"Yes."
Long Chen said softly.
In the next moment, the world changed, and a virtual character wearing a white robe appeared in front of him.
"The challenge has officially begun. Challenge objective: Endure the virtual opponent's attacks for ten minutes."
"Reward: You can choose a 7-star treasure from the treasury."
Long Chen's expression didn't change at all when he heard the tempting reward.
It could be said that the entire Dragon God Palace was his. If he wanted anything, he only needed to say it.
What he cared about now was to pass the level.
Long Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the white figure.
It was a middle-aged man wearing a white robe and holding a virtual sword, just like an ancient swordsman.
He had faced this person before, but he couldn't even last five minutes.
At that time, he was only a rank 2 evolutionary, while the white-robed middle-aged man was a rank 5 evolutionary.
Now that he had become a rank 6 Grandmaster, the strength of the white-robed middle-aged man in front of him naturally increased.
"This aura is at least a mid-stage King Stage."
Long Chen guessed.
The strength of the opponents on each floor of the Tower of Trials was determined by the challenger's level.
A Grandmaster needed to endure for ten minutes in front of a King Stage. It might be difficult for others to do so.
But for Long Chen, it wasn't difficult at all.
The goal he had set for himself was to defeat him within ten minutes!
"Come!"
Long Chen shouted. He didn't plan to waste time and took out Neptune's Trident.
He charged towards the white-robed middle-aged man.
Ping! Bang! Bang!
Facing Long Chen's powerful attacks, the white-robed middle-aged man didn't panic.
He seemed to be able to predict Long Chen's attack trajectory and could always accurately block Long Chen's attacks.
"Interesting."
Long Chen sighed inwardly. Neptune's Trident was sharp and heavy, and very few people could face it head-on.
Even early stage King Stage powerhouses like Murong Fu and Chen Hongtian didn't dare to, but this white-robed middle-aged man seemed to be able to handle it with ease.
This made Long Chen feel somewhat interested.
"However, it's time to end this!"
Long Chen snorted coldly. He immediately activated the strongest move of the Seven Strikes of the Sea God, the Halberd Annihilation.
The boundless blue light instantly condensed into a huge shadow of a trident. It contained an extremely powerful force, and suddenly pierced towards the white-robed middle-aged man.
This move could easily defeat an early stage King level evolver. The white-robed man might be stronger than an early stage King level evolver, but it would not be easy for him to withstand this move.
However, in the next moment, Long Chen was dumbfounded.
The sword in the white-robed middle-aged man's hand actually made a few inconceivable and strange movements, and the trident phantom actually broke inch by inch under the white-robed middle-aged man's sword.
"How is this possible?!"
Long Chen cried out in alarm. His strongest attack was actually so easily broken by the opponent.
However, before he could think too much, a sharp glint flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man.
The next moment, he held his sword with both hands and faced Long Chen.
A terrifying aura condensed on his body. This aura made Long Chen's heart tremble.
This was a fear that struck directly at the soul. Long Chen did not doubt that this move could even kill an early stage King level powerhouse.
"Ding! Detected that there is a pickable attribute nearby. Do you want to pick it up?"
At this moment, the system's voice suddenly rang in his mind.
Long Chen was slightly stunned. Then, he saw a white light ball fall out beside the white-robed middle-aged man.
The light ball seemed to have the shape of a sword carved on it.
"Pick it up."
Although he did not know what it was, Long Chen still chose to pick it up without hesitation.
"Ding! Pickup successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a fragment of the Sword Principle Precept."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for comprehending Sword Principle Essence LV1."
Sword Principle Essence? Sword Essence?
Long Chen was suddenly shocked.
Sword Essence was the goal of a swordsman's life. It was the most powerful of all the Martial Dao Essences.
He had heard that there were Sword Dao Masters who immersed themselves in practicing swordsmanship for tens or even hundreds of years, just to comprehend a trace of the Sword Principle Essence.
However, swordsman who could truly comprehend Sword Essence could only be described as a phoenix's feather or a unicorn's horn's horn.
Many swordsman could not even scratch the surface of it in their entire lives.
However, Long Chen had unknowingly picked it up. This was infuriating.
"But I don't use a sword. Does this Sword Essence have any effect on me?"
Long Chen could not help but think. However, the current situation did not allow him to think too much.
He could pick up a fragment of the Sword Principle Precept from the white-robed middle-aged man. This meant that the latter must have comprehended Sword Essence as well.
A swordsman who had Sword Essence would definitely be several times stronger than an evolver of the same level.
If the strength he had displayed before was only at the middle stage of the King level, then under the Sword Essence state, his strength might have reached the late stage of the King level.
The white-robed swordsman pushed his Sword Essence to the extreme. The treasured sword in his hand burst out with a strong light.
He slashed down fiercely. The dense Sword Essence instantly materialized and slashed toward Long Chen.
"Divine Might!"
Long Chen hurriedly urged the Space Law. Suddenly, a black hole vortex appeared in front of him.
At this moment, the materialized Sword Essence had already arrived.
The black hole vortex began to spin violently. It actually absorbed more than half of the Sword Essence attack.
The rest hit Long Chen, but it only made him take a few steps back.
"The Space Law is indeed powerful."
Long Chen sighed inwardly. Then, he looked at the white-robed swordsman with a cold smile.
"Have you experienced the feeling of being attacked by your own Sword Essence?"
“？？？”
The white-robed swordsman was a little confused. However, he soon felt that something was wrong.
He hurriedly turned around, but it was too late.
A black hole vortex appeared behind the white-robed swordsman. More than half of the Sword Essence attack that had just been absorbed was directly spat out. It was returned to the white-robed swordsman unceremoniously.
The white-robed swordsman hurriedly waved his treasured sword in an attempt to dissolve it.
Long Chen, who was behind him, would not miss this opportunity.
"I'll take your life while you're down. Take this, my halberd annihilation!"
Long Chen bellowed and leaped into the air.
The Neptune's Trident burst out bursts of blue light. It turned into a huge shadow and shot towards the white-robed swordsman.
With the Sword Essence attack in front and the Trident shadow behind, the white-robed swordsman could not handle both at the same time.
In the end, the two powerful forces sandwiched the white-robed swordsman in the middle. A huge explosion was heard.
The white-robed swordsman's figure began to dissipate slowly.
'Ding! Pickup successful. Obtained Strength attribute * 2500.'
'Ding! Pickup successful. Obtained Speed attribute * 3000.'
Defeating virtual characters could also give attribute points. Long Chen knew about this, so he was not surprised.
He only waited for the arrival of the ninth level with a serious expression.
If he met such a strong opponent on the eighth level, what about the ninth level?
Long Chen was originally full of confidence. Now, he was a little nervous.
"Level eight challenge successful. Continue to challenge level nine?"
Soon, the mechanical voice sounded again.
