Gu Qingze thought that perhaps Murong Jin’s words were not entirely unreasonable.
He had been using traditional swordsmanship to fight monsters, but he had never thought about whether there was a more efficient and intelligent way.
Generally speaking, fire, thunder, dark, and sun spiritual roots have a significant inhibitory effect on monsters.
Although his spiritual root is a mutated ice spiritual root with a single attribute and is not included in the above-mentioned spiritual roots with a restraining effect, but... in the "Heavenly Ice Sword Technique" he practiced, there are three unique sword techniques that can compress the ice element to the extreme and then transform it into a blue flame.
This kind of flame, to a certain extent, may be able to simulate the restraining effect of fire-attributed spiritual roots on monsters.
After figuring out what moves to use, he turned to observing the monsters' attack patterns, looking for patterns.
As his observation deepened, Gu Qingze discovered that although these monsters were numerous, their attacks were not without pattern. They seemed to be guided by some force, attacking in batches in a regular pattern, with brief pauses between each attack.
Seizing this opportunity, Gu Qingze adjusted his battle strategy.
He no longer swung his sword blindly to kill, but took advantage of the gaps between the monsters' attacks, moved quickly, and seized the opportunity to use blue flames to deliver a fatal blow.
As a result, his combat efficiency was greatly improved, and the number of monsters began to gradually decrease.
Seeing this, Murong Jin was not surprised at all, as if all this was natural and logical.
As time went by, Gu Qingze and Murong Jin finally successfully crossed the stone bridge. To be precise, Gu Qingze finally successfully crossed the stone bridge and came to another area.
The environment here is completely different from before. There is no endless darkness and monster invasions, but instead a peaceful and tranquil environment.
Before Gu Qingze had a chance to catch his breath and adjust himself, he suddenly felt a force pushing him from behind. It turned out that Murong Jin pushed him forcefully into a magic circle that was flickering with faint light.
Murong Jin was not far away. Looking at Gu Qingze who had been staring at him, he explained, "This is the last remaining trial in the palace. If we pass this, we can leave here."
After saying that, he curled up the corners of his mouth into a smile, waved to Gu Qingze, and added: "Take care, I still hope you can return safely and not die in there."
Gu Qingze was speechless and could only say helplessly: "Then I really thank you."
"You're welcome. It's my pleasure."
Murong Jin seemed to be completely unable to understand the true meaning of his words and spoke seriously.
The magic circle didn't care that Gu Qingze was not prepared. Before he could say anything else, it teleported him away.
Murong Jin stared at the magic circle that had become dim again, his eyes unclear, as if he was thinking of some painful experience.
These trials... he had gone through them all before...
When he was only six years old, his father ruthlessly threw him into these unknown and dangerous places.
At that time, he was alone and had nothing. He had no storage bag to carry necessities, no armor to protect against damage, and no spiritual weapon to assist in combat.
All he could rely on was his own hands and his unyielding will, trying his best to pass the trial.
Thinking back on it now, I still feel scared.
He stood outside the magic circle, feeling a sense of curiosity and anticipation.
He didn't know whether Gu Qingze would encounter the legendary Nightmare Dragon after entering.
After all, the monsters in this magic circle are randomly refreshed and generated, and Gu Qingze might be lucky enough to avoid this powerful monster.
However, he hoped that Gu Qingze could encounter the Nightmare Dragon, because the Nightmare Dragon was one of the most interesting and difficult monsters to deal with, and its appearance would undoubtedly bring huge challenges and tests to Gu Qingze.
If Gu Qingze really encountered the Nightmare Dragon and engaged in a fierce battle with it, then this battle would definitely exhaust Gu Qingze, and he might even be beaten half to death.
Just thinking about this, Murong Jin felt an indescribable excitement in his heart, and his thoughts were like waves blown by the wind, surging endlessly. He was now caught in a complex and subtle contradictory psychology.
On the one hand, he hoped that Gu Qingze could pass this trial smoothly, not only to prove the unique vision of that adult, but also to successfully complete the important task assigned to him by that adult.
However, on the other hand, an indescribable negative emotion rose in Murong Jin's heart.
He had suffered too much torture and pain in this palace, and those memories were like a brand, deeply engraved in his heart.
He could not forget those days and nights, nor those moments that almost made him collapse.
Therefore, if Gu Qingze had the possibility of passing the trial easily, an irrepressible sense of imbalance would surge in his heart.
He hoped that Gu Qingze could also feel some of the pain and struggle he had experienced, so that he might feel a little better.
However, even after realizing this contradictory psychology, Murong Jin did not fall into stubbornness, entanglement and self-doubt. Instead, he chose to accept this contradiction with pleasure.
Because... he knew that people are complex, emotions are changeable, and no one can completely get rid of the existence of contradictory psychology.
So he took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and looked around.
He was about to leave again, saying goodbye to this place full of memories...but his emotions were complicated.
In fact, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad, or whether he felt relieved or the psychological shadow had not yet dissipated.
