At noon the next day, Li Shuyi checked it one last time. She held the light yellow "Purified Divine Power Residue" and prepared to start the Hero's Trial.
"Wait a minute." Qiao Rui stuffed an item into Li Shuyi's hands. "Take this with you."
Li Shuyi looked at it. It was a large-scale war item that Qiao Rui had once taken out in the Aaron Plane, the "Land of Tangled Vines".
"Sister Qiao, I've prepared enough items." Li Shuyi knew the value of this S-grade item and repeatedly declined.
"Take it. It's better to be prepared. Even if you don't need it, you can always bring it back. " Qiao Rui said softly, "I've taken a look. Most of the items that Captain prepared for you are summoning items. This kind of large-scale control item is still necessary."
Li Shuyi nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you, Sister Qiao."
Seeing Li Shuyi accept the item, Qiao Rui nodded with satisfaction.
"Then I'm leaving," Li Shuyi said.
"Be careful," Qiao Rui said.
Bai Xiaowen said, "Don't feel pressured. It doesn't matter if you fail. Safety first."
Han Xu only said two words, "Good luck."
Li Beihai and Nanny Li didn't say anything, but they were very pleased that Li Shuyi had such a considerate teammate.
Li Shuyi optimistically made a peace sign. She had defeated a high-level leader in a head-on battle and was quite confident about this trial. She chose to use the "Purified Divine Power Residue".
A light yellow light emerged from the residue and shrouded Li Shuyi's body. Different from the general scene of going to the Spirit World, Li Shuyi's body turned into a yellow light and disappeared.
"It's not clear how long Shuyi's Hero's Trial will last. However, it shouldn't exceed the time limit of the Spirit World's main mission and won't affect the start of the League Tournament. Is the schedule out yet? "Bai Xiaowen asked.
Li Beihai waved his hand and said, "Not yet. Probably not until the end of October."
"Alright then. Before the competition schedule is out, we will not explore the Spirit Realm for the time being. We will focus on strengthening ourselves. " Bai Xiaowen said, "I hope that Uncle Li can help coordinate the guild's Psionic Training Ground. It would be best if you could set a time limit for its use."
Li Beihai also knew what Bai Xiaowen meant. He said straightforwardly, "Of course, no problem. Those brats in the main force also know how to be hardworking. They can't wait to spend all day in the spiritual ability training ground. Hmph, how could I not know what they're thinking? You can choose to use it in the morning or in the afternoon. "
For the next few days, the White Phoenix team practiced in the Psionic Ability training ground.
Due to Li Beihai's personal prestige, the conflict between the main team and the White Phoenix team did not intensify. Of course, it was inevitable that they would not see eye to eye with each other.
Bai Xiaowen practiced his combat skills in addition to managing the shop and making potions. His level had already risen to Level-7 in the Cain Dimension. He wanted to keep up with his combat skills.
However, it was not that easy to train to a Level-7 Combat Specialty, especially since Bai Xiaowen's Strength and Agility were relatively low. Practicing shooting, grappling, or one-handed swordsmanship was a little difficult for him.
Bai Xiaowen decided to make up for his shortcomings. He took out the "Advanced Staff Technique Tutorial" and chose to use it. Then, through Delifa's telepathy, he shared her long-handled weapon specialty. Then, he let Delifa teach him personally.
Coupled with the bonus of the title "Overall Domination", Bai Xiaowen learned very quickly.
After a few days, Bai Xiaowen had reached Advancement Level-5 and was on his way to Level-6.
In the Psionic Ability training ground.
Bai Xiaowen held a long staff with both hands and engaged in a simulated battle with Delifa.
Long staffs and spears were both long-handled weapons. Although their combat styles were different, there were also techniques in staff techniques such as slashing, pointing, and poking. They belonged to the same category as spears. Bai Xiaowen's long-handled weapon specialty through the staff technique tutorial was also suitable for spears. He just needed to get used to it.
The same was true for Cecilia's shooting specialty. She was an archer who was used to using a strong bow. However, if Cecilia was given a crossbow, as long as she was slightly familiar with the crossbow's performance, Cecilia would also be able to unleash powerful shooting abilities. After all, bows, guns, and other weapons were related to the archer's accuracy and ability to judge the environment.
This long staff was a common weapon that Bai Xiaowen had exchanged from the guild storage. It was only for temporary use. He pointed with both hands and smashed out shadows of the staff.
Delifa's body swayed. The spear's shaft blocked the long staff. Then, the tip of the spear reversed and gently tapped Bai Xiaowen's chest, causing slight damage.
Bai Xiaowen waved his hand. "Stop." He frowned and thought. Thinking back to Delifa's movements just now, he felt that they could only be described as natural and smooth.
Delifa laughed softly. "Master, this routine has been practiced many times. It may be a little difficult. Do you want to change it? "
"No need."
Bai Xiaowen thought for a while and stood up straight again. "Again."
The long staff whistled and the two began the simulation again.
After repeated attempts, Bai Xiaowen's long-handled weapon proficiency had already reached the critical point of Level-5. It was just that it had not reached Level-6. It was as if there was an invisible barrier.
"I understand." Seeing Delifa's shaft blocking his long staff at an exquisite angle, Bai Xiaowen's mind flashed like lightning when the tip of the spear was pointed at him. He finally made a successful response. He bent his waist greatly and while avoiding the tip of the spear, the separated long staff slid down and hit Delifa's arm.
Delifa looked surprised. It flapped its wings and retreated about two feet.
"Haha, I've finally broken through." Bai Xiaowen laughed. His advanced weapon, the long-handled weapon specialty, had finally reached Level-6.
"Master's comprehension is extraordinary." Delifa complimented.
"No, I was actually relying on my advantage in Agility." Bai Xiaowen told the truth. "I used the symbiotic ability to temporarily obtain half of Wrath Claw's Agility. That's why I was able to dodge just now. If I had normal Agility, I wouldn't have been able to do that even if I wanted to. Your timing was too good. "
After all, Bai Xiaowen's long-handled weapon specialty was very different from Delifa's.
Delifa's long-handled weapon specialty was not Level-7 or Level-8 as Bai Xiaowen had guessed at the beginning. It was Level-10. It was no wonder that she could repeatedly suppress some high-level melee leaders with her weak melee attributes.
"Master, do you want to continue practicing?" Delifa asked.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "No. If I didn't use the symbiotic ability, it would be very difficult for me to break through to Level-6. The symbiotic ability has a time limit. I can't be in this state all the time. I don't know how long it will take to reach Level-7. It's almost time for us to use the training ground. Let's go out first. "
Beep beep. A short beep sounded just at the right time. It must be the main force members reminding Bai Xiaowen of the time.
Delifa curled her lips and said, "It's not time yet. Master's opponents are rushing us again. "
"It's okay. Don't worry about it." Bai Xiaowen smiled. He put away Delifa and called Han Xu, who was training at the side. They walked out of the psionic training ground.
After going out, Bai Xiaowen was surprised to see Qiao Rui, but he did not see the main force members.
"You pressed the button just now?" Bai Xiaowen was slightly stunned.
"Yes." Qiao Rui said with a smile.
"I thought the main force members were rushing us." Bai Xiaowen shrugged and said, "What's the hurry?"
"Something good. Guess?" Qiao Rui showed a rare naughty smile.
"Shuyi is back?" Bai Xiaowen's eyes lit up.
"Okay, I knew you would be right. I didn't expect you to be right. Shuyi, come out. "Qiao Rui said helplessly.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
A slender and tall figure jumped out from the corner of the corridor and slipped in front of Bai Xiaowen like a gust of wind. It was Li Shuyi, who had not been seen for a few days.
"Welcome back!" Bai Xiaowen was full of smiles. Judging from Li Shuyi's mood, he did not need to ask for the result.
Li Shuyi had successfully passed the Hero's Trial.
"Xiaowen, I've become much more powerful now!" Li Shuyi walked around Bai Xiaowen in circles. "Did you know that the Hero's Trial is not only about passing or failing? The final score for passing the Hero's Trial is different, so there are different rewards … I got a score of 91!"
"150 out of 100?" Bai Xiaowen tried to hold back his laughter.
"Pfft!"
Li Shuyi was very indignant. "Of course the full score is 100 points! I got a piece of exclusive equipment because of that! I'm the team's pillar now. "
"Of course, of course. You've always been the pillar," Bai Xiaowen said. Then, he smiled and said, "What benefits did you get? Tell me about your experience during the trial. Which plane did you end up in? "
"The Warring States Dimension of Japan."
Li Shuyi smiled and said, "I thought I would be assigned to the Three Kingdoms Dimension. After all, I changed my occupation there."
"That's not necessarily true. The trial ground that the Spiritual Realm prepared for you should meet two conditions. Firstly, there are no other Metahumans in this dimension. Secondly, the overall level of this dimension matches the level of your entry level. Thus, the difficulty level will be appropriate, "Bai Xiaowen said.
"Yes, the average level of the Warring States Dimension of Japan is 6 to 7. Very few are level 8." Li Shuyi took a deep breath. "Fortunately, I listened to you and started the Hero's Trial at level 6. If I had reached level 7 first, I might have been assigned to a level 7 to 9 dimension. That would have been even more difficult. "
Looking at Li Shuyi's tired face, Bai Xiaowen knew that she hadn't rested much. He held her hand and said, "Don't worry. Let's go home first. You can take a shower and eat something. We can talk later."
Walking all the way home, Li Shuyi was like an excited sparrow, constantly telling Bai Xiaowen about what she had seen and heard during the trial.
Speaking of which, Li Shuyi had always acted together with Bai Xiaowen. This Hero's Trial was the only time she acted alone in the past year.
The trial mission was to obtain the head of a Daimyo named "Shi Gao" who was worth more than 500,000 shi!
The "Shi Gao System" was a system during the Warring States Period in Japan. The area of land was not determined by area, but by the amount of harvest. "Shi" was a unit of volume. 1 shi = 10 buckets = 100 liters = 1000 ounces. In modern times, 1 shi was equivalent to 180.39 liters, or about 150 kilograms of rice. "Gao" referred to height and degree. In this case, it referred to quantity.
What did 500,000 shi mean?
During the Warring States Period, the number of Daimyo who had a fief of more than 500,000 shi could be counted on one hand. In other words, Li Shuyi's Hero's Trial mission required her to obtain the head of a Daimyo who was ranked in the top five in Japan. To put it more simply, she had to obtain the head of a Daimyo who was ranked in the top seven or eight in Japan.
Such a Daimyo would have many soldiers under his command. The number of well-known samurai retainers and leaders was definitely not small.
Moreover, the Daimyo himself was definitely not weak. During the Warring States Period, the territory of the Warring States Period was maintained by the Daimyo's prestige and the loyalty of the samurai retainers. The Daimyo of the Warring States Period was a powerful leader.
One could imagine the difficulty of the trial mission.
For Li Shuyi, she had to rely on her own judgment in all situations. At first, she was not used to the situation.
However, Li Shuyi was, after all, on the college entrance examination silver roll. She was a straight-A student, and she still had the wisdom and judgment that was usually hidden under Bai Xiaowen's brilliance. She quickly thought of her greatest advantage.
She was strong!
After accepting the trial mission, Li Shuyi leveled up to Level 7. She was equipped with luxurious equipment, summoning tools, large-scale control tools, and so on. Even if she was surrounded by an army, it would not be difficult for her to assassinate the enemy's leader.
With such strength, Li Shuyi did not have to think of some tricky and dangerous methods. She did not need to consider winning by surprise. She only needed to "fight head-on."
Of course, assassinating the Daimyo was more difficult. This was because the Daimyo usually lived in a strong city and were surrounded by strong guards.
After Li Shuyi inquired about the basic situation, she focused on collecting information in the areas where the war had taken place. Only during wartime would the Daimyo leave the strong city and set foot on the battlefield.
Then … she caught up with the famous "Battle of Otonasama" — the war between Imagawa Yoshimoto and Oda Nobunaga.
Of course, Li Shuyi did not know about the Battle of Otonasama. However, she had heard of Oda Nobunaga. He was the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven.
Therefore, after Li Shuyi arrived at Oda Nobunaga's territory, Mino, she immediately chose to join Oda's camp. After showing her strength, she was conferred as a samurai. The reason why she chose to join Oda Nobunaga's camp was that Li Shuyi subconsciously felt that Oda Nobunaga's side was stronger. This way, it would be easier to complete the mission.
But what Li Shuyi did not expect was that Imagawa Yoshimoto was far superior to Oda Nobunaga in terms of strength!
The Imagawa family had 20,000 to 40,000 soldiers. What about Oda's army? Only 4,000.
After knowing the difference in strength, Li Shuyi almost blacked out. However, she was now in a difficult position. The Warring States of Japan emphasized loyalty and righteousness. She had already become a samurai of the Oda family. If she betrayed them, she would have to pay the price. It was uncertain whether Imagawa Yoshimoto would accept her.
