"Roar!" "Roar~"
The moment Jiang Ye entered the energy barrier, the hundred-plus Shadow Clan members within the enclosed area erupted into a frenzy.
Countless piercing roars tore through the air!
In an instant, over a dozen Shadow Clan Juveniles, each towering ten meters tall, charged toward Jiang Ye with murderous intent.
Undaunted, Jiang Ye fearlessly dove forward, closing the distance with lightning speed.
Just as the two sides were about to collide,
Clang! The nine-foot Black Dragon Spear on Jiang Ye's back suddenly shot skyward, transforming into a dazzling spear beam that swept downward.
Boom!
A terrifying surge of stellar energy erupted, like a cannonball crashing into the ocean, unleashing a colossal tidal wave.
In a mere instant, several Juveniles screamed in agony as the devastating energy tore them to shreds.
Approaching the second breakthrough?
Against such opponents, Jiang Ye didn't even need to employ his spearmanship.
A single, unadorned thrust was enough to annihilate entire swathes of enemies!
"Return!" Jiang Ye beckoned, and the nine-foot spear instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning, snapping back into his hand.
"Kill!" Jiang Ye's figure blurred as he lunged forward.
Starlight blazed.
Boom! Spear strikes erupted like an avalanche, unleashing terrifying shockwaves that swept across the battlefield.
Under this overwhelming assault, the Shadow Clan's numbers within the enclosed area dwindled at an alarming rate.
Suddenly, a monstrous roar tore through the air, brimming with murderous intent, as it hurtled toward Jiang Ye.
In the next instant, a colossal shadow materialized, charging with unimaginable speed.
Despite its massive size, the creature moved with astonishing swiftness.
The Shadow Clan's ability to merge with shadows granted them extraordinary speed.
Especially Shadow Clan members over ten meters tall could unleash supersonic attacks in an instant, capable of killing even second breakthrough experts with a single strike if they let their guard down.
"Juvenile Form?" Jiang Ye's figure flickered, evading the initial assault.
Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! The spear flashed like lightning, streaking across the battlefield like starlight, unleashing a series of ear-splitting sonic booms.
In an instant, over a thousand strands of stellar energy surged through his Star Meridian, converging into the spear.
As the starlight reached its zenith, Jiang Ye thrust the spear forward with explosive force.
Whoosh! A pale crimson phantom of the Great Sun materialized.
Great Sun Spear Technique, Eighteenth Form—Great Sun Pierces the Clouds!
Swoosh! The scarlet Great Sun shot through the clouds, instantly slamming into the Shadow Clan Juvenile.
Roar! With a deafening roar, the Shadow Clan Juvenile was struck as if by a meteor, half its body exploding into fragments.
But in the next instant—
Whoosh! Enraged beyond reason, the Shadow Clan Juvenile lunged at Jiang Ye with reckless abandon.
"Impressive vitality," Jiang Ye murmured, his gaze sharpening.
This came as no surprise.
Shadow Clan Juveniles possessed an abnormally high level of vitality. Even with half their bodies destroyed, they could remain alive for a considerable time.
This was precisely why second-tier and higher Shadow Calamities were so perilous.
Unless the Shadow Clan Juvenile was killed instantly with a single strike, the attacker would face relentless counterattacks.
Hmph!
Jiang Ye snorted coldly. "Then let's try this again."
Facing the frenzied Shadow Clan Juvenile, he neither dodged nor retreated, instead thrusting his spear forward with explosive force.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In rapid succession, Jiang Ye unleashed three spear strikes, his momentum building to its peak.
Thousands of strands of stellar energy surged into the spear.
The fourth spear thrust erupted!
A magnificent, boundless Great Sun materialized.
Its color rapidly shifted from white to pale purple, then pale crimson, finally settling into a vibrant orange-red.
This signified that Jiang Ye had reached the fourth stage of the Great Sun Spear Technique! Its power was many times greater than the third stage.
"Die."
Jiang Ye thrust his spear forward, and the orange-red Great Sun descended.
Faced with such an overwhelming killing move, the Shadow Clan youth had no chance to resist. The orange-red Great Sun crushed him, driving him into the ground.
BOOM!
A terrifying energy wave erupted, instantly blasting a massive crater dozens of meters wide into the earth.
At the center of the crater, the Shadow Clan youth lay shattered, his body pulverized.
Two moves!
A Shadow Clan youth comparable to an early-stage second breakthrough expert, dead!
Jiang Ye showed no emotion. After killing the first youth, he transformed into a blur and swiftly moved toward the next target.
Now, even facing Shadow Clan members at the mid-stage of the second breakthrough, he was confident in his ability to kill them!
Let alone these early-stage second breakthrough opponents.
He didn't even need to use his ultimate move; he slaughtered them effortlessly.
Inside the Starry Pavilion:
"The killing has begun."
"Judging by these youngsters' performances, Shi Ting seems to be the only one with a chance at the Heaven-Tier Inheritance," the purple-robed elder observed, watching the projections.
The Heaven-Tier Inheritance was no easy feat to obtain.
Each time the White Dragon's Court opened, it was considered a success if even a single student managed to claim it.
"Let's see how Old Zhu's student is doing."
"Hmm, two moves to take down a Shadow Clan youth in its prime. Average."
"If he could do it in one move, that would be considered excellent."
"It's hard to gauge his true combat potential," the teachers murmured among themselves.
The purple-robed elder turned his gaze to that particular projection, a hint of surprise flickering across his face.
"If Jiang Ye continues at this pace," the elder shook his head, "he likely won't secure the Heaven-Tier Inheritance."
"You're being too harsh, elder," Zhu Honglie chuckled. "My expectations for him are simply to claim the High-Grade Earth-Tier Inheritance. That would be considered a success."
Beside him, Qiu Cang nodded in agreement. "There are five opportunities each year. If he fails this time, he can try again next time."
"Even Shi Ting, that girl, had to participate in three trials before she finally had a chance at the Heaven-Tier Inheritance," Qiu Cang added, already forming a rough assessment of the White Dragon's Court's outcome.
Apart from Shi Ting, the others would likely only secure High-Grade Earth-Tier Inheritances at best.
As for Jiang Ye? Even a High-Grade Earth-Tier Inheritance seemed doubtful.
"Old Zhu, I'm heading back to teach," Qiu Cang said with a smile, his schedule was tight.
"Alright," Zhu Honglie nodded. "I should return soon too. After all, there won't be any projections to watch after the second trial."
The White Dragon's Court only showed projections for the first trial.
Once the second trial began, the court would completely seal off, preventing even the teachers from seeing anything.
However, when the students finished their trials, if anyone obtained a Heaven-Tier Inheritance, the entire White Dragon's Court would erupt with astonishing phenomena.
At that point, they would naturally learn the results.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, ten minutes had elapsed.
Most of the teachers in the Starry Pavilion had already left.
"This old man should depart as well," the purple-robed elder said, his gaze sweeping over the projections, his heart utterly calm.
Apart from Shi Ting, no other student seemed capable of obtaining a Heaven-Tier Inheritance this time.
"Hmm?"
Just as the purple-robed elder was about to leave, his gaze suddenly caught sight of one of the projection screens.
"That's..."
"What? How is this possible?!" The purple-robed elder's eyes narrowed sharply. "This kid's combat power?"
In the next moment...
The purple-robed elder swiftly dialed Qiu Cang's number.
"Old Qiu, the Heaven-Tier Inheritance... it might not be limited to Shi Ting!"
