Chapter 1396: Chapter 1396, first battle

Translator: 549690339 

In front of the figure, which seemed to be on the verge of collapsing at any moment, black flames rose up to form countless tiny cells. These cells were like beehives, densely packed together.

Each of these cells seemed to have a large internal area… . What appeared in front of the figure was only a miniature version of itself. However, if you looked closely, you would still be able to see that within each of these tiny cells.., there were two cultivators from the three sects.

The trial this time was a battle in the arena!

As the figure, who was on the verge of collapse, stared at the countless small cells, Wang Baole’s figure appeared in one of the small cells.

The moment he appeared, Wang Baole spread out his divine thoughts and looked around. There was a glint in his eyes. He didn’t know the method of the trial this time, and he didn’t understand it now. However, as he reflected everything around him in his mind.., wang Baole had an answer in his heart.

An arena battle with no terrain restrictions? Wang Baole muttered to himself. He was in a mountain range. It looked huge, but in reality, it was only the size of ethereal city.

To mortals, it might be huge, but to cultivators, they could reach any location in an instant.

With such an area, it was impossible for it to be a free-for-all battle. Therefore, there was only one answer.

From the looks of it, it’s a battle of layers and layers, and the final winner will be decided… Wang Baole could imagine that there were countless battlefields, and every one of them had battles.

There are so many battlefields, so there must be a mix of fish and dragons. I wonder who my first opponent will be… Wang Baole narrowed his eyes, and with a flash, he disappeared from where he stood, turning into a melodious tune, he drifted away from the mountain range.

There were four peaks in the area, and between the four peaks was a forest. In the forest, a gust of wind blew past, causing a large number of leaves to sway, producing rustling sounds.

Amidst the rustling sounds, it was difficult to notice that there was a tune that was extremely similar to it. It lingered in the forest, causing the entire forest to appear normal. However, in reality, the swaying of each leaf seemed to amplify the intensity of the tune, seemed to increase the intensity of the rustling sound.

“My Luck is pretty good. The first battle actually gave me such a suitable battlefield…”as the rustling sound echoed in the air, an invisible figure fused into the sound, he flew through the forest at high speed.

This person came from the Dao of music. He was a cultivator of the older generation. He had been quite strong in the past, and now that he had been in secluded meditation for a long time, he was naturally even stronger. In truth, cultivators like him were the majority of the people in this trial by fire.

“I’ve been in secluded meditation for many years, and now that I’ve mastered the Dao of Music, I’m going to take on a new master for the trial by fire. All of this seems like a coincidence, but in truth, it’s a sign that my good fortune is about to arrive

“This time, I’ll definitely rise to prominence, and everyone will be shocked!”The murmuring voice merged into the rustling sound, and as it became more and more excited, the invisible figure began to move faster and faster.

“Now, we wait for the opponent to arrive

“Once he steps into this forest, he will definitely be defeated. Furthermore, the sound of my music will not be detected here…”

As he sped up, more leaves swayed, and the wind seemed to grow stronger.

However… no matter how the person sped up, how violent the wind was, and how the rustling sound became more and more soul-stirring, he still did not meet his opponent.

That was because… at that moment, Wang Baole was not in the forest. The melody formed by his figure had been circling around a nearby mountain peak for a long time. The figure hidden in the melody was curiously sizing up the forest below.

“It’s said that the Dao of music cultivates the sound of all things. Now that I see it, it seems like it’s true. There’s actually someone who can form the sound of leaves swaying…”Wang Baole was very interested in this, which was why he did not go over immediately, instead, he listened for a while.

No one could see the figure of the dao of music cultivator, but Wang Baole’s existence was very strange. Perhaps it was because he could transform into something strange, which allowed him to see clearly in the forest when he looked, the figure that was moving rapidly.

Even though the figure was integrated into the melody, it was still very clear to Wang Baole.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Wang Baole seemed to have had enough and was about to head over. However, at that moment, he suddenly let out a soft exclamation of surprise. He noticed that there were now dozens of additional symbols in his body.

This works too? Wang baole blinked his eyes. Although he was still heading over, he did not get too close. Instead, he stopped outside the forest. Soon, his mind was filled with surprise and joy.

That was because, at such a distance, he realized that the speed at which the runes in his body were increasing was getting faster and faster. In almost every breath, one would form.

The frequency was almost the same as when he was comprehending the blue delight fish.

Therefore, in the midst of his pleasant surprise, Wang Baole didn’t attack immediately. Instead, he focused on Listening and comprehending the runes. Two hours passed quickly like that..

The dao of music cultivator was already very impatient. The notes that he had gathered in the forest were like a storm, causing him to snort coldly.

It seems like he’s hiding and doesn’t dare come out, but… What’s the use of that! The dao of music cultivator thought disdainfully. It would have been fine if the other party had appeared earlier, but now that he had given himself a chance to gather his strength, even if he were to hide.., he was confident that he could find the other party.

With that thought in mind, the storm of musical notes that had gathered in the forest suddenly spread out like a huge wave. With the forest as the center, it spread out in all directions, enveloping the entire battlefield.

“Let me see where you’re hiding!”The music cultivator laughed viciously as his divine sense spread out along with the musical notes. However, in the next moment, his expression turned suspicious.

That was because… he didn’t sense anything strange within the range of the music notes. It was as if his opponent… really didn’t exist.

“This…”the cultivator from the dao of music couldn’t help but hesitate. After carefully examining the area again, he still found nothing. This caused many speculations to arise in his heart.

“Is it because I’m hiding too deeply? or… do I have no opponent?” He searched carefully for a long time, but he still didn’t find anything. He didn’t encounter any danger either. Even though the music dao cultivator found it unbelievable, he still couldn’t help but be at a loss.

Am I really left empty-handed? No opponents have appeared here? With such thoughts in mind, his notes became lighter than before because there was no subsequent wind blowing. The rustling of leaves began to decrease.

To him, this was nothing. However, to Wang Baole, who was sitting not too far away, the dao of music cultivator did not notice it. It was as if he could not see it. The decrease in rustling meant that his comprehension had decreased.

“Cough, fellow Daoist, I’m just a little bit away from perfection. Do you want to run another lap?”Wang Baole felt that he was a reasonable person. Therefore, even though he was not satisfied, he still coughed and tried to console him.

“Who is it!”

The cultivator from the dao of music felt as if his scalp was about to explode. His expression changed drastically, and he turned his head abruptly. However, there was nothing in sight. However, the coughing and the words he had said earlier were real, and it caused a huge wave in his mind.
