Amid a dark and murky sky, a black shadow streaked past at great speed. Occasionally, it would turn around and spit out a column of scorching flames.
A cultivator pursued after it relentlessly. As this cultivator slashed aside its flames, he would also let loose a torrent of abuse.
This black shadow and cultivator were none other than the black dragon of the Dragon Tribe trial and the trial-taker, Tang Ximen.
This cat-and-mouse game had already gone on for a long time. The black dragon couldn't defeat Tang Ximen head-on, yet its speed was surprisingly quick. After fighting for a while, it started employing hit-and-run tactics, resulting in Tang Ximen being on the back foot and being constantly barraged by his flame attacks.
"Stupid c*nt lizard! If you've got balls, then stop running! Fight me like a man!"
Tang Ximen cursed loudly as he pushed his flying sword to its limit.
The black dragon responded with a cold sneer and several columns of blistering flames.
Shameless, absolutely shameless!
Tang Ximen had never come across such a shameless enemy before. This black dragon was a disgrace to the proud and haughty Dragon Tribe!
"Stupid c*nt cultivator, catch me if you can! If you catch me, I'll let you, hehehe..." The black dragon cracked a smile and retorted Tang Ximen guiltlessly.
Tang Ximen's veins bulged as he heard this. This dragon didn't forget to ridicule him shamelessly even as it was fleeing for its life! How could he tolerate this? This was intolerable!
"Vital Lightning Slash!"
He roared loudly, and two streaks of white lightning streaked out from his sword. They formed into a cross and crackled toward the black dragon aggressively. Wherever this cross passed, the air was suffused with ear-splitting thunderclaps!
Unexpectedly though, the black dragon had already become accustomed to Tang Ximen's sudden counterattacks. It immediately shifted sideways and casually dodged his attack.
"Hahaha! Wanna hit me? You're still too green!" The black dragon chortled loudly after the raging lightning cross whizzed past its body.
Tang Ximen's expression darkened. After pursuing the black dragon for so long, it was still full of energy and vigor. This could be surmised by looking at how it nimbly dodged his sword strike.
If this continued, it was very possible that he would be the first to collapse.
Just as he was feeling hesitant, a "brrrt" sound suddenly sounded from in front of him.
A greenish-black vapor which possessed an unimaginable stink swept toward him like a raging wind.
"Bahahaha... You can only eat sh*t if you follow behind me! How's the taste? Want some more?"
The black dragon's wanton laugh traveled into Tang Ximen's ears, and it even swayed its rear in a threatening manner...
Tang Ximen trembled in fury, and he almost vomited a mouthful of blood.
This fart also became the fuse that pushed him toward a resolution.
"F*ck it! So what if I become exhausted for three days? I'll f*cking kill you!!!"
Tang Ximen suddenly cut open his wrist. Under the manipulation of some spell technique, his blood twined around his sword and started radiating with a brilliant crimson glow.
The energy within his body was rapidly sucked away by this glowing blood, and it all converged upon his sword.
Instantly, as if it were about to tear apart the dark and murky heavens, a blinding crimson glow radiated from his sword. The might it possessed ignited violent gusts of wind, and the entire realm started trembling under its presence.
The black dragon also detected the fearsome might that had gathered behind it. Glancing back, it felt the threat of death bearing down upon it. Without a second thought, it increased its speed and fled with all its might.
"Brother, put your sword away! Let's resolve this in a civil manner!" the black dragon roared.
"Heh, you finally know to beg for your life?" Tang Ximen sneered."Such a shame... It's already too late!" He held his index and middle finger together and pointed them toward the black dragon."Go!"
Possessing an incredible amount of power, his sword transformed into a crimson streak and stabbed toward the black dragon at a devastating speed!
The black dragon turned pale with fright, and it immediately wriggled in mid-air. It tried in desperation to dodge this strike.
However, this sword was not only quick, but it was also frighteningly agile. As the black dragon evaded, the flying sword also corrected its flight path accordingly.
The black dragon opened its jaws and spat out a calamitous column of flames. However, the might of the sword was unstoppable, and it tore the raging column of flames apart effortlessly.
"No!!!" the black dragon screeched. Then, it felt a cold chill envelop its a*s.
Immediately afterward was its stomach, neck, and head.
Traveling at a terrifying speed, the crimson streak skewered through the black dragon's entire body!
Boom!
The gigantic black figure was finally killed. It hurtled down from the sky and crashed into the floor heavily.
"Congratulations! You have passed the trial of the Dragon Tribe!"
Tears were brimming in Tang Ximen's eyes as he gazed at the orb of inheritance descending from the skies.
I did it, I finally did it!!!
He finally shook off his identity as a male who had obtained nothing!
Watching on as his teammates received Divine Weapon, Divine Flames, and immortal fruits, Tang Ximen's mind had received innumerable heavy blows. Because he, the most brilliant student of the fourth year, had become the only person who was yet to obtain anything...
This time, however, he had finally managed to obtain an inheritance. Although the price he paid was a bit big, at least he succeeded, okay?!
After accepting the inheritance of the Dragon Tribe, Tang Ximen's eyes were shining brightly. The cultivation method he had received was Dragon's Wind Riding.
No wonder that black dragon was so quick. He probably mastered this cultivation method as well.
A spatial passageway which led to the stone hall started materializing before him. As he looked toward this door, Tang Ximen suddenly became weak at the knees and collapsed to the floor. The after-effects of using the mystical technique finally hit him—three days of absolute exhaustion...
...
An Lin and the others waited in the stone hall for a long time. Tang Ximen still hadn't appeared.
Time slowly trickled by. The more time that passed, the more heavy-hearted everyone felt.
"It can't be that Senior Tang had some mishap, right?" Hu Guan spoke anxiously.
"If he's facing the hard mode difficulty, then there shouldn't be any life-threatening dangers..." Xuanyuan Cheng frowned.
At any rate, Tang Ximen was the most outstanding cultivator out of the fourth-year students. He was powerful and presumably had many trump cards as well. It didn't seem plausible that he would trip up in this trial.
An Lin remained silent as he looked toward that empty passageway. He had said that he would wait here until everyone arrived, so he had to stick by his words and wait until the moment that Tang Ximen appeared in this hall.
After a long period of time, he finally glimpsed a figure which was slowly crawling over...
That's right, that figure was in extremely sore straits... It was actually crawling over!!!
"Senior Tang!!!" An Lin shouted loudly, and the rims of his eyes became red. What kind of brutal battle had he faced? He was a fit and healthy cultivator when headed in, yet both his legs were crippled now!
The other members of the team also gazed toward the crawling figure with grieving looks. It was as if a heavy stone was weighing down on their hearts.
This spatial passageway was a single way tunnel, thus they could only stare on helplessly as Tang Ximen's tragic and heroic figure slowly crawled over...
Tang Ximen was especially irked when he looked up and saw the red rims of their eyes and the sympathetic looks on their faces.
I'm half-paralyzed due to exhaustion; is there any need for you guys to look so sad?
Why are you guys gazing at me as if I've already sacrificed myself? Are you guys looking down upon your senior? Hah?!
After finally obtaining an inheritance, it appeared as though Tang Ximen had become the most pitiful member of the team again. This made him feel as if his pride had been humiliated...
After crawling out of the spatial passageway, Tang Ximen was gently carried onto the black brick by An Lin.
His teammates consoled him endlessly, giving him absolutely no chance to explain.
"Guys, listen to me! I used a mystic technique because I was unable to catch the black dragon, so..."
"Okay! Senior Tang, there's no need for you to explain. Have some rest. We'll deal with the remaining matters!"
"Senior Tang, staying alive is most important. As long as you live on, the possibilities are endless!"
"We won't despise you just because you're disabled!"
Tang Ximen: "..."
...
In a dimly lit space, a bald male finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was very thankful to Tang Ximen.
A relatively crushed and pitiful person has finally appeared. This is more like a trial...
Black Spirit Snake glanced at the bald male coldly. The bald male shivered as he felt a boundless chill sweep over his body. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and he almost suffocated under the stifling pressure.
After a short moment, he finally felt this cold chill vanish.
"What's wrong?" Black Spirit Snake smiled."You're feeling a little happy because these trials were extremely successful?"
The bald male, who felt as if he had circled around the gates of hell, lowered his head and didn't dare reply.
"Go, change all the remaining trials to hell mode difficulty, " Black Spirit Snake continued."This team is too powerful. I believe that Shou Yang won't mind me doing this."
"I understand, Master Black. I'll change them right away!"
The bald male would never dare to defy Black Spirit Snake's orders. He immediately complied with her orders and rushed to change everything to the highest level of difficulty.
Following the original design, the remaining three trials should've all been of normal difficulty. Now, however, they had skipped over the hard mode and been directly raised to the hell mode... He didn't dare imagine the consequences. However, since this was Black Spirit Snake's order, all he needed to do was to carry them out...
