121: Experience and fighting
Su Lei silently felt the changes within his body, and his whole being was invigorated.
In just a few short seconds, he had already reached the Qi and blood level of a first-rank Martial Artist.
Although he was still far from his Peak, at least he was no longer a defenseless ordinary person.
At this moment, he finally understood the purpose of the Trial Tower.
"Defeat the strong with the weak, and gain rewards."
"If one chooses a Cultivation Technique, they will comprehend the secrets of the entire Cultivation Technique, and in the future, they can take this knowledge out with them."
"Although the increased Qi and blood are illusory, within this illusion, they allow the trial taker to face more difficult challenges."
"It seems this Trial Tower is much more interesting than I imagined..."
Thinking about it, it was true; the second floor already faced a second-rank Martial Artist.
Later on, stronger opponents would definitely appear, such as Grandmasters and Yao Beasts.
Su Lei didn't believe anyone could achieve it with the strength of an ordinary person.
Although this Qi and blood were negligible, at least there was room for maneuver.
He took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, and began to circulate the Nine Heavens Thunder Shocking Method.
The unique breathing rhythm drove the Qi and blood to vibrate, and each breath brought a tingling warmth to his internal organs, silently nourishing every cell in his body.
When the last cycle was completed, he slowly opened his eyes and stepped onto the stairs leading to the third floor.
The third floor was a primeval forest, with ancient trees reaching the sky, blocking out the sun, and the humid air was filled with a mix of decay and blood.
Among the tree shadows all around, two pairs of crimson beast eyes flickered in and out of sight.
"Shadow Wolves..."
Su Lei frowned slightly.
These first-rank Peak pack-hunting Yao Beasts struck fear into many second-rank Martial Artists even in the real world.
Aside from their fangs and claws, what was even more terrifying was their almost instinctive coordinated hunting.
The bushes on the left suddenly exploded, and a dark shadow pounced like lightning.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and Su Lei slightly shifted his body.
The Shadow Wolf's fangs scraped past his throat, and its foul breath sprayed on his face.
In that flash of lightning, his sword-finger, like a venomous snake's tongue, accurately pierced the opponent's heart.
"Pfft—"
Warm beast blood splattered out, and Su Lei didn't hesitate for a moment, immediately using the momentum of his turn to sweep with his knee.
With a muffled "bang," it perfectly blocked the sneak attack of another Shadow Wolf.
Amidst the dull thud, the other attacking Shadow Wolf was kicked away fiercely.
Using the recoil, he performed a backflip, landing steadily three meters away.
"Roar!"
The injured Shadow Wolf let out a mournful howl, its dark red fur standing on end.
It pushed off its hind legs and lunged forward.
Su Lei stood in place, his expression calm, until the fangs were less than three inches from his throat, when his Qi and blood suddenly gathered in his legs, erupting with a speed faster than his opponent's!
"Boom!"
A simple, unadorned punch landed heavily on the Shadow Wolf's nose bridge.
The fragile nasal bone shattered with a crack, and the remaining force of the punch directly shattered its brain tissue.
The Shadow Wolf's corpse arced through the air, crashing heavily against a tree trunk ten meters away, shaking down countless fallen leaves.
Su Lei shook off the bloodstains on his hand, frowning slightly.
Although he easily dealt with his opponents within two rounds, he still felt somewhat dissatisfied.
The difficulty would increase further on, and he had to be perfect, winning every battle with the smallest cost.
A rustling sound came from afar, and a sense of killing intent permeated the air.
—More Shadow Wolves were approaching.
Su Lei's lips curved into a smile, and he stepped towards the source of the disturbance.
Three minutes later, he arrived at the fourth floor.
Guarding it was a second-rank Martial Artist who had mastered a C-rank Martial Skill.
Relying on his rich combat experience, Su Lei defeated the opponent without much effort.
Just like the second floor, three rewards appeared, representing Cultivation Techniques, Martial Skill Moves, and equipment.
After a brief thought, Su Lei chose the weapon, from which he drew a battle saber made of alloy.
At this point, the Ten Steps, One Kill saber technique finally had a chance to be used.
Although he was only in the state of a first-rank Martial Artist, he encountered no worthy opponents along the way, a veritable one-sided slaughter... Su Lei followed the stairs to the tenth floor.
The dojo on the tenth floor was more magnificent than any previous floor.
Eight coiling Dragon golden pillars supported the towering dome, and the floor was not laid with ordinary wooden boards, but with alloy floor tiles, gleaming with a cold light under the illumination.
He frowned slightly, scanning the opponents standing in a triangular formation opposite him.
On the left was the White-faced Scholar using double hooks, his temples bulging high.
In the middle was a burly man with a bushy beard holding a spear, each step making the ground tremble slightly.
And the thin old man on the right gave him a sense of danger.
His hands were empty, but his fingernails were a strange bluish-purple, and as he breathed, faint black Qi circulated beneath his skin.
"Please enlighten me."
The three bowed their fists simultaneously, their movements as synchronized as one person.
"Three third-rank Martial Artists? Interesting..."
Su Lei's lips curved upward, and he gripped the alloy long saber in his hand.
When he passed the sixth floor, he chose the equipment reward.
No new weapons appeared, but a large pile of rare Ores, which automatically strengthened the previous alloy battle saber.
After being strengthened, the originally unremarkable great saber already subtly displayed its extraordinary nature.
The blade faintly glowed red, emitting a subtle whine as it cut through the air, as if thirsting for the nourishment of blood.
Even if he couldn't take it out in the end, Su Lei had witnessed the entire forging process, and he understood the types of Ores, the crafting procedures, and the Fusion effects thoroughly.
The reward for the eighth floor was a Cultivation Technique.
His Qi and blood had reached the level of a second-rank Martial Artist.
Su Lei raised his battle saber, its tip pointing diagonally opposite.
"Please enlighten me."
As soon as his voice fell, three figures attacked like specters.
The double hooks drew countless silver lights across the sky, the long spear was like a venomous Dragon emerging from its cave, and the old man's palms glowed with a strange bluish-purple!
"Good timing!"
Su Lei let out a long cry, and the blood-colored saber light poured out like a waterfall.
The moment the blade collided with the double hooks, dazzling sparks exploded like fireworks.
Using the recoil, his body spun into the air like a top, the poisonous palm brushing past his clothes, and the palm wind it carried corroded several holes in his garments.
Su Lei, in mid-air, didn't care, and immediately swung his saber to the right.
"Clang!"
The blood saber collided with the long spear, Su Lei's wrist flicked, and the saber's momentum shifted, drawing a perfect arc.
The spear-wielding big man grunted and retreated sharply, a deep, bone-visible wound appearing on his chest.
However, the vitality of a third-rank Martial Artist far exceeded imagination, and instead of retreating, he advanced, his long spear thrusting like a torrential rain.
At the same time, the White-faced Scholar circled to the side, and the poisonous palm old man silently appeared behind him, sealing off all escape routes!
There was no verbal communication, no eye signals, yet the cooperation of the three was seamless.
The offensive surged forward like a tide!
Looking at the overwhelming spear shadows almost within reach, a bloody glint flashed in Su Lei's eyes.
"Ten Steps, One Kill · Instantaneous Slash!"
With a low shout, his figure suddenly blurred, and when he reappeared, he was three steps behind the burly man with the bushy beard!
