"Congratulations, the challenge was a success!"
Just then, the magnetic male voice that had initially appeared suddenly sounded again.
And as his voice ceased, right under Zhu Fei’s feet, a jade box unexpectedly materialized out of thin air.
Zhu Fei was startled by the sudden appearance of the jade box, but as soon as his Divine Sense swept over the box, his expression immediately underwent a slight change.
Because he shockingly discovered that within the box was an extremely precious Level 4 Spiritual Medicine—the Heavenly Origin Flower.
The Heavenly Origin Flower was the main ingredient for refining the Heavenly Origin Pill, which was necessary for breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm. He didn’t expect such a reward after having slain that humanoid puppet.
Without hesitation, Zhu Fei immediately reached out his hand, and the jade box was instantly stored inside his storage ring.
At the same time, the mysterious magnetic male voice resonated once more.
"Are you willing to continue and attempt the second trial? To surpass yourself? Please respond with ’willing’ or ’unwilling’."
Hearing this voice again, Zhu Fei’s brows knitted slightly.
He felt that this place, in every aspect, was shrouded with mystery and strangeness. He did not know what would happen if he continued on this path.
Thus, after pondering for a moment, he finally spoke and asked, "If I choose ’unwilling’, what will be the consequence? Conversely, if I continue the challenge, what benefits will it bring?"
Whether or not the other party would answer his questions, Zhu Fei felt it was necessary to probe first.
Fortunately, this time the voice did not remain silent, nor did it, like the last time, simply prompt him to undergo the trial challenge.
The voice declared, "Hereafter, if you give up the challenge, you will be sent out of the arena, and this place will forever close to you."
After a pause, the voice added, "On the contrary, if you keep challenging and you pass three trials, in addition to the reward for each trial passed, you will earn an opportunity. Please answer, are you willing to continue the challenge?"
The magnetic male voice was already becoming slightly impatient. Zhu Fei had the illusion that the speaker wasn’t just any puppet, but rather an entity with its own consciousness.
Ultimately, he gritted his teeth and resolutely said, "Fine, I am willing to continue the challenge."
"The second trial, the challenge to surpass yourself, will begin soon—please prepare yourself."
The magnetic male voice didn’t mince words and directly initiated the trial combat mode of the second trial.
As a burst of light flashed, a humanoid puppet exactly like the last one appeared before Zhu Fei!
However, this time, the puppet’s cultivation was actually at the Golden Core Sixth Level!
Zhu Fei’s gaze sharpened slightly, and an inexplicable sense of crisis welled up within him.
This time he didn’t wait for his opponent to act; the "Greedy Wolf" sword in his hand was immediately swung out.
Four twisted black lotus Sword Qi unfurled, striking the humanoid puppet from four different directions at the same time.
The humanoid puppet lifted its Flying Sword, swiftly tapping four times in the void.
With four continuous light "ding" sounds, the four waves of Shock Killing Sword Qi that Zhu Fei had unleashed were successively neutralized!
A chill ran through Zhu Fei’s heart.
The strength of this humanoid puppet before him was nearly ten times greater than the previous one.
However, before Zhu Fei could recover from his shock, the humanoid puppet had already unleashed a Flame Sword Qi attack that stretched ten feet long!
"What? This is...? Red as fire! The first movement of the Rainbow Seven Swords!"
Zhu Fei’s pupils constricted sharply, he hadn’t expected that this human-shaped puppet would even imitate his famous killing move from his previous life.
Although with Zhu Fei’s current strength, he could also perform the Rainbow Seven Swords, he had already said that with his Golden Core Third Level cultivation, he could at most release one strike of the Rainbow Seven Swords.
After that strike, most, if not more, of his True Yuan would be consumed, and at that time, his standing would plummet drastically, leaving him completely without the strength to continue battling against the human-shaped puppet before him.
Therefore, before he was certain he could kill his opponent with a single strike, he absolutely could not use the Rainbow Seven Swords.
At the moment, it seemed there was no other choice.
Suddenly, surges of Spirit Light burst forth from Zhu Fei’s body, as his Middle Stage Tyrant Body’s powerful physique was fully activated.
With one hand wielding the "Greedy Wolf" sword and the other swiftly forming hand seals, wisps of pale blue Divine Blue Netherworld Fire abruptly sprung from his fingertips.
The sound of flames burning against each other suddenly rose.
Zhu Fei swung his "Greedy Wolf" sword while flicking strands of Divine Blue Netherworld Fire from his fingertips.
The Heaven and Earth Strange Fire would always be a Heaven and Earth Strange Fire, as soon as Divine Blue Netherworld Fire touched the Long Rainbow First Sword, the crimson flames on it were rapidly devoured, and even its contained suggestions began to crack.
Seizing the opportunity, while the human-shaped puppet had not fully reacted, Zhu Fei, with the power of his Middle Stage Tyrant Body, had already brutally slammed his fist into its chest!
With a "bang," the human-shaped puppet was suddenly sent flying, eventually crashing heavily into the barrier at the edge of the arena!
A crack appeared on the chest of the human-shaped puppet, but Zhu Fei himself did not fare well either.
Despite his powerful physical body, the full force of the punch he threw with his bodily strength still resulted in his punching hand becoming a bloody mess.
Zhu Fei knew that to fight against a human-shaped puppet like the one before him, if he didn’t want to use his Spiritual Power in fusion, he must make a swift decision! There could be no prolonged delay!
So just as the human-shaped puppet was thrown into the air, Zhu Fei charged forward with all his might.
The arena was continuously filled with "boom boom" sounds, as Zhu Fei’s fists relentlessly pummeled the human-shaped puppet, shaking its form constantly.
Finally, Zhu Fei let out a thunderous roar.
"Rainbow Seven Swords! The fifth stance, Blue Fury like Wind!"
In the blink of an eye, several green sword blade storms rose, instantly sweeping the human-shaped puppet into the high sky.
Yet at this very moment, a burst of Flame Sword Qi, even more enormous than before, suddenly descended from the sky, rushing straight toward Zhu Fei!
Zhu Fei only managed to use Divine Blue Netherworld Fire to neutralize a large portion of the Flame Sword Qi, but still, a small half of the Flame Sword Qi followed his body and surged into the meridians throughout his body.
Zhu Fei felt as if all his internal organs were burning, and he experienced pain in his meridians as if they were being torn apart.
He could no longer bear it and suddenly spat out a mouthful of steaming hot blood filled with bubbles.
However, at this moment, the magnetic male voice also rang out.
"Congratulations, you have succeeded in the challenge!"
As this voice fell, Zhu Fei suddenly saw that a Qiankun Bag had appeared under his feet.
Zhu Fei projected his Divine Sense into the Qiankun Bag, first stunned, then immediately overjoyed – because he discovered that the Qiankun Bag contained precisely one thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones!
