When 'God' Decides To Start Over

Chapter 732 295: Land of the Sword Soul_2

Li Xiu watched as the Sword Soul demonstrated the complex swordsmanship once and then vanished without a curtain call.

Li Xiu wielded the sword given automatically by the Trial Ground and replicated the swordsmanship demonstrated by the Sword Soul exactly, with movements identical in every way.

With no suspense, he received an S-level pass approval, and the reward icons followed.

Attributes, Demon Core, Trial Badge, and admission ticket were options, and Li Xiu immediately chose the Trial Badge and admission ticket.

The Trial Badge is considered hard currency among advanced Trial Takers, even more effective than the Demon Core. The admission ticket, needless to say, was what Li Xiu came here for. His luck was good this time as he obtained it in one go.

As the admission ticket transformed into a vortex portal, Li Xiu was also absorbed into it.

The familiar scene, on the stone table lay a sword, reputedly all contracts in the Sword Soul Trial Ground are sword contracts, without other types.

The Illusion Sword belonging to Old Qian was said to be obtained from the Sword Soul Trial Ground as well.

Li Xiu didn't want to hear the Longevity Lamp's nonsense. As he was about to reach for the sword, he suddenly saw a flash of red light from his waist, and the Fire Lotus Sword flew out on its own, directly striking the sword on the stone table, cutting it in half.

This kind of contract, which was not yet contracted by anyone, is the lowest E-level, unable to withstand the Fire Lotus Sword's strike, and was severed in one blow.

After the Fire Lotus Sword struck, it flew back to Li Xiu's waist and coiled back around.

"What is happening here?" Li Xiu was bewildered, wondering why the Fire Lotus Sword suddenly ran out and cut the contract he was about to take.

With the contract severed, the Longevity Lamp floated up, and Li Xiu followed it into the Land of Trial, pondering the matter; after much thought, there seemed to be only one possibility.

The Fire Lotus Sword was too possessive; it didn't allow Li Xiu to have other sword contracts.

"This one's temper indeed isn't good." Li Xiu remembered it was originally because he once said something bad about the Fire Lotus Sword, that it clung hard to him, its temper being evident.

He hadn't expected it to be to such a degree, not allowing Li Xiu to use other sword contracts; this was absurd.

As the contract was severed, Li Xiu had no other options. Fortunately, he had not intended to cultivate another parasitic sword contract anyway.

Not to mention parasitic contracts, Li Xiu had neither the resources nor the time to cultivate various parasitic contracts, even struggling to cultivate the Symbiotic Contract.

The Land of the Sword Soul was somewhat different from Li Xiu's imagination. He heard from Old Immortal that there were many sword-soul type magic spirits here, not only numerous but also many of advanced levels, with high chances of dropping Talent Gemstones and Skill Rings, and even Demon Spirit Rings.

However, the talents and skills obtained here are all related to swordsmanship, so those who don't practice the sword are at a loss here.

Originally, Li Xiu thought the Land of the Sword Soul should be a place filled with swords planted everywhere, with countless flying swords swirling in the sky.

Instead, upon entry, Li Xiu was somewhat disappointed; the place seemed like a huge workshop with many machines Li Xiu had never seen before.

Those machines were different from Earth's, lacking screws or seams, as if they naturally grew that way.

The whole machinery resembled an assembly line, from the initial steel furnace to the final forging machines, constantly hammering out Sword Embryos, which were then transported out of the workshop by conveyor belt.

Li Xiu didn't see any magic spirits, so he followed the direction of the conveyor belt outwards, and upon reaching the workshop's entrance, he saw many magic spirits outside.

Those magic spirits, looking somewhat like ghosts, guarded the outside of the workshop. As soon as a Sword Embryo was sent out, they scrambled to seize that Sword Embryo.

The foremost magic spirit rushed into the Sword Embryo, and the embryo immediately burst with light, as if suddenly endowed with life, rising with an astonishing sword light, disappearing swiftly.

"This is interesting. What's the deal with this factory? Did the magic spirits create it themselves or was it the people of the Demon Kingdom? What benefits do the magic spirits gain by attaching themselves to the Sword Embryo?" Li Xiu pondered secretly.

There were too many magic spirits outside, and the workshop's speed of crafting Sword Embryos was too slow; a single Sword Embryo going through the process from steel refining to sword forging would not emerge in less than three to five days.

The magic spirits outside were wandering around, gathering more and more.

Li Xiu observed closely, finding no particularly high-grade magic spirits outside; the highest estimated was S-level, uncertain if there were Super Spirits. Light Base was definitely absent.

However, their quality was quite good; just from what Li Xiu saw, there were two Brilliant and several Dazzling and Flowing Color ones.

Li Xiu directly pushed open the workshop door and walked out; before he could make any moves, the Fire Lotus Sword rushed out on its own.

Flame Sword Light bursts from it, slashing across the sky, instantly killing many magic spirits with its sword light.

The Light Base level Fire Lotus Sword was like a tiger among sheep; where its sword light passed, not a single living magic spirit was left, and even the Demon Core was shattered by the Fire Lotus Sword, absorbing the energy released from the Demon Core into the sword.

"This one's truly domineering!" Li Xiu had no intention of stopping it. After all, his purpose in coming here was to enhance the Light Vein of the Fire Lotus Sword. With it taking such initiative, it saved Li Xiu from any worry.
