C45 Provocation
The training grounds was considered to be a Great Desolate Empire, but it wasn't a local power. There was no one guarding it, and only a few Martial Cultivator s were arranged to maintain order.
However, the training grounds was located right next to the Marquis Mansion, in the center of the county city.
Moreover, the effects of the training grounds were not to be trifled with. One could test one's strength, and the result of the test would be synchronized with all the training grounds in the entire county.
To be able to know his level in the entire county, he would also be the one that he wished for. However, most people, after knowing the result, would inevitably be shocked a little. After all, there were hidden talents within the Zhanshan County City, and there were many geniuses.
At this time, it was already noon. The stadium was even more popular than Gu Xuan had imagined. Not only were the six trial platforms occupied, even the spectating platforms were densely packed with people.
Above the people on each stage, there was a List and ten names were listed on it. All of them were from the same age group as Su Yun.
Regardless of whether it was the fifteen years old stage or the twenty year old stage, all of them were first place for Zhou Juechu.
"I never thought that there would be another genius within this Zhanshan County City."
Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows, it was not the first time he heard this name, the holder of the best results in Blood Deity'S Lake was Zhou Juechu, the first in terms of talent and strength.
"Look, someone has made it onto the Level Rankings!" Hiss! "Ninth place!"
Just as Gu Xuan found a place to sit, he heard someone shouting excitedly beside him. Gu Xuan turned to look towards the voice, only to realize that it was a twenty year old platform, and the person who was up there, Gu Xuan was familiar with. It was none other than the Su Family Su Huatian.
At this time, Su Huatian was seated cross-legged on the far right side of the arena. Above his head, his name was impressively ranked ninth on the ranking board.
But very quickly, both his and the eighth name's jumped up and down at the same time, immediately changing places. After exchanging places, Su Huatian's name did not stop moving, and quickly rushed to third place.
"It's too terrifying, he actually rushed to the third place in an instant, this is a twenty year old arena, and Su Huatian just got on the stage, and he could already rush to the third place!"
"What's wrong with that? Big Brother Huantian was ranked third on the 19th step before. It's quite normal for him to have such results."
"Elder Brother Huantian was ranked third on the 19th towering platform, and he was ranked third in the 20th year. However, the difference between the two is just too great. The third is already the limit."
The light on Su Huatian's body continued to flicker, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, which meant that he had not completely performed in the Illusory Realm of the Trial, but his rank had not increased again, and was only stable at third place.
The first place was undoubtedly Zhou Juechu, but the second place was a name Gu Xuan had never seen before: Liu Shen.
Bang!
A noise came from Su Huatian's stage, the light emitting from Su Huatian's body disappeared, and the trial ended.
Su Huatian opened his eyes, revealing a look of satisfaction. He was eighteen years old, and for him to achieve such a result on the twentieth stage, it was already quite good, even though he was far from the two on the stage.
However, Su Huatian did not have the confidence to surpass them, because the difference between him and the two was not because of their age, but because the age of the two on the test platform was a little younger than him.
The ages of the representatives of the six arenas were different. Their ages exceeded the limit of the arenas and they were unable to participate in the examination on the arenas. However, there was no problem if their ages were below the limit.
In other words, a twenty year old Martial Cultivator was not able to participate in the competition of a nineteen year old Martial Cultivator, but a nineteen year old Martial Cultivator was able to enter the twenty year old group, and could compete with the older Martial Cultivator.
Standing up, Su Huatian's gaze landed on Gu Xuan who was at the side of the spectating platform. He was stunned for a moment, and revealed a playful smile.
"Gu Xuan, you have always been a self-proclaimed genius, why don't you try out this stage and let me see whether this genius is real or fake?" Su Huatian looked at Gu Xuan and said with a cold smile.
Last time at the Beichen Trading Company, Gu Xuan caused him to lose face in front of Zhou Mei, causing Zhou Mei, who was originally together with him politely, to become neither cold nor calm. This also caused Su Huatian to hold deep hatred towards Gu Xuan.
"That's exactly what you want!"
Gu Xuan also laughed as he stood up, he wanted to test the changes in his strength after breaking through, since Su Huatian had requested such a thing, there was no harm in fulfilling his wish.
"Very good!" The corners of Su Huatian's mouth raised into a cold smile. He activated the Strength of Fire on his chest and let out a loud shout. Under the assistance of the Strength of Fire, the sound wave surged out like a river, shaking the remaining five Martial Cultivator on the stage until their faces became deathly pale, and they retreated from the trial.
The five Martial Cultivator s were all burning with anger, but after seeing that it was Su Huatian who had alarmed them, they swallowed back the words that were about to escape their mouths.
Su Huatian sneered: "All of you, scram down. Today, all six of your platforms are mine!"
The five of them flew into a rage, but Gu Xuan actually took out five Energy Recovery Pills, and with a flick of his finger, he flew towards the five of them.
"I am truly sorry. I only wanted to say a few trials, yet there were already people who impatiently wanted to work for me. This Energy Recovery Pill can be considered as my compensation for him."
The five of them took the Energy Recovery Pills gratefully, causing Su Huatian's face to turn green. He had originally wanted to have Gu Xuan attract their enmity, but he didn't expect that he would actually make a fool of himself.
"There's no point in speaking any further. Let's go up to the trial platform!" He did not seem to be Gu Xuan's match, but to a Martial Cultivator, the most important thing was still strength.
Gu Xuan's eyes swept across the six test platforms. His current body was only fifteen years old, so he could actually enter any of the six stages.
In another two months, he would be sixteen years old, and at that time, the fifteen year old arena would lose any qualifications to continue participating in the trial, which would also mean that he would be disqualified from entering the Blood Deity'S Lake once more.
Thinking about it, Gu Xuan did not hesitate at all and headed towards the 15 year old arena.
Many people were already greatly disappointed when they saw this scene. Gu Xuan seemed to have made a comparison with Su Huatian, who should have been on the arena when he was twenty years old, but now, he was only on a stage of the same age.
Su Huatian's first test was when he was sixteen, and he basically did not have a fifteen year old result. It was simply impossible for Gu Xuan to compare with him when he stepped onto the stage, and he was also third. How could he determine who was stronger and who was weaker?
As for Gu Xuan entering the top two, this was something they had never even thought about. Surpassing Liu Shen? Although there was only a gap of one rank between the second and the third place, everyone knew that the gap between each rank was huge.
