Douluo Continent: Starting from Killing Arou with a Single Sword.

"You cleared the level that easily?" Ning Mumu looked at herself with the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone, and touched her nose. "Looks like the first level was just a distraction."

"The winner has performed exceptionally well and will now receive a prize—the Resurrection Mirror."

Ning Mumu accepted the prize and examined it carefully. It was a small, round mirror, only the size of Ning Mumu's palm. It was an antique gold color, with strange, yellowish patterns carved on it.

"What's the use of this mirror?" Ning Mumu asked.

"The player who has completed the level does not have the necessary permissions. Please continue playing."

"hehe……"

"Limited-time rewards have been distributed. Please continue clearing levels."

The mysterious voice disappeared, Ning Mumu's vision went white, and she stepped out of the mirror.

Returning to that space, Ning Mumu felt a pang of melancholy. It had been a very long time since she had reminisced about the past. Her modern life wasn't bad, and she had no regrets. It was just that suddenly seeing her former self made Ning Mumu feel somewhat uneasy.

Once I calmed down, the image in the mirror changed again.

This time, it was her past life in the cultivation world. Ning Mumu was somewhat mentally prepared, recalling her past life as if watching a movie.

In the cultivation world, she was just an unwanted girl who was taken in by her master, Venerable Miaozhi. Fortunately, she was exceptionally talented and soon embarked on the path of sword cultivation.

Ning Mumu was very happy in the cultivation world. Her master was very responsible, and her senior brothers and sisters protected her and were generous in teaching her other things.

Formations, alchemy, body cultivation... Ning Mumu learned about all the various departments in the sect, and her methods of self-preservation were countless.

Now, looking at her smiling self in the mirror, Ning Mumu's lips curled up slightly, her eyes gentle, as if she had returned to her happy life in the sect.

Before long, the harmonious scene in the mirror changed. When Ning Mumu was twenty-four, the demon race invaded. The cultivators suffered heavy casualties and were forced to retreat again and again.

The major sects hastily formed an alliance, but they still couldn't withstand the demon race. The new demon lord was incredibly powerful, and young geniuses perished one after another. Ning Mumu saw the corpses of her fellow disciples every day.

Later, with nowhere left to retreat, the cultivation world gathered powerful figures, hoping to exchange peace for the sacrifice of their souls. However, their plan failed, and the cultivation world was in grave danger.

Just then, Ning Mumu suddenly received a mysterious inheritance. It was with the help of this inheritance that Ning Mumu was able to turn the tide and save the cultivation world.

The reflection in the mirror showed her soul scattered, yet Ning Mumu felt joyful. It was good; at least in the cultivation world, she had no regrets. So what if her soul was scattered? As long as her loved ones were safe and sound.

Having seen her entire life, Ning Mumu didn't hesitate and entered the mirror again. What version of herself would she see this time? Ning Mumu wondered.

"Master, I can break through to the Mahayana stage!" The girl in the blue dress was overjoyed, and the sword in her hand hummed triumphantly.

Miao Zhi and her fellow disciples were all proud of Ning Mumu. There was no other reason than that Ning Mumu was the fastest cultivator in the sect and the disciple with the greatest chance of ascending to immortality among the younger generation.

"What does Junior Sister need to prepare?"

"Junior sister, senior sister has some top-grade Qi-stabilizing pills here, free for you!"

"What's so special about the Solidifying Essence Pill? I still have the Ascending Spirit Pill here!"

"These pills are still not enough, Junior Sister. I'll prepare a protective array for you to ensure your safe passage through the tribulation!"

……

The fellow disciples were all genuinely trying to help Ning Mumu overcome her tribulation, and they almost got into an argument.

In the end, Ning Mumu accepted all these kind offers.

Looking back on the past, Ning Mumu felt nostalgic and vaguely knew the challenge ahead—to defeat her past self.

The previous challenge was about saving yourself, which wasn't very challenging. This challenge is about defeating your past self. This challenge isn't particularly difficult, but it's not exactly easy either.

She knew every strength and weakness of her past self, and she also knew her fighting habits. The difficulty lay in the fact that it was during her most triumphant period. Back then, she was a prodigy. Even in the world of cultivation, where geniuses abounded, she was the most dazzling star.

Ning Mumu remembered that just a few days after she successfully transcended her tribulation, the demon race invaded. At that time, they thought they would soon defeat the demon race and return to their sect to celebrate.

"Alright, then I'll wait until I successfully overcome my tribulation and have a fight!" Ning Mumu stood beside the girl, looking at her past self, and chuckled, "It's a bit like looking in a mirror."

A flawless version after careful inspection!

three days later

"You've been following me for days, get out here!" Ning Mumu, who had successfully transcended her tribulation, said warily. "What are you trying to do, playing tricks on me!"

Ning Mumu, who had been hiding nearby, smiled and appeared in front of the girl with a thought.

Looking at Ning Mumu, who looked exactly like her, the girl frowned, her voice still wary, "Who are you?"

"Ning Mumu from another world."

The girl noticed Ning Mumu's gentle and kind attitude and was somewhat puzzled, "Did I time-travel again?"

"Gibberish—" Ning Mumu tried to speak, but only gibberish came out, so she could only reply, "I can't speak right now."

"Oh," the girl responded, "what is your purpose?"

"Let's fight."

"?"

"Please, fight me!"
