"Boom, boom, boom—"
Thirty-two Shadow Demons, thirty-two deadly Dragon-Shaped Sword Qi... Yi Tianchen spat out blood; this was actually thirty-two simultaneous Dragon Slashes!
Is this what they call skill absorption?
Yi Tianchen suddenly felt like cursing. Was there no way to survive this? As he turned around, there was no time to think; he had already activated Savage Charge in an instant, with a 500% Speed boost, and fled like a ghost, hearing an earth-shattering explosion behind him.
"Damn it—"
Suddenly stopping, a fierce glint appeared in Yi Tianchen's eyes. He swung his Dragon's Roar and began to run continuously, using his movement to gradually separate the originally clustered thirty-two Shadow Demons. He took the opportunity to test the waters against a single Shadow Demon.
As for skills, Yi Tianchen dared not use any for the time being.
Otherwise, these pesky Shadow Demons would absorb his skills one by one and then return them without hesitation. If he accidentally got hit, wouldn’t he be defeated by his own hand?
"1..."
With a swing of his sword, the Shadow Demon that was struck showed no change. Yi Tianchen called out "1," indicating that this was the first test subject, but it failed. He then charged at another nearby Shadow Demon, successfully landing an attack and shouted "2," continuing to test one by one.
"7..."
Before long, Yi Tianchen had tested up to the seventh Shadow Demon but still hadn’t found its true form. After all this running and probing, the thirty-two Shadow Demons had gathered together again. Once they merged, the seven he had tested suddenly vanished from sight.
"This won't do at all!"
Yi Tianchen pondered. He couldn't possibly fend off the attacks of thirty-two Shadow Demons at once, but their target was solely him. This meant that the thirty-two Shadow Demons could never remain separated for long; once they regrouped, all his previous tests would be in vain.
"If only I could mark them somehow," Yi Tianchen thought unethically.
"Wait a minute—"
Suddenly taken aback, Yi Tianchen felt as if he had discovered a new continent and laughed heartily, "How could I have forgotten such an important place?"
With newfound determination, Yi Tianchen chose to attack again. He sent forth a sword strike, confirming it was not a physical entity. Immediately, he activated Unfolding and threw out a dark circle of light. As the circle appeared beneath the shadow demon's feet, Yi Tianchen knew his plan had succeeded.
This was the Hell Swordsman's skill: Death Entanglement!
The specific effect was that the next strike would deal a certain percentage of additional damage, but as long as no further attacks were made, this circle would remain in place. This effectively marked the shadow demon, didn’t it?
Soon, after thirty seconds of cooldown passed, Yi Tianchen marked the second shadow demon, followed by the third and fourth... As he watched the number of glowing marks increase, his heart began to sink; his luck seemed to be running low!
Before long, thirty-one marks appeared...
Yi Tianchen felt like he was about to spit blood. Out of thirty-two shadow demons, he had managed to mark thirty-one. This luck could hardly be described as merely "bad."
But at least he had endured it!
With a sharp gaze, Yi Tianchen's Dragon's Roar suddenly erupted with brilliant golden light. He shouted loudly as a sword flew through the air and struck the thirty-second shadow demon, its powerful penetration sending it flying away.
Hundred Steps Flying Sword Lv-6!
“-10240!”
However, Yi Tianchen did not hear the correct prompt; instead, he was met with thirty-two Hundred Steps Flying Sword hits. He trembled in fear and decisively activated Savage Charge to narrowly escape; otherwise, he would have been turned into a coal ball.
"Damn it—"
Yi Tianchen was dumbfounded. Were all thirty-two shadow demons phantoms?
Faced with this incredibly perplexing question, Yi Tianchen didn't know how to think anymore. But according to the Hell Swordsman’s Azure Abyss prompt, one of these thirty-two shadow demons was indeed the real body. Yet he had already tested each of them one by one.
Where exactly is the problem?
Yi Tianchen continued to flee while deep in thought. The thirty-two Shadow Demons often mingled together, but the circle beneath his feet remained unchanged. This meant that the only reasonable explanation at this moment was that these thirty-two Shadow Demons had randomly swapped places during the chaos.
But if that were the case, how could he distinguish between them?
In his confusion, Yi Tianchen's thoughts drifted until he suddenly froze. Shadow Demon, could he approach this strange name for a clue?
Physical? Ethereal?
Wasn't the ethereal simply a shadow conjured by the physical? If this hypothesis held true, then among these thirty-two Shadow Demons, only the physical ones would cast shadows. As long as he shone a light on them, wouldn't it be immediately clear which were real and which were illusions?
However...
Looking at the surrounding darkness, Yi Tianchen could only continue to struggle. There was no light source here, and naturally, there would be none of the illumination he needed. Unfortunately, while objects are lifeless, people are not. Without a light source, he would just have to create one.
"Hehe~ you all... have lost!"
As he gazed at the Shadow Demons before him, a smile suddenly appeared on Yi Tianchen's lips. He activated the visual effects of his gear, and the Spirit Demon Armor Set immediately radiated a dazzling golden light. In his hand, the Dragon's Roar erupted with brilliant multicolored brilliance, instantly illuminating the surrounding area.
Then, like the wind, Yi Tianchen soared upward. Thanks to the light emitted by his gear, it became evident that the ethereal Shadow Demons cast no shadows beneath their feet. His hypothesis was confirmed. He continued to weave through the crowd of Shadow Demons, dodging and blocking with relative safety.
Suddenly, a tall black shadow was cast on the ground...
Yi Tianchen couldn't help but freeze. Haha~ he finally found it! He swiftly turned his Dragon's Roar downward and spun around 360 degrees to evade an ethereal Shadow Demon in front of him. With one powerful strike, he cleaved down onto a Shadow Demon that had a shadow of its own, eliciting a piercing scream.
At that moment...
"Ding!"
System Prompt: Congratulations, you have successfully hit the target entity. The advancement trial is officially over!
……
"Is it really over just like that?"
Muttering to himself, a flash of light passed by, and Yi Tianchen found himself back in the Black Forest. The Hell Swordsman, Azure Abyss, nodded in satisfaction and said, "Well done. Compared to my time, you have shortened the duration by a full one minute and seven seconds..."
"So... does that mean my trial is complete?" Yi Tianchen asked, elated.
"Yes, it is complete."
Yi Tianchen finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling exhilarated as he said, "In that case, I can learn new and more powerful skills from you now, right?"
"Of course!"
As the Hell Swordsman, Azure Abyss spoke, he waved his hand and displayed three new skills available for learning at level 60 before Yi Tianchen's eyes...
