Chapter 339: The Difficulty in Entering the Island
Translator: Mercurial_ Editor: DarkGem
"What a joke, is Blue Moon Island so easy to enter? Even if Pan Shan possesses strength of thirty two oxen, he might still not prevail over Hall Master."
The people of the town were all aware about the condition for entering Blue Moon Island, which was to defeat the local hall master.
What sort of people were hall masters? They were higher level flux experts who were just a step away from entering the realm of Flux Master Experts.
Thus, although on Flux Expert Day every subservient island's hall master could recommend three people to Blue Moon Island, these spots weren't usually filled. This was because prevailing over hall masters was simply too difficult.
The reward worth focusing on was actually the qualifications to enter the outer sect. In other words, to take a step back and become an outer disciple of Blue Moon Island by defeating three disciples of Hall Master.
"I'm really not lying. Those outsiders from East Fishermen Village have already opened their flux points and possess the power of flux experts. Since the very start, they declared that they'll fight for East Fishermen Village and obtain all three inner disciple spots," the previous person said with indignation.
However, the majority of residents still weren't convinced. The hall master of Azure Dragon Island was quite famous among the hall masters of all the islands under the control of Blue Moon Island for his extraordinary combat strength.
But Li Yunmu did not doubt the speaker. When he observed the people of East Fishermen Village orbiting around one man and two women like stars around the moon.
If his guess wasn't wrong, then that man and two women should be the descenders from another plane who had attacked Demon.
However, it appeared that of the three men and four women, only one man and two women had showed up here. As for the other four people, Li Yunmu wondered where they could be. Could that group have had the same thought process as him and had sent their companions to infiltrate the other nearby islands?
He could imagine that in the future, this group would definitely become his mortal enemies. But Li Yunmu wasn't anxious. At the moment, he just wanted to see what the disparity between the strength of Earth's fluxers and descenders from other planes.
Since that group had been chosen to descend, then their strength would represent the most talented youths of their plane.
People were coming in one after another, but after a while, it was already time for the formal challenge of Flux Expert Day to begin. The residents of Azure Dragon Town and the four fishermen villages spread out as spectators.
At some unknown time, the number of spectators had already crossed several thousand, but there were still more coming. This was the first time after coming to the Origin World that Li Yunmu witnessed such a large number of natives gathered together.
It could be said that more than half of the population of Azure Dragon Island had showed up.
The first person to appear on stage was someone that everyone had expected, the third disciple of Hall Master, Pan Tu. He was mainly responsible for battling the challengers who wanted to enter the outer sect.
Under ordinary circumstances, as long as a challenger could last against him for three minutes without suffering defeat, they would obtain the qualifications to step onto Blue Moon Island and become one of the outer disciples.
Although Pan Tu wasn't a genuine flux expert, he cultivated a body refining technique and possessed the strength of twelve oxen.
Compared to those who hadn't cultivated any body refining cultivation methods and only had the strength of nine oxen, his power was stronger only by three oxen. This might make it seem as if there wasn't a great disparity in terms of power, but he also cultivated a fighter skill known as Steel Breaking Hand.
It was said that he had already achieved minor success in Steel Breaking Hand. His hands were like iron and steel, able to cut through mountains. Resisting blades with bare hands wasn't the least bit difficult for him.
After cultivating to a major threshold, he could even cut through steel, as stated in the name. Thus, Pan Tu's strength was truly not something to be underestimated.
He was much more formidable than the leader of Nine Dragon Cave, because he cultivated a body refining technique. Just this one point made the leader of Nine Dragon Cave inferior to Pan Tu.
No one would be more clear than Li Yunmu about the strength of someone who cultivated a body refining cultivation technique in addition to a fighter skill.
This was the first time that he had met someone who not only cultivated a fighter battle skill but also a body refining technique.
It could be seen that Pan Tu's whole strength was concentrated in his hands, so they could definitely be compared to a high level destructive tool.
If Demon encountered him and didn't use the four sea devil monkeys, then who would die in the end would be uncertain.
When Li Yunmu saw Pan Tu, his heart immediately sank. He had a feeling that he wasn't able to keep up with the changes. Given this Pan Tu's strength, Demon would probably find it impossible to become an inner disciple. With the three disciples of a hall master being this formidable, Demon would probably exhaust all his strength just to become an outer disciple.
The strength of the natives of the Origin World truly surpassed one's imagination.
Just a physical flux expert on an island under the control of Blue Moon Island was this powerful, so god only knew how powerful would the hall master who was a genuine flux expert be.
This was a psychological blow to Li Yunmu. The strength of the natives of the Origin World had left him astounded once more.
"Come, anyone who thinks that they can become an outer disciple of Blue Moon Island can challenge me."
From atop the stage, Pan Tu calmly invited his challengers.
After this, the people of the island began to challenge him. They had been waiting for this Reversal Day which came only once a year for a long time.
Among the challengers, the majority came were the elite members of the fishermen villages. All of them were one of a kind experts in their own villages and were also the guards there.
Clearly, these guards weren't willing to spend their whole lives as guards; they wanted to advance another step. As long as they became outer disciples of Blue Moon Island, they would gain the opportunity to earn contribution points. Once they earned sufficient contribution points, they could obtain a flux point opening method and turn into a dragon from a carp by becoming a genuine flux expert.
But there were also descenders from other planes like Li Yunmu. They were becoming more and more restless to become members of Blue Moon Island.
However, reality is cruel. Under the savage attacks of Pan Tu, more than ten people had went up on the stage in the last hour, but in the end, not one managed to beat him or last for three minutes under his attacks.
Even if Pan Tu had been fighting continuously with them, not a single person was able to pass. The best performance so far had been two minutes and fifty seconds, just short of success by ten seconds.
Although this wasn't enough to become an outer disciple of Blue Moon Island, but the man successfully attracted the interest of many large clans in the town. They surrounded him, trying to attract him to become a protector of their clan.
At the thirtieth bout, a person from South Fishermen Village was able to last under Pan Tu's hands for four minutes.
This man instantly became everyone's focus. His display even tempted a few large clans to offer their daughters in marriage to him, but under the support of fellow villagers, he declined all of them, insisting on becoming the outer disciple of Blue Moon Island.
At that time, Li Yunmu was then given another example on how important was the status of a flux master in the Origin World. Just a physical flux expert had caused several bourgeois class clans to fight among themselves in an attempt to rope him in.
