Though they weren’t knocked out, their arms did sting from being hit by Lin Fan’s punches like this.
All of the sect masters looked at Lin Fan in shock as if they couldn’t believe what just happened.
None of them had expected him to be this strong after all.
They had heard rumours about his strength, but those rumours never said that he was this strong. They thought that with their strength, they would be able to take him down.
But now…
It didn’t seem like they would be able to do a single thing to him with the power that he had shown.
It seemed like they would only end up as casualties if they continued this.
The sect masters looked at each other and they could see the same looks in each other’s eyes. All of them wanted to leave this matter as it was since none of them wanted to lose their dignity like this.
So one of the sect masters took over for the one that fainted and said, “Sect Master Lin, it seems like we’ve reached a difference in opinion. How about we discuss this in the future?”
After he said this, his voice turned a bit cold as he said, “I’m sure that your Love Sect would not benefit from…”
Before he could finish though, Lin Fan had already appeared in front of him and punched him right in the stomach.
The sect master looked at Lin Fan standing in front of him in shock, as he couldn’t believe that he would do something like this.
However, that didn’t last long as his eyes rolled back in his head and he started crumbling down.
It was the same thing as the other sect master.
He had been knocked out with a single punch.
Lin Fan didn’t care about the sect master that had fainted because of that single punch, he just looked down at his hands as if he was realizing something.
Well, it was more that he was slowly adjusting to the power that he had obtained.
He didn’t get a chance to fight after breaking through, so he had never been able to test the full extent of his power. Now that he got to test it out, he was able to slowly adjust to the new level of power that he had obtained.
But of course, it wasn’t as if Lin Fan had been fighting seriously the entire time.
He had been holding back so that no one would be able to discover his true power. He had been fighting with just enough strength that they would be wary of him without revealing his trump cards.
Looking at the other sect masters who had uneasy looks, Lin Fan quickly dashed forward at the next sect master.
All of them suddenly spread out so that he wouldn’t be able to get them together, but there was another reason for that.
They were waiting for someone else to get involved.
Since he had started a fight, these sect masters were certain that someone would get involved.
After all, the Martial Might Sect wouldn’t just allow this foreign sect to act how they wanted in their territory.
But to the surprise of not just these sects, but the other sects as well, the Martial Might Sect never moved. It was almost as if they just accepted what Lin Fan was doing.
What was happening where the Martial Might Sect was just accepting this?
Many people were confused, but they also became wary of the Love Sect because of this.
…
The screens captured many different scenes from the disciples making their way through the tower.
It didn’t seem like there was anything particularly interesting that happened until the twenty fifth floor.
This was the floor where a lot of people were stopped because it seemed like this was a large event that would bring many people together.
The fifth floor was one that brought over fifty people together.
This twenty fifth floor brought over five hundred people together, ten times more than what was on the fifth floor. At the same time, it didn’t seem like people were going to stop coming in.
Though out of the total ten thousand that entered the tower in the first place, this didn’t really seem like a lot.
It could only be considered a small portion of all those that entered, but this was without a doubt the largest gathering of people in this tower so far.
Everyone was split off from each other, forming their own small groups as no one seemed capable of trusting each other.
This was where Huang Xie met up with the others again.
This time, there were even more Love Sect and Demon Palm Sect members that were gathered, so they all formed a group together.
Everyone else just looked at this group with wary looks.
Though most of them seemed to be staring at Huang Xie.
During this time, it wasn’t as if there weren’t other cooperation floors.
However, Huang Xie had never encountered anyone else from the Love Sect or the Demon Palm Sect during this time. That didn’t mean that he didn’t encounter other people though.
Since he had done it once, he had done it a second time.
With his abilities, he had become the only one that could help them break out of the situation and had taken advantage of it.
He did the same thing as before where he took the soul fragments from those people that he went through the trials with as collateral for helping them pass.
So out of the five hundred people that were currently gathered, there were over a hundred of them that had a fragment of their soul taken from them by Huang Xie.
If he wanted, he would be able to take down a fifth of them in one go.
He was regarded as the most dangerous person here, but there wasn’t a single person that approached him. It was as if they wanted as little to do with him as possible, it was like they were avoiding him like he was the plague.
Huang Xie didn’t mind since there was no reason for him to do anything to these people yet.
At least not until this trial started.
But time passed and the trial still didn’t start.
That was until there were around a thousand people that were in this large room.
It was only then that the doors to this room suddenly closed.
The moment that the doors closed, everyone stopped talking and looked around them with wary looks, as if they were prepared for anything that happened.
But all that happened was that ten statues suddenly fell down from the sky.
They didn’t fall fast enough to crush anyone as they could easily dodge out of the way, but everyone avoided the statue afterwards since they had no idea what these statues were for.
The only thing that they felt towards these statues was…trauma.
These statues were the source of their misery in this tower, so it was only normal that they would feel trauma from looking at them.
However, they were also focused on the statues, waiting for anything to change with them.
They knew that these statues would be their source of information on what the trial would be.
“Please defend these statues from the incoming beasts.”
The mechanical voice suddenly rang out to the surprise of everyone.
They didn’t seem to understand what was happening at first, but they understood the urgency of their situation the moment that a screen appeared in the air right in the center of the room.
It was a timer.
There were only ten minutes left before this trial started.
All of them looked at each other before moving over to the different statues as if they were going to prepare their defenses. But most people seemed like they were at a loss as to what to do since they had no idea where the enemies would come from.
They only knew that enemies were coming to attack the statues, they didn’t know what direction they would come in, how many there were, how strong they were, and all kinds of other things.
Without this information, it didn’t seem like they would be able to mount a good defense…
So the only thing that they could do was build up defenses around the statues.
It was rather evenly spread as small groups went to different statues that didn’t seem to have people. It seemed like most people still didn’t trust each other as they were looking at each other with wary eyes as they were building their defense.
Most people chose to build simple barricades as defenses since they didn’t know what would be coming at them.
So it didn’t take long before walls were formed around the statues.
During all of this, the Love Sect and Demon Palm Sect group just stood there as if they were observing everyone else.
Finally, Huang Xie said, “We should split up.”
They all looked at him with surprised looks, or rather everyone but Xiao Ming, Yu Huang, and Mo Sha looked at him with surprised looks.
That was because everyone else didn’t know what he was capable of, so they couldn’t guess what plan Huang Xie had.
Huang Xie looked at the three of them and just gave them nods before they started moving off to a statue each.
As for the others, Huang Xie waved his hand at them to come closer before he took out the balls of light and said, “These are…”
