Chapter 1424: Chapter 1424: I Don’t Know the Five Elements Sword Art, But I Know the Three-foot Sword Veil

"The person just now already possessed the strength of an Earth Immortal, yet couldn’t withstand the eighteen Sword Qi, struggling to swim ashore, with their entire body turning into a skeleton, and their Primordial Spirit also severely damaged. It’s truly terrifying!"

"Crossing this bridge doesn’t seem to have much to do with strength. That girl from the White Crane Immortal Sect just now only had Divine Transformation Strength, and didn’t she pass through smoothly as well?"

"I admit, I’m scared, I still have a long life ahead, I don’t want to risk my life!"

"I should stop here too, it’s not worth it. Quite a few people passed just now, this shows that crossing the Ferry Immortal Bridge doesn’t necessarily mean you can obtain the opportunity here, it just means there are fewer competitors."

Carson Flores listened to the discussions of the people around him and turned his head to ask, "How many people have passed and how many have fallen since you’ve been here?"

Princess Hail answered, "Eight have passed, thirteen have fallen, among those thirteen, ten were seriously injured, and three perished both in body and spirit!"

Twenty-one people, eight passed, less than a 40% success rate.

The odds are not high, and the stakes are too great, no wonder so many people are hesitating to watch or giving up directly.

"Having watched for so long, what do you think?"

Princess Hail bitterly smiled and said, "Crossing the bridge doesn’t seem to have much to do with the strength, but once you fall into the water, the stronger you are, the more you can resist the erosion of the Ghost Spirit Water. Those three who perished both in body and spirit all had strength below that of an Immortal. The one at the Divinity Transformation Realm fared the worst; they disappeared halfway through their swim."

"With our level of strength, if we fall into the Ghost Spirit Water, I’m afraid we wouldn’t even make it to shore before we’re utterly diminished. Not to mention our unique physical condition, pseudo-Demi Immortal, neither here nor there. Even if there’s an opportunity, our special circumstance might not be able to handle it, so we decided to stop here."

Franklin Wyatt’s expression was also somewhat awkward; obviously, actively choosing to give up felt quite embarrassing to him internally.

Carson Flores nodded, "Giving up is not necessarily a wise choice. I estimate that more people will be injured or killed going forward. With your unique physical condition, there’s no need to gamble."

Carson Flores’s comforting words eased their minds slightly as they had always been worried that he would look down on them.

Carson Flores asked, "Did Franklin Wyatt of the Sky Tiger Sect, Alice Harrison of the Ming Heart Sect, and her martial uncle pass?"

Franklin Wyatt answered, "They originally didn’t dare to cross. After Spencer the Uncle passed, they seemed to be stimulated, and then Franklin Wyatt crossed first, followed closely by Alice Harrison. Alice Harrison’s martial uncle was the last to follow. However, he fell off the bridge at the fourteenth step and was severely injured."

Carson Flores’s expression suddenly became a bit complex.

Did Spencer Steele stimulate the three of them? Originally afraid to cross the bridge, they followed closely after him, yet one fell and was seriously injured. Could this be considered Spencer Steele’s indirect revenge?

But just after Spencer Steele passed, Franklin Wyatt and Alice Harrison quickly followed. Wouldn’t that put Spencer Steele in danger?

Carson Flores decided to cross the bridge.

Even if he really fell down, his bones should be able to hold out for a while, and he had the Life Essence Pearl. It shouldn’t be a big problem, at worst he would suffer more.

"You guys wait here; if you can leave, then leave. Safety first!"

After saying this, Carson Flores directly pushed through the crowd and walked towards the metal steps that appeared quite ordinary.

All eyes were fixed on Carson Flores’s face, their gazes excited and expectant.

Even if they weren’t crossing, watching the drama of others falling into the water while crossing the bridge was also quite entertaining.

Carson Flores arrived at the entrance of the steps, and before he could lift his foot, he already felt a strong Sword Intent locking onto him, as well as a sense of being watched.

Sword Intent?

Carson Flores took a step and set foot on the first step.

"Whoosh!"

A fierce Sword Qi, as if descending from the heavens, slashed towards Carson Flores.

In Carson Flores’s hand, the Three Provinces Sword struck down.

The Sword Qi shattered.

Carson Flores raised his eyebrows slightly; it didn’t seem too powerful. Was this starting off easy and then progressively increasing the attacking intensity step by step?

Carson Flores lifted his leg once more, stepping onto the second step.

A Sword Qi from the left and another from the right came attacking.

Carson Flores wielded his sword, easily handling them.

The third step!

The fourth step!

...

As Carson Flores moved forward, the number of Sword Qi attacking him increased with each step, and their power grew stronger.

After blocking several Sword Qi, Carson Flores suddenly had a realization.

It seemed that the recently comprehended Five Elements Sword Art coupled with the cultivation technique from the first challenge suited dealing with such situations?

A moment of enlightenment filled Carson Flores.

The first and second challenges tested purely survival, was the third challenge about flexibly utilizing one’s skills?

If one thoroughly grasped the cultivation technique and the sword technique, moving them at will, naturally they could handle the third challenge’s Sword Qi. If not thoroughly understood, meaning one had learned them but was unable to use them quickly and flexibly, then did that indicate insufficient talent?

Uh, doesn’t that mean I’m the one with not enough talent?

To have myself use the Five Elements Sword Art to fend off so many Sword Qi, given some more time, I might be able to do it, but I certainly can’t right now!

In the realm of cultivation and comprehension, I definitely cannot be considered a genius; didn’t I barely scrape by in the first and second challenges?

Carson Flores couldn’t do it, but he was not panicked.

Not only was he not panicked, but he was even quite happy.

So happy he wanted to laugh.

He may not know the Five Elements Sword Art, but he had cultivated the Three-foot Sword Veil!

As long as it wasn’t an attack exceeding his Realm, what Sword Qi could break through his Three-foot Sword Veil?
