Chapter 542 Ascension Three
As Angel finished speaking, Ji Lan noticed that He was flapping the wings on his back, and dense white feathers were floating down from the sky.
It was as if heavy snow had fallen from the sky, tens of millions of them.
"In this important test, the tester needs to identify the luminous feathers and capture them. If seven 'light feathers' are missed, it will be considered a failure. You can only challenge again next year."
The sweet female voice echoed again.
Jilan did not respond, because his attention was focused on the top of his head... It was estimated that the flying feathers in the sky would land in less than ten seconds.
He realized that the first challenge of the "Lion's Gate" was to test the gnosis and speed of the tester.
Only extremely high gnosis can identify the few luminous creatures hidden among the feathers in the sky, and only extremely fast speed can accurately capture them before they hit the ground.
If one of these two items is held back, it will be difficult to pass this test... Of course, if there are special means, they can also be used. After all, Angel has not banned it.
‘Attribute reconstruction. ’
Jilan followed the principle of using all his strength when a lion fights a rabbit, and silently recited it in his heart.
With the activation of the original ability, he extracted four of his comprehensive and perfect attributes, namely strength, endurance, spirituality and soul, and took 25 attribute points each, gaining 100 free attribute points.
Then they were added to agility and gnosis respectively, so that both attributes reached 100 points.
Gillan suddenly discovered that his already extremely keen perception had increased again, reaching a terrifying level.
His eyes were as bright as fire and his senses were fully open.
In an instant, among the thousands of feathers falling all over the sky, he discovered a few feathers that were extremely difficult to identify and emitted a faint light.
‘There are a total of 77,000 feathers, among which one hundred “light feathers” are hidden. ’
Jilan learned the information through perception and thought to himself.
‘There are eight seconds left, which is enough. ’
While thinking about it, he finally moved.
His figure flashed, leaped into the air, and used alchemy to make a stone pedal out of thin air, which he kept moving around.
In just three seconds, Ji Lan had already grasped the hundred "Light Feathers" in his hands.
But when he just landed, the sweet female voice sounded again:
"Mr. Guillain Iros, you are so clean and tidy, but the test is not over yet."
When Angel finished speaking.
In Jilan's perception, he suddenly discovered that among the flying feathers in the sky, there were another hundred feathers emitting a faint light.
'besides? ’
His eyes narrowed.
But this time, Jilan had a new idea. He did not catch the "Light Feather" in the air with speed, but put his hands together and said lightly:
"Refining!"
Immediately, he raised his hand, and dense transparent silk threads flew out from his palm, radiating in all directions.
Whoosh whoosh——
These threads accurately hit the hundred "light feathers" falling in mid-air, penetrated and captured them, and then suddenly recovered them.
call out! !
Jilan closed his palms and grasped all the silk threads and feathers.
This time, it took less than a second!
Wow! !
The petite and charming angel landed on the ground with its wings flapping, a look of surprise on its delicate and lovely face.
"What an amazing reaction and method! Among the ascended people who have passed through the Lion's Gate in the past, there are few who can handle it better than you!"
Angel clapped her hands and smiled again:
"Congratulations, Mr. Gilan Iros, you passed the first test."
The feathers all over the sky finally fell, and the two of them bathed in it. Under the bright sunshine, the scene was quite dreamy.
Ji Lan silently took off his hat and saluted the girl angel.
Angel said with a smile:
"So, sir, we are about to face the second test. Are you ready?"
"No problem, let's get started."
Gillan nodded.
Hearing this, Angel's smile did not change, but she raised her white and tender little hands, clasping her hands together and interlacing her fingers in a praying gesture.
He opened his mouth slightly and said:
"The second test, the burning of the golden lion."
Buzz! !
After finishing speaking, the halo of light above Angel's head suddenly burst into dazzling golden light!
As the light shone, a phantom of a male lion actually formed in the sky above it. The light was scorching, the hair on its body was swaying like flames, and its shape was extremely majestic and oppressive.
"Roar!!"
This golden lion raised its head and roared, making a deafening sound.
At the same time, a golden-red flame that covered the sky and sun escaped from his body, shrouding Jilan head-on!
"This severe test requires the tester to undergo the baptism of holy light for seven minutes. Please note that the holy light has dual damage to the body and spirit. If you cannot bear it, you can stop in time... If you fail to hold on, there will be Risk of Death ”
Angel reminded her kindly with a holy smile on her face in the posture of a young girl praying.
Ji Lan raised her hand to touch her chest and bowed in return.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for informing me."
After finishing speaking, he had already recited silently in his heart:
‘Attribute reconstruction. ’
Jilan restored the temporarily increased attributes, and then allocated attribute points to add to endurance and spirituality, causing these two attributes to temporarily break through to 100 points.
Almost the next second.
boom! !
The dazzling golden-red flame formed a beam of light and struck Jilan's body, immediately setting his clothes on fire.
His expression became serious.
A terrifying high temperature locked him tightly, and the flames continued to burn his body and spirit.
However, under Jilan's unreasonable attributes panel, the baptism of holy light originating from the apostle "Twilight" only made him feel hot and sweaty, without even a hint of tingling.
Seeing this, Ji Lan was also secretly relieved.
The “beauty of numbers” never disappoints him.
A smile gradually appeared on his face.
"Huh?!" Angel raised her pretty eyebrows, opened her mouth slightly, and showed an incredible expression. "He...he doesn't seem to be in pain, but actually enjoys it?!"
His eyes stayed on the purple-eyed young man, and noticed that the other person was in the golden-red holy light, and his whole body was burning. Not only did he not suffer and scream like the previous testers, but he seemed to be taking a hot shower, revealing his body. A comfortable expression.
Angel was surprised and puzzled.
The difficulty of this second trial, "The Burning of the Golden Lion", is much higher than the first trial, "The Sorrow of the Feather Picker". Under the baptism of the Holy Light, it is extremely difficult for the sixth-level long-lived person to bear it, and often Among the ten testers who participated in the ascension ceremony, only one could barely resist.
Although ascension is inherently difficult, the difficulty of the "Lion's Gate" in July can be regarded as one of the hardest among the twelve paths.
The performance of "Red Sage" Gilan Iros really amazed Angel.
Originally, he thought that Jilan had used some means to avoid the baptism of holy light, but as time passed, the other party's relaxed and carefree expression remained the same, no longer like a disguise.
Only then did Angel understand——
There is no false person under the great reputation!
"Red Sage" Gilan Iros is worthy of being hailed as the strongest man in the modern era. Even though he takes the Forge Sword and is an alchemist, he does not have any shortcomings.
This is a perfect person.
His ability is far beyond the difficulty of the trial.
"No wonder Germaine said that he wanted to pass through the twelve gates of ascension one by one, gain enlightenment and open up a new path... It may be difficult to find such a great person in thousands of years. Perhaps, one day in the future, he will Can you really ascend to the new February Sichen?”
Angel couldn't help but have such a ridiculous idea.
at the same time. In various areas of the "Corridor", the superiors of each camp also silently lowered their sights in the dark, watching the entire July Ascension Ceremony.
Everyone was surprised when they saw Gilan Yilos in the holy light, unscathed and as if he were bathed in spring breeze.
"As expected of my brother, haha!"
On the plateau, Texel laughed heartily. The giant tauren beside him who was watching the ceremony was also quite surprised and said in a loud voice:
"In the long years, I'm afraid there are only a few people who can be so relaxed and relaxed during the ascension ceremony... When I passed through the 'Aries Gate', I almost lost a layer of skin after a bloody battle!"
"Me too!"
Texel shook his head and sighed.
"The Ascension Ceremony is a natural chasm on the 'Road of the Fire Sword'. Outstanding figures from countless eras throughout the ages have been stuck at this step. They are unable to ascend and remain in the world. They grow old in unwillingness and regret, and eventually turn into a handful of dust. .”
He still remembered that when he was still a mortal, he had received the attention of March Sichen "Gladiator" Mr. Mars and was given the "Apostle's Brand".
Originally, he thought that he was the protagonist of the era, and he was extremely confident in his own strength... But when it came to the ascension ceremony, Texel suffered a heavy blow.
Because the difficulty of the trial was very high, it would have been difficult for him to pass it if it hadn't been for his tenacious fighting spirit and his perfect fighting skills that had been honed in the world.
Even so, Texel also knew that the difficulty of "Lion Gate" was even higher than that of "Aries Gate"!
This shows how outrageous Gilan Yiros's performance was, otherwise it would not have shocked the two March Apostles.
The same reaction as Tessel and Taunos also included the superiors of other months, Avril, Pablo, Sasha, Sade, Anthony, Germaine, Jorah, Yasiels, Hellman, Ah Gurney...the other apostles, and even the transmuters and ascendants all had a high evaluation of this "Red Sage" in their hearts.
Especially the friendly leaders of the "Crippled King" camp.
The better Gilan performs, the more delighted they will be.
Seven minutes passed quickly.
The beam of light that shrouded Gilan slowly dissipated.
The golden red flame burning on his body was extinguished.
Jilan was still standing there with his white cane in hand, with a smile on his face, as if the baptism of holy light just now was just an illusion.
"Mr. Gillan, congratulations, you passed the second test."
Angel's eyes were complicated and she said softly.
He was silent for a moment.
"Next, there will be the third and final test... Before that, I would like to ask you, do you have a firm belief in your pursuit of truth?"
"Why did Miss Angel ask that?"
Gillan wondered.
The cute girl with wings in white clothes replied calmly:
"Because those who do not have firm faith will definitely die in this test..."
"That's it."
Jilan nodded and grinned:
"Of course!"
After that, he said silently in his heart:
‘Archive. ’
An outline phantom then emerged from his body and stayed in place, and Gilan felt relieved.
He did this not because he was unconfident.
It was just to make sure nothing went wrong and to leave a way out for myself.
At least, that's what Gillan thinks.
"Since you have a firm belief, sir, that's good."
Angel hummed.
He raised his little face and looked at Jilan, but his expression changed from the previous smile and became solemn.
"In the name of the 'Sword Angel' under God, I finally ask Trialist Gilan Iros, are you ready for the final test of the July Ascension Ceremony?"
"Let's get started!"
Gillan responded loudly.
Buzz! !
Angel raised his right hand high.
Just heard a roar.
The beams of light falling from the sky finally converged in His little hand, forming a flame-shaped sword that curved like a snake, and the sword's blade burned with dazzling golden fire.
This is the original appearance of "Sword Angel"!
As the most skilled angel under Omer, Angel's strength is not simple.
At this moment, his eyes glowed with golden light, and his whole person's temperament changed from the original cute and calm to aggressive and oppressive.
The terrifying momentum surged past like a stormy sea.
Ji Lan narrowed his eyes and instinctively put down his cane and inserted it into the ground to stabilize his center of gravity.
A strong wind blew, and the bright sky dimmed.
"The third test, the heart of a martyr."
Angel's voice became cold.
"I will strike you with a sword, and this sword will cause great disaster to your soul. Only by resisting it can the ascension ceremony be considered a complete end... Otherwise, you will die on the spot."
"Okay." Ji Lan's expression remained normal.
He secretly activated "Attribute Reconstruction", adjusted the attributes, and added all the extracted attribute points to the soul column.
With the greatest blessing.
Jilan's spiritual attributes actually reached "175"!
What an exaggerated value is this?
Even he himself doesn't know.
Maybe...
Even those who have ascended to level 7 cannot reach it.
Even level 8 transmutators can’t reach it!
This is already an apostle-level spiritual strength!
Boom——
Angel already held the sword with both hands and suddenly swung it down!
The flame-shaped sword slashed out a curtain of light!
In an instant, it hit Gillan!
The sword light passed between Jilan's eyebrows, leaving a fine golden mark in the center of his face.
The overwhelming mysterious shock wave converged at one point, crushing towards Jilan's spiritual kingdom.
However...
Jilan was just stunned for the first time, and then his eyes regained their vitality, and he looked at Angel who maintained a sword-wielding posture without changing his expression.
"Miss Angel, is the trial over?"
"..."
The girl whose whole body was radiating flames was stunned.
A long while.
He then uttered:
"Huh?"
The purple-eyed young man in front of him took a blow from his sword, but he seemed to be fine? !
And, how long has it been?
One second?
He regained consciousness in less than a second?
How strong is this guy's mind? ! !
Angel roared inwardly and the corners of her mouth twitched.
Bang!
He couldn't help but let go of his hand, and the flame-shaped sword fell down.
