Jing Shaoyu appeared in a vast, unknown space, filled with rich spiritual and spatial energy, quite similar to the Spirit Ascension Platform of the Spirit Pagoda.
"Welcome to the Hall of Heroes. Initial trial, medium difficulty. Trial participant: Jing Shaoyu, age: ten years."
"Trial requirements: Stage one, survive for thirty seconds."
Jing Shaoyu looked surprised. Then, a figure appeared before him, a handsome and refined young man with deep blue hair and a lazy smile, immediately making Jing Shaoyu realize who he was.
"Begin!" The electronic voice sounded again.
The young man's eyes flashed with electric arcs, and a yellow Soul Ring rose beneath his feet. One of his arms was instantly covered with blue-purple dragon scales, and his palm transformed into a massive Dragon Claw, with tiny electric snakes coiling around his fingertips.
Seeing the young man's transformation, Jing Shaoyu thought to himself, As expected, it really is Tang Sect's Senior Brother, Bei Bei! Bei Bei's steps were illusory, and in a flash, he was already in front of Jing Shaoyu, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's Dragon Claw swinging towards his chest.
Jing Shaoyu's Martial Soul instantly manifested, and he lightly raised his hands, causing a surging wave of water to rush out, colliding with Bei Bei's descending Dragon Claw. The impact of the water wave immediately sent him flying backward. Bei Bei retreated dozens of steps before barely stabilizing himself.
Bei Bei's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his figure flickered again. His steps were swift and steady, and intense electricity crackled on his right arm, now transformed into a Dragon Claw. His first Soul Ring lit up, and he charged towards Jing Shaoyu with unmatched momentum.
Seeing this, Jing Shaoyu raised his hands again, waving them up and down. Then, several spheres of condensed flame flew out, the fireballs hot and explosive, intercepting Bei Bei.
The lightning-flashing Dragon Claw collided with the fireballs, creating a violent explosion and smoke. A figure shot straight out of the smoke, now with two Soul Rings behind him instead of one.
It turned out that just as the fireballs Jing Shaoyu released collided with Bei Bei's Dragon Claw, the electronic voice issued a reminder.
"Thirty seconds have passed. Stage one cleared."
"Stage two begins. Survive for thirty seconds, or defeat the hero's phantom."
Jing Shaoyu was naturally fearless. It's just Bei Bei, isn't it? It's not like I don't know him. Even if it were the real Bei Bei here, with his two-ring Great Soul Master level, he wouldn't be able to defeat him. He was very confident in this.
Bei Bei had already charged close to Jing Shaoyu again, the Dragon Claw, now larger than before, falling towards his chest once more. This time, it was faster, stronger, and the electric arcs and lightning swirling around the claw tips were even denser.
However, Jing Shaoyu didn't panic. He chuckled, and the Origin Wings behind him flapped suddenly, carrying his body into the air, easily dodging Bei Bei's Dragon Claw attack and creating a ten-meter distance between them.
Once in the air, Jing Shaoyu immediately counterattacked. The Crown of Nature behind his head emitted a shimmering green light, and then, two tough and agile azure willow branches flew out from it. These were the branches of the Azure Moon Willow.
The willow branches were very flexible, and their length extended infinitely under the Azure Moon Willow's control, easily growing to over ten meters, circling around behind Bei Bei, and launching a sneak attack.
Bei Bei immediately turned around, thrusting his Dragon Claw forward, instantly knocking away one willow branch, and then dodging the other with a light step.
Immediately afterward, he retreated dozens of steps, trying to find the extension limit of the two willow branches, but he retreated more than ten meters, and the two willow branches followed him like shadows, completely impossible to shake off.
Helpless, Bei Bei had to wave his Dragon Claw, and the sharp Dragon Claw easily cut off the tips of the two willow branches, but this seemed to be of no use, because the two willow branches didn't seem to care about the tips, or rather, the tips weren't important to them.
While Bei Bei was entangled with the two willow branches of the Azure Moon Willow, Jing Shaoyu directly released a big move. He raised his hands, opening them at a certain angle, palms facing each other, and a vermilion fireball slowly condensed. This fireball gathered all the fire elements in this space, like a small sun, and the temperature in the entire space began to rise, and the air became hot.
By the time Bei Bei's phantom noticed the anomaly, the diameter of the fireball had reached one meter. Jing Shaoyu's face was flushed, and the light in his eyes flickered. As his body leaned back slightly, and then leaned forward and down, this fireball, compressed and condensed by Jing Shaoyu, with an extremely high temperature, smashed straight towards Bei Bei's location.
The fireball landed and exploded instantly, and countless flames scattered in all directions. The entire space instantly turned into a scorching and restless sea of fire, white turning to red, and the temperature rising rapidly.
A look of horror flashed in Bei Bei's eyes, and before he could react, he was swallowed by the flames created by the fireball.
Wu Zhangkong, who had been paying attention to them from the outside, couldn't help but open his mouth when he noticed the situation on Jing Shaoyu's side, wanting to say something, but not knowing what to say. In the end, he could only close his mouth expressionlessly.
With a flash of light, Jing Shaoyu left that strange space.
As soon as he came out, he saw Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, two disheveled fellows. Tang Wulin was covered in bruises, as if he had been beaten severely, and Xie Xie was the same. Both of them had dark faces.
"What's with you guys? Did you get beat up?" Jing Shaoyu asked with a light smile. If he remembered correctly, Tang Wulin's opponent was Xiao Xiao, and Xie Xie's opponent was Jiang Nan Nan. Both of them were among the weaker members of the Shrek Seven Monsters from Huo Yuhao's generation.
"Yeah!" Xie Xie said, his face dark, nodding.
"Shaoyu, why are you completely unscathed?" Tang Wulin circled Jing Shaoyu, noticing that Jing Shaoyu was clean and tidy, and immediately cried out in grief, "So envious!"
"Hahaha!" Jing Shaoyu said with a chuckle, "Alright, stop shouting. Let me heal you guys. Both of you have black eyes and swollen faces; going out like this would be a huge embarrassment."
As he spoke, Jing Shaoyu activated his second Soul Skill, Healing Ripple. Gentle green light waves spread out, enveloping both Tang Wulin and Xie Xie. In the blink of an eye, all the injuries on their bodies were healed.
"Brother Xiaoyu, I want healing too!" At this moment, Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue also came out. Apart from looking a little pale, Gu Yue had no other abnormalities. Xu Xiaoyan, on the other hand, had several bruises on her arms, her little face looking miserable. Seeing Jing Shaoyu, she immediately pounced on him, crying with teary eyes, "It hurts so much!"
"Good girl, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt!" Jing Shaoyu had no choice but to hug her, comforting her while releasing Light of Healing to heal her. At the same time, he asked, "Our assessment should be almost over. My opponent was a blue-haired youth with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul. Xiao Yan, who was your opponent?"
"A violent woman with a hammer!" Xu Xiaoyan said with great resentment, pouting.
"Then how was your assessment? How many levels did you pass?" Jing Shaoyu had a good idea in his mind. Xu Xiaoyan's opponent was obviously Wang Dong'er. He continued to ask.
"Wuwuwu! Only passed one level." Xu Xiaoyan let out a wail.
Just as Jing Shaoyu was about to continue speaking, a white light enveloped the five of them again. When the white light disappeared, they found themselves in an office that was fully two hundred square meters in size. Wu Zhangkong was sitting behind the only desk in the office. In front of the desk were several white leather sofas.
"Sit!" Wu Zhangkong pointed to the sofa and said to the five of Jing Shaoyu.
Jing Shaoyu, Gu Yue, and Xu Xiaoyan sat on the multi-person sofa in the middle, while Xie Xie and Tang Wulin sat on the single sofas on either side. They all faced Wu Zhangkong, quietly waiting for Wu Zhangkong to speak.
"First, about today's exam." Wu Zhangkong stood up, walked out from behind the desk, and approached them, saying, "In the assessment, the opponents you encountered were all of the same realm. I can tell you clearly that these opponents, who have been included in the Hall of Heroes, are all Soul Masters who actually existed in history. Each one was a powerful Soul Master who amazed an era.
However, because they are simulated images, their strength is probably less than seventy percent of their true strength. What do you think, compared to them, how is your strength?"
Wu Zhangkong's words made Xu Xiaoyan, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie lower their heads unconsciously. They knew better than anyone how bad their performance was, but Jing Shaoyu and Gu Yue seemed indifferent, looking at Wu Zhangkong with calm eyes.
