"Buzz"
Long Chen felt his body grow slightly heavier. Twenty dragon strengths put him at ease.
Long Chen was afraid that if there was a hundred dragon power here, the next step would be a thousand dragon power. If that happened, not only would no one else get through, even he wouldn't be able to get through, and who knew how many steps were left ahead.
Twenty Dragon Power was nothing to Long Chen. As he moved forward, climbing step after step, the pressure increased by ten with each step.
Long Chen climbed nine steps in a row, and the pressure increased to ninety dragon power. Even with his strength, it was hard to handle. Walking under such pressure was extremely draining and continuous.
Although Long Chen possessed over five hundred dragon powers, walking quickly through the passage made his whole body ache and numb, as if all his strength had been absorbed.
After finally reaching the tenth step and his strength increased to one hundred dragon powers, Long Chen began to catch his breath. Fortunately, he saw a huge portal.
"That should be ... This is the next gate. Oh my, I can't take it anymore, let's go back and catch our breath first. Long Chen felt the pressure here was too great, his breathing was difficult, and he began to retreat all the way.
When he retreated to about fifty dragon powers, he finally felt much better, and the discomfort gradually faded.
When Long Chen returned to the Ten Dragon Power Zone, there was no one inside; everyone had gone back to the place they had just entered to rest.
"Big brother, are you going to the next step?" After Long Chen returned, Zhu Yifeng immediately came over excitedly.
Yu Qingxuan, Yu Qianxue, Zhu Yunwen, and other princes and princesses excitedly gathered around. The Ten Dragon Power was their limit, so they dared not go to the next area and could only rely on Long Chen to gather information.
Long Chen said solemnly, "I have some unfortunate news for you. At the tenth step, the pressure has reached one hundred dragon powers. For everyone, this will be a terrifying test." Everyone
was shocked, and Zhu Yifeng's face was full of disbelief: "Big brother, you... You've already reached the tenth step? Long
Chen nodded and said, "I'm at the checkpoint, but the pressure there is immense. Even I can't handle it, and now things are in trouble." Everyone
looked at each other in confusion. Zhu Yunwen said, "Brother Long, you're too strong. You have to understand, after reaching the sixth stage, not only will there be pressure on the steps, but also strong resistance. At that point, you need to join forces to resist together."
This kind of trial is also a test of our collective cooperation. Yet you alone have reached the threshold of the tenth stage. The pressure there is a hundred dragon powers, but if you go alone, you'll probably have to withstand nearly a thousand dragon power! Everyone
stared at Long Chen in shock. If someone else said such things, they would never believe it no matter what. How terrifying must that power be? Long Chen's last time was over five hundred dragon power, which was already astonishing. Could he still be holding back?
Hearing Zhu Yunwen say this, Long Chen couldn't help but slap his thigh: "I see. No wonder I always feel like space has a pulling force. When I walk, I end up swaying and swaying, it's so exhausting, I'm almost struggling to breathe." "
Big brother, you're too strong!" Zhu Yifeng said with admiration, and the other princes and princesses looked at Long Chen as if he were a monster.
Only Yu Qingxuan always wore a sweet smile on her face, her beautiful eyes full of pride. Among everyone present, only she knew how powerful Long Chen was. No matter how difficult the environment, as long as he was there, everything could be at ease. He gave people an endless sense of security.
"If that's the case, everyone needs to speed up the process. When the eight great empires return, they will definitely reorganize their forces. Once they complete their strategic deployment, they will launch a major attack on the Vermilion Bird Empire.
They believed they had already detected the Vermilion Bird's strengths and weaknesses. Once war broke out, they wouldn't bother to probe at all—it would be a thunderous slaughter.
Everyone here is the protagonist of this era. This battle to protect the nation will definitely involve us. The rise and fall of Zhuque depends on us.
So, brothers and sisters, war is no child's play; its cruelty and bloodshed far exceed your imagination.
We don't have much time to rest. The trial ground is the battlefield, time is life. Imagine your parents and elders gathering now, waiting to go into battle. What should you do now? Long Chen swept his gaze over all the royal disciples, his voice low as he spoke.
Long Chen's words were deeply moving. It was as if everyone could already see their parents and relatives donning armor, taking out their sealed weapons, and marching heroically toward the battlefield.
At that moment, all the royal disciples stood up, gritting their teeth and heading straight for the Ten Dragon Power area.
Previously, they were filled with fear of this trial, but now, they treated the trial ground as a battlefield. They feared no death, so they had nothing to hold back.
Zhu Yifeng and the others were deeply ashamed. They were all princes and princesses and should bear heavier responsibilities. For such a matter to be supervised by an outsider, Long Chen, they were all utterly ashamed.
Long Chen, an outsider, saw farther ahead than they did, seeing the crisis at Vermilion Bird, while they only saw the immediate difficulties. Each of them poured their full strength into deeper areas.
"Qingxuan, you need to be careful. Don't push yourself too hard!" Long Chen pulled Yu Qingxuan aside and spoke gently.
Yu Qingxuan looked at Long Chen and gave him a sweet smile, saying, "No, I want to fight. I want to become a strong person like Sister Mengqi, Xiaoyun, and Xiaoyu."
I want to be like them, possessing great strength to protect you at critical moments. Looking
at Yu Qingxuan's smile, Long Chen was momentarily stunned. Her words were more shocking than any vows of eternal eternal love. He was stunned for a long time, and when he finally looked at Yu Qingxuan again, she had already taken the next step.
After resting for a while, Long Chen reached his peak stamina and pressed forward again. He saw all the royal disciples stepping onto the Ten Dragon Power Zone, a few already at the Twenty Dragon Power Zone, and the princes and princesses having reached the Thirty Dragon Power Zone.
Long Chen's words brought a huge sense of crisis to them. They truly began to fight desperately. Long Chen was shocked to discover that as they began to fight desperately, a strange power emerged within them, as if some kind of seal within them was quietly loosening.
When Long Chen reached the tenth step, in front of the gate, just as he was about to summon his primordial spirit for cultivation, the voice of a dragon clan expert rang out:
"Don't just fool others, put some pressure on yourself. Get in!"
"Once inside, you can't look back. Is that okay?" Long Chen exclaimed in surprise.
"This is their trial ground. Do you really think they'll die here? Back then, you opened up their domain, but it was purely unnecessary. You wasted their time to activate the Vermilion Bird Divine Seal. Enough talk, get inside! The dragon clan expert said irritably.
Long Chen had no choice but to grit his teeth and step through the portal. As soon as he stepped through, he cried out in alarm, missed his foot, and fell like a meteor.
