At the martial arts conference.
"The second round of tests is over, and the third round of tests begins!"
The immortal's voice echoed in everyone's ears.
However, at this time everyone was still immersed in the shock caused by Li Xuan.
Most of the contestants from the outer and inner areas originally planned to come and see the world and see how big the gap is between them and the top talents in the hermit world.
But after seeing this this time, they even had an illusion in their hearts: Are we not from the same world after all?
Compared with them, can we still be considered geniuses?
Li Xuan also had a different feeling in his heart. He knew before that his talent and comprehension were very strong, but he didn't know how strong they were.
Now there is a concrete manifestation. It turns out that I am so much stronger than them!
"You all should be very clear about how difficult it is to fight against opponents of higher levels in the later stages of a realm, and how difficult it is to turn defeat into victory when facing siege from numerous powerful opponents of the same level."
"So if you want to become a top-tier warrior, strength alone is not enough; you also need sufficient strategy and wisdom!"
The immortal was not in a hurry to explain the rules of the third round, but was waiting for them to gradually come to their senses.
"This third round of tests will test your strategies and wisdom. I will throw you into an incredibly realistic ancient world and divide you into two camps."
"You have opposing faction victory conditions, but your strength will be suppressed to the same level. You need to rely on your own strategy and wisdom to achieve your faction's victory conditions!"
As the immortal finished speaking, each contestant was directly teleported into a secret world.
Li Xuan felt his body rising rapidly, the world beneath his feet became smaller and smaller, and then a burst of white light filled his vision.
Then he found himself in an ancient city, surrounded by pedestrians walking back and forth, but they were all wearing ancient costumes.
Li Xuan lowered his head and saw that he had changed into a set of ancient coarse cloth clothes without knowing when. However, this ordinary civilian clothing did not hide his perfect figure and handsome face.
On the street, he is still the most eye-catching one.
"Strange, my power has been completely blocked!"
Li Xuan tried to operate it and prepared to use his skills, but he found that his mental strength was pitifully weak, and his attributes were reduced to only slightly stronger than those of an ordinary person.
"Is this what power suppression is? This suppression is too terrifying."
Fortunately, his skills can still be used, which should be his greatest reliance, but his mental strength and attributes are extremely low.
Even the mythical skills can only exert a little power, and the effects of various mental skills are not as good as before.
This made him extremely uncomfortable. Not only could he not continue flying, but he also seemed to have returned to around level ten. Those mythical skills consumed a lot of mental energy.
I can only use one at a time now, and it will be troublesome if I encounter several groups of opponents.
Ancient World Background: The Qin Emperor was incompetent and obsessed with beauty, neglecting state affairs. This led to the people's miserable lives, angering the heavens and the people, and a large area of Qin's land was occupied by foreign races.
[The common people have become prey to the blood of foreigners. The civil organization Tiandihui secretly supports the wise ruler Prince Jing and plans to assassinate the old emperor and make Prince Jing ascend the throne.]
[Outer Area, Inner Area Mission: Cooperate with the Imperial Palace Guards and Imperial Guards to prevent the Tiandihui's assassination attempt]
[Core Area Faction Mission: Assassinate the Old Emperor]
"The missions for the outer and inner areas are actually the same. Does that mean our core area has been divided into one faction, fighting against everyone else?"
After seeing this task, the first thing that came to Li Xuan's mind was this question.
He still remembered how many people there were in the outer and inner areas during the first round of testing. Under normal circumstances, he could fight all of them alone.
But now everyone's strength has been suppressed to the current level, and the gap in strength is not that big. If there is a head-on battle, I will be the one crushed.
Even if we count the other geniuses in the core area, there are only a dozen of them in total, which is nothing compared to the people in the outer and inner areas.
If the two sides engage in a head-on battle, it would be like an egg hitting a stone.
"This round of testing really requires strategy and wisdom! But as the saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. Don't the people in the inner and outer areas have any strategies?"
Li Xuan had just been looking around. The people here were indeed pale and thin, with almost no smiles on their faces.
When he went up to ask, he found out that this was the imperial capital of Qin and the largest city in Qin.
"Looks like I'm lucky. I was teleported to the Imperial City right away. No need to rush!"
The people here live like this, so one can imagine how difficult life is for those living in other ancient cities, especially in marginal areas.
I'm afraid even the simplest survival cannot be guaranteed.
The people here are all ordinary people. I just don’t know how strong the imperial guards are. If they are all strong ordinary people.
He could find a way to rush into the palace and assassinate the old emperor before others could reach the imperial city, thus completing the mission.
"Quick! Capture this traitor!"
"We must not let her escape! She dares to assassinate His Majesty! If she is caught, she must be cut into pieces!"
"The Imperial City is full of Imperial Guards. I want to see where she can run to."
There was a sound of galloping horses, and Li Xuan saw a group of mounted imperial guards chasing a palace maid whose dress was stained with blood.
Assassinating the emperor? Rebellious traitors?
After hearing these two key points, Li Xuan guessed the identity of this palace maid.
At this moment, the people around made way for her after hearing the noise. The palace maid who failed in the assassination attempt naturally could not outrun the horse.
Just as he was about to be chased, a figure stepped out from the front and stood in the middle of the road.
“Get out of the way!”
The maid shouted anxiously.
Li Xuan suddenly raised his hand, and flying swords condensed behind him.
This is the skill he currently possesses that consumes the least mental energy, and is a good way to deal with groups of enemies.
Whoosh whoosh!
Flying swords flew out in an instant and passed by the palace maid, leaving only the sound of the flying swords passing by in her ears.
The palace maid turned around in confusion, only to see the blood-soaked imperial guards all fallen off their horses, with bloody holes all over their bodies.
This...what kind of magical method is this?
Coming from an ordinary world, she had never seen such methods before. Even some martial arts masters still used ordinary methods.
It would take a long time to defeat these imperial guards, but the man in front of him... uh... handsome man, killed them all with just a wave of his hand?
