Chapter 167: The gloating Western Alliance prodigies! The disillusioned Semi-Saint examiners!

Inside the stone tablet space,

Su Yu, who was meditating, was fully immersed in the rapid improvement brought by the lightning body refining.

One had to admit,

as the most precious inheritance in the entire Semi-Saint relic secret realm,

the corresponding difficulty of the Heaven-rank trial was also quite terrifying!

Su Yu had originally thought

that the physical improvement brought by the Gale Channel was already quite rare,

having forcibly raised his physical strength from Diamond Four-Star to a level comparable to Diamond Eight-Star!

But after entering this trial space,

Su Yu was surprised to find

that he had still underestimated it!

Bolt after bolt of lightning struck down,

and as time passed,

the lightning in this trial space was still continuously strengthening!

The improvement to Su Yu's physical body was naturally becoming more and more significant!

"If this continues, my physical strength might break through the Diamond-rank bottleneck before my source energy cultivation, reaching a level comparable to the Apocalypse rank!"

In Su Yu's eyes,

an unconcealable anticipation emerged!

Immediately,

he closed his eyes again and threw himself heart and soul into his cultivation!

……

Su Yu was focused on his quiet cultivation,

while outside the stone tablet space,

the side of the golden palace was bustling to the extreme!

This golden palace

was the most mysterious place in the entire Land of Ruins.

Naturally, it had attracted the attention of many top-tier prodigies!

When they arrived here,

they were, without exception, shocked by the stone tablet standing before the palace.

It wasn't the grandeur of the stone tablet that shocked them,

but the energy fluctuations continuously flowing out from within it!

"These fluctuations, I fear even a peak Diamond-rank Card Master would find it hard to resist!"

"Is Su Yu inside there, undergoing the trial?"

"How long has he been holding on? Has it been a day?"

Many prodigies were whispering.

Especially the Western Alliance prodigies,

whose eyes were unkind as they looked at the stone tablet.

The prodigy candidates gathered here

were all the top-tier existences.

It was precisely because they had absolute confidence in their own strength

that,

upon entering this Land of Ruins,

they had all rushed directly to this golden palace without a second thought.

Yet they hadn't expected

that despite rushing, they were still a step behind Su Yu!

"What a pity; if we could have arrived a step earlier, this opportunity would surely have been obtained by our Western Alliance!"

A top-tier Western Alliance prodigy spoke coldly,

his eyes looking at the stone tablet with unconcealed eagerness and jealousy!

Hearing the words of this Western Alliance prodigy,

beside Xi Chuanyue,

Qing Qing Shiyu sneered.

"Obtained by your Western Alliance? In the Gale Channel, you couldn't beat student Su Yu, and now, you still have the face to spout such nonsense here?"

"You!"

Hearing Qing Qing Shiyu's words,

the expression of that Western Alliance prodigy immediately became extremely ugly.

However,

before he could release his aura,

beside Qing Qing Shiyu,

Lei Lan, Xi Chuanyue, Nangong Ling, Situ Xue... the various top-tier Nine Provinces prodigies

all stepped forward in unison.

Looking at that Western Alliance prodigy,

their eyes held not a shred of fear!

The overall strength of the Nine Provinces prodigies was no longer what it used to be.

Even if there was still a slight gap compared to the Western Alliance,

it was no longer as huge as it had been when the Prodigy Tournament first began.

Facing the strong aura of the various top-tier Nine Provinces prodigies,

that Western Alliance prodigy, no matter how unwilling,

could only retreat a step in frustration,

not daring to talk any more nonsense.

Just then,

"Hum!"

A fluctuation far exceeding everyone's expectations

surged out from the stone tablet!

"Boom!"

At this moment,

not only the prodigy candidates present,

but even the viewers outside had their attention drawn,

and they all subconsciously looked over!

Immediately, they were all stunned in place!

With the stone tablet as the center,

a tangible power of thunder surged out,

creating ripples in the void and turning the ten-mile radius in front of this golden palace

into a forbidden zone for living beings!

Especially eye-catching

was the terrifying destructive fluctuation contained within this thunder power!

It was a terrifying power that even an Apocalypse-rank Grandmaster would find hard to resist!

"The trial in this stone tablet will continuously increase in difficulty as time passes!"

Looking at the phenomenon suddenly erupting from the stone tablet,

all the prodigies couldn't help but gasp.

Immediately,

those Western Alliance candidates who had originally been forced back by the aura of the Nine Provinces prodigies

all revealed gloating smiles!

"Hahaha, weren't the Nine Provinces prodigies very arrogant before?"

"With such a terrifying trial, let's see how they can be arrogant now!"

"With such power, even if Su Yu can luckily save his life, he will likely be severely injured!"

· ········Begging for flowers···· ·······

"As for obtaining the secret treasure?"

Whether it was the Western Alliance prodigy candidates

or the viewers from Many Fusang and the Western Alliance outside,

they all sneered repeatedly!

They felt that Su Yu had completely lost all hope!

Even

the Nine Provinces Card Master Grandmasters

had lost confidence in Su Yu!

However,

just when everyone thought that Su Yu had lost the chance for the most precious secret treasure in this Semi-Saint relic,

in the Hanging City,

the six Semi-Saint examiners,

at this very moment, looking at Su Yu's figure reflected on the light screen,

had eyes that were complex to the extreme!

In the eyes of the many prodigies outside,

and even to the viewers around the world,

the sudden energy anomaly erupting from the stone tablet

was caused by Su Yu delaying too long in the stone tablet space,

leading to an increase in the difficulty of the lightning trial.

But the actual situation

was known only to the Semi-Saint examiners who had been monitoring the trial space from beginning to end!

……

Inside the trial space!

"Crack!"

Bolt after bolt of red lightning, which even an Apocalypse One-Star Card Master would have to retreat from,

continuously struck down,

heavily bombarding the figure sitting cross-legged and bathed in the sea of thunder!

"Phew..."

Feeling his physical strength slowly increasing again,

Su Yu's eyes were calm, his expression indifferent.

After a long stretch,

he nodded with satisfaction!

"This kind of lightning is what I need!"

Su Yu smiled slightly.

The original lightning

could no longer produce the slightest increase in his physical strength!

Therefore,

after pondering,

Su Yu conceived a bold idea.

That was to forcibly attack the thundercloud that was condensing the bolts of lightning!

If this trial space really had its own intelligence like those relic inheritance secret realms on the Ancient Battlefield,

would this disrespectful act of his rashly attacking

invite an even more violent counterattack?

And then?

And then, Su Yu got exactly what he wanted!

And the six Semi-Saint examiners,

looking at Su Yu, who was bathed in the red divine thunder with an increasingly powerful aura,

felt that their disillusionment with life had reached a new level!

And the six semi-saint examiners.

Watching Su Yu, who was bathed in crimson divine lightning and whose aura was growing ever more powerful.

Simply felt that their disillusionment with life had reached a new realm!
