Feng Gouhun looked at Lin Caogen's resurrection and sneered, "Boy! I didn't take advantage of you! I accidentally injured you just now! To make up for your loss, you also earned a drop of my Nirvana Blood! Now you've come back from the dead! The Body Refining Technique in your body has directly advanced to the peak of the third level! Now your physical strength is enough to withstand a blow from a fourth-level demonic beast! Ordinary third-level demonic beasts would hardly survive under your fist! Shouldn't you be grateful to me?"
Lin Caogen let out a long breath, feeling as if he had truly returned from the brink of death!
He clasped his hands and said, "Thank you for your gift, Lord Soul Hook! Although I was injured, I gained this drop of Nirvana Blood! This blood is indeed miraculous, able to bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded, allowing me to be resurrected and my physical strength to increase several times over! I feel that my body is now full of power, and even the sect leaders of the three ring continents of the Immortal Gang Continent could be turned into mincemeat by my punch! Thank you!"
Feng Gouhun said, "Look at your pathetic and ignorant self! Kid! Now you can try to pass the test! I won't show favoritism! The first test is called the Bronze Man Formation! The rules are to use immortal essence to condense 18 bronze men, and each bronze man must be of the same rank as you! You are an outsider! So I will double the number of bronze men! You must fight 36 bronze men! And you cannot use any weapons or hidden weapons! You can only fight with your bare hands!"
Lin Caogen said, "Alright! Bring it on!"
Feng Gouhun sneered, "Originally, your cultivation was only at the peak of the second tier! I should have created 36 bronze figures at the peak of the second tier for you! But you just used Nirvana Blood! Your physical strength has reached the peak of the third tier! Even though you don't have an inner core yet, and your soul power is not at the third tier! But I still have to create 36 bronze figures at the peak of the third tier! Kid! Nirvana Blood isn't so easy to use! You'll lose the first test!"
Lin Caogen cursed Feng Gouhun in his heart, calling him a despicable villain!
Phoenix Soul-Hook completely ignored Lin Caogen's expression and slowly cast a spell, creating 36 halos around its body!
Immediately afterwards, thirty-six bronze figures appeared, each wielding a bronze staff!
This scene left Lin Caogen speechless!
As a spirit of the artifact, Feng Gouhun was able to conjure 36 bronze figures out of thin air, each one looking like a real person! Even Bai Zhi, Feng Xueyan, and his second brother Long Kangjin couldn't possibly possess such power!
Feng Gouhun sneered, "Boy! I know what you're thinking! I'm a demigod! Doing this is a piece of cake! There's a world of difference between a 9-star Demon Emperor and a demigod! Just like you saw a 10-pattern pill today! Are 10-pattern and 9-pattern the same thing? They're worlds apart!"
Lin Caogen said, "Feng Gouhun! You really are a scholar who never leaves his home! You know everything! You're something else! I admit defeat because of you!"
Feng Gouhun sneered, "Pleasant words are useless! You're just unlucky to die here!"
After saying this, the 36 bronze men, each holding a bronze club, shouted in unison, "Kneel down and die!"
Lin Caogen was also enraged by this shout in unison!
Now I can only fight with my bare hands! The only martial arts technique I've ever learned is the Vajra Finger!
This is a high-level Earth-rank martial skill! I have no choice but to use it!
The 36 bronze statues roared in unison!
"Outsider! Take this!"
Thirty-six copper rods flew out, piercing straight into Lin Caogen's chest like sharp arrows!
If it were only one or two thorns, Lin Caogen could still withstand them with his physical strength!
However, if 36 scallions attack from both the front and the back, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be crippled if they didn't dodge!
Lin Caogen used his brain, which was at 90% developed, to predict the escape route in advance!
Cleverly dodge through a gap!
Lin Caogen was worried that the thirty-six bronze men would use ranged attacks, so he dared not escape to a distance and could only hide among the bronze men! This way, even if the opponent used ranged magic, he could easily dodge it because of the charging time!
Feng Gouhun watched the commotion from the sidelines! He soon realized something was amiss!
Lin Caogen was clearly at the peak of the second tier, and at this moment his physical strength had reached the peak of the third tier, but how could he predict the movements of the bronze man with every move!
"Could this kid have mastered the laws of time? Does everyone's moves slow down in front of him?"
Lin Caogen was even more surprised!
"Why do these 36 bronze figures only have melee attacks and no ranged attacks that can unleash immortal energy? Could it be that these casually created bronze figures are incapable of using immortal techniques?"
Lin Caogen muttered to himself, after dodging seven or eight rounds, Lin Caogen completely confirmed his idea!
These 36 bronze figures were formed from celestial essence, their bodies as hard as metal, and their strength was very similar to that of a peak third-tier expert! However, they did not possess the ability to unleash celestial techniques, nor did they have the ability to attack with soul power!
"Excellent! As long as you engage in close combat! There are no ranged magic attacks or soul power attacks! What do I have to fear?"
Lin Caogen displayed his ability to defeat his enemy and anticipate their moves! He directly used his Vajra Finger to strike the ribs of one of the bronze statues!
This move was the best breakthrough that Lin Caogen found after analyzing tens of thousands of possibilities!
As expected!
Lin Caogen's finger strike contained his immortal energy attack, as well as a physical attack!
A laser beam shot out, first striking the bronze figure in the ribs! Immediately afterwards, Lin Caogen's fingers turned golden, like a golden finger. His physical strength had now reached the peak of the third rank, and his finger strength was even stronger than his internal force!
With a single finger, he pierced the ribs of the wounded bronze statue, his fingertip imbued with the destructive sword intent of the World-Destroying Sword Scripture!
Click!
A crisp sound came from inside the bronze figure!
With a single finger strike, Lin Caogen shattered half of the bronze statue's body! The bronze statue was crippled, and its bronze staff also dissipated into nothingness!
Feng Gouhun was greatly surprised!
