Chapter 56: Dao Heart

Their decision was not mocked or ridiculed. After all, a wrong move would injure their dao heart, this wound is difficult to heal.

No medicine or pills can repair this sort of damage.

Finally, Zhao Gongzu stood in front of the drum. The cold and chilly bloodlust from this treasure cause his blood to thin and congealed.

Quickly, he circulate his essence, feeling a wave of warmth rising through his bloodstream.

At this moment, his face was grave and pensive. Without saying a word, he raised his hand to strike on the drum.

Gong!

One strike.

The air moved and instantly, a wave of killing intent assaulted his mind. This sort of backflash was not physical, it was a mental strike that aims at the heart.

’Another one!’

Gong!

Gong!

Zhao Gongzu struck two more time, producing one drum beat after another in quick sucession.

Seeing this, Elder Wang was surprised. Even the crowd did not expect this scion of the Zhao family to do this so boldly!

However, it is clearly not easy.

A line of blood trickle down Zhao Gongzu’s lips.

The two overlapping strike of the drum produced two blade of killing intent to assault his heart at once, causing his well circulated essence to unravel chaotically.

’Just three strike has already injured my heart and cause my essence to go out of control!’ He grimace inwardly.

Outwardly, his face is pale with barely any blood.

However, as the scion of the Zhao family, if he were to give up at the third strike, it would be too shameful!

Gong!

Gong!

Five strike. Then.

Boom!

The killing intent and hatred from the Demon War Drum was so intense and dense that they solidify into corporeal form.

Seeing this, Zhao Gongzu grew panic, but quickly, he used the Thunderstep, a movement art to dodge the incoming wave of killing intent.

However, how could the killing intent and hatred from this desolate beast be so easily evaded?

Even as he was attempting to use his art, it was difficult. The mental attack inflicted to his mind caused him to hallucinate, reality and illusion mixed with one another.

And for a moment, Zhao Gongzu body and mind is dazed, unable to move a single inch.

Elder Wang witnessed all this with clarity.

He was ready to protect this scion. If he did this, Zhao Gongzu would automatically lost the final round, however, compare to losing his life, he believe that the young master wouldn’t blame him.

At this moment, Zhao Gongzu mind snapped back to reality. The wave of killing intent was already nearing his face.

Without much time to react, he immediately took a step back.

"Thunderclap art - Ten Fold Fist!" He shouted, his hand formed a fist, and with a strike, a sound of thunder arrive.

This strike was instantaneous. Like a giant rock dropped into a lake, the corporeal form of the remnant desolate beast warped and twisted, forming ripples.

After a couple of second passes, it dissipate.

Seeing this, Zhao Gongzu wiped the sweat off his face and lowered his hand in relief.

"Elder Wang, this is the most junior can do." He said, bowing toward Elder Wang in salute.

"You did good."

The moment Zhao Gongzu’s final strike dissipated the corporeal killing intent, a heavy silence blanketed the testing grounds.

Then, like a dam bursting, whispers erupted throughout the crowd.

"Five strikes... he actually managed five strikes on the Demon War Drum!"

However, among the other participants awaiting their turn, the atmosphere was markedly different.

Their faces were grim, some pale with barely concealed anxiety. If someone of Zhao Gongzu’s caliber had been pushed to his limits and injured by the fifth strike, what hope did they have?

As Zhao Gongzu reflected on the five strike, even he can’t help but grew fearful. In the final assault, if not for his thunder-element art, then he would have lost!

You can even say that he was lucky, because thunder art is capable of countering lingering killing intent and hatred.

Of course, this is only possible because the soul of the desolate beast sealed in the demon war drum is greatly weakened.

However, this feat is still remarkable.

Meanwhile, Shi Jing, who sat back on the platform, looked at the entire show with wariness.

’A test of one’s dao heart?’

He noticed how Zhao Gongzu, while walking to the demon war drum, was affected by its aura.

Coincidentally, Shi Jing happened to be position closest to the war drum, yet he wasn’t affected by it in the slightest.

’Why do I not feel anything?’

After Zhao Gongzu performance, it was Ye Ming who volunteered.

The other participants was surprised that the two most promising individual would choose to go first instead of waiting to see others step up.

However, when they thought about it, it made sense. This is a test of one’s heart. The more you watch, and the more your heart wavers, the harder it would be.

If you were to go as soon as possible and finish it as soon as possible, then there is nothing to worry about!

Seeing this, a new wave of fire was lit in their heart.

Ye Ming stepped up, just like Zhao Gongzu did. His step was lighter and more carefree, unaffected by the aura emanating from the War Drum.

Seeing this, Zhao Gongzu was a little startled and surprised.

’Who is this person? First it was Shi Jing... Now it’s this unknown individuals. I heard he reformed from the demonic path?’

Ye Ming stood facing the War Drum. Like Zhao Gongzu, he didn’t waste time and struck the drum right away.

Gong!

Gong!

Gong!

Three strike in one go.

Seeing this, Elder Wang narrowed his eyes. At the same time, Xing Yue and Tian Long, who was watching the whole time can’t help but lean forward a little.

After the three strike, a wave of killing intent and hatred appear, rushing toward Ye Ming like tidal wave.

However, unlike Zhao Gongzu, he didn’t dodge and stood there with his arm wide, as though to welcome their bloodlust.

This shocked the crowd greatly.

"He is crazy!"

"I heard he came from the demonic path but this person is definitely a lunatic!"
