Purple Thunder Peak Minor Trial [Nine Calamities Thunder Rush]. Huang Dang withstood the sixth level of thunder strikes! He was descended from a famous general of the Earth Wall Kingdom.
He was not exceptionally tall, but his shoulders and back were thick and solid. He stood there like an iron stele that had been weathered by wind and rain. When the lightning struck, his entire body was charred black, and his clenched teeth clicked, but he never fell.
Rising Clouds Minor Trial [Chaotic Sound Formation]. A hundred chaotic sounds rang out in the arena simultaneously—like weeping and laughing, like drums and bells—agitating the hearts of all who heard them. Gu Tinglan entered the arena carrying a zither.
He was a zither cultivator from a humble background, dressed in plain clothes with a gentle face. The tips of his fingers bore the thin calluses of one who had spent years stroking the strings. Gu Tinglan closed his eyes for a moment, then plucked a string.
Twang. The note was like a clear spring striking stone, and it instantly found the finest flaw among the hundred chaotic sounds. A gentle pluck of the zither teased out that flaw, and the entire Chaotic Sound Formation was torn open like cloth stretched too taut.
Success.
