237: The true meaning of the test

A surprise?

What kind of surprise?

Chen Fang and the others expressed their confusion.

But they still subconsciously chose to trust Shen Xi.

All this time, Shen Xi had never been wrong.

Moreover, even though Shen Xi had remained silent, his attention had never left Ye Zirou.

Clearly, if danger appeared, he would act immediately to rescue her.

This reassured the others considerably.

"Your strength is more terrifying than I imagined!"

The ninety-third enemy appeared.

This was a Martial Artist in the Early Stage of the Acquired Realm.

Even Shen Xi couldn't help but frown.

If she were in her peak condition, Ye Zirou would naturally not fear the opponent.

But in her current severely weakened state, the appearance of this Martial Artist was truly the last straw that broke the camel's back.

This forced Shen Xi to tense his nerves, ready to provide support at any moment.

"Fight!"

Ye Zirou did not retreat; her training streamers, like two long spears, stabbed towards the enemy.

"I have seen through your strength; you also possess the combat power of the Early Stage of the Acquired Realm, and so do I. Now, you cannot be my opponent!"

This Martial Artist seemed somewhat casual.

He was considered one of the outstanding individuals among this group of Martial Artists.

A precious saber appeared in his hand.

With a fierce chop, the training streamers were parried away.

And this Martial Artist, emboldened, took advantage of Ye Zirou's delayed defense and directly charged forward.

"Not good!"

"Sister Zirou, be careful!"

"Block this saber strike, or the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Chen Fang and the others exclaimed.

Even they felt immense pressure from this saber strike, let alone Ye Zirou, who was facing it directly.

Even Shen Xi's muscles tensed up.

If Ye Zirou couldn't handle it, he would have to make a move.

Although this would completely sever Ye Zirou's Opportunity, he had no choice but to do so; he had to protect her.

However, Shen Xi still held a glimmer of anticipation in his heart.

If his guess was correct, the situation would be entirely different.

"I can't block this saber strike!"

Facing this immensely powerful saber strike, Ye Zirou felt fear for the first time.

She knew very well that in her current state, she couldn't block this strike.

Was she really going to stop here?

She was so unwilling!

She had already defeated ninety-two enemies, with only eight more to go to complete the trial.

No!

She absolutely could not give up now!

It seemed long, but everything happened in a flash of lightning.

As Ye Zirou had this thought, a profound and mysterious feeling surged into her heart.

For a moment, everything around her seemed to slow down countless times.

That saber strike, brimming with killing intent, seemed to be frozen in mid-air.

Not only that, Ye Zirou's thoughts suddenly became clear.

"So, this is the true meaning of the Rain Fairy's Legacy?"

Ye Zirou had a sudden insight and understood many things.

She understood the profound mystery of the Rain Fairy's Legacy.

To be reborn from death!

Anyone could see that continuously defeating one hundred powerful enemies of similar strength was an almost impossible trial.

But the Rain Fairy still set up this trial; did she want to kill her successor?

The answer was clearly no.

The Rain Fairy was looking for a successor, not an enemy, so she naturally wouldn't be so ruthless.

From beginning to end, the true meaning of this trial was to allow the successor to comprehend the path she had walked.

Back then, the Rain Fairy had carved out a bloody path step by step, growing into a Detachment Realm powerhouse step by step.

Her Legacy was also full of slaughter.

If one could not understand this level of mental state, then even if they obtained her Cultivation Technique, it would be useless and impossible to Cultivate successfully.

To make her successor understand the true meaning of slaughter, the Rain Fairy set up such a rigorous trial.

And with continuous battles, Ye Zirou, between life and death, finally gained some understanding.

To be reborn from death!

Only by not fearing death could one kill others.

This was the Legacy of the Dao of Slaughter.

Upon comprehending this true meaning, a pure and incomparable power surged from within the token.

This power instantly washed away Ye Zirou's fatigue from continuous battles, and it also caused her Realm to Breakthrough, raising it by one level.

Her Early Stage of the Acquired Realm combat power reached the Major Achievement level of the Acquired Realm!

"I cannot lose this battle!"

Ye Zirou revealed a confident smile.

Her training streamers danced, striking first despite being launched later, knocking away the long saber and knocking down the enemy.

"I knew it!"

Shen Xi couldn't help but clench his fists in excitement.

However, he didn't guess the true meaning of the Rain Fairy's Legacy; he was just a man, not a god, and couldn't perceive everything.

It was just that Shen Xi frequently engaged in battles and vaguely felt that Ye Zirou's current state was close to a Breakthrough.

Perhaps she would Breakthrough in the next second, or perhaps she would have to wait several more days; this was something Shen Xi couldn't be sure of.

That's why he was looking forward to Ye Zirou's Breakthrough; as long as she broke through, this battle would be without suspense.

And precisely because of this, the pure power from the token directly assisted Ye Zirou in her Breakthrough.

Otherwise, a mere surge of power would not be enough to force a Martial Artist's Realm to improve.

If Breakthroughs were that simple, everyone would have already reached the Xiantian Realm.

"Who's next?"

After defeating this opponent, Ye Zirou scanned the surroundings and questioned.

However, no one else stepped forward.

Everyone knew they were no match for Ye Zirou, so they naturally wouldn't humiliate themselves.

What's more, the situation was now entirely different.

Shen Xi's combat power was unfathomable.

Ye Zirou had also broken through again, her combat power reaching the Major Achievement of the Acquired Realm.

These two, working together, might not sweep everyone, but solving half of them would be no problem.

Adding Liu Yiyi and Chen Fang, the scales of victory had completely tilted towards Shen Xi's side.

Moreover, this was still due to the large number of Martial Artists; otherwise, they would have no hope at all.

Could they snatch the token?

The answer was yes.

However, there would be heavy casualties.

Shen Xi had said before that if they tried to snatch it by force, he could take down one-third of the people present.

Now, with Ye Zirou, taking down more than half should be no problem.

Who dared to fight to the death?

And who was willing to fight to the death?

If even a portion of people chose to give up, then the remaining ones would be even less of a match.

"Oh no, we still need to defeat seven opponents, but no one dares to come up and challenge."

Liu Linsheng worried.

Before, they worried that Ye Zirou was not an opponent; now, they had to worry about whether they could gather one hundred people.

"It's okay. If no one dares to challenge, once the time is up, it will be considered that the trial has been completed by default. Senior Rain Fairy should have also considered this situation."

Ye Zirou, who now had a certain understanding of the Rain Fairy, spoke calmly.

The true purpose of the trial had been achieved; everything else was a minor issue.
