Before this, almost everyone had thought that...
Chu Hongxiu had only participated in the Departed Island test to become an assassin.
After all, her bewitching techniques were extremely magical, and she had always been successful in dealing with men. She was born to be an assassin.
In the previous test, Chu Hongxiu had bewitched two trial-takers and easily obtained two nameplates.
However, no one knew.
Chu Hongxiu's true goal in joining the Departed Island was to resolve the huge drawbacks of her cultivation technique!
Her bewitchment wasn't innate, but a result of her cultivation.
As her cultivation technique deepened, her bewitchment became stronger, and a vast amount of Yin Qi accumulated in her body.
If she couldn't find a solution soon, the Yin Qi would explode and freeze her to death.
Master left behind a message saying that there might be a Clear Spirit Immortal Herb on the Departed Island that could resolve the drawbacks of the cultivation technique and even improve it, but...
She looked at Chen Xiao's departing figure, her red dress fluttering in the wind. Her eyes were filled with a hint of confusion.
How did that man named Yuan Shi see that she was in trouble?
At the start, Chen Xiao's ability to easily ignore her bewitchment had already made her extremely curious about this weathered man.
And now, Chu Hongxiu's shock was completely uncontrollable.
"This won't do. I have to find out what's going on later!"
...
After entering the passage, Chen Xiao no longer had any scruples.
He released his vast spiritual will, and the Primordial Divine Wheel behind his head spun, shielding him from surveillance.
He rubbed his palm against the wall, injecting wisps of True Qi to further analyze the Dharma Formation that enveloped the entire Departed Island.
It's indeed a divine-grade Dharma Formation. Even the current me can only unleash a small portion of its power.
The power of a complete divine-grade Dharma Formation was comparable to or even surpassing the Godly realm. It had the power to change the world, and even capture the stars and moon!
Chen Xiao reckoned that he could only unleash ten percent of the divine-grade Dharma Formation's power after surpassing the Chakra realm and entering the Divine Power realm.
To unleash its full power, he had to at least reach the Divine Power realm!
However, this Dharma Formation is severely damaged. If I don't have materials to repair it, I'm afraid it won't even be able to use thirty percent of its power.
Chen Xiao strolled leisurely as if he was on an outing, and he analyzed the information in his surroundings as he moved through the passageways.
At this time, the walls on both sides suddenly changed. All kinds of mechanisms were activated, and terrifying attacks instantly blocked Chen Xiao's path.
The attack speed of these mechanisms was extremely fast. The slightest carelessness could result in broken bones and tendons.
However, Chen Xiao did not react at all. His figure flashed, and as if he had teleported, he suddenly appeared dozens of meters away.
His speed was too fast.
Even if he did not use his full strength, he had already surpassed the speed of sound. The attacks of these mechanisms could not even touch the corner of his clothes.
"These mechanisms should be used to test my speed." Chen Xiao turned around and muttered to himself.
Not long after, there were changes ahead again.
The entire passageway was filled with a glowing fog. Chen Xiao scanned it with his Divine Will and quickly confirmed that this glowing fog was made up of countless tiny glowing insects.
These insects were extremely sensitive to the aura of living beings, and if one didn't restrain their aura, they would suffer their frenzied attacks.
Although it was not fatal, it was enough to cause pain and itch for half a month.
"This time, it should be used to test my ability to restrain my aura."
Chen Xiao expressionlessly walked forward with his hands clasped behind his back.
The glowing fog that stretched for more than ten meters did not seem to notice that someone had passed by. From the beginning to the end, it was extremely quiet.
"This is child's play."
Along the way, Chen Xiao stepped on the ground fire, passed through the sky lightning, tore apart the puppets that blocked his way, and destroyed the illusions that shook his mind. Not long after, he was close to the end of the passageway.
Looking back at what he had discovered along the way, Chen Xiao was slightly surprised.
"I thought that the Departed Island only occupied an ancient ruin, but this series of tests seems to have originally been to test the assassin …"
In Chen Xiao's original expectation.
The Departed Island was like a farmer who had obtained a divine sword, but only used it to chop firewood. Even if the divine sword was successful in chopping firewood, it was not its real use.
But now, it seemed that the ancient sect on the Departed Island was originally closely related to the profession of assassin!
"Perhaps, the Departed Island is the inheritance of that ancient sect!"
…
At the same time.
The black-robed guide finally passed through a secret passageway and arrived at a secret surveillance room.
Here, there were full-time personnel in charge. Even though they could not see the details of the test, they could still monitor the progress of each trial taker and the test rating.
As soon as they entered the secret surveillance room, the black-robed guide smiled and said, "How is it? Did you raise the difficulty of the trial taker named Yuan Shi to three stars?"
The difficulty of the second test was divided into five stars, and the test rating was also divided into five stars.
Ordinary trial takers would accept a one-star trial, which had a lower difficulty and would not be life-threatening.
Once the difficulty reached three stars and above, there might be a risk of death. Usually, the two-star difficulty would be activated at most.
"Reporting to Lord Zhang, the three-star difficulty has been activated, but if something happens, will the higher-ups …"
The full-time personnel seemed to be a little worried.
After all, those who could make it to the second test would at least become an assassin candidate. They were not people that ordinary members like them could afford to offend.
"Don't worry, he is very talented, but he is too arrogant. That's why we have to let him suffer some setbacks and polish him."
The black-robed guide said sternly, "If something happens, I will take full responsibility."
"That's great."
The full-time personnel heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the ancient stone wall and the modern surveillance again. "This trial taker named Yuan Shi should have reached the first stage by now …"
"He has started to challenge the first stage." The black-robed guide, Lord Zhang, said calmly, "With his strength, the first stage shouldn't be too difficult. I estimate that he will pass it in fifteen minutes …"
Before he finished speaking, the stone wall suddenly lit up with a burst of light.
When the light dimmed, Lord Zhang's eyes suddenly became round, and that professional staff member had a dumbfounded look on his face.
"This Yuan Shi passed the first stage of the three-star difficulty in less than five seconds?"
Lord Zhang could not believe it. Even the most outstanding gold-medal assassin of the Departed Island could not pass the first stage in five seconds!
Especially when he had predicted that he would need fifteen minutes to pass the stage, and Chen Xiao had passed it in an instant. It was like a slap to his face, and he felt a burning pain on his face.
"Lord Zhang, he went to the second stage!"
"The second stage? The Responding Spirit Bee in the second stage has a very strong sensing ability. Looking at this kid's moves, he is most likely not good at restraining his aura. I'm afraid he will suffer a lot here. "
However, as soon as Lord Zhang finished his sentence.
The stone wall lit up again with a bright light.
"He … he passed the second test just like that?"
At this moment, the two of them were completely petrified.
