Xiao Chen quickly thought of a countermeasure. He became more focused than he had ever been before.
The Saber Sage was a Saber Sage, a sage of sabers. Even though their cultivations were similar, the difference was clear.
The water of spring had just started to melt. The so-called warmth was only compared to winter. However, compared to normal, it was still cold.
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up. He finally figured out the trick to this. What 'suddenly warm but then cold'? It was just a trick to confuse people.
Cold was cold, not cold was not cold. No matter how warm the water was in spring, how could it compare to summer?
Xiao Chen smiled gently. After he figured out the trick, the confusion on his face disappeared. A fierce purple flame appeared on his sword.
The Qi whirlpool in Xiao Chen's body continued to spin. Pure lightning-attributed Essence poured endlessly into the sword, causing the Purple Thunder True Fire to burn ferociously.
"Break!"
When Xiao Chen swung his saber, the blazing Purple Thunder True Fire broke through the water barrier in front of him. "Chi! Chi!" The sound of water boiling resounded in the air, and white steam rose up.
"Dang!"
The purple fire broke through all the cold Qi. With the help of Xiao Chen's fierce purple fire, it completely suppressed his opponent's state of ice. Bai Shuihe was knocked back by Xiao Chen's move.
"Autumn Wind Sweeping Away the Fallen Leaves!"
Another move was broken by Xiao Chen. However, the smile on Bai Shuihe's face became even wider. He spun his saber and quickly executed his third move.
A desolate intent blew a strong wind at Xiao Chen. In the wind, Bai Shuihe's saber contained a sharp intent as it clashed with Xiao Chen's saber strike.
This move was very ferocious. Although it was launched later, it arrived first. The unblockable aura of the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves allowed Bai Shuihe's saber strike to turn defeat into victory.
In terms of aura, Bai Shuihe's saber strike surpassed Xiao Chen's.
If he could not defeat Xiao Chen, he would not clash head-on.
Xiao Chen decisively retreated. His figure wavered as he executed the Roaming Dragon's Nine Transformations. He turned into nine cool breezes and flew backward.
Good lad, decisive enough. In a situation where he had the upper hand, he immediately retreated when he saw that the situation wasn't right. He wasn't rash at all.
Bai Shuihe praised Xiao Chen inwardly once more. With his advantage in experience, he was able to see through Xiao Chen's true form with a single glance. Moreover, he was able to guess Xiao Chen's next move.
Taking a step forward, Zhang Xuan launched a feint attack toward where the other party's true body had gone.
Swoosh!
The figure flickered, and that figure quickly merged with the ninth figure on the left. The number of clones quickly decreased.
Bai Shuihe thought to himself, Although this young man is smart, he is still lacking in experience.
This illusory move did not have much force behind it. Bai Shuihe's saber spun around at lightning speed and headed for the merging figure.
The summer sky burned in all directions!
How powerful was the blazing sun in summer? It was the hottest flame in the world, and it could even dry up a river.
It was also the most tyrannical flame in the world. Under the illumination of the sun, it could be found no matter where one hid.
When this state was infused into the Saber Technique, one could imagine how powerful it would be. The merging figure would probably be blasted to smithereens the moment it landed.
"Bang!"
As Bai Shuihe expected, a look of shock flashed on the merging figure's face. It barely managed to block with its saber before it was blasted into smithereens by this incomparably mighty saber strike.
Seeing the disappearing figure, Bai Shuihe revealed a somewhat desolate expression. He said, "In the end, it still ended. However, I gained too much of an advantage by using my experience to defeat this youth."
"Uncle, it is not over yet!" Suddenly, Xiao Chen's faint laughter came from behind him.
Bai Shuihe's expression changed slightly as he quickly turned his head to take a look. A divine Wukui Tree flickering with scarlet lightning pressed down on him with tens of thousands of tons of force.
At the place where Bai Shuihe's true body was, the white-robed Xiao Chen held his saber with both hands, guiding the scarlet lightning divine Wukui Tree.
Bai Shuihe reacted in an instant. Before he could think, he had already dodged to the side.
Xiao Chen had expected this long ago. The scarlet divine Wukui Tree tilted slightly and fell.
The two-hundred-meter-tall tree fell just like that. The tip of the tree was less than a meter away from Bai Shuihe.
Xiao Chen did not stop moving. He shouted, "Explode!"
"Boom!"
The surging scarlet lightning exploded in an instant. Waves of lightning surged out, attacking a large area indiscriminately.
At such a close distance, no matter how fast one's reaction speed was, one would still be struck by the shock wave. "Bang! Bang!
Bang! "
Bai Shuihe took three steps back. His current cultivation was the same as Xiao Chen's, an Inferior Grade Martial King. He could not ignore such a strong move.
Bai Shuihe received a powerful move head-on. His Battle Armor was blasted into a sorry state. Blood leaked out of the corner of his lips. However, he did not show much anger on his face.
"Boom!
Boom! "As Bai Shuihe swung his saber, he swept away all the remaining shock waves.
Bai Shuihe looked straight at Xiao Chen and revealed a look of admiration. He smiled and said, "Interesting. You knew that I could see through your clones, so you beat me at my own game. The figures that merged back together were fake. Your true body never moved from the start.
"To think that when I was your age, I was not as accomplished as you are. With just these four moves, you have already passed my test. Now, let me ask you, do you still want to continue?"
Xiao Chen smiled calmly and said, "Why not? It is not easy to meet a true bladesman. It would be too much of a pity to stop here."
Bai Shuihe wiped off the blood on the corner of his lips. The smile on his face became wider as he said, "Have you thought it through? If you cannot last ten moves, you will not be able to proceed to the later floors of the Ancient Desolate Tower."
"Xiu!"
Xiao Chen thrust his saber forward and revealed a faint smile. He felt very proud in his heart, "As you said, I will not leave behind any regrets!"
"Hehe, you are made to be a swordsman. Let's play a few more moves then!"
Bai Shuihe laughed loudly and took a step forward. He spun his saber and sent out another sharp Saber Technique at Xiao Chen.
Boom boom boom!
In the chaotic space, the two of them once again started a battle of wits, courage, and strength.
Every single move was extremely dangerous, and every single move was incomparably brilliant. As they fought back and forth, they were having so much fun that it was as if they had forgotten that this was a so-called test.
Bai Shuihe's cultivation was restricted, and he was the same as Xiao Chen. If he wanted to defeat Xiao Chen, he could only rely on his experience and combat techniques to achieve his goal.
However, Xiao Chen's ability to react on the spot far surpassed Bai Shuihe's expectations. Xiao Chen's exquisite Saber Technique and exquisite state greatly surpassed his expectations.
Xiao Chen was always able to decisively break it at the last moment. If he really couldn't break it, he would try his best to avoid the vital parts.
While Xiao Chen endured the Saber Techniques, he did his best to leave wounds of various sizes on Bai Shuihe's body.
Bai Shuihe forgot about the flow of time and his initial goal. The smile on his face grew wider. When he attacked, it was not to defeat Xiao Chen.
This was like a senior swordsman teaching a junior. During the fight, Bai Shuihe would occasionally comment on the strengths and weaknesses of Xiao Chen's Saber Techniques.
Naturally, the value of the Saber Sage's comments went without saying. Xiao Chen benefited a lot from this. Many of the problems that he could not figure out before were suddenly enlightened.
--- Outside the Ancient Desolate Tower, Shi Hailong watched the spots of light continuously appear on the second floor. However, his gaze remained fixed on the first spot that appeared.
Xiao Chen had a vague guess in his heart. He knew who the first person to reach the second floor was. However, he did not dare to be completely sure.
"Bang!"
Just at this moment, a figure was ejected from the wall of the second floor of the Ancient Desolate Tower. He had a confused expression on his face.
That was a sign that he had failed the challenge. He could not withstand ten moves from the will statue and was ejected from the Ancient Desolate Tower, losing the ability to advance further.
Bang! "
Following that, another three people were ejected from the Ancient Desolate Tower. Then, they returned to the statue with dispirited expressions. Together with the others, they paid attention to the spots of light in the Ancient Desolate Tower.
The people at the side who did not qualify to enter the tower quickly asked about the situation inside. These people could only smile bitterly and could not be bothered to explain.
Shi Hailong revealed some doubt in his eyes. He said, "Strange, there are already three or four people who passed the test. However, that person has not. Could I be wrong?"
An elder at the side smiled and said, "Old Shi, don't overthink this. That person might have passed the first floor so quickly because of luck. It is not as if there were no such people in the past."
"Indeed, it was too early for me to come to this conclusion. This is just the first floor, and I already compared this person to the Thunder King from back then."
As they spoke, a few more people passed the will statue's test. The spots of light flickered and appeared on the third floor.
However, the first spot of light to enter the second floor did not move at all; there were no signs of movement at all.
Shi Hailong shook his head and smiled at the people beside him, "It looks like I was overthinking. Let's continue watching. For so many people to break through to the third floor, they are much stronger than the previous batches."
On the second floor of the Ancient Desolate Tower, in the Primal Chaos Space where Xiao Chen was:
Unknowingly, Bai Shuihe's body had turned from solid to faint. "Xiu! Xiu!
Xiu! "
Xiao Chen broke Bai Shuihe's Saber Technique again. Wukui Breaks the Heavens and Wukui Moves Heaven struck Bai Shuihe's body continuously, inflicting severe damage.
"Pu ci!"
Bai Shuihe vomited three mouthfuls of blood. The blue Battle Armor on his body was already tattered. His figure was in a sorry state. However, he still appeared very excited.
Xiao Chen was in an even worse state than Bai Shuihe. His complexion was pale, devoid of blood. His white Clear Wind Robes were tattered beyond recognition.
Countless wounds of various sizes covered Bai Shuihe's body. Blood flowed out slowly, dying his clothes red. He looked like a person made of blood.
"It has been several thousand years, and no one has been able to force me to such a state. In the end, I am just a lonely spirit. I cannot last for long.
You win, "Bai Shuihe said with a bitter smile as he casually tossed his saber aside. He revealed a desolate expression.
When Xiao Chen heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. He was almost at his limits. He had already used all his trump cards several times.
If the other party made a few more moves, Xiao Chen would be at his wit's end. He would probably die in this Primal Chaos Space.
Bai Shuihe smiled and said, "Everyone who passes the test will receive a reward. For the past seven thousand years, I have given away all the good stuff. What do you want? I will do my best to satisfy you."
