20 What Is Strength?

However, the 40 golems were all in a formation.

Once he appeared to attack one of the golems, all the 40 would coordinate their attacks to blast him away.

The Golems used terrifying profound arts and targeted him.

Facing the rain of s.h.i.+ning spears, clubs and metal rods, Sheng Tian only smiled coldly and formed a complex s.h.i.+eld with profound energy.

He knew that with his low energy reserves, it won't block all of the attacks, but he didn't have a better choice.

His sword emitted a fiery black light as a beam of energy cut through the air and slashed at the golems.

The 4 golems which took the hit were blasted to pieces.

At the exact moment, the attacks from the golems broke through his s.h.i.+eld. He tilted his body to dodge, but they still pierced his left shoulder splas.h.i.+ng out blood.

However, his left shoulder was at the same place as his throat before he moved. It was fatal and if he didn't dodge, he would have most probably died.

Though injured, Sheng Tian didn't want to miss the golden chance when the formation of the golems not intact.

The golem's individual strength was not a challenge to him, only the combined strength gave him a headache.

He brought out his full potential and swiftly attacked with all his strength. The golems continued to fall. But he was not fast enough to take down the entire mob in one round.

But with the last ten golems, he can fight and finish them one by one.

Deep wounds were formed as the fight went on.

When the final golem was about to have its head smashed, it threw itself onto him.

Sheng Tian seemed to barely manage to drag his body from being squished by the giant rock body.

As weakness. .h.i.t his body, he allowed his body collapsed onto the ground.

And Sheng Tian was perplexed at the test's end goal.

This is the test of Strength, Who would continue the trial even when the Cultivation level of the contestant is One Whole Realm less than the Golems. If this is not an attempt of murder, then what is?

Time slowly pa.s.sed as Sheng Tian got time to recover a bit and greedily absorb some Profound Energy.

He felt his cultivation which has been stagnant finally have an improvement. He didn't stop complaining about the unfairness and stupidity of the person who set up the trial.

But sadly what Sheng Tian's got for his wails was not an answer but got a giant golem which was over 20 feet tall.

Unlike other times, this time only this one golem appeared like the Final Boss who would appear after waves of mobs.

Sheng Tian, however, didn't have the luxury to be happy as he checked the cultivation of his opponent, probably the last one. Earth Realm 1st stage! What the h.e.l.l was that?

Looking at the ground, the Old Dragon Soul thought that Sheng Tian was probably finished.

But the next second, its golden eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Sheng Tian stood up with a hungry look in his eyes as his wounds were healed at a ridiculous speed.

He looked up at the sky and said "I was just limiting my strength to test myself. As expected, I'm too awesome. Haha."

The Old Dragon Soul's non-existent mouth twitched looking at Sheng Tian's smug expression.

Wasn't this fellow on the verge of death a moment ago? It was all a farce?

d.a.m.n you prankster, you are using the trials to practice your acting skills!

In less than a few breaths, Sheng Tian had no wounds in his body and seemed to be full of energy.

What a joke?! He can skip an entire realm in fights.

There is just no way he would be wasted by a bunch of Nascent Soul Golems.

With a Cultivation Base of first stage Nascent Soul Realm, Sheng Tian knew his strength could stretch all the way to the Earth Realm.

Though he wasn't sure about the exact upper limit of his Strength, he was confident dealing with a first stage Earth Realm golem.

Looking at the humungous golem, he didn't go defensive and threw a punch.

His punch was filled with tremendous profound energy as it destroyed everything ahead. The intent of the attack was "Destruction". It stemmed from his Destruction Play".

In the face of his full strength attack, the debris on the ground, the dust in the air, nothing was spared. Everything came cras.h.i.+ng down on to the golem which punched out in retaliation.

The air was compressed and blasted as the ground shook with tremors spreading everywhere.

The fight scale suddenly escalated.

Until now, no opponent could match up to him. Even though they gave him trouble, it is only through coordination and joint attacks but they could only crumble under his a.s.sault.

This is the first opponent he could go toe to toe with him and he is fighting without holding back.

Roars of punches and shockwaves filled the air.

The gravel lifted off the ground and craters were formed.

Sheng Tian felt his blood boil. He roared as his sword was engulfed in pitch black light.

He tried to end the golem in a swift strike but it didn't happen.

He understood his strength clearly now. He was stronger than the first stage Earth Realm Golem, but nowhere near the second stage's.

After the a.s.sessment of his strength, he decided to end the battle at all costs.

He clutched his sword and focused his body, spirit, and mind. He poured all of his energies without reserve. He didn't bother about his defense because he didn't have the energy to put a barrier.

And he certainly didn't worry about his enemy's defense since what all the golems did was an attack not defend.

He looked at the golem eye to eye. Even though he was like an ant compared to its size, his presence was loftier than a dragon.

He let out at a sprint and covered many meters with each step. The golem gathered its profound energy into its fist and was about to punch forward.

He jumped up and released the first move of the Dark Sword Arts, Dark Cloud Slash.

An incredibly Deadly Sword Energy shook the air as it blasted the golem to pieces.

The force blew him away.

He grit his teeth, stood up and shouted, "I won?"

The ground suddenly shook and a golem taller than the previous one appeared in front of him.

"You gotta be kidding!"Sheng Tian's clenched his fist.

The golem's rock fist compressed the air and shot at him.

"d.a.m.n You h.o.r.n.y old dragon! Are you taking revenge after getting jealous of my handsomeness?" he swore unreservedly.

But he didn't back down at the upcoming attack. Because he couldn't even escape. He tried to absorb the profound energy with the primal seed.

Sadly, the golem's glowing punch arrived in the blink of an eye.

Sheng Tian poured every bit of strength in his body into the sword and swung it at the incoming attack.

The Sword broke. And the s.h.i.+ning Rock fist of the golem, filled with profound Energy, arrived. He could only s.h.i.+ft his body and try to avoid taking the hit head-on. But he couldn't escape the inevitable.

As he faced the Attack in the most fragile state without any defenses, even though he didn't take the attack at 100%, he was blown far away.

His bones were broken. His internal Organs injured. His whole body was leaking blood. He was never been in a worse situation.

Sheng Tian tried to stay awake using the last bit of his consciousness as he tried to gather Profound Energy and prevent himself from dying. But before he could do that, he felt all the Energy and consciousness leaving him.

He clenched his fists and tried to move. But his hands lost strength.

He felt extremely sleepy, his eyelids were never heavier.

As his consciousness slowly faded away, the Breathtaking Face of an Immortal Young Woman with a mischievous smile appeared in his mind.

'Good night forever. I guess you can't wake me up from my sleep this time. Haha.' These were his last thoughts.

With a serene smile on his face, his body laid on the ground, motionless.

The Old Dragon Soul's eyes showed appreciation. "The Strength I mentioned in the test is not the one you gain with your cultivation base. It is the true strength a person has- the strength of your heart and mind. You pa.s.s, exceptionally. "

Then it's eyebrows twitched recalling something "And I'm not h.o.r.n.y. I'm still a Virgin. Humph!"
