Chapter 212
The masked man’s advancement ended the competition of this round.
After the selection process was done, the top twelve were the most powerful among the powerful.
Gao Jianli, Yi Shuihan, Mo Kuang, Lu Fei, the Third Prince, and Li Hengjing were geniuses who had been famous since they were very young.
The other three were not well known or on the Eternal Flame List. Although people didn’t know anything about them, they had been doing great and become dark horses. There is always someone better than you. From watching them, people understood this saying more.
But of course, the biggest dark horse was definitely the masked man who was going to have a fight to the death with the Third Prince.
Different from the others, the opponents he had defeated were all very powerful, each more powerful than the previous. Some of them were even comparable to the current top twelve, notably, Princess Crimson Moon and Xue Rentian.
The most horrifying fact was that the masked man had only been serious when he fought with Xue Rentian. It was obvious he had been holding back his strength.
It was because Gao Jianli had been too lucky to run into any difficult rivals, so of course, he had nothing to work on.
He was hesitating before a portal when he caught the Third Prince’s attention.
No one knew what was in the door. If someone else went inside first, that would be the best way to tell.
That was why Gao Jianli was hesitant. He didn’t want to be the first.
Urged by the Third Prince, he felt like he had to go inside.
As soon as he made contact with the portal, he was sucked in.
Many people, including Jiang Chen, looked towards the portal he had gone in, wondering what would happen to Gao Jianli after leaving. Some people were even timing him.
His strength would see a ten percent improvement for every fifteen minutes he was inside. Many people were curious about such a wonderful effect.
Gao Jianli walked out of the portal about ten minutes later. At the same time, the portal disappeared.
No one cared about the portal. Everyone was gazing at Gao Jianli.
They were surprised to see Gao Jianli looking like he was still ready to fight. The energy of his sword was aggressive, and he was gasping for air. His chest heaved up and down rapidly.
His master and the elders of his sect hurried to go stabilize him.
“Master, I’ve mastered the first special movement of The Sword Method of the Holy Spirit,” Gao Jianli said. He looked helpless instead of joyful.
Without waiting for his master’s response, he said, “I could have mastered all three of the special movements. It’s a pity that…”
He didn’t continue, but everyone could see how regretful and reluctant he was and how he had been stunned by the portal.
“What’s in there?” the Third Prince said impatiently.
“You’ll know when you go in,” Gao Jianli said.
“You—!”
The Third Prince flew into a rage. These guys couldn’t be so rude to him!
The masked man, who had shaken his reputation, was the cause of everything.
“Let’s wait and see. I’ll tear you to pieces!”
