Chapter 127 The Strength Granted by Xiao Chen
Chapter 127 The Strength Granted by Xiao Chen
"I refuse to believe it! If they can overcome it, so can we!"
Xiao Lin was determined not to fall behind others.
"Xiao Lin, don't be impulsive!" Xiao Feifei advised, trying to persuade him to proceed cautiously step by step.
But Xiao Lin was already carried away and rushed forward, bypassing Xiao Feifei.
He attempted to pass the third level quickly.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
A barrage of hidden weapons rained down from all sides, and Xiao Lin's expression changed drastically.
He then realized that it was simply beyond his capacity to bear.
"Watch out!" In her haste, Xiao Feifei could only step forward to help him deflect some of the hidden weapons.
Off-screen, the core members of the Xiao family all frowned.
"The two seeds of the Northwest branch have come to an end here," the Xiao family patriarch said, frowning.
They originally had a sliver of a chance, but Xiao Lin was too reckless.
Inside the secret passage, the hidden weapons became increasingly dense, making it difficult for the two to defend themselves.
"Swoosh..." Xiao Lin was hit by a hidden weapon and started bleeding.
Xiao Feifei also began to get injured.
Seeing the situation becoming increasingly critical, Xiao Feifei finally had no choice but to make a decision.
"Give up!" she shouted.
"No! I can get through this!" Xiao Lin said defiantly, holding his breath.
Unable to persuade her, Xiao Feifei had no choice but to give up and back down.
Not long after...
"Pfft..." Xiao Lin coughed up blood and flew backward, only to be knocked back.
Fortunately, these hidden weapons were treated; otherwise, they could have been fatal at any moment.
"Xiao Feifei, Xiao Lin, failed." The instructor's voice rang out, tinged with regret.
"I didn't fail! Let me try again, I'm sure I'll pass!" Xiao Lin roared.
Xiao Feifei's eyes were filled with disappointment.
Compared to Xiao Chen, Xiao Lin is far inferior, both in strength and temperament.
There was a noise coming from behind.
Xiao Qiang and Xiao Xiong reached the third level.
"How come it's you guys!" Xiao Feifei looked surprised and very unexpected.
These two are of average ability, and they should have been eliminated in the first round.
But they actually made it to the third level!
"Thanks to Master Chen, we were able to get here," Xiao Qiang said with a smile.
These words left the two seeds stunned.
Because of Xiao Chen?
Could it be that Xiao Chen gave them some pointers...?
But it's only been a few days, how could it possibly improve this much?
"You got lucky to get here, but Xiao Chen isn't a god. Even we couldn't get past this third level, so you're even less capable. Don't waste your time and risk losing your lives," Xiao Lin said sarcastically.
"We still want to give it a try."
The two ignored them and started trying to complete the challenge.
"Hmph, overestimating yourselves, do you really think Xiao Chen can transform you completely..." Xiao Lin sneered, his face showing mockery and disdain.
He desperately wanted to regain some psychological balance from the two people's misery.
"Huh? Their speed..." Xiao Feifei exclaimed in surprise.
Xiao Lin stared at it for a while, his eyes slowly widening.
"How could this be..." He couldn't believe it.
Xiao Qiang and Xiao Xiong's speed and agility have increased more than tenfold. Although they struggled to deal with the hidden weapons, they were still able to cope, unlike the two of them who were forced into a desperate situation.
Soon, the two reached the position where they had retreated.
Xiao Lin gritted his teeth, his fists clenched tightly.
“They absolutely cannot get through!” he said fiercely.
Xiao Feifei was shaken and didn't say anything, just stared at the two people.
She was certain that their strength had increased significantly, and their internal energy was no weaker than that of the seed, but they just hadn't realized it yet.
"These two lads are interesting." Even the core members of the Xiao family, who were watching the two of them pass the test, became interested.
Two bottom-ranked guys suddenly became amazing, and they were even comparable to seeds!
Despite the attention from many parties, Xiao Qiang and Xiao Xiong are still moving forward.
They were extremely focused, avoiding rash actions and proceeding steadily and surely.
He faced several dangerous situations, but was able to react in time to avoid hidden weapons.
When my feet were no longer touching the ground, I realized I was already on the other side.
"Xiao Qiang and Xiao Xiong, you've passed the third test and been promoted to Grade B!" The instructor's voice rang out, bringing everyone back to their senses.
"We did it!" The two cheered with joy, overjoyed.
This is an achievement they never dared to dream of.
Class B...
Neither of the two seeds from the Northwest split managed to get past the third hurdle!
Xiao Lin stared wide-eyed, speechless, his face clouded with gloom.
Not only can he not compare to Xiao Chen, but he can't even compare to his underlings...
"Xiao Lin and Xiao Feifei, you have failed the third challenge and are rated C." The instructor's voice rang out.
Xiao Lin found it hard to accept, clenching his fists in resentment.
Without a doubt, they will lose their seeding status.
Xiao Feifei looked dazed.
"They've only been with Xiao Chen for a short time, yet they've improved so much... If it were me..." She looked ahead, her thoughts churning.
……
The fourth level.
When Xiao Chen arrived, Xiao Yichen was standing in front of him, seemingly waiting for him.
A person stood in the secret passage; he was one of the core figures of the Xiao family.
"I will guard the fourth checkpoint. No matter what method you use, as long as you can get past me, you will pass the checkpoint," the man said loudly.
Without saying a word, Xiao Yichen walked straight over.
He had one hand behind his back, looking very pretentious.
The man immediately attacked.
Xiao Yichen threw a punch.
"boom!"
The man stumbled back seven steps before regaining his balance, his face filled with astonishment.
"Xiao Yichen's strength is really impressive..." The key figures in front of the screen frowned, their expressions solemn.
The rule for the fourth trial was originally to try to pass through if that person blocked their way, because the strength of the trial disciples was far inferior to that of people of their level.
Xiao Yichen directly repelled the person, making the difference in their skill level immediately apparent.
His abilities far surpass those of his peers.
"You can go ahead." Knowing he was no match for the man, the man stepped aside.
Xiao Yichen chuckled and walked past with his hands behind his back.
After passing through, he didn't go any further, but watched from the side to see how Xiao Chen would pass the test.
"It's your turn." The man looked at Xiao Chen with a strange expression, as if to say, "Give me some face, don't make things too bad."
After all, they now know that Xiao Chen is a King-level being.
Xiao Chen walked out expressionlessly, and the man, as usual, tried to stop him.
He missed, and Xiao Chen flipped over, and before the people below could react, he was already there.
Xiao Yichen saw this and sneered, probably looking down on Xiao Chen's way of avoiding the challenge.
"Hehe, there's absolutely no comparison!" Xiao Yiyi said loudly.
"What's the panic? The main event is about to begin," one person replied coldly.
The Xiao family's geniuses can all pass the fourth stage, which guarantees a top-tier grade, but the fifth stage is a different story...
"Yi Chen will definitely pass all the levels. Xiao Chen is only fit to eat his exhaust fumes!" Xiao Yiyi was full of confidence in Xiao Yi Chen.
Not long after, Xiao Qiang and Xiao Xiong also arrived at the fourth level.
Both men tried, but were repelled and unable to pass.
"Well, we've done pretty well to get here." Knowing their limitations, the two chose to abstain.
"Your grades are Grade B, you're promoted to seed." The instructor appeared and said approvingly.
The two were overjoyed.
"Thanks to Master Chen." They were deeply grateful, feeling incredibly fortunate that Xiao Chen had stood up for them when he was in trouble.
