Chapter 688

"Buzz buzz!"

The moment he stepped into the eighth gate trial planet, Lin Qi felt bursts of familiar aura.

Bursts of sharp aura permeated the air, like small knives cutting on his skin.

In front of him was a golden planet; golden particles permeated the air, constantly vibrating, condensing into countless golden threads.

The golden threads constantly combined, some condensing into long swords, and others into the appearance of various weapons like sharp blades.

At the same time, the golden threads also condensed together, cutting the air!

This was a world condensed from the Law of Metal; the air was filled with metal particles!

【Heart Trial Eighth Gate: Metal Trial!】

【Trial content: Endure the impact of the Law of Metal, arrive at the finish line from the start, a total of 100 kilometers……!】

"It really is the Metal Trial!"

"This gate is helpful to Mo Jun of the Tianjiao Star Field; what he comprehended is the Law of Metal."

"In the first seven gates, he was able to firmly stay in the top ten; in the previous Thunder Trial, he even reached third place."

"After the Heart Trial ends, he might firmly stay in the top three position!"

"It is said that he possesses a special physique—the Divine Sharp Physique, naturally close to the Law of Metal, and has unique conditions for comprehending the Law of Metal!"

"In the future, there is a very high probability that he will be able to break through and become a powerhouse of the Universe Fifth Realm!"

The person speaking was a man wearing golden armor, with a sturdy build, distinct features, and bronze-colored skin.

He had golden hair, purple pupils, and was born with a pair of black horns, which contained golden patterns.

His gaze was sharp and deep.

His aura was fierce; among many top geniuses, he was also an extremely powerful one.

Lin Qi looked at the other party, who was the same as him, having comprehended the Law of Metal and also having a special physique.

His aura was fierce; he was definitely a formidable enemy!

Since the seven gates of the Heart Trial, he had already seen several special physiques.

Counting carefully, the number was actually almost exceeding 10.

Geniuses gathered; special physiques that were rarely seen in a star field were all gathered here.

Wanting to compete for the championship, they were all opponents of the future.

Everyone sat cross-legged, preparing to rest for a while before starting the eighth gate!

……

One day later, time arrived at the 21st day!

【Time has arrived, contestants who have not cleared the gate are eliminated!】

In the seventh gate, following the announcement of the intelligent voice, the contestants who had not cleared the gate were all eliminated and teleported out.

"Finally over, it was too agonizing!"

"I am destined not to enter the Supreme Forces!"

"Talent, willpower, I am not enough; I really don't have the qualifications to enter the Supreme Forces!"

"I have tried my best; next, I just need to watch others continue to be tortured!"

Countless contestants in the contestant space, after seven consecutive gates of tossing, many contestants' willpower had completely failed to hold on.

After being eliminated, they also relaxed.

They were all top geniuses of their respective star fields and had not suffered much hardship since childhood.

Even if there was a little unwillingness in their hearts, facing the Heart Trial, they did not want to come again.

Only a small number of contestants had strong obsessions and were still unwilling, but they had already been eliminated.

Eighth gate Metal Trial planet, on the starting line.

A large group of contestants finished recovering and opened their eyes one after another.

Lin Qi was the same; having rested for a day, they needed to start a new gate.

He looked at the big screen; in the previous round of the Thunder Trial, 330,000 geniuses had 200,000 directly eliminated.

Currently, there were only 130,000 contestants left.

"Only the last two gates left; as long as we endure, we can pass the finish line!"

Jiang Tao's face was still exhausted; the time he took to reach the finish line was getting slower and slower, and the time for recovery was getting less and less.

Whether he had recovered 60% now was an unknown.

He was still in the top 100, but others recovered even less, and many were eliminated in this eighth gate.

"Buzz!"

Just as he was thinking, several figures had already stepped out of the red line and entered the trial.

Lin Qi saw this and did not have the slightest hesitation; he crossed the red line and entered the trial.

"Clang clang!!"

The moment he stepped out, the Golden Gangjin in his body automatically circulated.

Instantly, he felt invisible sharpness, like sharp blades slashing on his body.

Colliding with his Golden Gangjin, it made a sound like weapons colliding.

He felt like he had stepped into the domain of a master; although the golden sharpness was not strong, it would continuously release sharpness to impact him.

However, Lin Qi was exceptionally familiar with sharpness; he could see golden threads in the air dancing wildly.

The Law of Metal descended, and a part of it was mobilized by him, circling around to resist the golden sharpness.

His body suddenly felt much more relaxed!

"This is indeed very friendly to those who have comprehended the Law of Metal!"

Lin Qi sighed in his heart and began to walk forward with big strides.

He had already recovered 80% of his stamina, and now that he had encountered the Metal Trial most suitable for himself, he could completely rush for first place.

But!

"I can comprehend the Law of Metal by observing these sharpnesses!"

Lin Qi looked at the golden sharpnesses around him, which had different trajectories and different sharpnesses combined by the Law of Metal.

Some were like liquid mercury, some were like golden tornadoes, and others were like red-golden flames burning.

It simply opened his eyes; it contained five true meanings of the Law of Metal, and now they were all displayed.

If he observed them well, his comprehension of the Law of Metal would also greatly improve.

"Comprehend while walking!"

Lin Qi made a decision instantly; without affecting his ranking, he would observe the Law of Metal!

It had to be said that such an environment was simply a holy land for naturally comprehending the power of the law!

He guessed that perhaps those virtual worlds that allowed people to observe the power of the law were probably like this.

If he could observe it by spending hundreds of thousands, millions, or even millions of Deep Space Coins, he would absolutely pay without hesitation.

"Clang clang!!"

At every moment, different sharpnesses slashed on his body.

Many contestants, facing the metal storm condensed by the Law of Metal, found it difficult to move an inch.

And some geniuses, such as Mo Jun from the Tianjiao Star Field, walked forward with big strides, and his speed was very fast.

He possessed a special physique—the Divine Sharp Physique.

He had an extremely strong affinity for the Law of Metal; facing the sharpness, his whole body bloomed with dazzling golden light, and facing the impact, he seemed not to be hindered.

His speed became faster and faster, leaving others behind and becoming the first place.

"This guy's speed is really fast!"

Gu Gu Taao, whose whole body was like steel forging and whose body was like an iron tower, released earth-yellow Golden Gangjin, endured the sharpness, and moved forward quickly!

Instantly entered the top five.

At the same time, Yao Yu, as well as geniuses like Bai Lan, Lan, and Pan Kai, were also following behind, but the gap was getting bigger and bigger!

Gradually, they were pulled away by a distance of a hundred meters!

At the same time, geniuses who had also comprehended the Law of Metal began to stand out.

For example, Sun Sheng!

Sun Sheng, wearing golden armor, had awakened both metal and earth abilities.

But he only comprehended the Law of Earth!

He did not comprehend the Law of Metal, but because he had awakened a metal-attribute ability,

so he would be more relaxed than other contestants when enduring the metal sharpness.

Thus, he soon became the person closest to Lin Qi among the Lan Xing group.

A few hours later, he entered the top one hundred.

There were quite a few geniuses around who had comprehended the Law of Metal, with bursts of golden light circling around their bodies, colliding with the sharpness.

"There really are many masters!"

"It's a pity I haven't comprehended the Law of Metal; I can only rely on willpower to persist!"

Sun Sheng shook his head; his pair of red pupils looked at the sharpness around him, vaguely seeing the Law of Metal, and the more he looked, the more familiar he felt.

"I once spent 5 million Deep Space Coins to purchase a quota to enter the Tianzhu Mountain world, entering it to comprehend the Law of Earth."

"And this trial planet now is very similar to the Tianzhu Mountain world; although it is not as good as a world specifically provided for comprehension, I feel I can comprehend the Law of Metal."

"If I could stay in it for a long time to comprehend, my Law of Metal could also be comprehended."

"It's a pity there are only three days!"

Sun Sheng felt sorry in his heart and could only continue to walk forward; he looked at Lin Qi's figure in front, took him as a target, and followed closely behind.

……

Time passed slowly; in the golden world, it was shrouded by countless sharpnesses.

Contestants constantly reached their limits, their bodies could not support it, and they fell and were eliminated.

The number of geniuses constantly decreased.

A teenager wearing black armor, his figure was lean and capable, and his whole body radiated two layers of earth-yellow patterns.

His expression was firm, but the exhaustion all over his body could not be covered up!

He was a mental cultivator, so his physical fitness was not strong enough.

He felt that his body had already reached its limit, but he did not want to give up.

"I must enter the Supreme Forces!"

"I want to resurrect my sister, I want to resurrect my dad and mom; only the powerhouses of the Supreme Forces have the ability!"

"I want to go in, I want to prove my talent, I want to become stronger!"

The earth-yellow patterns on his body also became dim; his source energy had been exhausted, and absorbing source energy from the air could no longer keep up with the speed of recovery. His stamina had also reached its limit.

The reason he could persist until now was purely relying on willpower!

He followed at the very back of the team with a firm gaze.

"Boom!"

A contestant in front of him fell and was eliminated, but he still persisted.

He relied on one breath, persisting all along; he didn't know how long he had walked, but his willpower was becoming more and more blurred.

Finally, he also fell.

"Boom!"

His body was cut by the golden sharpness and turned into nothingness and dissipated.

……

At this time, in the high-level spectator seats.

Among the high-level officials of the major forces of the Xuanyi Star Field, a middle-aged man wearing a black robe with a cold expression nodded after seeing it:

"Dino is even more outstanding than I imagined; he comes from a small planet civilization, and his parents and family were all slaughtered by cosmic wanted criminals."

"He himself was also rescued by the Patrol Guard, and at the same time, he showed extremely strong mental talent."

"He has only joined the Xuanyi Dao Academy for 10 years and has already broken through to the peak of the Yu Kong Realm."

"If given a few more years, he would also be able to comprehend the power of the law!"

"Without comprehending the power of the law, and the secret manuals he practiced were not the most exquisite, yet he could walk to the seventh gate and surpass over a million contestants."

"What he relied on was only his own willpower!"

"His talent and obsession to become stronger have already been proven."

"If he doesn't choose to participate in the next session of the Deep Space Genius Competition, then I will take him as a disciple!"

Other high-level officials listened and also discussed it one after another.

"I also think highly of Dino; I will also take such a genius as a disciple."

……

The competition was still continuing; those who reached the eighth gate had already proven their talent, even if they were eliminated.

They also proved their willpower.

Many high-level officials also decided to start taking disciples.

As for other contestants, they were still working hard for a higher ranking.

"Clang clang!!"

Lin Qi listened to the sound of collision in his ears; that was the figure of the Law of Metal.

He wore black-gold armor, was wrapped in a metal storm group, and invisible metal blades constantly cut his body.

His eyes bloomed with golden light, special patterns flowed, and at the same time, he looked at the Law of Metal in the air.

5 true meanings were displayed in front of his eyes in turns.

His body moved mechanically, but his brain was constantly practicing the "Extinguishing World Spear Canon".

Among them, the five volumes of spear techniques corresponded to the five true meanings respectively.

The movement trajectory of the law corresponded to the five volumes of the spear technique, constantly fitting, constantly understanding, and constantly comprehending.

His comprehension of the law constantly improved and then merged into the spear technique.

Time passed bit by bit.

Finally, two days later, his eyes became agile, and a burst of enlightenment surged into his heart.

【You observed the operation of the law in the Metal Trial, your comprehension of the Law of Metal has improved, you merged the law into the spear technique, your mastery of the "Extinguishing World Spear Canon" has gone up a level, spear technique +1%】

【Spear technique: Sixth Realm 11% → Sixth Realm 12%】

……

"Hoo~"

Lin Qi saw the information popped up on the golden panel and suddenly revealed a smile.

"Truly a big harvest!"

"I didn't expect that during the trial, my spear technique realm could actually improve."

"This has raised my combat power by another level!"

Lin Qi was very satisfied; if he stayed for a while longer, he would comprehend more.

But now he was still in the trial; bursts of exhaustion had already surged into his heart, his muscles were sore and numb, and his body felt heavy unavoidably.

Even his forward speed began to slow down.

He looked up at the big screen; 47 hours had passed since the eighth gate started!

It was close to two days; he looked forward, the total distance was 100 kilometers.

At this time, Lin Qi had walked to 99 kilometers, according to the difference, it was the "last kilometer", which was 1000 meters!

In front of him at this time, there were only four people left; the one at the very front was Mo Jun, who was less than 10 meters away from the finish line at this time.

【Let us congratulate contestant Mo Jun from the Tianjiao Star Field; he has become the first contestant to pass the Heart Trial, the eighth gate Metal Trial!】

Following Mo Jun stepping onto the finish line, he became the first contestant to clear the gate.

All the contestants behind heard the announcement of the intelligent voice.

"Cleared the gate so fast?"

"As expected of a monster with a special physique; it's not something we ordinary geniuses can compare to."

Mo Jun, standing at the finish line, had a calm expression, but the exhaustion of his body could not resist the excitement in his heart.

"First place, it's finally my turn!"

"With my willpower, the illusion test has no difficulty for me."

"Rest for a while, pass the ninth gate in one breath, and become the first place at the final point!"

He turned his head to look at the few people behind, suddenly revealed a smile, turned around, and stepped into the space wormhole of the last gate.

At the same time, other contestants also began to accelerate!

Lin Qi was the same; he looked at the 4 people in front, besides Yao Yu, Shen Tu Zhen, and Bai Lan, there was also a top genius from the Tianyuan Star Field—Meng Nuo.

"Hoo~"

Lin Qi spat out a mouthful of turbid air, then began to accelerate!

With his deeper comprehension of the Law of Metal, he could mobilize more of the Law of Metal.

"Clang clang!!"

Golden blades slashed out, and a metal storm circled around him.

The color of the golden Golden Gangjin on Lin Qi's body became deep, and the dark golden Golden Gangjin instantly swallowed the golden blades.

He began to walk forward with big strides.

His speed became faster and faster!

In a short while, he surpassed Yao Yu in front.

The other party, seeing Lin Qi surpass him, suddenly frowned.

"This Lin Qi's strength is even stronger than imagined; he doesn't seem to be a simple galaxy-level genius."

"Otherwise, how could it be possible to enter the ranks of the top ten."

Yao Yu vaguely had a guess; his chest skin vibrated violently, mobilizing his body muscles, Golden Gangjin, and the hidden power in his body.

The scorching aura became more and more intense, and he also began to accelerate his pace!

But the gap with Lin Qi became bigger and bigger instead.

3 minutes later, the strongest genius of the Tianyuan Star Field—Meng Nuo.

Successfully promoted, becoming the second genius to clear the gate, and at the same time, he was also the second place of the seventh gate.

And Lin Qi was already in the fifth place position at this time; in front were only Shen Tu Zhen and Bai Lan.

His pace became faster and faster!

His heart was like a super engine, and power surged out continuously.

One minute later, successfully surpassed Shen Tu Zhen!

Three minutes later, successfully surpassed Bai Lan!

In the surprised eyes of the two, Lin Qi was only 50 meters away from the finish line!

Five minutes later.

【Congratulations to contestant Lin Qi from the Mount Lieyang Star Field for becoming the third genius to successfully pass the Heart Trial, the eighth gate Metal Trial!】

Lin Qi stepped into the finish line with one foot.

The sharpness vibrating at high speed around his body dissipated, and his whole body felt relaxed.

Listening to the announcement on the electronic screen, he also breathed out a sigh.

"Third place, not bad!"

Lin Qi was quite satisfied with his ranking; if he didn't comprehend the Law of Metal but rushed with all his strength, first place should be no problem.

However, there was still one gate left; rushing for first place in the last gate was also no problem.

Just as he was thinking, the big screen announced again.

Bai Lan and Shen Tu Zhen also arrived at the finish line one after another.

Bai Lan looked at Lin Qi and frowned:

"Even if you comprehended the Law of Metal, you shouldn't be faster than us!"

"Careless for a moment, didn't expect to let you surpass me!"

Shen Tu Zhen was a burly and handsome man with a firm expression and a domineering aura radiating from his whole body.

He saw Lin Qi and nodded: "You are very good!"

"You are a master!"

Lin Qi smiled: "Thank you for the praise!"

Facing Bai Lan's words, he did not answer, which made the other party frown, suddenly feeling unhappy, and sneered in her heart:

"Just faster than me, yet so arrogant."

"Don't think this is your own strength, right?"

"This is just a Heart Trial, it doesn't represent real combat power!"

"Every year there will be a few dark horses showing extraordinary willpower, even able to rush into the top rankings."

"After the Heart Trial, he will understand that heart and willpower are not equal to combat power."

"If the two of us face off, I have the confidence to defeat him within ten moves!"

Bai Lan thought of this, raised her slender swan neck again, walked into the space wormhole, and was teleported to the ninth gate.
