Inside the Hall of Seven Sins.
The moment the door closed behind him, the last glimmer of light was completely cut off. The hall was actually so dark that one couldn't even see their own fingers in front of them.
Lu Ping didn't think too much about it. He reached into his robes and took out the Illumination Pearl.
He injected his soul power into it, and a ball of light immediately bloomed in front of him. It was incomparably dazzling, like fireworks.
Lu Ping was dumbfounded. But in that instant, the Illumination Pearl had already dimmed. No matter how much soul power he injected, it couldn't emit any light.
Lu Ping scratched his head. A sneer came from the darkness. "Illumination Pearl?"
"You dare to use such a low-grade toy in the Hall of Seven Sins?" the voice continued.
"No one told me I couldn't." As Lu Ping spoke, he still kept the Illumination Pearl in his robes. Then, he walked in the direction of the voice.
"Your ears are quite sharp." The person noticed Lu Ping's movements and laughed.
Lu Ping stopped and frowned. When the person spoke, he changed direction again, as if he was deliberately avoiding him.
"I'm here to pick a Divine Weapon," Lu Ping said.
"Otherwise, how do you think you can come in?" the voice asked.
"Then how should I choose?" In the darkness, Lu Ping was not anxious. He was very calm.
But this time, there was no reply.
"Where is he?" Lu Ping asked.
There was still no reply.
Lu Ping activated his soul power and used the Eavesdropping Technique.
The flow of soul power had already reached behind him, and a hand was reaching for his face. The movement was very light, and the voice of the soul power sounded as if it was trying to hide itself. There was no offensive power.
Lu Ping calculated the timing. He tilted his head slightly, and the hand that was reaching for him touched nothing.
"What are you doing?" Lu Ping asked.
"Scaring you." As the voice spoke, it suddenly moved away from Lu Ping.
"And then?" Lu Ping asked.
The other party didn't reply again. However, this time, Lu Ping did not stop listening. He could hear that after the other party changed his position, he carefully hid his Spirit Force and approached him.
"Again?" Lu Ping asked.
The other party did not reply.
Lu Ping could only wait. When that person approached him again, it was still from behind.
Another hand was raised, and it was still aimed at Lu Ping's face.
"Must I let you touch it?" Lu Ping suddenly asked.
The hand suddenly stopped moving, as if it was hesitating for a moment. He slowly retracted his hand.
This time, he did not retreat immediately. Instead, he clapped twice behind Lu Ping.
Suddenly, there was light in the hall. Although they didn't know where it came from, it was still bright.
Lu Ping turned around and looked at the person behind him. This person didn't look very old. He was also one of the seven guardians outside the door, and he was currently looking at Lu Ping with surprise.
"You can't scare me," Lu Ping said.
A cold smile appeared on the person's face. "I admit that your senses are very sharp, but you're still too naive to think that you can take away the Divine Weapon from the Hall of Seven Sins with just that.
"No matter who recommended you, it's up to the Hall of Seven Sins to decide whether or not you can take away the Divine Weapon." As he spoke, the person's tone became stern.
"Alright." Lu Ping nodded, appearing calm and composed.
The person was a little discouraged. After all, his teasing of Lu Ping just now was not very mature. Saying these words now made it seem like he was putting on a brave front, but his confidence was lacking.
"Follow me." After glaring at Lu Ping, the person walked to the side.
Lu Ping followed. Only then did he have the time to look inside the Hall of Seven Sins. However, he still couldn't see anything. This light only illuminated a five-meter radius around the two of them. Outside this radius, it was still pitch-black, and he couldn't see anything. Inside the Hall of Seven Sins. It was as if there was only a vast expanse of emptiness.
Lu Ping didn't ask any questions. He just followed the person. A moment later, within the range of the light. Stone steps suddenly appeared. They were inside the Hall of Seven Sins. Stone steps.
"Go up by yourself," the person said to Lu Ping, stopping in his tracks.
The stone steps extended upwards, but with only a five-meter radius, he didn't know where they led. He looked to his left and right. The stone steps were five meters wide, and there was no end to them.
"Yes." Lu Ping replied. Then he walked toward the stone steps. With each step he took, the sphere with a radius of five feet moved along with him. In this illuminated space, there were only stone steps. There was no end to the stone steps. Lu Ping looked back. He couldn't see the person anymore. He could only continue to walk up the stone steps.
In the person's eyes, he could see a ball of light moving up the stone steps. He stood guard at the bottom of the stone steps. Soon, someone arrived beside him.
"You let him come so quickly?" the person asked.
This question made the person feel awkward.
"His senses are very sharp." Even though he wasn't convinced, he had to admit this.
"He can even sense your Seven Despairs?" The person was surprised.
"Not only did he sense it, I think he sensed it very easily," the person said.
"How did he do it?" the person asked.
The person shook his head and remained silent.
The person fell into deep thought and left silently.
"49, 50 …"
"121, 122 …"
As Lu Ping walked, he counted the steps under his feet.
He was surprised. How big was the Hall of Seven Sins? The stone steps were even longer and taller than the stone steps outside the Hall of Seven Sins.
He continued to count as he walked.
Until he reached the last number.
343.
The stone steps in the Hall of Seven Sins had a total of 343 steps. They went straight up without any twists or turns.
Now that Lu Ping was done, his surroundings were still dark. He did not know where the three hundred and forty-third step had taken him. He walked away, but it was still only darkness.
"Is there anyone here?" This time, Lu Ping took the initiative to ask.
"Yes." The moment he asked, someone answered immediately.
"I'm here to pick a Divine Weapon," Lu Ping said.
"Welcome," the voice said. Although it was saying that, there was no hint of joy in its tone.
But after he said this, the Hall of Seven Sins was lit up again.
This time, it wasn't just one ball of light, but many, countless balls of light. They floated in the air, vertical and horizontal, up and down, one ball of light after another.
Lu Ping immediately saw that it wasn't just one ball of light. Every ball of light contained a weapon, sleeping and floating in the air. After he reached the 343 steps, he was sent to the center of these balls of light, a place filled with Divine Weapons.
Then, he saw clearly that the 343 steps of the stone platform was actually a "Bing" character, and he, was standing at the top of this character. The Divine Weapons that had been passed down in the North Style Academy for thousands of years surrounded him like a vast starry sky.
"You can choose, or you can give up. Just do your best. It's not like no one has died on this Weapons Disassembly Platform, "the person said.
"Okay," Lu Ping said.
"Choose, or give up?" the person asked.
"Choose," Lu Ping said.
"Please," the person said.
