With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods
358 Tournament (3)
No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't put his finger on where he had seen this girl before.
The girl walked up to the boulder and simply stood in front of it as she raised a fist.
The crowd watched her as she did this, but there was a clear lack of enthusiasm compared to before.
Even if she was a seeded contestant, when compared to Mo Tie's performance, many people didn't expect much from her. So there was a clear difference in enthusiasm from the crowd.
If she was beautiful, then perhaps there would be people who would care more, but she was just normal looking so that people couldn't get excited about this.
Still, since she was a seeded contestant, people still paid attention to the results of her test.
When she was standing there in front of the boulder, the girl didn't punch out even though her fist was raised. Instead, she turned and looked at the crowd, specifically she turned to look at Mo Tie.
Mo Tie couldn't help being taken aback when he saw her looking at him like this, but he still had a strong look on his face when he faced her gaze. But for some reason, he couldn't help feeling pressure from this girl as she looked at him.
It was as if there was some innate fear towards this girl inside of him.
The girl just revealed a simple smile that had a bit of a challenging tone to it before turning back to the boulder.
Then with what seemed like a very relaxed punch, her fist slowly made its way over to the boulder and then it seemed to tap it without any force. The boulder itself didn't even seem to react when it was tapped by this small fist at first, but then…
The boulder suddenly started to shake intensely before rolling out from the stand that it had been put in.
When the boulder started rolling, the people who were in the way immediately jumped out of the path. If they had reacted even a second slower, they might have been crushed by the giant boulder that had been rolling at them.
The giant boulder kept rolling without stopping until it finally hit the wall of the arena.
This arena had been built with the audience seats elevated and there was a wall surrounding it, so it was more like a gladiator fighting arena instead of an actual fighting stage.
When the giant boulder slammed into the wall of the arena, there were cracks that immediately formed in the wall in a spider web shaped fashion. However, it was a good thing that it didn't crack completely and was able to resist the force of the giant boulder in the end.
The audience who had been sitting there couldn't help patting their chests when they saw this.
If it was any stronger, it would have destroyed that wall and would have even hurt them.
After the loud sound that came from the boulder slamming into the wall, there was only silence that followed as no one knew what to do.
In the end, it was the ranking expert who came over to the boulder to examine it.
He was a professional, so he would stick to his principles and judge it fairly.
When he came over, he pushed the boulder so that he was able to see the side that the girl's hand had made contact with. However, when he rolled it over, he was shocked by what he saw.
The boulder had cracked!
There were cracks running along the side of the boulder in the shape of a spider web, just like the cracks on the wall.
This shouldn't be possible at the level of the contestants of this tournament since this boulder was strong enough to stop the attacks of even those in the Peak Foundation Realm…
So for it to crack like this, that meant that casual tap from the girl had exceeded the limits of the Foundation Realm!
As he stared at the boulder, he didn't even know what to say since he couldn't judge how powerful this was. He hadn't actually been able to keep up with the vibration in the boulder when she tapped it, so he had been hoping to see if it left some trace so he would be able to judge.
But now…he was speechless.
The crowd also saw the cracks on the boulder and they couldn't help being shocked by it.
Even Mo Tie, who they thought was the strongest, hadn't been able to make any cracks on this boulder…But now there was this girl who came out of nowhere who was able to do something like this.
After seeing this, the girl just simply turned around and walked away.
Unlike the others who left the stage before her, she didn't even bother looking back and walked out of the arena as if she was confident that she would make it.
But in truth, there was solid reasoning behind this confidence.
As she walked out though, she peeked at something out of the corner of her eyes.
It was two people who were sitting at the edges of the crowd who both had cloaks covering them.
When she did this, Lin Fan also felt a feeling fall onto him.
This feeling was very familiar and he finally realized why he thought he recognized this girl.
It was because…she was similar to the girl he had saved on the street the other day.
He knew that she wasn't simple, but to think that she was this not simple…
As for the three young masters who were sitting there with stunned looks…they didn't remain sitting there any longer since they knew that they would be embarrassed just sitting there.
The three of them just suddenly stood up and left in a huff, but they acted like they were calm and were leaving to take care of another matter.
But it was clear that their pride had been hurt.
As for the rest of the seeded contestants, they revealed bitter smiles.
After the performance of this girl, it was inevitable that people would compare them to her. However, they knew that it was impossible for them to crack this boulder like that girl had done, so all that would happen is that they would disappoint people.
This would be a large blow to their egos, which they couldn't accept.
However, it wasn't as if they could avoid taking this preliminary test since they had to do it to participate in the tournament.
So they were just stuck there between a rock and a hard place.
As for the organizer side, they were facing a problem as well.
With the boulder cracked like this, there was no doubt that they wouldn't be able to use it again for what they had been using it for. If they did keep using it, it was very likely that someone would crack it since it wasn't as strong as before.
There was no way to get an accurate reading with this cracked boulder.
The problem was that they didn't have a replacement for this thing.
If they didn't have a replacement, then they wouldn't have a way to conduct the preliminary test.
Just that one blow from that girl had thrown everything into chaos.
But luckily there was someone who had a solution.
There was a person that jumped down from one of the VIP seats and with a flick of his hand, there was a large pillar that appeared.
No one stopped this person from jumping down since they all recognized him.
This person was the City Lord of this Floating Seed City.
After he made the pillar appear, he said in a loud voice, as if he was saying it for everyone, "We'll be using this pillar instead of the boulder now. I hope that everyone can accept this arrangement."
Since the City Lord had spoken, there was nothing for anyone to say.
Not to mention that anyone who was anyone could tell that this pillar wasn't a normal item.
When they used their spiritual senses on it, they felt the feeling of rejection.
This thing was so hard that even their spiritual senses couldn't penetrate it.
That just went to show how special this item was.
But at the same time, the seeded contestants couldn't help revealing bitter smiles again.
They could tell that this thing was actually harder than the boulder that they had been using before, which meant that the test had actually become harder.
With how hard this thing was, it would be even harder for them to create vibrations in it.
The City Lord naturally also knew this, but he had no choice since the boulder couldn't be used. He could only internally apologize to these seeded contestants and hope that they wouldn't hold a grudge.
The rest of the preliminary test went as one would expect.
The seeded contestants never got results as good as even Young Master Tai, but the results that they got were much higher than the average contestants.
So all of them smoothly made it into the next round.
As for the normal contestants…there were some that weren't even able to create any vibrations in this pillar.
They might have been able to create some vibrations if it was the boulder, but this pillar was just too hard for them.
So in the end, they couldn't do anything as they were eliminated from the tournament on the spot.
By the end of the day, there were many more people who were disappointed by their results than there should have been.
