“Special level twenty, final level, survive assault from ten Intermediate state Nascent Source Realm puppet with peak foundation”
After resting for a while, Wu Xiaotian feels like he’s about to hit the limit, fighting multiple figures with the same level of combat prowess he has, the only thing making him hold on the fact that this is supposedly the last level of the special test, and he convinced himself that there’s bound to be some good stuff other than the rewards from each level if he passed this level as well.
As the puppets emerged from the ground, their figures were revealed, all of them being humanoid in shape with extremely detailed appearance, their origins clearly a well-preserved corpse of cultivators that is then turned into these puppets.
Wasting no time at all, Wu Xiaotian exploded with his full strength, utilizing the Chaotic Order Weapon Art to its full potential, enabling him to battle against the numbers of figures possessing the strength of a highly talented Intermediate state Nascent Source Realm, a level of cultivation a complete two realms above his current realm.
As the Myriad Transformation Orb, currently in a form of a blade was drawn from its sheath, the battle starts once again, with most of the puppets being held back and fighting the soul weapons manifested by Wu Xiaotian, with only two of them being able to pass through and battle directly with him.
“What a persistent bunch…” he complained as he sensed some of the puppets trying to escape from the barrier created by the soul weapons performing techniques, only for the soul weapons to strike them in the back, dealing significant damage towards them.
While juggling all the events happening to each and every intangible weapon floating in the air, he’s also paying attention towards the enemies attacking him close range, despite his mind paying attention, patiently waiting for the moment they show even just a bit of weakness, his body is still moving efficiently, completely parrying the combined attacks of the two while sending in some strikes for them to defend, forming a precarious balance between them that would easily tip over to the other side once one of them commits a mistake.
The sound of metal clashing upon each other continues resounding across the place, the two puppets fighting Wu Xiaotian finally starting to go for the defensives due to his struggle on putting pressure on them.
Now getting a bit of leeway, he splits some of his attention to controlling the Transcendent Qi, moving it though the air to infuse it with the soul weapons, transforming it into something stronger, enough to slice through the defenses of the puppets they’re fighting.
Once he was done doing so, his lips curved into a smile as he saw one of the puppets starting to get clunkier in its movements, a micro level disruption in its otherwise fluid movements causing him to take advantage of it, the Myriad Transformation Orb in his hand morphing into a thin rapier, thrusting it through the shoulder of the puppet, the weapon transforming again now into a sword, severing its arm from its body.
After doing this, the battle starts tipping into his favor, the puppets only getting sloppier with their attacks as time goes by, until finally, he managed to incapacitate the puppet with a severed arm, lopping its head from its body causing him to start falling to the ground, this action being stopped as he took the opportunity to kick it away, hurling it towards the other puppets in the distance, hitting a couple of them and bringing it down along with it, the puppets struggling to get up as they pile on top of each other.
Taking this opportunity, he sends in the soul weapons suppressing these puppets, moving in a quick and vicious manner, piercing though the heads of the puppets, leaving a crack in their cores, their figures still trying to get up despite the damage but was finally put into a stop as the Transcendent Qi infused in the weapons starts devouring the energy of the core wantonly.
Eliminating three of them, it only took some time for Wu Xiaotian to completely clean up the battlefield, completely destroying each of the puppets, filled with anticipation with what he would receive from completing the special levels.
“Congratulations on completing the special level, reward, a thousand celestial origin seeds, twenty-seven True Spirit Fruit, and one World Tree Seed”
Looking at the rewards appearing from somewhere, Wu Xiaotian smiles from ear to ear, thinking that the struggle to complete the special level to be totally worth it. Keeping the rewards inside the system’s inventory, it is only now that he had time to search for the use of the True Spirit Fruit, and the results completely baffled him.
[True Spirit Fruit]
[A special fruit born from a tree of heaven and earth, instantly provides enough energy for a breakthrough when six of them were consumed, given that the consumer is at most a Nascent Source Realm cultivator]
Looking at the description of the fruit, Wu Xiaotian couldn’t help but get excited, his hands trembling at the thought of breaking through the Perfection state Core Formation Realm, only for his burning imagination to be doused by the system’s cold reminder.
[As the host possesses multiple transcendent tier talents, the total energy of the fruits is only able to push the host by another state]
Hearing this, the happiness in Wu Xiaotian’s face never disappears albeit being a bit disappointed. After all, an improvement of a single state takes a year at least at the lower realms, with the rate being exponentially slower once one reaches the higher realms, and to improve a single state just by consuming a fruit is definitely a crazy way to cultivate.
“Will it affect me in a negative way?” thinking that it’s too good to be true, Wu Xiaotian couldn’t help but inquire for an answer from the system, its answer luckily going with his expectations.
[As it is a natural treasure, the qi it holds inside is more than pure enough to not affect the host or the host’s cultivation in any way. That is without even considering the inherent ability of host’s Primordial Nihility Transcendent Qi to devour and purify every energy in existence]
“That’s great, now let’s start cultivating” seeing that he’s free to do anything he wants from this point on, Wu Xiaotian decided to start cultivating as he wants to be as prepared as he can when he moves forward and encounters the next part of the test, and improving his strength if he can is an integral part of said preparation.
Entering the Infinite Qi Dimension, he immediately rushed towards the eleventh layer, enduring the torrent of qi beating up his body as he gorged on the True Spirit Fruits one by one. After he finished eating all of them, a hot stream of energy starts to circulate his body, tempering not only his physique, but also his soul and qi from inside out.
Partnered with the effect of the waves of qi in the Infinite Qi Dimension beating him from the outside, this period of cultivation truly brings him to a completely different level.
After a few hours of staying inside, his cultivation finally consolidated, his mastery over his strength completely perfected as he practiced in the eleventh layer, the qi suppressing him making him easily familiarize with his brand-new strength.
As he finished his time inside the Infinite Qi Dimension for the day, he moves forward seeing a door in front of him, mentally preparing for whatever he will face in the second part of the test.
