CHAPTER 521: CHAPTER 461: SUPER LEGACY_2

On the battle platform, sword light flashed, and Sword Qi cut through the air. In just a brief moment, Wu Sheng exchanged over a hundred moves with the Qing Stone Puppet.

Wu Sheng’s combat power, back in the Great Thousand Domain, could surpass opponents three levels above his own. Even though he couldn’t fight across three levels here, surpassing two levels was certainly possible for him.

In the end, after more than two hundred moves, Wu Sheng defeated the Earth Martial Master Seventh Layer Qing Stone Puppet, passing the third test of combat strength.

"Is this really a success?"

Wu Sheng stood quietly on the platform, looking down at the puppet he had defeated, hardly able to believe it.

Was this not something that so many top talents could not do? And yet, he had done it! It gave Wu Sheng a surreal feeling!

"The difficulty is not that high, is it?" Wu Sheng was somewhat puzzled in his heart. If this was the level of difficulty, those before him should not have all failed. Wu Sheng couldn’t figure it out.

However, since he had succeeded, he couldn’t care less about the others. As long as he could obtain the inheritance, it was an enormous fortune for him.

Then, the golden Light Gate in the sky shone out, wrapping Wu Sheng in its radiance and sweeping him outside.

Outside the golden Light Gate.

"Qualified!" Jing Yi announced in a cold tone, and immediately after, Wu Sheng’s silhouette walked out from the Light Gate.

The whole place suddenly fell silent, everyone incredulously watching Wu Sheng.

He actually succeeded?

Completed the test?

Hearts were filled with amazement and doubt. So many top-level talents failed, yet this genius, who was merely an Earth Martial Master Fifth Layer, succeeded?

"Brother, how difficult was the test inside?"

Right as Wu Sheng came out, someone immediately approached and inquired, while others stared at Wu Sheng, waiting for his response.

"The difficulty should be about the same as before, still one-on-one battles, and fighting across one level, two levels!" Wu Sheng said.

"What?" The crowd showed looks of astonishment, somewhat disbelieving. The same as before? Then why had so many top-level talents failed?

Seeing that the crowd was skeptical, Wu Sheng didn’t say much more, simply moving to the side to wait quietly.

Then, other people successively entered the golden Light Gate to take the test, but without exception, they all failed.

Soon, the number of people left in the square dwindled, except for Wenren Tianyi and Lei Xiao, and aside from Jiang Taixu, only Hong Qingxuan and Chu Yunfeng remained.

Currently, the only one who had successfully completed the third challenge of combat strength was Wu Sheng.

Wenren Tianyi and the others had serious expressions. Although someone had passed, they did not relax much. Their Cultivation was as high as Earth Martial Master Ninth Layer and above, with each one needing to fight across a greater realm, which was not comparable to the others.

"Sister Hong, I’m going in first!" Chu Yunfeng said to Hong Qingxuan before leaping into the golden Light Gate.

Hong Qingxuan’s pretty face also showed gravity as she silently adjusted her state, striving to pass the test.

As expected, Chu Yunfeng failed and was teleported out of the Heavenly Vault Divine Realm.

However, Lin Feng did not seize his Storage Ring because back in Shuoyuan Ancient City, he had already been thoroughly looted by Lin Feng.

Immediately after, Lei Xiao and Jiang Taixu entered the test one after the other. Both faced the Heavenly Martial Master Second Layer Qing Stone Puppets and were defeated even faster than Xue Mo. At the same time, Lin Feng did not let them go either, looting everything they had.

Now, outside the golden Light Gate on the square, only Wenren Tianyi and Hong Qingxuan remained.

The reason they waited until the end was that they had become Official Disciples in the second test and this third challenge was merely a voluntary test. Even if they did not participate, they would still obtain the Ancient Inheritance.

"Are you two still going to take the test?"

Jing Yi looked at them and asked.

"Of course!"

Wenren Tianyi and Hong Qingxuan nodded at the same time. Both were peerless talents, naturally, they wouldn’t be intimidated, and even if they couldn’t pass, they wanted to try.

Swoosh!

Hong Qingxuan dashed forward, entering the golden Light Gate first.

Entering the combat strength testing ground’s battle platform, Hong Qingxuan quickly engaged in battle with the Qing Stone Puppets.

Hong Qingxuan’s current Cultivation had reached the Earth Martial Master Sixth Layer, so her test was to fight against the Qing Stone Puppets at the same layer, Earth Martial Master Seventh Layer, and Earth Martial Master Eighth Layer respectively.

The attack of this young lady was not only astoundingly beautiful but also immensely powerful. Already during the Hundred Extremes Tournament in the Great Thousand Domain, she possessed the strength to surpass opponents three levels above her, and here, defeating two levels higher was practically effortless.

In just a short moment, Hong Qingxuan had defeated three Guardian Puppets.

High above in the clouds, Lin Feng watched Hong Qingxuan’s graceful and enchanting form, feeling a slight stir in his heart. This woman’s talent was indeed formidable; she could perhaps be considered as a candidate successor for the Nine Great Palaces.

Lin Feng refrained from appearing and robbing her. In Shuoyuan Ancient City, he had already spared her, and now he had no wish to seize from her again. Moreover, Lin Feng had secretly decided to treat this young lady as one of the potential successors of the Nine Palaces.

Having successfully completed the trial, it was Wenren Tianyi’s turn next.

Wenren Tianyi’s abilities were countless times stronger than Hong Qingxuan’s, but the Stone Puppets he faced were also many times more powerful.

The first to enter the fray was a Stone Puppet at the Half-step Heavenly Martial Master level, which was defeated by Wenren Tianyi in one move.

Subsequently, a Stone Puppet of the Heavenly Martial Master First Layer appeared, and Wenren Tianyi resolved the battle in only eight moves.

Above in the sky, Lin Feng’s eyebrows slightly raised; Wenren Tianyi’s combat strength seemed to ensure there would be no problem completing three rounds of battle.

Just as Lin Feng pondered this, Wenren Tianyi below had already commenced his fight against the Stone Puppet of the Heavenly Martial Master Second Layer.

Wenren Tianyi also employed Fist Techniques, his colossal Fist Power like the Nine Heavens Divine Light, clashing ceaselessly with the Stone Puppet.

The violent explosions echoed in all directions.

Indeed, whether in offense or defense, Wenren Tianyi was slightly inferior to the Stone Puppet of the Heavenly Martial Master Second Layer.

However, the Stone Puppet lacked spiritual intelligence, knowing only brute strength for attacking.

Wenren Tianyi did not clash head-on but instead relied on his agile speed to slowly entangle in battle, the two fighting for nearly a quarter of an hour.

Ultimately, Wenren Tianyi knocked the Heavenly Martial Master Second Layer Stone Puppet off the Battle Platform.

Lin Feng frowned slightly; this person’s strength was too formidable, and he definitely could not rob him with only his own power.

Even the highest-level Puppet here, at the Heavenly Martial Master Second Layer, was defeated by this man.

"No matter! His talent is extremely strong, and he is a promising seedling. Let’s let him go! We can pay close attention to him in the future. For now, let him become an Official Disciple," Lin Feng thought silently.

On the plaza.

At this moment, apart from Jing Yi, only Wenren Tianyi, Hong Qingxuan, and Wu Sheng remained.

"Congratulations to you three for successfully completing the three tasks!"

Jing Yi declared loudly, looking at the three.

"You two can become Official Disciples of the ’Radiant Palace’ and ’Changqing Palace’."

Jing Yi looked at Wenren Tianyi and Hong Qingxuan, then turning to Wu Sheng, he said: "You, since your results in the second trial were not high, cannot become an Official Disciple, but you may enter my ’Golden Brilliance Palace’ as a Registered Disciple."

The three nodded upon hearing this, joy gleaming in their eyes – the Ancient Inheritance was now within reach!

"Follow me for the initiation ceremony and then to receive the inheritance!"

With a wave of his hand, Jing Yi conjured a blast of air that enveloped the three and whisked them away at high speed.

...

Back in the great hall where Lin Feng had been earlier.

Lin Feng had returned to the great hall, standing before him now were eight towering Guardian Puppets.

These eight Guardian Puppets were the protectors of each of the Eight Great Palaces other than the Golden Brilliance Palace, respectively named Qing Yi, Water One, Huo Yi, Shi Yi, Wind One, Lei Yi, Guang Yi, and Dark One.

These eight Guardian Puppets each had their unique features; for example, Qing Yi was made from a type of green wood, while Lei Yi was from an unknown material, its whole body sparking with electricity, as if filled with thunder.

"Take care, Saint Heir, and may you grow swiftly, leading our Heavenly Vault Divine Palace to rise again!"

Shi Yi gave Lin Feng a fist salute, afterwards handing him a Jade Scroll and said, "This Jade Scroll contains a list of all the currently alive disciples of our Heavenly Vault Divine Palace. I hope it will be of use to you, Saint Heir, but you must not easily reveal your identity to them, to avoid unforeseen dangers!"

As Lin Feng was about to depart, Shi Yi gathered the Guardian Puppets of the Nine Great Palaces to see Lin Feng off.

"Take care, Saint Heir!" the other seven Puppets also gave Lin Feng a fist salute.

"Take care, everyone!"

Lin Feng nodded. It was unknown how many of the former disciples of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace would genuinely serve their cause; he indeed had to be cautious about revealing his identity.
