Doing her best to hold on to the greatsword as she made her way up to the platform with the shadowy warrior motionlessly standing on top of it waiting for her, Mui could not help feeling nervous.
Not to ntion the fact that she had no experience when it ca to using the greatsword in real combat, the intimidating aura of the shadowy warrior that locked on to her when she arrived beside the raised platform, was more than enough to make her freeze on the spot without daring to take a single step forward.
"What am I hesitating for? It's not like it's going to kill . At most I will fail the final trial..." Shaking her head as she quietly muttered this to herself, Mui took a deep breath before slowly stepping up onto the raised platform. Knowing very well that her chances of beating the shadowy warrior with her current experience in combat was close to none...
Swish-!
Without warning, the shadowy warrior charged towards her the mont she had stepped up on the raised platform, the greatsword held high in the air as it descended towards her with a terrifying might that made Mui second guess whether the shadowy warrior was truly in the sa cultivation realm as her.
Bang!
Having already expected that the shadowy warrior was going to attack her the mont she stepped onto the raised platform, Mui dodged to the side, just narrowly avoiding the massive greatsword.
"Hah!"
Taking advantage of the small opening that had been created, Mui put all her energy into using what little she had learnt from the unnad greatsword technique of the shadowy warrior, swinging the massive wooden greatsword almost twice her size towards the unprotected side of the shadowy warrior.
However, the shadowy warrior was far faster than she had expected and easily managed to move his greatsword over to block her attack-
"Waaaaaah!?"
Even worse, the impact caused by the two weapons clashing with each other, was enough to send Mui's small body flying for a few ters before landing in the middle of the raised platform with her wooden greatsword landing on the ground right next to her. Having sohow been lucky enough to not only have her weapon land next to her, but also avoid any injuries at the sa ti.
This... How am I supposed to win against that thing!?
Not having any ti to feel happy about how she had managed to avoid any injuries during the clash that had sent her flying, Mui was panicking internally. During the short clash just now, she understood very well that her opponent was not soone, she had any chance of winning against.
Even if the shadowy warrior had also been reduced to the Third Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, his combat experience and mastery over the greatsword far exceeded her...
Turning towards the shadowy warrior on the edge of the platform getting ready to charge towards her again, Mui grabbed the greatsword on the ground beside her as she got ready. Although she understood how low her chance of winning was, there was no way she was going to just give up without a fight!
Swish-!
As the shadowy warrior dashed towards her with its massive greatsword raised high in the air, Mui pulled up her greatsword from the ground in preparation to et the shadowy warrior. However, because she had been too nervous, she accidently used too much force when pulling the large greatsword up from the ground-
Whoosh-!
"Ah! M-my sword!"
As a result, Mui could only watch as she accidently let go of her greatsword. Sending the greatsword close to twice her height flying in the direction of the approaching shadowy warrior-
BANG!
Not having enough ti to block the large greatsword that ca hurling towards him, the shadowy warrior was hit directly in the head by Mui's wooden greatsword. Directly sending him falling backwards towards the ground-
Fwoosh~!
Dissolving into black smoke the mont he hit the ground; the shadowy warrior completely disappeared from the platform. Leaving only a shocked Mui behind to stare speechlessly at the place where the shadowy warrior had slamd into the ground.
"H-he disappeared...?" Not fully believing what had just happened, Mui slowly made her way over to the place where the shadowy warrior had dissolved to make sure that he had truly disappeared.
"I... I won..." Only after seeing that the shadowy warrior did not reappear, did Mui manage to understand that she had indeed defeated the shadowy warrior. Although it was a rather unique victory, she did defeat the shadowy warrior...
"Ah! The box of words!" rembering that the box of words should appear if she had truly completed the final trial, Mui began looking around for it. Luckily, it did not take her long to find it hover no more than a few ters away from where she was standing.
If she couldn't find it and it turned out that defeating the shadowy warrior was not the final part of the final trial like the box of words had said, Mui had no idea what she would do. Struggling trying to find out what she had to do, was not sothing she enjoyed. Especially when the two other trials had been straightforward with what she had to do to complete them...
[The Final Trial, Hidden chanisms and Combat, has been successfully cleared. Proceeding to calculate participant Mui's combined score for the entire trial... Calculations finish, generating final score in accordance with the overall performance during the trial... Generating the final score will take longer than normal... Transporting participant Mui to a more comfortable location while calculations finish.]
"Transporting to a more comfortable location? What does it an with- Waaah!"
Whoosh-!
Not getting to finish reading through the box of words, Mui suddenly felt her entire body getting swallowed up by sothing and before she knew it, she found herself in the middle of a large valley filled with all kinds of exotic plants and trees she had never seen before... But more importantly than this, Mui recognized a few of the fruits hanging from one of the exotic trees as the delicious fruits she had been eating during her ti in the trial.
"So, this is where the delicious fruits co from... Indeed, a far more comfortable place compared to the weird training room filled with all kinds of different weapons... Hm?" As she took in her new surroundings, Mui suddenly noticed a small book on the ground beside her.
"This is... The greatsword technique that the shadowy warrior used!" Opening the book itself, it did not take long before she realized that the book was none other than the naless greatsword technique used by the shadowy warrior. Not only that, but she also discovered that the wooden greatsword she had used during her fight with the shadowy warrior was located right next to the book on the ground.
Now, she not only had a cultivation mantra, but also had a fully fledged out combat technique. Everything she needed to continue increasing her strength without worrying about anything else!
If I can stay in here and just continue increasing my strength without having to worry about food, then everything would be great, I just wonder how long it will take for the box of words to calculate my score... And if I can continue staying in here after I get my score and officially finish the trial...
Thinking this to herself as she turned to look towards the box of words that only displayed, [Generating Score...], on it, Mui could not help silently hoping that the process would take a long ti. At least that way, she would be able to stay inside the trial space for longer. Cultivating and enjoying the delicious fruits without having to worry about anything.
...
[First Trial Participant, Mui, has successfully completed the final trial. The final judgent for the first trial participant, will be given to host.]
"Hm?" Flying in the air above a large jungle located in between two dangerous location that was dangerous even to soone in the Domain Lord Realm, Xuan Hao could not help coming to a sudden stop after seeing the ssage from the system that appeared in front of him.
"I can give the final judgent...?" Muttering this to himself as he curiously looked over the ssage from the system, Xuan Hao's vision was soon blocked out by a long list of information that described each of the three trials and what Mui had done to overco them. Even ntioning her large consumption of a certain spiritual fruit that had been provided to her as food during the trial itself.
"How can one consu so many spiritual fruits..." Reading through the number of consud spiritual fruits by Mui, Xuan Hao could not help feeling shocked at just how many spiritual fruits she had managed to eat during her short two or so weeks inside the trial space. Even his gluttonous pet wouldn't eat that many spiritual fruits in a month, let alone half a month!
