Invincible Kungfu Healer

Mo Wen moved quickly and charged into the lotus flower lake. A great pressure descended from above. The gravity in the sky above was terrifyingly strong, much stronger than the force of the secret river they had encountered earlier.

It was extremely difficult to fly against such a force. One would fall into the lotus flower lake after taking a few steps. As such, everyone stepped on the lotus leaves. They moved with difficulty, using the bounce beneath their feet to propel themselves forward.

Mo Wen realized that other than the invisible force, the torrential rain was also unusual. Every drop that fell on them was like a massive rock hitting them. The raindrops fell densely, and it was as if the people trying to cross the lake were facing an assault of countless large rocks.

Mo Wen could cope with this pressure, and he had not reached his limit. If the level of difficulty remained the same, it would not be difficult for him to cross the lotus lake with his current ability. In fact, the majority of those present here would be able to make it to the end of the lotus lake by using some special skills or treasures.

However, he took a few steps forward and suddenly realized that the gravitational force was growing stronger. It was not just the gravitational force; the force of the rain falling from above grew more and more dramatic as well.

Crash!

There was a loud rumble in the sky, and a white-colored thunderbolt crashed downwards, smashing into Mo Wen.

Mo Wen did not use any method to defend himself. That was because he realized that the power in the thunderbolt was not very strong. It was still within the limits of what his body could take. The strength of his physical body was immense. Even a warrior at the beginner stage of the Golden Elixir Realm would find it hard to overcome his defense.

Rows of sparks jumped on Mo Wen’s body and then disappeared slowly moments later. Mo Wen looked like nothing had happened to him, and he continued forward. He had only moved a hundred meters when he realized that the pressure he was under had doubled. Fortunately, there were many lotus leaves on the lake that could take a good amount of weight. Otherwise, none of the people would be able to move even a hundred meters. There were so many of them.

Lightning bolts flashed down from the sky, crashing forcefully into Mo Wen. He realized that the power behind the lightning grew stronger as he moved forwards. However, the increase in power was insignificant. Otherwise, he would have started to doubt whether he could even travel 500 meters.

Mo Wen did not block the lightning bolts and allowed them to crash into him. His physical body was strong enough and could withstand the force of it. Furthermore, with the baptism of lightning, his body would doubtlessly improve. This was beneficial to him.

The youths around him tried hard to go against the terrifying gravity. They tried their best to block the lightning that cleaved down on them. When they saw that Mo Wen did not dodge the lightning and allowed the bolts to hit them, they were all so stunned that they stared at him with their mouths agape. He was blocking the lightning bolts with his body. This youth was immensely powerful!

Many of them recognized Mo Wen as the young man who had knocked Gong Zhangyan into the air with a single slap on the altar. When they saw how tough he was now, they all inhaled sharply. This had once again proven their earlier guesses to be right. This young man was definitely a match for the top-ranked young geniuses of the ancient martial arts world.

“This youth is indeed terrifying. However, I do not know why he would lag at the back intentionally. With his ability, even if he does not take the lead, he should not lag too far behind Hao Qian and Hou Jingfeng. But why is he at about the same place as me? He’s such an oddball!” a young warrior thought to himself dully. Mo Wen could obviously do better. But why was he lagging at the back? This was a test given to them by the Tower Spirit. They would get more benefits the further they traveled and the further up in front they were.

Mo Wen did not walk quickly, and his steps remained constant. His position was also at the back of the group of warriors. There were at least seven or eight people in front of him, including Gong Zhangyan and Pei Fengwu.

It was not that Mo Wen was unable to go any faster. He knew that crossing the lotus lake was not as easy as he had imagined. He would conserve his energy now and would charge with all his might when the pressure grew stronger and stronger.

There were still more than a thousand meters to the end of the lotus lake. However, when they reached the 300 meters spot, Mo Wen felt the pressure double once more. This time, he felt that his body has reached its limits. If he did not use any special methods, it would be difficult for him to continue moving forward.

He walked another 50 meters. Then, there was a flash of light. A young warrior could not hold on any longer and fell into the lotus lake. He was eliminated from the test and was whisked away by the flash of light.

Mo Wen took a deep breath. He flicked his wrist and five gold-colored bronze rings appeared around him. Then, five beasts appeared and surrounded him, forming a golden colored light shield. The lightning that cleaved down from above crashed onto the golden light shield and was refracted.

The spiritual stone Mo Wen held in his hand disappeared. The straw cape he wore around him turned into a cloud of fog and Mo Wen floated into the air.

There was a flash of light. Mo Wen sped up frantically. He traversed several meters in mere moments. He caught up with and then overtook four or five people in just a few seconds. He was in fourth position amongst all the young warriors, leaving even Jin Ying and Pei Fengwu behind.

He traveled another 100 meters. Four people had fallen into the lake by then, losing their right to continue with the test.

By now, Mo Wen was in third place. There were only two people in front of him: Hao Qian from the Haokun Sect and Hou Jingfeng from the Ming Temple.

The burly youth who had been the first to enter the lake was now in fourth place, in about the same position as Gong Zhangyan.

“I can’t go any further…” Pei Fengwu bit her lip. Her face was pale, and her body shook ceaselessly. It seemed as though she was about to be crushed into powder by the invisible force. When they reached the 500-meter mark, she had already tried her best and used all the methods that she had. However, she found it hard to continue. She sighed and stumbled, falling into the lotus lake. Five hundred meters. At least she had reached the lowest standard that the Tower Spirit set. Those who could pass the five-hundred-meter mark would get some reward, so she could consider her participation in this round a success.

Just as Pei Fengwu was about to fall into the lotus lake, a flash of golden light suddenly appeared in front of her. The golden light turned into a golden chain that wrapped itself around Pei Fengwu’s slender waist. The next moment, the golden chain bounced back and tugged with force, throwing Pei Fengwu into the air.

50 meters ahead of Pei Fengwu, Mo Wen’s body shook. His face was pale and half of his leg was submerged in the water. He had almost fallen into the lake. He was holding on to a golden chain in his hand. It was one of the chains formed by the Five Beasts Hoop. The golden chain that had stretched towards Pei Fengwu had been his doing. He had helped her out at a crucial moment. However, he could only help her a little and could not do anything else for her. Otherwise, he would not be able to cross the lake either.

Pei Fengwu’s body was tossed into the air, and she quickly moved 60 or 70 meters forwards before smashing into the lake. As she fell into the lake, she felt as if she had just awoken from a dream. She looked at Mo Wen gratefully. Then, a flash of light whisked her away. She was out of the test.

On the surface, there seemed not to be any change to the result. Pei Fengwu had still been eliminated. However, at the last moment, she had advanced another 60 or 70 meters. She had even overtaken Mo Wen. The reward that she would receive from the Fighting Spirit Tower would definitely be improved.

Under normal circumstances, Mo Wen’s pull on the chain would have thrown Pei Fengwu several kilometers forward. However, in this environment, being able to fly 60 to 70 meters was the limit. In fact, the energy that Mo Wen had expended allowed him to journey another 100 meters towards the edge of the lake. It was too difficult for him to throw someone a great distance in this sort of environment.

Pei Fengwu had protected him several times before. He was happy to take a risk to help her in order to return the favor.

Gong Zhanyan and the burly youth behind Mo Wen both inhaled deeply and looked at Mo Wen in surprise. Mo Wen could still help someone in such a situation. It was beyond their expectations.

Helping someone out in the current situation was akin to seeking death. They had already pushed themselves to their limits to get to where they were. It was as if they were walking on a tightrope. Any mistake might result in them falling into the ten-thousand feet abyss below. Mo Wen’s helping Pei Fengwu was not only brave, but he could also have paid a huge price for it. Yet, he had still been able to ensure his own safety, and that proved how much power he still had.

Even Hao Qian, who was at the very front, turned o look at Mo Wen in shock. There was a grave look in his eyes. Hou Jingfeng continued plodding forward with, his head down. However, the look in his eyes grew dark and heavy.

Gong Zhangyan bit his lip tightly, a myriad of expressions visible on his face. He had not expected that Mo Wen would risk himself to help Pei Fengwu. This was something he had not been able to do. He believed that he was the one who loved Pei Fengwu the most, but compared to Mo Wen, he was much weaker.

“Mo Wen, you put girls before friendships!”

Jun Wulei, who was almost at the very back, yelled at Mo Wen, glancing at him sadly and angrily. Then, he fell into the lake with a splash. Mo Wen had helped Pei Fengwu so that she could move forward another 60 or 70 meters. He could not hold on any longer now, but he did not see Mo Wen helping him. He was furious right now. There was a flash of light, and Jun Wulei was whisked away.

Mo Wen rolled his eyes and continued forward stoically. It was as if he had not heard Jun Wulei’s angry cry.

“Mo Wen, I am the person who loves Pei Fengwu the most. Damn you.” Gong Zhangyan’s face was twisted and his heart roared with rage. Then, he made a move that nobody expected.

There was a flash of jade green light. A long jade flute appeared in Gong Zhangyan’s hand. It started to shine like a brilliant jade sun.

Gong Zhangyan no longer tried to protect himself against the pressure from the sky. Instead, he funneled all his strength into the long jade flute. There was a loud whistle from the jade flute which turned into a flash of green light. An illusionary jade-green colored dragon appeared around the flute. The dragon waved its claws around and pounced at Mo Wen.

“Die, you!”

Mo Wen’s pupils shone with golden-colored light. They were like two gold-colored suns that were filled with anger.
