Xiao Han and his companions had all passed the third round!
Although there were some twists and turns in the process, fortunately, there was no danger.
Now, Xiao Han and his companions could sit leisurely on the other side and watch the other contestants pass the round.
"It's not easy …" Shao Yunrong whispered with lingering fear.
From the moment I stepped on the Rainbow Bridge of Fate, I had no confidence at all. I was afraid that I would step on the Banishing Card or the Unlucky Card. My luck would decline and I might even die.
Step by step, I was treading on thin ice. I didn't expect that I would make it through and pass … "
"Yeah, I also feel like it's been a lifetime." Huo Fan sighed.
"Ah …" Xiao Han smiled faintly.
Alright, Yunrong, Senior Sister Huo, don't be so sentimental. We've passed the third round. Now, there's only one more round. Once we pass, our fates will change and we'll become heroes! "
"That's great!
Below the immortals are heroes, and below the heroes are all living beings! "Fatty Zhu shouted excitedly.
"I wonder what the contents of the fourth stage are …" Mo Qingtong frowned slightly, then said in a low voice, "Xiao Han, be careful. You and the people from the Demon Hero Region have completely fallen out. You've almost become mortal enemies, and you won't rest until you're dead.
Although the eldest senior brother of the Hero Region doesn't have a sharp aura, he gives Qingtong an unfathomable feeling.
Xiao Han, don't let your guard down. "
"I know …" Xiao Han tilted his head and looked at Garen.
At this moment, Garen was sitting cross-legged with his eyes down. His body was covered with jewels and his aura was smooth and flawless. He was extremely dignified and inviolable.
His eyes were closed and he ignored Xiao Han.
Sitting next to Garen was the number one genius of the East Region, Zhangsun Wuheng. He was looking at Xiao Han with jealousy, vigilance, and hostility in his eyes.
Tai Chalk Zi, the Black Dragon of the Great Wilderness, gathered a group of children of the Great Wilderness who had passed, and they were looking at Xiao Han with hostility.
"Ah …" Xiao Han shook his head and laughed. He quickly turned his attention to the many Rainbow Bridges of Fate.
The Game of Fate was coming to an end and more and more contestants came ashore.
Tai Jiezi and Tian Yuan of the Spirit Mountain of the Southern Region had also successfully ascended to Sky City.
They exchanged glances and wanted to walk towards Xiao Han, but in the end, they walked to the other side, maintaining a certain distance from Xiao Han, and sat down cross-legged.
Two hours later.
Finally, on the last rainbow bridge, a young girl from the Eastern Domain stepped on an Unlucky Card and was directly obliterated. All the contestants already had their own destinations.
The rainbow bridge dissipated.
The Game of Fate was over.
"It's over!
It's finally over! "
The participants who had passed the test on the shore all stood up and looked at the main examiner, Leng Ruyu, who was sitting quietly on the lotus platform.
Scarlet light surged around Leng Ruyu's body. She was as beautiful as an immortal descending to the mortal world from a painting scroll. Her celestial appearance was peerless. Her eyes were like water and filled with mist, making it impossible for others to see through her heart.
Her skin was like ice and her bones were like jade, and her body was straight and elegant. There was not a single trace of impurity on her, as if she was the most perfect masterpiece of the heavens.
Leng Ruyu smiled faintly and nodded slightly. "Congratulations, contestants. You have passed the test of the Game of Fate and officially entered the fourth and final stage of this year's Hex Trial.
Well … you are only one step away from becoming a Hex. "
All the contestants were excited and excited.
They had entered the final stage!
The dream was within reach!
Many of the contestants started breathing heavily.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh." A shadow flashed, and Chen Fading Wind swept over from the moving city opposite and floated in the air beside Leng Ruyu. There was a trace of affection and tenderness in his eyes. "Ruyu, you've worked hard in presiding over the third stage."
"It's okay …" Leng Ruyu smiled gently.
Her voice was like the sound of nature. "Ruyu is also a little excited to be able to witness the birth of this batch of future top Hex Heroes.
Among them, there will definitely be someone who can grow up to be a Super Hex Hero. "
"Hey … where is the venue for the fourth stage?
Who is the main examiner? "Chen Fading Wind asked with a smile.
Leng Ruyu smiled mysteriously and did not comment.
Then, Leng Ruyu continued to speak to the contestants, "Now let's look at the contestants who passed the third stage …"
After a pause, Leng Ruyu continued.
The third stage of this year's Hex Trial, the Game of Fate, has a total of 3340 contestants participating.
So far, there are 1160 contestants who have passed. "
As soon as this was said, the contestants all sighed.
Of the 3340 contestants who passed the stage, about two-thirds were eliminated, leaving only 1160 people to enter the next stage.
It was really tragic.
"Among the 1160 contestants, 87 from the Hex Hero Region, 112 from the East Region, 9 from the West Region, 7 from the South Region, 3 from the North Region, and 942 from the Great Wilderness …" Leng Ruyu announced.
This kind of data made the contestants sigh again.
A total of 10,000 geniuses participated in this year's Hex Trial, but in the end, there were only so few people left.
Of course, survival of the fittest, those who could make it to this stage were the geniuses among geniuses, the most enchanting of all.
Among them, the younger generation of the Hex Hero Region was even more resentful, and they looked at Xiao Han with a murderous look.
13 people from the Hex Hero Region had died, all thanks to Xiao Han!
Perhaps, if these 13 people had not died in Xiao Han's hands, they would have been able to enter the fourth stage by now?
Then, the younger generation of the Hex Hero Region would have created a miracle. All the contestants would have entered the final stage unscathed and achieved a brilliant achievement, which was enough to be recorded in the history books.
But Xiao Han had shattered this glory!
He killed Yiming, a genius who was very likely to become a Devil Hero. This was completely unforgivable.
"Then … please enter the City in the Sky and rest for three days. Three days later, the examination venue and rules of the fourth stage will be announced to you," Leng Ruyu said with a gentle smile. "Well … Ruyu is honored to be able to accompany all the contestants into the fourth stage …"
"Huh?" The contestants were stunned.
"Ruyu, are you still the examiner of the fourth stage?" Chen Shifeng asked hurriedly.
"Yes," Leng Ruyu nodded. "Ruyu will continue to be the examiner and meet everyone in the fourth stage.
The specific content of the test will be announced by Ruyu in three days.
As for the examination venue of the fourth stage, it's not in the Hex Hero Region.
Alright, everyone, please enter Sky City and recuperate.
Remember, during these three days, no disputes are allowed among the contestants, let alone fighting or killing. Violators will be eliminated immediately. "
The contestants all nodded in agreement.
After Leng Ruyu finished her announcement, she gracefully stepped down from the lotus platform and led the way. She walked along a mountain path and led the participants into Sky City. Her steps were elegant and otherworldly, and she was as beautiful as a fairy. As she walked, it seemed as if she could ride the wind and ascend to the Nine Heavens Palace at any time.
Chen Shifeng walked side by side with her.
Thousands of contestants followed behind him in a line.
Flowers and trees grew on both sides of the mountain road. The vegetation was lush and green, and the fairy mist surged and rolled among the vegetation.
The contestants were amazed by the flowers that were more than a hundred feet tall.
In the air, there was a rain of flowers, sparkling and translucent, emitting a refreshing fragrance. This kind of fragrance seemed to be a spiritual medicine that could cleanse one's body of chalk. It faintly had the smell of cutting off one's hair and cleansing one's marrow. Moreover, it could dispel the distracting thoughts in one's heart. If one cultivated here, the spiritual energy was abundant, and it would definitely yield twice the results with half the effort.
After passing through the small road, there was a paradise as beautiful as the Immortal World. Elegant wooden pavilions were everywhere, and countless beautiful girls greeted them with smiles and arranged the contestants' food and accommodation.
They were all beautiful, with fair legs and arms. Their voices were like those of Gu Huangpeng, making the contestants feel as if they had fallen into a land of gentleness. Their hearts were numb and soft, and they were indescribably comfortable.
Between the wooden buildings of Sky City, there were also some beautiful mountain peaks and jade palaces. Some flowering trees were dozens of feet tall, and they looked as if they were carved from translucent jadeite. They were like divine trees that emitted a sweet fragrance, and there were beautiful colorful petals blowing in the air. It was a marvelous sight.
"So beautiful!
This place is so beautiful!
It's like a fairyland! "Mo Qingtong, Huo Gang, and Shao Yunrong all exclaimed.
In this poetic and picturesque environment, Xiao Han's heart calmed down and he felt refreshed. His nerves, which were as taut as a bowstring, also relaxed to the greatest extent. He enjoyed it immensely.
Xiao Han and his companions were assigned to a wooden courtyard. There were a few rooms, a few trees, a few flowerbeds, and a few canaries. The environment was beautiful.
"Ah!
We have three days to recuperate … "Mo Qingtong closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath of the fragrance of the flowers in the courtyard, and blurted out," Qingtong can comfortably soak in a fresh flower bath … "Her face was full of intoxication.
"Yes, have a good rest and prepare for the fourth round.
In the Hex Hero preliminaries, each stage will be harder than the previous one. The fourth stage is the last one, so it won't be easy … "Xiao Han said seriously.
"Well, on the Rainbow Bridge of Fate, Yunrong obtained an ancient sword manual. We can take advantage of these three days to study it and hopefully have a breakthrough in our combat power." Shao Yunrong looked serious.
"Okay, you can all go." Xiao Han smiled and walked into a wooden house.
Three days!
Three days passed in the blink of an eye!
During these three days, no one came to disturb them, so Xiao Han and his companions enjoyed three days of peace and comfort.
Three days later!
In the wide field of the City in the Sky!
1160 contestants gathered here!
After three days of rest, now, every contestant was full of energy, and their eyes were full of fighting spirit and confidence!
The depression and fatigue from three days ago were swept away!
The City in the Sky had a beautiful environment, and the fragrance of flowers was everywhere, making people forget about their worries. It was indeed the best place to recuperate!
Leng Ruyu and Chen Fading Wind stood at the end of the wide field.
They looked at the contestants.
"Well … everyone is here." Leng Ruyu nodded slightly. "Then, the fourth round of the Hex Hero Trial, which is also the last round, officially begins!
Now, Ruyu will explain the content and rules of the fourth round! "
"The first round of the Hex Hero Trial tests your ability to distinguish demonic aura and your psychological quality. The second round tests your ability to survive and observe in a harsh environment. The third round tests your luck.
Then, the content of the fourth round is … actual combat ability! "
"Actual combat ability?" The contestants were a little stunned.
"Are we going to fight in the arena?"
Suddenly, Leng Ruyu's expression became slightly serious. She said word by word, "The content of the fourth round was not finalized until yesterday.
I just want to tell you that the fourth round is extremely cruel and tragic … Before this, I didn't expect the fourth round to be so cruel … "
"Ah?
The fourth round is extremely cruel?
Tragic? "The contestants were all shocked.
"Seriously speaking, the difficulty of the fourth round is almost far greater than the previous three rounds …" Leng Ruyu continued. "The venue of the fourth round is in a city in the West Region.
Once the test begins, you will be teleported to this city.
This time, for the Hex Hero Trial, which is known as the cruelest in history and has the most geniuses, the powerful figures of the Hex Hero Tower injured a Demon Emperor and trapped this Demon Emperor in this city.
Now, this Demon Emperor is trying his best to disguise himself and hide among the people in the city.
Your task is to find this injured Demon Emperor and kill him. "
"Kill an injured Demon Emperor?" The contestants had some idea.
"Of course, the content of the fourth round will not be so simple." Leng Ruyu sorted out her words.
Now, I will number the contestants … The purpose of the numbering … is to hunt … The fourth round can be called an actual combat test, but more accurately, it is a 'hunting game'. "
"This' hunting game 'is not only about hunting the injured Demon Emperor, but also … the contestants will hunt each other!
What you need to do is to track the Demon Emperor and be on guard against the Demon Emperor's counterattack at all times. Moreover, you also need to plot against each other … Ruyu can responsibly say that the fourth round of the Hex Hero Trial, the 'hunting game', is almost the most difficult round in all the previous Hex Hero trials. "
"To kill an injured Demon Emperor, and the contestants also have to hunt each other?" Chen Frowned. "It's a cruel game of hunting and being hunted …"
"Of course, the contestants won't kill each other blindly. Instead, each contestant has his own specific hunting target.
You can only hunt a specific opponent, and you can't kill randomly. "
"Now, the numbering begins. Please stretch out your right hand," Leng Ruyu said seriously.
"Oh my god, we also have to hunt and assassinate each other … and there are Demon Emperors lurking in the dark …" The contestants discussed in panic.
And they subconsciously kept a distance from each other.
Xiao Han frowned slightly. "Every contestant has his own specific hunting target … How is the hunting target decided?
Who … who am I going to kill? "
Chen Frowned and snapped his fingers.
Don't panic. As Hex Heroes, the first task is to hunt the Demon Clan. But according to my experience, for the sake of profit, sometimes there are conflicts and conflicts between Hex Heroes.
This round is indeed the cruelest actual combat test.
You will directly become excellent Hex Heroes, no longer noobs.
This round can help you grow! "
Leng Ruyu sighed. "The content of this round is decided by the higher-ups. Ruyu also thinks it's too cruel, but there's no other way. The higher-ups naturally have their reasons for deciding.
However, the higher-ups also promised that the contestants who pass the final round will not only become Hex Heroes, but will also receive unprecedented training.
Alright, let's start assigning numbers. Everyone, please open your palms! "
The contestants — — opened their palms.
"Whoosh ~ ~ ~ Whoosh ~ ~ Whoosh ~ ~ ~"
Thousands of rays of light radiated from Leng Ruyu's body.
In the next moment, every contestant held a jade token with a number written on it in their palms.
Xiao Han flipped over the jade token and saw the number '4' on it.
"I'm number 4?" Xiao Han was stunned.
"Boss, I'm number 11 …" Fatty Zhu flipped the jade token in his hand.
"Martial Brother Xiao Han, I'm number 13," Huo Lan said in a low voice.
"Xiao Han, I'm number 7," Mo Qingtong said.
"Xiao Han, I'm number 20," Shao Yunrong said.
"Participants, the number on the jade token in your hands is your number for the fourth stage," Leng Ruyu explained.
First, let me tell you, the injured Demon Emperor you have to kill is' Demon Emperor Qing Lin '. Demon Emperor Qing Lin's attack power is extremely strange. If it's at its peak, all of you combined won't be enough to kill it.
But don't worry, it's already been injured by our senior Hex Heroes, and its battle power is less than 20% or 30%. Moreover, during the test, our senior Hex Heroes will deter the injured Demon Emperor Qing Lin, preventing it from devouring the living beings in the city to recover from its injuries.
Of course, it will attack you first … So, your first step is not to kill Demon Emperor Qing Lin, but to stay alive. "
"What?
Demon Emperor Qing Lin?
The target is Demon Emperor Qing Lin? "Xiao Han was shocked.
Xiao Han had seen Demon Emperor Qing Lin's power with his own eyes … When the Demon Emperor Qing Lin appeared, the sky and earth changed colors, and the clouds moved in all directions. It was extremely strange!
It was an extremely difficult Demon Emperor to deal with!
"Then, Ruyu will continue to announce the rules of the test.
When the test officially begins, you will be teleported directly to the city, but you will be teleported separately. When you arrive at the city, there will be no other contestants around you, which means that your teleportation location will be disrupted. "
"The winner of the fourth round will be decided by points."
"Successfully killing a designated contestant will be rewarded with 10000 points."
"Killing a Demon Soldier in the city will be rewarded with 1 point."
"Killing a Demon General in the city will be rewarded with 10 points."
"Killing Demon Emperor Qing Lin will be rewarded with 100000 points. If multiple contestants work together to kill Demon Emperor Qing Lin, they will be rewarded with 100000 points."
"Mistakenly killing a civilian in the city will be deducted 100 points."
"Killing a non-designated contestant will be deducted 1000 points."
"The duration of this round is one month."
"Points will be calculated in one month."
"Contestants who have accumulated 10500 points will become Demon Heroes."
"In fact, you should understand now that you don't have to kill Demon Emperor Qing Lin in this test. As long as you can guarantee that you won't be killed by Demon Emperor Qing Lin within one month, and guarantee that you will accumulate 10500 points.
You will pass the test.
However, Ruyu, I have to remind you that although the injured Demon Emperor Qing Lin won't kill the civilians in the city, it will take the initiative to kill contestants like you!
There are also some ferocious Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals under it! "
"Any contestant who successfully kills Demon Emperor Qing Lin, regardless of whether it's alone or in a team, will be rewarded handsomely by the higher-ups of the Yaoxia Pagoda in addition to points.
Remember, this is a reward given by the higher-ups of the Yaoxia Pagoda. It's no small matter!
However, if you think that you don't have the ability to kill Demon Emperor Qing Lin, there's no need for you to take the risk.
Although Demon Emperor Qing Lin is injured, he is still a Demon Emperor. A centipede will not fall down even if it dies. "
"Of course, according to the rules of the point system, as long as you can accumulate 10500 points, you don't have to kill a specific contestant."
"10500 points are required to pass the test. If you don't kill a specific contestant, it'll be very difficult to accumulate this number of points.
Killing a Demon Soldier is only one point, and a Demon General is only ten points. How can there be so many Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals for contestants to kill?
Of course, I can kill Demon Emperor Qing Lin directly and get 100,000 points. I can do whatever I want! "Xiao Han calculated in his mind.
"During this month's assessment, there will be senior Chivalrous Heroes paying close attention to you. A large number of our senior Chivalrous Heroes have already disguised themselves as civilians and sneaked into that city. Your every move will be under our control.
Therefore, if you accidentally kill a civilian or a non-specific contestant, you will be deducted points. "
"Alright, I'll now announce your target." Ruyu's expression became more and more serious.
The targets were calculated by Ruyu using the Great Fate Divine Art … Between the hunter and the hunted, there might come a day when they would fight. Ruyu just wanted to bring that day forward!
You can treat your target as your mortal enemy!
If you succeed, you will devour their life force! "
All the contestants held their breath!
"Contestant number 1, Meng Jia of the Great Wilderness, hunting target number 769, Nie Yinlong of the East.
The two will hunt each other. "
"Contestant number 2, Tai Jizi of the Spiritual Mountain of the Southern Region, hunting target number 1011, Ai Er of the Great Wilderness.
The two will hunt each other. "
"Contestant number 3, Qiu Qiu of the Northern Region, hunting target number 287, Hu Li of the Western Region.
The two will hunt each other. "
Contestant number 4, Xiao Han of the Southern Region … "At this point, Ruyu's expression changed slightly as she looked at Xiao Han." Your target is … "
PS: This chapter is rather long. It's mainly for writing the rules of the fourth test.
I won't open it.
There are over 5500 words in this chapter. I hope everyone enjoys reading it.
Who will be Xiao Han's mortal enemy?
Who will be Xiao Han's target?
How thrilling will the fourth test be?
Please stay tuned!
