The Wang Clan Master’s face was grave, and the Lord of the Holy Saint Temple was anxious.

However, the Mistress of the Greatest Saint Lady Temple was visibly agitated. She had personally proposed Saint Lady as her candidate!

If any problems arose, the Greatest Saint Lady Temple would be hit hard. Then, they could forget about fighting for the position of the Sect leader that year. All the preparations they had made would have come to nothing.

“This does not make any sense,” the Wang Clan Master said in exasperation. “If one of them had come across any danger in a dream, it may still be probable. However, the trio entered different dreams. How come they were all hurt at the same time? Something unexpected must have happened.”

The Lord of Holy Saint Temple couldn’t hide his annoyance and said, ” Why didn’t you say earlier that there could be a danger within the dream? ”

The Wang Clan Master looked at him for a while and replied, “The probability of this happening is extremely low. Usually, you can get out of the dream before you get hurt. I have never seen a case where they seem to be trapped in the dream by some kind of force.”

The Lord of the Holy Saint Temple was still angry, but the Mistress of the Greatest Saint Lady Temple was much more composed. She calmly said, “Wang Clan Master, do you know how to wake them up?”

This was the top priority now!

Everyone was anxious as they stared at the Wang Clan Master. He was the expert, so maybe there was some special method that he knew of to resolve the situation.

However, all they got was the Wang Clan Master shaking his head gently, “They are trapped in the dream, and we cannot use external forces to wake them. As I said before, if we force it, they might end up in a coma forever!”

On hearing this, everyone in the room was taken aback. Did it mean that the three of them were as good as dead?

“It is impossible to wake them up, but there may be another way to save them,” the Wang Clan Master said. “If a fourth person enters the dream and helps them ward off the danger, only then they might be saved.”

Upon hearing this remark, everyone was encouraged for a moment until they realized there was a problem.

The difficulty was something they had witnessed with their own eyes. The suitable candidates had already tried it. They had difficulty enough coming up with three people. Now, where were they going to find the fourth?

Moreover, that person must be more powerful than those three, otherwise, it would all be in vain.

Where to find such a person?

An atmosphere of desperation enveloped the hall!

Buzz!

At that moment, a barely noticeable vibration echoed from the corner.

But the people present were so distracted they didn’t notice it.

“We can only submit to the will of Heaven!” The Wang Clan Master went silent for a long time, sighing deeply. He felt helpless and sorry as he looked at the mist around their foreheads, the black thread was multiplying fast.

The Mistress of the Greatest Saint Lady Temple sat down, her old face was now filled with sorrow, and her whole being seemed to have aged ten years.

After so many hardships, it had not been easy to overcome the challenges of Holy Son Hall. Just when there was some hope of fair competition, tragedy had struck.

Recalling all the hard work in her life, the Mistress of the Greatest Saint Lady Temple suddenly felt tired. She sighed and closed her eyes slowly as if she was about to fall into a deep sleep.

The Lord of the Holy Saint Temple sighed and started to complain, “If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have been so anxious!”

His concern was mostly about the waste of the Eyes of Red Dust, not whether Zeng Lin would survive or not.

At that moment, a young boy happened to glance at Su Yu. He was stunned and rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Once he was sure of what he saw, he screamed out loud, “Ah! Look at Su Yu! His halo has crossed the fourth notch! ”

What? When those words came out, it was like thunder had shaken the quiet world.

When everyone looked, they saw that the green bronze ruler that Su Yu had in his palm had been activated. The red halo it produced had already crossed the fourth notch without them noticing it!

“What?” The Mistress of the Greatest Saint Lady Temple, who had just fallen asleep, woke up immediately after hearing the good news.

She sat up abruptly and walked through the crowd in the direction of Su Yu. Staring at the ruler, her old face appeared happy and excited, “Now Xueyi can be saved!”

The Wang Clan Master had an inquisitive expression and inspected the ruler over and over again, then finally said, “A pink halo? This is unheard of!”

The halos described in the records were all yellow or pale yellow. It was the first time he had seen such a pink halo!

“No matter what color it is, as long as this kid meets the requirement for Red Dust Dream, it is all good!” A sign of hope appeared on the face of the Lord of the Holy Saint Temple.

With a higher score than the three of them, and with the qualification of the Red Dust Dream, was not Su Yu the perfect candidate?

Wang Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief, but he sneered at the words of the Lord of the Holy Saint Temple, “Who said we couldn’t count on Su Yu? Who said that we can only rely on ourselves when we are going through a difficult time? Who said that Su Yu continuing the test was a waste of time and suggested waking him up? And now you suddenly appreciate him and need his help? ”

Many people were starting to defend Su Yu and started whispering to each other.

“Hehe, based on shamelessness, the Lord of the Holy Saint Temple is second only to Chu Long of the Chu Clan!”

“Look at these double standards! When he was looking down on Su Yu, he was full of insults and as soon as he needs Su Yu’s help, he shamelessly applauds him. He’s so crafty and two-faced.”

Meanwhile, the Lord of the Holy Saint Temple could only smile sheepishly. The main thing was that Su Yu could save Zeng Lin. It did not matter what the outsiders said.

“Wang Clan Master, does this pink halo also mean that he is compatible with Red Dust Dream? the Mistress of the Greatest Saint Lady Temple said.

The Wang Clan Master nodded, “Of course! Although I don’t know what the pink halo means, it has crossed the fourth notch. But without doubt, he has fully met the requirements of the Red Dust Dream!”

“Wait! The halo has not stopped!” the Wang Clan Master shouted.

Everyone was startled and stared, the pink halo was indeed moving forward steadily at a slow speed!

After ten breaths, in a burst of exclamation from the crowd, it broke past the fifth notch!

“The fifth notch!” the Wang Clan Master exclaimed in astonishment. “This man’s spirit power would not be enough to reach such a level. It must be the Red Dust heart. He has a very deep emotional bond!”

“Look! It has accelerated!” everyone exclaimed again.

As the pink halo crossed the fifth notch, its speed did not decrease and instead soared to the sixth notch in a matter of moments.

Witnessing such a remarkable sight, the Wang Clan Master felt at a loss, “How could this be?”

Pew!

With a soft sound, the pink halo broke through the sixth notch!

Furthermore, its speed continued to soar!

The audience was dumbfounded.

Compared with the previous candidates, Su Yu’s assessment was simply out of this world.

They even doubted that the same level of assessment had been used for him.

Pew!

There was another soft sound, and the seventh notch was also passed!

The Wang Clan Master’s eyes were wide open and stared at the scene in disbelief.

However, the halo did not stop but continued to climb at an even faster rate.

“The eighth notch!” someone screamed.

At that moment, it was the Wang Clan Master who could not help but exclaim, “This is the highest notch that has ever been attained by the ancestors who created the Red Dust Dream!”

But what really shocked him was that the speed of the pink halo showed no signs of decreasing and it continued to soar!

Further up, would be the ninth notch which no one had ever achieved before!

Pew!

With a clear sound similar to a silver bell, the ninth notch was passed!

The pink halo came straight out of the ruler, landed on the back of Su Yu’s hand, and condensed into a pink cloud shape.

“The…the ninth notch!” The Wang Clan Master’s voice could not help but shake.

An astonishing spectacle had appeared right before his eyes. Even for a man of his stature, he couldn’t hide his excitement.

A level of suitability that even the ancestors had never achieved had been reached by a person from the God Realm!

The audience was silent as they stared at the scene in disbelief.

Slight tingling in the chest woke Su Yu up gradually, and his eyes still had remnants of his reminiscence.

His deepest feelings were for Xian’er and Xia Jingyu.

Xian’er was beside him, but Xia Jingyu was far away beyond the horizon, and he did not know where she was.

Opening his eyes, Su Yu’s consciousness gradually returned to reality. He looked at the ruler in his palm and realized there was no halo on it.

A deep disappointment lingered in his heart. Had he failed? In the end, his soul was too weak. Even if he had a good heart, it had not been strong enough to activate the ruler.

With some bitterness in his words, Su Yu gave Wang Clan Master a cupped fist and said, “I have caused you unnecessary trouble, wasting both your precious time and your valuable tools.”

Wang Clan Master was a clever man. He stepped forward and took Su Yu ‘s right palm and turned it over to examine the pink mark.” The mark of the ninth notch is undeniable, but, what does this pink cloud mean?” he asked.

The rest of them were similarly amazed and stepped forward to see what was going on.

Su Yu was at a loss, and murmured, “I broke through the ninth notch?”

The Wang Clan Master laughed, “Hahaha! Yes, you are compatible with the requirements of the Red Dust Dream. In other words, this pill is specially made for your indelible heart! I dare not imagine what will happen after you swallow it! ”

Su Yu was stunned. “How about them?” he exclaimed. “They should have similar results to me!”

After hearing that, everyone could not help but feel embarrassed for the trio. Similar? The differences were incomparable!

The Wang Clan Master said with a smile, “Su Yu is exceptionally talented. He has exceeded everyone’s expectations!”

Everyone could not help but recall what Cai Lin had said. For Su Yu, there was nothing impossible in the world.

Even though he had not reached the realm of the deities, he had successfully reached the three notches which many Level Three wizards had failed to attain. Furthermore, he had set a new record in his very first attempt!

Although they were all visibly surprised, they quickly snapped back to reality.

The Wang Clan Master’s smile gradually dissipated, and his expression became stern as he pointed to Xueying and the rest.

Su Yu looked at them and could instinctively sense that the black threads were not good.

As expected, the Wang Clan Master told Su Yu what had happened.

After listening to him, Su Yu understood what was expected of him, that he would enter their dreams and rescue them.

The Mistress of the Greatest Saint Lady Temple cupped her hands, “I urge Sir Su to rescue Xueying. I will not forget this and will be forever indebted to you for your chivalry.”

Su Yu quickly waved his hand, “Please rise temple Mistress. Xueying and I are friends. Even if you had not asked me, I would always do my best to save her from the dream!”

On hearing that, the Mistress of the Greatest Saint Lady Temple was greatly relieved and looked at Su Yu with a warm expression. No matter how you looked at it, Su Yu was indeed the most outstanding young man. If Saint Lady was married to him, it would truly be a blessing for her.

“Please lend us a helping hand. After all, this is about the life and death of the Wizard Tribe,” the Lord of the Holy Saint Temple humbly said.

Su Yu interrupted him, “I will be going to rescue them as a friend, I hope that the Lord of the Holy Saint Temple will forgive me. ”

The Lord of Holy Saint Temple’s face suddenly changed and said coldly,” What on earth do you mean?”
