The Peerless War God!
That’s right!
Fu Tianxing chose to challenge the path of strength.
"That fool has brute strength but no adaptability. Failure is inevitable!" Fu Tianxing glanced in the direction Tian Meng was sent flying and cursed.
He had been secretly observing Tian Meng's assessment before.
Fortunately, Tian Meng's failure allowed Fu Tianxing to discover a clue.
He had contributed something, after all.
Fu Tianxing stood a hundred meters away from the formation, not advancing immediately. He stared directly at the center of the formation, a decisive gleam in his eyes.
He stood there for over a quarter of an hour.
Not moving an inch.
This scene completely bewildered everyone present.
"What is the Peerless War God doing? Why is he standing still?"
"I... I don't understand!"
"Is he building up his momentum?"
"Bro! Are you serious?"
"No... wait! Pay close attention, everyone. Observe the flow of true qi around the Peerless War God!"
"This... this is! He seems to be... gathering power!"
"Could it be..."
"..."
Among the crowd of onlookers, there were still quite a few experts who noticed Fu Tianxing slowly mobilizing the true qi within his body.
At this moment, if one looked closely, they would see that when light passed through Fu Tianxing's surroundings, it seemed to warp.
This phenomenon occurred because the area around Fu Tianxing was already filled with countless high-density strands of true qi.
These high-density strands of true qi were produced by his continuous compression.
Fu Tianxing was about to... go all out.
"Come... on!"
Fu Tianxing slowly bent down, his gaze fixed on the center of the formation. The high-density true qi around him slowly covered his skin and some of it injected into his feet.
He placed his hands on the ground, assuming a perfect sprinting posture.
All his strength had been gathered. Victory or defeat hinged on this moment.
At this point, everyone subconsciously clenched their fists, their hearts in their throats, all anticipating Fu Tianxing's "gathering strike."
*Boom!*
With a deafening explosion that shook the heavens, kicking up dozens of meters of dust, a vast pit appeared behind Fu Tianxing. His figure transformed into a swift arrow, shooting towards the center of the formation.
In an instant, Fu Tianxing reached the thirty-meter mark, and his speed began to decrease, but he still carried the momentum of his charge, unstoppable.
Twenty-five meters!
The next second, he broke Tian Meng's record.
Twenty meters!
Although his speed was rapidly diminishing, he was still moving forward.
Sixteen meters!
At this point, blood had begun to seep from the corners of Fu Tianxing's mouth. His pupils were filled with ferocity, yet his body continued to advance.
Fourteen meters!
"Ah!"
The pressure from the formation had caused Fu Tianxing's seven orifices to rupture, blood gushing forth, his body stained red. His disembodied roar allowed him to maintain his last shred of consciousness.
His steps did not falter!
Twelve meters!
*Bang bang bang!*
Fu Tianxing's last conscious thought was hearing the sound of his own blood vessels bursting. Most of his internal organs had been squeezed and deformed by the terrifying pressure before him.
At this moment, his retinas had been ruptured by the blood, and he had lost sight of his target.
The world!
Had gone dark!
This was the first time he had experienced the feeling of powerlessness.
"If I go any further, I will die!"
This was the answer his remaining sanity told him.
Two meters!
These short two meters had become an insurmountable chasm for him.
Those watching from the outside, seeing Fu Tianxing transformed into a bloodied figure, could hardly bear to look.
They could clearly see the blood being squeezed out of Fu Tianxing's body. The scene was gruesome.
"Give up! If this continues, the Peerless War God will truly die!"
"Alas! What's the point? Even if opportunities are good, one must be alive to seize them!"
"Only two meters left! This... forget it!"
"Now, let alone two meters, taking even one more step forward is a luxury!"
"..."
As blood continued to be squeezed out, Fu Tianxing could feel an intense urge to faint overwhelming his nerves. The pressure, like waves crashing upon him, did not allow his body to move forward even an inch.
Moving forward meant only death.
This... was his limit.
"Old man! Is this the strength you once faced?"
Fu Tianxing's hands hung limply. He... had done his best.
At this moment, he felt as if he could somewhat understand the hint of melancholy that flowed from his grandfather in the past.
"Even a War God... is nothing more than this!"
He let out a wry smile, closed his eyes heavily, abandoned all resistance, and awaited the fate of being repelled.
Half a minute later.
"Hmm?"
Fu Tianxing suddenly felt as if his body was bathed in warm sunlight, as gentle as a spring breeze. The sharp pain within his body was also gradually dissipating.
This feeling!
It was as if his body was being purified, all pain cleansed away.
"Wh... what is happening?"
Fu Tianxing suddenly opened his eyes. His retinas, which had been ruptured by blood, had also recovered.
But when he saw the scene before him, he froze.
Because, at this moment, he had already reached within ten meters of the formation.
Moreover, his body was truly bathed in a glow filled with life force, and his injuries were slowly healing.
All of this... felt like a dream.
"Congratulations! You have passed the assessment of strength!"
At this moment, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind.
"I... passed?"
Fu Tianxing murmured subconsciously.
He was clearly twelve meters away from the center of the formation before, so why, in the blink of an eye, had he... arrived here?
"What happened?"
This was his biggest question.
But no one could answer him.
"To the one who has passed the assessment, please prepare yourself! Next, you will witness a brand new world!"
The mechanical voice sounded again.
"Prepare myself? A brand new world?"
Hearing these words, Fu Tianxing was truly bewildered.
But before he could react, a white light suddenly flashed into his brow.
Immediately after, Fu Tianxing's body stiffened, and then he sat cross-legged in place motionlessly, as if he had lost consciousness.
...
"Let's go see how the other candidates are doing with their assessments?"
In a special space, a young man looked at Fu Tianxing, who had successfully passed the assessment, with a devilish smile before disappearing.
...
"Hmm?"
On a tall mountain in the core area of the Land of Heavenly Guardians, a woman dressed in plain white robes cast her gaze towards the easternmost side.
"You doing this is causing me some trouble!"
For some unknown reason, this woman appeared somewhat ethereal yet incredibly real. She was right before his eyes, yet infinitely distant.
What was even more baffling was that she stood there, but her face was utterly indistinguishable.
In fact, the moment you looked away, everything related to her would slowly dissipate from your mind.
It was as if you... could never etch her into your memory.
