Chapter 25 The Eighteen Bronze Men In Golden Armor
“Are you crazy? Why are you pinching my thigh?”
“Hmm, it looks like it’s real. It’s not a dream. How can this be real? An in-name disciple who is taking part in the test for the first time not only has five elemental spiritual meridians, but also has to challenge two levels from difficult to hell on the same day!”
“Either I’ve gone crazy or the world has gone crazy.”
“I still remember, the first and only time someone passed the difficult challenge, the whole sect was given a three-day holiday, as a celebration for finding a top genius girl.’
||
“You’re talking about Senior Sister Chen Motong, right? She was one of the rarest three-spirit root holders back then, and she immediately became an Inner Sect disciple. In less than two months, she became the First Elder’s direct disciple.”
“That’s right. She’s very ambitious. If she comes back after a period of training and sees this Little Junior Brother, there’s probably going to be a good show to watch.”
“I think this Little Junior Brother is stronger. Regardless of whether he has the five elements spirit meridians, Senior Sister Jiang’s attitude towards him can be seen. This Senior Sister is also a first-class ice beauty, but isn’t she gentle and soft towards Junior Brother Nan?”
When a person surpassed them by a level, they might be jealous or unconvinced.
However, when a person surpassed several major realms and left others in the dust, all the complicated emotions would turn into respect and yearning.
The in-name disciples who participated in the exchange meeting even felt honored to be able to compete with such a genius. It was enough for them to brag about it for half a lifetime.
No matter what the others said, Nan Shan only stared at the First Elder with burning eyes.
Or rather, he was the great elder. This elder’s status was quite high, and he usually wouldnot participate in this kind of low-level exchange meeting. He was more often in seclusion.
However, he didn’t expect that he would participate in it on a whim and directly see the natural five elements spiritual meridians.
“You should reconsider it. Hell difficulty is different from the other two levels. even if an
accident happens in normal and difficult difficulty, with us old guys watching over you,
your safety will be guaranteed.
“But hell difficulty is different. It’s a real battle. Fists and legs have no eyes. If there’s an accident, no one will be able to save you in time.”
The First Elder tried to dissuade him.
At this moment, there was already an older Outer Sect disciple who came to Nan Shan’s side with an exquisite red wooden tray.
On it was a set of clothing exclusive to the Outer Sect disciples, and a finely carved Outer Sect jade tablet.
As long as Nan Shan accepted the tray, he would be an Outer Sect disciple.
Moreover, everyone knew that the Outer Sect
was just Nan Shan’s stepping stone. It could not be the endgame.
With natural five-element spirit meridians, not to mention being a personal disciple, it was not impossible for him to establish a sect directly after becoming an immortal one day.
Nan Shan looked at the things on the tray and then at the First Elder. He looked a little
troubled.
“Your future is limitless. If you really want to challenge the hell difficulty, you can try again after cultivating for a while.”
The First Elder consoled him patiently.
However, he quickly realized that not only did
Nan Shan not show any signs of changing his mind, but even his demureness had completely
disappeared.
The young man’s handsome face was filled with a restless fighting spirit.
“You’re such a coward!” The First Elder was
speechless.
“First Elder, please wait for a moment. Allow me to speak with Junior Brother for a
moment.”
Jiang Congshuang, who had been silent all this
time, bowed slightly and pulled Nan Shan to the side after getting permission.
“Senior Sister, what’s the rush?” Nan Shan
asked in confusion.
“Do you know that the hell difficulty is not
meant for us to pass? Even if you have five elemental spiritual meridians, you won’t be able to last more than three moves against me.
||
Jiang Congshuang’s thick eyelashes drooped to hide the worry in her eyes.
“It’s really a real battle?” Nan Shan was even
more excited.
“What else did you think? Being able to cut off the thorn vines and the mother tree is the convenience of your weapon. Real combat is far from what you and I, who are cultivating in the sect and have never experienced the trial, can imagine. If we accidentally damage our foundation, then the loss will outweigh the
gain.” Jiang Congshuang tried to persuade him.
She rarely cared so much about a person, but she was willing to say a few more words because Nan Shan was different from others.
If it was someone else, even if they were
courting death under her eyes, she wouldn’t even look at them.
“You’ll be able to see my true strength in a
while. To be honest, even I don’t know how far
I can go.”
Nan Shan rubbed his hands, his eagerness to try was already obvious.
Jiang Congshuang was at a loss for words. how
arrogant! she said and ran to the First Elder’s side. “What’s wrong? Doesn’t it make sense?” The
First Elder had already recovered his stern attitude and asked indifferently. Jiang Congshuang snorted coyly and nodded.
“That’s enough. Young people always have a heart. It’s always a good thing for him to suffer a little. Geniuses are not rare, but they can’t last long. It’s because they are too ambitious and their strength is not worthy of them.” The First Elder turned around and glanced at the excited Nan Shan. He could not help but
sigh. “Then you’re allowing it?”
“Why not? Just pay close attention and don’t let him suffer any fatal injuries.”
After saying this, the First Elder walked the stage that had just been cleared. Under his solemn gaze, the noisy venue
up to
quieted down little by little until everyone’s eyes gathered on him.
“At the request of disciple Nan Shan, we have started the hell difficulty challenge. We invite the eighteen bronze men in golden armor.”
As soon as the First Elder finished speaking, a magnificent golden light suddenly emitted from the distant mountain peak. “The eighteen bronze men have received their
orders!”
The reply was vigorous and distant. When it fell into everyone’s ears, they could not help but tremble.
Nan Shan couldn’t help but look up. On the rugged mountain road, eighteen figures walked down the mountain.
They had been at the top of the mountain a
second ago, but in the next second, they were at the foot of the mountain.
In the blink of an eye, the eighteen bronze men in golden armor had arrived at the arena. All of them had their hands clasped together
and their eyes closed. Their upper bodies were covered with mysterious golden patterns, giving off a sense of inviolability. Just as everyone was shocked by the aura, the
eighteen people opened their eyes at the same time.
“Oh.”
A series of rumbles sounded in everyone’s ears, but they weren’t annoying. On the contrary, they felt a sense of calmness when they heard
this sound.
“These are the eighteen golden armored bronze men from my sect. If you can withstand
their attacks for the time it takes an incense
stick to burn, you will pass the hell difficulty challenge.”
The First Elder took a step back. Immediately,
the eighteen golden armored bronze men’s eyes all gathered on Nan Shan. Imperceptibly, a strong sense of oppression spread.
