Originally, just as Ashi walked past eighty meters, Su Chen suddenly made his move.
With each step his sole made on the carbon bridge, his body would advance by a dozen feet or so.
Moreover, when his foot touched the burning carbon, it wasn't charred like Ashi's.
It was as if he wasn't stepping on the burning carbon at all.
In fact, Su Chen wasn't stepping on the burning carbon.
He used Sky Crossing.
Every step he took was actually on the void, but it looked as if he was stepping on the burning carbon.
In just over ten steps, he had crossed the carbon bridge.
It took him ten seconds.
Whereas for Ashi, ten seconds only allowed him to walk ten meters.
So, unintentionally from Ashi, Su Chen had already finished the challenge.
This challenge, Su Chen was somewhat cunning.
If it were a farther distance, or a place higher from the ground, Sky Crossing couldn't have been used.
Not only did he cross the carbon bridge faster, but his feet were only slightly reddened by the burning carbon.
With so many eyes watching, Ashi had no choice but to admit defeat.
"Ashi, are you alright!" Atu looked at Ashi with some concern.
"I'm fine!" Ashi snorted coldly, and shot a cold glance at Su Chen, saying, "Next time, you won't have such a chance, I'll watch you take the challenge myself."
Su Chen shrugged his shoulders, signaling whatever you say.
The second challenge was even more terrifying than the first.
To fish out three small copper coins from boiling hot oil, what a daunting task.
Moreover, with the pot having a diameter of a whole meter, that means one must immerse at least half an arm to possibly touch the copper coins.
And then to fish them out, just thinking about it feels terrifying.
You see, normally when frying dishes, getting splashed by hot oil hurts like hell.
And those splashes of oil, once they enter the air, their temperature already markedly decreases.
This challenge occurs sequentially.
As long as you fish them out, the challenge is considered successful, without a time limit.
Actually, this lack of a time limit is more terrifying than the first challenge.
Because if you spend a minute to fish out the copper coins, your hand will be fried for a minute.
Spend ten minutes to fish them out, and it will be fried for ten minutes.
Let's not even talk about ten minutes; probably in five minutes, the entire arm could be fully cooked.
"I'll go first!" Having lost the last round, Ashi decided to redeem his reputation in the second.
Su Chen spread his hands and made a gesture for Ashi to proceed.
Facing the continuously bubbling hot oil, Ashi swallowed his saliva.
But still, he resolutely dipped his hand into the pot.
A scene usually seen when frying chicken legs appeared.
Many of the timid girls couldn't bear to watch this bloody spectacle.
Even Ashi showed a hint of pain on his face.
You should know, when he crossed the carbon bridge earlier, he didn't even frown.
Ashi's hand had been in the scorching pot for more than ten seconds, but he still hadn't fished out the copper coins.
From the pot, wafts of fried chicken aroma started to emanate.
However, Lin Xi, Aduo, Zhao Di, and others looked tense.
They continually prayed in their hearts, hoping for failure, definitely hoping for failure.
Alas, the heavens did not hear the prayers of the ladies.
In about thirty seconds, Ashi fished up the three copper coins.
His entire forearm had turned a golden yellow and was trembling continuously.
After the copper coins were fished out, his fingers couldn't even hold onto them, and the coins fell to the ground.
But still, this was considered a successful challenge.
"Ashi, challenge successful!" Big Landlord announced.
"It's your turn!" Ashi hummed softly, his gaze turning towards Su Chen.
This challenge required one to dip their hand into the pot, so Su Chen had no chance to play any tricks.
Everyone was looking at Su Chen, unsure if he could succeed in the challenge.
But this challenge was too terrifying.
Even if he succeeded, his hand would be ruined.
However, Su Chen's performance was completely unexpected to everyone.
"I concede in this challenge," Su Chen said rather bluntly.
He conceded directly!
Everyone was extremely astonished.
No one expected Su Chen to concede.
Not daring to challenge would be very embarrassing, but Su Chen conceded, not because he didn't dare to, so it wasn't embarrassing.
"What!" A Shi widened his eyes in shock.
Although Su Chen's concession meant that he had won this challenge,
he couldn't feel happy at all.
He wanted to see Su Chen being deep-fried.
But Su Chen had conceded directly.
In fact, Su Chen had planned to concede from the start.
He wasn't foolish enough to stick his hand into boiling oil.
After all, there was still a third round to compete in.
A Shi was extremely angry.
Since you wanted to concede, why didn't you do it earlier? Why wait until after his challenge was successful?
He got deep-fried for nothing.
Seeing Su Chen concede directly, the women finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But they quickly became more worried.
A Shi and Su Chen each won one round, making it a draw.
To decide the winner, they had to face the final challenge.
This challenge wasn't as bloody as the previous two, but it was the most dangerous.
Once buried alive, it's impossible to endure even a day, let alone seven days and seven nights.
These three challenges were prepared for the most vicious criminals.
Naturally, they weren't supposed to easily pass the challenges.
"Are you sure you want to proceed with the third challenge?" the Big Landlord asked with a grave face.
Although, the third challenge provided a whistle for the challenger. As soon as one couldn't endure any longer, one could blow the whistle, and people outside would dig them out.
But once buried, with a severe lack of oxygen, many failed to have the strength to blow the whistle as the challenge progressed.
Thus, this challenge was very dangerous.
"Very well, remember, if you feel you can't endure any longer, you must blow the whistle in advance. If you don't blow the whistle, we will not dig you out," the Big Landlord cautioned both.
This challenge ended when the challengers blew the whistle.
Thus, if the whistle wasn't blown, the challenge would continue indefinitely.
Even if the other party had already conceded.
The two stood in front of the pre-dug pits.
A Shi looked coldly at Su Chen, raising his hand and gesturing across his neck.
His intentions couldn't be clearer.
In this match, he wanted Su Chen dead.
"I, I can't do this!"
"Dirty woman, if you dare not listen to me, I will sell Zhao Di to the city!" A Tu coldly told the woman in front of him.
"Please, don't, she is your daughter too."
"Hmph, as long as you obey, Zhao Di will be fine, otherwise, hmph!" After saying this, A Tu walked out of the cabin.
