Chapter 175
“Don’t tell me he’s going to jump over the wall?” Everyone looked tense as they watched Wang Hao’s movements. Moments later, Wang Hao withdrew his hand, looking quite disappointed. He then motioned something to his followers. His followers nodded as they started walking away from the wall. Wang Hao then started to follow suit.
Gabrielle and the other commentators sighed in relief when Wang Hao decided to move away from the wall.
“Hmmph, of course Wang Hao will not be able to cross that wall!” Gabrielle thought smugly to herself. “How could I doubt the integrity of the wall!”
Gabrielle once again mulled on the capabilities on their border wall.
The wall was tall, around 30 meters tall. It was made with strong materials, able to withstand even an attack by an Eight Stage Practitioner. Aside from that, the wall was also enforced with magic cannons at its top.
With the pressure exerted by the mountain and the height of the wall, it was almost impossible for anyone in the trial to jump over it, especially with a First Stage power.
And even if someone manages to jump over the wall, the magic cannons situated on the top of the wall will shoot these practitioners.
The strength of these cannons will be enough to shred someone at the First Stage.
With that kind of defenses, Gabrielle should feel guilty about doubting the capabilities of the wall.
“Ehem.” Gabrielle cleared her throat as she started a new topic.
South Area: 23 teams
West Area: 24 teams
North Area: 28 teams
North Area had the most amount of teams remaining due to Jieshu’s followers. The killing intent that they were releasing slowed down the activities in the North Area.
As for the South and West Area, the number of teams remaining there actually corresponds to the average teams left in an area after three hours, which was around 23.153210001.
That means the flow of activity in there was just right.
As for the East Area…..
“How shameless!” If Gabrielle could only shout and curse right now, she would have already done so. But her job and integrity were on the line, so she just bottled up all her rage.
How could she not be angry? Wang Hao decided to use all that time in three hours to loot other teams!
With the Soul Exterminating Lightning on his hands, each of the teams that Wang Hao met easily succumbed to his demands.
He managed to ‘attack’ 18 teams, each one of them giving out all their valuables to him. As for Huo Huangdi, he had defeated only 4 teams while Siwang Wangzi only managed 2. Their win count could be higher, if not for Wang Hao’s unstoppable rush.
Gabrielle started despising Wang Hao more and more from seeing all his antics.
“Hmmph, if this evil man meets Huo Huangdi or Siwang Wangzi, he will be done for!” Gabrielle looked at the screen hopefully, wishing that this scenario will happen.
Another hour passed by, and Wang Hao now looted 22 teams. At this time, only 7 teams remain, with SIwang Wangzi defeating one more.
Gabrielle could see the confusion on Siwang Wangzi and Huo Huangdi’s face as they realized that the teams they are encountering were way fewer than the statistical average.
Both teams adopted a solemn expression on their faces as they realized that there must be a powerful group that managed to defeat more than 10 teams in just 4 hours. They must be wary of such team.
As for which team was that, they did not put Wang Hao’s team on their guesses. For Siwang Wangzi, it was probably Huo Huangdi while Huo Huangdi reckons that it was Siwang Wangzi’s team that was doing all the damage.
Both of their teams increased their vigilance as they continued ascending.
Siwang Wangzi’s team stopped when they saw a group walking straight towards them. When Siwang Wangzi saw who the leader of the group was, his eyes lit up as killing intent erupted from him.
He raised a lantern, that was spouting a dark miasma as he solemnly declared,
“Today is the day of your disappearance Wang Hao!”
“Yes this is it!” Gabrielle started clapping happily in her mind as she saw Wang Hao confronting Siwang Wangzi. She looked to Bob as she asked,
“Between this two, who do you think will win?”
“Hmm…” Bob looked indecisive as it continued talking. “Wang Hao has the Soul Exterminating Lighting, which can destroy souls. But Siwang Wangzi was holding the Ghost King Lamp, which strengthens the soul of its holder. Who wins among them depends on the strength of their chosen weapon.”
“So it depends whether the spear can shatter the rock, or if the rock can snap the spear.” Gabrielle gave this analogy to make the audience understand Bob’s analysis.
“Exactly. Now, let’s see wh- Holy Skull!” Bob once again cursed as all the commentators saw something that made them jump up in fear.
A crack opened in the sky as a milky white fog poured out of it. The fog may seem weak, but Gabrielle felt dread upon seeing this fog.
“S**t! It’s the Dream Mist! How come it appeared here!” Bob was extremely terrified as it saw the Dream Mist pouring down the trial mountain.
“Oh no! It’s going to swallow us too!”
Gabrielle, along with Bob and Krull tried to use their talisman to initiate a teleportation. But the mist travelled too fast for them.
The audience could only stare silently as the Dream Mist swallowed the whole trial grounds. 5 minutes later, the mist went back to the crack. Once all the Dream Mist were gone, the crack in the sky closed, leaving almost no indication that it appeared.
The only evidence for the arrival of the mist was the fact that all the souls in the trial grounds disappeared.
