Volume 1 Chapter 910 No. 1
"I am Hai Bei Tian from the Hai Clan." Kong Yun nodded slightly, "Long time no see." Then he stopped talking.
Haibei Tian shook his head and sat down quietly, waiting for the start of the match.
"There are no special rules in the compet.i.tion. You can"t cheat, you can"t use the fire outside your body."
"The compet.i.tion begins. The first part of the compet.i.tion is to use fire to roast the copper ball in front of you. The higher the temperature, the better. If it melts, it will be eliminated."
The temperature at which the copper was about to melt was about 1,000 degrees. Kong Yun had to keep his temperature below 1,000 degrees, as close as possible to 1,000 degrees. It"s easy to say, but it"s hard to do.
Kong Yun turned his eyes around and did not see their worried expressions. Instead, he had a calm expression. Clearly, he knew the test of this trial.
Kong Yun controlled the copper ball to slowly hang up. The Spiritual Fire appeared in his hand, but it did not attract much attention. Before partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion, Kong Yun decorated the Spiritual Fire according to the method of the artifact spirit, so that no one could easily see its ident.i.ty.
Spirit Fire was a precious treasure after all. If it appeared in front of an unscrupulous person, it would inevitably attract a series of troubles.
In a very short period of time, Kong Yun raised the temperature to 900 degrees. Then, he slowed down and began to slowly rise.
At the same time, Kong Yun had only risen by 50 degrees, and then he became even slower. He had to pay attention to the stability of the flames at all times so that the copper ball wouldn"t melt.
As time pa.s.sed, many sighs came from those who had failed.
Kong Yun was not disturbed by these sounds, but quietly warmed up.
At this moment, Kong Yun glanced to the side and saw that Haibei Tian was progressing in an orderly manner without any anxiety.
Unexpectedly, this rich family disciple still had some ability. Kong Yun"s lips curled up slightly as he started his own compet.i.tion.
Kong Yun had already burned the temperature to 990 degrees Celsius, and then stopped heating up. He knew that if he continued, it would be very dangerous.
Soon, an old man walked over and glanced at Kong Yun. "Is it done?" Kong Yun nodded.
Then, the old man took out a black object and placed it on top of the copper ball. A word of 990 immediately appeared above Kong Yun.
"990 degrees." After saying that, the old man smiled at Kong Yun and said, "Not bad, little fellow, do your best." Kong Yun replied with a smile.
After that was Haibei Tian. Seeing Kong Yun"s temperature, he felt a little depressed.
"Haibei Tian, 960 degrees."
"Little brother, I didn"t expect you to be so strong at such a young age."
"You"re not old either." Kong Yun said with a smile.
"Don"t look at me like this. I"m already in my fifties." After that, he laughed self-deprecatingly. Kong Yun also laughed and did not say anything.
"The compet.i.tion is over. Those with scores above 900 degrees will stay. The rest of you, please leave." Many people left the plaza with dejected expressions.
"The first place in this compet.i.tion is Kong Yun, 990 degrees." The moment he said this, everyone was shocked. Even the old monster that had lived for hundreds of years couldn"t do this. Now that a little fellow had done it, how could he not be shocked?
"Rest for half an hour, then proceed to the second round."
Even though it wasn"t consumed much just now, he still closed his eyes and began to cultivate.
Half an hour later, the old man"s voice pulled everyone back from their cultivation.
"The second round is to test the strength of the flames. The black gold sand is placed in front of you. I need you to refine the black gold in the shortest amount of time. The one who uses the least amount of time will win."
With the sound of a bell, the compet.i.tion began.
This test was not difficult for Kong Yun. Kong Yun had done such a thing in the past when he was in the spatial rift, so he was very familiar with it.
In just fifteen minutes, Kong Yun had completed all the refining. Then, he raised his hand to indicate that the old man had no problem inspecting it.
"Kong Yun, fifteen minutes."
The moment he said this, he was shocked and cheered. Kong Yun was stunned for a moment, then closed his eyes and began to cultivate.
"It took Kong Yun fifteen minutes to break the record here. He was ranked first." This sentence caused everyone to cheer again, so Kong Yun understood why they were like this.
After that, Kong Yun"s name spread like a wing through the streets and alleys of the city.
"Brother, how did you cultivate? How could you be so strong? Could it be that you started cultivating in your mother"s womb?" Kong Yun rolled his eyes at him and didn"t say anything.
After this round, there were only twenty people left in the compet.i.tion of more than a thousand people.
"The last round is the drawing compet.i.tion." The old man waved his hand. Dozens of guards carried a huge metal plate and distributed it to the contestants.
"There are patterns on the portrait. All you need to do is draw it on the iron plate with your Spiritual Fire. You can"t burn through the iron plate. Otherwise, the top three will be eliminated. Everyone must grasp the opportunity to enter the ancestral land of the Huo Clan to cultivate. The time is three hours. Let"s begin."
Kong Yun"s expression changed. He didn"t expect such a test to exist. It was very novel. It tested the intensity of the flames, the control of the flames, and most importantly, his mentality. This test mentality was very important.
Kong Yun did not start at the first possible moment. Instead, he carefully observed the iron plate in front of him. There was an extremely beautiful woman painted on it. It was extremely tempting.
Kong Yun was stunned for a moment before he instantly regained his senses. He didn"t expect that this portrait had a deceptive effect and almost fell into it.
When Kong Yun reacted, the old man looked up and closed his eyes.
Kong Yun came out so easily, but the others were in trouble. Many people only reacted after an hour. At this time, half of the time had pa.s.sed, so it would be difficult to complete it.
Kong Yun calmed himself down. Then, he stretched out his finger and a flame appeared at the tip of his finger, gradually warming up.
In the end, under Kong Yun"s control, he stopped. Kong Yun placed his finger on the metal plate. The metal plate instantly began to melt, but halfway through, it stopped. The metal plate was not thick, on the contrary, it was very thin. This made it even more difficult for everyone.
Kong Yun wasn"t good at drawing, but his hand moved like flowing water, without any stagnation. Moreover, the thickness of the metal plate melted was basically the same, reflecting Kong Yun"s strong control.
Suddenly, Kong Yun stopped moving. Kong Yun felt a special feeling in his heart, but he didn"t catch it and disappeared in an instant.
"What is this feeling?" Kong Yun didn"t understand, so he shook his head and continued his work.
A small gap appeared where Kong Yun had stopped, affecting the beauty of the portrait. However, Kong Yun did not care. This was a sign of confidence.
Kong Yun finished the next work in one breath without any pause.
When the portrait was completed, the portrait lit up and turned into a lifelike beauty.
Kong Yun was stunned for a moment, the corner of his mouth slightly raised as he played a trick.
This portrait was still used to confuse people. It was only used to delay the time, prolong the time of the compet.i.tion, and increase the difficulty of the test.
Kong Yun raised his hand to signal that he was done. He closed his eyes, wanting to find out what he felt during this period of time.
Following Kong Yun"s completion, several people finished the compet.i.tion one after another. There were also some who did not grasp the temperature of the flames well, and their mouths were eliminated. There were also a few who were still in the puzzlement of the portrait.
As the compet.i.tion ended, Kong Yun opened his eyes. During this period of time, Kong Yun did not gain anything, but he did not feel discouraged.
"The first place in this compet.i.tion is still Kong Yun." Then, an iron plate appeared in front of everyone. "This is his work. Everyone can appreciate it."
Seeing Kong Yun"s lifelike portrait, the scene became quiet. They were all impressed by Kong Yun"s exquisite control techniques.
"Second place is Qing Lan, and third place is Haibei Tian." Following the announcement of the results, the match ended. Following that, Kong Yun and the other two followed the old man to the Huo Clan.
Just as he walked to the door, he saw a huge word "fire" hanging at the entrance. It was very imposing.
"The Huo Clan"s strength is truly extraordinary." Haibei Tian was the first to speak.
"The Hai Clan isn"t weak either." Haibei Tian nodded. There was no weakling on the eighth floor.
However, when the three of them entered the main hall, they saw a large man dressed in fiery red sitting on the main seat, looking at everyone.
Kong Yun couldn"t help but curl his lips when he saw that he was a Medial G.o.d expert, a peak figure on the eighth floor.
"Did the three of them give the old ancestor their iron plates?" The person beside him nodded.
""h.e.l.lo, I"m the Huo Clan"s Clan Master, Huo Tong. You guys are very good, able to stand out among more than a thousand people and enter the top three. It"s very impressive," the big man said as he turned his head. "h.e.l.lo, I"m the Huo Clan"s Clan Master, Huo Tong." Kong Yun and the others were very happy to hear this evaluation.
"But what I want to tell you is that you have only taken the first step. The next test will be the most severe." Seeing Huo Tong"s serious expression, Kong Yun and the others felt a little guilty, but they did not lose confidence.
"Next, you will enter the ancestral land with our Huo Clan and obtain the Fire Ginseng Fruit."
Kong Yun was stunned for a moment. The Fire Ginseng Fruit could increase the strength of a cultivator of the Fire Laws by one rank, but it was only limited to below the Divine Realm.
"There is a stone tablet next to the Fire Ginseng Fruit Tree. The stone tablet records the method of controlling fire. It depends on your ability to comprehend it." Hearing the Huo Clan Master"s words, Kong Yun and the others fell into deep thought.
After all, Kong Yun made up his mind, "I agree." Kong Yun made a statement. Haibei Tian and Qing Lan were both disciples of major powers, and they were unwilling to work for the Huo Clan.
"You can think about it and give me an answer in such a hurry. After all, you are all proud sons of heaven." Huo Tong didn"t have the slightest intention of being anxious.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, the two finally agreed. Seeing that the three of them were so happy, he shouted, "Good, courageous." Then, he laughed loudly.
"In the evening, I will personally welcome you to the Ancestral Grounds. I happen to know the people who entered the Ancestral Grounds this time."
