This was the final stage of the Trial of Trial. Once one cleared it, one would pass the test. Of course, whether one could obtain the Dragon Emperor's inheritance was another matter.
Xiao Chen opened the stone door, and the scene that entered his eyes was unexpected.
There was a large mirror in front. A person that looked exactly like him appeared in it, wearing long white robes and holding the Lunar Shadow Saber.
Before Xiao Chen could react, the person in the mirror walked out with a smile, and the mirror shattered at the same time.
"The final stage, Overcoming Self. Time limit: two hours. This doppelganger is 100% created according to your strength. It is exactly the same as you. It also knows your combat habits like the back of its hand. "
A voice rang out in the spacious hall, signaling the start of the test.
Defeating myself?
Before Xiao Chen could think of a countermeasure, the clone in front suddenly vanished.
"Flawless Saber Technique, Void Breaking Stance!"
This was the first move of Xiao Chen's Flawless Saber Technique. There was no time to think. Xiao Chen made his move, executing the Flawless Saber Technique as well.
"Dang!"
Two intense lights flashed in the air. When the sabers clashed, they gave off a metallic sound.
The two were evenly matched, each taking one hundred steps back.
Xiao Chen stood upright while holding his saber. He frowned slightly. This clone's strength was exactly the same as his, not weaker at all.
This was somewhat problematic. Given this, no matter how he fought, it would be a draw. It would be hard for him to obtain victory.
Furthermore, the requirement for this test was to obtain victory. Furthermore, there was a time limit.
Once the battle started in the hall, it could not stop. Two figures that looked exactly the same executed the same Martial Techniques. From start to end, they were evenly matched.
No one could gain the upper hand. Soon, half the test was over. Even so, Xiao Chen still could not think of a countermeasure.
When Xiao Chen saw the exact same version of himself doing the exact same actions, he felt like he was looking at a mirror.
Such a battle was both boring and depressing.
Xiao Chen was very familiar with the various Martial Techniques of the other party. The other party also knew his Martial Techniques and combat habits like the back of his hand.
After fighting for so long, Xiao Chen wondered if he was living in the mirror or standing outside the mirror.
Xiao Chen executed the Flawless Saber Technique, the Taiji Saber Domain, Dharmic World, and various other killing moves. However, he could not defeat the other party without exception.
As for the Divine Lightning Eye, he did not dare to use it at all. If he used it, both of them would be injured, and it would still be a draw.
Seeing that the assessment was about to end, Xiao Chen's heart became more and more anxious.
Boom!
The doppelganger's blade suddenly changed, and a Moment of Glory struck Xiao Chen. The condensed scroll sealed the space and locked Xiao Chen in place, making it impossible for him to break free.
"You and I are of similar strength. If you are distracted, you will definitely lose!"
The clone said coldly as he looked at Xiao Chen, who was in the glorious painting. Then, he clenched his fist.
Kacha kacha!
The picture scroll shattered, and so did the space. Xiao Chen spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated into the distance.
His body was riddled with wounds from the shards of space. He wiped off the blood at the corner of his lips and smiled bitterly. "It truly lives up to being me. As soon as I find an opening, I can immediately grab hold of it."
Seeing that he was about to fail, Xiao Chen stood up and asked with some dissatisfaction, "Do you really not have any weaknesses?"
The clone held up his saber and pointed it at Xiao Chen. He smiled and said, "I am you, and you are me. Are you asking me, or are you asking yourself?"
That's right. This clone is a replica of me. It is the me that walked out of the mirror.
When I look at him, it is a mirror. When he looks at me, it is also a mirror.
What is my weakness?
However, so what if I know? If I can think of it, the other party can think of it as well. Weaknesses are mutual in the first place.
Damn it! This seemingly simple stage actually gave Xiao Chen a feeling of incomprehensibility.
Mirror, mirror, mirror …
Xiao Chen muttered to himself in his mind. Suddenly, inspiration flashed in Xiao Chen's mind, and he revealed a smile. "Why can't I defeat you? It is because I have been fighting with the mirror. Fighting with the person in the mirror, how can I win?"
When the clone saw this scene, he revealed a mocking smile. "Our strengths are about the same, yet you still blinded yourself. That is just seeking death."
Xiao Chen took out a strip of cloth and directly covered his eyes. His vision turned dark, and he relied on his five senses and Spiritual Sense to fight with the clone.
Before the clone's strange gaze, the blinded Xiao Chen revealed a confident expression and charged over. "Dang! Dang!
Dang! "
An intense battle unfolded once more. However, even though it was clearly the same Martial Technique this time, the clone was slightly weaker. The clone would also be slightly weaker, not a match for Xiao Chen.
It was clearly the same Flawless Saber Technique. However, Xiao Chen's Flawless Saber Technique was ever-changing, elegant and nimble.
As for the clone's Flawless Saber Technique, it looked exactly the same. However, it felt like something invisible was binding it.
In less than one hundred moves, Xiao Chen held the upper hand, slowly accumulating his advantage.
When the test reached the final second, Xiao Chen swung his saber and hacked the clone until he vomited blood and could no longer stand up.
The victor was immediately decided.
"Why?" The clone felt immense pain, feeling completely confused.
Xiao Chen removed the strip of cloth and opened his eyes. "I already broke out of the mirror, but you are still fighting with the mirror. How can you not be defeated?" "Clap! Clap!
Clap! "
Applause rang out, and the person in charge of the final stage walked out from the darkness. When he heard that, he smiled and said, "What a great 'breaking out of the mirror, overcoming oneself'. Countless people have managed to clear this stage in the past millions of years. But there are very few people like you who can understand the meaning of breaking out of the mirror. "
"Congratulations, Xiao Chen. You have already passed all the tests of this road of trials. You are qualified to obtain the Divine Dragon bloodline and become a member of the Dragon Race!"
Laughter rang out. The old Dragon Horse led the black-clad old man, the girl in her prime, and the others out, clearly in a good mood.
Xiao Chen revealed a smile on his face. Along the way, he had cleared all the stages. He had been somewhat lucky.
This was especially so for the third and fourth stages. They had been extremely arduous. Many times, he felt like he had almost given up.
The black-clad old man also felt happy for Xiao Chen. He stepped forward and said, "Xiao Chen, Big Brother Dragon thinks very highly of you. After obtaining the inheritance, you will be able to restore the might of the Blue Dragon. In the future, you will be able to revive the Blue Dragon bloodline. "
"Congratulations, Brother Xiao. From today on, you are one of us." The others all congratulated Xiao Chen. Even the girl in her prime, who had been indifferent earlier, revealed a smile.
Xiao Chen performed cupped-fist salutes in return. Then, he asked the old Dragon Horse to help him refine the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit into his bloodline.
"Whoosh!"
The Dragon Horse reverted to its gargantuan dragon form. A dragon claw hovered above Xiao Chen's head, giving off a scarlet light. The Dragon Horse entered Xiao Chen's head through the dragon claw. Then, it pointed at the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit.
Xiao Chen immediately fell into a deep sleep, unaware of the outside world.
"Strange!"
The old Dragon Horse revealed a suspicious expression, feeling confused.
The others felt it was strange and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The Blue Dragon Martial Spirit in his body seems to have undergone special cultivation and already gained spirituality. Furthermore, it contains the ethereal Immortal Qi that only existed during the Immortal Epoch. "
The black-clad old man frowned and asked, "What does this mean? Big Brother Dragon, please explain."
"He seems to have cultivated some special Cultivation Technique before. This Blue Dragon Martial Spirit has already mutated. Let me see what kind of Cultivation Technique is so tyrannical that it can even change the Martial Spirit of my Blue Dragon bloodline. "
The old Dragon Horse started to check Xiao Chen's body. Soon, it found the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation. Then, it activated the Primordial Energy in Xiao Chen's body and circulated the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation.
"How can this be?!"
When the old Dragon Horse clearly saw the circulation path of the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation, he was greatly startled. The dragon claw left Xiao Chen's head with a 'whoosh.'
"There is actually such a Cultivation Technique? Who exactly created this Cultivation Technique?"
The old Dragon Horse was extremely shocked. To think that such a strange Cultivation Technique like the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation existed in the world. This was too incredible.
The girl in her prime asked, "Big Brother Dragon, what exactly is this Cultivation Technique for you to lose your composure like this?"
"This Cultivation Technique would not be a peak Cultivation Technique in the outside world. In fact, it could be said to be far from it. However, it can actually dual cultivate Immortal Cultivation and Martial Cultivation, allowing the cultivator to cultivate both the Martial Dao and the Immortal Dao.
"This is a Cultivation Technique for improving one's physique. It is not a true Cultivation Technique. I really can't figure out the origins of the person who created it. "
Even the Big Brother Dragon Horse was so shocked. That person's origins had to be very shocking.
"It looks like his origins are not simple. I wonder what the person who created this Cultivation Technique is planning." The old Dragon Horse immediately felt doubtful. Should he let Xiao Chen refine the dragon blood?
