“Roar!”
“Kill!”
In a valley engulfed in flames, a black bull with two massive black horns on its head, radiating an aura of slaughter, was locked in a fierce battle with a green-robed cultivator. Behind the cultivator swirled five azure-scaled, white-whiskered true dragons.
Each earth-shattering roar from the black mountain bull summoned torrential flames, as if the bull controlled the very essence of fire in the world. The green-robed cultivator was equally unyielding. Facing the black mountain bull's fiery onslaught, he clashed with the powerful creature using his fists, while the five true dragons repeatedly charged into the fray.
With a resounding crash, the Great Strength Black Mountain Bull thrust its two massive horns skyward, unleashing a torrent of blood energy that instantly sent the green-robed cultivator hurtling back ten meters.
“So strong, truly deserving of the strength of ten dragons…”
[You engaged in battle with the Great Strength Black Mountain Bull. Upon contact, you immediately sensed the power of the Primordial Black Mountain Bull. Truly deserving of the strength of ten dragons, you found yourself at a disadvantage in terms of raw power. Before you could even exchange ten blows, the Great Strength Black Mountain Bull had already sent you flying ten meters. In terms of strength, you are no match for this bull.]
[Refusing to concede, you once again surged your blood energy and outlined runes on your heart, liver, kidneys, and other internal organs, employing all the power of your physical body. You clashed with the Primordial Black Mountain Bull once more. Within a hundred moves, you barely managed to hold your own against the Black Mountain Bull. Within two hundred moves, you completely fell into a disadvantageous position. You only possess the strength of six dragons, while the Primordial Black Mountain Bull possesses the strength of ten dragons. The disparity in power between you is too great. After another hundred moves, you were utterly defenseless. Each roar from the Primordial Black Mountain Bull inflicted injuries upon your body. At this moment, you are covered in blood.]
[You sensed danger. Relying solely on physical strength, you are indeed no match for the Primordial Black Mountain Bull. If you could utilize spiritual power, if you could employ divine abilities, you believed you could handle it with ease. However, this trial tests physical strength, and you could clearly feel that your spiritual power had been sealed. You could only rely on the strength of your physical body.]
“Kill! I refuse to believe it. If the Fourth Prince can win, so can I!”
[You once again surged your blood energy and summoned five elemental true dragons to clash with the Primordial Black Mountain Bull. However, after another hundred moves, you were once again utterly defeated by the Black Mountain Bull, coughing up blood.]
“Could it be that I’m going to lose?” Lin Changqing was unwilling to accept defeat. He had already exerted all his strength and techniques, but he was still defeated.
What could he do to win?
Should he use the Seven Wounds Fist?
Sacrificing lifespan to use the Seven Wounds Fist could increase his cultivation, but that would increase his spiritual power cultivation, with little enhancement to his physical strength.
Moreover, using the Seven Wounds Fist would exhaust all his lifespan, essentially ending this simulation prematurely.
[You racked your brain, trying to figure out how to defeat this Primordial Black Mountain Bull. Then, you suddenly realized that you didn't have any good solutions. In the blink of an eye, while you were pondering, the Primordial Black Mountain Bull charged towards you again. You hurriedly resisted, but after ten moves, you were defeated again. This time, the Great Strength Black Mountain Bull's massive horns pierced directly through your chest and abdomen, and you were covered in blood.]
“Successor, concede! If you continue to fight, you will die. I might as well tell you that the two challengers before you, one male and one female, the female challenger surrendered to save her life. The reason why the male challenger passed this trial was because he possessed a secret technique to amplify his strength. You don't have it. If you want to live, you can only concede,” the black-robed, emaciated old man said.
“I will not concede.” Lin Changqing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shook his head firmly.
Since the Mountain Sea Sect has set up this trial, it means there must be a way to pass it. The young sect masters of previous generations, including the Fourth Prince, were able to pass it. Why can't he?
A strong person must have the heart to be invincible in the same realm.
Lin Changqing once again looked at the Black Mountain Bull with firm eyes. At this moment, he wasn't purely motivated by obtaining the rewards.
Now, he wanted to prove that he was no weaker than others.
Just like that saying, the Great Emperor Void was never weaker than anyone in his life. Only with such a strong heart can one grow into a powerhouse who can dominate an era!
“If others can do it, so can I!”
[Bearing his injuries, you once again clashed with the Black Mountain Bull. You used your blood energy to outline the runes of your internal organs. You used all your strength. However, the ten-dragon strength of this Primordial Black Mountain Bull was too terrifying. After a hundred moves, you were defeated again. This time, your back was pierced by the bull's horns, and blood flowed non-stop. Your green robe was directly dyed into a blood-red robe. At this moment, you were extremely weak, and you felt your vitality rapidly draining away.]
[This time, you lost again. You exhausted all your techniques, but you still couldn't withstand the Black Mountain Bull. However, your heart was filled with hope, because in the battle just now, you suddenly discovered a trick, which was that you found that the power of the flame you outlined using the heart rune in the battle with the Primordial Black Mountain Bull did more damage to the Primordial Black Mountain Bull. Moreover, you found that after hitting the Primordial Black Mountain Bull with the heart rune, with each hit, your heart rune would grow a little stronger. Although it was very weak, you could see that the size of your heart rune was now larger than the other four internal organ runes.]
“The heart belongs to fire, and this Primordial Black Mountain Bull is surrounded by flames. Perhaps the key to this battle lies in outlining the flame rune of the internal organs, the power of the heart, and fighting this bull.”
Lin Changqing narrowed his eyes. He felt that he had probably found the key to winning.
“Roar!” The Primordial Black Mountain Bull charged over again.
Lin Changqing did not show any weakness and went up to meet it. This time, he did not use the power of the five elements, the power of his physical body, or the other four internal organs, but simply the heart rune!
[You discovered the trick to the power test. You clashed with the Black Mountain Bull again. This time, you only used the power of the heart rune. This time, you were once again utterly defeated and covered in blood. But you didn't care, because the power of your heart rune was now stronger than before, and the Primordial Black Mountain Bull on the opposite side was weaker.]
[You were ecstatic. You had indeed found the trick to passing the second power test. You used the World Tree fragment to repair your injuries, and then instantly clashed with the Black Mountain Bull again. Just like that, again and again. An hour later, you were once again utterly defeated by the Primordial Black Mountain Bull, but you laughed wildly at the sky, because your heart rune was much stronger than before, and you had now reached the strength of seven dragons!]
[At this moment, you finally determined that you would win this trial. After another hour, you were once again covered in blood by the Black Mountain Bull, but at this moment, you reached the strength of eight dragons. Two hours later, you were pierced through by the horn of the Primordial Black Mountain Bull and sent into the sky. You were almost completely dead, but at this moment, you reached the strength of nine dragons!]
[Three hours later, you were covered in blood, your hair was dancing wildly, you were fighting madly, and your hands were continuously slashing at the Primordial Black Mountain Bull. Every punch had a world-shattering fist light appearing. Finally, at a certain moment, you completed the outlining of your heart rune, broke through to the strength of ten dragons, and hacked the Primordial Black Mountain Bull to death. At this moment, you were like a god or a demon, bathing in the blood of the Primordial Black Mountain Bull!]
[After you killed the Primordial Black Mountain Bull, your name on the stone tablet outside went from third place to second place, surpassing the Thirteenth Princess, which caused an uproar outside!]
