Just then, countless raging flames rose from beneath Lu Fuyue's feet, surrounding her completely. The scorching flames grew stronger and stronger, attempting to engulf her.
However, Lu Fuyue, who had experienced the Nirvana Divine Fire, was not afraid of such low-level demonic beast fire at all. She lowered her eyes and looked at the raging fire beneath her. In no time, the flames dissipated as if they had encountered something terrifying.
Enraged by this, the two peak Foundation Establishment stage Fiery Cloud Devouring Beasts lunged at her with their sharp claws outstretched.
The powerful demonic energy sent the surrounding low-level demonic beasts flying, but it only rustled a corner of Lu Fuyue's clothes.
She pursed her lips, raised her hand to retrieve the Weak Water Zither, activated the Phoenix Body Refining Technique, leaped up, and kicked the Fiery Cloud-Swallowing Beast in front of her hard on the head.
In an instant, the head of the Fiery Cloud-Swallowing Beast burst open, blood splattering everywhere, and its massive body collapsed with a crash, sending up layers of dust.
The other Cloud-Swallowing Fire Beast behind her, seeing its mate die tragically, looked up and howled in agony. Then, it mobilized its beast core and pounced on Lu Fuyue without regard for anything else, wanting to perish together with her.
A scream from a Foundation Establishment stage demon beast rang out, startling all the low-level demon beasts on the second level into scattering in all directions, fearing that they would anger that fiend and lose their lives.
Lu Fuyue's eyes darkened, and she immediately guessed the Fire-Swallowing Cloud Beast's plan. With a flick of her sleeve, the Weak Water Zither appeared in her arms, and her fingers flew back and forth across the strings.
Countless ice blades, like raindrops falling from the sky, landed on the Fiery Cloud-Swallowing Beast. In no time, before the Fiery Cloud-Swallowing Beast could self-destruct, the ice blades pierced through its flesh and veins, preventing the beast from self-destructing at its source.
Lu Fuyue quickened her pace as she played the zither. Before the Fiery Cloud-Swallowing Beast could react, it was instantly reduced to ashes and its soul scattered in terror.
Seeing that the obstacle had been cleared, Lu Fuyue stopped, waved her sleeve, and the zither in her hand returned to her sea of consciousness.
Suddenly, a gray, palm-sized sword appeared out of nowhere and flew in front of her.
A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Fuyue's eyes. She didn't remember that there would be a reward for passing the second level.
So what is this thing?
...
Meanwhile, on the leaderboard above the Trial Tower, Lu Fuyue's name soared upwards, and her points continued to increase until she was ranked several thousandth, stopping at around four hundredth place, with her points several times higher than before.
The disciples outside the Trial Tower were still somewhat shocked by what they saw.
The points in the Trial Tower are determined by the number and quality of the monsters killed inside. Although Senior Sister Lu is only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, she has already killed so many monsters in such a short time.
I'm afraid even Senior Brother Luo back then wasn't as fast as Senior Sister Lu.
Perhaps in the cultivation world competition a hundred years from now, Senior Sister Lu might be able to compete with those already famous geniuses.
After dealing with the monsters on the second floor, Lu Fuyue continued to the third floor, completely ignoring the gray sword that had just appeared.
Do not touch things of unknown origin.
Besides, she is a zither player; what would she do with a sword?
However, the small gray sword followed Lu Fuyue at a leisurely pace.
As Lu Fuyue made her way to the third floor, she kept a watchful eye on the movements behind her.
What was the purpose of the two people following her all this way?
Suddenly, she seemed to remember her mother mentioning that there were two guardians inside the Trial Tower, whose purpose was to protect what was inside the ninth floor.
Could it be them?
Lu Fuyue quickly reached the third level. Perhaps because her bloodline power had already been tempered, her five senses and divine sense were now extremely sensitive.
If she's not mistaken, her spiritual sense has probably already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, so she sensed their presence as soon as they appeared.
After Lu Fuyue left the second floor, the two gray-robed old men reappeared. The tall, thin old man with a white beard said, "This little girl has probably sensed our presence."
Another short, stout guardian nodded. "Probably."
"But then again, this little girl is only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, yet she sensed our presence. Isn't that a bit too heaven-defying?"
"Genius has its own destiny, and talent has its own people; some things cannot be judged by common sense."
"Since that thing has chosen her, it means that she may be the key to breaking the deadlock."
As soon as Lu Fuyue stepped into the third level of the Trial Tower, she was immediately alerted by the six early-stage Golden Core demonic beasts inside, namely the Gale Wolves.
The Golden Core stage demon beasts already possessed consciousness and instantly sensed that the person approaching was not to be trifled with; only by working together could they kill her.
As a result, Lu Fuyue was immediately surrounded by six early-stage Golden Core Gale Wolves.
The swift wolf's eyes glowed green as it stared intently at Lu Fuyue, slowly surrounding her.
Lu Fuyue remained calm, showing no sign of tension, just as the six Gale Wolves pounced on her.
She leaped up with her toes touching the ground, formed hand seals, and divided her divine sense into six paths, each of which she sent into the consciousness of a swift wolves. Then, she suddenly withdrew her senses, and instantly the six swift wolves collapsed to the ground, bleeding from their seven orifices and lifeless.
...
Gradually, Lu Fuyue continued to kill monsters as she climbed higher. Most of these monsters were either in the mid-stage or late-stage of the Golden Core realm.
Soon, she entered the fourth level of the Trial Tower. After killing the last demon beast, Lu Fuyue swayed and almost fell to the ground. Her face became increasingly pale and bloodless, and her spiritual power gradually ran out.
Lu Fuyue raised her eyes and looked toward the entrance to the fifth floor of the Trial Tower, a resolute glint in her eyes.
She actually really enjoys the feeling of improving her skills through constant real combat. Brushing past danger and death time and time again never brings her fear, but rather excitement and exhilaration.
Only a crisis can unleash her potential, make her realize her shortcomings, and then help her fill in the gaps, thereby improving her strength and giving her the right to take the initiative in the face of challenges.
A moment later, Lu Fuyue put away the Weak Water Zither in her hand and sat down on the ground to quickly recover her spiritual power.
After the Phoenix bloodline evolved, while others needed five hours to recover their spiritual power, she only needed half an hour.
...
On the leaderboard above the Trial Tower, Lu Fuyue's name and ranking points are rising rapidly again.
This once again shocked everyone. "Senior Sister Lu... has she already entered the fifth level? But the demonic beasts on the fifth level have already reached the peak of the Golden Core stage, and there is even a possibility of encountering demonic beasts at the half-step Nascent Soul stage."
"I wonder who has the better talent, Senior Sister Lu or Uncle Yan."
