The spirit of the Heavy Edge Sword?
Chen Zhou was startled, recalling the strong suction force from the heavy sword in his hand just now.
Could it be that my arrival in this so-called spiritual world was caused by the pull of ghosts and monsters?
"This is the Heavy Sword's test for you; that pulling force is called Soul Attraction. At this moment, your soul and I are in your spiritual world."
The aged voice came again.
Chen Zhou thought of the nature of Soul Weapons: they require a soul to be infused into them before they will recognize their master and thus unleash their full power.
But why did I keep the Heavy Sword for so long without recognizing it as my master until now?
"You weren't qualified to be the master of the Heavy Edge Sword before, and now you can only be said to be barely qualified."
Barely a little?
What does this mean?
Does this mean I haven't passed the test yet?
"I haven't passed the test yet?" Chen Zhou said dejectedly.
"The test hasn't officially begun yet," the aged voice continued to echo from all directions.
The voice surrounded Chen Zhou, and Chen Zhou couldn't tell where the person making the voice was. Could it be that the sword spirit was an illusion?
"With your current strength, you can't see me yet. Only after you pass the test of the Heavy Edge Sword will I, as the sword spirit, appear in your spiritual world."
Chen Zhou nodded and asked, "How shall the test begin?"
"If you are ready, the test can begin immediately."
Without any hesitation, Chen Zhou said resolutely, "Then let's begin!"
"Ta-da..."
As soon as the voice faded, a strange melody, just like the voice of the aged sword spirit, came from all directions, and the Heavy Edge Sword instantly appeared in Chen Zhou's hand.
A gigantic figure slowly emerged from the azure blue world ahead.
This man was tall and covered in an iron helmet, which was pierced with iron swords. His entire body was covered in steel, and Chen Zhou could not even see his eyes.
And its entire body was covered in black iron swords, making it look like a living hedgehog.
"The Sword Spirit Trial mainly tests the strength of your soul. Releasing a sword puppet in your spiritual world is to see how long you can last."
An aged voice drifted over.
Chen Zhou didn't know how long he could hold out, but he didn't hesitate at all. After the sect competition and several life-or-death battles, he had learned to take the initiative and was fearless.
The sword puppet's weakness is its clumsiness, so Chen Zhou's draw slash is easy to execute.
"Draw Sword Slash".
As soon as he approached the sword puppet, Chen Zhou used all his strength to lift the heavy sword and shouted loudly.
The word "slash" had barely left his lips when Chen Zhou's heavy sword clashed heavily with the sword puppet's armor.
"Bang......"
The sword puppet's armor clashed with the heavy sword, but the somewhat worn heavy sword not only remained unharmed, but also managed to cut a crack in the sword puppet's armor.
The art of drawing the sword emphasizes strength and dominance.
Only by possessing both can one truly unleash a draw slash.
Chen Zhou's current strength is enough to unleash a powerful sword-drawing slash.
"Bang bang..."
The sword puppet was knocked back several steps before stopping and regaining its footing. Just as Chen Zhou touched the ground, the sword puppet raised a long iron sword in its hand and charged towards Chen Zhou at high speed.
Due to its enormous size, the sword puppet's one step was equivalent to two or three steps for Chen Zhou. Before Chen Zhou could react, the sword puppet's longsword was already in front of him.
Who says sword puppets are clumsy?
Chen Zhou was startled; this sword puppet was indeed extraordinary.
Upon reaching him, Chen Zhou raised his heavy-bladed sword to meet the attack, but to no avail.
Chen Zhou was sent flying by the sword and fell heavily onto the ground of the azure world.
The sword puppet pressed its advantage, but Chen Zhou skillfully used the Swallow Shadow Ghost Step to quickly create distance between himself and the sword puppet.
Can't I run away even if I can't win?
This attack from the sword puppet allowed Chen Zhou to experience its power; just this one strike made his arms ache.
The sword puppet's attack moves felt very familiar to Chen Zhou. Recalling the sword puppet's moves just now, wasn't that his own sword-drawing slash?
"This sword puppet can actually draw its sword and slash?" Chen Zhou murmured.
As Chen Zhou was thinking this, the sword puppet's movements suddenly became strange, and its speed increased dramatically.
Swallow Shadow Ghost Step?
As Chen Zhou was still in surprise, the sword puppet had already used the Swallow Shadow Ghost Step to quickly approach him.
Chen Zhou was already quite surprised by the Sword Puppet Society's Swallow Shadow Ghost Step, but this speed startled him even more.
The power of that sword-drawing slash just now was also there.
Could it be that this sword puppet can copy other people's techniques and enhance them?
"Not good!" Chen Zhou thought to himself, because the sword puppet used the draw slash again.
Chen Zhou was completely powerless to resist, because the sword puppet's speed far exceeded Chen Zhou's, and Chen Zhou had no way to escape.
"Bang......"
The sword puppet and Chen Zhou's sword clashed heavily once again. Chen Zhou also used a quick draw slash in an instant. Both of them used quick draw slashes, but the sword puppet's power was greater, and a miraculous scene occurred.
"Clang..."
The sword in the sword puppet's hand was cut in two by the Heavy Edge Sword, which then broke through the sword puppet's sword and crashed heavily into the sword puppet's massive body.
"Smack..."
Another loud thud, and another crack appeared on the sword puppet.
This time, when Chen Zhou used the Heavy Edge Sword to create a crack in the sword puppet, a magical feeling arose in his heart, as if he had developed some strange connection with the Heavy Edge Sword.
This greatly helped Chen Zhou in using the Heavy Edge Sword.
