Chapter 990: Test 2
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Only three people on Nora’s side still persisted. He whispered to the other two, Beast and another woman through voice transmission, obviously wanting them to persevere.
The situation suddenly became suspenseful.
Time pa.s.sed by slowly again.
The Energy Machinists of other sects gradually withdrew and the third wave of qualitative change immediately began.
The red light quivered fiercely.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!!
There were more than a dozen consecutive m.u.f.fled sounds and more than a dozen Energy Machinists were thrown out. Their skins were red, as if it peeled off and it looked shocking.
Most of these dozens of people were independents and the Energy Machinists of other sects. Some from Scarlet Snow Sect were also thrown out. There were only five people left persisting. These five were March and Yiling, Joey and two other powerhouses. All these were the Two Hearted Disciples of the top-ranked Peak Masters.
However, they did not look relaxed.
In addition, of those who could still persevere on the field, there were only a handful of rare powerhouses from other Energy Machinist teams. But at this time, everyone’s attention was focused on the Big Three Sects. They were the key to winning the t.i.tle for sure.
Ten minutes pa.s.sed again.
This time, the quality of the red light changed again. With a m.u.f.fled sound, the red light suddenly doubled in its concentration.
Pfff!
Joey and another powerhouse could not stand it at the same time. They spurt out a mouthful of blood and were popped out of the beam, leaving the playing field.
The beautiful Energy Machinist who was with Joey quickly went forward to help and support him.
“Alright?”
“No…it’s just that the exhaustion is too much.” Joey shook his head and stood upright on his own. He pushed away the woman’s support and looked at Nine Owl Sect again. His gazed suddenly froze.
“How could it be!!”
He could not help but called out.
There were actually more than half from Nine Owl Sect still remaining. Eight people were still persevering.
“This… This…” Joey could not speak anymore. Looking at the eight people’s expressions, none showed a sense of heavy burden but instead looked serene and peaceful. The slight fluctuations emanated from their body indicated that they were actually at Level Four.
“Nine Owl Sect, what are they planning to do this time?!” Joey suddenly felt that this low-key, neutral sect seemed to be faintly showing the edge of their knife. Come to think about it, Nine Owl had always been masking their strength. They had never joined in the battle between Scarlet Snow and Dragon Eye. Almost no one had seen their big brother Night Owl’s real hand. Those who went to Void Battlefield always went alone, so no one knew of his strength.
“They have concealed well…” Joey breathed in a sip of cold air.
“Now we can only look to brother March.” The woman also thought of this and her face color changed slightly. “If we lose to the people from Nine Owl, we will really be in trouble when we get back this time.”
Losing to Dragon Eye was alright. But Nine Owl’s people had always been weaker than the two sects, giving people a long-standing impression of being weak. They were just a relatively larger counterpoise in the fight between Scarlet Snow and Dragon Eye. To lose to a force that was never given any attention to, if this was known by the elders in the sect who loved to save face…
Wade stood in the beam casually. His face was indifferent, but the few people around him were all elated and looked at the other two sects’ sour faces with their heads held high.
“We’ll see who can laugh til the end…” March stared coldly at Wade.
Boom!
As soon as the voice had just faltered, a female Energy Machinist powerhouse beside him was bashfully thrown out. This made March’s face darkened and he could no longer speak.
“The essence is mine.” Wade opened his eyes and said plainly. “The reward of the Sect’s c.u.mulative score is also ours.”
Hum!!!
At this time, it was the qualitative change of the red light again and the red radiation was twice as strong.
In a flash, everyone except for the three leaders all got popped out at the same time.
But at this moment, the instant a graceful woman from Nine Owl Sect was popped out, she gave a low roar and her entire body began to transform. Her chest bulged high and with a tear, a pair of black horns actually grew out from there, bending downwards. The entire person’s body size also suddenly grew from being one point seven meters tall to more than two meters, making her thin and tall.
This transformation actually enabled her to re-stabilize her body and once again, stood firmly within the beam.
March’s and Nora’s expression both changed instantly. Not only them, all the people of Dragon Eye and Scarlet Snow could not help but looked sour-faced.
As for the Energy Machinists from other sets who were popped out, they were all stunned. Many of them had not even heard of such a transformation.
“What kind of means is this!? One could instantly increase so greatly the regenerative power?”
“It’s snake-demon gene! Gene implantation modifying into the snake-demon const.i.tution! That’s actually gene modification fluid with characteristic properties. It’s amazing!”
“Snake-demon gene should be inborn, not implanted.” Someone with sharp eyes pointed out the problem directly.
“Inborn snake-demon? This is terrific!! It’s been how many years since this kind of inborn mutated body const.i.tution had appeared in our state! Nine Owl had been quietly nurturing it for so many years!”
“So what is the meaning of them showing their hand now? Do they think that they don’t need to hide anymore?” Someone whispered.
“Maybe they feel that they no longer need to hide it any longer…” Some people came to an unbelievable conclusion.
March and Nora’s heart sank slightly.
They were very clear about the value of the gene fluid essence. If it were taken away by the people from Nine Owl, it was not just the question of money but more of a blow to their reputation. The people from Nine Owl were using their names to climb the ranks.
For the sects, fame and reputation was a very crucial thing. It was only through reputation that there would be a large number of talented people who would admire and want to join them. Only then would the next generation be stronger than the previous one. Without enough fame, the most talented people would naturally not choose the second sect. As such, when one came to Northern Yu Province, they would naturally not choose the two sects again. In this way, one generation would be weak and the generations after would grow weaker and be worse than the others. Of course, the end-result would not be so serious. However, they did not know what to think about the situation before their eyes. Seeing the actions of Nine Owl, this thought involuntarily popped up in their minds.
Hum!!
Suddenly, it was another qualitative change.
This time, that woman from Nine Owl was hurled out and spurted a mouthful of blood. But the result was already very good in the c.u.mulative score of the sect.
March’s face was unsightly. Because there was not much difference between the three of them, wanting to score more sect points was extremely difficult. The other party had an additional woman who could persist until now as compared to them. Hence, the result was self-evident. They were likely to lose in this recovery round.
If he could not increase the gap with Wade, then following the quiet style of Nine Owl, they might really be able to grab the essence.
He gritted his teeth. The qualitative change this time is starting to make them feel difficult. But if he did not persevere, the face of the sect would be lost in his hand and that would be very shameful when he returned. The way the elders viewed him would also be greatly affected. Without a good evaluation, becoming the disciple of an elder would be a fantasy!
At the most notable position on the stage, only three people were still persevering.
With a hum, the red light increased in concentration once more.
Finally, Nora was the first to unable to persist anymore. He was thrown out with a bang and slammed onto the ground of the s.p.a.ce, impacting a long black mark. The disciples who wanted to help him were also knocked off and cried out.
Nora got up. The energy field on him was flas.h.i.+ng with electric arc and red light. He gritted his teeth and stared at March and Wade.
At this point, he also had to admit that his regenerative power was indeed weaker than the two!
“d.a.m.n!! I’ll see how long you can hold out!?”
Before long, March was unable to persist…the veins on his face were becoming apparent and it seemed that he would be thrown out at any time.
Wade also frowned faintly, apparently reaching his limit.
Hum!! Finally, it was another qualitative change. The red light suddenly showed signs of blackening.
Boom, boom!!
After two blares, Wade and March were thrown out simultaneously. The two were actually just no more than two seconds apart!
“We’re finished!!!”
Seeing this scene, all the heart of the people from Dragon Eye and Scarlet Snow sank to the bottom.
Any of the two sects obtaining it was better than letting Nine Owl acquiring it. But now, the result was that Nine Owl’s disciples persevered the longest while there was not much time difference between Wade and the other two leaders. So to calculate it, the c.u.mulative score of the sect was completely hopeless.
There also would not be the reward for the c.u.mulative score!
Bang!!!
March punched the ground fiercely. His face was surly to the extreme. The c.u.mulative score was lost to Nine Owl this time. When he returned, his application for the resources of advancing to Three Hearted would probably be seriously affected. Once it was affected, that would be related to his destiny! He was already more than 200 years old. If he could not break into the resonance level by the age of 00, then there would really be no other way!
The atmosphere fell into a complete embarra.s.sment and silent moment.
Only the people from Nine Owl had smiles on each of their faces. They had performed well this time. Wade was also had on a slight smile, which was a rare sight.
“Invigilator…” Nora approached the invigilator, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed as if he was napping. The other party appeared to be in repose and seemed to be not bothered about the compet.i.tion between the three sects. “May I ask what is the ranking of the score this time…”
When this statement came out, it immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
“This time, it seems that both Scarlet Snow and Dragon Eye will fall. Nine Owl was shockingly brilliant, exceeding everyone’s imagination!”
“It seems that Nine Owl is going to overturn the sky this time.”
“Hehe, it will be fun to watch.”
Some people discussed quietly, but there were more who secretly kept their thoughts in their mind and watched the show silently.
Unexpectedly, the invigilator did not open his eyes, as if he had not heard Nora’s inquiry.
“Invigilator…” March also stood up with his face sullen to the extreme and asked. “May I ask the result this time…” He knew that he had lost, but if he did not even dare to face it, that would be even more of a failure.
“What’s with the rush? There is still someone who isn’t done yet!” The invigilator opened his eyes and replied impatiently.
“What?” March was stunned, as if he had heard something wrong.
“You did not hear wrongly.” The invigilator was lazy to say more. “There’s still someone who isn’t done yet!”
“There’s still someone…not done!!!???” March was stupefied.
Nora was stupefied.
The Big Three Sects were all stupefied.
Wade’s eyes widened and his smile froze in the moment. The ecstasy of the disciples and juniors beside him halted.
“There’s still someone!!???”
The Energy Machinists below raised h.e.l.l. This was a miracle!
At this point of time, there was still someone not done yet?! How was it possible? Was there such a possibility??
Are you sure the invigilator was not joking?!
The whole place fell silent. No one would suspect the invigilator had made a mistake. They wondered if they were hallucinating and had auditory hallucinations.
“A group of nincomp.o.o.ps!” The invigilator waved one hand impatiently.
Hum!!!
On the edge of an obelisk in the distance, a beam of red light was lighted up behind everyone all this while. It was still persisting at this time and had not vanished!!
Following this act of the invigilator, everyone immediately saw clearly that red beam behind them.
Woah!!!
In an instant, the entire square completely turned into a bustling ocean.
