Chapter 529: Break!
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
Everybody’s eyes were popping out. Many had been in the Disciple level for a long ti. Although the Knife Mountain trial was only held once per week, but they had seen it often enough. Yet, nobody had crossed 80m!
As the wave of fire blasted to the skies, the entire trial arena transford. Everybody could feel the dense wave of heat. This type of environntal change would definitely affect one’s performance.
Whoosh...
Wang Zheng imdiately stepped forward. More accurately, he had not even paused. A lightning quick response ti!
Everybody’s hearts were in their throats. Would he fall into the magma and be incinerated, or would he...
Stabilize!
They had not even processed matters, and Wang Zheng was already continuing. The change had happened in about half a second, and was actually not too bad. Such a trial’s demands of martial art standards was not high. The most important was to regulate output and a stable manner. Emotional fluctuation could severely affect one’s arts. In such an environnt, the smallest flinch would see a quick end.
But compared to so small thing like magma, Bonehead seed way crueler!
When Wang Zheng rushed for the second knife tip, it suddenly disappeared. This was asking for his life!
The speedy Wang Zheng paused briefly in mid-air, as though floating. When the knife tip reappeared, he treaded lightly, whoosh...
Such a display of arts was already at the pinnacle. Mouton was clear that even if he had made it to 80m, the sudden change along would have caused him to falter at the first step.
This was impossible. Could this guy be from the higher levels?
Impossible. Those from a higher level could not participate in the trials of a lower level. This...
Mouton looked at the stone plaque. The na on top was... still Mu!
Wang Zheng’s expression was still serene. This ant he was serious. For such a trial, it was fruitless to practice it for a million tis. Each ti required the sa amount of focus. The slightest lag would cost one’s life. Bonehead’s training required not for one to win, but to make no mistakes.
And just as he said, each failure saw Wang Zheng suffer horribly.
But, besides to Bonehead, Wang Zheng would definitely uphold his reputation to outsiders!
The 10m that was a matter of life and death had been passed in a flash. He was past 80m...
Was he still continuing?
Bubble bubble...
The magma suddenly beca even more vigorous, waves of fire splurting beside Wang Zheng. This was completely unavoidable, and Wang Zheng took magma over his body. Those parts turned charred in an instant.
At this ti, the slightest interruption would have seen anybody fall. Mouton’s face was whiter than a sheet.
It was normal for humans to feel pain, and pain inevitably affected one’s focus. This environnt was indescribable.
But just like that, that black-tal-masked punk was actually still advancing, as though he felt no pain.
Nobody noticed that Wang Zheng was actually smiling to himself. Suddenly, things had turned interesting.
88m.
Could he actually break 90m???
Everybody only had eyes for the waves of magma. Although Mouton’s body was still present, his soul had already left.
Only Tree suddenly noticed the stone plaque. On it, Mu’s na was disappearing, and a new na erged.
90m!
The bubbling magma suddenly quietened, but... F*ck, why wasn’t there a single knife tip left?
He was still calmly surveying his surroundings, just as back in the days with Bonehead, but he saw not even a single way to proceed. If his martial arts were strong enough, he could force a super-far jump into the air, but fuck, this was only a Basic Point Blade Technique.
Plomp!
Assuming the coolest pose he could, Wang Zheng dropped into the lava.
Vaporized into ash, he reappeared in the trial hall.
His limbs were all intact, and the burns had all been healed. This was much more humane than Bonehead, who had often allowed the pain to continue for a ti after each failure, in order to aid his mory.
Wang Zheng’s inventory of ti had grown by 200 hours, and a 16 Point martial art – Icy Soul Arts!
Not a bad haul, he had not wasted his money.
The whole hall was quietly watching the man in the black tal mask. That black tal mask did not reveal much, which made him seem cooler. But the sharp look in the eyes seed to be taunting the world.
Uncomfortable under all the stares, and seeing the trial was over, Wang Zheng beat it promptly.
Nobody made a sound throughout the entire ordeal. Tree ca to with a jerk, and quickly followed.
When the two had disappeared from the trial grounds, the entire trial hall erupted.
The Saint Mu’s trial record had actually been broken!
Furthermore, it was by a Basic Point Blade Technique! Who on earth was this cool custor Charcoal?
A man or a monster?
In the din of the hall, nobody paid any attention to Mouton anymore, for the first ti. After a good while, he stood up. He knew that this person must be an expert in the real world as well.
Real world ability would unquestionably influence strength in Saint. Although he had just co in, but that composure and decision making spoke of sothing darker in him, perhaps even a top-class Milky Way assassin.
A chilling air of murder had hung about him.
anwhile Wang Zheng, oblivious to these assassin speculations, was happily checking through his spoils. He needed to earn a lot of money, so he could properly treat Aina and Lin Huiyin when they t.
Martial arts could not be sold, but even if he did not use it, he could give it to Yan Xiaosu and the others. It seed like a waste. Yan Xiaosu’s ambitions lay elsewhere, and it would be wrong to force him. But ng Tian, Zhang Shan... they were a different story.
Tree looked quietly at Wang Zheng. “Brother Charcoal, you’re amazing. You even broke Mu’s record. You really turned all heads back there.”
Wang Zheng made so unintelligible response. What was this Mu, and all this mumry? None of it was his concern. All he cared about was one thing.
Perhaps sensing Wang Zheng’s indifference, Tree could only force a laugh. “Brother Charcoal, I have things to do. I’ll leave first. Thanks again for saving .”
“Oh don’t worry about it. You brought good luck. Here, let’s add each other as friends. If sobody bullies you next ti, I’ll help you beat him up.” Wang Zheng said easily. Keeping an eye on the big picture was important, but the details should not be neglected as well.
Tree really did not know what to say. Experts were not uncommon in Saint, but to have ability at this level, and to be so... It was really a rare sight.
Wang Zheng headed for the training room. He wanted to try out the Icy Soul Arts. His first awakened ability X was of the ice type. Perhaps when stimulated with a similar art, there might be so interesting results.
But after just half an hour, Wang Zheng gave up. The Icy Soul Arts did not have much of a result.
This was related to his body affinities. Primordial Regression Technique belonged to the 5 affinities’ circulation, but the Icy Soul Arts were clearly leaning towards the Water affinity. This was not complentary to Wang Zheng’s balanced power, and he could not hold it well.
Although the 8 Point Blade Techniques were very basic, they were the foundational arts of the 5 affinities.
Wang Zheng was not disappointed. At least he had achieved so general understanding of its use. Actually, specific-affinity arts could lead to a loss of balance for those like Wang Zheng. It could warp one’s affinity, and might even lead to an even stronger resultant ability X.
The two different systems might produce fantastic results. This would probably be very helpful to ng Tian.
Although not being able to bring the martial arts out heavily discounted its use, but as long as one honed the martial arts that suited one’s own affinity, even if it could not be brought out, one’s ability X would continue to improve. The world of Saint could not completely inhibit such changes, and this was the reason why many continued to stay.
Wang Zheng thought that he should seek out ng Tian first of all.
