Time passed by in the blink of an eye. When the tenth hour came, Su Li did not need to be reminded by the voice in the void. Su Li stood up and dragged his seemingly broken body towards the eighth step.
The scene changed, and what came into view was the same high platform as before.
Su Li walked to the weapon rack, picked up a long sword, turned around and turned into an afterimage, and rushed towards the middle-aged man without saying a word.
The desperate posture is exactly the same as the previous six times.
The being in the void looked coldly at the rain of blood on the high platform, with a cold light flashing in its eyes. It thought Su Li would die on the fifth step, but it never thought that this woman's resilience was far beyond his imagination. Unknowingly, she had persisted until the eighth step. step.
"I have used half of the sword power inherited from the inheritance, and I can survive until now with just a foundation. Where did this evildoer come from? It's simply... ridiculous!"
It muttered to itself with a hint of anger and shock. There are limits to changing the rules of the Star Path inheritance, and for him, the risks are not small. If it is not a last resort, he does not want to take that risk.
"Look again, if it comes to that, I will never allow anyone to take away my things!"
boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
On the high platform, the two of them turned into afterimages that flashed wildly, sword shadows continued, and blood rained everywhere, and it was impossible to tell whose blood it was.
Su Li swung the long sword, and sometimes let go of his hands to squeeze the skills. He seamlessly switched between the Ao Jian Jue and the Tempering Star, and swung it freely. Compared with when he started to set foot on the star road, he was much more proficient in using it.
If Su Li's sword-wielding was just a rough beginning, as she fought to the death again and again, her sword was being polished rapidly, becoming smooth and perfect.
The being in the darkness noticed this change, and his expression became even more gloomy.
brush!
The middle-aged man took a step back, shook his wrist and changed the sword's strength. The dense purple sword light instantly turned into a sword net and shrouded it down.
Killing move!
Su Li's eyes sharpened, and he held the sword in his backhand and turned it upwards. The entire sword immediately turned into a rotating afterimage, breaking upward in a cone shape.
"Quenching Star, Sixth Form, Break!"
In an instant, a fierce wind blew up in the field, and Su Li's figure was also swept into it, making it impossible to sense it clearly.
The being in the darkness stared at the two parties about to collide in the field, smiling. In such a situation, it is really stupid to still hope to feel a hint of sword intention and choose to use the killing move. No matter how good your talent is, it is a waste.
It turned around and gradually disappeared into the depths of the void, not even prepared to see the ending.
Forced to fight to the death in such a state of exhaustion, there will be no ghosts until death.
at this time
"boom!!"
The strong wind pressure suddenly spread to the entire place, tearing the sword net to pieces in the blink of an eye, tearing the middle-aged man into pieces, and the fragments of the corpse even splashed at the feet of the void existence.
"She won?!"
The being in the void looked horrified, and turned around suddenly to look at the eighth stone step. He happened to see the ragged and blood-stained figure falling from the purple sky. Just like the battle on the first two stone steps, he fell on the stone step. on, seriously injured and fainted.
"How did you win?"
The being in the void looked ugly, and his mouth felt dry. He thought that Su Li was dead, so he never took a closer look at the battle situation.
"Luck? Or... this woman has been hiding her clumsiness?!"
It murmured to itself, and then roared: "Impossible! Even a monk in the Nascent Soul stage might not be able to pass such a test, let alone
Foundation building period... I don’t believe it! "
It's eyes widened and it stared at Su Li, who was lying motionless on the stone steps, not missing any detail. In its shock and confusion, it actually forgot to continue to lie about the healing time limit. It didn't react until Su Li woke up. At this time, more than thirty hours had passed.
"You...you...have done well. It's not easy to get here. The healing time for this level is only thirty-five hours, and you have already spent thirty. After five hours, go to the ninth step!"
Su Li ignored the severe pain and pushed up his body with both arms, forcing himself to sit up. His tone was filled with extremely suppressed anger: "Five hours? Why didn't you just tell me to die?"
Seeing that she finally showed her emotions, the secret being subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. This time, she really reached her limit.
What a shame, I had been hiding my weakness and deceiving her before. Fortunately, the road to stardom is still long. Even if I don't die at the ninth level, I will definitely not survive the tenth level test, and there won't be any surprises!
Thinking of this, it calmed down and continued to pretend to be a rich voice, snorting coldly: "I have given you a chance, come here, don't regret it!"
"… you!"
Su Li's blood-stained face showed a look of anger, and he said bitterly: "I now suspect that this star road was deliberately set up by a senior with destructive intentions to kill the younger generations indiscriminately! I want to ask the star road to arbitrate!"
The expression of the being in the void changed slightly, and then he remembered that Su Li was only in the foundation-building stage. No matter how hard his soul body was, he would never reach the perfect state of the heavenly soul. The invited arbitration couldn't see through him, so what was there to be afraid of
Thinking of this, it laughed and said confidently: "You still know about the Star Road Arbitration, that's fine... Geniuses are so arrogant. Since you don't want to admit that you are too weak, you can invite me if you want. I will never stop you."
Su Li's expression changed from gloomy to bright, and he seemed to be struggling. After a while, he made no other moves, but took the time to meditate to recover from his injury.
Seeing this scene, the being in the void smiled even more on his face, "I can't hold my breath anymore. It's a good thing. It's easier to die if you are in a disturbed mood. Let's see how long you can hold on."
Su Li, who was sitting cross-legged on the stone steps, was pale. She couldn't tell whether she was angry or seriously injured. She closed her eyes tightly, but she was calm inside, which was completely opposite to the impetuousness she showed.
Her injuries looked more serious, and the white arm bones of her arms were covered with cracks, as if they were porcelain that would fall apart, but Su Li knew that her true injuries were much lighter than those on the previous step.
When she came out of the test illusion, she was not unconscious at all. Instead, she had been mobilizing the Gui Gu Ming Jing to recover from her injuries. She waited for more than ten hours while the existence in the void did not respond.
If she hadn't guessed, the voice in the dark would have only given her twenty hours to heal.
"It's only the ninth level. I haven't figured out how long it can affect Xinglu. My injuries and blood have not fully recovered. It's not easy to break up. But... if this continues, even a fool will know that I am faking it."
When the five hours were up, Su Li opened her eyes with twinkling eyes.
It's only a matter of time before we break up. From now on... avoid getting hurt.
She stepped forward and entered the ninth level. An extremely fierce battle began again on the high platform, but the existence in the void felt that something was not right as they looked at Su Li's desperate appearance.
How come she still has energy left
Wasn't she so seriously injured that both her arms were about to break? How can you still hold the sword
Battle puppets don't know pain, so can she not feel pain either
…
With more and more doubts and an increasingly bad premonition, the battle at the ninth level lasted for three days and three nights, and ended with a tragic ending when Su Li cut off his own arm and penetrated the puppet's head.
"Sure enough, I survived again..."
It stared at Su Li whose hands were separated on the ninth step, and suddenly felt a chill in its heart for no reason. What kind of monster did it provoke
There was even a hint of regret rising in its heart, and it wanted to retreat. But at this point, neither he nor Su Li had any way out.
"It's the tenth level, she... will definitely die!"
It murmured to itself, and its words were full of unconfidence that even it was unaware of.
"Forty hours, tenth level!"
Su Li opened her eyes and heard a cold voice immediately in her ears. This voice was much less agile and more mechanical than before.
"It's not that guy... He's starting to get suspicious."
Su Li thoughtfully picked up the right arm that was deliberately broken on the ground and connected it, letting it hang precariously by her side. She closed her eyes and continued to heal.
Although the healing time only increased by five hours, which was very unreasonable, she no longer pretended to be angry as before. Now that it is tacitly understood, some things are no longer necessary.
"Arbitration is also divided into big and small. Just relying on the gift of Star Road will not have much impact on him. If I don't force him to make a big mistake, I will definitely die after the arbitration leaves..."
While healing his wounds, Su Li thought to himself.
"Even if that person can affect the Star Road Test, he will definitely not be too much. Otherwise, if he directly improves the strength of the puppet to the realm of becoming a god or even higher, I would have died long ago."
"But it's also possible that he doesn't want to take risks to deal with me. After all, to him, I'm just an inconspicuous one among thousands of cultivators on the road to stardom. It's not worth it."
"But if I get to the last few steps, maybe..."
Su Li's eyes darkened slightly, and she calculated silently in her mind for a moment. She fell silent, and her mind was as calm as a calm lake.
…
When the time came, Su Li silently stepped onto the tenth step.
The ninth to tenth level is indeed a watershed. The purple sword light in the middle-aged puppet's hand is so rich that it turns black. Even if he strikes a sword, it will leave deep carvings on the high platform.
Su Li's situation was even more difficult. Every dodge and every difficult counterattack almost scraped the edge of the sword, leaving criss-crossing scars...
But every time the existence in the dark felt that she was about to be chopped down by a puppet, Su Li would miraculously survive. No matter how injured she was, no matter how much he shortened the healing time, Su Li could continue to stand up. , continue to the next battle.
Eleventh level, twelfth level...
Every step was stained with blood.
Su Li didn't know how many times the blood on her body had been drained. From the tenth level onwards, she didn't say another word, but fought tirelessly, and the sword intention engraved in her heart became clearer and clearer.
After the sixteenth level, Su Li fell out of the illusion. Just as he was about to continue healing his wounds, he finally heard the familiar but no longer rich voice.
"enough!"
Su Li was slightly startled and looked at the middle-aged man who appeared in the void. His face with gnashed teeth gradually became clear. She sneered. Under the middle-aged man's angry look, she laughed hoarsely and said: "Sixteenth level, Can't bear it anymore? You are more tolerant than I thought."
As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man's expression became completely gloomy.
