A drop of crystal tear fell, reflecting a black metal pillar that went straight up to the sky. The pillar went up from the mountainside to the sky, and contained extremely sharp energy, like a special sharp sword. If it fell slightly off the side, it could cut this Tongtian Peak in half.

Beyond the tears, this thick pillar that looked like a metal fragment was not so thin, but was a hundred meters wide. All of this energy was released from Xia Xiao's body, enough to cover his body. If he couldn't struggle out and absorbed it, he would be crushed to death.

In the past, Xia Xiao was quite happy when he awakened the five elements, because it meant that he would regain a kind of power, but it also meant that one of the elements would be suppressed by him. Although the process was a bit difficult, when the evil spirit awakened, it almost cost him his life. In order to awaken the water element, Xia Xiao choked on water several times, but none of them were as fatal as this time.

The smell of metal attracted many people in the academy. Some students at the foot of the mountain had just returned from their missions, while others were preparing to carry out their missions. But they all raised their eyes and looked towards the mountainside.

In the three months since Xia Xiao left, only the Vice President of the Adventurer's Guild, Long Suihong, and Tianming had walked up the mountainside. The rest of the people still had two months, and they couldn't walk up early, so they had to complete the mission. But if they couldn't complete the mission, they wouldn't even be qualified to walk up the mountain road, let alone try to step onto the mountainside again.

While they were still busy and worried that they could not stay, the problems Xia Xiao faced were no longer something they could handle. The distance between them was getting bigger and bigger, and Xia Xiao was always alone, walking on a road that led to a farther distance.

In the contract space, on the grassland connecting the forest, volcano and the sea, the three beasts gathered and watched Xia Xiao go. Compared with the beginning, the vitality of the gold line has gradually stabilized. They can't go to the gold line space, so Xia Xiao will go alone this time.

Ju Mang stared in silence. This was an extremely dangerous battle. He could lose, but he couldn't let the golden beast leave. Otherwise, Xia Xiao and them would all die! Xiao Yu clasped her hands together, as if she was praying. Huo Dou was more direct. He took a few steps forward, ran to the edge of the grassland, and roared:

"You must come back alive!"

Xia Xiao turned around and smiled faintly. Although he did not have the awareness to be indifferent to life and death, he had the tenacity to never give up.

"I will bring him back with me."

"Don't forget our plan!"

When Ju Mang reminded him, Xia Xiao raised his chin and walked towards the Jinxing Palace, which had been unblocked by the gray blockade. The Jinxing Palace was built at the bottom of a steep valley, surrounded by iron-like rock walls with thousands of broken swords stuck on them. There was no way out of the iron wall, so he groped his way down, thinking about what he would say when he saw the Jinxing Beast.

Xia Xiao didn't have a lot to say, but he was shameless. Even if he was shameless and bluffing, he had to keep the golden beast in his body. He wanted to run away, but there was no way!

Before he even walked into the hall, Xia Xiao had already discovered the specialness of the gold element space. He could use the power of the wood element in the forest, he could stir up magma in the volcano, he could move freely in the sea and even breathe. But here, he couldn't use any power, like a defenseless chicken.

Xia Xiao wanted to fly directly to the palace, but he couldn't spread his wings, so he discovered these things. The slow reaction of the body was all caused by this gold space. It seems that the plan proposed by Ju Mang Huo Dou must be implemented, otherwise he will suffer a great loss!

They had been preparing for this day for a long time, so Huodou told Xia Xiao at the beginning of the Golden Spirit Beast's revival that he must not fight in the contract space. He couldn't use the Golden Energy in the Golden Space, and had no chance of winning. It was also not possible in this grassland. Although it was close to the forest, volcanoes and the sea, it was too narrow. As long as he was enveloped by the sharp energy, he would lose. Therefore, he could only fight outside!

Looking at the palace below, Xia Xiao jumped straight off the steep cliff. After falling a distance, Xia Xiao grasped the handle of the dagger with one hand, turned around, and jumped onto the iron stone beside him.

In this monotonous metal land, only the light reflected by them added a little color. But this was far from enough to calm Xia Xiao's heart. He stood in front of the hall and felt for the first time that this hall was so huge.

When I looked down from a high place before, this place was as short as a small bungalow. It felt like when Xia Xiao first came to the academy, he thought the blue-tiled houses beside the peach forest were very low, but they had five floors. At this time, the palace only had one floor, but it was taller than the fifth floor. This was the tallest palace Xia Xiao had ever seen, taller than the palace in the sky in the coffin, and comparable to the Dragon Palace.

“Kind of handsome.”

Xia Xiao actually didn't want to talk anymore, but he had to talk back. He had to use his best arrogance this time, and he was ready. But when he walked into the hall, he was afraid of the coldness inside.

Although the temperature in the palace was not high, there was a dying Mars. It had previously rushed out countless metallic energy, like a pillar, rubbing the palace to produce sparks, and these were the remnants. And this dark place soon exuded a metallic chill, which made Xia Xiao's eyes even colder.

Following the road, Xia Xiao went towards the main hall along the countless upright metal pillars on both sides of his body.

The hall was wide and simple, with only black iron and metal colors. There were only two lines on it, without much deep meaning, but the depressing atmosphere made Xia Xiao feel depressed. He came here for negotiations, but the negotiation location was set in a cold iron cave, which did not seem to be a good intention.

The metal ground was like a mirror. Although it was as dark as the surroundings, Xia Xiao could still see his face when he lowered his head. Xia Xiao's face was extremely cold. He moved forward again, leaving very loud footsteps in the wide and empty metal hall. Deep in the empty hall, there was an altar. There were cracks on the altar, as if they were cut by swords, emitting a dark black-purple metallic luster, sharp and heavy.

According to Xia Xiao's experience, there would usually be something on the altar. It could be a swaddling cloth made of leaves, a ball of flame, or a spiral egg case, but it shouldn't be this kind of thing. In his eyes, a black and purple straight sword was inserted in the center of the altar. It was twice as wide as the broadsword Xia Xiao was familiar with, with few patterns on it, simple but powerful.

The straight sword was inserted along the crack, and the brilliance inside made it extremely mysterious, like a holy sword with extreme destructive power. As long as it was pulled out, a very prestigious name would be obtained.

Xia Xiao did not go forward. If this was an ancient relic, he might have taken a risk. As the saying goes, wealth and honor come in danger. If you want to get something, you must pay a price. But this sword is not just a sword, it is also a golden spirit beast. It should have another form. Before he woke up, Huodou and the others felt that he wanted to leave, so now he must protect himself.

Even after coming this far, Xia Xiao did not forget that he came here just to negotiate terms!

The hall was dark, and Xia Xiao stood there for a long time without moving. There was a chill in the hall, which made Xia Xiao frown gradually, and finally spoke.

"Isn't it time to show up?"

It's been so long, it's time to show up and talk. Xia Xiao prepared to resist the impact, but even if all the vitality in his body was mobilized, it was still not worth mentioning in this gold space.

On the altar, countless black and purple lights gathered together and formed a human figure. He was extremely tall, nearly two meters tall, with no facial features, only a rough outline of his body, like a ghost with legs.

Dark purple particles were floating in the air, and they kept condensing into armor that a vague human figure was wearing. The armor fit closely to the body, without any bloating, making him look like an extremely agile warrior. The visor buckled under the helmet and on the face was gloomy because of the dark purple light in the eyes below.

Reaching out, the fully armed warrior seized the sword on the altar.

The armor, which was previously only pitch black, began to have patterns. These patterns appeared with sparks, as if being pushed from left to right by an awl. The dark purple patterns shone with light, making the black armor particularly domineering. But when it withdrew its brilliance, it suddenly lost all color, as if it had merged with the armor.

The warrior exerted his strength and suddenly pulled up the sword on the altar. It seemed as heavy as a mountain and not as light as it looked. The sword drew two huge arcs in the air, and the sword energy cut through the air, flashing an extremely heavy and unusually sharp black-purple light.

Raising the sword high, as it pointed downward in the air towards Xia Xiao, the warrior let out an extremely deep and magnetic voice.

"You are too weak. If I want to kill you, I only need one sword."

Xia Xiao raised his eyebrows. Is this the first sentence the Golden Spirit Beast said to him? How arrogant.

"You already know I'm weak before the fight even starts?"

Without moving his feet, the sword flew out with the warrior. The blade pointed at Xia Xiao's eyes, as if it would pierce through them in the next moment. But Xia Xiao didn't even blink, just staring at it, as if he knew it wouldn't continue to stab. In fact, Xia Xiao didn't know, he just didn't react, but he had to make himself look more handsome. If he couldn't even stay calm, wouldn't he be at a disadvantage before the fight even started?

Xia Xiao is good at disguising himself and hiding his thoughts, because he knows how to stay calm and keep his emotions in his heart. Eyes are the windows to the soul, but his windows are often closed. At this moment, he raised his hand, wanting to move the sword away.

In the dark palace, the tip of the sword shone with a cold light. Xia Xiao's fingers touched it, but he didn't move it away. Xia Xiao tried his best, but it was like being fixed by a machine. Finally, Xia Xiao gave up, turned his gaze, looked at the eyes under the mask, and took the initiative to declare war.

"I know you want to leave, but you have to at least beat me. Otherwise, why? Why do you live and I die?"

"Okay, how do we fight?"

The sword was put away, and after the warrior swung a few strands of sword energy in the air, it was put behind his arm. He took the posture of a strong man, wanting a fair and just fight, he wanted to convince Xia Xiao.

Xia Xiao didn't expect it to be so simple, so he said to go out and fight. The warrior had no reason to refuse, so he nodded and reminded him.

"I'll let you have three moves first, you have to cherish them!"

"What if I don't accept it?"

Xia Xiao hated it the most when he said, "You give up a few moves, and I give up a few moves." He acted so noble, but he misunderstood the Golden Spirit Beast. He just felt sorry for Xia Xiao. A strong man should have a compassionate heart, and he has it!

"Take it, this is your chance."

Xia Xiao would not accept it. He had to convince the Golden Spirit Beast and then turn it into his own strength. He had the mark left by the ancestor of the Spirit Contract on his body. The Golden Spirit Beast had its own things to do, so didn't he? Regardless of his desire to win or Xia Xiao's desire to survive, he had to win this game! And he really wouldn't accept these three moves!

"Let's go!"
