Chapter 708 287 The Statue That Cannot Be Approached_2
"No, those light explosions were caused by the Light Blades impacting the ground. The Light Blades that directly hit the Sword Lotus did not cause any explosions," Wan Chaoxin shook his head and said.
With Wan Chaoxin's reminder, everyone realized that it seemed to be the case. The light explosions were all around the perimeter; there were no explosions in the center.
"How could this be? Could it be that Commander Li held it up..." Wan Chaojue said in shock.
"I'm afraid it's not just a matter of holding it up," Wan Chaoxin said slowly.
"That's impossible... The fact that the Fourth Master could advance to the Light Base in such a short time is already astounding. Could he even stand toe-to-toe with a Spirit Forging Level Demon Spirit? If that's really the case, all our years of hard training have been in vain," Wan Chaohua said.
As they spoke, the Demon Wings behind the Spirit Forging entity finally stopped its attack, and the torrent of Light Blades gradually faded away.
After the torrent of Light Blades disappeared, everyone saw that the Sword Lotus protecting Li Xiu was completely unharmed, still radiating a beautiful lotus-like glow.
Suddenly, the Sword Lotus began to contract, its petals formed by sword blades quickly merged into one and transformed back into the Fire Lotus Sword, returning to Li Xiu's hand.
Li Xiu grasped the Fire Lotus Sword in one hand and held a small golden knife in the other, its blade shimmering with a golden glow.
Li Xiu raised his arm and swung the golden knife through the air.
The tiny golden thread on the blade instantaneously cut toward the Spirit Forging entity, whose hands emitted Demonic Light as it tried to strike down the thread.
Nothing happened—the golden thread vanished in a flash, slicing through the bodies of the Spirit Forging entity and the Demon Spirit behind it, then disappeared.
The Spirit Forging entity and the Demon Spirit seemed momentarily confused, and when they attempted to move again, their bodies shifted as if sliced obliquely, causing a misalignment.
The bodies of the Spirit Forging entity and the Demon Spirit slid apart together, instantly splitting into two halves.
Boom!
With the fall of the Demon Spirit's remains, the body of the Spirit Forging entity also exploded and dispersed.
The light on the Golden Dinner Knife had disappeared, and Li Xiu casually put it away, sheathing the Fire Lotus Sword at his waist.
Watching the black light in the sky converge at one point, Wan Chaojue and Wan Chaohua were left open-mouthed, unable to close them for a long time.
That was the third form of the Spirit Forging entity, yet it was sliced apart by a single stroke from Li Xiu.
How long has Li Xiu been practicing anyway? And he's a Magic Armor Master!
A Magic Armor Master who could use Demon Armor to cut down a Spirit Forging entity and now do it barehanded—this made them feel like their worldview had been seriously compromised.
"This... can't be real..." Wan Chaojue said in a daze after a long pause.
"It must be fake; all my years of hard training were all for nothing," Wan Chaohua couldn't help but curse.
Wan Chaoxin said nothing, just stared blankly at Li Xiu inside the field.
The light from the Demon Spirit's body converged at one location, and the Light Energy dispersed from the Spirit Forging entity gathered there as well.
After a short while, it condensed in the air into a Skill Ring.
Li Xiu grabbed the Skill Ring and Demon Core, marking the end of the trial.
In the cold synthetic electronic sound, different reward icons appeared on the light screen.
Among the crowd, only Chu Jun's reward included an entry ticket. Since only one reward could be chosen, Chu Jun had to wait for everyone else to select theirs, and then he would choose the entry ticket, allowing others to use a Trial Badge to enter with him.
Li Xiu's four reward options were Attributes, Demon Core, Talent, and Trial Badge.
Li Xiu chose Talent and obtained an A-level Demon Body Talent, which enhanced body strength.
The talents and skills rewarded in the Trial Ground were mostly basic, suitable for novice Trial Takers, but at Li Xiu's level, these talents and skills were not very significant.
Truly powerful talents and skills had to be obtained from the Demon Spirits.
After everyone chose their rewards, Chu Jun selected the entry ticket, and the others used their Trial Badges to follow Chu Jun into that eerie place.
The oil lamp and stone table were familiar to everyone, and on that stone table, there was a set of black Demon Armor.
Li Xiu looked at it with great delight; his previous clothing had been destroyed, and he was still wearing beginner's white tight clothes, making him yearn for that set of armor.
This was Chu Jun's entry ticket, so naturally, he went to claim it. Chu Jun also liked the set of Demon Armor, and after picking it up, he directly bound it to wear. The black full-body armor was quite stylish, with demon horns on the helmet.
"I'll get myself a set of armor too one day. Everyone else is wearing armor, and I'm stuck with these white tight clothes, feeling a bit awkward," Li Xiu decided, determining to make more attempts in the future to obtain a set of armor.
A Fei showed some interest in the set of Demon Armor too, as she was also wearing white tight clothes without any armor.
Fortunately, both had sunglasses to cover half their faces, at least providing some modest cover.
After Chu Jun picked up the Demon Armor, they followed the Longevity Lamp into the darkness. Gradually, the scene in front of them clarified as they arrived at a garden-like beautiful city.
Garden, fountains, benches, sculptures everywhere, and various villa-style garden houses—the whole city was filled with flowers and grass, a clean and beautiful city.
