Chapter 2295: Chapter 2296: Intermediate Level Martial Trial (First Update)
As all the soldiers stepped onto the cable path, it immediately disappeared into the darkness behind them, leaving only the road unknown as to where it led.
Yue Junze looked astonished. He had heard of the martial demonstration process but had never seen such a trial.
Xue An’s face was solemn, "Follow my orders, form up and advance!"
The soldiers immediately switched into marching formation and began to advance quickly.
Meanwhile, the soldiers of the other eleven families completed their first trials, appearing before diverse scenes, but the purpose was the same, testing their marching capabilities.
This left the eleven families all equally astounded.
"What’s going on? The martial demonstrations weren’t like this before!" The Long Family’s Commander-in-Chief looked at the dense rainforest and the winding path through the middle, somewhat startled.
Long Zhan coldly said, "We just need to traverse this forest! What’s the problem?"
The Long Family’s Commander-in-Chief glanced at Long Zhan, hesitating to speak.
"Move out!" Long Zhan disregarded all distractions, commanding in a deep voice.
The soldiers of the Long Family looked to their Commander-in-Chief, who helplessly waved his hand.
"Maintain formation, advance!"
As the Long Family stepped into the forest, the others made the same choice one after another.
Zhongli Wuwang said excitedly, "Now this is an interesting trial, hurry forward, everyone!"
Suddenly, the twelve family branch veins collectively surged forward.
Meanwhile, a disturbance erupted in the hall.
"What’s going on? Why did the progress bar change?" someone exclaimed.
For the progress bar on the screen had shifted from green to orange.
As everyone was bewildered and puzzled, an elderly person with long life suddenly exclaimed in shock.
"Medium level! It’s medium martial demonstration! My god, after a thousand years, the demonstration arena has changed again!"
The term "medium martial demonstration" made many tremble slightly.
For they all remembered an ancient legend.
Legend has it that the demonstration arena was built by a brilliant ancient talent, with its own complete world, controlled by unknown spiritual laws.
In ancient times, when the Bing Family was powerful, every demonstration was almost medium level.
Until the Bing Family’s strength declined, causing the demonstration level to gradually decrease, many people eventually forgot that demonstrations were actually graded.
Today’s change reminded many of their experiences during the Bing Family’s last glory.
Sima Chongzhao looked serious, "What does this medium-level demonstration mean?"
An elder, living for thousands of years, replied solemnly, "It means the difficulty of the demonstration will increase several times over, with ruthless elimination!"
Sima Chongzhao trembled slightly, a flash of danger appearing in his eyes.
In the corner, the members of the Yue Clan appeared solemn.
"How could this happen? Why did it suddenly become medium-level?" Yue Qinghuan asked, face pale.
Yue Hechang also looked pale, taking a deep breath before saying, "It seems the arena detected the presence of someone capable of triggering a level change, hence this transformation!"
"So you mean..."
"That’s right, this demonstration is no different from usual, except for Xue An’s involvement! So he must be the variable!" Yue Hechang said.
Yue Qinghuan fell silent, staring dazedly at the screen, her heart gradually tightening.
For she did not know whether this change was a blessing or a curse.
As everyone in the hall pondered the sudden change in demonstration level, Xue An led the Yue Clan’s soldiers onto a long stretch of the cable path.
This journey was uneventful, save for the raging black river below, with seemingly no obstacles.
Yue Junze relaxed slightly, chuckling, "It seems it’s no big deal! It’s just a cable path; we can walk it for three days if we must!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, the cable path began to tremble.
Yue Junze, startled, was just about to speak when Xue An calmly said, "Prepare yourselves, there’s a fierce wind coming!"
The environment seemed to restrict Xue An’s Divine Sense, preventing him from detecting the surroundings.
Yet he still sensed, from the dark, a growing roar of wind.
Sure enough.
Just as his words fell, a fierce wind blew furiously toward them.
It came so swiftly that the Yue Clan’s soldiers barely had time to prepare before it roared near.
The force was so great that even the cable path began trembling violently.
Additionally, the black river below utilized the immense wind to unleash waves big enough to swallow everything.
"Hold on tight!" Xue An yelled.
But his voice was quickly drowned by the fierce wind.
The wind moved so fast and powerfully, beyond ordinary imagination.
Yue Junze felt like he was punched in the face, dizzy and unaware of the surging tide behind.
Yet as the tide was about to engulf everyone, Xue An stepped forward with a strong breath, punching out intensely.
Bang!
With a thunderous sound, the giant wave was struck, creating a gap, narrowly avoiding the group as it crashed to the sides.
But this was merely the beginning, for at the same time, the cable path behind began to vanish, quickly approaching where Xue An and the others stood.
"Grab the person next to you and advance!" Xue An communicated via Divine Sense to every soldier.
The Yue Clan soldiers remained unruffled, immediately following Xue An’s command, reaching out to hold a person beside them, stepping forward against the fierce wind and mighty waves.
Though the walk was tough, their speed surprisingly did not slow much.
Yet the second trial seemed unwilling to simply let them pass.
They barely advanced a few miles when the pitch-black sky suddenly poured heavy rain.
Calling it rain was an understatement, it was as if river waters were reversed pouring down.
Instantly, everyone was drenched, making the path increasingly difficult.
Yue Junze felt his eyes almost unable to open, unable to see the road ahead.
In his confusion, a warm hand landed on his shoulder, followed by Xue An’s voice.
"Close your eyes, everyone, and hold onto each other, follow me!"
Thus, they moved step by step under Xue An’s guidance.
Below them were towering waves, above them torrential rain, behind the disappearing cable path, and beside them wind monstrous enough to overturn everything.
