"Uh, that’s true." Wang Shouzhe hadn’t thought of that tactic before, but now that he was reminded, he realized it was a good strategy. Without any pretense, he accepted the Improvent Liquid.
Then, in an annoyed manner, he kicked Wang Luqiu: "You’re done here, get lost and rest on the side. Next ti, don’t push yourself so hard."
Wang Luqiu glared at him, but knowing she couldn’t beat her fourth brother, she dusted herself off and obediently went to rest on the side.
With Wang Luqiu’s withdrawal,
Liua Yuanhui was the next to step up and challenge.
Liua Yuanhui was a Spirit Platform Seed ticulously cultivated by the Liua Family’s direct lineage. Even though he was only thirty years old, he had already reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm. His Black Tortoise Combat Techniques were equally refined.
After observing for so long, he had a thorough understanding of the Demon Puppets and approached with a very serious expression.
He then proceeded to challenge.
He fought with the Demon Puppet to a stalemate, almost evenly matched. Fortunately, his willpower was very strong, and he practiced the Liua Family’s Middle-Grade Technique, the Primordial Water Technique.
His endurance and recovery power were both comndable.
He tangled with the Demon Puppet for a full half-hour, suffering many minor injuries before finally piercing its chest with a sword, arduously achieving victory.
Dragging himself down with claw wounds on half his body, his face was full of a bitter taste.
If, in normal circumstances, he had defeated a peer of similar strength, he would have been complacent and proud. But with Wang Luqiu’s exemplary performance before him, his own seed rely ordinary.
As for the second trial, he didn’t even bother considering it and directly gave up.
It was a wise choice. Otherwise, facing two on one, he probably wouldn’t last more than a dozen moves.
Still, earning a Celestial Spirit Pill was extrely fortunate, and Ancestor Xuanfu patted him on the shoulder in encouragent.
His peers also offered countless congratulations, after all, being the second to pass and obtaining a Celestial Spirit Pill was sothing everyone envied greatly.
Then, Wang Shouzhe pulled him aside and helped treat his injuries.
Liua Yuanhui gratefully bowed and said, "Shouzhe, thank you. Your Wood Bloodline is truly unique."
"Between us, there’s no need for such formalities," Wang Shouzhe smiled and said, "Fortunately, these are superficial wounds. Even without my help, you’ll recover in seven or eight days."
At the sa ti,
another young mber of the family stood up and walked towards the center of the Trial Platform.
It was Wang Luojing.
She wore a long navy blue dress embroidered with many intricate patterns, which, upon closer inspection, were all in the form of insects.
Additionally, she carried a peculiar large box on her back.
Her expression was calm, and there was no trace of fear in her eyes.
Over the years, she had spent half her ti in the Changning Guard.
Because after the Changning Guard’s Tributor Spirit Insect Master heard about Wang Luojing, he personally ca and insisted on taking her as a disciple, promising to teach her everything he knew. Such a good opportunity, Wang Shouzhe naturally wouldn’t refuse.
Seeing Wang Luojing step onto the platform,
Wang Shouzhe was moved and said, "Luqiu, let discuss this with you. Let’s use this bottle of Talent Enhancent Liquid on Luojing first. This way, Luojing can handle the second trial more easily." He had great expectations for Wang Luojing as well.
Wang Luqiu shrugged, "Since I’ve given it to you, four brother can decide for himself."
However, upon hearing this suggestion, Wang Ruojing imdiately shook her head and said, "No need, thank you for your kind offer, fourth brother. However, if Luqiu sister can do it, then as her older sister, I can do it too." Her calm eyes held a trace of stubbornness.
With these words, Wang Shouzhe didn’t insist further.
He knew his fifth sister Wang Luojing’s personality well. Though she appeared soft and gentle on the outside, she was inherently stubborn.
Moreover, she had always competed with Wang Luqiu since childhood and certainly didn’t want to lose to her.
"Luojing! Be careful," Wang Shouzhe solemnly reminded her, "If you can’t persist, you can give up. There will be another chance next ti."
"Fourth brother, don’t underestimate ," Wang Luojing replied with a sweet smile towards Wang Shouzhe. Then, step by step, she walked to the center of the Trial Platform, her expression gradually turning serene and cold: "Artifact Spirit, I wish to undergo the trial."
A cold and murderous aura spread out, making the younger spectators shiver involuntarily, each gaining a little more respect for Wang Luojing.
Only Wang Luqiu, who was resting, pursed her lips and muttered, "Of all things not to learn, she chose to imitate Wang Shouzhe’s pretentious deanor."
