Chapter 1381 - 1381 Water Wall
“He dared to disrespect King Yu.”
“Are you allowed to look like that in front of King Yu?”
“Anyone who disrespects royalty will become an enemy of the Xia Clan.”
The people next to the youth started shouting angrily, one after the other. They all possessed overbearing auras, and they all had varied amounts of King Aura.
A King Aura wasn’t merely a descriptive term. It was a sort of power practiced by the Xia Clan’s royal family. They didn’t just use it to attack. They could also use it to stun people and let fright and panic well up in their hearts.
The infuriated youth’s King Aura took a physical shape and formed a ferocious dragon that bared its fangs and brandished its claws.
Jiang Chen still didn’t take any action, while Ao Yue’s expression became gloomy. She raised up her head and a sonorous dragon’s roar reverberated in the world.
“The ancient ruins’ entrances will be opened at noon. Anyone who can’t reach them by that time will be deemed as someone who has forfeited.”
There were three Martial Saints, and their leader was a middle-aged man with an attractive look and heroic air. He was wearing a dignified and ice-cold look, and, while looking at him, everyone couldn’t help but think about the four words, strictly impartial and incorruptible.
As for the other Martial Saints, they were white-haired old men.
“The situation is as it has been explained to you. The entrances are divided into three grades, and their quotas are, in order: 10, 50, and limitless.”
“Our time is limited, and you won’t compete one by one. This is why…”
After the middle-aged man spoke, he raised up his right arm and the mountain’s stream was raised by him up into the air. The stream went through a transformation, and it was turned into two water walls of the same height but different thicknesses.
“You must pass through it and step into the corresponding entrance.”
“If the number of people that passes through it has surpassed the quota, an elimination competition will be carried out.”
Upon hearing the middle-aged man’s words, most people looked at each other in dismay, and they all found it difficult to believe what he had said. “Wouldn’t it be easy for people at their realm level to pass through such water walls?”
“I will go over first.”
Someone couldn’t wait any longer, and he flew up toward the water wall leading to the high-grade entrance.
“An accident will occur,” Jiang Chen said subconsciously. Martial Saints weren’t fools, and the water wall was obviously not as simple as it seemed.
The guy possessed an imposing manner, and he used his whole power, while leaving a long trail of air behind him. But when he entered the water wall, he didn’t manage to pass through it as smoothly as he had imagined.
As a splashing sound could be heard, the guy instantly lost his power and wasn’t able to move by even a little inch in the water wall.
While the crowd was observing the guy, he started drowning, and he struggled with his whole might. After a short while passed, the middle-aged man released him. If he had been slightly later, this impulsive guy would have died.
As the crowd looked at the water wall with a thickness reaching 50 yards, they all realized that this affair was anything but simple.
However, the thickness of the water wall at the middle-grade entrance only reached 20 yards, and it seemed easier in comparison to the other one.
“You should assess your own abilities and act accordingly. If you fail, you won’t have the chance to try again.”
The middle-aged man didn’t explain the water walls to them, and he announced the start calmly.
Many people hesitated because they didn’t have any understanding of the water walls, and it wasn’t easy for them to decide.
If they couldn’t pass the 50-yard water wall, they would have to take the most ordinary entrance. But they still weren’t resigned to go just with the 20-yard water wall.
At this moment, someone obviously had to take the lead, and it was fortunate that there were many arrogant talented youths among so many people. Some of them started entering the water walls one after another.
These people’s outcomes were the same as the first guy’s. They all suffered great obstruction within the water wall and couldn’t use their magical powers. They could only swim forward.
The water’s obstruction was more terrible than they had imagined, and most people would become powerless after they had swum through half of it, and bubbles could be seen coming out of their mouths.
Martial-grade experts, who were usually able to hold their breath for several hours, seemed like ordinary mortals within the water wall.
After a short while, the first batch of challengers failed thoroughly, and what was surprising was that they were all experts of the third-rank group.
“It’s an entrance with only ten quotas, and it’s really no joking matter,” someone spoke with emotion.
