Chapter 113: I Hope Nothing Happens
"Team 10 wins," Long Wei's voice resonated through the venue.
The announcement left everyone astonished, their faces displaying a mix of surprise and shock.
No one could find the words to speak, as the turn of events was simply too astonishing to comprehend.
Qiu Xufeng, a prominent figure among the top 10 of the continent's newest generation, found himself defeated by an enigmatic man whose origins remained a mystery to everyone present here.
"Bastard!" Zou Yang cursed angrily, unable to accept this.
The atmosphere was tense and filled with disbelief.
"Imp-Impossible!" Wang Hao exclaimed, unable to comprehend the outcome.
"Hahaha! Excellent, excellent!" Long Wei wore a smug and contented expression, resembling someone who had stumbled upon a valuable treasure.
"This kid just used at least 20% of the lightning law a moment ago.
I can't be mistaken about this. For a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator to master 20% of any law is undoubtedly remarkable, but what's even more astonishing is that he can actually utilise it!"
Hahahaha! That shows his body can handle it without harm; his physique must be extraordinary!
This is truly unbelievable!" Long Wei marveled inwardly, his sense of disbelief escalating.
He couldn't wrap his mind around how someone at the Qi Refinement Realm could exhibit such extraordinary mastery over a law. It was utterly incomprehensible to him.
Long Wei couldn't hide his happiness. He knew that what he had just observed was genuinely exceptional.
The fact that this young boy could wield 20% of a law without experiencing any harm to his body was truly incredible.
It hinted at the possibility that his body had surpassed the strength of a Qi Refinement Realm body cultivator.
"I truly wished to examine his body, but...
I couldn't check his body that time because of what happened last time."
Long Wei's body shuddered with fear, recalling the incident from the past when his body had been effortlessly crushed by a massive hand.
This memory held him back from attempting the same action this time.
Yet, witnessing the young boy seamlessly use such a high percentage of the law without any apparent harmful effects only deepened Long Wei's curiosity and fascination.
He couldn't help but wonder what other hidden talents and abilities this boy possessed.
"Long Wei, have you completed the second trial?" Su Linhua's voice echoed in Long Wei's mind, bringing him back to the present moment.
"Hm, not yet. There's still one more match to go before it concludes," Long Wei responded to Su Linhua.
"Then hurry up; I'm done with my part here," Su Linhua urged.
"Alright, you can proceed to the final trial, and I'll follow closely behind," Long Wei nodded in agreement.
After concluding his conversation with Su Linhua, Long Wei gestured with his palm, and in an instant, Chen Tian and Yin Yun vanished from the arena and reappeared suspended in mid-air.
Yin Yun remained visibly shocked, struggling to grasp the events that had just unfolded, which left her momentarily stunned.
In her astonishment, she even forgot that she was still being cradled in Chen Tian's arms.
"How did we manage to win?" she wondered, her memories blurred. All she could recall was Chen Tian embracing her, and then Qiu Xufeng launching an attack against them.
Afterward, she found herself positioned behind Qiu Xufeng and Chen Tian, witnessing a swift sword slash that took care of Qiu Xufeng.
"Wait, in his arms?" Yin Yun glanced down at herself, noticing that she was indeed still held within Chen Tian's embrace.
Feeling a mixture of embarrassment and gratitude for his protection, she swiftly disentangled herself from him.
As she reflected on the recent events, Yin Yun couldn't help but be amazed by Chen Tian's prowess and quick thinking.
It was his swift action that led to their victory against Qiu Xufeng.
In a soft voice, Yin Yun mustered the courage to ask, "C-Can you put me down?" Her cheeks remained flushed with embarrassment.
Chen Tian nodded and gently returned her to her feet, his touch lingering for a moment longer than necessary.
Yin Yun couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment as she realized their brief moment of closeness was coming to an end.
"What am I thinking?" Her mind was consumed with thoughts of Chen Tian.
However, she knew that there were more pressing matters at hand, which is why she returned her attention to the present moment.
Yin Yun took a deep breath, pushing aside her personal feelings for Chen Tian. "Thank you, Chen Tian," she said sincerely, her voice filled with gratitude.
"I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't been there to help me."
"No, you don't have to thank me." Chen Tian shook his head and said, "We are partners after all. It's my duty to look out for you." Yin Yun smiled, appreciating his words.
"The final battle has started." Long Wei's voice resonated throughout the area.
Chen Tian's and Yin Yun's attention was directed towards the arena where the last team was fighting.
The battle didn't have the same level of intrigue or excitement as Chen Tian's or Zou Yang's team battle.
The teams were composed of two women facing off against two other women, but the fight seemed to lack the intensity and thrill of the previous fights.
Chen Tian and Yin Yun watched as the two teams exchanged blows, but it was clear that neither side was giving it their all.
Despite this, Chen Tian and Yin Yun remained focused, knowing that this was the final battle and the outcome would determine their fate in the trial.
The exchange of blows between the two teams continued, but it was clear that they were testing each other's skills at the beginning of the fight, rather than going all out.
Eventually, the battle reached a conclusion after several minutes of fighting.
Once the victorious team returned to their designated spot, the defeated team vanished from the trial area.
"Now that the second trial has concluded, we have 40 participants who have qualified to enter the final trial," Long Wei's voice boomed loudly, ensuring that everyone present could hear him clearly.
"Finally, it's coming to an end," Chen Tian mused to himself. Having spent half a month away from Earth, he already began to miss his two sisters, Aunt, and Emillia.
He considered, "For them, it must have been merely a day and a half since they last saw me."
The time difference between the cultivation world and Earth is such that one day on Earth is equivalent to ten days in the cultivation world.
Chen Tian feels a sense of relief as the trial is approaching its conclusion.
"I hope nothing happens there while I'm away," Chen Tian thought with concern.
"With that, let's head to the location of the last trial," Long Wei declared, and in an instant, everyone in the area disappeared.
