"Bang!"
"Whoosh!"
Inside the secluded training room, Shushu dismembered the last puppet on the other side with a single move.
Unable to hold back any longer, she collapsed to the ground along with the puppet, so exhausted that she couldn't even lift a finger. Her robes were tattered, and there were several bloody marks on her face.
After lying on the ground for a while, Shushu finally had the strength to take out the pill with difficulty, swallow it, and then fell asleep on the ground, completely exhausted.
The little mouse, who used to keep himself clean and tidy every day, has been living like a rough man since being thrown into this trial room, and has even developed the amazing skill of falling asleep instantly.
The Immortal Venerable Luofeng, who was watching from the outside, felt both sorry for her and amused. He couldn't help but come in and give her a simple cleaning spell before throwing her back into her bedroom.
Then, Immortal Venerable Luofeng turned around and increased the training difficulty for Lu Li, Xue Jie, and Shushu and the other friends he had dragged out, in short, he gave them extra training.
Only Shu Chi escaped the training ordeal, but he was forced into the Soul Nourishing Pool to nourish his soul.
That wasn't all. After thinking about it for a while, he went to the control room and casually increased the difficulty of the entire secret realm.
The people and beasts in the secret realm felt a chill in their hearts as they saw their opponents become increasingly ferocious, and the difficulty of the assessment also increased.
Instantly, various wails and howls of ghosts and wolves echoed throughout the entire secret realm, along with sounds of people being chased for their lives by various spirit beasts.
Some people and beasts who were secretly hiding in the corners of the world were also targeted. Their comfort was gone, and their main motto was "If I'm not happy, then the whole world won't have peace."
Immortal Venerable Luofeng stood in front of the light screen, first surveying the screen, and then scanning the entire secret realm with his divine sense to confirm that there was no one or beast taking advantage of the chaos before he felt comfortable.
She casually rolled up a stool, sat down, and began humming an off-key tune as she took on the task of supervising the work, making sure everyone was busy until her little apprentice woke up from his nap.
As a result, the entire Fallen Maple Secret Realm was like a miserly old man, not allowing anyone to rest at all. Anyone who tried to slack off would soon find themselves surrounded by spirit beasts.
If there are no spirit beasts around, a group of puppets will descend from the sky, specifically chasing after them, and their attacks on people and beasts are extremely painful.
If it weren't for the fact that the spirit beasts and puppets chasing them didn't possess any ghostly or demonic energy, nor showed any signs of being controlled, they would have thought something had happened in the secret realm, and they would have even prepared distress signals.
Unexpectedly, just as they were about to send out a distress signal, the spirit beasts seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and returned to normal, and the puppets disappeared into thin air.
As for why they disappeared, it's because the sweet potato woke up, but unfortunately, these people don't know that.
Meanwhile, the glutinous rice not only woke up, but was also frantically absorbing spiritual energy, showing signs of advancing in rank.
With that, Immortal Venerable Luofeng no longer cared about the others in the secret realm. He immediately left the control center, came to the outside of the Millet and Potato Palace, set up a spirit-guiding array for Millet and then guarded the place.
Feeling the immense spiritual energy surging in from all around, entering the room, and then disappearing, he couldn't help but smile again.
Based on this level of spiritual energy absorption, his little disciple's spiritual energy reserves are definitely greater than those of ordinary people, so he won't have to worry about being at a disadvantage in battle due to insufficient spiritual energy.
It's important to know that having sufficient spiritual power is a significant advantage in combat.
Thinking of this, Immortal Venerable Luofeng couldn't help but feel secretly pleased: This little disciple he brought back is really not bad!
Just as he was secretly rejoicing, the millet in the hall finally absorbed enough spiritual power and reached the critical point. With a "poof," it advanced from the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage.
Fortunately, after leaving the Rainy Continent, there is no tribulation for advancement in lower ranks. Only when crossing major realms will a tribulation be triggered, and only after successfully passing the tribulation can one advance.
Therefore, Shushu's advancement did not involve a tribulation of lightning, and she quickly recovered and exited the cultivation state.
Noticing that Immortal Venerable Luofeng was guarding outside the door, and knowing that he was protecting her, she immediately smiled and happily went out to greet him.
Then, Shushu received a small promotion reward, allowing her to play for a few days as a way to balance work and rest.
Upon hearing this good news, Shushu's eyes lit up and he came up with a brilliant idea. He leaned close to Immortal Venerable Luofeng and whispered a few words to him.
Immortal Venerable Luofeng initially showed a surprised expression, but finally agreed at Shushu's request.
Immediately afterwards, he had Shushu activate his Concealment Technique to hide his true form, transforming him into a Flower Rain Sable at the mid-Nascent Soul stage.
Looking at the petite and adorable Flower Rain Sable, Immortal Venerable Luofeng, still feeling uneasy, added several more layers of protective shields to her. He nodded in satisfaction, handed her a storage ring, and then waved his sleeve.
The next moment, a trial platform silently rose in the center of a plain in a certain world, with a light screen next to it.
The screen displayed the following text: Trial Platform, limited to cultivators at or below the mid-Nascent Soul stage. Defeat the guardian to obtain a Golden Cauldron Sprout. Each person and beast may participate only once.
Golden Cauldron Sprout, a fourth-tier spiritual plant, is not considered a very high-level plant, but it is the most desired spiritual plant by all body cultivators, especially female body cultivators.
Because when body cultivators use it to soak in a medicinal bath, it can not only temper their bodies and strengthen their physical strength, but also maintain a normal physique.
It is also the most crucial spiritual plant in many body-cultivation medicinal bath recipes, which is why Golden Cauldron Sprouts have been extensively searched for, and the quantity that can be found outside now is limited.
Since Shushu's cultivation level is not high, using such a spiritual plant, which is not too rare but is indeed rare, to attract opponents in battle is just right.
Thinking this, Shushu stood on the competition platform with great anticipation and high spirits, looking ahead with bright eyes, hoping for her first opponent to appear.
Unfortunately, whether it was due to a bad location or too few Nascent Soul cultivators entering the secret realm, Shushu waited from morning till night without seeing a single person or beast.
Occasionally there would be some noise, but they would quickly flee without any intention of stopping.
The glutton's eyes went from shining brightly at the beginning to drooping down, and finally he lay down on the competition platform.
Just as Shushu began to doubt herself, wondering whether she should change the spiritual plant as a reward or ask her master to change the location, someone finally noticed her competition platform.
To be precise, "attention" isn't quite the right word. It should be that the other party got lost and stumbled upon this place by accident, which is how they discovered the arena.
The opponent was initially startled by the arena, thinking it was an illusion, and threw a bunch of talismans at it. Luckily, the arena had a protective mechanism, so it wasn't blown up.
And so, the sweet potato met its first rival.
