"There are so many 'demons' here. It seems they won't be able to clear the levels as easily as they did in the previous ones..."
...
Yun Jing and the others took a look at the scene in front of them.
There, on the open ground in front of them, was a large circle drawn.
In the very center of the circle is a small stone platform, on which a magic crystal is casually placed.
Around the stone platform stood hundreds of demons.
Looking around, the cultivation levels of these demons ranged from Foundation Establishment to Nascent Soul, clearly designed according to the cultivation levels of the challengers.
However, what's strange is...
Gu Xiaochui raised his hand and rubbed his eyes. "Am I seeing things? Why do all these demons look the same?"
Although their cultivation levels were different, their appearances were exactly the same.
Even their expressions are the same.
They looked as if they were carved from the same mold.
Qi Yufei guessed, "Perhaps the people who created them were too lazy to make so many faces?"
Gu Xiaochui: "..."
Xi Ling'er stood outside the circle and observed for a while. Seeing that these 'demons' were just staring at her and didn't seem to want to attack her, she guessed that they would only attack if she entered the circle.
She thought for a moment, then suddenly asked Ling Mo a question.
"Third Senior Brother, do you think they will attack their own kind?"
Ling Mo was slightly taken aback.
The other three didn't understand Xi Ling'er's meaning. Gu Xiaochui asked, "What do you mean? Where are their kind here?"
Ling Mo pondered for a moment, then walked straight into the circle.
"I'll give it a try."
Yun Jing and the other two were startled when they saw this and instinctively rushed forward to stop him.
"Where are you going? It's dangerous, come back quickly..."
Upon seeing the scene before them, the last word "come" stuck in their throats.
As soon as Ling Mo entered the circle, those 'demons' didn't even move an inch, remaining firmly rooted to the spot.
Qi Yufei pointed at the 'demons' and asked, "What's going on? Why aren't they reacting?"
Gu Xiaochui tried to stick one of his feet into the circle.
As soon as his foot entered the circle, all the 'demons' moved, rushing towards him like zombies besieging a city.
Gu Xiaochui shuddered in fright and quickly pulled her foot back.
The moment he pulled his foot back, the 'demons' froze in place once more.
Ling Mo turned around and said, "Don't go near this circle. Don't worry, they won't attack me."
"Why?" Qi Yufei was still a little confused.
Seeing his dazed expression, Xi Ling'er reached out and patted him, saying meaningfully, "Have you forgotten the path our third senior brother cultivates?"
After being reminded, Qi Yufei paused for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on.
Oh, right!
Third Senior Brother is a dual cultivator of immortals and demons!
In other words, these 'demons' considered the third senior brother as one of their own?
Yun Jing and Gu Xiaochui also realized what was happening.
They glanced at Ling Mo's fingertips and saw that demonic energy swirled around them. They all exchanged glances without making a sound.
This works?!
Ling Mo walked effortlessly to the stone platform, bent down and picked up the magic crystal on it.
The whole process took less than a minute.
As the magic crystal was picked up, the figures of the five of them disappeared simultaneously, and they entered the eighth level.
Seeing that they had entered a new environment, Qi Yufei blinked and asked, "You've already passed the seventh level?"
Ling Mo nodded. "Yes, I passed."
Qi Yufei clicked his tongue.
"It's a bit too fast, it doesn't feel like I'm even passing through any levels."
Spectators outside the simulated battlefield: "..."
This is a speech from Versailles...
The entire audience was now completely silent, each person utterly dumbfounded.
They had no idea why those 'demons' didn't attack Ling Mo, allowing him to obtain the magic crystal so easily.
"Others work themselves to the bone to pass these challenges, and this is how they do it? What... what's going on?"
"Could there be some inside story behind this competition's elimination rounds?"
"Even if there's something going on, it should be the Yao Huo Sect. We're all on Yao Huo Sect's territory right now. Only they would have the opportunity to pull something. Are they out of their minds to help the Rong Ling Sect?"
“That makes sense, but the process of Rongling Sect’s trials…”
Just as everyone was discussing among themselves, someone suddenly exclaimed, "Look, they've passed the eighth level!"
Everyone was once again stunned.
Someone hurriedly asked, "What was the eighth level again? I was distracted for a moment and didn't see it."
Does anyone in the family understand this?
Who can pass the challenge in the blink of an eye?
Someone in the crowd said, "I saw it. The stone tablet that introduced the level description said that for the eighth level, all you need to do is defeat all the ghosts that emerge from the ground to pass the level."
"Where are the spirits? How did they repel them?"
"They didn't do anything. The ghosts had just peeked out when, for some reason, they saw something and, as if they had seen a ghost, they turned around and hurriedly retreated."
Everyone: "..."
Is this really so weird?
On the other side, the five people who had inexplicably entered the final stage looked at each other, somewhat bewildered.
Xi Ling'er sighed, "We haven't even fought them yet, how come they've already run away?"
