The meridians in her body gradually expanded five times compared to before, and her dantian also grew larger and larger. Faintly floating water-blue mysterious Dao patterns appeared around her, and her bones began to become crystal clear under the tempering of the water spirit.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Fuyue slowly opened her eyes.
Water Spirit Body Formed!
...
"I observe that your cultivation is solid and quite impressive."
"However, you still lack practical experience. What this world has no shortage of is geniuses. Having high talent is nothing. You can only be considered capable if you can go all the way to the end."
"Your sect should have a trial tower or something similar, right? You can go there to cultivate. Only by laying a solid foundation will your future cultivation path be smoother."
Lu Fuyue nodded.
Meanwhile, in a cave hundreds of miles away.
"Elder Xuan, the Tianxuan Sect has put a bounty on my head everywhere, but my cultivation has only recovered to most of its original level."
"Is it only that thing in the Trial Tower of the Heavenly Profound Sect that can completely restore me?"
An old man's sigh rang out.
"That's right. With my current strength, I can no longer repair the crack in your dantian. The only way is to obtain that thing. However, you must not be captured again this time."
"Otherwise, even I would have a hard time rescuing you from so many people."
Remembering that it was Lu Fuyue who had brought him to this point where everyone hated him, Mo Qianci's face darkened, and he said coldly, "This time I will definitely be careful."
After all, he was going to collect this debt from someone.
A few days later, Lu Fuyue went to the Trial Tower.
Along the way, people would glance at her from time to time and whisper among themselves.
Lu Fuyue didn't care much. All they were saying was that she was really ruthless, managing to make the usually domineering Qian Duocai's cultivation level regress, leaving him severely injured and lying in bed like a cripple.
But thinking about it carefully, she really is that kind of person. If she's going to do something, she'll do it with the most force. If she's already hit someone, she'll make sure she feels good while the other person feels bad, since he started it.
...
As soon as Lu Fuyue stepped onto the outer perimeter of the Trial Tower, all the disciples' eyes fell on her. Those with lower cultivation levels immediately stepped back a few paces to make way for her.
She dared to lay a hand on Qian Duocai, let alone her disciples who had no background.
So it's best to avoid it if you see it.
Lu Fuyue did not refuse and directly took out her disciple token and placed it on the stone tablet in front of the Trial Tower. Immediately, several lines of large characters appeared on it.
Lu Fuyue, an inner disciple.
Cultivation level: Early stage of Foundation Establishment; Spiritual root: Top-grade water spiritual root.
Points: None.
Lu Fuyue looked at the information on it and then put away her disciple token.
The Water Spirit Body was too conspicuous, so the Water Margin gave him a jade pendant that could conceal his cultivation level and talent.
Unexpectedly, this jade pendant was able to evade the detection of the Trial Tower's stone tablet.
The disciples who had not yet entered the Trial Tower felt a mix of emotions upon seeing the words that appeared above the tower.
They thought the pampered young lady, who was so fragile she would die at the slightest step, was only fifteen years old, and her cultivation and spiritual roots were far superior to theirs.
Meanwhile, those who have cultivated for decades are still stuck in the Qi Refining stage.
The most terrifying talent in the entire Tianxuan Sect is among the top twenty on the Tianxuan Sect's genius list. I'm afraid this person will be on that list in the future.
However, those people are all established genius disciples, not like Lu Fuyue, who is only a little girl in her teens.
To say nothing of the distant past, just now, someone entered—Luo Chuanming, ranked tenth on the genius list and known as the number one person below the Golden Core stage.
Luo Mingchuan, 26 years old, late stage of Foundation Establishment, top-grade gold spiritual root, the second disciple under Elder Jianqing.
I just don't know if these two will run into each other.
Lu Fuyue walked straight in, and as she entered, the leaderboard above the Trial Tower changed.
Lu Fuyue, with zero points, ranks 11,120th.
...
The first level of the Trial Tower is almost entirely populated by demonic beasts in the Qi Refining stage.
Lu Fuyue deliberately concealed her aura and suppressed her cultivation to the eighth level of Qi Refining.
Her biggest weakness is her lack of practical experience, so today she will focus specifically on practical application.
The first floor was dimly lit. She walked for a long time but did not find a single demon beast. She couldn't help but wonder, "Wait a minute, this place should be full of demon beasts."
However, she didn't see any monsters, nor did she see any of the disciples who came to challenge the trials.
The surroundings were completely silent. She had never been to this place before, so she had no idea what was going on.
As they walked, they heard the sounds of fierce fighting ahead.
Lu Fuyue was slightly taken aback, it sounded like someone was fighting with a monster.
So she quickly followed the sound, but suddenly she stopped.
Not far away, a man in black swung his sword into the air. A burst of white light shone brightly, and countless demonic beasts screamed a few times before turning into ashes and disappearing.
At the same time, the leaderboard above the Trial Tower changed wildly within a second, with one person's ranking rising from thousands of places until it stopped at the top fifteen.
The disciples outside the Trial Tower were curious to see who was so powerful, but when they looked up, they saw a familiar name: Luo Mingchuan.
Oh, it's Senior Brother Luo. Then it's alright.
I thought there would be newcomers who could surpass them.
However, I wonder if Senior Sister Lu, who just entered, will be able to make it into the top 100 of the trial rankings?
...
The man in black seemed to sense something, and his gaze inadvertently fell on Lu Fuyue, but he indifferently looked away after only a second.
He sheathed his sword and stepped onto the second floor, remaining aloof and indifferent throughout.
That sword strike just now did indeed shock Lu Fuyue. It turned out that killing demonic beasts could be so swift and decisive, annihilating them without shedding a drop of blood.
Looking back at her own battles since she began cultivating, compared to the black-clad man's battle just now, hers was indeed far too drawn out.
Just then, five or six Foundation Establishment Peak demonic beasts rushed towards Lu Fuyue from the shadows after seeing the man who terrified them leave.
Lu Fuyue smiled calmly. Did they think she was easy to bully?
However, she still suppressed her cultivation to the same level as theirs, and then took out her zither.
Recalling the scene of the black-clad man slaying dozens of demonic beasts with a single sword strike, Lu Fuyue slowly closed her eyes, focusing her mind and spirit.
The first move of the Qin Kills the Nine Heavens: Sound Kills a Thousand Blades!
In an instant, the music transformed into thousands of blades, shooting straight at the brows of the demonic beasts.
Instantly, the screams of the monsters echoed throughout the first floor, and their bodies began to disappear, becoming transparent.
Lu Fuyue opened her eyes and saw the scene before her. A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes. She was still not as good as the person from before; he was too slow.
Next time, you can't do that again.
Outside the Trial Tower, someone suddenly pointed at the leaderboard above the tower and shouted, "Look, it's changed! Someone's ranking is rising rapidly!"
When everyone looked up, they saw that Lu Fuyue's ranking had climbed from over 10,000 to over 100, and her points had increased from zero to over 500.
When they saw it was her, they were shocked. How long had Lu Fuyue been inside? She had already killed so many demonic beasts, and she had never been here before.
