“There might be something wrong with the crystal.”
David said calmly, “Why don’t we move on to the next test?”
The young deacon hesitated for a moment, then looked at an old man not far from him, who was resting with his eyes closed. He was an elder sent by the Earth Fire Pavilion to supervise this recruitment.
The old man opened his eyes, took a deep look at David, and slowly nodded: “Continue.”
The second item is attack testing.
The testing area had three specially created testing pillars, respectively corresponding to the defensive power of the fifth, sixth, and seventh levels of the Immortal Lord Realm.
The cultivator had to launch an attack from a distance of ten zhang, and the strength of the attack was judged based on the degree of damage caused to the test pillar.
Most of the cultivators who passed the previous tests were only able to leave deep marks on the fifth level test pillars, while some sixth level cultivators were able to leave shallow marks on the sixth level test pillars.
As for the Seventh Level Pillar of Trials, to this day no one has been able to shake it.
David walked to the testing position, but instead of taking out the Dragon Slayer Sword, he put his fingers together like a sword and made a virtual point on the sixth level testing pillar in the center.
A hazy gray sword aura shot out from his fingertips, soundlessly and not very fast.
Just that?
Someone muttered softly, “So weak, it doesn’t even have any presence at all.”
Before the words had even finished speaking, the gray sword energy had already landed lightly on the sixth level examination pillar.
There were no violent explosions, no deafening metallic clanks.
There was only a soft “hiss” sound, like a hot iron rod being stuck into the snow.
Under everyone’s dumbfounded gazes, the trial pillar, which was strong enough to withstand the full attack of a sixth level Heaven Immortal, was easily penetrated by the gray sword energy!
Leave a thumb-sized hole with smooth, mirror-like edges, so light can pass through from both sides!
What was even stranger was that the material around the hole was not destroyed by force, but instead seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth by some force!
The whole room fell silent.
The atmosphere was very quiet.
Several breaths later, gasps of astonishment rose and fell.
“How is this possible?!”
“The sixth rank test pillar has been broken through?!”
“What kind of supernatural power did he use? I didn’t see it at all!”
“That sword energy is strange! This is definitely not ordinary sword energy!”
The burly man who previously mocked David the most was now pale, filled with lingering fear.
He was secretly relieved that he actually didn’t attack, otherwise, perhaps he would be the one who would now have another hole in his body.
The young deacon opened his mouth, but couldn’t say a word for a long time.
In all the years he had presided over the trials, he had seen even the strongest Heavenly God cultivators, only be able to leave slash marks half an inch deep on the sixth level trial pillars.
Straight piercing like this I’ve never heard of anything like this before!
The supervising elder opened his eyes again, his eyes gleaming sharply, staring at David intensely as if trying to penetrate him.
David acted as if he had done something unimportant and continued on to the third test.
The third item is a defense test.
Within the testing area, there were three puppets, each capable of unleashing attacks equivalent to attacks of the fifth, sixth, and seventh levels of the Immortal Lord realm.
The cultivator had to stand in a designated position, without dodging or flinching, and withstand three blows from the puppet. The cultivator’s defensive strength was judged based on the degree of injury.
David walked to the testing position.
“Please select a doll level.”
The young deacon’s voice already contained a hint of respect.
“Seventh place, I think,” David said calmly.
“Seventh rank?” Surprised voices sounded again among the crowd.
The attack of a level seven puppet was truly the power of a level seven Immortal Lord!
Not even a seventh level Heavenly God cultivator would dare say they could withstand three blows without getting hurt!
This young man, who only had a first grade aura, actually wanted to challenge a seventh grade puppet?
“Brother Daoist, level seven puppets are very powerful, perhaps…” the young deacon kindly reminded him.
“Okay, let’s get started,” David interrupted him.
The young deacon looked at the elder watching him, who nodded slightly.
“Activate the seventh grade puppet, attack first!” shouted the young deacon loudly.
A three zhang tall dark red metal puppet had fiery red eyes, its right arm was raised, and a dazzling fiery red light condensed on its fist, emitting a scorching and violent aura.
“explosion!”
The puppet threw a punch, a fiery red fist shadow shot through the air and brought along a scorching shock wave, heading straight for David’s face!
