Seeing this scene, Xu Sheng's eyes couldn't help but flicker for a moment...
None of the Wei Family Disciples were willing to go, which meant there was no need for him to stay among this group of Wei Family Disciples...
A disciple beside him couldn't help but purse his thin lips and quietly asked, "Brother Xu, what should we do now? If everyone is too scared, things are going to be troublesome!"
Not to mention the other Wei Family Disciples, even he was scared!
After all, the scene just now was too heart-wrenching, a living person had turned to ashes in the blink of an eye...
Xu Sheng stared at him and said, "Why don't you give it a try then?"
Hearing this, the latter's complexion turned ugly and he hesitated greatly, "Brother Xu, I..."
He wanted to agree, but he couldn't joke with his own life!
Xu Sheng raised his eyebrows and said, "What! Don't want to?"
The disciple only felt a burning sensation on his face, and with a sense of shame, he said, "Hmm! No one knows what unexpected situations might occur on the way, and if one fails, it's death, I..."
Hearing this explanation, Xu Sheng outright ignored him and then turned his gaze to the other Wei Family Disciples...
His tone was indifferent as he said, "Disciples of the Wei Family, if you're frightened just because of what happened just now, then you'll never stand out in your lifetime."
"In my opinion, you might as well offer your heads to the Lin Family and Xu Family disciples now, so that they don't have to exert themselves!"
This mockery continually pricked the hearts of these Wei Family Disciples, each of them clenching their fists...
Yes, Xu Sheng indeed had wisdom, but he couldn't trample on their dignity like this!
And as the leader of the Wei Family Disciples, shouldn't he be leading by example?
Thinking this, the Wei Family Disciples one after another spoke up, "Brother Xu, why don't you take the lead? Surely with your intelligence, you can definitely pass the trial!"
"Right, Brother Xu, even without Spiritual Power, you must be able to pass easily!"
"Since you've said we are cowardly, then why don't you, Brother Xu, prove yourself?"
"Could it be that deep down, you're also afraid, Brother Xu? What's the difference between you and us then!"
These words were tinged with considerable dissatisfaction...
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng swept them with a profound look, and coldly said, "Fine! Then I'll go first!"
With Spiritual Power sealed, using force to compel these Wei Family Disciples to risk their lives trying was clearly no longer possible!
If he wanted to survive, it was up to him now!
As he spoke these words, the disciple beside him had a moment of focus, as if he had made a decision...
With a hint of fatal resolve, he spoke up, "Brother Xu, you mustn't, if something happens to you, we of the Wei Family Disciples will be headless! Let me go first!"
The sudden outburst from the disciple surprised Xu Sheng, a hint of astonishment showing on his face...
His expression then returned to normal as he responded indifferently, "Very well! You go first!"
The disciple nodded, then took a deep look at the Wei Family Disciples, who were staring at him in disbelief...
Following that, he stepped forward to the front of the Magma Flow Region, took a deep breath, and after suppressing the fear in his heart, he leaped down...
Watching this, the Wei Family Disciples couldn't help but gasp...
They shouted one after another, "This guy must be crazy! Charging in without knowing anything, it's downright suicide!"
"Exactly! Maybe we should wait here a bit longer; otherwise, we'll lose half of our people before we even get the chance to leave,"
"I'm afraid he'll soon be turned to ashes by the lava, eh!"
Xu Sheng's eyes were fixed on the disciple's figure, speechless…
The disciple's movements were incredibly agile; without any hesitation, he leaped across dozens of stone pillars in a row, without a single mistake!
But as he drew closer to the opposite shore, the stone pillars became smaller, some shrinking to the size of a palm!
This caused his face to gradually grow solemn, and his speed slowed significantly, but he was still stable…
However, just when he thought he would make it across safely, trouble suddenly erupted!
From above, a chorus of shrieks pierced the air as countless bats hidden in the shadows, as if startled, began to flap their wings…
It seemed they had sensed the Wei Family Disciple's location, and ominously, they bared their fierce fangs…
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"
They then unleashed a barrage of arc-shaped attacks, relentlessly bombarding the disciple…
Seeing these assaults coming, the disciple couldn't help but exclaim, "What? There are monster bats here!"
Immediately regaining his composure, he darted back and forth on the fragments of stone, trying his best to dodge…
But how could he easily evade such a concentrated attack? In his blind spot, several hits struck his right arm directly…
He felt a surge of excruciating pain, lost his balance, and fell backward…
Just as he was about to plunge into the ashen-hued lava…
Feeling his body descending slowly, his eyes were filled with unwillingness…
No, I can't die here!
In that moment of desperation, he reached out his hands, and his limbs wedged between the rocks, momentarily maintaining his balance and halting his descent…
Then, with a forceful effort from his chest, he stood back up…
The disciple who had narrowly escaped death felt even more weighed down...
So, instead of rushing forward, he stood still, gasping for air and fixing his gaze on the bat swarm above…
Unbeknownst to him, this scene had dazzled the observers from the Wei Family…
Their eyes widened in disbelief as they exclaimed…
"Oh my God, how did we never realize he was so powerful before? He was almost engulfed by the lava! Yet he managed to survive against all odds!"
"Hiss… I would have never thought he wouldn't fall under those circumstances, that's almost unreal! No, it's amazing, isn't it?"
"Although he survived for the moment, with the harassment of those bats above, is it possible for him to make it through?"
"It doesn't seem very likely; the bat swarm's attacks are too dense. Without the aid of Spiritual Power, it's nearly impossible to dodge them!"
Xu Sheng, having witnessed all of this, nodded silently in approval…
Even he had to admire the disciple's actions in the face of near death…
But merely by this standard, it's doubtful he'll make it through…
