Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 134: Lin Chen’s peak form in the battle against the middle stage of Jindan!
Lin Chen's muscles were tense.

From the hips to the shoulders, the power finally gathers in the arms.

Then, he slashed with a knife!

Lin Chen did not hold back at all when he struck the sword.

A basic strength of over 200,000 jin, plus the sevenfold boost from the Star Vibrating Sword Technique.

It seems as if even space is distorted...

Lin Chen jumped high and slashed the giant puppet's neck with the blade.

The protective formation was triggered instantly...

However, this illusory formation only existed for a moment, and then... it shattered!
boom!
There was a loud bang, and the blade scratched the neck of the giant puppet, causing sparks to fly.

The huge head, half a person's height, was cut off completely and fell to the ground with a heavy roar.

The giant puppet's head and body separated, the light in its eyes gradually dissipated, and finally it lay motionless on the ground.

At the same time, the cold voice in the closed space came again.

"Successfully passed the eleventh round of assessment, taking a total of 25 minutes and 17 seconds, rated A-level..."

"The reward is a top-grade Jin Yuan Dan..."

A stone rose from the ground again, on top of which was placed an ancient jade box.

Lin Chen took the jade box and saw the medicine inside, and his eyes lit up.

"Top-grade Jinyuan Pill! Are there even pills of this quality?"

Lin Chen collected the pills together with the Jin Yuan Pill.

It is rumored that this top-grade Jinyuan Pill can increase the chance of forming a golden elixir by 60% and can even slightly improve the quality of the golden elixir.

Even in a large sect, it is considered precious, one piece is worth hundreds of thousands of spirit stones...

"For this third level of assessment, the value of the reward you get will increase exponentially with each level you pass... but the danger will also increase exponentially..."

Lin Chen looked at a small door that appeared on the stone wall. He now had the opportunity to leave the third level of assessment.

If I stay, I will challenge the twelfth round...

"According to the previous rules, there must be at least two Jindan stage puppets..."

Lin Chen murmured, this level of difficulty has already exceeded the limit of perfect foundation building.

Even for those geniuses, it is almost impossible to pass...

But Lin Chen didn't plan to leave.

"Since we are here, we must take as many treasures as we can..."

Lin Chen stood there and didn't leave.

Soon, the small door leading to the examination room closed.

On the ground, the puppets that had been chopped into pieces before began to piece together, eventually forming two giant puppets that were about ten feet tall.

"Sure enough, in the twelfth round of assessment, two Jindan stage puppets..."

Lin Chen took a deep breath.

With his previous experience, he decided to strike first.

After fighting for dozens of rounds, the two giants finally fell to the ground.

"Huh... So, is this the last round of assessment?"

Lin Chen took a few deep breaths and took a bottle of stamina potion.

Although the consumption of true energy was not great, Lin Chen's continuous use of the vibration sword technique consumed an astonishing amount of physical strength.

That cold voice came to my ears again.

"Successfully passed the twelfth round of assessment, taking a total of 37 minutes and 27 seconds, rated A+..."

"The reward is two top-grade Golden Yuan Pills..."

Just when Lin Chen thought that this assessment would be endless, the cold voice finally changed slightly.

"Should we proceed with the final round of assessment?"

"In the final round of assessment, you will challenge a puppet in the middle stage of Jindan. If you win, you will receive a perfect Jinyuan Pill..."

"And you don't need to participate in the fourth level, and you will have the opportunity to directly enter one of the four gates of birth, aging, illness and death..."

"Next, you have half an hour to rest, and you can give up at any time during this period..."

Listening to the voice beside him, Lin Chen fell silent, but a strange look flashed in his eyes.

"Does this count as triggering a hidden level? Skipping directly to the fourth level... and entering the four gates of birth, aging, sickness and death?"

Lin Chen touched his chin.

Based on the information he had obtained from Li Tianhan before.

Anyone who passes the third level assessment can enter the fourth level.

The fourth level is a melee in the arena, where the four strongest monks will be selected from all the remaining monks and enter the four gates of birth, aging, sickness and death.

Behind each door, the challenges faced are different, but you can obtain the third level of Golden Yuan Gong.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death... Judging from the name, the birth gate is naturally the best..."

"But I don't know the specific content of the assessment..."

Lin Chen thought carefully in his mind and then made up his mind.

Challenge that puppet in the middle stage of Jindan!
"This perfect Jin Yuan Dan is really tempting!"

"It's comparable to a puppet in the middle stage of Jindan, but it's not a cultivator in the middle stage of Jindan after all... It's a bit weaker in terms of wisdom and means."

"With my current strength, I should be able to defeat..."

Lin Chen thought silently.

His most powerful offensive method now is undoubtedly the power of Zhulong combined with the vibrating sword.

Able to exert a terrifying force of over three million jin...

This is also Lin Chen’s biggest trump card.

With this move, he was confident that even a person in the middle stage of Jindan would not be able to resist it!
Thinking of this, Lin Chen no longer hesitated.

He sat cross-legged, took out his stamina potion and pills, and quickly recovered.

"Since we want to fight, let's give it a try..."

……

Half an hour later.

As the door of this enclosed space closed, Lin Chen slowly stood up, his physical strength and true energy finally returning to their peak.

As the ground trembled, the two puppet giants that Lin Chen had destroyed came back to life...

I saw the body parts of those puppets constantly spliced ​​together, and finally it turned into a giant puppet three meters tall!
The puppet was wrapped in pitch-black material, and its calves alone were almost as tall as Lin Chen.

On the huge head that was as tall as a person, scarlet eyes kept flashing.

A cold voice came out of the puppet's mouth.

"Challenger, can you... defeat me?"

As soon as the words fell, the puppet punched Lin Chen heavily.

Lin Chen did not take it head-on, but dodged it by rolling several times.

The enormous force pounded a large hole in the stone floor of the enclosed room.

The space shook violently as if there was an earthquake.

Lin Chen's pupils suddenly contracted, and his eyes became more solemn.

"This force... is probably almost as powerful as the vibration sword. We must not get hit by it!"

Lin Chen took a deep breath and his heart moved.

A hint of black bloomed from Lin Chen's chest.

Like ripples on water, it quickly covered Lin Chen's chest, abdomen, limbs, head... and wrapped Lin Chen up in all directions!
The remains of the martial spirit, the black ink costume!
This is the first time Lin Chen used this colonial suit after obtaining it!
The moment the colonial suit was activated, Lin Chen could feel that his physical strength had been slightly depleted.

But he still gritted his teeth and activated the power of Zhulong again!
The muscles all over his body expanded slightly, and Lin Chen felt that his strength and speed were unprecedentedly strong!
This is Lin Chen’s prime form!
The combination of the Xuanmo Colonial Armor and the power of Zhulong gave Lin Chen the courage to fight against a cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan stage!

boom!
In front of him, the giant punched Lin Chen again.

This time, Lin Chen was wrapped in protective true energy, with his arms leaning forward.

He wanted to test how big the gap in strength was between him and this giant...

However, after the collision, a huge shock wave flashed.

Lin Chen only lasted for a breath before he was blown away and retreated more than ten steps.

Fortunately, his whole body was wrapped in protective true energy and Lin Chen was not injured.

But there was already amazement in his eyes.

"The power of this puppet... this strike alone is probably no less than three million jin!"

Lin Chen pursed his lips.

Under normal circumstances, his strength is far inferior to that of this puppet.

Only with the help of the vibration knife can you touch it...

Thinking of this, Lin Chen no longer held back and picked up the demon-slaying sword.

An unprecedented confidence surged into my heart.

"Since we want to fight, let's fight!"

Lin Chen also wanted to try and see what his limits were.

Of course, Lin Chen left himself a backup plan.

According to his observation, he could also perform the Earth Escape Technique in this room. As long as the Earth Escape Technique was used, he would be almost invincible!
But right now, it's not the time to run away...

"Vibrate the sword!"

Lin Chen shouted softly and used the strongest move ever!
With the blessing of the three buffs of Xuanmo Colonization Armor, Zhulong Power, and Zhendao, the power of this sword has exceeded four million pounds!
When the blade was one foot away from the puppet giant, the protective formation was activated.

An invisible shield blocked the blade a foot away.

However, the shield only lasted less than three seconds before it was cut by Lin Chen's sword.

Then the knife cut into the chest and abdomen of the puppet.

Almost the entire blade was cut into...

"Success?"

"No……"

Lin Chen's face changed slightly. Although his sword broke through the protective formation, it did not directly cut the puppet in half.

"The material used to cast this puppet is too hard... and the puppet is too large to be damaged..."

Lin Chen's mind flashed quickly. He then pulled out the entire knife, stepped back several feet, and barely avoided the puppet's continuous punches.

"We need to find the weakness of this puppet..."

Lin Chen dodged the puppet's fists while jumping sideways repeatedly, thinking constantly in his mind.

After several rounds of fighting, he had a rough idea of ​​the puppet.

Possessing a huge strength that surpasses that of a mid-stage Jindan cultivator, but with a slightly slower speed, only equivalent to that of an early-stage Jindan cultivator...

However, in this enclosed space of dozens of feet in radius, this speed is enough.

At the same time, the protective formations around him could not be broken without a powerful attack at the Jindan level...

The huge body is both the strength and weakness of this puppet.

After all, its body is too big and not flexible enough, but its attack range and defense have also been improved.

"But overall, this puppet's attack method is still too simple..."

There was a smile on Lin Chen's lips.

Compared to magic cultivators, physical cultivators’ attack methods are simple, but they still have powerful physical skills and magical powers.

But the puppet giant in front of him only has the physical fitness of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan period, but does not possess any supernatural powers.

This flaw is too obvious...

Lin Chen quickly observed several corners in the closed room and the bluestone floor that had been hammered open.

While dodging the puppet's attacks, Lin Chen also continued to release spells.

A moment later, Lin Chen dodged the puppet's attack once again and murmured softly:
"Green snake entangled..."

As the massive amount of Wood True Essence surged in Lin Chen's body.

Dozens of huge vines as thick as waists suddenly grew out of the ground and directly wrapped around the puppet.

"So much strength..."

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows.

Although the vines wrapped around the giant puppet, within a breath, under the puppet's huge force, these vines actually began to fall apart and break...

"But this time is enough..."

Lin Chen, holding the demon-slaying sword, rushed towards the puppet giant again.

But what was different from before was that the location where Lin Chen dropped his sword was very particular.

The puppet giant is three meters tall, and its head alone is nearly as tall as a person. It is made of special minerals and is naturally extremely strong.

But the connection between its limbs and torso is its weak point...

"This knife will cut off your left arm!"

Lin Chen slashed with his sword, destroying the puppet giant's protective formation like a whirlwind.

Although the force of the sword weakened slightly, the remaining force was still enough to cut off the puppet giant's left arm.

boom!
The puppet giant's left arm fell heavily to the ground like a fallen tree.

Raising clouds of dust...

At the same time, the puppet giant broke free from the vines and rushed towards Lin Chen.

Lin Chen used his old trick again, dodging while casting Green Snake Coil...

As if teasing, the puppet giant was constantly weakened.

Half an hour later...

The puppet giant had its arms and one thigh cut off by Lin Chen, and could only crawl on the ground, but still rushed towards Lin Chen.

"It's a puppet after all... It's not afraid of pain, and it can still attack even with three limbs broken..."

"But that's it for now!"

Lin Chen slashed out with his sword.

This time, his target is the puppet's head!

As the huge head fell to the ground, the light in the puppet's eyes gradually went out.

"You win..." The last voice came from the puppet's body.

After making sure that the puppet could not move, Lin Chen sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

"Damn it, I'm so tired!"

The power of the Candle Dragon and the Black Ink Colonial Suit, which lasted for more than half an hour, almost drained Lin Chen's last bit of physical strength.

After taking out a bottle of stamina potion and drinking it, Lin Chen slowly stood up.

He walked to a high platform and took away a jade box.

This jade box contains...the perfect Jin Yuan Dan!

A pill that is rumored to be able to help people form a pill 100%, and can also improve the quality of the pill by one grade...

For countless geniuses, it is a treasure they dream of.

And in this closed room, a black door slowly opened.

……

Meanwhile, in the original square.

A total of twelve cultivators who had completed their foundation building process passed the third level of assessment.

After they waited in the square for a long time, a voice came.

"The third level of the assessment ends here..."

"Next, the fourth level of assessment will begin..."

As the voice fell, three wide arenas appeared on the field.

The cold voice spread throughout the square again:
"This level will be in the form of a competition. Three champions will be selected from all the cultivators... They will enter the three gates of 'aging, illness and death' respectively, and obtain the third level of Jin Yuan Gong and part of the inheritance of Jin Yuan Sect..."

"Those who hold the Jinyuan Sect inheritance token and whose comprehensive scores reach Grade A will be given some rewards depending on their score levels..."

"For all those who step onto the stage, life and death are determined by fate. Those who do not participate in the fourth level assessment can leave the ruins..."

Several voices were heard, and passages appeared again in the surrounding stone walls.

Seeing this situation, the monks in the square had different expressions and all had something in mind.

Wanxun sat in a corner with a look of anger and many scars on his body.

Especially the penetrating wound in the abdomen, through which one can almost see the internal organs.

He slowly stood up, without any hesitation, turned around and left the square.

Passing the third level of the assessment was already his limit...

In the third level, he defeated six cultivators of the same level and obtained a medium-grade Jinyuan Pill.

Although he had some ideas about the reward for the fourth level, he knew that he was no match for the other monks present...

Especially those who looked the most relaxed.

Next, there were many monks who had the same idea as Wanxun.

There were six monks in total, and they left the ruins one after another after taking their rewards.

Soon, there were only six monks left in the square.

Among these six monks, half of them looked puzzled.

Young Master Qingzhu waved his feather fan, feeling extremely surprised.

"That's not right. According to the intelligence... there are four gates of birth, aging, illness and death. Why are there only three left now? Where did the gate of life go..."

"Is the information wrong?"

"But why is it... the most impossible way to complete?"

Young Master Qingzhu glanced at the other cultivators present.

Except for Jiang Liqian, whose face was concealed, he didn't recognize these six cultivators, but he knew the details of the rest.

"The old ghost-eyed monster's strength is unfathomable. I am a Jindan cultivator, but now my Jindan has been shattered and I have become a perfect foundation-building cultivator..."

"But its foundation is still incomparable. I cannot defeat it..."

Young Master Qingzhu murmured and looked at the other cultivators again.

“As for the monk Li Tianhan, who practices both magic and body, he killed his way through rounds. I’m afraid it will be a tough battle for me as well.”

"As for the other cultivators... I still have a chance to become the champion..."

Thinking of this, Master Qingzhu was not in a hurry to go on the stage, but stood there and waited quietly.

Among the six monks present, three of them looked shocked and uncertain.

They are Li Tianhan, the ghost-eyed boy and... Jiang Liqian!

They have one thing in common, that is, they all made it to the twelfth round of the third level assessment...

But before the thirteenth round, they all gave up.

Because they had to fight against two puppets in the early stage of Jindan at the same time in the twelfth round of assessment, they had already used up most of their trump cards.

Facing a puppet in the middle stage of Jindan, they really didn't have the courage to challenge it, nor did they think that anyone else could pass the thirteenth round...

At this moment, the person who was most shocked was undoubtedly Li Tianhan.

"Hiss... Xu Shi is so brave? He actually passed the thirteenth round of assessment... and defeated the puppet in the middle stage of Jindan?"

"But... why did Brother Xu Shi choose the most impossible way to survive? Could it be that... he is very confident?"

Li Tianhan looked around and made sure that Xu Shi did not come out.

But he knew that Xu Shi was also rated as Grade A... It was impossible that he couldn't pass the level...

So, there is only one possibility!
That is, Xu Shi made it through the thirteenth round of assessment that none of them had the confidence to challenge!

"What kind of force is this Fengling Yueying Sect?" Li Tianhan wondered in his heart.

Although the ghost-eyed boy was also shocked, he still jumped onto the "Death Gate" arena.

"This death gate is mine! If anyone is blind, come on!"

The ghost-eyed boy stood carelessly on the stage, glancing at the people below.

But the other five monks avoided his gaze.

Even Li Tianhan didn't intend to fight with the ghost-eyed boy...

After all, there are three arenas, so he doesn't need to choose the most difficult opponent.

So, Li Tianhan jumped up and stepped onto the "Laomen" arena.

"My fellow Taoists, I, Li Tianhan from the Demon-Subduing Temple, want this arena... If any Taoists want to come up and try their hand at fighting, I will accompany them to the end!"
