The Portal of Wonderland - Chapter 525

Chapter 525: 525

In the face of the thunderous attacks launched by Shangguan Xin, Zhao Ji’s expression remained unchanged . With a wave of his hand, a purple ax appeared in his grasp . It was the same weapon he had used during the trials .

He silently chanted a spell as he threw the ax .

The ax suddenly enlarged and turned into a burning flame, rushing into the sky like a purple sun .

Zhao Ji waved his hands and a magical rune appeared .

The purple sun flashed, turning into a purple phantom dragon which was twenty or thirty feet wide . It immediately rushed towards the two black hurricanes that came face to face with it .

Upon seeing the dragon, Shangguan Xin’s brows wrinkled slightly . He waved his hand and the two black hurricanes merged into one, as big as the other two combined .

A clash of thunder rumbled through the air!

The phantom dragon rammed into the black hurricane, and both of them seemed to get entangled . In the fierce collision of the purple and black light, the entire platform and the glowing blue barrier trembled .

Shangguan Xin was furious when he saw this . He quickly placed his hands together to increase the rotating speed of the black hurricane . It seemed that he intended to shatter the phantom dragon as metallic grinding sounds could be heard .

Nevertheless, in the next moment, the purple dragon grew and continued rushing forward .

It roared again and again!

With the purple dragon and the black hurricane at a stalemate, they suddenly dissipated and turned back into their original forms, the ax, and the twin sledgehammers . All of them flew back into Zhao Ji and Shangguan Xin’s hands .

Shangguan Xin’s face was motionless . He could not believe that a newcomer disciple like Zhao Ji possessed power equal to his own .

He immediately brought the black glow on his body to its peak . He unleashed the full power of his Xiantian-level strength . His momentum was strong and he was undoubtedly close to reaching the next level .

People near the platform had their eyes locked on Shangguan Xin and were quite amazed .

“The ninth disciple is only one step away from the middle stage of Xiantian level!” Shi Mu was shocked as he turned and looked toward Long Zhanye .

Above the ring, Zhao Ji held his purple ax and looked at Shangguan Xin, wrapped in black light . His facial expression remained unbothered and his eyes were as calm as ever .

Shangguan Xin looked at Zhao’s gaze and spat blood essences from his mouth onto his hammer while chanting a spell . The two hammers he held began to radiate red and black light . With a single flash, they merged into one .

The red and black glare from the sledgehammer and the pressure doubled in intensity .

“Charge!” Shangguan Xin roared and the red-black hammer went toward Zhao Ji .

The sound of the thunder bursting out of the sledgehammer was astonishing, causing the space to tremble .

Zhao Ji was taken aback and quickly cast a spell as his sleeves shook slightly .

Once again, the purple ax glowed with violet light, floated out of his hand, and turned into the phantom dragon . The two giant claws of the purple dragon unleashed in time to block the blow of the sledgehammer .

Suddenly, a loud echo shook the sky!

When the purple phantom dragon came into contact with the red-black sledgehammer, it was struck by an invisible force and turned away . It rolled and flew downward as its light faded . It was clearly unable to withstand it .

The red-black sledgehammer jerked slightly but continued towards Zhao Ji . Zhao Ji’s face looked like he had sunk into a deep blue ocean . His eyes had filled with a glaring blue light as he looked at Shangguan Xin .

Two dazzling blue lights suddenly flew out of his eyes and there was a flash around Shangguan Xin . It seemed like space itself was rippling .

Shi Mu’s eyes flashed as he caught on to the technique . Zhao Ji had used this particular method back in the trials . He almost got caught in it back then!

“Art Of Time Entrapment!”

Shangguan Xin was stunned . Before he could react or escape, a circle of invisible ripples had enveloped the space around him .

Shangguan Xin felt an invisible pressure suddenly coming from all directions . His body was stiff, and he could not move at all, like a bug trapped in a corner .

The giant hammer seemed to be caught by the same effect as well . It had been flying toward Zhao Ji, only to be stopped in midair .

There was a smirk in the corner of Zhao Ji’s mouth . With a wave of both hands, the sky flashed and countless white strings emerged, wrapping themselves around Shangguan Xin .

The black light on Shangguan Xin’s body spread rapidly . The light on the hammer flashed and the invisible fluctuations around it were shattered .

“That’s good but unfortunately it’s too late!”

Zhao Ji snorted and his hands trembled . The white silk around him made Shangguan Xin into a human cocoon, encasing the red-black hammer as well .

Though Shangguan Xin roared in anger as he tried to struggle out of the cocoon, it was no use .

Suddenly, a figure flashed and Zhao appeared behind Shangguan Xin . His entire left hand suddenly gave off a glaring ray of white light .

At the left end of the ring, Shi Mu’s eyes were fixed on Zhao Ji’s left arm . Though his face seemed calm, his heart was anxious like a storm brewing .

This was the first time he witnessed someone other than him using the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art . Seeing it up close, Shi Mu was certain that this was the first phase of the art, the power of the sun!

As he pondered, Zhao Ji landed a fist on Shangguan Xin .

The white cocoon ruptured as Shangguan Xin’s figure flew out of it and fell roughly on the lower platform . Blood spurted from his mouth, and his arms were bent at a strange angle .

At the last moment, he used his remaining strength to block the attack with his arms .

The giant red-black hammer also fell to the ground, changing back into the two black sledgehammers with a flash . Its blood-red light had faded .

Shangguan Xin tried to resist the pain as he struggled to stand on his two feet .

Zhao Ji’s eyes were cold and his left hand was still flashing white . It seemed that he had the urge to go again .

Suddenly, the red-browed youth appeared in midair in front of Zhao Ji .

“The outcome has been decided . Stop now!”

Zhao Ji’s eyes flashed and the white light on his arms dissipated .

“Zhao Ji won this round against Shangguan Xin and will now replace him as the ninth-placed disciple,” the red-browed youth announced to the audience .

Under the ring, there was a burst of cheers, and those on the challenger side also showed their excitement .

Finally, someone had won the challenge and reached the top ten!

Zhao Ji immediately turned around and jumped down from the ring, taking Shangguan Xin’s place . Shangguan Xin could only watch with anger from a distance .

The other disciples did not share the crowd’s sentiments, especially those who initially wanted to follow Shangguan Xin’s lead and face the new disciples . Their expressions had turned awkward .

The remaining top ten disciples all focused their eyes on Zhao Ji .

In his recent battles, Zhao Ji had obviously not given it all he had, but this was less certain .

Standing on the far left, Long Zhanye looked at Zhao Ji as his eyes flashed with golden light . After a while, he looked away .

After Long Zhanye won his battle, he had given others the confidence they needed . Before the red-browed youth could even speak, another person instantly jumped into the ring . It was a century-old disciple who wished to challenge a lower-ranked disciple .

This man had some skill, but unfortunately, the other disciples were much stronger . In the end, the century-old disciple was defeated .

Although he was defeated, he was not on the same level as someone like Qing Zhangtian . As soon as the battle ended, another new challenger appeared on stage .

Little by little, half a day passed by .

Seven to eight challengers came and went from the stage . Aside from Zhao Ji, all of the other challengers were defeated .

Those who lost did not go back to the platform but went under the ring instead .

Shi Mu silently stood in the crowd and he had no intention of going up to the stage .

“Brother Shi, are you not going to challenge anyone?” asked a voice from the side .

Shi Mu turned around to look at who was speaking and realized the people that had been at his sides were all gone . There was only the figure of a pale girl on his left . It was none other than Jiang Shuishui . Shi Mu had focused all of his attention on the battle, so he had not noticed her presence .

“What about you? Aren’t you challenging anyone either? With the power you possess, you might stand a chance,” Shi Mu asked .

Jiang Shuishui chuckled . ”Oh, you sure have a lot of confidence in me . With my strength, I don’t think I can even compete with brother Shi Mu . ”

“There is no need to be modest . You showed great skill during the trials . Even those who are at Xiantian level wouldn’t be able to take you on easily,” Shi Mu said as he recalled another disciple with the same surname .

Since they shared the same surname, did it mean that the techniques they were using were the same? They could have been of the same race . Maybe there was a connection between both of them?

As Shi Mu was still deep in his thoughts, a wave of invisible fluctuations suddenly struck him .

Shi Mu’s body was stiff and his eyes were blurry .

The Holy Land of Qinglan was filled with a green light . A white palace was suspended in mid-air .

A loud sound came from the palace and the whole space shook .

A figure shrouded in blue light appeared in the sky above the palace . He could not see who it was clearly .

His fingers were gesturing as if he was calculating something . After a while, he shook his head in disappointment .

“Brother Shi Mu, what happened to you?” asked Jiang Shuishui . She had a puzzled look as she stared at Shi Mu .

Shi Mu’s eyes focused as he took a deep breath to calm his mind . He shook his head to say that he was alright and that there was nothing to worry about .

His heart was racing, and he was unsure of the vision he just saw .

He did not know what had just happened . It seemed like he was in a dream, but as soon as he woke up, he did not seem to remember anything .

He calmed himself and delved into his spirit sense to take a closer look at the Heaven Rouser .

The staff was still quietly lying there, unchanged .

Jiang Shuishui looked at Shi Mu for a while longer and nodded .

“That’s good . While you were in a daze, you missed out on a wonderful battle . ”

“What?” Shi Mu asked in disbelief .
