[Mass Release is here! I worked so hard to get this together, and I really hope that you guys enjoy this. Consider gifting to show your support, and encourage to do this again in the future.]
After a minute, sweat beads ford on every one of our eyes. I knew that only a minute passed by, but it felt like a whole hour. It was like a tonne of force weighing down upon , and I could nothing about it.
I glanced at the others, and they were in the sa position. That relieved . Atleast, I was not the worst off. I circulated more and more Qi, but then found the biggest problem of all. My Qi was getting drained rapidly for trying to resist this pressure. Very soon, if I couldn't do anything, I would lose all of my Qi reserves.
As the only one in the second stage in the Foundation Establishnt stage here, I was at the disadvantage in this one regard. And I had to make sure to change sothing to ensure that I had enough Qi.
"I can use the Heaven Devouring Art! I can try to resist this with the Heaven Devouring art! At its most common form, it can even be used as a defensive art! I can actually try that!" I realized.
Although moving in this pressure was hard, and took more energy than normal, I had to make this simple investnt. I started performing the first cycle of the Heaven Devouring Art, and slowly, I could feel that the pressure was getting a little easier to bear. So of the Qi also entered my dantian. I was finally getting in more Qi than I was consuming.
"Interesting." I heard Li Tian say, and his mouth curl up to a smile. With this, I knew that sothing bad was going to happen. I imdiately stopped the cycle I was in, and looked at him with apprehension.
Boom!
Like a piano fell on , I felt the pressure on almost double.
Aaargh!
One of the girls beside suddenly cried out. I could tell that she was eliminated, but I did not even have enough power to turn aside to see who it was. The pressure froze in place, and if I was going to make even a little movent, then I felt that I would be crushed beneath this enormous pressure.
"I give up!" one of the n shouted out as well. This was the point of ti where there would be a few disqualifications. This was going to be an important period. Although I had no need for this new weapon, I could always sell it and use the money for sothing else.
One by one, a total of six people gave up! It was surprising. I was already in the top four. I just had to wait it out, and I would be dolling it out for the last two.
I could only see Li Tian right now, but I knew that he was up to sothing. He was oddly focusing on . It was like he had sothing he wanted to test out. He snapped his fingers again, and a I felt another pressure mount on top of .
I coughed out blood because of the sudden increase in pressure. I was down to my knees right now, and they were already creating an imprint on the floor. I was being forced onto the ground.
"I give up!" the second last girl said. I knew that voice. It had to be Li Huan. Now, only Cai Lien, and soone else remained. I had no idea who it was, but he sure was strong. By my estimations looking at the different matches, I had to guess that it was Hao Shu. He had a very interesting fighting style, and it was a little different from the others who were all a part of the sa sect.
"This is taking even more ti. I thought that all of you would be done by now. It looks like you are trying to give a competition. Looks like I have to increase the pressure." Li Tian said.
My face changed. He was about to increase the pressure. It was my final chance to do this, and the next mont, I would be destroyed.
I raised my arms crossed with each other, shaped like a spear.
"Ethereal Weapon Arts! Shield!" I muttered. At the exact ti that another round of pressure mounted on , I could feel a small barrier appear in front of . I could even see it. And so could the others looking from outside.
"What is happening here? Do you really think that you can hold this paltry defence against ?" Li Tian looked like he was going to attack .
The defense that I put up was by no ans a permanent one. There were so many problems with it. First of all, I was using my hands instead of a shield. They started aching, and I could feel that they were almost about to give away.
My dantian was also almost depleted. The defense was spread thin, and I could see cracks forming. It was only a matter of ti before I would be crushed underneath the pressure.
"I give up!" another finally threw the towel. Li Tian hesitated for a second, and snapped his fingers again. This ti, the pressure was withdrawn. I fell on the ground, panting. The pressure was too much for to handle. All of my Qi was almost depleted. I barely hung on, and I would have lost if it extended for even a little more ti. But Cai Lien was still in the battle. So why did the sect master stop the test?
I looked at Cai Lien. She was also panting, but she was clearly not as beaten up as I got. I looked at Li Tian with confusion.
"The results are clearly obvious. The two of you are waiting to see who is going to the Inner Sect. Well, the answer is quite clear, isn't it? It is going to be Cai Lien who will enter the Inner Sect as an Inner disciple." Li Tian said.
