This time, even outsiders could see that Shao Chengxiong was trying his best. His eyes were solemn, his muscles were tense, and the movements he made with his hands seemed like he was walking on thin ice.
"I've failed twice in a row and I'm almost losing face. I can't fail this time, I absolutely can't fail!" He kept reminding himself in his heart.
Unfortunately, the more nervous and concerned you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes.
This time, before they had even completed half of their hand gestures, they saw a flash of light from the gate. Shao Chengxiong groaned and flew out again, rolling and crawling, somersaulting over a dozen times on the ground before he came to a stop.
Failed again, Shao Chengxiong failed again!
Once can be considered carelessness, twice maybe it can be considered carelessness, but three times, it is definitely not a matter of carelessness.
"What's going on with this Shao Chengxiong? Isn't it said that he joined the sect earlier than Lord Ye? Even Lord Ye has to call him senior brother. How can he be so despicable?" someone couldn't help but say.
"Who says that those who enter the sect early will definitely be stronger? Who tells you that senior brothers must be stronger than junior brothers? Haven't you heard that people learn things in different orders? There are so many people in this world who have a reputation for nothing, and there are even more rubbish senior brothers." Someone answered disdainfully.
"But I heard that he is not a martial arts fanatic?" The former still couldn't figure it out and continued to speak doubtfully.
"So what if he's a martial arts fanatic? Maybe he's just too obsessed with practicing and damaged his brain, so he can't do anything else except swordsmanship." The latter said disapprovingly.
"That's right, this is very likely." The man from before was no longer confused and said in agreement.
Although their voices were not loud, they inevitably reached Shao Chengxiong's ears. Shao Chengxiong was embarrassed and angry, and his face turned as red as a purple eggplant.
You have to know that he was much older than the other saints and had initiated earlier. Even if saints didn't follow this ranking system, there was no distinction between brothers and sisters. However, he was still very proud of this and didn't take those saints who initiated later than him seriously. Now that such a shameful thing had happened to him, and he was being looked down upon by outsiders, how could he put down his dignity?
"Even horses make mistakes, people stumble, and we'll try again." Afraid of hearing them say any unpleasant words again, Shao Chengxiong didn't bother to regulate his breathing. He turned over and rushed to the barrier again.
"Horses can stumble, and people can stumble too?" Everyone snickered when they heard his words.
Shao Chengxiong then realized his slip of the tongue. He had accidentally grown a pair of horseshoes. His face flushed red, blood practically dripping from it. He stopped talking and was the first to make a hand gesture.
"Senior Brother Shao, why don't you take a rest first?" Ye Lanxuan kindly handed over another pill.
"Don't you know my strength? How can such a little force hurt me? It's okay!" Shao Chengxiong knew that Ye Lanxun meant well, but he still felt greatly humiliated, and almost shouted.
"Oh." Ye Lanxuan responded, but did not take back the hand holding the pill. He wiped his nose with his hand and signaled to Shao Chengxiong.
Shao Chengxiong subconsciously wiped his hand and saw a bright red on the back of his hand. Then he discovered that two streams of blood were slowly flowing out of his nose.
"It's okay, it's just hot and I'm getting irritated. Let's hurry up and don't waste time dawdling." Shao Chengxiong wiped the blood from his nose nonchalantly and urged impatiently.
"Okay." Seeing that he insisted, Ye Lanxun and the others had no choice but to make hand gestures again.
This time, Shao Chengxiong was of course more focused, but due to his impatience and irritability, he had not made more than ten hand gestures when he heard a loud bang in his ears.
Then, he rolled out like a rolling gourd, with a buzzing sound in his ears and the sound of people laughing at him.
In fact, he had heard wrong. Seeing that he failed so quickly this time, everyone shook their heads secretly, knowing that he was ashamed and angry and in a state of restlessness. In this state, it was impossible for him to cooperate with Ye Lanxuan and others, let alone succeed, so no one laughed at him anymore.
But Shao Chengxiong was so shocked that he felt dizzy and had tinnitus. He felt that everyone was laughing at him, even the disciples of the Holy Court were no exception.
If there was a hole in the ground, Shao Chengxiong would have wanted to just crawl into it, but unfortunately there wasn't one. So, in order to save his last bit of face, he had to rush towards the barrier again.
"Miscalculated, try again!" He shouted as he rushed forward.
"Senior Brother Shao, your injury..." Wei Xiaotian kindly reminded him.
"I'm not hurt!" His words were like rubbing salt into the wound. Shao Chengxiong roared angrily, and his eyes looked like he wanted to kill someone.
Everyone was sweating profusely, their noses bleeding like fountains, yet they still claimed they were not injured. So what exactly does it take to be considered injured?
Seeing that Shao Chengxiong was completely enraged, the others naturally didn't dare to say a word or laugh at him. Ye Lanxuan and the others didn't know what to say either, and could only let him rush forward with his nose bleeding.
However, even though they had already rushed to his side, he did not stop and continued to rush forward.
Several people were completely unprepared, and he was so fast that they couldn't stop him.
"Senior Brother Shao, don't!" Seeing Shao Chengxiong rushing directly towards the cemetery in the barrier, Wei Xiaotian quickly reminded him.
"Wei Xiaotian, if you dare to say another word, I will turn against you...ah...ah..." Shao Chengxiong roared angrily, but before he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong.
I clearly saw their figures swaying in front of me, how come they suddenly disappeared? Instead, the tombstones appeared in front of me, getting closer and closer!
Oh no! Realizing that something was wrong, Shao Chengxiong quickly put his hands on his chest.
At this moment, destructive power poured towards him like a tidal wave or a volcanic eruption. Shao Chengxiong could only use all his strength to spread his energy throughout his body. A wave of water enveloped his body, like an indestructible shield.
Only then did everyone see Shao Chengxiong's true strength. Ye Lanxun was not just saying that he was a martial arts fanatic. The aura that instantly erupted from him could definitely be described as shaking the heavens and the earth. The invisible pressure spread out, making it almost impossible for everyone to breathe.
Almost everyone had an illusion at the same time that the person standing in front of them was not a person, but an insurmountable mountain that would still stand tall even after billions of years of wind and rain.
However, illusions are just illusions after all! Even if Shao Chengxiong is so powerful, how can he possibly rival the inheritance left by those ancient masters?
After a few screams, Shao Chengfeng flew out like a kite with a broken string. He was vomiting blood as he flew. It was obvious that his internal organs were injured, which was far from being as simple as a sore throat caused by the hot weather.
