Weapon Master

Chapter 399 - Repeated Defeat

Flowing light covered his body and a golden light shined.

In the next moment, Tang Huan felt that he was inside a golden, illusory space. He knew that he should already be in Stage Nine Martial Saint in this place, but before he had the chance to experience it properly, he felt an exceptionally terrifying aura and pressure.

Tens of meters away from him, a golden figure stood tall and imposing like a towering mountain, causing Tang Huan to be unable to breath.

"Chi!"

A sharp whistling sound suddenly resounded in this illusionary space.

Tang Huan immediately felt his entire body being locked down by a sharp and scorching Qi, which was actually a golden long spear shooting at him from the other side.

Its speed was so fast that Tang Huan was completely unable to react in time.

Just a moment ago, he had caught sight of the shadow of the spear, and in the next instant, the sharp spear head had already arrived in front of his chest.

Let alone using the Dragon and Phoenix Lance to counterattack, Tang Huan couldn't even dodge it. His body was actually not listening to him at all.

"En!"

In a split-second, the golden spear had pierced through Tang Huan's chest. Intense pain seemed to directly surge out from the depths of his soul, causing Tang Huan to groan in pain. After the flick of a finger, the spear in Golden Man's hand trembled, and a terrifying power, with the spear head as the center, exploded inside Tang Huan's body.

Then, Tang Huan felt his vision go black, and he woke up. The golden light flowing on his body was like a receding river, quickly returning to the golden figure that was pressed down by his hand.

"Failed?"

Tang Huan was startled as he looked at the golden color on the wall.

The opponent to be defeated in the ninth floor's trial was the Stage Nine Martial Saint. When Tang Huan's body made from his soul consciousness entered the illusionary space, he was also a Stage Nine Martial Saint.

In this period of time, Tang Huan had climbed up the levels, and constantly defeated layers of opponents. After each victory, his strength had increased, which made his self-confidence explode. He felt that passing the ninth floor was not a big problem, since both sides were Stage Nine Martial Saint s.

But the experience just now was equivalent to pouring cold water on Tang Huan, allowing him to immediately wake up.

Inside the illusory space, he was a Stage Nine Martial Saint, but in reality, he was still a Martial Lord of the eighth step.

The tempering and enlightenment he had gained before entering Stage Nine Martial Saint, even if he was suddenly granted the cultivation of Stage Nine Martial Saint, he didn't know how to utilize it nor did he know how to unleash it. This was to say that the him in the illusory space only had the cultivation of the Stage Nine Martial Saint and not the strength of the Stage Nine Martial Saint.

"Initially, I thought I could reach the top of the golden altar in a single go. However, now, I know that it isn't easy to pass the final level. I truly overestimate myself."

Tang Huan regained his senses and laughed at himself, the experience just now gave Tang Huan a big blow.

Ever since he started cultivating, he had never faced anyone who was on the same level as him. He had thought that even though he was only a Martial Lord of the eighth step, he would still be able to receive a few blows from them. However, when he was in the illusory space, he didn't even have to use a single move before he was killed by the Stage Nine Golden Man.

It was fortunate that it was an illusory space, not a real world. Otherwise, Tang Huan would have already been turned into a corpse.

Tang Huan sighed secretly, and looked around in the blink of an eye.

Many experts of the three races were still fighting relentlessly, either trying to motivate their opponents or immersing themselves in the illusory space to fight. They wanted to reach the highest point of the ninth layer of the golden altar, and the "Seven Colored Spirit Mouse" at the foot of the golden altar was also constantly waving its little claws, encouraging him.

"It's just a single failure, how can I be discouraged?"

Tang Huan suddenly revealed a smile, "Shan Shan risked his life to kill the star beast that was protecting the 'Seven Glorious Star Plate' and successfully passed the 'Celestial Yin Space' test. Only then did he activate the 'Seven Glorious Star Plate' to reveal the world. Shan Shan is the same as herself, she is also a Martial Lord of the 8th step, she can even do such difficult things, and as a newcomer, without star beasts blocking her, she can just condense her spirit body through the 'Sun Space' trial, how can she give up so easily! "

"In any case, we still have a long way to go. If one time is not enough, then two times. If two times is not enough, then three times. Even if we only improve by a bit each time, there will still be times of success."

Tang Huan's mind shook, and quickly adjusted his mental state.

The young experts of the second, third, and fourth floor had all experienced many failures before ascending to their current positions.

Compared to them, Tang Huan held an innate advantage. The existence of the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" not only was able to quickly activate the golden figure on the wall of each level and enter the illusory space, it also allowed him to defeat his opponent with an even faster speed.

With such good conditions, Tang Huan had no reason to be discouraged by the failure of this golden altar in the ninth floor.

However, Tang Huan did not immediately enter the illusory space. Instead, he sat cross-legged under the wall on the ninth floor of the Golden Altar.

The scene of the Stage Nine Golden Man making a move just now flashed through his mind time and time again … …

Shen Guan's figure also appeared from time to time. He was the only Stage Nine Martial Saint that Tang Huan had ever seen. There was no doubt that the Great Elder of the Divine Weapon Pavilion was strong. Although he had been restraining his aura the entire time, he would occasionally reveal a little of his power, just like when he was in the Furious Waves City's martial arts arena. The aura and pressure released by Shen Guan's body was extremely terrifying, causing one's soul to tremble.

Time flew, Tang Huan combined the experiences in the illusionary space with what he had experienced in the Tang Family's martial arts arena, and faintly comprehended.

After an unknown period of time, Tang Huan finally straightened his body and lifted his hand, pressing it against the golden figure that was on the wall.

"Buzz!"

With a clear and melodious cry, Tang Huan's body was once again covered by the golden light.

The moment he entered the illusory space, before Tang Huan could even see clearly the figure of the Stage Nine Golden Man, he had already pushed both the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" and the "Five Colors Spiritual Pills" inside his body to their limits. The majestic and vast Genuine Qi was surging crazily in his body as the long spear in his hands danced in the air.

A terrifying heat swept out and instantly filled every corner of this illusionary space.

"Chi!"

But right at this moment, a sharp and ear-piercing whistle sounded in Tang Huan's ears, that terrifying pressure swept out once again, and immediately following that, a golden rainbow pierced through Pang Shuo's fireball, but the opponent's spear pierced over, causing Tang Huan to feel as though his entire body was locked down.

"Clang!"

In the midst of the collision sound, the dragon and phoenix spears in Tang Huan's hands were immediately pulled out, and the golden spear whizzed over as fast as lightning. Tang Huan's body was slightly shifted a few inches, his chest was pierced straight through, and that intense piercing pain once again surged out from the depths of his soul.
