[The Dragon King's Trial, First Chamber - The Hall of Fierce Battle]
A gaunt, emaciated old man's phantom stood in the center of the hall, blocking the door to the next room.
"What do we do?" The first two Yu Lan rooms were fine, but she was more interested in knowing how Su Cheng would defeat the phantom in the Integration stage with his Qi Refining cultivation.
Although Yu Lan didn't think anyone could do it, for some reason, looking at Su Cheng's back, she felt a little expectant, hoping that Su Cheng could bring her some surprises.
For example, with the cultivation level of Qi Refining 13, defeat this old Dragon King in the Integration stage.
The old Dragon King had a human body and a dragon's head, wore a yellow robe, and looked like a deity descended to earth, possessing supreme power.
He held a Guan Dao horizontally in the center of the secret realm, his sleeves slightly drooping, revealing an arm that was truly flesh and bone, only slightly thicker than the hilt of the Guan Dao.
Even so, he doesn't give off a weak feeling; on the contrary, you can tell at a glance that this old guy is no ordinary person!
"With your strength, sister should be able to reach the third level. The old dragon king in the first level shouldn't be a match for you."
Yu Lan smiled outwardly, but inwardly she was shocked. This Su Cheng actually! Could he predict her strength?
Not only did they understand the Dragon King's Trial, but they also had such an accurate prediction of her strength!
How much else does she know?
"Didn't you say you wanted me to follow behind you? What, are you going to change your mind?"
Su Cheng sighed inwardly. It seemed that Yu Lan was becoming more and more wary of him. Compared to his indifference at the time, he was now becoming more and more cautious of him!
There's a lot of probing going on between the lines!
"Don't worry, sister. Just follow me." Su Cheng pretended to be nonchalant. He didn't want to show his fear, whether it was because the other party looked like a little devil or because of his second disciple.
Yu Lan was delighted. "Hey, I really want to see how you're going to deal with this old dragon king in the Nascent Soul stage!"
Seeing that Su Cheng seemed to be looking for some kind of mechanism, he walked around the area to the wall...
What are you looking for?
"I didn't look for anything. Just follow me and stay close to the wall."
"Why?"
"Don't ask so many questions, just follow me."
Yu Lan was also a little surprised. This guy... actually talked to her like that?
You find her annoying? Fine!
Su Cheng also walked carefully along the wall. The system's secret realm strategy function was unavailable, otherwise he would have followed the system's instructions.
At this point, he could only try to find a solution based on the information provided by the system.
Fortunately, the information provided by the system was detailed enough. This old dragon king was just a phantom. As the gatekeeper of the first room, although he looked thin, he was actually tough and impervious to swords and spears!
To defeat it, a quick attack is out of the question. Even Yu Lan would need a whole day and night to wear down the old dragon king, which was just a phantom!
However, Su Cheng would certainly not choose to confront it head-on. Since it was a phantom like a trap, it must have a trigger mechanism or a distance determination mechanism.
According to the data provided by the system, the initial range of the old dragon king's detection distance is not large, with a radius of about fifteen meters.
In other words, all you have to do is go around it; the end of the fierce battle is to avoid fighting altogether.
Yu Lan followed Su Cheng, inching forward along the wall, and soon they had circled around to the back of the Old Dragon King...
"You're trying to take shortcuts! This is the Dragon King's trial, how can you do this?"
For Yu Lan, this was not just a test of strength, but a way to gain the approval of the successive Dragon Kings!
Only by gaining the approval of all the Dragon Kings can one pass the trial and become a true Dragon King, thus wielding that imperial weapon!
“This is wisdom of mine. Knowing that I am no match for the enemy, I still go into battle. In my brother’s eyes, this is both bravery and a kind of helplessness.”
"What do you mean?" Yu Lan was about to lose her composure; this was an insult to all the previous Dragon Kings!
Although she didn't view humans as livestock or ants like Ye Qinghan and Su Muchan, she was still somewhat unhappy about this defilement!
"nothing."
Yu Lan was getting a little carried away. What do you mean, "nothing much"? You think it's nothing just because you say so?
She stood on tiptoe and grabbed Su Cheng's collar, pulling the tall man down to eye level with her!
He then gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Explain yourself!"
"Don't shout so loudly, the old Dragon King will wake up!"
"If you don't explain yourself clearly, I'm going to wake him up!"
However, the most helpless person at this moment was Su Cheng. He had no choice but to coax this big sister who was less than 1.5 meters tall!
"Sister Yu Lan, I have no intention of belittling the Dragon Kings of all time. Please listen to me first."
Su Cheng gently pried open her small hands, slowly loosened her collar, and then spoke.
"Sister Yu Lan, you may not know this, but I have witnessed the demise of countless lives. The beliefs of these people were not all the same. Some were willing to die with hope for the future, while others never looked back after receiving a military order. Some died to protect their loved ones, while others cut off their own way out simply to exchange space for time."
"They are all heroes, but I don't need to say more. Sister Yu Lan will understand. If she could, who wouldn't want to live on with the one they love?"
"Death is not difficult; what is difficult is living on with the attachment to the deceased. If I am gone, what will become of my disciples?"
"To me, to disregard life is to be irresponsible to loved ones, and I will try it whenever I have the chance."
Yu Lan just stared into those eyes. What the man said might not be right, but it made sense.
Yu Lan wasn't an unreasonable person. In fact, she didn't hold a grudge against Su Cheng's avoidance of battle; on the contrary, she expected him to be opportunistic. She was simply angered by Su Cheng's tone. In her eyes, all the Dragon Kings of the past were worthy of respect!
