Chapter 261 Dragon Dance Determines the Fate

call--

A large amount of black mist suddenly surged out from beneath the stone-carved gate with the number "41".

Wang Xi squinted, and even with his dynamic vision, he couldn't make out his opponent's exact appearance.

I only vaguely sensed that there was more than one opponent in this level.

He immediately activated his spiritual perception.

hum-

A three-dimensional image instantly formed in his mind, allowing him to clearly capture the eight figures flashing through the black mist.

Seven of them were shrouded in black robes, their sleeves gleaming with a cold light, seemingly wielding poisoned weapons such as short daggers or scimitars.

The last one was completely wrapped in bandages and held a golden scepter inlaid with jewels.

"The Seven Phase Assassins (Opposing/Title 4-Star)"

"Healing Archmage (Opponent/Title 4-Star)"

'This 41st level, is it facing eight opponents with four-star titles and no special abilities at the same time?'

Amidst the billowing black mist, Wang Xi stood rooted to the spot, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

'Judging from their appearance, the enemy is highly skilled in coordinated assassinations, and their teamwork must be extremely seamless... They also have a core character who acts as a 'healer,' providing buffs or healing effects.'

Just as Deputy Director Wei Zhengyang said, starting from level 40, another watershed moment occurs, with the difficulty increasing sharply.

But Wang Xi was not intimidated by the large number of opponents.

Bear!
A burning crown suddenly appeared above Wang Xi's head, and a white-incandescent cloak unfurled behind him. He soared into the air, standing dozens of meters above the ground.

"Annihilate the royal court..."

He raised his arm and spread his five fingers.

raging!!
A large white fire then broke out on the site, forming a circular area about 100 meters in diameter.

This is precisely due to one of the abilities of the "Crown of the End," which can continuously burn enemies within range and extract their life force and energy to nourish Wang Xi, the "King."

"Ho!"

"Hehe!!"

The black mist was enveloped by white flames, and the eight figures hidden within were instantly ignited, letting out painful roars.

They suddenly scattered, trying to burst out of the black mist and escape the range of the white flames.

But the next second, the movements of the eight figures became slow and sluggish, and invisible magical threads wove into a net, trapping them firmly in place.

——"The World of Looms (Branding)"

Wang Xi remained calm, his palm facing downwards, loosely clenched into a fist.

boom!
Boom! !
A series of explosions occurred in the sea of ​​fire, sending sparks flying and creating a deafening roar.

— "Adding fuel to the fire (branding)"

The eight figures were immediately severely injured and roared repeatedly.

The bandaged figure acted decisively, raising the golden scepter. The gem at its tip emitted a blinding light, and several beams of vibrant energy descended, attempting to heal himself and his companions.

However, the beam of light seemed to be just for show.

The flames continued to burn, and his injuries showed no signs of improvement.

—"The incurable brand"

"Hoo!!"

The bandaged archmage roared in shock and anger, raising his staff and pointing it at the figure in mid-air.

Shila-

A streak of crimson lightning shot out from the top of the scepter, heading straight for Wang Xi.

But the next instant, the lightning missed its target.

Wang Xi moved swiftly, disappearing into the ink marks and appearing on the other side.

The whole process was relaxed and enjoyable.

—"Fish swimming on inkstone (branding)"

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
The bandaged archmage continuously unleashed red lightning, while the other phase assassins also drew their crossbows and fired poisoned bolts into the air.

Wang Xi's figure flickered in mid-air, dodging all attacks flying from the ground without sustaining any damage.

At this time.

Visible wisps of white vapor were drawn from the bandaged archmage and the seven assassins and merged into Wang Xi's body.

After receiving a boost of vitality and energy, a smile appeared on his face.

From the start of the battle until now, Wang Xi's energy expenditure has been negligible. In contrast, the eight figures in the sea of ​​fire are charred and on the verge of death.

"It's time to finish."

Wang Xi seized an opportunity and clenched his fist again.

Boom! !

A series of explosions occurred in the sea of ​​fire, and all eight figures were burned to ashes by the snow flames.

The VIPs in the audience watched the entire battle.

"This young man has overcome all obstacles by either overwhelming his opponents head-on with sheer strength, or by having methods to counter his enemies..."

Mr. Zhu Yi analyzed with a smile.

"Take this battle for example. He faced eight formidable enemies at the same time, and not only was he unharmed, he also toyed with them. That's remarkable."

Zhang Yinglong laughed and said, "This kid is a jack-of-all-trades. It seems that ordinary human wave tactics are useless against him... It is foreseeable that he can easily deal with both 'King' type and 'Legion' type disasters."

Wei Zhengyang, Rosa, Zhao Yang, and others nodded in agreement.

For most "Taiko" and even "Disaster Hunters", they specialize in one area, but often end up with a "specialization".

Wang Xi's uniqueness lies in his ability to adapt to most combat situations, making him very versatile.

“Looking at him all the way through, I found that this young man has almost no weaknesses.”

Mr. Zhu Yi shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, the path of the dual system is not easy... Principal Zhang, Dean Rosa, his parents were outstanding researchers at the Maze Research Institute and made outstanding contributions to the country."

"This young man donated his parents' research findings, 'consciousness synchronization technology,' to the country free of charge, and it is currently in the experimental stage..."

"At Dongzhou University, they have also begun to produce controllable giant mechs. At that time, even an ordinary professional warrior, after relevant training, will be able to pilot a giant mech with the strength of a high-ranking three or four-star professional warrior. This will be a remarkable technological revolution that will greatly help the current situation."

"You all, don't mistreat him."

Upon hearing this, all the important figures looked surprised.

They had actually heard of "consciousness synchronization technology," but they never expected that this technology originated from Wang Xi.

A giant, controllable robot...

If mass production is implemented, the Federation will be able to possess a large number of mid-level combat forces in a short period of time, which will be highly effective in dealing with disasters, disaster zones, and mazes.

Calling him a "human hero" wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Zhang Yinglong nodded thoughtfully, then chuckled and said, "Mr. Zhu, please rest assured that we will spare no effort to cultivate such talented young people who are also contributing to the country."

...

...

Wang Xi's challenges continue.

As more and more levels are cleared, the difficulty increases steadily.

He encountered a formidable enemy at level 46.

That was a skeletal "lich" with a strength that reached the four-star level of the silver-framed title.

Liches can summon a massive number of skeletal golems and possess many deadly abilities such as corpse explosion, curses, and the Rot Field.

It took Wang Xi a great deal of effort to kill him.

From this point on, he finally showed signs of fatigue.

The important figures in the audience also noticed this and couldn't help but frown slightly.

They both hoped that the young man could continue to overcome difficulties and create miracles, and worried that he might encounter unexpected events in the challenges ahead.

Wang Xi's progress in the levels has slowed down.

The time spent going from level 46 to level 49 exceeded the total time spent on all previous levels combined.

Fortunately, he eventually made it to level 50.

"The younger generation is truly formidable..."

Deputy Director Wei Zhengyang couldn't help but sigh.

"From this level onwards, it falls into the realm that only top-tier 'Grandmasters' can reach."

At this moment, Zhang Yinglong thought for a moment and said softly:
“If he can get through this hurdle, I will personally go to ‘Weitai’ to apply for this year’s Kunwu Camp Purple Card quota for him.”

Everyone was taken aback.

As a federal talent training camp, Kunwu Camp naturally enjoys special privileges. However, these "purple card slots" are extremely valuable, available only three times a year.

"Weitai" controls the allocation of resources across the Nine Provinces, and the purple cards obtained from it are not ordinary purple cards.

At the very least, they are all of "Huazhang" quality.

As is customary, Kunwu Camp will select the most suitable purple card for each talented student based on their specific circumstances.

In the past, students who received such awards and honors have all achieved considerable success after graduation.

Among them are many who become "Disaster Hunters," fighting disasters on the front lines, or holding high positions within the Nine Provinces, patrolling disaster-stricken areas; all are renowned figures on the "List of Mountains and Seas."

This shows that Wang Xi's performance earned Zhang Yinglong's approval.

Ms. Rosa looked at the young man in the arena, a smile playing on her lips, her eyes filled with anticipation.

...

...

Bang! !

The gate opened once again.

"Level 50..."

Wang Xi let out a long breath and stared ahead.

A person slowly walked out from inside.

pat, pat...

The sound of straw sandals treading on the ground could be heard.

This was a handsome man in his thirties with Western features.

He had short, curly blond hair, a wheatish complexion, deep-set features, and a calm expression. He wore only simple leather armor, revealing perfectly defined muscles.

She looks just like a model.

The man held an ornate trident in his right hand and a small silver round shield in his left.

The trident's blade is decorated with three slender, curved snakes. The round shield, on the other hand, features a relief of a woman's face, etched with pain.

"Gladiator Champion, Divine Mortal Gamir (Opponent/Title 4-Star/Legendary)"

The gleaming gold frame of the entry was quite eye-catching, revealing the person's extraordinary nature.

A truly formidable foe!
"Young man, the fact that you've come this far proves that you are also an excellent soldier."

The man named Gamir actually spoke.

He was speaking an ancient language.

Swah——

The man swung his trident at Wang Xi: "Let your blood add another layer of glory to this battle."

Bang! !

He stomped his foot, and his entire body flashed in front of Wang Xi as if by teleportation, his speed unbelievable. Whoosh—

The trident moved with lightning speed, piercing towards Wang Xi.

There was a loud bang.

The ice mirror that Wang Xi hastily conjured was pierced by a single blow and exploded into dust.

Bear!
Ice crystal fragments transformed into snow flames, engulfing Gamir. However, the blond man remained unfazed, simply swinging his left arm.

Bang! !
The small silver shield emitted a blinding light, deflecting the snow flames and scattering a fan-shaped arc of fire across the ground.

Wang Xi took the opportunity to escape and walk over 100 meters.

He looked up and saw that the man was not chasing him, but was slowly walking towards him, holding a halberd and shield.

This person may look very ordinary, but he gives off a strong sense of pressure.

In their first encounter, Wang Xi suffered a loss.

'It's time to play our trump card...'

Wang Xi knew that ordinary methods would probably not work on this guy, so he made up his mind.

His eyes narrowed, and he took a deep breath.

His magical power poured out, causing his clothes and hair to move without wind, and his entire being exuded a terrifying aura.

"Foreign Minister!"

In the blink of an eye, Wang Xi formed more than a dozen hand seals.

Behind him, a pitch-black figure eight feet tall rose from the ground!

Xuanlong Zhenren!

The figure, dressed in fine robes and wearing a crown, holds a book and a pen, resembling a judge who controls life and death.

A black dragon on the left and a jade python on the right, one black and one white, wrapped around his arms like divine ribbons.

"Hmm?" In the audience, Dean Zhao Yang of the Plum Blossom Academy exclaimed in surprise. "So this is the kid's true strength! I knew his appearance was extraordinary!"

Zhang Yinglong gazed down and murmured, "This level of energy fluctuation... is enough to rank it in the top 100 of the 'Mountain and Sea Register'."

He and his junior brother Zhao Yang were both experts in the Xuanmiao system, so they were naturally better able to see the power of Wang Xi's appearance.

"One stroke can depict mountains and rivers, another can decide life and death."

The eight-foot-tall Dharma Image spoke words of wisdom, his voice powerful and resonant, echoing throughout the hall, as he drew a stroke with his brush.

bass--

The ink-black trail, several meters long, resembled a sword beam, slashing downwards towards Gamir.

The blond man frowned slightly, wanting to dodge, but found that invisible energy threads were all around him.

He immediately raised the small silver round shield.

The female relief on the shield suddenly opened its eyes and screamed, "Ah—"

when! ! !
The ink-stained sword light landed on the round shield, but was bounced into the air and disappeared into the horizon.

However, the aftershocks scratched hundreds of fine marks on the stone slabs around Gamir, making a crackling sound.

Gamir bent over slightly, his body taut like a drawn bow, and suddenly threw the trident in his hand.

scoff-

The trident transformed into a golden lightning bolt, flying straight toward the head of the Xuanlong Zhenren's dharma image.

"Unmoved by the universe."

Wang Xi once again counted the numbers on his fingers and recited the incantation.

With a flick of his left hand, Faxiang unleashed a black dragon over ten meters long, which coiled around him like a dragon.

Boom! !
The golden lightning struck it, arcing outwards, but most of its power was diverted.

— "Ink Heaven Seal (Branding)" "Capturing Heaven and Earth (Branding)"

With the two defensive marks reinforced, the Ink Dragon managed to block Gamir's killing move.

In a flash, Wang Xi raised his sword finger and placed it between his eyebrows.

The image of Xuanlong Zhenren shows his right arm raised high.

The jade python coiled upwards and, before everyone's eyes, transformed into a white jade sword.

Ding!
——"Jade Condensation Edge (Brand)"

Wang Xi then pointed his sword forward.

The avatar of the Mysterious Dragon Immortal, wielding a white jade sword, brought down a thunderous strike—

bass! ! !
The terrifying white sword light stretched for hundreds of meters, cascading down like a waterfall from the heavens.

boom! boom! boom!
The entire arena trembled.

A long furrow was plowed into the ground.

Gamir, holding a silver shield, curled up in a ball, was pushed to the edge of the arena by the terrifying sword light and crashed into the high wall.

Boom! !
A spiderweb-like pit, tens of meters in diameter, appeared on the high wall. Gamir coughed up blood and fell to the ground.

Wow!
In the stands, the phantom "spectators" screamed hysterically and waved their fists incessantly.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!!"

Gamir stood up again, his gaze intense, looking up at the enormous, pitch-black Dharma image.

He turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood, then grinned a bloodthirsty and ferocious smile.

"That's exhilarating! Let's fight!!"

Gamir roared to the sky.

There was a boom.

A beam of golden light descended and enveloped it.

His skin instantly turned golden, and his eyes shone brightly. The phantom of dragon wings appeared behind him, and his aura surged ever higher.

Wang Xi instantly detected this ability of the other party through Caius—

Its name is "A God Descending to Earth"!
call out--

An airburst sound rang out.

Gamir streaked across the sky in a golden arc, arriving before the Xuanlong Dharma Image in the blink of an eye, his trident crackling with electricity crashing down.

Ding ding ding ding!!

The trident clashed with the white jade sword, producing a deafening roar.

Shockwaves and sparks flew.

The two sides fought fiercely.

Suddenly, Gamir turned around, and a phantom of a dragon tail, several meters long, appeared on his back, slamming heavily onto the white jade sword and deflecting it.

Clang! !

Immediately afterwards, Gamir, wielding a trident, descended from the sky, trailing a long, fiery tail.

She was as dazzling as a shooting star!
"Hmm?" Wang Xi's pupils contracted slightly.

"A stroke of good fortune (brand)" is a frantic warning.

The black dragon circled again, transforming into a defensive formation.

However, the golden meteor was too fast and too sharp, and it actually pierced through the black dragon—

Wow!

The "ice coffin" rose from the ground.

A golden meteor struck it.

Bang! !

The "ice coffin" shattered!
The golden meteor ultimately struck the center of the forehead of the Xuanlong Zhenren's dharma image.

when! !

—"Bronze head and iron tail"!
Even so, a crack appeared between the eyebrows of the Buddha.

'He broke through three of my defenses in a row! This guy is insanely strong!'

Wang Xi was deeply shocked.

This was the first time he had encountered such a powerful enemy.

His expression turned serious.

Immediately unleash all the remaining magical power within your body.

Then, make a hand seal with both hands and suddenly raise them together.

"Not of earthly color, but all movements are ancient sounds..."

In an instant, the sky darkened.

A dark cloud condensed into a vortex, accompanied by lightning and thunder.

—Dragon Dance!
Wang Xi unleashed the hidden "ultimate move" of "Myriad Manifestations of the Universe," merging the six realms into one.

This trump card has been used up at a great cost. If he cannot turn the tide in one fell swoop, then he will have no choice but to leave the field temporarily to end this challenge.

"hold head high!!!"

A deafening dragon roar descended from the sky.

Click!

Lightning streaks across the sky.

A hundred-meter-long black dragon emerged from the clouds, its long whiskers flowing, exuding a majestic aura.

Those dragon whiskers were actually composed of countless threads of magical energy.

This is a dragon in calligraphy and painting, its entire body in the color of ink wash.

Beneath its body are seven blood-red pillars covered with auspicious cloud reliefs, which support it and create a winding posture as the pillars are raised and lowered.

In the audience, important figures such as Zhang Yinglong suddenly stood up and looked up at this unusual scene.

"Dragon Dance Path?!"

Dean Zhao Yang of Meihua Academy stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

"Senior brother, this kid actually knows the 'Dragon Dance' magic just like you!"

Zhang Yinglong was also taken aback.

This was completely beyond his expectations.

"—After a thousand years of dormancy, thunder roars, and the mountains and rivers are transformed into a new era."

Wang Xi closed his eyes and began to chant.

He withdrew both hands, his left hand supporting his right, and his right hand's sword-like fingers emitted a faint starlight.

"The Sword Prison of Awakening Insects!"

The black dragon roared down and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Wow…

A torrential downpour began.

And every drop of rain is a sword's edge!
Gamir froze on the spot.

In the end, he had no choice but to close the dragon wing phantom and raise the small silver round shield to save his life.

But the rain was too heavy and quickly submerged it...
