Chapter 428: 234, intending to transmit messages by stars
The hall fell into an eerie silence.
Once Xu Yuan exhibited a dominating force on the stage that filled everyone present with fear, it was destined that he would be the most formidable and untouchable foe in the whole arena.
Therefore, even though he left the stage after strangling the Young Master of the Demon Tiger clan, no one dared to snatch his spot in such a moment.
Under their fearful and scrutinous gazes, Xu Yuan rose into the air and returned to his own platform, where he sat down cross-legged.
Despite his pale face looking as delicate as golden paper, his expression was ghastly.
But still, nobody dared to take advantage of him.
There was no way to.
The shock and deterrent brought by Xu Yuan’s consecutive instant kills of two Great Divine Communicators were too significant.
If, after his instant kill of the Green Lion, he had struggled against the late-stage Nascent Soul Thunderfire Demon Tiger, eventually claiming a hard-fought victory, then perhaps he wouldn’t be so feared.
But after two rounds of instant kills, naturally, no one would be willing to touch such bad luck.
In the high tower, those three Return to Void Great Divine Communicators and the Remnant Soul of Immortals were also shocked to the point of being speechless.
“That, that’s Immortal Skills! And moreover, top-tier Immortal Skills!”
The Remnant Soul of Immortals breathed rapidly, his usually tranquil eyes tainted with a hint of light red.
“But how is it possible for someone to use Immortal Skills during the Nascent Soul Stage, and such top-tier ones too? I must possess his body!”
If before he had chosen Xu Yuan with the intention of fostering good relations with Lin Qingque and Mo Xianxian,
now, he was simply coveting Xu Yuan’s potential for himself.
Most importantly, he detected no traces of reincarnation on Xu Yuan which meant that even if Xu Yuan had a great secret, it posed no threat to him.
As time passed, the Arena Defenders on the platforms continued to change.
Xu Yuan wasn’t greedy; when the number of platforms began to decrease and the fights intensified, he relinquished the platform he was defending and moved to the one where Lin Qingque was.
His previous appearance of weakness wasn’t an act.
After all, it was a cross-border kill with a single strike.
It could only be said that although the tactic of burning Heartflame was powerful, its cost was equally hefty.
Gradually, when the number of platforms reduced to seven, An Yulan and her Protector were both eliminated.
After defending for so long, they were no longer able to contest.
When the number of platforms reduced to five,
Xu Yuan and Lin Qingque could no longer withstand the relentless assaults from below and chose to step down as well.
In the end, when only one platform remained, Mo Xianxian still firmly held her absolute position.
However, although she had occupied a platform since the beginning until the end,
this trial emphasized the cumulative time of the Protectors and the Saint Heir candidates.
Therefore, even though Mo Xianxian alone held the platform the longest, she couldn’t surpass the combined time of Xu Yuan and his group.
“The third trial.”
As a Water Mirror floated out from the high tower,
everyone understood that the final moment had arrived.
“The Illusory Realm of the Heart?”
Xu Yuan took a deep breath, looked towards Lin Qingque with a solemn expression, and said, “Junior Sister, I’m counting on you for what’s next.”
“Mm.”
Lin Qingque nodded lightly, her voice carrying a trace of pride as she said, “Don’t worry, leave it all to me.”
Then, Xu Yuan’s gaze shifted to Liu Ruoxue. He silently erected a soundproof barrier between the two and whispered, “Ruoxue, there’s no need for you to join me in entering. ”
Liu Ruoxue was taken aback, about to speak, when she heard Xu Yuan’s quiet voice, “I don’t know why, but I have a premonition that something significant may happen. If my premonition comes true, don’t worry about me. Go find Xue Lin. I left something with her—over to you.”
“…I understand.”
Liu Ruoxue fell silent for a moment, looking back towards the arena, but Xue Lin’s figure was nowhere to be seen.
Clearly, she had taken the chaos of the second-stage selection to slip away.
Previously, Xu Yuan’s decision to place Xue Lin near An Yulan was probably also premeditated, not just out of fear for their wellbeing.
Seeing Xu Yuan turn his head and sit down, Lin Qingque watched his back with profound meaning, her eyes twinkling with an inexplicable excitement.
“Close your eyes, relax your mind, follow the pull, and enter the Illusory Realm of the Heart!”
With the sound from the high tower,
everyone exchanged glances and, as if by an unspoken agreement, they all closed their eyes and sat down cross-legged.
As their breathing gradually steadied, in a hazy state, Xu Yuan felt a pulling force from ahead.
Within the pull, his consciousness slowly submerged.
When he opened his eyes again,
before him was an ancient building he had never seen before.
‘Where is this? Who am I? Why am I here?’
Xu Yuan looked around at his surroundings in confusion, feeling lost.
He clutched his head, feeling his memory to be a complete blank.
“Husband, why are you daydreaming there? The servants just picked some loquats, do you want some?”
Before Xu Yuan could come to his senses, a Charming Shadow with a gentle breeze walked out from the inner courtyard.
She was lovely and charming, with naturally painted brows and bright red lips, dressed in fine silk, her figure graceful.
“Who are you?”
He furrowed his brows, pondering deeply.
“I am Qingque, your legally married wife. Husband, have you forgotten?”
