"Wang Kui, congratulations."
Some of the city lords did not hide their joy for Wang Kui and directly congratulated him.
The Bi Family Patriarch also nodded in satisfaction.
Wang Kui's willpower was incomparable to ordinary martial artists.
Even some of the Eight Prodigies could not last for two hours.
The strength of one's willpower had little to do with one's strength.
While everyone was praising Wang Kui, the Bi Family Patriarch waved his hand and sent the seventeenth batch of martial artists into the ancestral land.
There were only twelve people in the seventeenth batch.
Fang Chen was among them.
Crash!
With a flash of white light, Fang Chen discovered that he had entered the Bi Family's ancestral land.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a terrifying pressure filled the air.
Fang Chen felt a strong pressure.
The eleven martial artists who came with him stood in front of eleven statues and accepted the test of their willpower.
Fang Chen stood in front of the last statue. A powerful pressure came from the statue, directly suppressing his soul.
"This pain is far from what I felt when I broke through the Limiteer realm," Fang Chen said to himself.
The pressure from the stone statues did not have much effect on him.
Although he could feel the tyrannical pressure, he was able to withstand it.
In the blink of an eye, only Fang Chen was left in the ancestral land.
At this time, only a few minutes had passed.
Fang Chen suddenly opened his eyes. The pressure from this statue could no longer temper his willpower.
"Let's go take a look at the other statues."
As he spoke, Fang Chen arrived in front of another statue.
Buzz!
A powerful aura enveloped Fang Chen's entire body.
"Mm."
Fang Chen discovered that the aura from this statue was completely different from the previous one.
"Could it be that each statue gives off a different feeling?"
Fang Chen was startled and immediately thought of an idea.
He could use the pressure from these eighteen statues to temper himself.
Outside, in the forbidden area of the back mountain, everyone's gaze was on the ancestral land.
"It's already been an hour. Why hasn't Fang Chen come out yet?" asked a city lord.
"It seems that Fang Chen's willpower is also very tenacious. He easily surpassed Li Tang," said another city lord.
Li Tang's face was ashen as he clenched his fists.
On the other hand, Wang Kui was very calm.
He had endured for two hours with great difficulty. It was as if he had experienced a life-and-death battle and was very tired.
He did not believe that Fang Chen could last for more than two hours..
So, the first place of the second round..
The Bi Family Patriarch thoughtfully looked at Fang Chen..
What they did not know was that the pressure from the eighteen statues in the ancestral land did not put much pressure on Fang Chen.
The other warriors desperately tried to resist the pressure while Fang Chen used this pressure to cultivate.
"From the looks of it, this statue should have been a Fire Dao almighty when it was alive," Fang Chen muttered to himself.
He could feel the scorching aura of the Way of Fire from the pressure emanating from the statue.
Fang Chen took this opportunity to refine his True Intent of Fire.
Each of these statues was an existence that suppressed an era. When they were alive, their strength was extremely terrifying.
. Although they were dead, their pressure contained a Dao that was hard for ordinary people to understand.
Right now, Fang Chen could feel a strong and flabbergasting Fire Dao Aura coming from the pressure coming from the statue.
The True Intent of Fire enveloped his body and constantly absorbed the Fire Dao Qi in the pressure.
Fang Chen could clearly feel that the True Intent of Fire was improving.
An hour later, the True Intent of Fire had improved to the fourth-grade.
The pressure from the statues had also weakened a lot.
Fang Chen cupped his fists at the statues and then walked to another statue.
There were several statues in succession. The Dao that each statue cultivated was related to Fang Chen.
Time passed by slowly.
Fourteen hours later, Fang Chen's seven True Intents, except for the True Intent of Dreamscape and the True Intent of Spacetime, had improved.
The True Intent of Fire was at the fourth-grade, the True Intent of Water was at the fourth-grade, the True Intent of Ice was at the fourth-grade, and the True Intent of Sword had reached the terrifying eighth-grade.
As for the True Intent of Dreamscape, it had also reached the peak of the third-grade, and the True Intent of Spacetime had reached the peak of the fifth-grade.
"What a pity."
After the last True Intent had improved, Fang Chen curled his lips. He felt that it was a pity.
If he could continue tempering himself in the ancestral land, his Will would definitely become even more tenacious.
Unfortunately, that was impossible.
Fang Chen was completely unaware that his actions had caused a sensation in the outside world.
Outside, back mountain forbidden area.
"It's been fourteen hours. Fang Chen couldn't have died in there, right?"
Some city lords believed that Fang Chen had most likely died in the ancestral land.
"Patriarch, what do you think?" Some other city lords asked the Bi Clan Patriarch.
"Fang Chen is still alive."
When the Bi Clan Patriarch said this, he was also somewhat shocked.
What kind of monster was Fang Chen to be able to persist for fourteen hours?
The Bi Clan Patriarch looked at the ancestral land with a burning gaze.
The entire back mountain was in an uproar. Countless cultivators were shocked.
Li Tang and Wang Kui were even more dumbfounded. They were speechless for a long time.
To be able to persist for fourteen hours under such pressure, was he still human?
However, Fang Chen didn't care about this.
He had already felt the pressure emitted by the eighteen statues. He had also comprehended it.
After comprehending it all, an unexpected surprise appeared.
The eighteen statues all shook.
Then, the eighteen statues actually opened their mouths to speak.
"I didn't expect that after being dead for so many years, we would still be able to wait for a genius who broke through the Extreme Realm."
"Hahaha, we didn't leave these statues in vain."
The eighteen statues all opened their mouths to speak.
They seemed to know that Fang Chen was a cultivator who broke through the Extreme Realm.
Rumble …
A ray of light shot out from each statue. Finally, these rays of light merged in the air and turned into a seven-colored fan that fell into Fang Chen's hand.
"Kid, if you encounter any difficulties one day, you can take out this fan. The Bi Clan will spare no effort to help you overcome your difficulties," said the first statue.
When Fang Chen held the seven-colored fan, some information also appeared in his mind.
He had unintentionally comprehended the pressure emitted by the eighteen statues and triggered the mechanism left behind by these seniors, thus obtaining this seven-colored fan.
Fang Chen raised his head. At this time, the eighteen statues had already returned to normal.
However, Fang Chen had a feeling that these statues seemed to have lost a trace of Spirit Qi.
"Divine Feather Fan."
Fang Chen played with the seven-colored fan and said softly.
The Divine Feather Fan was passed down by the Bi Clan's ancestor, but it had disappeared a long time ago.
He didn't expect that it had been in the ancestral land all this time.
Fang Chen put away the Divine Feather Fan, cupped his hands at the eighteen statues, and then left.
Splash …
The moment the ancestral land opened, all the cultivators stared at the exit with burning eyes.
Fang Chen walked out of the ancestral land calmly.
"He's out, Fang Chen is out."
Everyone in the crowd shouted excitedly.
Seeing Fang Chen come out, the whole back mountain was filled with shouts like a tsunami.
Many Heavenly Body Tier elites, including the Bi Clan's leader, were also excited.
Splash …
The Bi Clan's leader instantly appeared in front of Fang Chen.
He carefully observed Fang Chen, wanting to see through the latter.
"Fang Chen, are you alright?" the Bi Clan's leader asked.
Fang Chen was slightly stunned, and then shook his head.
"Are you really alright?" the Bi Clan's leader asked repeatedly.
"Thank you for your concern, Clan Leader, I'm really alright," Fang Chen said with a shrug.
"Hahaha!"
The Bi Clan's leader was overjoyed.
Prodigy, an absolute prodigy.
In the ancestral land, he had persisted for 14 hours. Too powerful.
This record was originally held by a prodigy of the Bi Clan a thousand years ago. He had persisted for 10 hours.
Now, however, it had been broken by Fang Chen.
"After this selection, regardless of whether Fang Chen wins first place or not, he will be a guest elder of the Bi Clan, and his status will be equivalent to Qing Qing's."
The Bi Clan's leader grabbed Fang Chen's arm and said loudly.
Everyone stared at Fang Chen, dumbfounded.
Li Tang and Wang Kui's eyes were filled with jealousy, and there was a hint of killing intent hidden in the depths of their eyes.
"Clan Leader!"
Fang Chen coughed softly. Only then did the clan leader realize that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly let go of Fang Chen's arm.
He chuckled and came to the forbidden area behind the mountain. Looking around at the crowd, he announced the results of the second round.
"The second round is a test of willpower. The top 100 will advance, and the rest will be eliminated."
The clan leader waved his hand and separated those who had advanced from those who had not.
"The first place of the second round is still Fang Chen."
If it had been the first round, Fang Chen had won first place by luck with formations.
Then, the second round was enough to prove his determination.
The great elites of the ancient times were all people with strong willpower.
Even the Bi Clan's leader felt inferior to Fang Chen's willpower.
If they were at the same cultivation level and age, he would definitely be inferior to Fang Chen.
After the second round ended, the martial artists would be allowed to rest.
The news of Fang Chen winning first place spread once again.
Qingyi City was in a frenzy.
In the center of Qingyi City, in a ninety-nine-story building.
On the top floor, Zhou Hong stood by the window, quietly watching the roaring of the Bi Clan's forbidden area behind the mountain.
Beside him stood a martial artist playing with a pearl.
"What a lucky guy. He actually won first place in two rounds in a row."
Hearing this, Zhou Hong shook his head slightly.
With a deep gaze, he said, "His willpower is indeed incomparable to ordinary people."
"Young Master Zhou."
The martial artist playing with the pearl did not understand why Young Master Zhou would praise the enemy.
"You don't understand the situation in the Bi Clan's ancestral land, so you don't understand what it means to persist for fourteen hours." Zhou Hong sighed and said, "Even I can't persist for fourteen hours."
Zhou Hong's words undoubtedly showed that in terms of willpower, he was inferior to Fang Chen.
Hearing this, the martial artist playing with the pearl was shocked and could not believe it.
Zhou Hong, who was like a god in his heart, actually admitted that he was inferior to a nobody.
"Young Master Zhou, that kid must have some treasure that can resist the pressure. Otherwise, he would not have been able to persist for fourteen hours." The martial artist playing with the pearl still refused to admit that Fang Chen was inferior.
Zhou Hong shook his head.
No one knew better than him how terrifying Fang Chen's willpower was.
