Chapter 264: Nightmare Level Difficulty
Translator: Mercurial_ Editor: DarkGem
Almost all the seagod's people who were paying attention to the Continental Battle as well as some humans from the other five continents went crazy. With such a grand competition having such an enormous flaw in its regulations, was there still meaning to the Continental Battle?
Though the fierce protest wasn't just because due to one reason. Among the protestors, there were several angry Flux Masters as well.
In previous Continental Battles, Flux Disciples were just one group of participants. Transcendent Flux Masters, Temporal Flux Masters as well as Nirvana Flux Masters were also divided into three groups. Then, the top ten most powerful people were determined for each of these groups.
But this year's Continental Battle surprisingly didn't include the latter three groups as contestants. The Flux Disciples had become the focus of the entire world, so Flux Masters were naturally angry and resentful.
However, what was the use of their anger, the Alliance refused to pay any attention to them. They simply declared that Gu Tiancheng had forfeited, thus losing the qualifications to proceed with the Continental Battle.
Those people were extremely powerful, completely heartless, and irrefutable!
At that instant, everyone had a sudden sensation that this Continental Battle was going to be completely different. However, since the representative of the Southern Continent, Ocean Emperor sitting on the platform, remained completely silent, the seagod's people also began to gradually quiet down.
This was the first time that even a quasi deity couldn't influence the rules in a competition, for it had too many serious implications. This Continental Battle surpassed the level of normal competitions.
The majority of people then became aware of this point.
"The second contestant is Fan Zhanshan from the Qingshan tribe of Higher Dimensional Continent. You have thirty seconds to choose whether you want to proceed with the test," the representative declared once again with cold face.
An enormous stopwatch appeared above the platform, counting down the seconds.
This time, Fan Zhanshan of the Higher Dimensional Continent didn't disappoint the people and quickly entered the single person transfer channel outside the energy cover.
The next instant, he was transferred inside. He would be isolated during the whole fight, which implied that he would receive no assistance from the outside world. Whether he lived or died would depend solely on him alone.
Reportedly, the energy cover was a domain sage level cover, which meant that even if a Domain Sage attacked it, they wouldn't be able to damage it. Not to mention that there were also more than twenty battle sages, Barbarian Kings, and Ocean Emperor present on the stage.
At this instant, after Fan Zhanshan had been transferred inside, the other transfer channel opposite him was also activated, and one by one, several meter-tall dimensional beasts began to be transferred over.
When the image of these dimensional monsters began to clear up, allowing everyone outside to see what kind of beasts they were, everyone present was left astonished.
"These are barbarous devil claws. My god, it's said that among the rainbow level dimensional beasts, they're the fiercest and cruelest."
"Yeah, apart from king class dimensional beasts, they're the most formidable among the many dimensional beasts."
Many people couldn't stop fear from rising in their hearts once they saw the dimensional beasts coming out of the transfer channel one after another.
Barbarous devil claws were considered as one of the beasts which could make a fluxer flee just at the mere sight of them. But right then, five of them had come out of the transfer channel.
Furthermore, the alliance prohibited the contestants from using flux energy within the energy cover. This was just like leaving no path of survival for the participants.
Only at this point did people realize the enormous disparity between fluxers who had cleared the seventieth level of the Tower of Glory and normal rainbow crystal fluxers.
The majority of people believed that Fan Zhanshan was toast.
Once fluxers lost their flux energy, could they still be called fluxers?
However, Fan Zhanshan didn't despair and took action. He stamped heavily on the ground and shot forward like an artillery shell, like a tiger entering a pack of wolves. He began to rain heavy punches on the barbarous devil claws.
The flesh of the dimensional beasts felt like an extremely thick tire.
Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!
A series of explosive sounds echoed from the energy cover. The five barbarous devil claws, who appeared to be starving, pounced towards Fan Zhanshan in a crazed manner, wishing to tear him to shreds.
However, Fan Zhanshan's footwork and five senses were extremely keen. It was as if he had grown eyes all over his body. He didn't even need to turn around and always kept moving forward, evading every attack from the five barbarous devil claws.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang
Soon, the entire area inside the energy cover was filled with the sounds of the intense battle between Fan Zhanshan and the five barbarous devil claws.
These dimensional beasts were worthy of being called one of the strongest rainbow crystal layer dimensional beasts. They were incomparably tyrannical, and even if Fan Zhanshan had landed more than a hundred punches on their bodies, they still had enough energy to fight him off.
After a quarter of an hour had passed, Fan Zhanshan was breathing heavily. His movements and attack speed began to slow down. The two terrifying claws of the barbarous devil claws had almost ripped him apart several times by now. But his willpower was still firm, and he kept launching punches on the dimensional beasts.
"He can be regarded as pretty good. His physical body is also quite all right. He is quite lacking in terms of endurance and power, but his willpower is quite firm. He can be considered as a material worth nurturing," assessed Glacier Battle Sage who was representing the Northern Continent with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"He is still all right. Although he doesn't have an enormous offensive power and isn't very proficient in fighting against a group, his battle awareness barely meets the standard," Higher Dimensional Continent's Battle Sage agreed, nodding.
If these kind of evaluations by the two battle sages were heard by outsiders playing attention to this battle, they'd would most likely immediately cause an uproar.
What was still alright? Barely meeting the standards?
The combat strength and battle skills displayed by Fan Zhanshan had given a fright to most of the spectators. Especially the fluxers who had also reached rainbow crystal layer. They gave up all hope at this instant.
Was that person still a human?
Was this sort of combat strength expected from a rainbow crystal fluxers?
Let alone five barbarous devil claws, if they encountered even one, being able to escape with their lives intact would already be a giant fortune for them. However, they now discovered that this world's standard was much different. It filled the majority of rainbow crystal fluxers with complete despair.
It must be known that Fan Zhanshan wasn't even using his flux energy. Losing the flux energy could be considered as losing the most reliable source of power for the fluxers. In fact, most of the skills as well as secrets techniques which a person possessed would be rendered useless. However, the person from the Higher Dimensional Continent continued to hold on.
After a long time had passed, the last barbarous devil claw fell after Fan Zhanshan had punched its heart times.
By this time, Fan Zhanshan was covered in blood, both from the beasts he'd killed and his own injuries, gained in the second half of the fight when his movement began to dull slowly. But regardless of what was said, he had prevailed in his first battle, shocking everyone around the world who was watching this test.
In this world, such a terrifying new generation had been hidden. What people had originally called impossible was accomplished by him.
Many people were left speechless by the huge shock.
"This Fan Zhanshan is too formidable, to the extent that I can't even describe with words. Is this the level one must reach before attempting to clear the seventieth level of the Tower of Glory?"
