Chapter 605 The Earth Dragon King's Test.
"Playing with you? I'm not."
The Earth Dragon King looked at Xuan Mo's disheveled appearance, a faint smile flashing across his face. Then, with a wave of his hand, the area was instantly enveloped by a brown barrier.
"But I'll be frank with you. Seeing and touching anything inside the main hall is my test for you."
With that, his figure vanished.
Xuan Mo and Mu Lin were left behind within the barrier.
"Just like that, you abandoned us?"
Hearing Mu Lin's words, Xuan Mo shook his head, ignoring him, and turned his gaze back to the "main hall."
A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
"Brother Mo, what's wrong?"
Mu Lin, seeing no response, turned to Xuan Mo. Seeing him staring at the main hall, he approached and asked.
"By the way, what happened just now?"
"The things placed in the main hall seem to have their own force field." Xuan Mo stroked his chin. "First, I was directly crushed by the force field it emitted, and then it felt like I was hit by a very elastic wall. The force of the impact bounced back exactly as much as it had. Caught off guard, I had no way to resist."
"Is that so?"
Mu Lin's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this. Then, without saying a word, he raised his soul guide arm. After a period of adaptation, although he still couldn't use his martial soul and soul skills, the small amount of soul power was not a big problem.
So, a light bullet gathered in the palm of his soul guide arm.
Immediately afterwards, a light bullet was already blasted forward.
Then, the scene they expected occurred. The light bullet that Mu Lin fired was slammed hard into the ground. The two of them only saw a faint nine-colored soul power fluctuation flash, and then the light bullet that was pressed to the ground bounced up like lightning and rebounded back, even faster than when Mu Lin fired it.
Mu Lin seemed to have anticipated this situation, unleashing a punch with his soul-guided arm. The soul power struck the air, creating a sonic boom that blocked the rebound of the light bullet.
"Looks like I guessed right."
Xuan Mo rubbed his chin and murmured, "The force field here is exactly the same as the Sea God's Light on Seagod Island. It can reflect any physical and energy attack. And it doesn't just reflect randomly, but only at the person who launched the attack."
"Brother Mo, what are you muttering about?"
Mu Lin's cultivation was not low, and he could hear Xuan Mo's soft muttering with just a little attention. This filled him with a bit of confusion, "What Sea God's Light? Isn't this Dragon Valley? What does it have to do with Seagod Island that Xiao San and the others went to?"
"Nothing."
Xuan Mo quickly changed his tune and changed the subject.
"I just meant that when we walk towards that main hall, we can't use any skills. Otherwise, we'll immediately suffer a backlash. So we can only move forward step by step, resisting the repulsion of the things in that hall and the gravity. If we can't hold on, we'll be crushed by gravity and bounce back."
"Is that so..."
Mu Lin pondered Xuan Mo's words thoughtfully, but soon he suddenly trembled and looked at Xuan Mo in surprise.
"Brother Mo, what you just said is that I also..."
At this moment, Mu Lin was clearly stunned.
"But didn't Senior Earth Dragon King say that this was his test for you? If I participate, will it..."
At this point, Mu Lin's expression became somewhat hesitant.
In fact, he could feel that when the nine-colored light fluctuation appeared, he did feel a tremor in his heart. He could feel that this would definitely benefit him.
But thinking that this was Dragon Valley, and also the place where the Earth Dragon King arranged the test for Xuan Mo, his eyes dimmed.
"I really don't know whether to call you foolish or clever."
Xuanmo slapped his forehead and said seriously, "Although you didn't accept the Earth Dragon King's test, it doesn't mean you can't try. You probably know that although this place will bring great pressure, the longer you can persevere under these circumstances, the greater the benefits for us Soul Masters. Perhaps your situation of having difficulty breaking through your Qi and Blood can also be improved."
"So Mulin, you mustn't give up this opportunity."
As he said this, Xuanmo patted his shoulder.
"Besides, if the senior didn't intend for you to participate in the test, do you think he would have trapped you inside as well?"
"Ah! That's right!"
At this moment, his excitement was evident.
"I'm really blinded by my own involvement, while the bystander sees clearly!"
With a "whoosh" sound passing by his ear, Mulin couldn't contain himself and rushed towards the main hall ahead.
But when he took his first step into the area outside the main hall and personally felt the force field, even Mulin, who had been mentally prepared beforehand, had his expression change instantly.
Even this single step was already proving difficult for him. The surrounding elements were repelling him, the gravity of the force field was pressing down on him, and the nine-colored energy fluctuations were rising again.
At this moment, Mu Lin also understood the feeling of Xuan Mo being blasted away by that barrier, looking disheveled and covered in dust.
Seeing this, Xuan Mo's lips curled up slightly.
He then returned to the spot where he had been pressed down, and immediately felt a powerful gravity pressing on the back of his neck, while the energy fluctuations were also repelling him forward.
However, this time he was different from the first time; he was prepared. Such a small amount of gravity was no match for him.
So he lifted his right leg and continued to move forward, his gaze fixed on the "treasure" that had vanished.
With each step he took, the gravity squeezed his body forcefully, like pressing fingers into a balloon.
As time passed, Xuan Mo could clearly feel his soul power rapidly depleting. As for Mu Lin, whose soul power was mostly sealed, he could only rely on physical strength to sustain himself.
After withstanding the forces of gravity and repulsion, he continued taking steps. And as he had anticipated, with each step forward, the pressure intensified.
Soon, with their combined efforts, they slowly moved towards the main hall.
As they closed the distance by centimeters, sweat began to bead on Xuanmo and Mulin's temples. Their soul power and physical strength were being depleted at an alarming rate.
"Huff...huff...I can't hold on much longer."
Mulin gasped for breath, his drenched sweat and the way he was supporting himself on one arm were proof that he was already at his limit as an ordinary person.
Without activating his martial soul, he would most likely have been crushed by the gravity and then thrown back.
