“Calm down, Young Master!” Li Kun, whose injuries had already healed, said softly to the Heavenly Evil Sect Young Master, who was on the verge of losing control. He then turned and said, “Madelong, no matter what, we are from the same sect. The Heritage should be contested based on our abilities. However, as you can see, one kid has already made it to the front. So I hope we can deal with that kid first, and we can settle our differences later.”
“Heh heh, Li Kun, although you’re not young anymore, you still know how to handle things appropriately. As you said, we are from the same sect, and this Heritage definitely cannot fall into the hands of outsiders. I just didn’t expect to encounter a genius; too bad he fell into my hands,” Madelong chuckled. For him, being able to kill a genius was the most exciting thing.
“Alright, you two be careful. I’ll go in and see what kind of test this is.” He put away his Folding Fan and stepped into the corridor. However, Ren Pingsheng had already reached the middle of the corridor, over twenty zhang away from him.
Once Madelong entered the corridor, he was also plunged into endless slaughter. It took a long time before he could take a step forward. It seemed that he needed to kill enough monsters before he could advance.
“I can’t tell what kind of test this is, but it should be similar to the first one; we will be trapped in a space or an illusion. I just don’t know what we will encounter,” Li Kun observed for a while and analyzed.
“In that case, there’s no need for us to wait any longer. That kid has already gone halfway; we can’t let him get too far ahead,” the Heavenly Evil Sect Young Master immediately made a decision. He was prepared to figure out the purpose of the test but realized it was futile and naturally did not want to wait any longer.
After saying that, the two also entered the corridor and joined in the slaughter. The two Disciples of the Evil Sect who came with Madelong also had some Perfected Realm Martial Artist cultivation. They only rested for a moment before hesitantly entering the test. At this point, who wouldn’t have some thoughts?
At the same time, many martial artists were also entering the Fourth Layer test, struggling in endless battles. This corridor was only fifty zhang long, but every step was extremely difficult. Ren Pingsheng calculated that each step required killing a hundred monsters.
Even if calculated at three feet per step, reaching the end would require at least one hundred fifty steps. Therefore, passing this test would require killing at least fifteen thousand monsters. These were all Second-Level Monsters; even though their cultivation levels varied, dealing with them was not easy, let alone killing fifteen thousand of them. Just thinking about it was a terrifying number.
“Phew… fortunately I paid attention earlier; however, even so, my True Qi has been depleted by half already. There’s still half a distance left; I wonder if there will be any changes ahead; I need to be cautious,” Ren Pingsheng thought while battling. At the same time, he held a high-quality Spirit Stone in his hand and began to slowly recover his depleted True Qi.
Those meticulous geniuses also noticed this issue. They all fought their way up from the bottom and naturally knew they needed to keep track of everything around them at all times to make correct judgments. Like Ren Pingsheng, they were conserving True Qi while taking advantage of opportunities to recover it.
Time passed monotonously and tensely; many martial artists who did not understand the situation and did not know how to conserve True Qi perished along the way and were eliminated. Some martial artists who reacted slightly later were still struggling desperately, hoping for a miracle.
“Have I finally reached the end?” Ren Pingsheng breathed heavily and showed a look of joy on his face. He could no longer remember how long he had been battling; even he had become numb by now.
“Storm Rising, slash!” At that moment, he no longer wanted to stay in the corridor and no longer hesitated to use True Qi. With one swing of his sword, wind and clouds changed color; nearly a hundred nearby monsters fell like arrows through their hearts amidst their screams as bodies shattered on the ground and blood rained down. In that moment bathed in blood, he exuded an aura of slaughter that resembled that of a demon king.
The fifth layer was empty with a vast space containing dozens of Stone Houses. The outside was wrapped in a Light Barrier; inside there were unknown entities. Ren Pingsheng merely glanced around before starting to recover his True Qi. No matter what lay inside, recovering his cultivation to its peak was what truly mattered.
Half an hour later, he opened his eyes; his depleted True Qi had once again reached its peak. At the same time, he began to carefully observe the fifth layer.
"Is there a test on this level as well? What could the test be?" He thought uncertainly while looking at the distant Stone Houses, then walked over gently.
"Can't see what's inside? Could the test be in there?" Ren Pingsheng touched the Light Barrier with his hand and was bounced back. Then he had an idea; the Azure Wind Sword was drawn, and dozens of sword shadows struck the Light Barrier. The center of the Light Barrier caved in completely, and then it seemed to reach its breaking point, shattering with a 'bang.'
"This is..." After the Light Barrier shattered, seeing what was inside the Stone House left him momentarily stunned. The Stone House was not large, measuring just over two zhang in length, width, and height, but it was filled with piles of sparkling Spirit Stones. They were all high-quality Spirit Stones, and there were even some Supreme Spirit Stones among them.
This was Ren Pingsheng's first time seeing so many Spirit Stones; the entire room was packed with them, dazzling to the eyes.
"Sizzle... I've really struck it rich this time." Ren Pingsheng glanced at the remaining dozens of Stone Houses, his eyes filled with excitement. There must be treasures inside; it would definitely be a great harvest. Thinking this, he no longer hesitated and immediately entered the Stone House, extending his mental energy to gather the piles of Spirit Stones into his Spatial Ring. He had two Spatial Rings, both with astonishingly large spaces, so he didn't have to worry about running out of room.
Two minutes later, all the Spirit Stones from one Stone House had disappeared into his Spatial Ring. He then quickly moved to the next Stone House and began attacking. This time, the Light Barrier was tougher; it took him three strikes to break through.
This Stone House was also filled with Spirit Stones, but they were evenly split between high-quality Spirit Stones and Supreme Spirit Stones. The next five Stone Houses were all similarly filled with Spirit Stones; however, starting from the third one, they were all Supreme Spirit Stones. Such a harvest surprised him and left him somewhat numb. This must be worth several million Spirit Stones; there were so many that he had lost count.
"Oh no, danger!" Just as he opened another Stone House's Light Barrier and was about to rush in excitedly, he suddenly felt a strong wind rushing out from inside, and a sharp claw appeared before him in an instant. His body instinctively retreated quickly but still got grazed. As he landed, a wave of blood surged within him.
Emerging from the Stone House was a Stone Monkey clad in armor. Judging by its aura, it was at least a Second-Level High-Rank Monster. If Ren Pingsheng hadn't reacted quickly, he might have sustained serious injuries just now.
"Clang!" Without thinking twice, he drew the Azure Wind Sword and attacked the Stone Monkey. With one step forward came heavy illusions; countless sword strikes hit against the Stone Monkey's armor, creating sparks.
"What powerful defense!" Ren Pingsheng exclaimed as he turned his sword and aimed for the Stone Monkey's head. The Stone Monkey roared angrily and swung its claw, generating an endless gust of wind that occasionally clashed with the Azure Wind Sword without losing ground.
The azure light on Ren Pingsheng's Azure Wind Sword flashed suddenly, increasing its speed by a third. He caught the Stone Monkey off guard and instantly pierced through its head. The Stone Monkey let out a final scream before falling silent.
"Is this considered a test?" he murmured softly to himself. With a wave of his hand, the Stone Monkey's corpse vanished. Inside this Stone House were no longer Spirit Stones but three Longswords radiating powerful auras.
"Could these be divine weapons? Their aura is several times stronger than my Treasure." Ren Pingsheng smiled as he collected them; perhaps he would find use for these soon.
When he opened the tenth Stone House, his expression suddenly changed. "Is someone coming? What a pity!" Without even looking at what was inside the Stone House, he swept his mental energy and collected everything at once. Then he quickly moved to the next Stone House. There were treasures here; he didn't want to give them away easily.
The newcomer was Madelong, Elder Brother of the Evil Sect. Upon entering, he merely glanced around and saw Ren Pingsheng attacking the Light Barrier in the distance. Then silently taking out an Elixir, he consumed it; within just a moment, he had restored his True Qi. He then approached another Stone House and began attacking.
Although he didn't know what this test was about, since Ren Pingsheng was attacking, it indicated that the test was related to these Stone Houses.
"This is..." After seeing the scene in the Stone House, he displayed the same expression as Ren Pingsheng did at the beginning—shock, surprise, and greed.
"This kid must have harvested a lot of treasures!" Seeing the fourteen empty Stone Houses, his eyes sparkled as he looked at Ren Pingsheng with murderous intent. This was much faster than attacking the Stone Houses to obtain treasures.
Moreover, he didn't think much of Ren Pingsheng's cultivation as an Intermediate Martial Master. He immediately gathered the treasures and, without saying a word, drew his sword and slashed at Ren Pingsheng. In his view, killing Ren Pingsheng would yield results more quickly.
"Damn it, has this guy gone mad?" Ren Pingsheng, who was attacking the Light Barrier, changed his expression and retreated, staring at the newly appeared man with a grim look.
"Kid, hand over the treasures in your possession, and I can spare your life," Madelong said with a wicked grin, completely disregarding Ren Pingsheng's expression.
"With so many Stone Houses, you don't want to take action yourself. It seems you're quite confident in your abilities! Too bad you picked the wrong person!" Ren Pingsheng didn't waste words. He stepped forward and shook his Azure Wind Sword, unleashing countless sword energies toward Madelong. He had no time to waste if he wanted to obtain more treasures.
"Good kid! You're seeking death!" He shouted angrily and swept his Longsword. The sword energy that Ren Pingsheng unleashed was diminished by more than half. However, Ren Pingsheng remained expressionless; with a flick of his Azure Wind Sword, a sharp green sword energy sliced through the air and appeared before Madelong as if teleporting.
"Bang..." Madelong crossed his Longsword just in time to block it but was forced back two steps before stabilizing himself. His expression became serious; although he had been somewhat careless earlier, the fact that Ren Pingsheng could push him back with a single strike indicated his formidable strength.
"It seems that dealing with this kid won't be easy; it would be unwise to engage him now. I'll wait until everyone arrives before dealing with him." He glanced over the Stone Houses; the greed in his eyes flickered briefly before he prepared to collect the treasures first.
"Kid, how about we call it quits? You were right earlier; with so many Stone Houses around, there's no need for us to fight over them." He chuckled lightly and took a few friendly steps back.
Ren Pingsheng merely glanced at him without saying anything and flashed back to the front of the previous Stone House, starting to attack again. He didn't care what the other party was planning. With his current strength, he had nothing to fear.
