There were countless entrances to training grounds in the human world. Most of them were hidden in spatial turbulence that humans could not enter. A small number of them had been discovered for various reasons and were used by humans.
And this was just the tip of the iceberg. There were more than ten thousand entrances, but only a handful of them were well known by people. Among them, there were five extremely important training grounds that were known as the 'Five Great Staircase'.
In fact, the 'Five Great Staircase' referred to the five most important realms in the psionic cultivation system — Psionic Mortal Realm, Psionic Soul Realm, Psionic Might Realm, Psionic Domain Realm, and Psionic Imperial Realm. The corresponding five trial grounds were actually the most authoritative trial grounds for the five realms, and they were in line with the level restrictions.
Amongst them, the most authoritative training ground for the Psionic Mortal Realm was the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower.
This was also the only 'staircase' located in China. It was the most famous training ground in China. It was also a training ground that all Psionic Mortal Realm rookies from all over the world yearned to experience.
Who created the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower and when it was created was a secret that had long been buried in the dust of history.
However, there was historical evidence that the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower had existed for at least ten thousand years.
In these ten thousand years, it had experienced countless batches of trial-takers. The program data had been refreshed countless times, but there were still a few special existences that had never been changed. They stood at the apex of every level like eternal lifeforms, bringing unchanging fear to trial-takers. They were known as Level Lords.
The nine levels had nine Level Lords. In the long ten thousand years, other than the fourth level's Level Lord being killed by the Hero King and the third level's Level Lord being 'replaced' for some reason, the other seven Level Lords were still the same seven Level Lords.
Although this had to do with the time that the Level Lord appeared, the stronger the trial-taker, the lower the chances of encountering a Level Lord. This was because they were usually in the lead. However, for the seven Level Lords to exist for ten thousand years without being destroyed, it was evident how powerful they were compared to trial-takers at the Psionic Mortal Realm.
"Yes, in the human world, Level Lords might not be that powerful, but compared to trial-takers at the Psionic Mortal Realm, they are practically invincible existences. It's impossible for trial-takers at the Psionic Mortal Realm to defeat a Level Lord. They have to flee when encountering a Level Lord and pray that they are lucky enough to escape the calamity."
This was Liu Yu's initial understanding, as well as the majority of the participants' understanding.
However, at some point in time, this understanding had gradually collapsed.
Was it the moment the third level's Level Lord, the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign, was' conquered 'by Shi Xiaobai?
Or could it be from the moment the news of Shi Xiaobai consecutively killing four Level Lords exploded throughout the trial grounds?
Liu Yu couldn't be sure when his impression of the Level Lord had dropped from "invincible" to "maybe he could defeat it".
However, he was sure that at this moment, his respect for the Level Lord had completely collapsed.
Field Marshal Awesomo, who had spouted nonsense the moment he appeared, announced a shocking conspiracy, claimed to be the Level Lord, and wanted to wipe out all the trial-takers, left Liu Yu disappointed. At the same time, he saw hope for victory.
They believed that without monsters like Shi Xiaobai and Speechless helping them, the few of them would be easily crushed or even one-shot. However, they never expected the battle to turn into such a scene.
Sunless alone had forced Field Marshal Awesomo into a passive defense.
When he, Mu Yuesheng, Feng Yuanlin, Mu Lengxi, and Pulp Farmer joined the fray, the situation became one-sided. Field Marshal Awesomo, who had threatened to kill them all, had only brandished his ax at the beginning. Later on, he knelt on the ground and hugged his head in defense. Although his defense was rather impressive, he was already riddled with wounds after being besieged for a few minutes. He looked like he was on the verge of collapsing, as though he was seriously injured.
Liu Yu's eyebrows gradually knitted together.
"What's going on? How can a Level Lord be so weak? "
"In the information I've read, although the description of the seventh level's Level Lord isn't very detailed, it is said that it is the most troublesome Level Lord in the first seven levels. How can it be so weak? Furthermore, the description's appearance is completely different from this bull-horned warrior. Could it be that it's actually a fake Level Lord? "
"That's not right. Its appearance can be disguised and its strength can be concealed. It can't be determined that it's a fake Level Lord."
"But, why? It exposed such a plot and even claimed to have killed Shi Xiaobai to attract hatred, but it does not have the corresponding strength to deal with it. Isn't this clearly courting death? Could it be a masochist? Or is it simply overestimating its own strength? "
"No, this doesn't make sense. It's too contradictory."
"Let's use hypothetical methods. Let's say it's a real Level Lord. It has disguised its appearance and concealed its strength. Being passively beaten is just a facade. Its faltering appearance is also a facade. Then, what's its goal?"
"What's its plot?"
Liu Yu was an out-and-out conspiracy theorist. He was never afraid to speculate on his enemies with the greatest evil intentions.
When a story progressed too smoothly, it was usually just a foreshadowing of the next turning point.
The calm was mostly the calm before the storm.
As Liu Yu threw the talismans to attack, he racked his brains to consider the present situation.
In contrast to the meticulous Liu Yu, Feng Yuanlin, who was never good at using his brain, perfectly failed to sense the strangeness of the situation. As he brandished the hard shield in his hand, he constantly smashed it at Field Marshal Awesomo's back as he shouted excitedly, "Everyone, do your best. Put in a little more effort. This stupid ox can't hold on any longer!"
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Field Marshal Awesomo was like a candle in the wind. That was because he was already kneeling on the ground. He was constantly vomiting black blood that smelled foul. His body that was riddled with injuries was constantly trembling as he withstood the attacks.
But other than Feng Yuanlin, the others did not have good expressions. Although they did not think as deeply as Liu Yu, they could tell that something was amiss.
They appeared to be winning, but the way they won was a little too strange.
Although Sunless had activated the power of her Sword Truth the entire time and used the simplest and most brutal killing sword technique, she was indeed filled with a sense of oppression. Even Speechless, who was recuperating from his injuries a distance away, had to admit that he had to treat the present Sunless seriously.
However, it was a little too far-fetched for Sunless to suppress the Level Lord alone.
Furthermore, due to Sunless constantly moving in a close-range attack mode, the attacks of the others were somewhat fearful in order to not affect her. They did not dare to use their full strength. With such a combination, it was too fake no matter how one thought about it, for a Level Lord to kneel on the ground while hugging its head, not daring to fight back.
Other than Feng Yuanlin, who did not think at all, and Sunless, who had given up on thinking, the others felt that something was amiss.
However, Sunless' storm-like attacks that did not stop for even a moment made them afraid to stop. All they could do was follow her rhythm and constantly attack.
This azure-dressed girl, who only had her sword and a particular youth in her eyes, was the calmest when everyone was confused. She was the fastest to make the most correct move, but when everyone gradually calmed down, she became the most confused. With the passage of time, her worried emotions would brew into an even more intense anxiety.
Every strike of the azure-dressed girl's seemed to silently roar the same question.
Where is Shi Xiaobai?
Where is he!?
Where is he!?
"Where is he?"
When the silver-white sword finally pierced through the hardened bronze-colored skin and the damaged armor, a small portion of the sword's blade stabbed into Field Marshal Awesomo's chest. It was just millimeters away from stabbing into his filthy heart when Sunless finally came to a stop. She slowly exhaled a cold breath as well as a fiery sentence.
"Where is Shi Xiaobai?"
Sunless asked as she slightly shook the sword in her hand. Her intentions were obvious. If Field Marshal Awesomo's answer did not satisfy her, she would not hesitate to use her sword to shatter his heart.
Ten minutes ago, Field Marshal Awesomo, who appeared to look down on everything, was now a complete failure. His life was in danger, and the blade of death was just millimeters away. He was truly in an extremely pathetic state.
However, even in such a pathetic state, Field Marshal Awesomo was still the arrogant Field Marshal Awesomo. A mocking smile suffused across his ugly face that was distorted from the pain.
"Where is he? Of course it's hell beyond redemption! Grieve! Grieve! The youth you love is already dead! "
Field Marshal Awesomo laughed maniacally as his eyes were filled with madness. "Do you want revenge? What are you hesitating for? A centimeter of distance. As long as you advance another centimeter, you will be able to vent the anger and hatred in your heart. Is there anything easier than this? Come on, kill This Field Marshal! "
It was impossible to tell if he was unafraid of death from his maniacal look, or if he was hysterical from hitting the bottom.
Be it the thirty thousand members of the audience who were watching in a daze, or the trial-takers, they could not help but draw a gasp at Field Marshal Awesomo's madness.
However, Sunless remained unmoved. Her cold eyes and ice-cold expression did not change at all. After a moment of silence, she said as though she was muttering to herself, "He is still alive. You can't kill him with your strength, but you know where he is. If I kill you, I will not obtain the answer. But if I don't kill you, you will not tell me the answer either."
Field Marshal Awesomo quipped, "So?"
Sunless slowly looked up as though she had made up her mind. "Regardless of whether I kill you or not, you will not tell me where he is. Then, I can only wait. No matter where he is, no matter what kind of danger he encounters, all I can do is wait and believe that he will definitely not die. "
"I believe in him. It doesn't matter how long I wait. It's best if you are willing to tell me where he is. If you are unwilling, forget it. To me, the value of your existence is limited to this. "
"So, die."
After a logical thought that was neither too long nor too complicated, the girl who could not be considered calm came to a conclusion. She used the coldest answer to answer the question 'so'.
So, die.
At that moment, Sunless no longer hesitated.
It was also at that moment that Liu Yu, who had not stopped thinking, caught a smile from the corner of Field Marshal Awesomo's mouth. Her tangled thoughts seemed to be unraveling a dead knot. Instantly, all her doubts were cleared.
Almost like a roar, Liu Yu immediately shouted anxiously.
"Stop! You can't kill it! "
