The sword puppet seemed oblivious to the pain and continued to hack wildly at Chen Zhou.
The sword draw slash requires a short charging time, which the sword puppet doesn't have, so his moves are completely chaotic and just wild slashing.
Due to his enormous size, he had a significant advantage. Chen Zhou had to do his best to dodge every attack, otherwise he could be hit at any moment.
Just then, Chen Zhou's true energy had recovered somewhat. With the support of his true energy, Chen Zhou no longer needed to exert so much effort to lift the Heavy Edge Sword.
Xingyi Cloud Sword.
Chen Zhou silently pondered the first move of the Sword Cloud Technique, Xingyi Cloud Sword. Faced with such chaotic and disorderly slashing, Xingyi Cloud Sword had a unique advantage.
Chen Zhou believed that as long as he could use the Xingyi Cloud Sword, he would have a very good chance of defeating this sword puppet.
The sword energy remaining in Chen Zhou's body was released at this moment. Chen Zhou focused on the Xingyi Cloud Sword. The sword seemed to be as chaotic as the sword puppet, but Chen Zhou could change the direction of the Heavy Edge Sword's pointing point invisibly every time.
One sword.
The heavy sword struck the sword puppet, and another crack appeared on its body.
Two swords.
Another crack appeared in the sword puppet's chest.
Three swords.
Four swords.
Five swords.
After being struck five times in succession, the sword puppet's chest was now covered with crisscrossing cracks.
However, the sword puppet failed to land a single blow, because Chen Zhou's Xingyi Cloud Sword caused the sword puppet, which had no intelligence to begin with, to only strike its shadows.
Just as Chen Zhou was about to deliver his sixth sword strike, the crack in the sword puppet's chest suddenly exploded, shattering the sword puppet into pieces. The next second, that aged voice rang out.
"Congratulations on passing the first test. There is still one more test before you can obtain the sword spirit's recognition as your master."
Chen Zhou nodded, put down the heavy sword, and quietly waited for the next test.
The first test was difficult, but not too difficult. The sword puppet could mimic the opponent's techniques and automatically enhance their power.
However, once the sword puppet enters a chaotic slashing mode, as long as you use a technique that allows it to both prevent the sword puppet from hitting you and allow you to attack the sword puppet, you can succeed.
Xingyi Cloud Sword perfectly meets this condition.
After a short rest, the azure world around Chen Zhou suddenly began to change, and a hellish world appeared before his eyes.
Everywhere was crimson lava, and volcanoes belching black smoke were spewing out streams of lava.
Chen Zhou was suddenly transported to this hellish world and immediately felt the temperature rise dramatically; his clothes were quickly soaked with sweat.
"What kind of place is this?" Chen Zhou stood there and looked around. He had been in the Sword Cloud Sect since he could remember and rarely went outside of the Sword Cloud Sect. He had only been to the Southern Kingdom a few times.
This was the first time Chen Zhou had ever encountered such a place; he had no idea that such a place existed in the world.
Just as Chen Zhou looked around curiously, a sword appeared out of thin air in each of the volcanoes.
"The second test: find the Heavy Edge Sword and take it!" The aged voice came from all directions.
These swords appeared almost at the same time, and they all look almost identical, all resembling heavy-bladed swords. How can we find them?
Moreover, every volcano here is very tall. Standing on the flat ground, Chen Zhou could only look up at those towering volcanoes and the "heavy sword" of the crater.
Even if Chen Zhou found out which one was the "Heavy Sword," he would still have difficulty climbing up it. Whether it was the height or the temperature, the temperature would rise a lot with every little bit he climbed. Chen Zhou could clearly see the heat waves rolling on the volcano.
"Time is limited. If you do not obtain the Heavy Sword within the limited time, you will be considered to have failed the test."
Chen Zhou immediately set to work, his feet treading on the scorching earth, each step leaving a footprint.
These swords look almost identical, so it shouldn't be difficult to find them by appearance alone. Chen Zhou was looking for the feeling he had during his battle with the sword puppet. The only way to find it now was through that feeling.
If you can successfully recapture that feeling, then that sword will be a heavy-duty sword.
Chen Zhou first slowly climbed up the nearest volcano, stepping on the heatwave. Now he should climb one and then use his true energy to jump directly to the next one, which would be much more efficient.
But the current problem is, how do we climb up?
These volcanoes have many pits and holes, which can be climbed by stepping on them or by using your hands. However, the volcanic soil is very soft, and Chen Zhou did not use much force before that piece collapsed directly.
Not to mention using true qi; if you tried to use true qi, the area would collapse before you even stepped on it.
Chen Zhou tried many times under the volcano, but each time his feet would collapse after he had climbed a certain distance.
