Sword Emperor

0Although Sun Bing had predicted that there would be a lot of people in the city today, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene, especially not only this young man. There were also many old cultivators.    2

    

Fortunately, Hong Kai had already expected this situation, and even the house that he lived in. It could be said that they were quite close to their final destination. In addition, they all had extraordinary skills. Even with such a huge number of people, it still could not stop their speed. In an instant, they had already arrived at the plaza at the center of the Soaring Dragon City.    

    

This was the first time he had come to this square. Even though Sun Bing had always thought that he had seen a lot of things because he had been training outside all year round, at this moment, his eyes were still filled with shock.    

    

All of a sudden, the square in front of him didn't seem to be in a fight, but it seemed like the space inside had been completely compressed. Layers and layers of huge spaces were hidden within. And within the void... There were also dense energy symbols and the protection of the inscriptions. Even Sun Bing couldn't decipher them successfully.    

    

After passing through the layers of compressed space, one could see that there was a hidden square. It seemed to be extremely close to him, but at the next glance, he felt that it was extremely far away. It was quite strange.    

    

Four tall stone pillars stood on the four legs of the square. The most shocking thing was that there were dragons carved on the stone pillars. They had horns like deer, heads like camels, eyes like rabbits, legs like snakes, stomachs like clams, scales like fish, claws like eagles, palms like tigers, and ears like bulls.    

    

That technique seemed to have reached its peak. The dragon carvings were lifelike, and each scale seemed to be real. In particular, the pair of dragon eyes contained majesty, holiness, and inviolable.    

    

If one stared at the Coiling Dragon Pillar for a long time and observed it, one would be able to discover that the dragons seemed to have come to life. They were actually slowly circling around the stone pillar. The dragon claw was flickering with traces of cold light, causing one to feel intimidated.    

    

Moreover, within the coiling dragon pillar, there were countless inscription patterns hidden. The power contained within each scale was unknown. If all of them were to be displayed, it was unknown just how large the power would be.    

    

"No wonder this place can be called the Soaring Dragon City." After seeing these four coiling dragon pillars, Sun Bing could not help but sigh with emotion. It was likely that this was the reason why this place had such a name.    

    

After passing through the four lifelike coiling dragon pillars, he could see a huge stone tablet standing in the square. It was likely the Potential Tablet. One could even see a door flickering with fluorescent light beside it.    

    

That door was the ultimate wish of everyone who had come here. Only by passing through that door could one enter the Small Void. After which, one would have to fight. Finally, one would be able to ascend the Heaven's Pride Board and become famous in the Shen State.    

    

"Even though I have already come here once, I still feel shocked when I revisit this place. Especially those four soaring dragons. Their dragon eyes are ferocious and frightening, causing one to feel fear as if they are still alive." At this moment, Hong Kai couldn't help but let out a sigh.    

    

When Sun Bing heard this, he secretly revealed a hint of understanding. It seemed like he understood what was going on. It seemed like he wasn't the only one who had this feeling. There must be a lot of secrets hidden within these four coiling dragon pillars.    

    

When he took another look, it was obvious that many of the people in the surroundings had shocked expressions. Sun Bing could even see a few of them. Even when facing these coiling dragon pillars, they felt as if their courage had been shattered.    

    

He couldn't help but shake his head. He never thought that his spiritual will would be so fragile. One should know that after Sun Bing saw it, he was only slightly surprised in his heart.    

    

It was foreseeable that such a cultivator wouldn't achieve much in his life. In fact, he had already reached the end of his life. After all, cultivators of his generation were heaven defying. If he didn't have great perseverance, he wouldn't be able to reach the peak in the future.    

    

As time passed, many young geniuses could be seen around them. The older ones might be nineteen or twenty years old, while the younger ones were only seventeen or eighteen years old.    

    

Not all of these people had come here to participate in the Prodigy Roll this time. Most of them had only wanted to experience the environment in advance and prepare for the next round.    

    

Finally, when the sun rose slowly in the east, the first golden ray of light shone directly on the Flying Dragon City. The Coiling Dragon Pillar that had previously been rather shocking had a completely new change at this moment.    

    

Sun Bing seemed to be able to see it. The soaring dragon gradually swam around the stone pillar. Finally, it seemed to have transformed into a shadow. It directly formed four dragon shadows in the void. A loud and clear dragon roar could be heard beside one's ear. Soon after, this seemingly ordinary square finally had an obvious change.    

    

Threads of energy symbols directly exploded, emitting bursts of thunder-like sounds. There was even lightning and thunder that accompanied it. There were even traces of inexplicable attacks being emitted. It completely wrapped around the entire square. If one wanted to proceed smoothly, one could only go through the difficult obstacles along the way.    

    

"This means that the competition for this year's Prodigy Roll has officially begun. This is only the first round, and it is known as the Path of Prodigy. Only by passing through it and entering the square will one be able to explore the second round." Hong Kai couldn't help but speak softly at this moment.    

    

"However, how difficult is this? One must know that the space here has been compressed. Some people might be only a short distance away, but for some people... It's like Heaven Abyss. Moreover, there are even traces of attacks appearing within it. Therefore, in order to pass through it completely, one's strength... Luck was not something that could be missed. This trial alone is enough to eliminate more than 70% of the cultivators."    

    

Sun Bing couldn't help but nod his head slowly. He had never expected that the seemingly simple test would contain so many secrets. It was indeed worthy of the name of the Path of Heaven's Pride.    

    

As soon as Hong Kai finished his introduction, Sun Bing could see a young man dashing out from the crowd. However, as soon as he stepped into the square, he noticed a huge change in the surrounding environment.    

    

The energy symbols that had been hiding in the void all this time had completely exploded, and they were fiercely attacking Hong Kai's body. At that moment, almost everyone could see the thunder and lightning, the fire flying in the sky, and the divine light flashing. All in all, it was quite extraordinary.    

    

Under such circumstances, even the slightly stronger Reborn Stage warriors might not be able to hold on any longer. After that, they could see that the warrior was hit in an instant. He let out a heart-wrenching roar, and there were obvious wounds on his body, as if he would die in the next moment.    

    

However, under the watchful eyes of everyone, this figure suddenly turned into a bright flash of light, and then completely disappeared without a trace. Sun Bing could even see that the surrounding people had a look of understanding on their faces.    

    

"Although the path of heaven's pride is extremely dangerous, it is also used to select many geniuses. Therefore, there are many protections within it. As long as you are aware that you are almost unable to hold on any longer, it will instantly send you to a safe place.    

    

Therefore, every time you fall... There are also countless people who wish to use this method to train themselves. After all, the rogue cultivators is unable to hold on until the Potential Monument. However, I never expected that the first person would fail just by going thirty meters deep into it. It seems like each generation is weaker than the previous."    

    

At this moment, Hong Kai could not help but slowly introduce himself. However, when he saw Sun Bing, an awkward expression appeared on his face. After all, he had somewhat forgotten that this young genius in front of him was a genuine rogue cultivators.    

    

Fortunately, Sun Bing didn't care about these things at all. He was still excitedly watching the others challenging the levels. However, most of the people who rushed forward were just ordinary people. Therefore, they could only feel a strong sense of luck in their hearts. They could only go up to 300 meters at most, but they could no longer hold on.    

    

Furthermore, Sun Bing could also clearly see that the closer he got to the four coiling dragon pillars, the stronger the attacks coming from the void became. It could be said that this was a gradual process.    

    

All of a sudden, a strange look flashed across Sun Bing's eyes, because after such a long time, a genius had finally appeared among the ordinary people.    

    

It could be said that he was the first among those people. With a leap, he had crossed four to five hundred meters. However, it was obvious that he was not in a good mood after arriving at that place.    

    

His entire body was enduring the attack from the void. Even though he had lifted up his body protective strong qi, it was completely useless. It was still blasted apart by the lightning inch by inch, and traces of blood could be seen on his body.    

    

However, there was no doubt that his opponent had barely made it through the first stage. Finally, he successfully entered the empty space surrounded by the four coiling dragon pillars. When he arrived there, the attack in the void suddenly stopped, as if the previous attack was completely fabricated.    

    

The crowd could not help but exclaim in admiration. Some people had already clearly recognized who it was. It seemed to be the top thousand of the previous batch's Prodigy Roll. Initially, they thought that it would be a piece of cake this time, but they did not expect that just breaking through the first stage would be so difficult.
