"Next, Lu Zhen!"
The monitoring elder's loud voice spread throughout the entire Trial Peak.
Many outer sect disciples fell silent for a moment, then they got excited as if they were the next ones to go on stage.
"Wow, he's coming!"
"Liu Yang is rated excellent. I wonder how Senior Brother Lu Zhen will be rated?"
"I don't know the details, but I'm sure he's better than Liu Yang!"
"The true climax of this outer sect trial is finally about to come!"
"I'm really looking forward to Senior Brother Lu Zhen's performance."
"How long do you think it will take for Senior Brother Lu Zhen to defeat the puppets?"
"No more than five minutes, I guess!"
…
Lu Zhen, who was standing on the peak, had a confident smile on his face from beginning to end.
He looked up at Liu Yang and Mu Qingxue and gave them a slight nod. Then, he jumped down from the peak and calmly entered the formation of the first test.
Boom!
The moment he put his palm on the crystal ball, the crystal ball instantly erupted with a dazzling light.
"D*mn, what a strong light!"
"No one in the history of the outer sect has ever been able to have such a strong light!"
"What a powerful cultivation…"
"It's several times brighter than Senior Brother Liu Yang's light!"
"Is this the legendary Forbidden Stage?"
"Although it's very powerful, it's still very far from the legendary Forbidden Stage."
…
Lu Zhen's appearance immediately caused an uproar.
Liu Yang, who was on the Trial Peak, also frowned slightly. In terms of cultivation base alone, Lu Zhen was indeed 30 to 40% stronger than him.
He had almost reached the peak of the ninth level of the Qi Gathering Realm. Although he could still continue to improve, it was almost impossible for him to reach Lu Zhen's level!
Elder Wang was also smiling.
Lu Zhen's performance in the first test outshone Liu Yang's, which was not much different from his expectation.
He gave Elder Xie a smug glance and found that Elder Xie was calm and did not get panicked at Lu Zhen's performance.
Seeing this scene, the smile on Elder Wang's face immediately faded.
Elder Xie was not flustered at all after seeing Lu Zhen's powerful cultivation?
Could it be that Su Chen had really stepped into the Forbidden Stage?
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Lu Zhen had already stepped into the formation of the second test.
Before he walked to the second formation, the formation suddenly lit up and the 30 puppets that were destroyed by Liu Yang recovered.
Lu Zhen's expression was still confident as if these 30 puppets were nothing in his eyes.
His figure flickered continuously within the formation, and the 30 puppets did not even manage to touch the corner of his clothes with their cooperation.
"This is the yellow-level upper-rank Phantom Moon, and it's also the grand attainment. No wonder you're so confident," Elder Li said with a smile as he looked at Lu Zhen's flickering figure.
"Hehe, now you know why I'm willing to bet with you, right?"
Elder Wang chuckled when he heard this.
But soon, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Because he only saw a hint of surprise on Elder Li's face.
Other than that, he didn't see the slightest bit of reluctance or discomfort from losing a precious medicinal pill on Elder Li's face.
It wasn't just him.
Elder Xie was the same. The two of them were very calm from the beginning to the end.
What was going on?
Even the grand attainment of Phantom Moon wasn't enough to make the two of them panic?
The bad feeling in Elder Wang's heart grew stronger and stronger.
Soon, the 30 puppets in the formation lost all their fighting strength under Lu Zhen's attack.
It took less than ten minutes, which was half of Liu Yang's time!
Moreover, Lu Zhen was only breathing a little quickly, and his expression was very calm.
"Senior Brother Lu Zhen is really strong!"
"It's half the time that Senior Brother Liu Yang used!"
"Hehe, this is the strength of the current number-one disciple in the outer sect!"
"That's right, the number one in the outer sect!"
Soon, someone shouted excitedly.
These people were Lu Zhen's staunch supporters.
The stronger Lu Zhen was, the prouder they were.
Even though Lu Zhen probably didn't know them.
"Number one? Hehe, it seems a little too early to say that now, right?"
Cao Yun sneered as he looked at the incomparably excited outer sect disciples.
"Where did you come from?"
"If Senior Brother Lu Zhen is not number one, who else will be? You?"
One of Lu Zhen's supporters shouted angrily.
"Senior Brother Su hasn't even gone on stage, and you dare to say that Lu Zhen is the number one person in the outer sect?"
Cao Yun said indifferently.
Cao Yun was the first one to disagree that Lu Zhen was considered the number one disciple in the outer sect by the others!
How did they dare to call Lu Zhen who didn't even step into the Forbidden Stage the number one person? Did they totally ignore Senior Brother Su Chen?
"Senior Brother Su? Hehe, are you talking about Su Chen? I admit that Su Chen is charming, but charm is still charm. It has nothing to do with strength!"
The outer sect disciple who supported Lu Zhen sneered.
"Senior Brother Lu Zhen has long been able to break through to the Qi Sea Realm, but he has been suppressing it in order to comprehend the information in the mysterious stone tablet. He can break through at any time as long as he wants!"
"That's right! Senior Brother Lu Zhen has achieved the grand attainment of Phantom Moon! Besides, he achieved grand attainments in other yellow-level middle-rank martial arts. If he isn't the number one, then who is?"
The other outer sect disciples who supported Lu Zhen also spoke up to defend him.
"Don't tell me you think that Lu Zhen is the only one who participates in the outer sect trial for the mysterious stone tablet. Senior Brother Su Chen can also break through to the Qi Sea Realm at any time! The reason why he is deliberately suppressing it now is that he has to maintain the ninth level of the Qi Gathering Realm according to the rules of the outer sect trial!"
Not afraid of the outer sect disciples who supported Lu Zhen, Cao Yun retorted.
Entering the legendary Forbidden Stage in the Qi Gathering Realm meant that there was a 100% chance of breaking through to the Qi Sea Realm!
Even Lu Zhen, who had yet to enter the Forbidden Stage, could break through to the Qi Sea Realm at any time. Why couldn't Su Chen, who had already entered the Forbidden Stage, do the same?
[Breakthrough to the Qi Sea Realm at any time: 1/150]
[Breakthrough to the Qi Sea Realm at any time: 2/150]
[...]
Su Chen, who was watching Lu Zhen taking the talent test, suddenly saw the virtual interface pop up.
Looking at the characters on the virtual interface, Su Chen could not help but smile.
He knew from this moment on his fans would begin to display their true combat power.
"That's right! Do you think your Senior Brother Lu Zhen is the only one who can break through to the Qi Sea Realm at any time?"
At this moment.
A young girl walked over with a large group of outer sect disciples.
He Jing had noticed the argument from the beginning.
She was also very dissatisfied with the fact that others called Lu Zhen the number one person in the outer sect.
Lu Zhen hadn't even stepped into the Forbidden Stage, so how could he be considered the number one person in the outer sect?
How could he be compared to Senior Brother Su Chen?
