Chapter 74: Crushing Checkpoint Clearance (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The next day.
Ye Xuan, Xia Yuning, and the other eight cultivators stood in front of the huge black tower and slowly waited for the door to open.
Ye Xuan’s soul power spread out slightly, and he could clearly sense the cultivation of the people around him.
Among them, the strongest had reached Level 5 of the Foundation
Establishment Realm. The others were basically at the Level 3 or 4 of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Half of them were independent cultivators, and the other half should be disciples of some sects. Ye Xuan checked the other cultivators around him.
Xia Yuning was looking at Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan really did not do anything last night, which surprised her.
“Senior Sister, why are you looking at me like that?”
Ye Xuan naturally sensed Xia Yuning’s peek and chuckled.
“Who’s peeking at vou…”
Xia Yuning blushed and turned her head away slightly, ignoring Ye Xuan.
“Haha!”
Ye Xuan could not help but laugh when he saw how cute Xia Yuning was.
He had not done anything last night, but he had a hard time enduring it.
However, since they were going for battle today, Ye Xuan naturally could not compromise Xia Yuning’s physical condition.
However, it was still very comfortable to hug Xia Yuning’s soft body to sleep.
Rumble—
Everyone did not wait for long before the door under the Black Tower slowly opened.
“Let’s go!”
The others did not hesitate and rushed into the tower.
Ye Xuan and Xia Yuning entered unhurriedly.
After all, no matter who entered first, they would not have any advantage. Whether they could clear the checkpoints depended on their own ability.
“Swoosh—I’
A white light flashed and Ye Xuan found himself in an open space.
Boom!
Before Ye Xuan could react, a demonic beast that was more than four meters tall descended from nowhere.
Looking at the dumbfounded state of that demonic beast, it clearly did not know what had happened.
The demonic beast was covered in pitch-black and hard scales. It looked like an enhanced version of a crocodile and was extremely ferocious.
“Good fellow, it’s actually not a phantom!”
Ye Xuan’s eyes immediately widened.
He had thought that there would be phantoms in this kind of Trial Tower.
He did not expect that suitable demonic beasts would be directly teleported over from within the mystic realm. It was a fierce batch!
The strength of the demonic beasts would change according to the cultivation level of the cultivators, but they would not be much weaker.
Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm had abundant True Essence and could at least pass three to four checkpoints of challenges.
Qi Refinement Stage cultivators only had spiritual energy. After casually releasing seven or eight spells, the spiritual energy in their bodies would be completely exhausted. It was already not bad if they could pass the challenge at one checkpoint.
In the beginning, there were still Qi Refinement Stage cultivators who came in. When there were more people later, naturally the Qi Refinement Stage cultivators did not stand a chance.
“Roar!”
When the demonic beast saw Ye Xuan, it pounced on him.
After all, to the demonic beast, it must be Ye Xuan’s doing for it to appear here for no reason.
No matter what, it had to eat him first.
“Soul-Breaking Needle!”
Ye Xuan smiled coldly and directly used the Soul-Breaking Needle.
“Ao ao ao—l’
In an instant, the demonic beast covered its head in pain and let out waves of miserable cries. It kept rolling on the ground.
“Pfft—
Ye Xuan came to the front of the demonic beast in a flash and pierced its head with his sword.
If he did not have a soul attack, he would have to spend some effort to even deal with this kind of elementary Level 2 demonic beast.
But now, it was basically an instant kill.
This was the terror of a soul attack.
Even if it were an advanced Level 2 demonic beast, Ye Xuan was confident that he could immobilize it, but he could not kill it instantly.
For elementary Level 2, that was not necessarily the case.
Furthermore, the consumption of the Soul-Breaking Needle was not very high. A single attack could only consume 1% of his mental strength. He could recover completely after a short rest.
This was also the result of him constantly cultivating the Deity Visualization these days.
Although the game cheat was good, he still had to work hard.
Yes, he had to work hard to take in concubines.
“Splash—”
Not long after Ye Xuan killed the demonic beast, a huge treasure chest appeared in the center of the square.
“There’s also a reward for clearing the checkpoint?” “Why didn’t Senior Sister Su Rong tell me?”
Ye Xuan was a little curious.
He slowly walked forward and opened the treasure chest. He saw that there was something lying inside…
—a low-grade spirit stone.
“I see…”
Ye Xuan was stunned and understood why Su Rong did not say much about the reward.
It was just one spirit stone. How much could it be worth?
To low-level Qi Refinement Stage cultivators, a low-grade spirit stone was not bad.
However, every Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator had thousands of spirit stones on them. Some had even more than ten thousand.
He had painstakingly killed such a powerful demonic beast and was rewarded with a single spirit stone. This was indeed somewhat stingy. It was not even enough to recover the True Essence in his body.
[Do you want to proceed to the next checkpoint?]
At this moment, a strange voice suddenly sounded in the large open space and clearly entered Ye Xuan’s ears.
“Yes.”
Without hesitation, Ye Xuan chose to continue clearing the checkpoints.
Swoosh!
Another white light flashed, and another demonic beast appeared. It was a ferocious tiger covered in white fur.
The sharp teeth were even thicker than the young man’s arm.
Although it was still an elementary Level 2 demonic beast, it was much stronger and more aggressive than the earlier one.
“Swoosh—” “Howl!!” “Pfft—
“It’s indeed a little fierce. The kill took an extra second.”
Ye Xuan put away the blood-stained sword and let out a deep breath.
Then.
The third checkpoint.
Swoosh!
The demonic beast suddenly appeared, still in a daze.
Before the demonic beast could react, its head hurt and it died. This time, Ye Xuan did not even give the other party a chance to react..
