Chapter 75: Crushing Checkpoint Clearance (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

[Do you want to proceed to the next checkpoint?]

The voice came again.

“Yes!”

Ye Xuan grinned and was a little eager to try.

This was because it was said that after every three checkpoints, the projected image of a cultivator of the same level as him would appear.

According to its awesome nature, it was definitely a phantom left behind by some geniuses in ancient times. It was obvious that it was very fierce.

Ye Xuan had never fought with a cultivator of the same level as him. He had little combat experience. Basically, he either sneak attacked or crushed others.

It was not easy for him to meet someone of the same level. Ye Xuan was unwilling to let go of this opportunity to spar.

Swoosh!

In the next second, a light flashed.

A man in black suddenly appeared.

After seeing Ye Xuan, the man in black did not hesitate at all. He drew his saber and rushed towards Ye Xuan at an extremely fast speed.

“Good timing!”

Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up. This time, he did not use the Soul-Breaking Needle. Instead, he fought him head-on.

“Clang—I’

The saber and sword collided. The man in black was forced back by Ye Xuan upon impact and was momentarily stunned.

“Huh?”

“So weak?”

Ye Xuan was also a little dumbfounded.

Where was the ancient prodigy?

‘Is that all?’

Although they were both at Level 1 of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he shouldn’t be so trashy, right??

“Crack—”

After being stunned for a moment, the man in black charged towards Ye Xuan again. His speed was faster and his attack was fiercer.

Moreover. he seemed to have used a rather strong saber techniaue with

unrivaled might.

“Sunset Sword Technique—”

Ye Xuan also used his ordinary sword moves and began to fight with the other party.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The saber and sword collided, producing a large number of sparks.

The gaze of the man in black was calm, as if he was a puppet. Apart from his initial confusion, there were no other changes.

Ye Xuan was also extremely relaxed. He kept dealing with the other party. Sometimes, he attacked and sometimes, he defended. He advanced and retreated freely and kept enriching his combat experience.

As time passed, Ye Xuan found that his opponent’s strength was getting weaker and weaker, and the aura on his body was constantly decreasing.

As for himself, he was still almost at full strength, and did not consume much of his True Essence.

“Pfft—

Finally, because the man in black was weak, he was a beat slower and his head was pierced by Ye Xuan’s sword.

No blood flowed out.

The man in black leveled up and disappeared. Then, he turned into a stream of light and slowly dissipated.

“So I can last so long-

Ye Xuan slowly put away his long sword and sighed softly.

Previously, without comparing himself with a cultivator of the same level, Ye Xuan had no idea how strong he was without using his game cheat.

After this battle, Ye Xuan realized that his Foundation Establishment was indeed much stronger than others’ Foundation Establishment.

Otherwise, building a foundation would not have consumed such a huge number of spirit stones.

The stronger the foundation meant that his True Essence was more condensed and he could contain more of it.

After fighting for half an hour, the True Essence in the man in black was completely exhausted, but the True Essence in his body had barely changed much.

This was the difference.

“I really don’t know what I’ll encounter next- I‘ Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows in anticipation.

Soon, Ye Xuan came to the 4th checkpoint.

Perhaps because his cultivation was low, his opponent this time was still an elementary Level 2 demonic beast.

However, the number had increased to two.

With two Soul-Breaking Needles, Ye Xuan successfully cleared the checkpoint.

Then, he opened the treasure chest.

Obtained 20 low-grade spirit stones.

This was not bad.

The 5th checkpoint was still an instant kill.

The 6th checkpoint, another instant kill.

At the 7th checkpoint.

It was another man in black.

“Soul -Breaking Needle—”

But it was too late.

The invisible Soul-Breaking Needle instantly entered the other party’s mind.

Just when Ye Xuan thought that the other party might be stabbed into an idiot on the spot, he realized that the other party did not seem to have any reaction.

“Swoosh—”

This time, the man in black did not have any weapons in his hands. His pair of iron fists were covered in powerful energy as he attacked Ye Xuan ruthlessly.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The two of them fought again.

Ye Xuan was shocked.

It was not because of this guy’s strength, but because the other party was actually not afraid of soul attacks!

“Damn, aren’t you supposed to be of the same realm? If you don’t even have a soul, what’s the point of playing?!”

Ye Xuan cursed and was very speechless.

However, after thinking about it carefully, although these fellows were only phantoms, they were actually similar to puppets. They only had powerful combat instincts and no human thoughts of any kind. It was not wrong to be immune to soul attacks.

“Pfft—

After chopping off the other party’s head with one strike, Ye Xuan slowly put away his long sword with a slightly solemn expression.

“Looks like I have to be more serious…

Ye Xuan thought.

Soul attacks were one of his strongest reliance. He could use them against those demonic beasts, but they were useless against the phantoms of cultivators of the same level as him.

According to the combat strength of this Iron Fist cultivator, the combat strength of the phantom would increase by about 50% for every four checkpoints.

The combat power of demonic beasts did not increase much, but there were too many of them. For the average cultivator, it would consume a lot of energy.

After every checkpoint, although there was a break, it was not too much, only fifteen minutes.

With such a short period of time, the only way he could recover was by taking pills.

The cultivators of the Ten Thousand Star Kingdom might have medicinal pills, but the cultivators of the Thousand Moon Country had come in first. After so many years, most of the cultivators had exhausted their supplies and did not have many medicinal pills left.

Clearly, if anyone could really clear all the checkpoints, he would have to be a cultivator from the Ten Thousand Star Kingdom.
