Chapter 509 - Leaving One’s Name Upon The Auxiliary Tablets

Gu Zuo looked over, and saw many familiar people.

First of all, there were those who attracted the most attention. For example, the Sun God Church’s Mu Yefeng, Flying Cloud Palace’s Gao Hongyu, Heavenly Saber Mountain’s Rong Dao, and Star Point Temple’s Tantai Lianxing. Their imposing auras were the most terrifying, but there were quite a few unfamiliar faces who were just as terrifying as them. Although, it couldn’t be said that there were none stronger than them either.

The qi emissions of Divine Flame City’s Huo Li, who had been miserably defeated by Gongyi Tianheng at that time, were even more powerful now. In addition, there were less talented prodigies like Qi Xuanao, Fan Meng, and Bao Hong. On top of that, familiar folks like Prince Zhou, the Third Prince of Zhao, and Young Master Xin were here as well...

Of course, Gu Zuo also caught sight of the Ice Phoenix Goddess, who had thoroughly disgusted him back then — That thief actually came to participate in the Prodigy Monument’s competition, too?

In short, it really was a grand event. The number of prodigies was uncountable, and the qi emissions were fierce and violent. It was certainly going to be a battle between giants.

Once Tianheng appeared, a dozen or so gazes promptly fell upon him.

After seeing Tianheng’s face clearly, these eyes were filled with a hint of surprise. Shortly thereafter, they became vigilant.

Gu Zuo inwardly thought: These prodigies probably think that big brother has practiced an unusual body cultivation method, right? As a result, they believe that big brother’s strength has risen dramatically, and they’re guarding against him. But this isn’t the case at all. On the contrary, big brother’s strength has been reduced somewhat because he’s only an incarnation...

On the other hand, Tianheng was calm and composed. His complexion was tranquil and serene as usual.

However, no matter how calm he appeared right now, his temperament was still strange. The blood patterns on his face were enough to spark restraining fears in many people’s hearts.

Gu Zuo stood beside Tianheng, and together with Huang Ji and the other Ten Ultimates Sect prodigies, they quietly waited on the other side of the Prodigy Monument.

When everyone was present, this great battle would officially begin!

Just as nearly an hour passed, the breaths of the numerous prodigies hitched. There was a type of sensation that was almost indiscernible, but once it burst forth, it would inevitably shatter the earth and alarm the heavens.

All of a sudden, a tall and dignified man with youthful appearances was standing at top of a mountain by the beach. Overlooking the scene below, he addressed the crowd of prodigies: “For the battles of the Prodigy Monument, those who can leave their names on the auxiliary tablets may take part in the arena fights. Otherwise, you will be eliminated!”

Once these words were uttered, three stone tablets rose up from the ground around the three-hundred-meter tall Prodigy Monument. Each stone tablet was also three hundred meters tall, and shone with faint rays of light.

That young man continued: “Ladies and gentlemen, you may carve your tablets!”

Following the situation, he reached out and pointed his finger. At the summits of those three stone tablets, the characters for “Immortal,” “Atomic,” and “Ascendant” emerged.

The crowd of prodigies immediately understood.

As it turned out, what they currently needed to do was to carve their identities on those stone tablets. If they couldn’t go up and carve anything, then they basically weren’t worthy of the title of prodigy and wouldn’t be able to join in this grand event, which only prodigies could participate!

Gu Zuo couldn’t help saying: “Could it be that they have to go up and write their own names?”

This time around, the ones who came over were Elder Liu, Huang Ji’s senior brothers, and several powerhouses who were garrisoned here. This wasn’t only for protection, but to continue serving the prodigies.

Seeing Gu Zuo’s puzzlement at this moment, Elder Liu explained for him: “It definitely isn’t to write anything down. Instead, the prodigies have to stand below those auxiliary tablets, leap upwards, and mark them with a palm print.”

Gu Zuo slightly nodded his head: “So it’s like this.”

Soon after, he saw that three prodigies walked out and arrived in front of the three stone tablets. As they leaped, their bodies lifted upwards!

However, at this time, Gu Zuo let out a sound of surprise.

Although pharmacists could only perform simple maneuvers in the air following the Xiantian Realm, he knew what normal martial artists could do. But now, the prodigies soaring beneath the stone tablets seemed to have barely raised their bodies to the level they should’ve reached &#k2014; When they suddenly fell down as if they had been struck by a large hammer!

How odd...

Yet, since the very beginning, Gu Zuo had felt that something wasn’t quite right. This was because, regardless of which realm, a martial artist capable of riding the winds absolutely wouldn’t be limited to three hundred meters when soaring through the air. Thus, wouldn’t the summit of a three-hundred-meter tall stone tablet be covered with all kinds of identities? Now that he thought about it, this was highly unlikely.

As such, there had to be a restriction.

Sure enough, Elder Liu dispelled his doubts again: “In front of the Immortal Stone Tablet, gravity is two times stronger than normal. In front of the Atomic Stone Tablet, gravity is ten times stronger. And in front of the Ascendant Stone Tablet, gravity is fifty time stronger.”

Naturally, this kind of restriction would make it easier to detect a martial artist’s true levels of achievement. After all, once one was in the air, the higher one flew, the more it took to resist gravity, making it even harder to endure.

Listening up to here, everyone understood things more clearly.

At this point, the performance records of the three prodigies who stood out first were also displayed.

The first one at the Immortal Stone Tablet climbed thirty meters.

The second one at the Atomic Stone Tablet climbed twenty-four meters.

The third one at the Ascendant Stone Tablet climbed fifteen meters.

After these three prodigies withdrew, their expressions all changed.

The highest they climbed on the three-hundred-meter tall stone tablets was no higher than thirty meters. How could they endure this kind of performance?

At once, the three people’s faces flushed and paled. They retreated into the crowd, and didn’t say anything.

Such an outcome didn’t only make these three prodigies ashamed and angry, it also caused the other prodigies to change their expressions.

Most of all were those who recognized the three prodigies. They repeatedly speculated on their own strengths. As for the ones who fought against the three prodigies, they also kept comparing themselves and making plans.

Gu Zuo was a little speechless: “These auxiliary tablets are actually so difficult to climb?”

Off to the side, Elder Liu said: “If they weren’t prodigy-level martial artists, they probably wouldn’t have been able to even place down their hand prints. To be capable of reaching twenty-four and thirty meters, these prodigies are already not considered the weakest.”

Gu Zuo shook his head: “I’m afraid that they don’t have the same way of thinking.”

Twenty-four meters and thirty meters... This only made these prodigies feel that they had lost an incredible amount of face.

The “pathfinding” of these three prodigies allowed the subsequent people to come up with certain ideas, and they acted more cautiously. They no longer hurried to take action. Rather, they adjusted their energies to improve themselves to their best states.

Immediately following which, another three people walked out. Their expressions were dignified, and the lights shining from their eyes were aimed straight at the auxiliary tablets!

The three utilized marvelous body techniques and abruptly moved towards the summits. Their breathing remained even, and it felt as though the bottoms of their feet were pushing against streams of air, allowing them to shoot up in an instant!

The first person made it to twenty-one meters, twenty-four meters...thirty-six meters...fifty-four meters!

The second person reached twenty-seven meters, thirty meters...fifty-four meters...sixty-nine meters!

As for the third person, they ultimately got to sixty meters!

Undoubtedly, the second batch of people had made sufficient preparations. Their achievements were much better than that of the first batch.

Once they landed, perhaps due to the contrast of the first batch, although each of them felt their results left much to be desired, they slowly relaxed their expressions and weren’t as aggrieved as the previous people.

Gu Zuo carefully observed and learned a few things.

It appeared that one still couldn’t rely solely on brute force to get through this thing.

After that, Gu Zuo turned his head, and looked at Tianheng: “Big brother, are you confident?”

Tianheng faintly nodded his head: “Actually, there’s no harm in riding the wind and soaring through the air. However, after these people fall down, their energy will be depleted. If I do the same, the changes in my figure will probably be seen through.”

Gu Zuo’s heart quivered.

Ah, this was a problem!

Indeed, it didn’t matter to other people, but once his big brother’s energy was used up, his entire body would become transparent! Before the main body returned, it would be better to not expose anything...

Not good. They had to think of a way.

Tianheng reached out and pressed on his shoulder. In a soft voice, Tianheng said: “Ah Zuo, don’t worry. Let me think of a solution.”

Gu Zuo silently nodded his head.

Fortunately, there was still some time to come up with something.

With one batch after another, prodigies of different realms went up to slap their hands on the auxiliary tablets and leave their “names.” As time passed, those with uncertain methods had no choice but to rush up.

In this way, several people were eliminated. But at the same time, some ridiculous things took place. One wouldn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Just before, a prodigy soared into the air. When he jumped to the highest point he could reach, his complexion suddenly turned deathly pale. After slapping his palm and barely leaving a palm print on the auxiliary tablet, he fell from a great height. He was going to drop straight to the ground right before everyone’s eyes! If he really fell down, not only would his muscles and bones suffer injuries, he would lose all face!

Luckily, he didn’t come alone. Instead, he was accompanied by several fellow disciples. Thus, someone swiftly went out to catch him, so that he didn’t lose too much face. But even though it was like this, it was embarrassing enough.

Upon seeing this, other prodigies hearts turned cold.

At once, they each made their own plans, wanting to think of ways to prevent this kind of thing from happening.

Afterwards, with the intelligence of these prodigies, they really thought of different methods.

For example, there were prodigies who purely used their own strength to precisely control their internal qi, leaving themselves only a trace to control the flow of air and smoothly descend. Merely, this would inevitably prevent those people from being able to exert their full strength. Thus, there might be some regrets in one’s heart.

As another example, there were prodigies who held a qi-replenishing medicinal pill in their mouths, and temporarily isolated it. After slapping out a palm print, they promptly swallowed the pill. The power of the medicinal pill would momentarily surge and couldn’t immediately restore their energy levels to their original states. However, it was still possible to provide a little energy to smoothly land.

At this time, Tianheng and Gu Zuo exchanged glances.

Gu Zuo smiled: “Big brother, there’s a way!”

Tianheng chuckled: “Ah Zuo is right.”

Indeed, there was a way. Just like those martial artists who swallowed qi-replenishing pills, Tianheng only needed to keep a Blood Poison Pill in his mouth. Afterwards, his body could be restored in a split second, and others wouldn’t notice any indication.

Gu Zuo and Tianheng’s thoughts were aligned, and both of them had this plan in mind.

Tianheng restrained his heart’s desires. He reached out to rub Gu Zuo’s earlobe, and slowly calmed down.

Following that, one prodigy after another obtained their own results. Gradually, Gu Zuo watched several acquaintances pass by.

First, it was that Third Prince of Zhao. Currently, he was an Atomic Realm martial artist. He extended a hand and left his identity at 117 meters on the stone tablet! Compared to the majority of people before, his achievement was a few points better.

As for Young Master Xin, he left his mark at 108 meters on the auxiliary tablet, so he was somewhat weaker than the Third Prince.

On the other hand, Prince Zhou went beyond the Third Prince’s expectations. In a short while, he reached 174 meters. Among the numerous prodigies who had already tested themselves, his performance could be considered a top score.

However, this top score didn’t last for too long.

This was due to what happened next. When Qi Xuanao and the others took action, most of them were between 150 and 180 meters. It could be said that, except for Prince Zhou, the other two people couldn’t compare at all.

Later on, it was Tantai Lianxing and the others. Among them, the one who marked the lowest reached 219 meters, and the highest reached 255 meters!

From this, one could see their talents.
