Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 69 Unprecedented

An elderly man with gray hair suddenly appeared in the scene, his long, loose hair hanging down to his waist.

He was like a piece of dead wood, devoid of any vitality, more like a dead person than a living one.

Mr. and Mrs. Li Yao quickly stepped forward to greet him, and he silently nodded.

His eyes were dark and unfocused, staring intently at Jia Yi in the distance.

Although it was in virtual space, he was so famous that many people knew he had the ability to challenge for the position of "Fifth Councilor".

Immediately, many people noticed that the way he was looking at Jia Yi was strange.

Although these two people don't usually have any disputes, they always subconsciously try to avoid seeing each other in public.

But today, such a big thing happened.

Their eyes finally met, inevitably!

Jia Yi was short in stature and less imposing than Yan Hai.

However, he was surrounded by a large and powerful group of people, not only disciples of Mount Hua, but also almost half of the war gods of Chinese nationality, who subconsciously swarmed around him.

In stark contrast to Yan Hai, who was accompanied only by Li Yao and his wife.

More importantly, today's absolute protagonist, Bai Yang, was discovered by him!

Everyone knows about this, and many people even discussed it privately back then.

What exactly did Jia Yi use to win over this young man?

He's so old, why does he still value geniuses?

Is he getting senile?

But today's events prove one thing!

He is right!

Only the most core group of people within Mount Hua knew the immense rewards Bai Yang had brought them!

The two stared at each other intently, and the atmosphere became heavy.

It was only then that many people realized for the first time that the two clearly had a very bad relationship.

"Hey, Jia Lao, Yan Hai. What's wrong with you two?"

Suddenly, a cheerful voice rang out.

Thor!

Everyone turned around at the same time, and he was online too!

Sure enough, Thor was standing in front of the Speaker's table in the hall, wearing a white robe.

He looked at everyone with a smile, appearing completely unaware.

The two of them quickly looked away, pretending not to see each other, and greeted Thor.

Thor smiled and thanked him, then said, "It's been a long time since everyone's here. It seems you're all quite interested in this Bai Yang."

Just then, another figure appeared in front of the speaker's table.

1.9 meters tall, black trousers, black jacket, and a neat buzz cut...

flood!

He was even alarmed!

It felt like a tsunami had been stirred up in everyone's hearts!

Hong and Thor, these two "Gods of War" who far surpass everyone else, actually went online for the same person by coincidence!

How long has it been since something like this happened?

It seems like... it's never happened before?

Thor grinned, as he and Hong were always used to being casual, and said directly, "Big brother, don't keep us in suspense."

What's the point of making everyone wait here? Why don't you turn on the screen so everyone can see it?

I'd also like to see how this little guy fights.

Upon hearing this, everyone cheered inwardly!

What's the point of just waiting outside like this?

Wouldn't it be better to see Bai Yang's actual performance?

Most war gods never even see what the fourth level looks like in their entire lives, so today they have the opportunity to take a look.

This trip was definitely worthwhile.

But no one dared to say such things; only Thor dared to speak so casually with Hong.

Hong looked at the expressions of the war gods around him and understood their intentions, so he said, "Alright."

As soon as he finished speaking, the screen in the hall immediately changed its appearance.

The appearance of the fourth floor of the Trial Tower is clearly shown.

The war gods, each with astonishing eyesight, subconsciously took a half-step forward, wanting to see more details.

In the center of the image is a young man holding a long sword, who is none other than Bai Yang.

When the many war gods saw the scene on the fourth floor, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise!

"Water area!"

"Is this the seabed?"

"How is this possible!"

"No wonder only members of parliament can pass it."

Bai Yang is currently underwater, fighting a dragon turtle!

That's right, although there's only one, it's a low-level lord!

A colossal creature with a shell diameter of one hundred meters—the Dragon Turtle!

Real adult dragon turtles are king-level monsters; this one is probably just a cub.

But this is in the sea!

This body is still a novice warrior!

Generally speaking, only planetary-level powerhouses can ignore the issues of breathing and water pressure.

In this environment, the survival of a novice warrior is an enormous challenge.

They had to carry out their kills while enduring tremendous water pressure before their lungs ran out of air.

The so-called 60-minute time limit is meaningless to them.

Bai Yang was almost helpless against monsters of this size.

The longsword in his hand was no different from a toothpick when facing a monster of this size.

Many war gods who entered the fourth level and died instantly wanted to see what he would do.

Bai Yang was also feeling anxious at this moment, although he was unaware that he was being "live-streamed".

But from the moment he entered the fourth level, he knew this level would be very difficult.

He took a deep breath the instant the five-minute preparation period ended.

That amount of oxygen is enough for him to survive quietly for more than ten minutes.

But the premise is that you can't engage in strenuous activity!

And under these circumstances, he still has to fight!

At this point, more than two minutes had passed since he entered the fourth floor.

The giant dragon turtle had already launched several attacks on him.

The reason he survived was thanks to the giant size of the dragon turtle.

The warriors in the hall also pointed and commented on his actions.

"Is this Tai Chi?"

"No! It must be some kind of special boxing technique."

"His movements were very subtle, almost like he was floating in the water, completely adapting to the flow of the water to dodge."

"This dragon turtle is enormous! Every time it charges forward, it pushes aside the surrounding water. Bai Yang, however, uses this force to his advantage and avoids it by a great distance!"

"His body can withstand water pressure while simultaneously sensing the direction of the water flow? Can he possibly exert force in different directions with each muscle?"

"This is a technique for multiplying physical defense! Someone can actually do it!"

"My God! I always thought this was only theoretically possible, that only strength and speed could work!"

Seeing this, not only all the war gods, but even many planetary-level councilors were speechless with astonishment.

This was something they could never have imagined; it was truly a miraculous skill!

Hong suddenly glanced at Thor, who chuckled and said frankly:

"Brother, my title of 'Ninefold Thunder Blade,' the best in the world in terms of power generation, can indeed be relinquished."

Hong was very pleased with his second brother's pure heart and carefree state of mind.

This will definitely allow him to go further, and he won't be far from mastering the domain.

Bai Yang knew that he couldn't keep going like this, just taking the beatings without fighting back.

How did those ordinary Earth councilors get through this before?

He really didn't believe it!
