As the outside world speculated, the trial by fire continued. Although there were quite a few participants, each time, half of them would be eliminated. Gradually.., fewer and fewer squares remained, and the number of cultivators who participated in the trial by fire slowly increased from… to only eight!

As soon as the eight people were chosen, the cultivators of the three sects were all focused on them.

Any one of them had experienced many battles, and had never lost a single battle. That was why they were now in the top eight. According to the rules of the trial by fire, if they failed once, they would be teleported out, as a result, they would be disqualified from the trial by fire.

Therefore, those who had managed to reach this stage were the strongest cultivators of the three sects!

The identities of five of them didn’t surprise the cultivators of the three sects. These five people… were the dao children of the three sects!

Shi Lingzi, Yue Lingzi, Hengzi, and Yin Xi of the Music Dao sect from the Chord Dao sect. As for the last one, it was… White armor from the Hengqin sect!

The Hengqin sect had originally had two dao children participating in the trial. One of them was red devil, and the other was white armor. They were both men and extremely handsome. Their relationship was no longer a secret. Although they weren’t dao companions.., they were better than dao partners.

However… Red Devil had met Wang Baole by accident, and he had lost. That had disrupted the momentum that had allowed the six dao children to fight their way into the top eight.

Wang Baole, as the sixth person, had replaced Red Devil and advanced into the top eight.

Other than the six of them, there were two other famous cultivators. Although they hadn’t defeated the DAO children, they had managed to fight their way into the top eight with strength that wasn’t weaker than the DAO children.

Compared to Wang Baole’s unknown fame, the two of them were actually quite famous. However, they had been in seclusion for many years, so most of the people who had an impression of them were older disciples.

One of them was from the Hengqin sect, and the other was from the Dao of music. Both of them had been defeated in the battle for Daozi. Many years had passed, and they had endured hardships and endured hardships. They had cultivated bitterly, all for the purpose of… Rising once again today.

As the top eight appeared and the three sects in the outside world watched, all the small squares before them instantly fused together, forming a huge square.

There were eight towering pillars that reached into the clouds on the square. As the light shone, the figures of Wang Baole and the others were transported to different pillars.

The moment they appeared, the eight of them saw each other. All of them had different expressions on their faces. Wang Baole narrowed his eyes slightly. He saw the magnificent moon spirit child once again, he saw Shi Lingzi, who was staring at the old disciple who had been promoted to the music sect.

From the looks of it… the latter seemed to be suspecting that he had met this old disciple back then..

There were also the two dao sons from the music sect. This was especially true for the young cultivator who wore a long white robe. He had no hair, and he didn’t even have eyebrows. His eyes were as calm as water. He stood there, as if he was one with his surroundings, he was one with them. When they saw him, the sounds of ancient and elegant music would naturally appear in their minds.

This scene made Wang Baole’s pupils contract slightly. The others also sized each other up. They paid more attention to Wang Baole, who was a stranger.

After all… As far as everyone knew, they had never met Red Devil. Red Devil hadn’t appeared, which meant that… someone in the crowd had eliminated Red Devil.

To be able to do that wasn’t something to be underestimated.

That was why the person whose expression had changed the most was… White armor from the Hengqin sect.

He looked at the other seven people abruptly. When he realized that Red Devil wasn’t there, a cold glint appeared in his eyes. He swept past Wang Baole and the other two old disciples, then looked at Yin Xi and Yue Lingzi.

“Which one of you is qualified to eliminate Red Devil?”

From what the white armor knew, Red Devil wasn’t the strongest, but he wasn’t someone that ordinary people could eliminate. It was naturally more difficult to eliminate red devil without much loss to himself. Therefore, among the seven people around him.., he felt that… the only people who were most likely to do that were Yue Lingzi and yin xi.

“I’ve never met him,”yin xi said calmly.

The moment he said that, the white-armored man believed him. Even though he didn’t understand yin xi, he understood that there was no need to hide something like this. Therefore, he instantly turned his gaze to Yue Lingzi, his eyes filled with a strong chill.

“It has nothing to do with me,”Yue Lingzi said coldly, ignoring the white-armored man’s hostility.

Her voice caused the white-armored man to frown. He swept his gaze across the other dao children, then looked at Wang Baole and the two old disciples. The killing intent in his eyes grew stronger.

The two of them had cold expressions on their faces and didn’t speak. Wang Baole thought for a moment and smiled kindly at the white-armored man. Perhaps it was because the smile was too sincere, but the white-armored man focused his gaze on the two old disciples.

At that moment, before the white-armored man could ask a question, Shi Lingzi from the chord sect couldn’t hold it in any longer. She stared at the old disciple from the Hengqin sect and suddenly gritted her teeth.

“Is it you!”

His words had no beginning or end. At first glance, he thought that Shi Lingzi was helping the white armor ask a question. However, only Wang Baole knew… the deeper meaning behind the question. After some thought, he continued to maintain a friendly smile on his face, he watched the commotion.

However… the location of the eight pillars was slightly different from the environment of the arena. This was a meeting place specially prepared for the top eight, so the voices inside were not restricted by the laws, the outside world… could hear it.

Therefore… as the white-armored killing intent filled the air as he looked at Wang Baole and the others, and Wang Baole revealed a friendly smile, the disciples of the three sects in the outside world all had strange expressions on their faces.

“This fellow…”

“He’s still trying to hide it…”

“How Shameless!”

Wang baole naturally could not hear the discussions in the outside world. As he watched the commotion with a smile, he suddenly sensed something. He turned his head to look in two directions to the right, and he saw Yin Xi’s eyes.

Those eyes seemed to contain some strange ripples as they stared at Wang Baole.

“This person… is quite interesting.”Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. He and Yin Xi looked at each other for a few breaths before withdrawing their gazes. Then… the second selection battle for this trial was about to begin.

The pillars where the eight of them were were emitting an intense glow. There seemed to be signs of two people merging with each other. As for Wang Baole, the glow from his pillar had already begun to merge with the Moon Spirit Child.

Once they merged with each other, the battle would begin. They were all prepared and knew that the final four would be decided.

However, at that moment… the Pillar’s glow, which was about to merge with Shi Lingzi’s Pillar, suddenly lifted its head and shouted towards the sky.

“Lord, I’m willing to give up fighting for first place and fight with the person who eliminated Red Devil!”

“Please Grant My Wish!”

As soon as the white armor spoke, the cultivators from the three sects in the outside world were filled with excitement and anticipation. Even the others in the top eight looked over curiously. Only Wang Baole sighed and muttered.

“This is cheating…”

Very quickly, a voice that was as deep as the might of the heavens reverberated in the sky and earth.

“Allow!”

The moment the voice appeared, Wang Baole felt helpless. He saw that the light from his pillar was forcefully pulled out of its fusion with the Moon Spirit Child and headed straight for the white armor. In the next moment, it fused with the white armor.

“So, it’s You!”The white armor looked at Wang Baole abruptly, its eyes bursting with killing intent.
