Chapter 534: Chapter 534
The moment Xia Baiyu and Xing Suiri saw the huge ice shard poking out of their arena’s ceiling, they unconsciously started calculating the star for the possible future that involves this scene. They always do it whenever they feel a bad premonition. Most star readers possessed keen senses of danger. Their intuition is above average most of the time.
Who would expect that the two famous disciples of the Starfield Sect would both turn pale face at the result of their calculation of stars? This signifies that they had foreseen great danger that involved ice shards.
They immediately shouted a warning to everyone in the same arena with them and ran away while dragging Tan Shenyu with them. They jump out of the arena without hesitation. Those who knew about their status as disciples of Starfield Sect, didn’t hesitate to follow them out of the stage. Some mermaid warriors who felt danger also followed them out.
However, there are still some fools who didn’t fear death and stood on the stage while giving everyone disdainful eyes as if seeing an idiot who threw a match.
"Hahaha~ only a few of us remain!"
"If we fight, the last one standing will be the winner!"
But what they didn’t expect was that these would be the last words they would utter in their life. As if giving answers to the fear Xia Baiyu and Xing Suiri had shown,the ice shard on the ceiling melted and a waterfall made of lava fell directly on the stage.
The other participants of the normal level arena instantly melted and died. Not even a piece of their bones remained. Xia Baiyu, Xin Suiri, Tan Shenyu and the rest who had avoided the lava on time were now hanging at the walls. As for the audience they had longed to run out and evacuate. However, the arena level they are in had locked them in.
It was said as participants of the arena’s competition, they who had signed the life and death contract from the beginning cannot leave this level unless they forfeited. Xia Baiyu and the others didn’t forfeit and can only wait for the lava falling from the stage above theirs to ease.
Due to the hole on the ceiling, the hole spread and got bigger. A few stage-like platforms fell on the ground and a few participants were even flying. Among those people who fell from above are familiar faces for Xia Baiyu and their team.
These people were the couple, Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue. There is also grandfather Tan Huangyu and Monk Hu Ren who stood at a piece of stone alone chanting with a peaceful expression on his face. Among those who were flying was Long Heiyu and those from other races who possessed wings.
Among them, Xue Renxue looked enraged as he shouted at the Ancient Hell Dragon’s Heir, Long Heiyu.
"You crazy damn lizard. After making a hole on the ground you even break the stopper I’ve placed in it. What the hell is wrong with your head!?" Xue Renxue bellowed.
"Since there isn’t enough platform to stand on, destroying a part of the arena to make one doesn’t seem to be against the rules," said Long Heiyu. "Arena rules didn’t say that one cannot destroy it!"
He attacked the couple and following after him was a dragon whose role was to be his attendant. Xue Renxue blocked their attacks nonchalantly. Clearly these guys had hard feelings for each other and wanted to defeat the other. While ice and fire were spreading in place, Tan Huangyu and Monk Hu Ren noticed them hanging and controlled the land they were in to get closer to the walls where they were.
Tan Huangyu said, "Get down here. It’s more dangerous to just hang in place."
The three of them jumped down joining the other members of their team. There are others who found a platform and jumped down as well. The most update n0vels are published on novel⚑fire.net
Tan Shenyu looked at his daughter and future son-in-law battling the Dragon descendants. Though his daughter, Tan Bingyu, looked uninterested, his future son-in-law, Xue Renxue, on the other hand was attacking Long Heiyu and almost called a blizzard over to turn that annoying dragon into a popsicle.
"So, what is wrong with those kids, Dad?" Tan Shenyu asked.
Recalling what happened a few hours ago...
After everyone had split up, they entered the hallway which leads to the Master level’s arena. Tan Bingyu was looking a bit sleepy as she walked. Xue Renxue noticed that had supported his future wife.
"Bing’er, are you sleepy? Do you want me to carry you?" Xue Renxue asked.
"No need. I will be fine," said Tan Bingyu. However at some point Tan Bingyu closed her eyes and instantly fell asleep.
Xue Renxue caught her before she fell on the ground, "Careful, Bing’er!"
No one expected the couple to stumble and bumped into the short tempered dragon descendant, Long Heiyu.
Xue Renxue, despite his almost expressionless face, had a personality completely opposite of the element he wields. He becomes more direct with his tongue loosely hanging especially when he speaks. He talks before his mind can even process.
"Oh~ sorry Mr. Lizard," said Xue Renxue.
The moment they entered the arena and the battle royale had begun, Long Heiyu had attacked them first while shouting the following words:
"Who the hell are you calling ’Lizard’? You damn ice cube bastard!" Shouted the Ancient Hell Dragon’s descendant, Long Heiyu.
The whole scene was vividly explained by Tan Huangyu and the Monk named Hu Ren. They were watching the whole scene. The atmosphere between the two went from normal to hell.
Monk Hu Ren said, "The first fire breath of the dragon created a hole on the ground which Benefactor Xue patched with an ice. They fought until the whole Master Arena collapsed and we ended here."
"Are there no other opponents at this level? I haven’t seen a single mermaid from your floor," said Xia Baiyu.
As soon as these words were spoken the lava that had encompassed the whole palace was suddenly disrupted when a few mermaids in armor jumped out from the lava. There are at least two mermaid warriors whose size is thrice a human adult and both attacked the pair of Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue as well as Long Heiyu and his attendant.
These two mermaid warriors made their move with their tridents attacking all other races aside from their own race. What made it worse is that their realm is the highest within the crowd, these two demigods controlled the other mermaid turning the lava they are into to be no different from water.
This time everyone was involved in this attack. The others defended themselves, others forfeited and were thrown out of the arena while others were indifferent. This stage of the arena had also collapsed to the beginner stage.
At the beginner stage Arena the only ones that remained which weren’t from the mermaid race were Monk Hu Gu and Yue Huashui. Most from the other race had accepted defeat before they were badly wounded by the mermaid whose strength suddenly increases . Their ceiling burst and lava flowed down.
Monk Hu Gu was shocked at first when he had witnessed such a scene that he had accidentally activated his golden body which blocked all kinds of attacks on them. Yue Huashui acted as well. He controlled the moisture in air and summoned a huge water droplet that cancels out a part of lava rain which made the two of them safely head to the next stage where everybody.
In the end, the stage of the arena had become one with half of it composed of boiling lava and the other made of water from the melted ice created by Xue Renxue and Tan Bingyu.
Those who stood from the side of the lava composed only of the mermaid race’s warriors of all levels. On the opposite side were made up of people who came from the outside, in short trial takers who had accepted this Intermediate Trial. Among the crowd not only includes those who were listed in top ten but also some who were unexpectedly strong enough to appear in this place.
The disciples and descendants under the Huashen realm visitors had gathered. This time they have the same enemies: the mermaid clan led by two late Yuanying realm mermaid warriors. They possessed the same level as Tan Bingyu.
The mermaid clan with two leaders and the other side without one, it wouldn’t be hard to say which can lead the crowd better. But this is what the mermaid clan is the best off. They are good at tricks and making use of loopholes within the rules.
Suddenly, an announcement amid everything rang at this moment.
{Ding! Dong! Intermediate and Major Trial had been merged. I repeat, the Intermediate and the Major Trial have been merged.}
{Those who had only accepted the Intermediate Trial once you had defeated at least one mermaid warrior have a choice to be teleported out of the Mermaid Clan instantly or chose to remain to defeat more opponents.}
{As for those who accepted both the intermediate and major trials, your requirement is to defeat all the mermaid warriors before you and the Mermaid Clan’s Heir would be summoned after.}
{Dear trial takers~ good luck~}
After the announcement was made, everyone from the side made up of water were dumbfounded. Monk Hu Gu and Tan Shenyu were about to curse the whole nine generations of the mermaid race after learning what they needed to do.
"Hahaha~ this trial is insane!!"
