Chapter 100 - 100: 100, [One Against Nine]
With one swing of his sleeve, dozens of flying swords were each struck out from their hidden locations, a condition never before encountered by the [Turtle’s Longevity].
Not that no one could find them, but there was nobody fast enough, precise enough, or capable of dealing with so many at once!
Outside the stone door, in the distant pool, Elder E, who was half-soaked in the water, turned around. A hint of shock crossed his ugly face, his eyes filled with sparkles.
As the only person on the scene capable of discerning what was happening inside the stone door, Elder E was indeed amazed by Lu Xun’s performance.
“How did this kid do it?” Elder E couldn’t help but be curious.
“Interesting, more interesting than the little girl from the Luotian Sect called Xiao Ran a few days ago!” , he exclaimed.
Elder E had been guarding the [Turtle’s Longevity] , and often found himself bored. Thus, these challengers were his greatest source of entertainment. At this moment, he began to watch Lu Xun’s subsequent actions with great interest.
Inside the stone forest, Lu Xun closed his eyes once again. A few seconds later, he opened his eyes and had “located” all the remaining swords.
His right hand hung down low, hiding his palm inside his sleeve, then stealthily made a move popular among modern people.
He snapped his fingers.
“Snap!”
All of the remaining Flying Swords rose at the sound, then spread out in all directions, all struck away by Lu Xun!
By this point, the first challenge had come to an end.
For Lu Xun, dealing with Mortal Iron was quite easy.
Logically, if he had strolled through the stone forest with a calm demeanor, it would’ve carried a more poetic vibe. But Lu Xun was racing for the leaderboard, therefore, he had to save time and rush forward as fast as possible!
All along the way, there were no longer any hidden flying swords. He successfully rushed out of the stone forest without a hitch.
A man should be quick!
The next moment, a ray of light enveloped him. As the light faded, there was a smaller, circular stone forest in front of him.
This stone forest was less than half the size of the previous one, and it contained only 36 hidden swords.
Lu Xun decisively took a step forward and entered directly.
Unexpectedly, the second challenge was trickier than expected. Just as he stepped in, a unique sword looking like a serpent lunged towards Lu Xun.
With a glance, basic information floated before Lu Xun’s eyes.
[Snake Pattern Sword (Yellow), Inferior].
As expected from the forum posts he had read, all game characters below level ten would encounter Inferior Yellow Martial idols in the second challenge.
However, unlike the first challenge, the swords in the second challenge seemed to fly out directly, but they carried a distinct flavor of swordsmanship moves. It felt as if a Sword Cultivator was directly attacking you!
It was a Yin Move!
“Dammit!” Lu Xun was almost caught off guard, but fortunately he possessed his own[No Sword Domain].
This Snake Pattern Sword was readily repelled by the mini sword in Lu Xun’s Sword Heart, and he pressed on.
Unlike the first challenge, the second challenge had dozens of Mortal Iron which posed no threat to Lu Xun. However, dealing with a group of Inferior Yellow Martial idols was rather difficult.
Because of the mysterious mini sword in his Sword Heart, as a Non-Swordbearer, he indeed possessed a No Sword Domain. However, this domain also had its limits.
Not to mention the Inferior Magical Weapons, he could also influence Superior Magical Weapons, albeit only one at a time.
Applying power in one place was not the same as applying power in ten different places.
The most difficult part was that these swords employed all kinds of sword moves, which was even more difficult to deal with.
If he was certain about facing multiple Inferior Yellow Martial idols simultaneously, he would have stubbornly charged forward. In spite of how many swords were targeting him, he would directly repel them all!
Unfortunately, he was not capable of doing so at the moment.
He estimated that he would be able to repel 6-7 Inferior Yellow Martial idols directly by his own.
“Oh, this upper limit is quite high!” Lu Xun began to hesitate in his heart, wondering if he should risk a chance to find out.
After all, there were only 36 swords hidden in this stone forest. He had just dealt with one, so it should not be possible for a dozen or so swords to suddenly attack him, right?
He did not want to waste a trial opportunity, so he picked up the pace without resorting to directly charging forward.
Directly charging would have attracted multiple Flying Swords at once.
Moreover, Flying Swords were not as easily detectable as Mortal Iron. Lu Xun could locate them if they were close enough, but he had no idea where they were hidden if they were too far away.
“Whoosh—I.
Three Flying Swords rushed out of their hiding places, drawing strange arcs in the air.
If it weren’t for Lu Xun’s transparency of his Sword Heart, he might not have noticed the three swords thrust from behind him!
“This second challenge really starts with an ambush and ends with another!” Lu Xun, who was nearly ambushed, activated the mini sword inside him to strike with full strength, and with a swing of his sleeve, repelled the six Magical Swords rushing from both the front and behind.
Then, he concentrated his gaze, leaped forward, and stretched out his right hand to flick out a Sword Qi which deftly flung to the tip of a Magical Sword emerging from the ground!
“Even in the ground!” Lu Xun was at a loss.
Outside the stone door, Elder E observed Lu Xun’s smooth series of operations and couldn’t help but nod slightly.
“Interesting kid. He’s pretty Smart and his consciousness of the sword is strong.”
“Just not sure how he managed to repel the swords?”
When he thought about this, Elder E couldn’t help but recall the scene when he had first met Lu Xun.
“This kid didn’t have a sword in his hand at all, he was holding Yan Li’s Sword Sheath!”
He was a little curious, where had Lu Xun hidden his sword?
Inside the stone forest, although Lu Xun seemed stable, he was actually pretty tense inside.
The most fearful thing for a schemer was to meet someone even craftier.
With the ability to even hide swords in the ground, who knew where the next Magical Sword could burst out from.
If he was not careful, and did not use the mini sword in his Sword Heart to repel it, or defend with Sword Qi, this trial opportunity would be wasted.
He continued to walk forward, calculating the number of remaining Magical Swords in his mind. When he was about to leave the stone forest, there were still 9 Magical Swords left, lying in wait for an opportunity to strike.
“Here they come!” Lu Xun said to himself.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!”
Nine Magical Swords attacked from nine different angles, giving Lu Xun the feeling that nine swordsmen were attacking him simultaneously.
In fact, it was indeed like that. The nine Magical Swords resembled nine different sword moves; some dominating, some sinister, and some using softness to overcome strength…
What Lu Xun had to do was deal with them all at once!
The mini sword in his Sword Heart trembled violently. The No-Sword Domain was applied to all nine Magical Swords at the same time, which was no longer enough to repel them but could weaken their momentum.
Lu Xun brought his two fingers together, a sharp Sword Qi formed in front of his fingertips, he then swung his arm upwards, his black sleeve was also set in motion, drawing a black arc.
He was ready to take on nine by himself!
To counter the nine Magical Swords with his Finger-tip Sword Qi!
