Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 61 Challenge
Before heading to Sky City, Lan Tian wanted to test his strength and see if he had made any progress during this time. So he immediately went to the Mysterious Palace Secret Realm to challenge himself and see how much progress he could make today.
This time, Lan Tian was once again teleported to the twenty-fifth match. In this previous match, Lan Tian had been brutally defeated and killed by two powerful opponents. This time, Lan Tian was prepared. As soon as he arrived, Lan Tian summoned the Divine Sword of Light, ready to fight at any moment. Fighting two opponents at once was truly a challenge.

"boom"

The stone gate opened, and two beams of light flashed past. Without any warning, they attacked Lan Tian directly, flanking him from both sides, making it impossible to defend against. This time, Lan Tian was prepared. The Divine Sword of Light appeared, its golden light illuminating the entire palace. Upon seeing the sword, both Lan Tian and Lan Tian were stunned for a moment. It seemed they were still wary of the Divine Sword of Light. A divine weapon is a divine weapon; its oppressive aura made them hesitate at the best time to attack.

Lan Tian brandished the Divine Sword of Light with both hands, a powerful divine force enveloping the blade. With each swing, the power of the sword god surged and attacked one of the blades, the light and shadow vanishing in an instant.

With a loud "bang," parts scattered everywhere, a gruesome sight. This man was torn to pieces and died instantly. The sudden turn of events stunned the other, who stumbled back several steps. He hadn't even exerted any effort before dying so tragically—his strength had increased far too much!
But then, a miracle happened. The one who had died tragically reappeared on the field, seemingly stronger than before. What was going on? The twins had been resurrected, and with increased power. They were difficult to deal with. How was he going to get through this? Lan Tian thought to himself. It seemed he had to eliminate both of them simultaneously to pass this level. Otherwise, they would resurrect again, and it would never end, exhausting him to death here.

Just as Lan Tian was pondering a way to deal with it, the two attacked swiftly without the slightest hesitation.

"Whoosh, clang." Lan Tian didn't have time to think further; he immediately retaliated, blocking their attack. Weapons clashed, making a series of clanging sounds. Lan Tian didn't let them succeed, easily dealing with the situation.

Suddenly, the two launched a powerful attribute skill attack. The two forces merged into one and attacked Lan Tian directly. The room was filled with flickering light and shadow. Very good. Their attack together allowed Lan Tian to kill two birds with one stone and eliminate them at once, giving them no chance to regenerate.

With a "boom," Lan Tian unleashed the strongest attack of the Divine Sword of Light, gathering countless divine lights and amplifying his divine power. The oppressive aura made the entire palace tremble precariously.

With a thunderous roar, a golden light flashed, enveloping the entire palace in a white haze, obscuring everything.

The room reeked of blood, and the floor was covered in blood and bits of flesh. The two men had completely vanished, leaving only the stench of blood. Lan Tian emerged victorious and advanced to the next round.

With a resounding boom, the stone gate opened, and Lan Tian resolutely stepped inside to accept the challenge of the next level. With his divine sword drawn, he was invincible; the following levels were a piece of cake, easily defeated. He smoothly advanced to the fortieth level, where he faced a three-on-one situation—three different people against one Lan Tian, ​​a complete team effort against him!
The upcoming battle will be even more brutal, and he won't be able to handle it. He needs to be on his toes. There's one powerful flying warrior and two warriors with strong attack and defense skills. From the start, the three have a clear division of labor: the flying warrior attacks from the air, while the other two attack from the front and rear. They're a three-way attack from all sides. Lan Tian is already badly injured; the power of his divine sword is almost exhausted. He's also been seriously wounded throughout the battle, and his energy is almost completely depleted. Now, with three of them attacking simultaneously, Lan Tian is overwhelmed and constantly being injured by their aerial attacks. If this continues, Lan Tian will die here, which is not what he wants. Even if he dies, he wants these three to die with him. Lan Tian first uses all his strength to take down the flying warrior, dealing with the aerial attacks, and then focuses all his energy on dealing with the attacks from the two on the ground.

After a fierce battle, both sides were seriously injured, and Lan Tian was also on the verge of exhaustion. To defeat these two, he needed a single, decisive blow. Just as he was thinking this, they attacked, giving Lan Tian no chance to breathe; they too wanted to finish him off in one strike. The battle had entered a crucial, decisive moment; the slightest mishap could lead to death and defeat.

Lan Tian mobilized his remaining dark energy to form a defensive barrier around himself, preventing them from easily defeating him with a single blow. He then conjured an ice wall and a fire wall outside, creating three layers of defense. The blazing fire wall concealed everything within, keeping them unaware of what lay behind. Lan Tian then quietly flew out of his defensive barrier and arrived behind the two without them noticing.

Everything was ready, and it was time for this strike. Behind the two, Lan Tian quietly mobilized his remaining energy to gather it into an energy ball, concentrating all his power into the ball. This strike had to succeed; failure meant certain death.

"boom"

A massive energy surge struck, causing the entire palace to shake violently. The energy wave bounced back quickly from the wall, creating a second attack that obliterated everything. The two were completely pulverized, and Lan Tian also suffered a fatal blow, his body completely destroyed, his internal organs nowhere to be found! His mind went blank, he only knew that he had won, but he had no life left. They had all perished together, sacrificing themselves once again.

After being kicked out of the secret realm, Lan Tian returned to his room and rested for a full month before fully recovering. The battle was exceptionally intense, significantly improving his attributes and skills, greatly enhancing his attack power and proficiency. This allowed Lan Tian to comprehensively improve his combat strength, observation skills, endurance, and explosive power. This battle in the secret realm truly satisfied Lan Tian.

Through this experience, Lan Tian has gained a new understanding and insight into the Divine Sword of Light and the Divine Sword of Darkness. He's about to advance to the ninth rank! Lan Tian needs to prepare for the advancement; the ninth rank is extremely important and will consume a great deal of energy. He also needs to accumulate enough energy, otherwise, failure will cause him to regress to the seventh rank, a scenario Lan Tian doesn't want to experience. Therefore, he now needs to gradually increase his energy accumulation.

I've heard that Sky City is an excellent place for powerful individuals to advance their ranks, avoiding unnecessary trouble. It's a popular choice for many to do so, hence the abundance of powerful individuals, rich experience in advancement, and plentiful energy – a truly divine place. Lan Tian feels compelled to visit. He wants to see what wonders it holds and how it will aid his advancement. He also wants to meet some of the high-level experts there, challenge them, and see how strong he is.
