“Let’s go take a look!” Su Mo looked toward the rock wall where the crowd had gathered, and headed over with Qingxuan.

When he arrived at the rock wall, he saw that there was a broadcast airing above the fiery red vortex which showed martial artists fighting within.

There were 18 martial artists within the broadcast, each engaged in an individual battle, but faced the exact same opponents, large numbers of flame men.

Some seemed to be cutting through the flame men with ease, while some seemed to have difficulty holding the flame men off.

“Haha! Someone is going to be kicked out again!”

“As of now, it seems like only a handful had passed the first round!”

“I can’t believe a craftsman would design a combat strength test in the first round!”

“The first round is just too tough! I wonder what the second round will be like?”

“...”

The audience chattered excitedly.

From the chatter, Su Mo gleaned that this swirling flame was known as the ‘Path of Fire-refinement’, and one would need to enter the Path of Fire-refinement in order to obtain Ou Lianzi’s Legacy of Craftmanship.

The first round in this Path of Fire-refinement was a combat strength test against flame men.

There were three groups of flame men, with 36 flame men in each group. The first group would be of the same cultivation as the challenger, the second group was a one level higher, while the final group was at two levels above the challengers.

Only 18 martial artists were able to undergo the test within the Path of Fire-refinement at any one point in time, with others able to enter only if someone had passed the test or was eliminated.

Thousands of people had gathered here, but half had already failed the test. They were not able to re-enter the Path if they had already been eliminated.

Swoosh!

Just then, a figure was thrown out of the Path of Fire-refinement, and landed heavily on the square, his face covered in dust.

Swoosh!

The moment this person was thrown out, a young martial artist immediately flew into the Path of Fire-refinement. This young martial artist was a disciple of Celestialspirit Sect who was with Xuan Feng.

As time went on, many were eliminated, while just as many entered the Path of Fire-refinement.

During this period of time, only three had passed the first round, and Su Mo recognized them as disciples of Holy Sky Peak at Celestialspirit Sect.

Disciples of Celestialspirit Sect largely displayed a stronger combat strength as compared to the rest.

Those who were eliminated did not all emerge unscathed. Some were even burnt to ashes by the flame men within the Path of Fire-refinement.

Those who were burnt to ashes immediately disappeared from the broadcast, and others would instantly enter the Path of Fire-refinement.

“Brother Su Mo, let us enter the Path of Fire-refinement the next time someone gets eliminated!” Hong Qingxuan whispered.

Su Mo hesitated for a moment before he said “You go first. I will be right after you.”

“Alright!” Hong Qingxuan said with a nod.

Just then, a martial artist happened to be eliminated, but right before she could enter the Path of Fire-refinement, someone else jumped at the chance.

“Humph! I will easily defeat these pathetic flame men!” Xuan Feng said with a cold snort before he disappeared into the Path of Fire-refinement.

As Xuan Feng charged into the Path of Fire-refinement, Su Mo and Hong Qingxuan immediately looked toward the broadcast.

36 flame men instantly appeared in front of Xuan Feng the moment he entered the fiery path. Each gave off an imposing aura on par with Xuan Feng.

Xuan Feng’s strength did not just come from his aura alone. With a wave of his long saber, saber Qi cut through the air and those 36 flame men were immediately destroyed.

Not long after, another 36 flame men appeared, and were also destroyed with a single wave of his long saber.

The third group of flame men appeared shortly after, and this time Xuan Feng was no longer able to destroy them with one stroke of his long saber. It took a total of 17 strokes before he finally destroyed those 36 flame men.

After destroying all three groups of flame men, Xuan Feng successfully passed the first round of the test and was immediately transported on to the next round.

“Amazing! Who was that? He passed the first round with less than 20 strokes!”

“Why are you even surprised? That was Xuan Feng, ranked among the List of Top 1,000 Talents!”

“No wonder! I was wondering how was his combat strength so mighty? So he is on the List of Top 1,000 Talents!”

Excited chatter rose from the crowd, all amazed at what they had just witnessed. He was indeed worthy of being on the List of Top 1,000 Talents, having displayed such terrifying combat strength to easily destroy opponents of a higher level.

The moment Xuan Feng passed the test, Hong Qingxuan immediately charged into the Path of Fire-refinement.

Most of the martial artists present had already been eliminated, so there wasn’t anyone left to compete with Hong Qingxuan for a spot.

As she entered the Path of Fire-refinement, Su Mo immediately looked toward the broadcast.

Hong Qingxuan materialized in a sea of flames and 36 flame men instantly appeared in front of her.

Their cultivation was on par with Hong Qingxuan, all of Lv 1 Enlightenment Realm, and they were no match for her at all.

With a soft cry and a wave of her slender white hands, many petals slashed out of the void and destroyed those 36 flame men in an instant.

“Amazing! She is a peerless genius as well!” someone exclaimed. With her exquisite looks, Hong Qingxuan had attracted many to watch her battle.

Next, the second group of 36 flame men was also destroyed with one blow of her Blooming Field of Flowers.

Gasps rose from the crowd again, as to destroy 36 flame men of one level higher in one blow signified that she possessed incredible combat strength, and could even be called a peerless genius.

Su Mo was not surprised since he already knew that Hong Qingxuan’s combat strength was strong to begin with. When they battled against each other during the List of Top 100 Talents’ Competiton in Hong Domain, her cultivation was even a level lower than his, which showed how powerful she was.

Next, the third group of 36 flame men of Lv 3 Enlightenment Realm cultivation appeared.

They attacked as one the moment they appeared, and 36 large flaming palm prints headed for Hong Qingxuan.

She remained calm, and suddenly smiled as a teal long sword appeared in her hands.

With a wave of her long sword, there was flash of teal light and the 36 flame men immediately disappeared.

The crowd was stunned into silence, their eyes opened wide with disbelief.

One move!

The final group of flame men were two levels higher than her, yet she still defeated them with one move!

My goodness!

Her ability to battle those of higher cultivation was even higher than Xuan Feng!

“This move should be the Martial Emperor grade martial arts technique legacy she received from Firmament Palace!” Su Mo guessed.

He immediately charged into the Path of Fire-refinement as two more people were thrown out after failing to pass the first round.

When he materialized, he realised he was in a circular passage with a radius of 33 meters, completely surrounded by crimson flames.

Even though flames covered the entire area, he found it odd that he did not feel hot at all.

Just then, right in front of him, the flames combined to form 36 flame men.
