670 The Fifth Senior Direct Disciple

The radiant golden shield started to collapse at an astonishing speed due tothat grey light beam. That defensive shield, which was able to resist anall-out attack from a Seven Yuan Nirvana Stage expert, collapsed just likepaper mache.

At this moment, a panic-stricken expression quickly appeared on Jiang Hao’sface. However, since he was able to become one of the four senior directdisciples of the Desolate Hall, he was no ordinary individual. In the face ofdanger, he acted in a decisive fashion. Immediately, he lightning quick stompedon his crumbling golden shield, before he used that momentum to retreat.

Whoosh!

The moment Jiang Hao made his sudden explosive retreat, the grey light hadalready thoroughly smashed a hole through his golden shield. Furthermore, itcontinued on with an astonishing speed and flew straight towards Jiang Hao.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Jiang Hao’s face turned solemn as he quickly retreated. As he continuouslywaved his sleeves, waves of powerful Desolate Energy came rushing forth.Following which, he tried to use those energy waves to resist the strange greylight beam, that was headed towards him.

However, it was obvious that his attempt at resistance was futile. Althoughthe grey light beam was not frightening to look at, the corrosive strength thatit contained was at quite a terrifying level. Therefore, those Desolate Energyshockwaves that were sent out by Jiang Hao did not hinder the grey light beamat all.

At this moment, the entire stadium was thoroughly rifled up. Countless numbersof disciples, who were initially seated, all stood up suddenly. All of themwore dumbfounded looks as they stared at Jiang Hao, who was now extremelydistressed. In that second, each and every one of them had a look of disbeliefon their faces.

The situation had turned around too quickly!

Originally, they assumed that the fight would end the moment Jiang Haoexecuted his “Great Star Majestic Fist”. However, none of them expected thatnot only was Lin Dong able to handle such a fearsome attack, he even managed toforce Jiang Hao into such a sorry state!

An uproar spread throughout the entire mountain peak and even Pang Tong, FangYun and Song Zhou gawked at this scene. The three of them shot a look at eachother and they could all see the shock that was present in each other’s eyes.

“Swish!”

At this very moment, Jiang Hao could not be bothered about the uproar that washappening on the mountain peak. His attention was completely focused on thegrey light beam, that was tailing him just like a maggot in his bone. A thickfeeling of danger rose within him, causing all the hair on his body toinvoluntarily stand.

“It has caught up!”

Jiang Hao’s pupils suddenly contracted. The grey light beam pierced throughthe void like lighting and had actually already arrived in front of him.

“I don’t believe that I can’t block you!”

After retreating in such a distressed manner, Jiang Hao’s anger had finallyshot through the roof. Straightening his head, boundless Yuan Power eruptedcrazily from his body, before he launched a palm attack.

However, as Jiang Hao was about to completely unleash all the Yuan Powerwithin his palm, an old figure strangely appear in front of him. With a wave ofhis sleeve, a gentle draft appeared and swept Jiang Hao away. At the same time,he flipped his palm again before endless Yuan Power surged forth and formed agiant Yuan Power vortex in front of him. The vortex spun around crazily as theYuan Power within it continued to grow endlessly.

Chi!

The grey light beam rushed into the Yuan Power vortex with lightning speed.After that happened, everyone could see several massive explosions eruptingwithin the vortex.

Chen Zhen’s gaze turned solemn as he stared at the grey light beam that wasrampaging across the vortex. At this moment, he raised both of his hands gentlyand directly patted the vortex, causing it to scatter. Following the scatteringof the vortex, the grey light beam within also disappeared along with it.

After Chen Zhen settled the grey light beam, Jiang Hao had already landed onthe ground. He raised his head with a faint palpitation still remaining on hisface.

At this moment, the entire mountain peak was eerily silent. One gaze afteranother suddenly landed on the body of Chen Zhen, before all of them secretlygulped. Being disciples of the Desolate Gate, they were naturally aware thatwhen disciples spared, the hall masters would not typically intervene. In fact,they would only interfere if there were incidents that were spinning out ofcontrol.

Pang Tong and the other two looked at this scene with some palpitations intheir hearts.

“Lin Dong, is that the Desolate Demon Eye?” asked Chen Zhen in a relaxed tone,while hovering in mid air. He was looking at Lin Dong below, with a complexexpression within his eyes.

As this question appeared, a sucking sound resounded from everywhere withinthe stadium. In fact, for Pang Tong, Jiang Hao and the other two, a richastonishment expression appeared within their eyes.

Amongst the Desolate Hall martial arts, the Great Desolation MysteriousScripture was naturally the most powerful one. Below the Great DesolationMysterious Scripture, was the so-called four great martial arts. Amongst them,the Desolate Demon Eye was the hardest to master. Within these few years,although it cannot be said that no one had managed to master the Desolate DemonEye, most of them were the Desolate Hall’s older generation members. Amongstthe disciples, however, there was no one who had successfully done it…

However, right before their eyes, Lin Dong had actually managed to learn theDesolate Demon Eye, which was widely considered to be the most lethal martialart in Desolate Hall. How could this not make the audience feel shocked?Furthermore, they were clearly aware that Lin Dong had merely entered themartial arts hall for five days…

However, in these five days, he actually managed to gain an initial masteryover the Desolate Demon Eye?

“Is this fellow even human?” thought Pang Tong and other three as they shot alook at each other. All of them had complex feelings. Even though they were allhighly talented, if they were to be compared to that fellow Lin Dong, theyseemed rather ordinary.

Of course, the four of them naturally did not know that the reason why LinDong was able to do so, was not only because of his talent but also because ofthe Mysterious Stone Talisman. Although the Desolate Demon Eye was overbearingand evil and ordinary individuals would find it exceedingly difficult to fullycontrol it, Lin Dong possessed the Mysterious Stone Talisman. Therefore, he wasable to fully restrain and control it!

Every pair of eyes in the entire stadium congealed on Lin Dong’s body. Atthis moment, the grey eye at Lin Dong’s forehead began to close before turninginto a grey line and disappearing.

After the grey eye disappeared, a pale expression appeared on Lin Dong’s face.The lethality, Yuan Power and Mental Energy consumption of the Desolate DemonEye had completely exceeded his expectations. If Chen Zhen did not intervene,the previous attack would have likely left serious injuries on Jiang Hao. Thissituation was something that he obviously did not want to see. After all, thisis the Desolate Hall and not the Ancient Battlefield. Therefore, he could nolonger be as aggressive as before.

“Yes, hall master, the martial art that I have just used is indeed theDesolate Demon Eye.”

Lin Dong bowed at Chen Zhen, before saying in a bitter voice: “Due to the factthat I only have an initial mastery over it, I can’t control it well…”

“I see…” Chen Zhen subconsciously muttered before turning silent for a while.It was as if he was trying to quell the shock within his heart.

After seeing Chen Zhen fall silent, Lin Dong did not speak anymore. He knewthat Chen Zhen and the rest must be shocked that he was able to learn the“Desolate Demon Eye”.

On the stone chair, Wu Dao secretly laughed bitterly in his heart. However,joy promptly surged into his heart. The more talented Lin Dong was, the betterit was for their Desolate Hall. After all, it has been many years since theirDesolate Hall had produced such an outstanding disciple…

“The path that the Desolate Demon Eye walks on is the pursuit of greaterkilling power. In the future, if you are unable to completely control it, tryto refrain from using it when sparring with other disciples. Besides, thismartial art will have a corrosive effect on the person using it. Unless it is acritical juncture, it’s best not to use it recklessly.” said Chen Zhen in aserious tone after regaining his clarity.

“Yes, disciple understands.”

Lin Dong respectfully nodded his head. He did not expose the existence of theMysterious Stone Talisman. In fact, he did not have to worry about thecorrosive effect of the Desolate Demon Eye because of it. Nonetheless, theMysterious Stone Talisman was his greatest secret. As such, due to his cautiousdisposition, he was naturally unwilling to expose its existence even though heknew Chen Zhen and the rest did not have any malicious intentions towards him.

“For today’s spar, the victor and loser have been decided. From today onwards,you will be the fifth senior direct disciple of the Desolate Hall. Is thereanyone else who objects?” Chen Zhen turned towards Pang Tong and the rest andasked.

After hearing his words, Pang Tang and the other three hesitated for a whilebefore shaking their heads. This time around, even Jiang Hao could only laughbitterly. The power that Lin Dong had displayed left him with no grounds toobject…

Roar!

After Pang Tong and the other three indicated that they did not object, theentire stadium immediately erupted into a spectacular sea of cheering soundsand voices. Over tens of thousands of Desolate Hall disciples stared ferventlyat the thin figure standing in the middle of the stadium. A trace of respectappeared on all of their faces.

After today’s match, Lin Dong had thoroughly conquered all the disciples inDesolate Hall. From today onwards, he would also become the fastest disciple inthe history of the Desolate Hall to become a senior direct disciple!
