A crisp clang echoed like a bell.
But the swift and fierce sword only left a white friction mark on her body.
Upon colliding with the sword's edge, Mingxi clearly felt the skin and flesh where she was touched by the blade turn into hard rock.
The sensation was incredibly real.
“So that’s how it is!”
Just as the Ghost Purgatory could temper spiritual power after refinement, enduring the Suffering Sword Senluo's volley of ten thousand swords could temper one's physique.
But the prerequisite should be: no resistance, no fighting!!
“Clang, clang, clang, clang!!”
After the first broken sword, a torrential rain of swords followed.
Under the immense provocation of her willpower, Mingxi unhesitatingly spread her arms.
She couldn't fight at all!
She allowed the increasingly dense sword tips to pierce her body one after another, her senses infinitely magnified.
Mingxi could feel her entire body, including her hair, growing stronger.
Initially, her epidermis turned to rock, then her flesh turned to rock.
“Clang, clang, clang!”
Then it developed into metallization.
...
“...The key to Suffering Sword Senluo is how to restrain the desire to counterattack, because under the influence of Suffering Sword Senluo, the desire to counterattack and fight will be magnified a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times. And at that time, you will feel incredibly powerful, practically omnipotent!”
After leaving Suffering Sword Senluo, Mingxi generously shared the profound mystery of Suffering Sword Senluo with Lin Chen and the other two. freeweɓnøvel.com
This Tower Killing was indeed very interesting.
It blurred one's self-perception, catalyzed and amplified certain emotions, yet within the poisonous flower of intense desire lay sweet and alluring fruits.
To pluck these fruits, the key was not whether one could detect the abnormality of their own emotions, but rather self-control!
“I feel that Suffering Sword Senluo is a bit harder than Ghost {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} Purgatory. Those deliberately induced emotions are truly intense. You can clearly realize that something is wrong with you, but whether you can react and resist that wrongness is a big problem.
And even if you withstand the first sword, the subsequent hundred thousand broken swords will continue to tempt you to strike.”
“This Suffering Sword Senluo doesn't test combat power, but rather one's character and will.”
“But if you can pass the test, the benefits to you will be more useful than ten or eight years of hard physical training!”
Having experienced Suffering Sword Senluo, Mingxi could clearly feel her physical strength had increased.
It was almost a significant leap.
The effect was comparable to simultaneously consuming ten SSS-Rank Body Tempering Potions!
The three of them were both shocked and emotional after hearing her explanation.
“This Tower Killing is truly amazing.”
Indeed, it was amazing.
Who would have thought that a place considered a death trap by the world would hide such an astonishing secret?
Mingxi's dark pupils shimmered with starlight. “Do you think the other dangerous places in Wanmo Territory might also hold unknown secrets?”
“Possibly.”
Lin Chen brought up some matters.
Mingxi was a genius, true, but she couldn't be the only genius in the world. There must have been others who discovered the secrets of the thirteen dangerous places.
For various unspeakable reasons, although these secrets were not widely spread, 'walls have ears, and lurking enemies are near.' No matter how well hidden, they would eventually spread as strange rumors.
And so, those ambiguous legends came to be.
Mingxi then thought of another matter.
If the Tower Killing dangerous place was the remains of a divine Transcendent creature, then what about the others?
“Master, if your guess is the truth of Wanmo Territory, then this Green Field Star is quite extraordinary. It probably existed much longer than your Blue Star.” Guangguang, who was secretly observing, came to this conclusion.
“Who cares!”
Guesses were just guesses. Mingxi had no intention of verifying them.
She wasn't so idle as to bother.
“Fengfeng...”
As the publicly acknowledged unlucky one, not long after Mingxi triggered Suffering Sword Senluo, Chu Fengfeng followed suit and re-enacted history, also triggering Suffering Sword Senluo.
Lin Chen and Chen Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Fortunately, this time Chu Fengfeng managed to endure it herself, though she looked a bit dishevelled.
“I didn't endure the hundred thousand broken swords, at most only a thousand.”
As soon as he came out, he informed them of his situation in Suffering Sword Senluo, and his gaze towards Mingxi held more admiration.
Having personally experienced Suffering Sword Senluo, he understood even more clearly how terrifying Mingxi, who could endure a hundred thousand broken swords, truly was!
She was inhuman!
“Then how did you escape in the end?”
Mingxi had endured the hundred thousand broken swords before leaving the Suffering Sword Senluo, so she truly didn't know how to escape under normal circumstances.
Chu Fengfeng smiled and replied, “I sprinkled a bit of Weak Water, and all those swords went towards the Weak Water.”
“Brilliant!”
Mingxi gave Chu Fengfeng a thumbs up.
Weak Water was a product of the Weak Water Hell in Tower Killing, the mythical 'Weak Water' where even a feather would not float and which could not be crossed.
It sank all things and was perilous to cross.
Yet, one could use the ice mirror from the Ice Prism Realm of Tower Killing as a boat to cross the river and pass the trial.
And Weak Water could also be stored.
She hadn't expected Weak Water to be the bane of Suffering Sword Senluo.
“Not bad, Fengfeng, you actually grew a brain.” Chen Xin teased after letting out a sigh of relief.
Chu Fengfeng was used to it. She rolled her eyes and said, “Xiao Xi has already laid out the solution, if I still don't grow a brain, I might as well die.”
“Heh, you're quite self-aware.”
“Alright, what time is it now, and you two still have the mood to bicker? Since Weak Water can restrain Suffering Sword Senluo, then try to collect as much as possible if we encounter it again later.”
“Understood!”
Although they were in a perilous environment, Lin Chen and the other two remained relatively relaxed. That sense of composure impressed even Mingxi.
One could only say they were indeed members of Jinhui Group.
Afterwards, Mingxi triggered the last kind of ultimate Human World Grand View.
Human World Grand View was the type of killing move Mingxi disliked the most.
Being within it, one would be uncontrollably immersed in the rolling mundane world, rising and falling with the tides, meeting thousands of people, yet also disappearing among them.
And the way to break it was slaughter!
To kill everyone encountered, whether ordinary people or Beast Tamers!
And slaughter brought about the continuous tempering of willpower.
Mingxi was not afraid of slaughter, but she also disliked the feeling of becoming a butcher.
This was like a trial of the mundane world, tempering the heart through emotions.
“...Xiao Xi, I think those four people below are a bit off.”
Lin Chen stood on the bone steps, looking down, his expression solemn.
Mingxi nodded, “Hmm, they're moving quite fast.”
Although not as fast as them, the speed of those four people below was definitely not normal.
“Either they, like us, have deciphered the mystery of this Tower Killing, or they have a powerful treasure specifically designed to counter the killing moves of this Tower Killing.”
Mingxi's caution did not allow her to ignore the four people below, so she had noticed their abnormality quite early.
“Powerful treasure? What could it be?”
