Chapter 35

The Challenge

As the top five were decided, the atmosphere in the Martial Arts Practice Field became even more heated. The spectators all knew that with the top five being decided, the following battles would only become more and more exciting. The remaining top five contestants were naturally the elites of the Zhuo Family!

Some of the leaders of the smaller factions could also sense that the top five were all at the Spirit Detecting Realm. Moreover, Zhuo Tian was at the Soul Transformation Realm. This caused the leaders of the smaller factions to inwardly smack their lips. It was obvious that the lineup of the younger generation of the Zhuo Family made them feel extremely fearful!

"Since there are a total of five contestants left, one of them will draw an empty lot. The disciple who draws the empty lot will directly advance to the top three!"

The old man coldly looked at the top five contestants in front of him. Then, he took out a wooden cylinder and circulated the energy in his body. The five wooden lots in the cylinder immediately flew into the hands of the top five contestants!

Zhuowen casually caught the wooden lot that was flying towards him. When he turned his hand over to look, he was immediately stunned. The empty lot that the old man spoke of was actually lying in his hand!

"The disciple with the empty lot, step forward!" The old man swept his gaze over the top five contestants and sternly shouted!

Shrugging his shoulders, Zhuowen took a light step forward. As Zhuowen stepped forward, many gazes in the Martial Arts Practice Field gathered on him!

When everyone saw Zhuo Wen's face clearly, a strange expression appeared on their faces. They also didn't expect that the lucky person who got the empty lot was actually this youth who was in the limelight in front of them!

"Lucky guy, I hope you can keep up this good luck!" Zhuo Tian coldly snorted and said indifferently.

Zhuo Xiang 'er and Zhuo Meixue's beautiful eyes flashed with a strange light as they looked at Zhuowen. They were clearly surprised by the former's good luck!

"The disciples who obtained the empty lot can return to the platform to rest. The remaining four contestants, prepare to fight!"

Hearing this, Zhuowen pursed his lips and very consciously returned to his seat. However, his gaze was somewhat cautious as he looked at Zhuo Tian's figure. He wanted to see just how strong Zhuo Tian, who had reached the Soul Transformation Realm, was!

As the four disciples were ready, the entire Martial Arts Practice Field became lively again. Many spectators began to cheer for their favorite contestants. It looked very lively!

"Begin!"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, Zhuo Tian and the other three stepped onto their respective stages. Zhuo Tian's opponent was the silent Zhuo Lin Shuang, while Zhuo Xiang 'er and Zhuo Mei Xue, the two extremely popular girls, were his opponents!

Zhuo Linshuang had a bitter expression on her face. Even though she knew that her road to the Family Competition would end at the top five, she did not expect that her opponent would be Zhuo Tian, who was known as the number one person in the inner courtyard!

Taking a deep breath, Zhuo Linshuang cupped her fists at Zhuo Tian and said fearfully, "Please guide me, Senior Brother Zhuo Tian!"

Zhuo Tian's expression was indifferent. He nodded slightly and said calmly, "One move!

I only need one move to deal with trash like you! "

Hearing Zhuo Tian's arrogant words, no matter how good Zhuo Linshuang's temper was, she couldn't help but turn red in anger. She coldly snorted and said, "Even though Senior Brother Zhuo Tian is very strong, you think you can defeat me with one move? Isn't that too arrogant!"

"Arrogant?

Hehe, that's because I have the ability to be arrogant. Now, I'll let you see the difference between the Spirit Detecting Realm and the Soul Transformation Realm! "

Zhuo Tian stood with his hands behind his back. His eyes focused and a long spear as tall as a person shot out from between his eyebrows. It was Zhuo Tian's armor soul, the Wind God's Spear!

The moment the Wind God's Spear appeared, the entire spear was covered in layers of wind barriers. These wind barriers were completely formed by sharp wind blades. Waves of cold light constantly flashed within the barriers. It looked very terrifying!

"Go!"

The corner of Zhuo Tian's mouth curled up slightly. The Wind God's Spear that was covered in wind barriers suddenly turned into a cold light. With a "sou" sound, it flew straight towards Zhuo Linshuang. The sound of air exploding continuously could be heard. It was clear that this spear's power was not ordinary!

Zhuo Linshuang's expression changed. She wasn't willing to be outdone. Her right hand suddenly pointed at between her eyebrows and a green tortoise that was half the size of a person suddenly appeared!

"Soul Skill: Tortoise Shield!"

Zhuo Linshuang shouted loudly. The green tortoise's head immediately shrunk and turned into a green tortoise shell in front of Zhuo Linshuang. A huge tortoise shell shield was erected in front of Zhuo Linshuang. From the thickness of the tortoise shell, it was clear that this tortoise shell shield's defense was not ordinary!

However, when the Wind God's Spear and the tortoise shell shield collided, a shocking scene occurred. The tortoise shell shield that looked incomparably hard was actually like paper after colliding with the Wind God's Spear. Traces of cracks instantly appeared on its surface!

With a "kacha" sound, the tortoise shell shield didn't even last a breath of time before it was pierced through by the Wind God's Spear. The huge impact of the collision between the two caused Zhuo Linshuang to spit out a mouthful of blood. With a "wah" sound, she fell off the stage!

The battle between the two was extremely short. Zhuo Tian had indeed only used one move to defeat Zhuo Linshuang, whose cultivation had already reached the Spirit Detecting Realm. Moreover, the spectators discovered that Zhuo Tian didn't even move a single step. The Wind God's Spear didn't even use a soul skill. With just a simple stab, Zhuo Linshuang was defeated!

As long as one had a discerning eye, they would be able to see the huge gap between Zhuo Linshuang and Zhuo Tian!

"As expected of the number one person in the inner courtyard. With just a simple move, he defeated a Spirit Detecting Realm martial artist!"

"This Zhuo Tian's cultivation should have already reached the Soul Changing Realm. As expected of the Zhuo Family, they were actually able to nurture such a young Soul Changing Realm martial artist!"

"It seems like the number one position in this competition will belong to Zhuo Tian. This child's cultivation is far ahead of the other disciples of the Zhuo Family!"

"… …"

On the stage, Zhuowen's brows slightly furrowed. He also didn't expect Zhuo Tian to be so strong. Although he could also defeat Zhuo Linshuang, he couldn't finish her off as easily as Zhuo Tian. It seemed like Zhuo Tian's strength had increased quite a bit after entering the Soul Changing Realm!

"No wonder this Zhuo Tian fellow is so confident. The gap between the Soul Changing Realm and the Spirit Detecting Realm is indeed not small!"

Zhuowen's eyes flickered. He knew that the current Zhuo Tian was definitely an extremely difficult opponent to deal with!

"Congratulations, Second Master. With young master Zhuo Tian's Soul Changing Realm cultivation, the champion of this competition will definitely belong to young master Zhuo Tian!"

"That's right!

In the younger generation of the family, only young master Zhuo Tian's cultivation has reached the Soul Changing Realm. Right now, who among the core disciples can be young master Zhuo Tian's opponent! "

"Tsk tsk!

That's a grade three spirit herb. If young master Zhuo Tian can obtain a grade three spirit herb this time, wouldn't his cultivation increase by quite a bit? At that time, he won't be far from the Nirvana Realm!

Young master Zhuo Tian is only twenty years old. To be able to have such an achievement is already an extreme talent! "

Seeing Zhuo Tian's strong performance, some of the small and medium-sized factions that were originally surrounding Zhuo Dingtian became even more enthusiastic. They kept saying some words of praise!

Although most of these words were flattering, it still made Zhuo Dingtian extremely happy. Which father wouldn't want his son to become a dragon? Seeing Zhuo Tian's outstanding performance, even the gloomy Zhuo Dingtian felt gratified!

Compared to Zhuo Tian's battle which had no suspense, on the other side, the battle between Zhuo Xiang 'er and Zhuo Meixue was filled with suspense!

The two women were both proud daughters of the Zhuo Family. The difference in their cultivation was not that big. Although the quality of Zhuo Xiang 'er's Soul Armor was slightly higher than Zhuo Meixue's, Zhuo Meixue was slightly older than Zhuo Xiang' er. Her rich battle experience had completely made up for the difference in the quality of her Soul Armor!

Zhuo Xiang 'er's Armor Soul was a pure white lotus, and it was called the White Lotus Armor Soul. This kind of Armor Soul could continuously release the power of ice, and the intense ice attribute energy could often seal and imprison the enemy unknowingly!

On the other hand, Zhuo Meixue's Soul Armor was a dark blue flame. It was called the Blue Flame Soul Armor. The characteristics of this Soul Armor were exactly the opposite of Zhuo Xiang 'er's White Lotus Soul Armor!

However, the stalemate between the two was quickly broken by Zhuo Xiang 'er. In the end, Zhuo Xiang' er used all her strength to release the White Lotus Soul Armor's Soul Skill, Thousand Miles of Serene Ice. It completely destroyed Zhuo Meixue's Blue Flame Soul Armor. In the end, Zhuo Meixue unwillingly took the initiative to admit defeat!

At this point, the top three of the family competition had been completely selected. They were Zhuo Tian, Zhuowen, and Zhuo Xiang 'er!

When Zhuo Xiang 'er returned to the platform with a pale face, she found a smiling young man sitting in her seat. She subconsciously said, "Zhuowen, why are you sitting in my seat?"

The young man shrugged and grabbed the girl's jade-like hand. Before the girl could react, a gentle and magnetic voice suddenly sounded in her ear.

"These two pills are called Rejuvenation Pills. Its effect is not inferior to that of your Rejuvenation Vine. Now that you're injured, these pills should be very useful to you!"

After saying that, the young man lightly brushed past the girl without waiting for her to react. The hand that was holding the girl's hand also loosened.

When the girl finally reacted, she found that there were two sparkling and translucent pills in her hand. Presumably, these were the Rejuvenation Pills that the young man spoke of!

Rubbing the pills in her palm, the girl couldn't help but think of the young man's strong hand that grabbed her jade-like hand. For a moment, her maiden heart pounded and a trace of crimson appeared on her porcelain-like delicate face.

"This guy really doesn't want to owe anyone a favor!"

On the platform, Zhuo Family said to Zhuo Xiangding with a face full of smiles, "The strength of this year's family is not bad, much better than last year's. It seems that in the market battle half a year later, our Zhuo Family may be able to achieve a good result!"

"Your daughter and Zhuowen have the greatest potential, while Zhuo Family is the strongest. In the market battle half a year later, our Zhuo Family will definitely surprise the Wang Family and the Chen Family, hehe!"

Zhuo Xiangding was also in a very good mood. His face was full of smiles. After all, he was able to see that the family's younger generation had done well. As the head of the family, Zhuo Xiangding naturally felt gratified!

Following the selection of the top three, the scene suddenly became lively. Many people couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts and began to shout!

Looking at the somewhat chaotic martial arts practice field, Zhuo Xiangding lightly snorted. Along with this snort, a powerful wave of elemental energy spread out and immediately suppressed the chaos in the martial arts practice field!

After witnessing the terrifying strength that Zhuo Xiangding inadvertently displayed, the martial arts practice field suddenly became quiet!

"This family competition can be considered to have come to an end. The top three have also been selected!

There is no point in continuing the competition. I will now announce the rankings. First place is Zhuo Wen, second place is Zhuo Tian, and third place is Zhuo Xiang 'er!

Zhuo Tian will be awarded a third grade spirit herb, while Zhuowen and Zhuo Xiang 'er will be awarded a second grade spirit herb! "

The results announced by Zhuo Xiangding were within everyone's expectations. Zhuo Tian's cultivation had already reached the Soul Transformation Realm. He was like a crane in a flock of chickens in the inner courtyard, so the first place naturally belonged to none other than Zhuo Tian!

However, just as Zhuo Xiangding's voice fell, the originally silent Zhuowen suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Grandfather!

I have some interest in third grade spirit herbs and want to challenge big brother Zhuo Tian!

I wonder if it's possible? "
