CHAPTER 30: CHAPTER 29: THUNDERFIRE

On the platform, Wang Ziang said lightly, "The Flowing Light Trial has a total score of 200. Those scoring below 120 are considered eliminated!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

On the big screen, the names of thirty trialists dimmed.

"Another 30 people have been eliminated!"

"There are less than 40 people left."

Jiang Ye looked around, thinking to himself that the school’s trial was indeed not easy.

If so many people are eliminated in the last trial as well, there will be less than 10 people passing this trial.

And this is the lowest level of trial, the pass rate is frighteningly low.

"What exactly is the Thunderfire Trial like?" Jiang Ye looked forward to it in his heart.

The first two trials were virtual, but the Thunderfire Trial is conducted in reality.

Wang Ziang had mentioned before that the longer one persists in the Thunderfire Trial, the more benefits one can gain.

Evidently, this trial is extraordinary.

The other surviving trialists were also eagerly anticipating.

At this moment.

Wang Ziang said lightly, "The final trial, Thunderfire Trial!"

He pressed a button on the wall.

The next moment.

The virtual cabins beneath everyone sank into the ground one after another.

"Boom!" Metal walls rose from all sides, enclosing the entire hall.

These metal walls had countless metal nozzles, densely packed, numbering in the hundreds, all aimed at the trialists in the field.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn’t help but feel creepy.

"The Thunderfire Trial won’t really use lightning and fire to roast us, right?"

Jiang Ye also felt a bit horrified, could it be too exaggerated?

Just as everyone was tense and uneasy.

Buzz!

Hundreds of metal nozzles simultaneously sprayed a concentrated gas.

The gas was a faint purplish-red color, and the moment it appeared, it actively drilled into the pores of all the trialists.

Wang Ziang introduced:

"This gas contains a trace of Thunder and Fire Attribute Star Sky Energy, which can temper your body."

"The longer you persist, the more benefits you will gain."

"Of course, this process will be very painful!"

Wang Ziang showed a slightly malicious smile: "For those whose Star Martial Cultivation Technique hasn’t reached perfection, this pain will be super amplified."

He didn’t need to explain.

Everyone present had already felt it.

This time, there wasn’t a single student here whose Cultivation Technique reached perfection.

As the purplish-red gas penetrated his pores, Jiang Ye immediately felt a sharp pain.

It felt as if countless scalding ants were biting at his cells and constantly rubbing salt into the wounds.

At this moment, some students had already started to wail.

"Mom!"

Some students screamed, unable to endure the pain any longer.

Wang Ziang said lightly, "If you can’t endure it, you can press the button beside you at any time and exit the trial immediately."

"But..."

"You must persist for more than 15 minutes to pass the trial."

"Persist for more than an hour to get full marks!"

His words made everyone feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

Such pain, and they have to endure it for 15 minutes?

But everyone still gritted their teeth, no one pressed the exit button.

It was hard to reach the third level, how could they give up so easily?

For a moment, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone was enduring with gritted teeth.

Jiang Ye’s expression was calm, perhaps due to his strong Martial Arts Will, this level of pain was still within his endurance range.

Not far away, Zeng Xueqing, Xu Lei, and others had similarly calm expressions.

They were already close to perfection in the Cultivation Technique, so the pain they suffered was lighter than others.

As for next to Jiang Ye.

Li Zhichao showed the benefits of persisting in taking medicine for the past six months. Having endured the torment of the drugs, his endurance was stronger than others.

Only Lin Xuan’s face was extremely ugly.

After all, he was only a first-year student, and had not long ago broken through to Great Success in the Cultivation Technique.

The pain he suffered was far greater than others.

"Persist! I absolutely can’t lose to Chao!" Lin Xuan gritted his teeth tightly.

...

Time passed continuously.

Five minutes, ten minutes.

Finally, someone couldn’t endure the pain and pressed the exit button.

The next moment, the ground where that person stood directly sank, sending him out of the trial ground.

The big screen in front continuously refreshed the remaining numbers.

[Remaining: 39 people, 38 people, 37 people...]

Finally, the time came to 15 minutes.

Most trialists breathed a sigh of relief and quickly exited the trial.

They had passed the trial!

As long as they didn’t fight for the top three, there was no need to continue staying.

Soon, there were less than ten people left in the hall.

"If it’s just this level of pain..."

There was a hint of madness in Lin Xuan’s eyes: "Then I might as well persist for an hour!"

As the top student of An City No.1 High School.

His Martial Arts Will was really strong.

Now, he had gradually adapted to that pain!

He even found a subtle pleasure in that endless pain, immersing and enjoying it.

But just as Lin Xuan was planning to continue enduring.

On the platform.

Wang Ziang suddenly showed a wicked smile, and then, pressed a button.

"Boom!"

In the trial ground.

Hundreds of metal nozzles suddenly spewed out purplish-red gas several times denser than before!

The sharp increase in gas concentration brought along an even more terrifying pain.

"Ahhh!"

Lin Xuan finally couldn’t endure it anymore, letting out a beast-like roar.

Even Jiang Ye found it hard to bear, if the previous pain was like rubbing salt into the wounds.

Then now, it was like pouring strong liquor and spicy oil on the wounds!

This feeling was unbelievably terrifying!

Not far away, Zeng Xueqing, Xu Lei, and several other sophomore key class students, also had twisted expressions.

Even the closest to perfection, Zeng Xueqing, felt somewhat unable to hold on.

"Every 15 minutes, the trial difficulty will rise a notch."

Wang Ziang said with a smile, "Good luck to all of you!"

This sentence was like a devil’s whisper, causing everyone’s expressions to change instantly.

Fifteen minutes per notch?

That means in another 15 minutes, the pain will intensify again?

"Hold on!"

Jiang Ye took a deep breath, this level of pain, he could still barely hold on.

But whether he could endure another 15 minutes, he was not sure.

But he had to get through this stage.

...

On the other side, Lin Xuan’s face had turned extremely grim.

He was the only first-year student in this group.

The lack of realm caused the pain he suffered to be many times greater.

"Damn it, is this really my limit?"

"Do I really have to lose to Chao, lose to the ordinary class?"

Lin Xuan’s body trembled, his heart roaring, "Hold on for me, damn it!"

Time continued to pass.

Gradually, within the even stronger pain, Lin Xuan actually found that familiar trace of pleasure again.

He, held on!

In the blink of an eye, this trial had lasted for half an hour.

At this point, there were only five people left in the field.

Jiang Ye, Zeng Xueqing, Xu Lei, Li Zhichao, Lin Xuan.

On the platform, Wang Ziang smiled slightly, "Activate the third stage!"

Boom!

In the trial ground, the hundreds of metal nozzles erupted once more, spraying out an even denser purplish-red gas.

With the arrival of the third stage, the five people present immediately felt unprecedented pressure.

Yet surprisingly, the first one out was not Lin Xuan.

But Li Zhichao.

Lin Xuan, seeing Li Zhichao being eliminated, seemed to feel a sense of relief and soon ended the trial.

Only three people were left in the field, struggling to hold on.

Zeng Xueqing, Xu Lei, Jiang Ye.

The top three were already determined!

But who would be the first? That would soon be revealed.
