Chapter 846: Dugu Nian's Brute Force
Chapter 846: Chapter 846: Dugu Nian’s Brute Force
Inside the great hall, everyone had already become numb.
In their eyes, Fang Lin and his two companions were the epitome of freaks, simply abnormal.
Especially that Fang Lin, with blood seeping from the corners of his mouth, seemed on the verge of collapse many times, yet he always managed to steady himself.
This left people speechless.
After several cycles of this, many no longer paid attention to Fang Lin, convinced that he would always stabilize at the crucial moment.
“Hm?” Just when Fang Lin once again felt like he couldn’t hold on any longer, a change suddenly occurred within his body, as if a warm current surged to every part of his body.
The appearance of this warm current immediately resolved Fang Lin’s pressure. Although the oppressive force still existed, it no longer brought him to the brink of collapse at every moment.
“It seems the goal has been reached,” Fang Lin thought to himself with quiet joy. The emergence of the warm current indicated that his physical body had endured the most dangerous phase and was now experiencing a turn for the better.
Fang Lin’s eyes gradually became clear, and his spirit was revitalized as if his entire being had been sublimated.
This change signified that Fang Lin’s physical body had reached a perfect state, flawless and not only robust but also extremely stable and solid at its foundation.
This was an essential improvement. For Fang Lin, the benefits of this advance were enormous, although they would only become apparent in the future.
“Eh? Look at Fang Lin’s expression, doesn’t he seem to be enjoying this?”
“Yeah, he was on the brink of death just now, but now he looks completely relaxed.”
“Could it be that this kid has broken through his physical limits? But there doesn’t seem to be any significant change.”
Everyone noticed the change in Fang Lin’s demeanor, and all were amazed.
Seeing this, Dugu Nian finally let go of the heart she had been holding, and although she did not understand Fang Lin’s change, his relaxed appearance meant he should be alright.
Long Zhiming, upon seeing Fang Lin’s expression, frowned slightly and took a deep look at him.
In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.
Still, these three people stood within the great hall, but aside from Dugu Nian, both Fang Lin and Long Zhiming had reached their limits.
Even Fang Lin, whose physique had improved, could no longer withstand the pressure in the hall at the moment.
Long Zhiming was the same. Although he was strong and his body was no weaker than Fang Lin’s, he now trembled, his complexion ashen, much like Fang Lin when he had previously hit his limit.
Fang Lin was in almost the exact same state as Long Zhiming, and both knew very well that they had truly reached their limits and could not hold on any longer.
To insist on doing so would surely lead to severe damage, possibly even irreversible harm.
Just as both were about to give up, the oppressive force that had enveloped the entire great hall for nearly five days suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Fang Lin and Long Zhiming couldn’t adjust right away and fell to the ground, gasping for air.
The faint white light around Dugu Nian retracted into her body as if it had never been there.
When the white light vanished, Dugu Nian’s expression clearly froze for a moment, since she felt as if some tremendous change had occurred within her.
He clenched his fist, and Dugu Nian felt as though he was brimming with strength; it seemed like he could shatter anything with a single punch.
Immediately afterward, Dugu Nian, as if possessed, threw a punch at the ground of the great hall.
There was a loud ‘bang’, and the great hall seemed to shake. Everyone gazed at Dugu Nian in astonishment, unsure of what the girl was doing.
“Wow, my strength is actually this powerful!” Dugu Nian looked at her own fist and exclaimed with a face full of surprise.
The crowd was speechless. Was there something wrong with this girl’s brain? Did she not even know how strong she was?
On a whim, Dugu Nian ran to a golden pillar, put all her strength into it, and threw another punch.
This action frightened the few people sitting by the golden pillar into hastily dodging, thinking the girl had gone mad.
With a thunderous roar, the golden pillar immediately flickered with light, its array shaken by Dugu Nian. As golden light surged, it scared everyone present, their faces turning pale with shock.
“Stop!” Elder Huang rushed in with a look of panic and hastily prevented Dugu Nian from continuing her actions.
Dugu Nian immediately ceased, looking around as if she hadn’t done a thing.
Elder Huang glared at Dugu Nian and said irritably, “You girl, are you trying to demolish the Wuji Battle Temple?”
Dugu Nian looked at him innocently, “I didn’t do anything.”
The crowd rolled their eyes. You didn’t do anything? Do you think we are all blind?
Fortunately, Elder Huang didn’t pursue the matter further, but after scolding her for a bit, Dugu Nian obediently listened. However, by the looks of it, she still seemed to be reveling in the joy of her newfound power.
Fang Lin knew that Dugu Nian’s dramatic change was entirely due to the power his mother had left within her.
With Bai Qingxue’s skills, making Dugu Nian become an unparalleled expert on the spot was entirely feasible.
Dugu Nian had received a power from Fang Lin’s mother, Bai Qingxue. It was this power that prevented Dugu Nian from feeling any pressure here, yet still allowed her to use that pressure to enhance her own strength.
Thinking of this, Fang Lin looked at Dugu Nian somewhat resentfully. He, her own son, had fought so hard to get to this point, while Dugu Nian, this girl, had done nothing yet reaped such great benefits.
Elder Huang’s gaze lingered on the crowd, especially on the three who had lasted till the end.
The outcome was not within his expectations. To be precise, the performances of Fang Lin and Dugu Nian were too astonishing.
“You have all experienced the trials of this hall,” Elder Huang said. “Next, the Battle Spirit Temple will be opened. You can choose to enter the Battle Spirit Temple or choose to continue undergoing trials here. As for the decision, it’s entirely up to you.”
He said this and pointed to a gate at the other end of the great hall, ancient and heavy, as if there was a brand new world behind it.
“Elder, what is the Battle Spirit Temple?” someone asked, puzzled.
Elder Huang explained, “Inside the Battle Spirit Temple, there are battle spirits condensed by the array. Once you enter the temple, the array will generate different battle spirits according to your strength, for you to fight continuously against. The more battle spirits you defeat, the better the rewards you will receive in the end.”
Upon hearing this, some people looked towards Long Zhiming, thinking that with Long Zhiming’s strength, he could gain the greatest benefits in the Battle Spirit Temple.
After a pause, Elder Huang looked towards Fang Lin and the other two, “The three of you can now try the Battle Spirit Temple. If you continue to stay in the Pressure Hall, there won’t be much left to gain.”
The underlying message was that he hoped the three of them would enter the Battle Spirit Temple as soon as possible for the next stage of their trial.
