Chapter 55: Xuanjian City Shakes
As the sky gradually darkened, more and more people entered the trial space.
However, a group of people had already been eliminated.
Failing to last even ten minutes for ten consecutive times, it was meaningless for cultivators of this level to enter the final trial.
For them, it felt like a nightmare.
There were also many who passed, with Lin Qiuxian being the fastest.
Not only did he pass on his first attempt, but he also killed his opponent with only three swords.
Of course, not every Immortal Sect Disciple was as smooth as him.
【Enemy: Qi Training Ninth Level Sword Cultivator, Tai Xu Sword Canon (Beginner), Flowing Cloud Swordplay (Minor Accomplishment)】
【Objective: Kill】
Jiang Yujiu couldn't help but fall silent as she watched the phantom of the Sword Cultivator stepping towards her.
Setting aside how disadvantageous it was for a low-level Charm Cultivators to fight a Sword Cultivator, this thing didn't even have a face. Could her charm techniques even work on him?
This isn't fair!
She was filled with grief and indignation.
"The trial I designed will not have any unfair situations," Xu Xing's eyes flowed with countless images.
Not only were the opponents drawn by each person completely random, but their temperament and soul strength were also at a normal level, using Fang Lin as the reference standard.
Therefore, the cultivator phantoms in this trial would feel pain and fear, and mental techniques like charm and illusion techniques would also be effective.
"Shishu, what are you pondering now?"
Chi Jiuyu came down from the second floor. She had just communicated with her lifebound sword in the Mystic Realm for a while, then spent half the day browsing the Spiritual Net, but didn't find anything interesting.
Feeling bored, she came down, only to see Xu Xing leaning motionlessly on the sofa.
"You want to know?" Xu Xing turned his head to look at her.
For a moment, their eyes met.
Meeting those eyes flowing with light and shadow, Chi Jiuyu felt a large surge of chaotic information and images flooding into her mind. Her head couldn't help but feel dizzy, and she almost missed a step.
What's going on?
Shishu was definitely stirring up trouble again!
Shaking her head, she quickly ran down the stairs.
"Yes, yes! I want to know!"
"Alright."
Xu Xing pointed a finger, and screens of light rose, automatically adjusting to palm size, overlapping and quickly filling the entire living room. In each screen, someone was battling a cultivator phantom.
Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands?
Chi Jiuyu was dumbfounded. Was Shishu playing this big this time?
"How many people are there?"
"Below the Celestial Transformation Stage, all are included."
"Then if I go to sleep now, will I also..."
"You are excluded."
This was blatant targeting!
Sigh~
It's all because I'm too powerful.
"Eh? Can these old men also participate?"
Chi Jiuyu pointed to a palm-sized screen on a coffee table.
Inside was a white-haired old man with age spots on his face, clearly indicating damage to his Foundation.
But his spear technique was incredibly sharp, piercing and exploding the opposing Fa cultivation phantom with just a few thrusts.
"Below the Celestial Transformation Stage, all are allowed."
............
The same thing happened at Xiao Fan's home.
"Dao Brother's personality is still so overbearing."
Huo looked at Xiao Fan, who had also entered the trial, and smiled helplessly.
As expected, it was basically impossible to get any special treatment from Dao Brother on matters like this.
Although Xiao Fan had gained a trace of the Cang Clan Bloodline, it would take some time for its effects to fully manifest. Coupled with his lack of combat experience, it was indeed possible for him to be eliminated in the first round of the trial.
That would be a bit embarrassing.
Huo looked at him and chose not to interfere.
He could explain supporting him in resuming his cultivation path and participating in Dao Brother's trial by citing the plan to deal with the Cang Clan. But interfering further would be too much.
Now, he could only hope that he wouldn't draw a difficult opponent.
In Dao Brother's trial, the Cang Clan's Luck couldn't play any role.
The first time, Xiao Fan drew a Body Cultivator.
Without surprise, he was directly defeated.
The second time, a Sword Cultivator.
The result was still the same.
The third time, a Charm Cultivators.
Xiao Fan directly ignored the Charm Cultivators's techniques and finally won.
Fortunately, his Luck was also good; he encountered the most suitable opponent on his third attempt.
Huo nodded slightly, then disappeared.
The trial continued. For the cultivators below the Celestial Transformation Stage in Xuanjian City, this was destined to be an extraordinary night.
............
The next day, the entire Xuanjian City was in an uproar.
More accurately, since the latter half of the night, discussions about this trial on the Spiritual Net had not stopped.
If it were only one person or a small group, it would be fine, but the number of people who entered the trial this time was simply too large.
In the Municipal Building conference room, the Celestial Transformation Stage cultivators of Xuanjian City gathered again.
After a night of investigation, the general situation was clarified.
This was a trial involving all cultivators below the Celestial Transformation Stage. Every qualified cultivator would be pulled into a hazy trial space and battle against randomly drawn cultivator phantoms.
The types of these cultivator phantoms were very diverse, including Sword Cultivators, Body Cultivators, Fa cultivation, Charm Cultivatorss, and so on, covering almost all cultivator professions.
There were a total of ten chances, and rankings would be based on the final performance. The top three thousand could enter the second round of trials.
After learning the full news, the Mayor was completely numb. Which Senior was this, playing so big?
What was even more headache-inducing was that the Senior seemed to have no intention of concealing it, so they didn't dare to easily block the news. Now even other cities knew about it.
"How do you all think this matter should be handled?"
No one replied.
No one could give a suitable suggestion. If they acted rashly, what if they angered the Senior? Who would take responsibility then?
Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense.
"You do not need to interfere in this matter."
As the voice sounded, a sword light came from who knows where, landing in the conference room. He had a youthful appearance and wore the uniform of a Sword Sect Elder.
The person who arrived was precisely the Elder Fanxu who was with Li Qingyang.
"Greetings, Senior."
"Greetings, Shishu."
Everyone stood up and bowed, feeling a sense of relief in their hearts.
The person who could solve the problem had finally arrived.
"Is this a trial opened by Senior?" the Mayor quickly asked.
In his opinion, perhaps only Senior Li from the Sword Sect had this ability.
"No, but Shishu Ancestor asked me to relay to you all," the Elder Fanxu scanned everyone, "Rest assured, this trial is not a bad thing."
Actually, Li Qingyang had also gone to observe last night, only to find that he couldn't see through it at all...
After that, Li Qingyang patrolled Xuanjian City again and did not see anyone die because of this. The most serious situation was merely being suddenly awakened.
Moreover, there were no signs of damage to their souls, bodies, or Foundations, which led him to conclude that this sudden trial had no malicious intent.
If it wasn't Senior Li, then who else could have such a grand plan?
But even the person from the Sword Sect said so.
The Mayor bowed.
"Yes, I will obey Senior's command."
Anyway, if something went wrong in the end, as long as he wasn't blamed.

Everyone, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!!
