The Spine of the Dragon Horse
Zhuowen, a new student of this year, had reached the ninety-ninth step in his first attempt at the Dragon Horse Challenge. He had reached the height that Lang Yao had reached three times.
Everyone was shocked. No one had expected that Zhuo Wen would be able to reach such a height. This was an outcome that no one had expected.
"Ninety-ninth step?" Master Tusita came back to his senses. His right hand was trembling slightly, showing that he was not calm.
Lang Yao also stood up and stared at Zhuowen's back. The shock in his heart could only be described as turbulent waves. Even his heart had begun to tremble.
He had reached the height after three attempts, but Zhuowen had reached it in one attempt. The gap was not small.
Zhuo Wen stood silently on the 44th step with his brows knit together slightly, and his countenance was slightly ghastly pale. Earlier, he'd taken nine steps in one go, and even he felt suffocated in his chest and had a splitting headache, causing him to feel extremely uncomfortable.
"This kid is really amazing to be able to reach the ninety-ninth step!
Lan Miao, you have accepted a good disciple. Although he failed this time, he might be able to reach the sixth level on his second attempt. "Master Tusita sighed softly and looked at Master Lan Miao.
Master Tusita was also envious of Master Lan Miao's luck to be able to accept such a talented disciple like Zhuowen. He sighed in his heart. Why didn't he have such good luck?
Master Tian Yi and Master Wu Kong had similar reactions. Their eyes were filled with envy. It was already good enough for Master Tusita to accept a genius like Lang Yao. Now, Master Lan Miao had accepted a genius who was even more talented than Lang Yao.
Master Lan Miao smiled faintly and said, "Perhaps Zhuowen can create a miracle."
As soon as these words were spoken, the pupils of the three masters constricted slightly. Among them, Master Tusita frowned slightly and said, "Lan Miao!
Are you saying that this kid can climb the Dragon Horse's back on his first attempt? "
"Why?
Do you think it's impossible? "Master Lan Miao asked.
Master Tusita and the other two smiled embarrassedly. There was a trace of disbelief in their eyes. Being able to reach the ninety-ninth step on his first attempt was enough to shock them. As for the Dragon Horse's back, it was basically impossible.
Awoo!
The moment he reached the ninety-ninth step, the Dragon Horse Shadow in the void roared angrily again. It stomped its front hooves and an extremely terrifying yellow river gushed out violently, sweeping towards Zhuowen.
Zhuowen stood tall and looked at the surging yellow river. His gaze was extremely solemn. The power of the yellow river was extremely terrifying. Previously, Lang Yao had failed under the impact of the yellow river and fell into the void.
"We have to stop this Yellow River!"
Zhuowen took in a deep breath as an extremely rich glow erupted from his eyes. Soon after, he began to circulate the 'Ten Thousand Expansion Scripture' within his body. The Mental Energy within his Niwan Palace actually gushed out in countless strands. Every strand was comparable to a perfect grade 0 Arcana Master.
The 'Ten Thousand Expansion Scripture' was a powerful Secret Spirit Technique that could split one's Mental Energy into nearly ten thousand strands. Moreover, every strand was comparable to the Mental Energy of an Arcana Master of the same level. It was an extremely powerful Secret Spirit Technique.
Up till now, Zhuowen had already split the Mental Energy within his Niwan Palace into nearly a thousand strands. His Mental Energy was much more powerful than an Arcana Master of the same level. In a sense, he was much more powerful than Lang Yao.
"Zhuowen is going to lose!"
Lang Yao shook his head and muttered softly. He was well aware of how terrifying the yellow river beneath the Dragon Horse's feet was. Back then, even though he had given it his all, he was still defeated by its power.
Although he was slightly shocked that Zhuowen could also reach the ninety-ninth step, he did not think that Zhuowen was much stronger than him. At most, Zhuowen was on par with him. Even he could not withstand the power of the yellow river, let alone Zhuowen.
The others also shook their heads. Everyone had experienced the terror of the yellow river when Lang Yao was charging through the Dragon Horse. Now that Zhuowen was facing it again, they were afraid that he would not fare any better than Lang Yao.
Just when everyone was not optimistic about Zhuowen, the yellow river had already arrived in front of Zhuowen and submerged him in an instant.
The moment the yellow river submerged Zhuowen, everyone revealed an expression that they had expected it. Obviously, everyone thought that Zhuowen would not have a chance to turn the tables under the power of the yellow river.
Boom!
Just when everyone thought that Zhuo Wen would fall from the Yellow River, the Yellow River above him suddenly started to churn. Then, countless amounts of Yellow River water flew out and the terrifying Yellow River was annihilated into countless fine powder. Then, a tall and straight figure was revealed.
At that moment, Zhuowen was enveloped by nearly a thousand strands of Mental Energy. He suddenly stepped out into the void. His long hair fluttered in the wind and his eyes were indifferent. Then, under everyone's gaze, he took a step and stepped on the Dragon Horse's spine.
Awoo!
The Dragon Horse roared angrily and twisted its body in the void. It wanted to use the twisting force to get rid of Zhuo Wen. However, Zhuo Wen was like a sticky candy. He stuck to the Dragon Horse's back so tightly that it could not get rid of him.
Hiss! Hiss!
Hiss! Looking at this scene, everyone below sucked in a breath of cold air. Zhuowen had actually climbed onto the Dragon Horse's spine. Moreover, looking at his performance, it seemed like he did not find it particularly difficult.
"Haha!
Tusita, I've said it before. Zhuowen might be able to create a miracle. "Grandmaster Lan Miao suddenly laughed. Moreover, he laughed quite happily.
Although he had high hopes for Zhuowen before, he was still a little uncertain in his heart. But now, the uncertainty in his heart had completely disappeared because Zhuowen had finally climbed onto the Dragon Horse's spine.
Grandmaster Tusita and the other two opened their mouths but did not know what to say. Only the lingering shock in their eyes remained.
On the other hand, Lang Yao, who was standing beside Grandmaster Tusita, was stunned on the spot. His lips trembled slightly, showing the turbulent emotions in his heart.
In the void, Zhuowen stood firmly on the Dragon Horse. He realized that the Dragon Horse's spine was only a step away from the sixth level. Currently, he only needed to take a step forward to reach the sixth level.
However, he did not do so. Instead, he stood quietly on the Dragon Horse's spine and stared at the strange pattern that was formed by the black and white dots on the spine.
"It is indeed the River Diagram. However, it is incomplete and not complete." Zhuowen muttered softly as a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"I wonder what will happen if I complete the River Diagram?"
With this thought, Zhuowen could not help but stretch out his right hand. Surging mental strength gathered on his right hand as he gently began to fill in the missing parts of the River Diagram on the Dragon Horse's spine.
"What's wrong with Zhuowen?
Why hasn't he entered the sixth level? "
Grandmaster Lan Miao muttered to himself in confusion as he looked at the figure that was still on the Dragon Horse's spine.
The rest of the people also had strange expressions on their faces. Clearly, they did not understand Zhuowen's actions.
"This kid … is drawing on the Dragon Horse's spine?
What is this kid trying to do?
The pattern on the Dragon Horse's spine was personally drawn by Grandmaster Mu Feng. This kid dares to change it without permission. This is really disgraceful. "
Grandmaster Tusita was stunned at first, but soon after, his eyes revealed a trace of shock and anger. He stomped his foot and rushed toward Zhuowen.
Great Master Tian Yi and Great Master Wu Kong were both shocked and furious. They followed behind Great Master Tusita and flew into the air. Only Great Master Lan Miao frowned. With a shake of his sleeve, he blocked Great Master Tusita and the other two.
"Lan Miao!
What are you trying to do?
This kid is doing a disgraceful thing. You want to protect him? "Grandmaster Tusita glared at Grandmaster Lan Miao in front of him and said coldly.
Grandmaster Lan Miao shook his head and said, "It's not that I want to protect him, but Zhuowen might be supplementing the pattern on the Dragon Horse. When Grandmaster Mu Feng built the Arcane Tower, he built the Dragon Horse's shadow between the fifth and sixth levels. At that time, he lamented that he was unable to draw the complete Dragon Horse pattern."
"In other words, the pattern on the Dragon Horse's spine was incomplete at that time. Zhuowen's actions should be to complete this incomplete pattern."
Grandmaster Tusita was stunned at first, but soon after, he sneered and said, "The pattern on the Dragon Horse's spine is indeed incomplete. I know this, but Lan Miao, aren't you trusting this kid too much?
A mere junior can complete the pattern that Grandmaster Mu Feng was unable to draw. Aren't you joking? "
"That's right!
Lan Miao, although this Zhuowen is your disciple, you can't protect him like this!
The Dragon Horse Diagram was drawn by Master Mu Feng. If this Zhuo Wen messes around and changes it, we won't be able to bear the consequences if Master Mu Feng blames us. "Great Master Tian Yi and Great Master Wu Kong both agreed.
Grandmaster Lan Miao's eyes darkened. The cultivation of Grandmaster Tusita and the other two was not much different from his. If the three of them attacked together, he could not stop them alone.
In fact, he also felt a little depressed about Zhuowen's abrupt actions, but he believed that Zhuowen was not a reckless person, so he chose to believe in Zhuowen at the first moment and intercepted Grandmaster Tusita and the other two.
"Tian Yi, Wu Kong!
The two of you stop Lan Miao. I'll go stop Zhuowen. We can't let him destroy the Dragon Horse pattern at will. "
Grandmaster Tusita said to the two Grandmasters behind him. With a wave of his sleeve, he swept towards Zhuowen like a gust of wind. Grandmaster Lan Miao wanted to stop him, but he was stopped by Grandmaster Tian Yi and Grandmaster Wu Kong.
"Lan Miao!
You'd better not meddle in this matter. After all, this Zhuowen is too bold. He actually dares to tamper with the Dragon Horse pattern. He's simply too audacious. "
At this moment, Lang Yao and the others on the open space also reacted. They all stared at Zhuowen who was constantly drawing the River Diagram on the Dragon Horse's spine with a strange look.
"Is this Zhuowen courting death?
How dare he touch the Dragon Horse pattern. "Lang Yao shook his head with a strange look in his eyes.
