Time flowed by. Very soon, it was Han Shan's turn.
The moment he stepped onto the arena, it caused a huge commotion.
"Quickly look, that guy is finally going to reveal his true colors, right?"
"If he's defeated in this third round of combat test, Lord Leader won't be able to shield him, right?"
"Hmph, I want to see what capabilities he has to be able to reach this step."
Many people spoke ill of Han Shan.
However, the latter was calm.
If a dog bites you, you can't bite the dog back, right?
In life, there were many such people. He might as well just ignore them.
Han Shan's opponent was an extremely powerful World Evolution Realm powerhouse.
When they saw his opponent, the crowd's eyes were filled with ridicule.
"It's Qin Cang."
Everyone cried out in surprise. They didn't expect that Han Shan's opponent was actually Qin Cang.
This person's strength could be considered top-notch in the World Evolution Realm. In the first two rounds of test, he was even a step away from entering the top ten.
"This guy is dead for sure."
"Hahaha, I heard that Qin Cang was already somewhat dissatisfied with him before. This time, he will definitely not show mercy."
Accompanied by the mocking voices of everyone, Qin Cang walked in front of Han Shan.
"I'm very curious. What capabilities do you have to actually be able to get Lord Leader to personally appoint you?"
Qin Cang narrowed his eyes. His eyes were filled with ridicule.
"Won't you know after the battle?"
Facing Qin Cang's ridicule, Han Shan was still unmoved. It was as if Qin Cang was a joke before him.
"I hope that you can still be so stubborn later."
Boom!
As his voice faded, a terrifying aura was released from Qin Cang's body.
In the sky above his head, a crescent moon appeared. What shocked everyone was that this crescent moon was actually blood-red.
"This is … the Death Moon."
Everyone cried out in surprise. Everyone was shocked.
It was rumored that Qin Cang was an unaffiliated cultivator. After going through untold hardships, he finally obtained a supreme inheritance from the ancient era in a certain ruin. From then on, his name completely spread throughout the Primordial Chaos.
However, in the same realm, there had never been anyone who could force him to unleash his strongest attack.
But now, facing Han Shan, a cultivator who looked extremely ordinary, he unleashed his strongest attack right from the start. This was sufficient to show that Qin Cang was angry.
"Death, strangle."
A sinister voice sounded from Qin Cang's mouth.
The next moment, Qin Cang spread his hands. The moon of death above his head rapidly descended onto his hands.
Weng!
He held the Moon of Death in his hands, accumulated enough power, and suddenly exploded.
With the Death Moon as the core, layers of powerful energy rippled out. The entire arena was instantly enveloped by a terrifying airflow.
Swish!
Seeing this, Han Shan was not anxious. Instead, he leaped and easily dodged Qin Cang's full force attack.
"Although your attacks are strong, they are full of flaws."
At this moment, Han Shan was like a ferocious tiger, unleashing his most ferocious counterattack.
For countless years, he had been fighting on the edge of life and death. Every battle could be the last battle of his life.
What he experienced was not what Qin Cang could compare to at all.
And under this kind of high-intensity training where he had a slim chance of surviving, his survival skills far surpassed that of a Commander rank martial artist.
The current him was able to see that there were many flaws in Qin Cang's attacks with a single glance.
Rip!
Han Shan threw out a series of punches.
Boom! Boom!
What was strange was that each of his fist lights came from a different angle, smashing towards Qin Cang's flaws in an extremely crafty manner.
"Break for me!"
Seeing the first fist light that was close at hand, Qin Cang's eyes flickered. With a low shout, the Death Moon in his hands suddenly expanded, wanting to devour the fist light.
However, just as the fist light collided with the Death Moon, his expression suddenly changed greatly.
"How is this possible?"
He discovered to his shock that not only was the fist light not devoured by the Death Moon, it even penetrated the insides of the Death Moon, crazily destroying it.
"Is it a coincidence?"
Qin Cang felt that this was a coincidence.
He increased the power of his attacks, wanting to use absolute strength to end the battle as easily as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.
However, the following scene caused him to be completely stupefied.
Boom! Boom!
Dozens of fist lights bombarded the Death Moon in a row.
The seemingly powerful Death Moon actually had no power to resist at all, shattering with a loud bang.
And Qin Cang's body was also sent flying, smashing into the ground.
Boom!
When the smoke on the arena dissipated and everyone saw the result, the entire plaza was deathly silent!
Everyone was dumbstruck, unable to believe what they saw.
"How is this possible?
Qin Cang actually lost? "
Finally, after a brief moment of silence, someone cried out in shock.
"Heavens, how did Qin Cang lose?"
"The Death Moon is Qin Cang's strongest attack, why didn't it block Han Shan's attack?"
"Cheating, he must have cheated."
There were actually people who suspected that Han Shan was cheating.
"Impudent!"
Palace Lord Woodgreen suddenly stood up and berated.
Immediately, the clamorous voices in the plaza gradually calmed down.
The hearts of everyone were still shaken.
Only Han Shan stood on the arena, coldly looking at everyone.
"Han Shan won this battle."
Palace Lord Woodgreen personally announced the result. Even if everyone was unconvinced, there was nothing they could do.
Ye Qing, Lin Hongyi, Jin Ming, Fatty Wu, and the others all looked at Han Shan thoughtfully.
At this moment, they treated Han Shan as a formidable opponent.
After a short moment, everyone gradually recovered from their shock. Some finally understood why the Lord Leader had personally appointed Han Shan.
"How terrifying. Qin Cang's Death Moon is practically comparable to a Region Lord. I never expected that he would still be no match for Han Shan."
"Han Shan's body is filled with piercingly cold killing intent. It's obvious that he's been fighting on the Battlefield of Life and Death all year round. His survival skills aren't something that ordinary people can compare to."
Some had also noticed how terrifying Han Shan was.
In short, after this battle, no one dared to underestimate Han Shan anymore.
The first elimination round of the third stage had ended, and it was quickly followed by the second and third rounds.
Three days later.
The third stage of the test had finally come to an end.
Many of the Sacred Palace Masters had also chosen disciples they were proud of.
"Jin Ming, are you willing to cultivate under my wing?"
The Fire Sky Palace Lord spoke when he saw that most of them had chosen.
"Disciple is willing."
Jin Ming was extremely pleasantly surprised when he heard this. Many higher-ups of the Golden Dragon Merchant Group were extremely excited as well.
Even though their Golden Dragon Merchant Group had business dealings with the Fire Sky Palace Lord, their relationship wasn't stable after all.
Now that Jin Ming had become a disciple of the Fire Sky Palace Lord, their Golden Dragon Merchant Group had truly found a backer.
Many disciples with outstanding performances were chosen by the almighties.
There were only three people that no one chose.
They were Ye Qing, Lin Hongyi, and Han Shan!
The three of them?
Everyone was slightly surprised. Why didn't Palace Lord Woodgreen and the others choose them?
After all, Palace Lord Woodgreen was a wood element cultivator, and so was Ye Qing. Logically speaking, Palace Lord Woodgreen should be tempted.
