Chapter 139: Overcome Self
ps: (Thanks to my friends who dreamed of the Tao for their rewards! Today’s third update is here! I wish you all a happy weekend!)
Just in the trial space, when the disciples who passed the level were fighting fiercely with their own illusions, the ancestors of the Eight Peaks outside the space were paying attention to the large map of the trial space hanging in the hall.
Now, their eyes were all staring at the trial tower in the core area of the middle of the big map.
Now, there is no light on the fourth floor. Those disciples have either passed through the fourth floor and started to enter the fifth floor to fight the illusion, or they can no longer stand the tempering of their will, so they simply teleported out.
There are less than twenty light spots that are still flashing on the fifth floor of the trial tower. They are still disappearing one by one, which shows that in the battle between the fifth floor and one's own illusion, the disciples did not have any breakthroughs in magic, and they could not compete for twice their spiritual power as much as their own illusion, and finally they were defeated one by one.
Zilou looked at the situation in front of him and frowned slightly, "There is two hours left, and the big test will be over! It seems that all those who entered are stuck on the fifth floor of the trial tower!"
"Well! The original illusion of the fifth level is not easy to pass. Although there are many situations in the battle to break through the realm. But it was only after many battles that it was possible to break through by chance in a certain battle. How can one understand it by feeling it, and break through it by breaking through it." The ancestor Tianming also touched his long beard under his jaw and said lightly.
"Yes! I had tried a lot of effort to get through it back then. If it weren't for this, I would have been about to understand the third level of the Ghost Flame Sword Technique, and I'm afraid I would not have been able to break through in the battle. Such an opportunity is rare in a century!" The ancestor Tianyou also pursed his lips and smiled sweetly.
"The difficulty of the fifth level is: the spiritual power that replicates the illusion is twice that of the cultivator's own spiritual power. And all the recovered pills and spiritual wine are carried as much as they do. In this way, it is indeed difficult to pass. This is a big test that requires a ranking. It seems that it can only be determined by who stays on the fifth level for the longest time!" After looking at the big map, the ancestor of Demon Yin sighed.
"Well! Now everyone has entered the fifth level to start fighting. According to our previous experience, in such a huge battle with huge spiritual power consumption, the winner will be decided within two hours at most. At that time, you can see who fights with the illusion. It can last longer!" The ancestor of Tianxie also nodded slightly and said. Now there are four people living in Tianxie Peak, and this number accounts for one-sixth of the total number of people living in the fifth level. Although it is not as many people as Tianyou Peak, it can rank second compared to other peaks.
At this moment, Zilou suddenly screamed: "Someone has crossed the fifth floor! It's from Tianyou Peak!"
The ancestors' eyes immediately turned to the trial tower. A purple light spot had appeared in the sixth floor.
"It seems that the number one potential disciple in this generation is probably the one from Tianyou Peak again!" The ancestor Tianyou looked at his pretty eyes, and the cherry mouth opened lightly under the thin veil, and spoke like a pearl.
She knew very well that the sixth level did not fight, and it was purely necessary to solve problems to test the disciples' understanding ability and understanding. Not to mention these disciples in the Qi Refining Stage, even many disciples in the Foundation Establishment Stage do not know how to solve those problems. Therefore, in this case, according to convention, it is mostly about who enters the sixth level first, who is the first, who enters the sixth level second, which is the second, and so on.
At this moment, the light spots in the fifth level of battle were decreasing sharply, and only seven or eight people survived. But there was a white light spot among them, which made the Demon Soul Ancestor, who originally thought that the Demon Soul Peak had no hope, lit up his eyes.
"Haha! There are also disciples from Tianming Peak who have passed the test! It must be my proud disciple Dai Yingqi! After she comes out, I will definitely take her as a personal disciple!" The ancestor Tianming said happily.
The other ancestors sarcastically sarcastically, but the ecstatic ancestor Tianming didn't care at all.
After a while, the ancestor of the Demon Corpse also slapped the table excitedly, showing a look of surprise on his face because he saw the red light spot representing the Demon Corpse Peak, which also appeared in the sixth floor.
"Hehe! Demon Soul Old Boy, you are sure to lose now!" he thought to himself.
Except for these three ancestors, the other ancestors' expressions became a little unnatural, because it was only one hour before the end of the exam.
At this time, as the light spots on every five layers decreased sharply, after a stick of incense, there was only one white light spot.
"Haha! There is a person in my Demon Soul Peak that has been going on for now. No matter what, he should be the fourth place! Even if he has not become a potential disciple, he will not be at the bottom!" The Demon Soul Ancestor laughed happily at this time.
Although his disciples are not as good as those of the Demon Corpse Peak, they have made a lot of progress compared to the previous several major tests.
"I don't know who this disciple is, I'm afraid it's probably Liu Yang!" The Demon Soul Ancestor thought to himself.
When the ancestors of Tianxie, Tiangui, Moyin, and Demonic Peaks saw that the disciples of the Demon Soul Peak, which had always been at the bottom of the Great Test, had their faces turned pale when they persisted.
The Demon Ancestor roared even more: "I think this white light spot is the last one to enter the fifth floor. I guess it has consumed too much time in front of it. This makes him cheaper, so that he can support it for a little longer on the fifth floor!"
"That's it! Don't be proud of the Demon Soul! The key to the ranking of the Eight Peaks is to see which peak has the most jade pendants. In my opinion, even if your Demon Soul Peak is not the last, I'm afraid it's the second to last!" The ancestor Tianxie said disdainfully.
Tian Xie Peak has always been a regular visitor in the top three of the big tests. This time, he fell behind the Demon Soul Peak in the trial tower competition. How could he not be angry?
Although the ancestors of Tiangui and Moyin Peaks did not speak sarcasticly like the previous two, they also showed contempt in their eyes, believing that the disciples of the Demon Soul Peak were dragged to this point before entering the fifth level, giving people the illusion that he could persist for a long time. They were exploiting loopholes in the rules of the competition.
"But fortunately, the potential disciples only ranked in the top three. Now three disciples have entered the sixth level. His fourth place is actually no different from the last one. It's just that when he passed the fourth level, he caught a high-level magic weapon!" The four ancestors thought in such comfort.
...
At this moment, Jiang Chen and himself had to swing the Yanling Sword with him to copy the illusion. With his huge spiritual power consumption, he had to wave the Yanling Sword Skill and use the Demon Sword Technique.
As expected, this copy of the illusion will also be the Demon Sword Technique. Moreover, the sword moves and power are exactly the same as his. They are all cultivated to the second level and can emit four sword auras at the same time.
Both sides had been in exchange for dozens of rounds, and Fu Lu also fought a lot of Zhang. Jiang Chen's spiritual power had been exhausted once, and it was all up to him to drink a bottle of spiritual wine and a elixir to recover from his spiritual power.
"This copying illusion is exactly the same as my ability. I will meet him in the whole class. Even magical tools, fulu, elixir, and spiritual wine. It is too difficult to win such a even-matched opponent. Is it a competition to consume? But I have already drunk a bottle of spiritual wine, but the other party still has abundant spiritual power and there is no action of drinking spiritual wine. It seems that his spiritual power is really as Luo Jingwen said before. It is twice as good as mine. If you continue to fight like this, at most I will be the one who consumes death in one hour!" Jiang Chen was very anxious.
"It seems that you have to win and find a way to understand it in the battle! But this insight can't be like understanding it just by understanding it or breakthrough it just by breaking it."
"But I discovered one thing. That is, this copying illusion does not have the ability to correct spells. Just like the magic sword technique, he will only know the spells I know before the battle begins."
"And I just discovered a small flaw in the use of the Demon Sword Technique. But I didn't find this copy illusion and still used it as I understood before. It seems that this is my only chance to win!" Jiang Chen thought to himself.
So he focused his attention and carefully observed the flaws of the opponent's use of swordsmanship and spells. After all, this opponent is an enemy exactly the same as himself. His flaws and loopholes are his flaws and loopholes. If he can discover and make up for it, it will be of great benefit to improve his spell mastery and combat skills.
Most people fight against others, and they observe their weaknesses. They rarely find their weaknesses and flaws before suffering a great loss. In fact, it is a rare opportunity to fight against themselves in this way.
As the battle continued to deepen, Jiang Chen felt that the opponent's flaws were increasing, especially in the Demon Sword Technique. There was a flaw that could be said to be fatal, but he had not discovered it before.
"I don't know if it is the wrong record in the sword technique, or the problem with the sword technique itself. When using the "Whirlwind Slash" move, the right hand holding the knife will sag slightly. At this time, the illusion's heart position will be exposed. If you take the opportunity to use a golden thread needle to penetrate the heart, it will be a fatal blow of 9. I will find it in time. Otherwise, if you meet a powerful opponent in the future, he will find my weakness, and it will be difficult to guarantee that I will not die under the enemy's attack... But now, this flaw is my way to win!" Jiang Chen thought to himself.
So he began to use the Demon Sword Technique frequently. Because he found that when he used any moves, the illusion would generally subconsciously use similar moves to resist.
While using the Demon Sword Technique, he picked up the golden silk needle with his left hand, hidden in the palm of his palm, ready to shoot it at any time, giving the enemy a fatal blow.
A moment later, when the opponent showed this flaw again, Jiang Chen was overjoyed and thought to himself that the opportunity had finally come!
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted in a low voice: "Go to die!"
The golden thread needle in his hand flew out like a meteor, drew a golden arc in the air, piercing straight into the enemy's heart...
"Peng!"
"ah!"
A scream like a heart-breaking lung, replicating the illusion, a blood hole the size of a finger was broken into a blood hole the size of a finger, and blood flowed out of the hole like a spring. A golden thread needle penetrated his left chest and drilled out from his back, piercing him into a cold heart.
An unbelievable and unwilling look appeared in the eyes of Phantom, and he slowly fell down.
When Jiang Chen used his left hand to pull out the golden wire needle from his body, he was still scared. After all, this enemy looks exactly the same as himself, and he feels strange that he has killed himself.
At this time, the fallen enemy's body slowly disappeared from the ground. Under the ball room, a cave covered in light white mist was in front of him without any obstruction.
Jiang Chen felt that the spiritual power in his body was also exhausted. He took a deep breath, walked slowly to the entrance of the cave, and then jumped down...
...
"Ah! My disciple has actually passed the fifth level?!" The Demon Soul Ancestor widened his eyes at this time and shouted with an incredible look.
"Demon Soul, aren't you talking nonsense?" The Demon Ancestor snorted coldly. His disciples were all eliminated on the fifth level and were in a bad mood.
After hearing this, the ancestor Tianyou raised his head slightly, glanced at the big map hanging on the wall, and immediately said in surprise: "What? It's really true!"
After saying that, she pointed to the big map with her jade hand and said, "Look!"
The ancestors looked at the big map at this time and were stunned. Because they all clearly saw that a white light spot had entered the sixth floor. There were four light spots on the sixth floor.
"Good boy! Four disciples broke into the sixth floor of this big exam. This is the most common one in the last seven or eighth big exams!" Zilou also said with a look of surprise.
"Brother Zilou, is this a mistake?" The Demon Corpse Ancestor said in a little surprised and unsure: "The disciples of the Demon Soul Peak, whether they enter the fourth or fifth floors, are the slowest ones, which shows that their strength is not very good. But how could they enter the sixth floor in one fell swoop?"
"Demon Corpse, are you afraid that you will lose a bet with me and you will not be ashamed to see others, so you will deliberately slander my disciples!" When the Demon Soul Ancestor heard this, he immediately became furious and said, "I also suspect that your disciples entered the sixth floor because the map display was wrong!"
"Okay! Don't argue with you two. I'll check which disciples entered the sixth floor and it's clear at a glance!" Zilou waved his hand.
As the great elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect, he naturally has the authority to investigate the situation in the trial space.
So he closed his eyes and penetrated his spiritual consciousness into the big map on the wall...
After a while, Zilou Fang suddenly opened his eyes and said, "It has been found out clearly. The first person who entered the sixth floor is Tu Ying from Tianyou Peak, the second person is Dai Yingqi from Tianming Peak, and the third person is Zhao Lin from Demon Corpse Peak. And this fourth person... is Jiang Chen from Demon Soul Peak!"
"What? It's Jiang Chen?" After hearing this, the Demon Soul Ancestor couldn't help but be stunned. This was very different from what he had thought before. The person who entered should be Liu Yang.
Although Jiang Chen was the champion of the small exam three years ago, his cultivation level was too low after all. He almost entered the ninth level of the Qi Refining Period two months before the big exam and barely obtained the reference qualification. In his opinion, he could accumulate some experience in the big exam, so he should not be eliminated as soon as he came. He would never have thought that Jiang Chen could survive until he entered the trial tower, and even passed the hurdles and reached the sixth level.
However, he immediately thought that whether it was Liu Yang or Jiang Chen, they were all disciples of the Demon Soul Peak, and his face was bright when he achieved his achievements. This was a blessing.
The big test will be over in one hour. After the ranking comes out, no matter how many jade pendants Jiang Chen wins, I will give him a foundation-building pill to encourage him! The Demon Soul Ancestor thought to himself.
