Swish!

Chu Zhantian rushed into the golden door and landed on the fighting ring almost immediately.

As his gaze swept the surroundings, he saw a row of puppets standing below the fighting ring.

Thump!

The moment he arrived, a Lv 9 True Spirit Realm puppet immediately rushed to the fighting ring, which started to shake from the weight of its bulky body.

Boom!

Without hesitation, the Teal Stone Puppet raised his huge fist and punched at Chu Zhantian.

“Hum! I’d like to see if you are stronger than me!”

Chu Zhantian smiled coldly and yelled, “Elephant’s Strength Skill!”

In a flash, light gold scales appeared on his skin and his body shone with a golden glow. Chu Zhantian looked intimidating!

“Broken!”

The golden fist possessing mountain-like power collided with the Teal Stone Puppet’s fist.

Bang!

A muffled sound was heard as the big Teal Stone Puppet was ejected out of the fighting ring like fired dynamite onto the ground 1,000 meters away.

“Awesome!”

Su Mo stood among the clouds above the combat strength testing field and could not help but praise Chu Zhantian.

Chu Zhantian had easily defeated the puppet using just his physical strength.

Su Mo was surprised that this man’s physical strength was almost as strong as the power of someone with a half step to the Enlightenment Realm!

At the fighting ring.

The Lv 9 True Spirit Realm Teal Stone Puppet had been defeated and another Teal Stone Puppet of a half step to the Enlightenment Realm stepped on the fighting ring.

“You still will fail!”

Chu Zhantian initiated the attack with confidence.

“Solar Heavenly Fist!”

Covered with gold scales, Chu Zhantian’s fist emitted a dazzling radiance. The powerful force of the fist was like a flowing river, which landed squarely on the Teal Stone Puppet.

However, this puppet was almost as strong as Chu Zhantian.

Though it had staggered back when the fist struck, it had managed to blocked his punch.

Next, Chu Zhantian launched a flurry of attacks at the Teal Stone Puppet of a half step to the Enlightenment Realm.

With his fists raining down like bullets and emitting a dazzling golden light, Chu Zhantian looked like a god. He had gained the upper hand completely.

In just 10 moves, he threw the Teal Stone Puppet out of the fighting ring.

Above the fighting ring, Su Mo’s gaze sharpened. He had to admit that Chu Zhantian was almost as strong as a Lv 1 Enlightenment Realm martial artist, and even more powerful than Xue Mo.

Now that Chu Zhantian had won the second battle, the third one began. A Lv 1 Enlightenment Realm Teal Stone Puppet stepped into the fighting ring.

This puppet’s aura alone showed that it was several times powerful than the last one.

Chu Zhantian stared intensely at the puppet. This puppet was so powerful that he did not have the confidence to defeat it.

Boom!

His opponent immediately launched an attack as soon as it stepped onto the fighting ring.

With the momentum of an avalanche, its punch exploded the air and smashed straight at Chu Zhantian’s head.

Facing the Teal Stone Puppet’s powerful attack, Chu Zhantian’s eyes lit up with fighting desire, and Genuine Vitality surged through his body.

The golden and dazzling fist collided against the puppet’s fist.

Boom!

A loud explosion rattled the surroundings. Chu Zhantian and the Teal Stone Puppet retreated at the same time.

Both of them were evenly matched!

They continued to fighting each other using only their physical strength.

Both of them had honed their physical strength, so their attacks were simple, direct, and powerful.

Constant sounds of punches hitting their targets rang out.

Soon, the puppet’s body began to show signs of cracking. Chu Zhantian had also sustained serious internal injuries and blood was flowing from his mouth.

“Solar Single Hit!”

With a loud roar, Chu Zhantian’s fist landed squarely on the chest of the puppet with a dazzling fist radiance.

The Lv 1 Enlightenment Realm Teal Stone Puppet was knocked back dozens of meters. However, Chu Zhantian was also pushed back dozens of meters. Blood gushed from his mouth.

They had almost equal strength. The winner would not emerge any time soon!

Up in the sky above the fighting ring, Su Mo shook his head. He could not afford to wait any longer. God knew how long it would take for the battle to end!

Swoosh!

Su Mo flew down from the sky and instantly landed on the fighting ring.

“Who’s this?”

Chu Zhantian was shocked. He had not expected someone else to be present. He quickly fell back several hundreds meters, putting some distance between himself and the puppet.

When he looked up, Chu Zhantian was surprised, and asked, “Su Mo, why are you here?”

Su Mo flew down, looking at Chu Zhantian.

“Chu Zhantian, you have no chance of passing the test!” Su Mo said indifferently without answering him.

“Oh? Really?”

Chu Zhantian squinted at Su Mo, cold light flickering in his eyes.

“Hand over your storage ring and I’ll show you mercy!” Su Mo said.

“What?”

Chu Zhantian was stunned, and then he sneered, saying, “You must be really tired of living. Do you think you can defeat me just because you defeated Xue Mo?”

“It doesn’t matter how strong you are!”

Su Mo shook his head. He did not wish to waste any more time by engaging Chu Zhantian in further conversation. Su Mo knew that the man in front of him would definitely not hand over his storage ring.

“Devour!”

Su Mo immediately exerted his Devouring Martial Soul and the devouring power exploded instantly.

At Su Mo’s current Martial Soul level and cultivation, the Devouring Martial Soul would ordinarily not have posed a threat to Chu Zhantian. However, Chu Zhantian had sustained serious injuries and was thus extremely susceptible to its devouring power.

Just then, the puppet also rushed at Chu Zhantian.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The violent fist force was like a falling meteorite, landing squarely on Chu Zhantian’s body.

“Ah!” Chu Zhantian shrieked.

In spite of his body being extremely strong from his cultivation of the Elephant’s Strength Skill, it was not able to withstand the attack of the Lv 1 Enlightenment Realm puppet.

His body cracked instantly and flew out of the fighting ring like fired dynamite, onto the spectators stand several thousand meters away.

Puff!

Chu Zhantian spat blood once again and looked pale and feeble.

The Teal Stone Puppet’s punch had not taken away his will to fight. However, one-third of his blood had been devoured by Su Mo’s Devouring Martial Soul in just the time of a breath.

Swoosh!

Su Mo was right on his heels and quickly caught up with Chu Zhantian.

Without saying a word, Su Mo removed the storage ring from Chu Zhantian’s hand with his Genuine Vitality Palm.

Swish!

Su Mo then flew back into the sky once again.

“You…!”

Chu Zhantian was so furious that blood spurted from his mouth again.

He had failed the test. A little while later, he was sent out in a beam of light.

Outside the golden door.

“Next!”, Gold One’s voice rang out.

Gold One’s voice rang out as he summoned the next examinee.

The crowd was in uproar.

“Oh my god! Chu Zhantian failed too!”

“How is this possible? This test is so difficult!”

Worry and apprehension were apparent from the frowns on everyone’s faces.

Chu Zhantian was a high cultivation master and had the ability to fight against a higher level martial artist. He had been called Humanoid monster because of his strong body, but he had failed!

Everyone was struck dumb by and no one was reckless enough to rush through the golden door.

“Senior, has the test difficulty been increased?” Someone in the crowd could not help but ask the Gold One.

Someone in the crowd could not help but ask Gold One.

“Correct!” Gold One nodded. Instead of telling the crowd, he thought to himself, “With the Holy Son inside, of course, the test would be more difficult! “

The crowd fell silent. Due to the increased difficulty, their chances of passing were reduced further.

Xue Mo’s face was gloomy, but he felt slightly better at the thought of his hidden card.

“I’m determined to obtain the Legacy!”

Xue Mo scoffed secretly and strode out. No matter how difficult it was, he would not give up.

Then he leapt into the light door.
