C198 Inheritance Hall
C198 Inheritance Hall
When the sun rose to the center of the sky, Puppet Old Man suddenly jumped off the huge rock and landed in the middle of Numerous Practitioners. The huge rock that had been carved with sword marks on Puppet Old Man's back slowly sank into the ground and disappeared.
Lee Shaoyu was practicing his sword in the distance. When he heard Puppet Old Man's voice, he slowly walked back. He did not know what kind of test Puppet Old Man would arrange for them.
After all the Tester had returned to the square, Puppet Old Man said in a deep voice, "After seven days of comprehension. I believe you have some knowledge of my master's swordsmanship, and I will now separate you from each other. There will be some puppets around where you are. You can only use my master's sword techniques to deal damage to these puppets. None of the other martial techniques or Arcane Art will have any effect. Ten minutes later. The ten people who destroy the most number of puppets will pass the test. The next test will begin immediately!"
Puppet Old Man waved his hand after he finished speaking. Numerous Holograms lit up one after another. Each of the Cultivators was sealed in an area, separating all of the Cultivators.
The area several meters around Lee Shaoyu was also sealed by the Holograms. Then, ten black machinists emerged from the ground. Judging from the material, they should be made of a special kind of wood. After the ten machinists appeared, they just stood there quietly without making a single sound.
"It's just these wooden men. I can destroy all ten of them with a single strike of my sword!"
Lee Shaoyu could not help laughing when he saw these machinists. A sword light condensed on his sword and swept towards these machinists. However, the situation of the mechanical puppets being broken did not appear. The sword light on his long sword actually pierced through those mechanical puppets. It did not cause any harm to the mechanical puppets.
"No wonder Puppet Old Man said that other attacks were useless except for his master's sword technique. He does have some skill."
Lee Shaoyu could not help but sigh. It seemed that he could only cut the mechanical men one by one. However, he did not know if the material of the mechanical men was tough or not. How many swords would it take to destroy one of them?
With a flash, Lee Shaoyu came to the side of a machine and slashed at the middle part of the machine. However, Lee Shaoyu did not increase his speed. Instead, he increased the power of the sword to its maximum. As long as he cut off this part, the machine would be completely destroyed.
Lee Shaoyu's sword missed. This mechanical man actually dodged his attack. Moreover, his speed was extremely fast. Lee Shaoyu couldn't help but be shocked. However, Lee Shaoyu immediately understood. It seemed like these machinists were here to test his speed. If he wasn't fast enough, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to touch these machinists. It seemed like he had to show the results of his hard work over the past few days.
At the thought of this, Lee Shaoyu stood still. He instantly swung his sword at a machinist beside him. The sword light was like a bolt of lightning. It was extinguished as soon as it lit up. A sharp sword chime was heard in the air. It was the sound of the blade rubbing and vibrating rapidly in the air.
This time, the machinists didn't manage to avoid it. They were hit by Lee Shaoyu's sword. A deep sword scar was left on the machinists' body. There was even a burnt mark on the edge of the sword scar. It was a high temperature caused by the high speed.
"It seems that the speed of the dummies is comparable to the speed of the first sword scar. As long as I grasp the first sword scar, I should be able to slowly destroy these machine-operated men."
Lee Shaoyu said to himself in a low voice. This was the conclusion he had come to after observing the situation. In that case, I can definitely destroy more mechanical puppets now.
Lee Shaoyu just stood there, raising the speed of his sword swing to the maximum. It was as if he was surrounded by a ball of sword light. Every swing of his sword would leave a deep sword scar on the body of a machinists. Soon, all the machinists around him were destroyed, but then more machinists would emerge from the ground. There was no end to killing them.
However, this also provided Lee Shaoyu with a lot of convenience. Because Lee Shaoyu could only reach this speed with his arm, his body could not reach it. Therefore, he could not swing his sword at such a high speed during the process of moving. Currently, there were many machinists appearing around him. All he needed to do was to stand still and continuously swing his sword, which greatly increased his efficiency of destroying machinists.
Ten minutes was very fast, but Lee Shaoyu felt that it was incomparably long. Every moment he swung his sword at the fastest speed possible. Even if it was only ten minutes, Lee Shaoyu felt a wave of fatigue. Even with Lee Shaoyu's physique, it was difficult for him to continue for a long time.
When the time was up, the Hologram that isolated everyone instantly dissipated. Those machinists sank back into the ground. There was nothing left on the square. It was as if nothing had happened. However, all of the medicinal Cultivators were panting heavily and exhausted. Clearly, the battle just now was not an illusion.
"Everyone is working very hard. Moreover, their performance is not bad. However, I can only choose ten people."
Puppet Old Man's eyes swept across Numerous Practitioners's body. Then, he pointed his finger at everyone. Ten beams of light appeared on his finger and landed on Lee Shaoyu and the others. "The ten of you have destroyed the most traps in the same time. You have passed the test, and the rest have been eliminated."
Lee Shaoyu quickly scanned the ten people who were selected. Other than himself, there were also Yu Mo, the beautiful woman, Lau Siqin, Hsingyue Qing, Lu Lee and Qi Hailiu. He did not know the remaining three people. Two of them came from the Xuandao Sect, and the other one came from the lowest level of power.
"Senior, some of the people you chose are weaker than me. Why did I fail?"
Ke'er of the Roushui Sect couldn't accept this fact and asked Puppet Old Man.
"Strength? Did I say that this is a test of strength? " Although your comprehension ability is sufficient, it isn't suitable for you to cultivate my master's sword technique. This means that you can understand. "
Puppet Old Man smiled gently. Then, his tone suddenly turned cold as he said to Ke'er, "If you say that you are the strongest, I think that none of you are as good as that blue-clothed youth from the Xuandao Sect. But he did not even come in here. I am the rule here."
Ke'er from the Roushui Sect could not help but tremble under Puppet Old Man's gaze. She did not say anything. With Ke'er as a precedent, the rest of the people who were eliminated naturally didn't dare to say anything.
Puppet Old Man waved his hand. Apart from the ten selected people, the rest of the Cultivator lit up a teleportation formation under their feet. No one knew where they were transported to and received the same treatment as Qin Feng.
"All of you follow me."
After sending everyone away, Puppet Old Man turned around and walked forward. Lee Shaoyu and the others followed closely behind him. Facing such a temperamental puppet, they didn't dare to be careless. Puppet Old Man didn't say anything along the way, but at this moment, no one dared to ask. They were afraid that they would anger Puppet Old Man.
After walking for about five minutes, an ancient hall vaguely appeared in front of everyone. Clearly, this was their destination. Lee Shaoyu came to the front of the hall and looked up. He saw a plaque hanging above the hall. On it were written the words' Hall of Inheritance '. Clearly, this was the place where Meteorite Sword carried out the inheritance.
Puppet Old Man stood outside the hall. After pondering for a moment, he said to everyone, "All of you can be chosen by me. Naturally, all of you have comprehended some of the mysteries of my master's sword technique. However, the things you have comprehended are different. Therefore, the number of people who have destroyed the mechanisms is also very high. This is the Inheritance Hall, and there is a test that my master has set up for the selection of disciples. At the same time, it also hides all the secrets of my master's swordsmanship. This hall has a total of ten entrances. Each of you can choose an entrance to enter. "Whether you can obtain the recognition of my master in the end will depend on your own good fortune."
Puppet Old Man waved his hand and ten glowing teleportation formations appeared around the inheritance hall.
"For fairness's sake, the order of our selection will be decided by the number of people who destroyed the mechanisms. The people who destroyed the mechanisms have the most number of people. They can choose the entrance first or enter the inheritance hall as early as possible." Puppet Old Man turned his head and said to the ten people. Then, he pointed at Lee Shaoyu and said, "This kid, you go first."
Although Lee Shaoyu was very unhappy about being called a kid, Lee Shaoyu didn't say anything. He didn't consider it at all. Lee Shaoyu walked straight into the teleportation formation that was facing the center. With a flash of light, he disappeared in front of everyone. The teleportation formation also disappeared.
"Ten minutes later, the second person can enter."
After Puppet Old Man saw Lee Shaoyu enter the inheritance hall, he said to the remaining nine people. The remaining nine people all sat cross-legged quietly. No one dared to question him.
The scene in front of Lee Shaoyu's eyes changed. It had already appeared in the inner space of the inheritance hall. In front of him was a wooden bridge that was a hundred meters away. Below the wooden bridge was a bottomless valley, which made Lee Shaoyu wonder if he had been teleported to the wrong place.
After that, Lee Shaoyu felt relieved. After that, Lee Shaoyu felt relieved. It didn't look very big outside. There must be a spatial formation inside, which was why it was set up.
It seemed that he had to cross this bridge in order to obtain the inheritance. This test seemed to be a little too simple. Lee Shaoyu stepped on the wooden bridge, but as soon as one of his feet touched the bridge, he felt his body suddenly sink.
