How could this happen?
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
Previously, Li Cheng's momentum was extraordinary, and the vitality condensed on the black iron spear was terrifying enough to pierce stone and penetrate gold.
Let alone a stone tablet, even a piece of steel could be punctured, yet in the end, he didn't leave a mark on the marking stone?
This...
The onlookers were shocked, unable to believe what they were witnessing.
“No, it’s impossible?!”
Li Cheng was also in a daze, shaking his head in disbelief.
He couldn’t believe that with his strength, he was unable to even leave a trace.
But...
The results of the assessment would not change according to his will.
Buzz!
An invisible force descended, instantly teleporting the ashen-faced Li Cheng away.
“Next!”
Then, the black figure in the sky spoke indifferently.
The next chosen genius below, upon seeing this, clearly showed a hint of panic on his face.
Originally, he thought leaving a mark on the black stone tablet was a simple task, but now it seemed far from simple.
Adjusting his breathing, he gritted his teeth and charged into the range of the marking stone tablet.
Whoosh!
With a stomp of his legs on the ground, this person's gaze fixed intently on the marking stone tablet ahead, his true energy surged wildly, and he shot into the sky.
Everyone present fixed their eyes on him.
It was clear that because of Li Cheng's recent failure, this person’s spirit was highly concentrated, and his movements were exceptionally steady, making careful, calculated actions without any recklessness.
After a few breaths, he had already reached a height of ten meters.
“Go!”
His eyes gleamed sharply, and with a loud shout from his mouth, golden light shone from his iron fists, resembling a golden sun, condensing terrifying sunlight that struck fiercely against the black stone wall ahead.
“Boom!”
The golden sun collided with the black stone tablet, which seemed to contain an astonishing power that erupted suddenly, instantly rebuffing the golden sun and scattering golden fist winds across the sky, dissipating into nothingness.
On the pitch-black stone tablet, no trace was left; it was smooth and new.
“Not good!”
The person’s face turned ashen, filled with anger and horror, wanting to strike again, but a sudden force knocked him flying away.
“Failed, failed again.”
Everyone looked at the person who had fallen to the ground, their faces filled with disappointment, and the mood was incredibly heavy.
Especially for those genius participants in the assessment, feelings of suppression weighed heavily on their hearts as they frowned slightly.
Originally, they thought it would be very simple to leave a mark on the marking stone tablet, but the consecutive failures of the previous geniuses made them realize that this third round of assessment was not simple.
“What material is this black stone tablet made of? It’s so hard?”
“The previous three were at the peak of the Earth Level late stage, but in my Xuanzhou, they are not nameless figures; otherwise, they wouldn’t have passed the previous two rounds of assessment. Yet they couldn’t even leave a mark on the stone tablet?”
“Could it be that only true energy can leave a trace?”
The crowd was restless, especially those martial artists at the Earth Level late stage, whose faces turned ashen, feeling despondent.
The failure of the previous three instantly made them understand that leaving a mark with their Earth Level late stage cultivation was almost an impossible task.
“Hehe, it's good that the assessment is difficult; at least it can eliminate some pretenders.”
“If the cultivation is insufficient, no matter how brilliant they were before, they cannot escape being eliminated.”
“Hehe, without even reaching the Xuan Level, they think they can compete in this Ancient South capital arena? Ridiculous!”
Among the crowd, only the three top talents of the Di Tian class wore cold smiles, not taking this round of assessment seriously.
They prided themselves on being capable of leaving their names on the marking stone tablet, and even expected an astonishing performance.
