After Fang Chen stepped onto the pontoon, his figure disappeared in an instant.
Xihuan Net
When he saw his surroundings clearly, he found himself in a hazy sealed space. In this sealed space, there was only extremely dense spiritual energy.
"This place seems like a battlefield," Fang Chen muttered to himself.
Crash!
At this moment, a golden light suddenly appeared, followed by the appearance of a warrior. This warrior's face was stiff, without any signs of life. It was a puppet.
"A puppet," Fang Chen exclaimed in a low voice.
"Human, I am a Yellow Grade puppet. Defeat me and you will be able to challenge a Black Grade puppet," the Yellow Grade puppet said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Fang Chen instantly understood.
So the so-called test of the pontoon was to defeat the puppet in front of him.
Just as Fang Chen stared at the puppet, the Yellow Grade puppet instantly launched a fierce attack.
Bang!
In his haste, Fang Chen exchanged a punch with the puppet. In an instant, the puppet's body was sent flying.
"It's not that strong."
Fang Chen muttered, and then a dense black flame appeared around his body. He clenched his fist, and the black flame wrapped around his fist as he threw a punch at the Yellow Grade puppet.
Bang!
Without any fancy movements, Fang Chen's simple punch directly landed on the puppet's body. Suddenly, the black flame from his fist was transmitted into the puppet's body.
Crack!
Fang Chen heard a cracking sound, and then the Yellow Grade puppet actually shattered in front of him.
Looking at the shattered puppet, Fang Chen was speechless.
This puppet was too weak. Just as Fang Chen was thinking, a dazzling light suddenly shot out.
Then, a puppet appeared.
"Human, you have damaged the Yellow Grade puppet. You will be punished by the Water God Sect," the puppet said.
"Punishment won't happen, right?"
Fang Chen was a little speechless. Could it be that he could only defeat the puppet, but not damage it?
However, the puppet didn't give Fang Chen any chance to explain, and directly said, "Human, the Water God Sect's punishment is to accept the Heavenly Trial. If you fail, you will be directly kicked out of the Water God Sect. If you win, you will receive a Heaven Grade wooden token."
Hearing the puppet's words, Fang Chen was speechless.
Didn't he just damage a Yellow Grade puppet? The Water God Sect actually sent a Heaven Grade puppet to fight him.
Even Fan Xinjue could only defeat an Earth Grade puppet. One could imagine how strong a Heaven Grade puppet was. Even Fang Chen didn't have any confidence in defeating it.
However, he had no choice but to brace himself and fight.
"Ha!"
The Heaven-grade puppet bellowed and suddenly launched a fierce and overbearing attack.
Water ripples appeared in the air, and then the Heaven Grade puppet's palm. The ripples turned into a long spear directly pierced towards Fang.
"How is this possible?"
Seeing the Heaven Grade puppet's technique, Fang Chen was completely shocked.
What kind of Sect was the Water God Sect? Even a puppet could control the water element aura like this, and it could even turn water ripples into a weapon at will.
As expected of the Water God Sect's Heaven Grade puppet, it was too overbearing.
Although he was shocked, Fang Chen was still the fastest to act. He used the Flowing Water Sword Technique.
In the sealed space, water ripples constantly emerged, and finally turned into sword-light that pierced towards the long spear.
Bang!
Under Fang Chen's gaze, the long spear directly pierced through Fang Chen's sword-light and rapidly shot towards Fang Chen.
At this moment, Fang Chen discovered that the illusory long sword actually contained the concept of water. Was this Heaven Grade puppet so heaven-defying?
"Void Plundering Array."
Fang Chen knew that it was impossible to defeat the Heaven Grade puppet with just the Flowing Water Sword Technique, so he did not hesitate to set up the Void Plundering Array.
Of course, this time, Fang Chen used Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones to set up the array. Even if he was a tycoon, he did not have that many Purple Crystal Stones, and Purple Crystal Stones were so valuable.
Crash!
After the Void Plundering Array appeared, it immediately enveloped the Heaven Grade puppet.
However, the Heaven Grade puppet did not change at all. It still controlled the concept of water, and launched a fierce attack on Fang Chen.
Hiss!
Fang Chen controlled the Void Plundering Array and constantly plunder the Heaven Grade puppet's water concept.
The Heaven Grade puppet seemed to have realized this, and its attacks on Fang Chen became even fiercer.
Flowing Water Sword Technique.
The entry-level Flowing Water Sword Technique was displayed to the extreme by Fang Chen. Countless sword-lights of water suddenly shot out and collided with the Heaven Grade puppet's water spear.
With the Void Plundering Array, Fang Chen could clearly feel that the concept of water on the Heaven Grade puppet was slowly dissipating. Without the support of the concept of water, the Heaven Grade puppet was just so-so.
After discovering this, Fang Chen adopted a roundabout strategy.
He did not meet the Heaven Grade puppet head-on. Instead, he constantly dodged. At the same time, he urged the concept of fire to use the black flames to attack the Heaven Grade puppet.
Of course, the biggest threat to the Heaven Grade puppet was the Void Plundering Array.
The Void Plundering Array was constantly absorbing the concept of water on the puppet's body. After a short while, the puppet became much weaker.
After three minutes, the Heaven Grade puppet's combat strength had dropped to the level of an Earth Grade puppet. This allowed Fang Chen to defeat it very easily.
Boom!
When Fang Chen defeated the Heaven Grade puppet, a golden light rushed out of the pontoon.
At this time, on the Shattered Plain, everyone was curiously staring at the pontoon. Fang Chen had been in there for a long time, but he still had not come out. What was going on?
"Humph, he hasn't come out for such a long time. Did he die in the pontoon test?" Hong Wu's eyes flickered as she said coldly.
"Even if it's an Earth Grade test, it shouldn't have taken so long." The Priest was a little confused.
Jin Zhong gazed at the pontoon and said in a low voice, "Maybe he was arrogant enough to challenge the Heaven Grade puppet and was killed by it."
Hearing Jin Zhong's words, the experts on the Hidden Dragon List around him nodded.
If a Formation Grandmaster and a Priest could pass the Earth Grade test, then Fang Chen must have been arrogant enough to challenge the Heaven Grade test and was killed by the Heaven Grade puppet.
Fan Xinjue narrowed his eyes and stared at the pontoon. He did not believe that Fang Chen had died in the pontoon test.
On the Shattered Plain, many martial artists were also discussing the matter.
After a while, Fang Chen still did not come out. Hong Wu and the others were even more convinced that Fang Chen had died in the pontoon. Her face was full of smiles.
"Humph, he overestimated himself," Hong Wu said disdainfully.
Jin Zhong was about to say something when he suddenly saw a change in the pontoon. He shouted, "The pontoon is changing!"
As soon as Jin Zhong's words left his mouth, a beam of golden light suddenly shot up into the sky. The power contained in the beam of golden light was so strong that it made countless warriors on the Shattered Plains tremble.
The golden light floated in the sky for a long time.
The golden light slowly spread out, and in the center of it was a large "Tian" character.
"Tian!" Fan Xinjue exclaimed in disbelief when he saw the character in the golden light.
"How is that possible? The character has appeared! Did Fang Chen pass the test?" Many experts on the Hidden Dragon List exclaimed in disbelief.
Hong Wu, Fan Xinjue, and Fan Xinjue's faces were extremely gloomy as they stared at the pontoon.
At this moment, a figure walked out of the pontoon with a faint smile on his face and a wooden token with the character "Tian" in his hand.
"Fang Chen, I told you that you wouldn't die so easily," Fan Xinjue said with a smile.
The way the other experts on the Hidden Dragon List looked at Fang Chen also changed slightly.
The appearance of the wooden token with the character "Tian" shocked all the martial artists.
"It's actually the wooden token with the character" Tian ". Even Fan Xinjue didn't get it."
"Priest got the wooden token with the character" Earth ", while Fang Chen got the wooden token with the character" Tian ". Both of them are experts in formations. Does the pontoon test have something to do with formations?"
"It must be. Otherwise, with Fang Chen's strength, he wouldn't have been able to get the token with the character" Tian "."
Among the four tests, the "Tian" test was the most difficult one. Even Fan Xinjue, who was ranked 30th on the Hidden Dragon List, couldn't pass it, let alone Fang Chen.
Although a formation grandmaster was very powerful, in front of absolute strength, everything else was nothing.
And now, Fan Xinjue was the absolute strength for Fang Chen.
Many martial artists thought that since even Fan Xinjue and Sha He couldn't pass the Heaven-grade test, Fang Chen must have passed it by luck because of formations.
However, even so, it was still shocking enough.
Some martial artists who had underestimated Fang Chen felt their faces burning, as if they had been slapped.
Hong Wu, who was dressed in red, had a gloomy face. Her heart was full of hatred as she stared coldly at Fang Chen. "How could this be? Why is he so lucky every time?"
Li Xiaoke also walked up to Fang Chen and congratulated him in a low voice.
For a moment, Fang Chen became the focus of everyone on the Shattered Plain.
Of course, although everyone was shocked, the pontoon test had to continue.
All the martial artists had to pass the pontoon test. Only those who got a wooden token could enter the Water God Sect.
Because of Fang Chen's "Tian" wooden token, almost none of the martial artists who took part in the test attracted attention. The strongest one only got a "Xuan" wooden token.
Of course, there were also some weaker martial artists who actually died directly within the pontoon bridge test.
Two hours later, all the cultivators had finally passed the floating bridge test.
On the entire Shattered Plain, Fang Chen was the only one with a "Tian" wooden token, followed by three "Earth" wooden tokens. As for the others, they had "Xuan" wooden tokens and "Huang" wooden tokens.
"The pontoon test is over. Next, those with wooden tokens will be sent to the Water God Sect."
The ancient voice rang out once again.
As soon as the voice sounded, the hazy aura on the pontoon instantly disappeared.
Everyone looked over and saw a bottomless gully.
This was the first time the gully had shown its true appearance. The bottomless gully was filled with an extremely rich ancient aura, which shocked countless martial artists.
