very difficult position.
Lianlian not only contributed her lifespan, but also her Shock Points!
Men Sishiyi looked completely refreshed, and she quickly looked at her colleagues.
Kong Yi had already instructed them to help each other and advance together to become Wise One.
Within the hierarchy of the Lost Space Society, colleagues are the biggest competitors.
Men Sishiyi didn't usually get along well with them, but at this moment she knew very well that Kong Yi was watching.
In front of Kong Yi, she dared not trip up her colleague.
Besides, there's no rush. Let's first help Kong Yi advance to become First-Class Wise One; that will make their future brighter.
Therefore, the four Disciple under Kong Yi stuck together very tightly during this assessment.
After sensing the Power of Water, Men Sishiyi immediately understood how to balance the Power of Space and the Power of Water.
This is difficult to describe in words, but she can use her Power of Space to carry a portion of the Power of Water to her colleagues' Origin Soul, thus helping them to awaken their sensitivity to the Power of Water.
With the help of Men Sishiyi, Men Si Kong Yi also seemed to successfully sense the Power of Water.
One of Kong Er's Disciple finally shouted, achieving a balance between the Power of Space and the Power of Water within his body, and his Origin Soul erupted with a luster that was half blank and half aquamarine.
A Wise One in the audience exclaimed, "Wow! The fusion is quite good, the balance is extremely high!"
The higher the balance between the two divine powers, the greater the benefit to the Origin Soul.
The Disciple's Origin Soul before me is a perfectly evenly divided half, which can be considered a first-class degree of fusion.
Kong Er's eyes lit up, and he straightened his back even more.
Although she was ranked after Kong Yi, she tried to outdo Kong Yi in every way.
This time, she put in even more effort to cultivate more Disciple than Kong Yi, hoping to surpass him and seize the spot of the First-Class Wise One.
Men Sishiyi sensed the Power of Water first, making Kong Er somewhat uneasy.
Fortunately, at that moment, her Disciple also sensed the Power of Water!
Even if Men Sishiyi wanted to cause trouble, he would have to consider his own strength.
Kong Er also instructed his Disciple that the six of them must unite and help each other, not only to advance to the level of Wise One together, but also to find a way to bring down Kong Yi's Disciple!
In the first level, they had no room to maneuver.
After sensing the Power of Water in the second stage, it might be worth looking for an opportunity.
Li Yang had been observing.
She wanted to check on the other Disciple first to make sure everything was correct before she would try to sense things discreetly.
Li Yang was already quite conspicuous in the first round, so she just wanted to keep a low profile in this round.
After all, there are too few people in the second level, so even if things get chaotic, they can't cause too much harm.
The Flower of Evil should have had its fill by the first level; it shouldn't have been seduced by Xuanyuan.
Therefore, for the second challenge, Li Yang only wanted to pass it casually.
However, she can't simply live a mundane life if she wants to.
Through continuous observation, Li Yang clearly realized that there were two factions among the Disciple of this second level.
Although she didn't know who they were, Li Yang could guess their general identities after a little thought.
It's simply that the Wise One above them are competing for a higher ranking.
Just like how Kong Shisan gave the Bone Peach Mother Tree this spot, it was also to improve his own ranking.
Li Yang wasn't interested in any of that; she just wanted to take advantage of the situation and sense the Power of Water.
Five people...
Six people...
Seven people have already sensed the Power of Water!
It's almost done!
If she ranks eighth out of 16 people, she's hardly noticeable.
Li Yang took a light breath and relaxed slightly.
The time has come to test her acting skills.
She had studied the state of those people when they sensed the Power of Water, and was preparing to put on a good performance.
She needs to work hard first, then at some point have an epiphany, and then...
Depend on!
Even with Li Yang's composure, he couldn't help but swear at this moment.
She only opened the opening slightly, and the Power of Water surged in like a flood.
Li Yang realized something was wrong, but she couldn't stop!
She had been holding back for four days and four nights, suppressing her power to the limit. Now, as she relaxed slightly, she instantly attracted a large amount of Power of Water.
A thought flashed through Li Yang's mind, and she quickly used her Power of Space to resist.
However, the Power of Space stored in her Origin Soul was already thin, so how could it withstand the impact of this Power of Water!
Rumble! Crash!
Li Yang watched helplessly as his Origin Soul gradually changed from a nearly transparent white to an increasingly deep aquamarine.
This... this...
Li Yang tried his best to drive away the Power of Water, but the Power of Water was like an unbreakable stream; once connected, it could not be severed!
At first, the Wise One in the audience had not noticed the situation of the Bone Peach Mother Tree.
After all, seven people have already sensed the Power of Water, so even if the Bone Peach Mother Tree sensed it, it wouldn't be considered outstanding.
Until... a large amount of Power of Water surged towards the Bone Peach Mother Tree, even forming a water-blue vortex around her.
The Bone Peach Mother Tree was seen frantically absorbing the immense Power of Water within the whirlpool.
"What did the Bone Peach Mother Tree do this time?"
"Has she suddenly had an epiphany? How come her sensitivity to the Power of Water is so acute!"
"Holy crap! She's like a bottomless pit, draining away so much Power of Water!"
Many of the Wise One in the Lost Space Society cultivate the Power of Water, so they see much more clearly than others.
Someone exclaimed in surprise, "Water-born wood... the Bone Peach Mother Tree's cultivation level has skyrocketed!"
"But can she handle so much Power of Water?"
The Bone Peach Mother Tree actually ate it all, and not only did it eat it all, but it wasn't even enough.
The Bone Peach Mother Tree was originally Star Skill that combined wood and fire elements.
Her fire-type Star Skill was severely damaged by the impact of the Power of Water.
However, her fire-type Star Skill was of such a high grade that it was not instantly overwhelmed, but rather it managed to hold on precariously.
It was precisely because of this brief period of support that the Wood-type Star Skill had the opportunity to begin frantically nourishing itself.
Wood-type skills are of a higher rank, but under normal circumstances, they cannot make up for the lack of fire-type skills.
But the Power of Water nourishes wood-type skills!
And so, an incredibly bizarre scene unfolded.
The Power of Water kept surging into her Origin Soul, determined to destroy all the fire-type Star Skill on Origin Soul.
The wood-type Star Skill grew stronger under the impact of the Power of Water, and even fed back into the crumbling fire-type Star Skill!
These three attributes somehow achieved a strange balance within the Bone Peach Mother Tree's Origin Soul.
