The Fourth Calamity: My Sect Has Countless Prodigies

Chapter 148 is a dead end

In the trial grounds of the secluded Yunshan Realm.

Behind Qianlong, two flying swords hovered in mid-air. With a thought, they shot towards the giant elephant in front of him.

The flying sword whistled as it plunged into the elephant's trunk, followed by a painful groan.

Not long after, the giant elephant fell silent and collapsed to the ground.

Qianlong sheathed his flying sword and breathed a sigh of relief.

He has now completed the ninth level of the Yellow Rank, and the next level is the tenth level of the Yellow Rank.

According to the rules of this yellow-level challenge, it seems that every ten levels presents a formidable obstacle.

The monsters in this tenth level will be several times stronger than those in any of the previous levels.

In addition, the tenth level is also a very important watershed.

If you can pass through it, you can unlock the Mystic level and get more rewards and opportunities.

This alone was enough to deeply attract Qianlong; he was eager to know what valuable treasures were available in the Inheritance Hall.

"Come on!" Qianlong took a deep breath and slowly placed his hand on the central stone tablet.

[You have chosen to challenge the tenth level of the Yellow Rank. The tenth level will be far more difficult than any of the previous levels. Please prepare quickly.]

Qianlong drew his long sword from his waist, his expression becoming unusually solemn.

He crashed during the fifth level and failed to pass.

After that, he practiced the "Ten Thousand Swords Technique" diligently for two whole days.

Once he had mastered the basics, he was able to challenge these levels without ever failing again.

So now they're on a five-game winning streak, and it's highly likely they'll face a very strong opponent in this round.

We must be extremely cautious.

The 10 seconds came to an abrupt end.

The next moment, a very familiar figure appeared in front of him.

"Red Fox, you're not dead?" Qianlong looked at the fox in front of him, his eyes full of surprise.

Unexpectedly, the opponent arranged this time was that red fox who was good at controlling his mind.

The next moment, Qianlong felt his body being controlled involuntarily, and no matter how hard he struggled, he was helpless.

"You can't bring pills into this arena. Without the Mind-Clearing Pill, how can I possibly win a one-on-one fight?" Immediately afterward, Qianlong was controlled to wield a flying sword, which stabbed towards his face.

"I surrender!" Qianlong shouted at the critical moment, raising the white flag in his heart.

The flying sword was hovering between his eyebrows, less than a centimeter away.

"That was close, we almost crashed." Qianlong looked at the flying sword hanging in front of him, still shaken.

This thing is terrifying. It doesn't even give the opponent a chance to react before unleashing its ultimate attack. It's also much smarter than that red fox from before.

With this thought in mind, Qianlong abandoned any intention of continuing the challenge and instead stepped out of the teleportation array to reunite with Wohu.

Because he knew that no matter how long the battle went on, he was destined to lose.

The Red Fox's mind control technique has completely suppressed him.

Outside the teleportation array, Crouching Tiger had been waiting for a long time.

"What do you mean? How's the situation at level ten?" Wohu asked.

Because when choosing a cultivation technique last time, Wohu did not choose one that could enhance his combat power.

Therefore, with his current strength, he was already stuck at the seventh level, let alone the tenth level.

Qianlong shook his head: "The monster in the tenth level is disgusting; it's actually a red fox."

"A red fox? Could it be the one we saw earlier?" Crouching Tiger exclaimed in surprise.

Qianlong nodded: "That's right, and its supernatural power is also deceptive, able to control my body silently."

Crouching Tiger looked surprised and couldn't help but frown.

Pills are not allowed in the training grounds. If what Qianlong said is true, then this battle will be troublesome.

After all, without the blessing of the Mind-Clearing Pill, they had not yet found a way to break the curse.

Qianlong continued, "But during the battle earlier, I sensed that my consciousness seemed to be invaded by some kind of force. So I guess that this bewildering technique might be related to the strength of one's consciousness."

"If I increase the strength of my spiritual sense, I might still have a chance to fight back against him."

After pondering for a moment, Wohu realized he agreed with this statement.

The ability to control another person's body, in essence, may indeed be achieved by controlling their consciousness.

Similar to the concept of possession in those fantasy novels about cultivating immortality.

However, this only shields your consciousness from the outside, allowing the controller's consciousness to temporarily take over; it doesn't reach the level of possession at all.

"If that's the case, then strengthening one's divine sense is indeed a better way out. I remember there's a 'Concentration Technique' on the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion. Qianlong, why don't you exchange it for this and start cultivating it?" Wohu stroked his chin and suggested.

He had previously promised many players on the forum that he would create a guide on how to purchase items from the Scripture Pavilion.

So, during this period of time, even though he was unable to conquer the secret realm, he did not waste any time, but instead organized all the cultivation techniques in the Scripture Pavilion.

He planned to post it on the forum today, when the forum was most active, for everyone's reference.

Seeing that the matter was almost resolved, the two were about to use the teleportation array to leave the place.

But then another person walked into the main hall.

The two men looked at the newcomer and saw that it was Feilong Zaitian.

"Hidden Dragon, Crouching Tiger, how's the difficulty of this training ground?" Flying Dragon in the Sky saw that the two of them happened to be there, so he immediately went over to ask.

After leading the players to level up recently, he didn't have anything else to do, so he decided to come and see for himself the new dungeon.

Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon exchanged a smile and told Flying Dragon in the Sky all the rules they had figured out over the past few days.

After some discussion, the three parted ways.

"This training ground is quite interesting. If we let Tie Niu come, he might actually be able to pull off a miracle," Fei Long Zaitian muttered to himself.

Tie Niu probably likes this kind of ring competition the most.

Due to space constraints, there are few detours.

As long as you don't encounter flying or ranged creatures, it won't matter how fast or how well they can maneuver.

"Fine, I'll act as the captain today and explore the details of this secret realm for them." With that thought, Feilong Zaitian teleported himself into the training ground.

An hour passed, and the sky gradually darkened; it was not long before the players logged off.

Feilong Zaitian dragged his weary body and slowly walked out of the teleportation array.

Upon realizing he was finally safe, he collapsed to the ground.

I said I was being restrained, but I never expected to be this restrained.

He had only won three games in a row when he was suddenly stuck and tormented by a level. He tried four or five times in a row, but not only did he fail to pass, he lost faster and faster each time.

This trip almost shattered his Dao heart, which was set on soaring through the heavens.

"This dungeon is way too difficult!"
