Asura Continent

Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Lu Yang quickly put on the Fire God Armor. He immediately felt as if the surrounding flames had disappeared, but the moment that feeling appeared, everything returned to normal. Lu Yang understood that his guess was completely correct. This was indeed a treasure that was imitating the Fire God Armor, just that it had its shape, but no soul.

If it was anyone else who had obtained this armor, it would be impossible to defend against the attacks of the flames. But Lu Yang was different; he had long ago obtained the soul of the artifact fire soul within the Nine Profound Jade Wall. The reason why Lu Yang had bought the Fire God Armor was also for this. With a thought, he forcefully brought out the Flame God's Armor from the Nine Mystical Jade Wall and allowed it to enter into the Fire God's Armor.

As soon as the artifact spirit entered the armor, it felt a strong urge to leave. However, Lu Yang snorted and forcefully controlled it to merge with the armor. After about ten breaths of time, the artifact soul finally merged into one. And then, under everyone's astonished eyes, it began to emit dazzling flames.

At this moment, the Fire God Armor gave off a different sensation. It was as if the Fire God Armor was not a copy. Instead, it was the actual Fire God Armor.

The crowd in the plaza all sucked in a breath of cold air, one after another in astonishment. They did not know why they felt this way.

"Damn! Did I make a mistake? That broken armor gave me a feeling like it was real?!"

"Bro, I feel the same way. It's so f * cking weird."

"Do you think this kid has used some sort of sacred art to allow the replica to possess a sliver of the Fire God Armor?"

"..."

This feeling rose one after another, and even the three people on the altar were so angry that they revealed a surprised expression.

"What's going on? Why do I feel the same?" Huo Dekang frowned. He was actually unable to see through the internal structure of the Fire God Armor.

"Big Brother, do you think that this kid accidentally acquired the true Fire God Armor and not a replica?" Huo Dewei subconsciously asked.

"I don't think so." Huo Dekang said affirmatively, "When he took out the Fire God Armor, I used my spiritual sense to scan it and confirmed that it was indeed a replica."

Huo Dewei was even more confused. "Then why did such a change happen?"

"If he asks me, I don't know what's going on." Huo Dekang thought this in his heart, but he was hoping that Lu Yang would pass the examination. That way, he could bring him back to the Skyblaze Sect. On the other hand, Lu Yang who brought the armor back could definitely find an opportunity to ask about it. If he could get this armor, then it would be a great merit.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Huo Dekang revealed a cold smile, and thought to himself, "Brat, although I can't change the illusion world, I can still reduce the power of the flames a little." With that, he lifted up his right hand and waved it in the air. Without anyone noticing, a slight change occurred on his path to heaven.

No one could sense this change, but Lu Yang could clearly feel that the temperature of the surrounding flames had dropped a little. He subconsciously looked up and saw Huo Dekang's strange eyes. He roughly understood what was going on. Withdrawing his gaze, Lu Yang lifted his head and looked straight ahead. There was still a hundred feet left. Relying on the defensive power of the Fire God Armor, it wasn't difficult to reach the end.

Just like that, Lu Yang walked forward step by step. Because the Fire God Armor had the Fire God's artifact soul, it was indeed different from the actual Fire God Armor, but its defensive power was also unimaginably strong. More than 90% of the surrounding flames were absorbed by the armor. The remaining 10% was completely unable to harm Lu Yang.

30 meters. 15 meters. 10 meters ???.

Lu Yang was getting closer and closer to the end of the Heavenly Flame Road. When he had taken his last step, his mouth revealed a strange smile, and then he strode out. Lu Yang stood in the air and looked behind him at the Heavenly Flame Road. He cupped his hands towards the three people on the altar and said, "Envoy of the Fire God, I wonder if I have completed the assessment?"

Huo Dekang smiled faintly and said, "Fellow naturally completed the examination. From today onwards, you will be a disciple of the Skyblaze Sect." As he spoke, he threw a jade token over.

Lu Yang caught it in midair. It was a palm-sized, rectangular jade plate. It was entirely fiery red in color, with a carved flame on the front and the three words' Skyblaze Sect 'on the back. There was a powerful formation placed inside the jade. The formation was very complex. To copy a jade, one had to have extremely high cultivation to be able to do it.

Lu Yang put the jade medallion on his waist and then flew towards the altar in a flash. He didn't look for the fire jade and only gave her a look of worry from afar.

After landing, Lu Yang put away his Fire God Armor and clasped his fists: "Lu Yang greets the three emissaries ???"

"Lu Yang, you are also in the Nascent Soul Stage, right? Your cultivation is equivalent to ours, call us senior brother from now on! " Huo Dekang coveted Lu Yang's armor, his tone was extremely polite as he began to introduce, "My name is Huo Dekang and this is my younger brother, Huo Dewei. The other one is also my good brother, Huo Yuheng."

"Greetings, fellow apprentices." Lu Yang cupped his fists in a very polite manner.

Huo Dekang took a glance at the situation within the Flame Pavilion and said, "There's still one more cultivator who won't be able to last much longer. Once he fails, we'll go back to the Skyblaze Sect."

As expected, not long after, the cultivator's body trembled and was instantly burnt to death by the scorching flames.

Huo Dekang withdrew the illusions of the two great trials and spoke to the crowd on the square, "The examination is over. I'd like to become a disciple of the Skyblaze Sect. I'll come again next year!" After he finished speaking, he didn't even look at the crowd. He nodded at the three people beside him and left with a wave of his sleeve.

A powerful formation had been set up in Fire Dragon City. This formation had powerful defensive capabilities, but it was useless against the disciples who had the Skyblaze Sect's command medallion. Actually, not all times were useless. It was just that during the annual examination, those with a token from the Skyblaze Sect were allowed to enter. This also served to emphasize the honor of the disciples of the Skyblaze Sect.

Just like that, the four of them left. The crowd stared in disbelief in the direction that Lu Yang had left in with widened eyes. They originally thought that Lu Yang was just a clown. They thought that he would die in the assessment just like the other disciples in the exam. He hadn't thought that he would actually pass the exam and become a disciple of the Skyblaze Sect.

The discussions broke out again. This time, they did not mock him. Neither were they astonished, they were just jealous.

"That fellow is lucky to have managed to pass the examination?"

"Humph!" If I could get a piece of armor like that, I would be able to complete the exam as well. "

"That's right, I'm so f * cking jealous of him."

"..."

Fiery Jade continued to look at the empty space, looking at the direction where Lu Yang had left. He muttered in his heart, "Lu Yang, I'll wait for you here. I believe you will come and find me."

Apart from the fire jade, Huo Wu was also hidden within the crowd. She looked towards Lu Yang and said, "Senior, I know that you have many secrets and I believe that you can avenge me."

Other than these two, there was another person who looked at the sky in surprise. If Lu Yang was here, he would definitely recognize him.

This person was the one who had used all of his savings to buy the Fire God Armor. He clenched his fists and said: "I will take the examination next year. I didn't think that the Fire God Armor would have such a magical power."

As for Lu Yang, the four of them were flying forward at high speed. Just as they flew more than ten thousand miles away, they suddenly stopped.

This was a mountain range, and its surroundings were extremely desolate. Not even a single person could be seen.

Huo Dekang glanced at the two men beside him, coughed lightly, and said, "I'm a little tired. I wish to rest here for a while ???"

The two of them were very smart. Huo Dewei said, "Big Brother, I'm also very tired. I have to go back and cultivate. Why don't we rest here for an hour?"

Huo Yuheng agreed. "There's a hot spring here. Let's go and soak in it for a while!"

Upon saying these words, the three of them simultaneously turned to look at Lu Yang. Lu Yang had no choice but to say, "We will follow your arrangements, senior brothers."

"Come, let's go down." With a wave of his sleeve, Huo Dekang flew down with the three of them.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at a valley. Huo Dekang faced a cliff and formed a seal. With a flash of light, a cave about three people tall appeared. Huo Dekang was the first to enter. Not long after he walked in, he saw a hot fog blowing towards him. A hot spring that was several feet wide appeared in his line of sight.

Huo Dekang jumped down from his bed and said, "We often come here. Although soaking in the hot spring doesn't increase our cultivation, every time we do, the fatigue on our bodies will disappear."

Lu Yang hesitated for a moment before jumping down with them. However, he secretly increased his vigilance.

After soaking in the water for about an hour, Huo Dekang suddenly said: "Junior Brother Lu, I am very interested in your Fire God Armor. Can you buy it for me?" He spoke very politely. In reality, he had already made up his mind. If Lu Yang didn't give it to him, he would force him. If he didn't, he would snatch it from him. He would even be able to kill Lu Yang.

Huo Dekang did not expect Lu Yang's answer to that. "Senior brother Kang, I spent a lot to buy this Fire God Armor. If you give me enough spirit stones, I'll sell it to you ???"

"What? He actually asked me for money?" Huo Dekang was startled, but he didn't have any intention of taking the money, "I don't have any money on me, so how about I give it to you after we return to the sect?"

"Then, alright!" Lu Yang pretended to hesitate as he took out the Fire God's Armor and handed it to Huo Dekang.

Huo Dekang stared at the armor for a while. After confirming that there were no problems, he put it away in his storage pouch and said, "We're almost done soaking in it. Let's go back!"

Back to Lu Yang, the three of them kept whispering to each other, and the corner of Huo Dekang's mouth curled into a proud smile.

"Big brother, congratulations!" He was able to acquire this treasure so easily. " Huo Dewei said with a smile.

"This kid understands what's good for him, otherwise we would really have to take action." Huo Dekang was also extremely excited as he said, "Tell me, what reward can he give me if I give this treasure to Lord Huo Feng?"

"I will definitely give you a Four-striped Pill to help you reach the Five-fire realm as soon as possible." Huo Dewei enviously said.

Huo Dekang did not think so. He waved his hand and said, "Do you think it's easy to reach the Five-Fire realm? Even if I consume more Four Vein Pills, it'll be difficult for me to break through to the current realm in a short period of time."

Six hours later, a huge mountain range appeared in front of them. The mountain range was continuous and stretched out as far as the eye could see.

A powerful formation was set up on top of the mountain range and it was shrouded in mist. One could vaguely see seven towering mountain peaks within the mountain range.

Huo Dekang pointed at a mountain in front of them. He looked at Lu Yang and said, "Junior brother Lu, after you enter the Skyblaze Sect, don't speak carelessly. I'll arrange everything. Do you understand?"
