Toria and the rest sternly shouted, "Ezra, if you want to pass, you'll have to defeat us first!"
"Haha, Toria, the likes of you does not have the qualifications to obstruct brother Ezra. I'll be the one to play with you!" The moment Toria's voice was heard, Rock shot forward, howling with laughter.
"You're going to stop me?" Ridicule appeared on Toria's face.
Rock did not respond, his figure flashing as it appeared in front of Toria. Spiritual energy rapidly swirled around the former's growing hands along with deadly Land Vandal Hand.
Rock sent a chop flying, deadly dipper winds violently slashing downwards.
The two clashed directly, the air under their hands rapidly torn to pieces.
A shockwave unfurled as both figures landed on 10th stone platform and stumbled several steps back.
Toria's originally mocking expression had turned much uglier as he grimly said, "Why has your Land Vandal Hand also reached the second level?!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOne must know that his progress in the Land Vandal Hand was attributed to the personal tutor invited by Drake and numerous cultivation resources. Only through these did he manage to reach the second level.
From what he knew, Rock's Land Vandal Hand had fallen behind substantially, making it practically impossible for him to catch up.
But the power of the Vandal Earth from Rock's previous palm strike had clearly reached the second level of the Land Vandal Hand.
Rock licked his lips, the Vandal earth attribute around his hands tightly clenched into fists, madly devastating the surroundings with astonishing destructive force.
He grinned widely and said, "It's all thanks to you guys. If you guys had not decided to deal with brother Ezra, he would not have given us guidance in our spiritual techniques."
Toria's eyes filled with wavering uncertainty. He had indeed heard that Ezra was giving pointers to Rock and the rest, but had not thought much of it. After all, none of them would believe that Ezra could possibly be so capable in techniques other than Gossamer Steps.
But the undeniable fact before him was that Rock's Land Vandal Hand was indeed not inferior to his own. A hint of regret raised deep in his heart, but he had come far ahead now.
Toria frostily declared, "What's there to be happy about. Brother Drake will teach Ezra who will be the true champion of the peak selection ceremony! You peasants are delusional to think that you can challenge the status of us Shiyan disciples!"
"We'll know whose right after we fight!"
Rock let out an icy laugh. Without further ado, his foot slammed into the ground, rocketing his body forward.
"Come to your death, peasant." Toria laughed in anger. The Spiritual Energy inside his body burst out without reservation as he met Rock's charge head-on. Deadly earth attribute shards devastated the surroundings, leaving scar after scar on the stone platform.
On the 9th platform, Ash Bekham stood against an independant Rhiyan disciple.
"I'm not part of Drake's group, however, I will not surrender to you." Said a young man in decent clothes.
Ash Bekham smiled. "No worries, let's have a fair fight."
Hearing that, the individual smiled back and bowed a little to show friendly gesture. "Thank you, let's start."
On 8th stone platform, Ray Lime stood in front of Usopp.
Usopp said with his arms across his chest, "Sister Ray, your Black Shadow Art is countered by my Sun Light Law, I advise you to leave while you can."
Ray Lime softly chuckled upon hearing this. "There's a mistake in brother Usopp's words. The counter you speak of also holds true if reversed. As long as my Black Shadow Art is more practiced than your Sun Light Law, you will be the one to be countered instead."
Mockery rose from the corners of Usopp's lips. "I've received guidance day and night for the past month, and my Sun Light Law has already reached the initial stage. In terms of mastery, you are far from my match."
As he spoke, sun light qi began to rise from his body as a dreadful heat slowly spread, charring the ground around him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, Ray merely smiled faintly in response to the domineering heat. Spiritual energy surged in her body as frighteningly cold black qi suddenly pulsed, instantly freezing the ground below her feet.
Cold air rose, completely blocking Usopp's sun light.
"Brother Usopp is too complacent, my Black Shadow Art has also advanced to the next level under brother Ezra's guidance during the past month."
She suddenly laughed charmingly. "To be honest, I should be thanking you guys."
Ray's expression turned somewhat ugly at the sight of the alarming Black spiritual energy spreading from Ray's body. Soon after, he inhaled deeply and said, "Ezra... why did he come in my generation."
His gaze turned grim again as he said. "However, things won't go as he wants this time.
You guys may be able to stop us, but don't forget that Paul Channa is only slightly weaker than brother Drake, and there's no one on your side who can stop him!"
Ray frowned slightly. Paul was ranked third amongst the ten great outer mountain disciples. Although he did not flaunt his abilities, he was definitely the strongest person on Drake's side.
She looked towards a stone platform in the distance. Ever since arriving at the top ten platforms, Mahi Ingale had leisurely occupied 7th platform and nobody dared to disturb her because of her background.
Besides a few bold disciples who tried to charge in and were insta-killed at the beginning, there was basically no one who dared to approach her platform.
After occupying it, Mahi Ingale sat there with a smile, looking at Ezra.
Ray Lime let out a bitter chuckle, before she lifted her head slightly to look above where 12 figures were leaping into the air.
Ezra signalled Theor and he jumped at the 6th platform, another girl jumped along with him. An independent Shiyan disciple who ranked 9th in top ten unofficial outer mountain disciples. The high rankers were busy fighting lower platforms so she quietly aimed for a higher one.
Seeing Theor Galearme, she said nothing and took out her daggers. In response, Theor Galearms also showed his two shamshirs.
