Chapter 145: The First Trial, Gale Bridge
Lin Xuan thought for a moment. It seemed that the only solution was for him to enter the Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple and deliberately lead others to discover the Ghost Mother.
“I’ll figure it out after entering the Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple. I’m quite curious about the treasures that are inside.”
Lin Xuan turned around and left, continuing to sell potions in the market.
Soon, news spread from the mouths of the Construction Division members.
The Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple was about to open. All martial artists could spend 3,000 battle merits to obtain the right to enter the Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple.!!
These 3,000 battle merits were neither little nor a lot.
It could still be gained if one worked hard.
However, one could also buy a good purple equipment with 3,000 battle merits.
However, after entering the Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple, one still had to at least pass the first trial in order to obtain the reward.
In other words, if one felt that they could not even pass the first trial, it was better not to enter.
It would only be a waste of battle merits.
Even so, many people still signed up.
Everyone followed suit and wanted to take a gamble.
Lin Xuan and the others also went to register.
Next, he quietly waited for the Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple to open.
In the past few days, Xiang Tianxiu had been challenging Flame Explosion and Cold Domain every day, but he would always be rejected.
Eight days later, it was finally time for the Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple to open.
In the past few days, Lin Xuan had already read through all the records of the Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple that the Construction Division had made five years ago. He remembered all the things to take note of.
As usual, everyone was doing their own things.
However, all of a sudden, a shocking dragon roar sounded from the ground and resounded in the sky.
The entire Little Spirit Mountain seemed to be trembling, as if something was about to surge out from the ground.
Rumble!
The ground trembled and the rocks collapsed.
The martial artists were very surprised.
This dragon roar was a sign that the Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple was about to open.
The martial artists rushed towards the sound.
Lin Xuan also put away his stall and immediately rushed over.
From Colony Two and Colony One, Seventh Realm martial artists also rushed over one after another.
Soon, they discovered a zen temple that suddenly stood more than 100 kilometers away from the third gathering place.
They could see Buddhist light surging out from the antique temple.
The walls of the Zen temple were even engraved with countless divine dragons.
The door of the Zen temple was more than five meters tall and was made of sandalwood. It was heavy and thick.
Some martial artists stepped forward to break it open, but the door did not budge at all.
“I didn’t know that the Zen Temple was so small. What kind of Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple is this? Can the nine trials really be carried out in there?”
“Idiot, it looks small, but there’s actually a small world inside.”
“Why isn’t the door opening? Could it be that it’s not time yet?”
The martial artists discussed excitedly.
Lin Xuan had a strange expression.
It was indeed unexpected for the Ghost Mother to give birth in such a solemn place.
Moreover, it was even stranger for the Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple to suddenly open when the Ghost Mother was about to give birth.
“I won’t get eaten by this temple, right?”
A terrifying thought rose in Lin Xuan’s mind.
Five years ago, when the Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple opened, more than 5,000 martial artists had entered to train. More than 500 people had died, and even more people were injured.
The Construction Division had a rather terrifying description of the corpses of the deceased.
“The body will disappear quickly in various ways in a minute.”
However, because many martial artists had at least passed the first trial and obtained many treasures, no one thought too much about where those corpses had gone.
“I have to be more careful.”
Lin Xuan became even more vigilant.
At this moment, Old Wu and Li Weiguo passed through the crowd and arrived in front of the crowd.
The two of them looked carefully at the Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple and said solemnly, “The Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple has just risen from the ground. It probably hasn’t absorbed enough energy. The door will open later.”
With that said, Old Wu turned to the martial artists.
“Everyone, I think you should know that the Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple is not a place filled with treasures. There are nine trials here. The further you go, the more difficult and dangerous it will be! Moreover, every trial might lead to death!”
“If you want to leave the Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple, you can’t leave halfway. you have to at least pass the first trial in one piece.”
“Therefore, I’ll give you one last piece of advice. If you’re not confident enough in your strength, it’s best to give up. We’ll return the battle merits you previously spent to sign up.”
Old Wu’s expression was solemn.
Be it the members of the Construction Division or the civilian martial artists, they were all from the Xia Country.
He naturally did not want too many people to die inside.
Seeing Old Wu so serious, many martial artists immediately wanted to retreat and chose to give up.
Three to four hundred people left one after another.
However, most people still gritted their teeth and continued to persevere.
He decided to give it a try.
If he did not seize this opportunity, he would definitely regret it in the future!
Old Wu sighed and did not insist.
“Lin Xuan, you want to go in too?” Ye Yuqiu was somewhat surprised to see him.
That night, Lin Xuan had used the huge lightning to kill many ghosts. Ye Yuqiu no longer treated him as a logistician who was powerless to protect himself. However, she still felt that it would be too dangerous for Lin Xuan to enter.
Lin Xuan smiled, knowing that she was just worried for him. “I’m just going in to take a look. I might come out after passing two or three trials. I know my limits.”
Only then did Ye Yuqiu nod in relief.
It was fine if Lin Xuan was only an ordinary logistician.
However, it was rare to see a logistician like Lin Xuan who had golden medicinal skill and golden forging skill.
It would be a pity if anything happened to him in the Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple.
Everyone waited quietly for the door to open.
Lin Xuan looked at the message.
He could see the exact time the Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple opened through the news of the Little Spirit Mountain.
When the last second passed, another world-shaking dragon roar sounded from the Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple.
Everyone was in awe from the bottom of their hearts.
Although they had never seen a real divine dragon, when this sound entered their ears, coupled with the name of the Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple and the relief on the wall, they instinctively felt that it was a dragon roar.
Boom!
The door creaked and slowly opened, as if two giants were struggling to push it open.
A screen of light appeared in front of everyone, dreamlike and like a bubble.
“The Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple has opened. It’s time for you guys to begin your trials,” Old Wu said loudly.
It was unknown who led the way, but everyone immediately rushed into the light screen.
Lin Xuan was not so anxious and followed the crowd in.
The world around him spun.
By the time Lin Xuan reacted, he was already standing on solid ground with four bridges in front of him.
The four bridges were huge and wide, and they did not seem to be dangerous at all.
The river below seemed very calm, but Lin Xuan could sense the danger with just a glance.
Lin Xuan looked in all directions and discovered that his surroundings were filled with fog.
Some people walked into the fog and returned to their spots in confusion.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan nodded slightly.
The fog had also appeared five years ago. The purpose of their existence was to let the trainees train and not cause trouble.
In front of him was the first trial, the Gale Bridge.
The martial artists had to resist the wind and walk to the other side to successfully pass the first trial.
The winds of the four bridges were different.
The wind of the first bridge would cut one’s body, causing one to keep bleeding.
The violent wind of the second bridge carried sand. The sand would gather on one’s body and decrease one’s speed. Every once in a while, one had to shatter the sand with a huge force.
The wind of the third bridge would corrode one’s mind. Only those with high spirit could successfully pass.
The local wind speed of the fourth bridge was different. Moreover, it was sometimes fast and sometimes slow. One needed to react extremely quickly to avoid the high-speed wind.
These four bridges clearly took care of the martial artists with four different attributes.
Lin Xuan swept his gaze over and knew that the trial of the Gale Bridge had not changed much compared to five years ago.
Of course, the only small change was… the difficulty had increased by 200%.
Lin Xuan looked ahead. There were already martial artists who had chosen a bridge that was suitable for them.
Ye Yuqiu looked at them. “Everyone, let’s go on the bridge too.”
Xiang Tianxiu rubbed his fists and said confidently, “I’ll wait for you in front. Flame Explosion, Cold Domain, don’t forget our agreement!”
With that said, he headed straight for the third bridge.
Xiang Tianxiu strode on the bridge. The wind that corroded his mind did not threaten him at all.
After walking for a while, he even began to jog.
This speed made the other martial artists on the third bridge envious.
These martial artists all covered their heads and felt as if something was about to drill into their brains.
Lin Xuan nodded slightly.
It seemed that even if the difficulty increased by 200%, it would be no different for powerful people.
However, this was only the first trial. He wondered how difficult the subsequent trials would be.
Lin Xuan and his avatars each chose a bridge that was suitable for them.
Of course, to him, all four bridges were the same.
After all, his avatar had inherited 100% of his attributes and skills.
The only thing his avatar did not inherit was the High-Level Avatar Technique. This was because his avatar was created through the High-Level Avatar Technique after all. It could not be used indefinitely.
However, in order to maintain his persona, it was better for each of them to choose a suitable bridge.
Shield Ghost and Brother Milk took the first bridge.
Shield Ghost had a high Constitution, and the speed of the bleeding could not keep up with his recovery speed.
Brother Milk could use his skill to recover his health.
Flame Explosion and Cold Domain took the third bridge.
The two of them both had high Spirit and could resist the violent wind that corroded their minds.
Poison Blade took the fourth bridge.
His superb Agility allowed him to quickly dodge the wind that was sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
Lin Xuan thought for a moment and also walked onto the fourth bridge.
On the first bridge, martial artists kept howling because their skin was cut by the wind.
Many people even walked with blood all the way and were rather miserable.
Shield Ghost walked at the front. Some people tried to hide behind him and used Shield Ghost’s Lion Heart Tower Shield to avoid the wind.
Feng Zhuang was also on the first bridge. When he saw this scene, he shouted angrily, “Don’t you care about your image anymore? This will make the wind that lands on Shield Ghost even stronger!”
The martial artist could not help but snort. “Shield Ghost is so kind. What’s wrong with him blocking the wind for us?”
The next moment, Shield Ghost jogged and disappeared from the sight of these martial artists in large strides. “Sorry, I’m not used to playing the role of a kind person.”
The martial artist was immediately dumbfounded and could only continue to bleed as he advanced.
After a while, this martial artist saw a healer beside him. From time to time, this healer would cast a recovery spell on himself and actually got quite far.
The martial artist said shamelessly, “Brother Milk, everyone says that you’re a kind person. Can you use a recovery skill on me too?”
Brother Milk smiled in embarrassment. “Aren’t you embarrassed to say such a thing?”
The martial artist :”…”
Feng Zhuang and the others laughed when they saw this.
This was the trial of the Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple, and the difficulty had even increased by 200%. Although the Gale Bridge was not difficult, who knew if it would become more difficult later?
Moreover, with a time bomb like Ghost Mother, Lin Xuan naturally had to maintain his peak state at all times.
