Chapter 319: Trial ♂
Kotoho personally led the way and took Jean and the others to the tunnel behind the house, which, according to Kotoho, was one of the legacies of the Rutsuki family for generations, with five desperate levels of very high difficulty, as well as mysterious stone giants waiting for the offender in the shadows.
Such an authentic tunnel was designed to ensure that the head of the Ruyue family could have the reflexes of an eagle and the agility of a cheetah.
"When I was a child, I heard my father say that every time the previous head of the family passed away, the family would choose a day with good weather to hold an exam to run for the new head of the family, and this tunnel was one of the exams. Ah, by the way, I remember that many candidates died tragically in it due to their lack of hard work~ Of course, including the liars who pretended to be my son in the past few days, they are also with them. ”
“……”
Jean was silent, his face unchanged.
"Very good, with consistent composure, this is the real man, I hope that in the process of the test, what I want to see is not you who give up halfway, nor you who come out with your own head."
"Onisan will definitely pass this test! I believe in him! ”
"That's right, I also believe that Senior Jean will pass this test perfectly!"
"Whether you can pass or not is not just by saying it with your mouth, but also by your strength to prove it~"
Everyone came to a gate, their footsteps stopped, Qin Sui walked over, pressed the gate with one palm, and with a scream, the energy that burst out from the palm of his hand was injected into the gate, and the gate was immediately pushed open.
A cool wind blew across their faces, making their hearts start to become a little nervous, and the tunnel was full of dangers, and I was afraid that Jean would not be able to get through.
"Well, now it's time for you to prove that you are indeed my son, and I wish you a long way."
“……”
Jean spotted Jean pulling at the corner of his clothes.
"Onisan...... Qinjian will always be waiting for you to come back, come on! ”
With a smile, he crouched down and reached out to stroke her little head.
"Well, I'll definitely be back."
"Senior Jean, come on!" Himeko also cheers for Jean.
"Got it."
Standing up, summoning the "Snow Maiden", and stepping into the gate, the gate was immediately closed when Gene walked in.
The people who stayed outside were even more nervous.
"Don't worry, I have a magic weapon that can observe the situation inside~"
Kotoho smiled and took out a crystal ball from behind him, muttering a few words in his mouth, and soon the crystal ball immediately showed the scene inside.
—————————— Dividing Line——————————
The air around me was humid, and every time I walked, I could see skeletons lying on the ground, and a faint rancid stench wafting from nowhere.
"Letty, can you sense the soul here?"
"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"
"It's fine, I just wanted to ask."
"Hmm...... I don't have the talent to perceive spirits, and most of the abilities I have are just frozen creatures~"
"Really...... Since just now, I have been hearing the death of many people, and they are all the same sentence, "to die", "suicide" and so on. ”
"Huh......? Is it a haunting spirit? ”
"Leave them alone and move on."
"Yes!"
In this way, Jean did not make any fearful moves along the way, ignoring the harassment of the resentful spirits and passed the first level.
"It seems that his willpower is very strong, and he can easily pass the first level of "Voice of the Wraith"." Kotoho nodded in approval.
"Onisan, come on!"
"Senior Jean, come on!"
"Well~ It's still early to clear the level.,There are a total of five levels in this tunnel.,The next level is the "Death Pendulum" that tests the reflexes.,And then it's "Enchanting Hell".、"Beast Paradise"、"Stone Giant".。
Grunt (swallowing saliva)
—————————— Dividing Line——————————
Jean came to the next level, the place was endless, but he could always feel a trace of murderous aura, Jean frowned, every step would be cautious, and sure enough, the breeze on his face made him jump back subconsciously.
Whoosh————
Sharp blades struck from the side, swaying from side to side like a pendulum, and Gene also appeared behind the blades, sealing the only way to escape, and through the blades in front of him, there were more than a dozen blades in front of him.
"Master Jean, what should I do?"
“…… Look at the opportunity and go through it all at once. ”
————
"What?!"
The spike outside the field was shocked.
"It's going to be all at once...... Is Jean-senpai crazy? With human speed, it's impossible to pass through the blades at the same time as they reveal gaps, and the positions of these blades are messy......
————
"Jean the master...... Are you sure you're serious? ”
"I'm serious."
Letty looked at Jean, and from the look of his serious expression, it didn't look like he was talking nonsense.
“……”
Jean took a deep breath and threw away all his distractions, staring intently at the blade ahead. The speed of these blades seemed to become very slow under Jean's gaze, very slow, carefully calculating the next place to move, Jean's eyes widened, and he lowered his body and swooped forward!
Whoosh————————
To outsiders, Jean used a speed that could not be seen with the naked eye to pass through the blade from left to right one after another, and managed to pass through it before the blade made the next swing, barely using 0.01 seconds!
"Hmph...... Bored. ”
Jean brushed his short hair and moved on to the next level without looking back.
————
"Lying ...... Groove ......"
Everyone was stunned, stunned by Jean's speed, they never thought that Jean would be so fast, not to mention that he had passed through nineteen blades in different directions in a row with his human body.
"Unbelievable...... At that time, the first generation of masters could only barely pass through one by one, but this man didn't even breathe, and passed through all the blades at once, without even touching a single blade! ”
At this moment, Kotoho noticed that where Jean had passed through the blade, there was a crystal blue mark on the ground, and from the surface, Kotoho could tell that this mark was a path made of ice.
"I see, using the ice to eliminate some of the friction, and borrowing the force and acceleration of the ice, plus its own extreme speed, to achieve the amazing act of passing through all the blades at once......?"
"Gen Senpai has the ability to freeze creatures, no wonder he can pass the difficulty so easily, he really deserves to be Gen Senpai~"
"Onisan is so powerful~"
"Is it the ability to freeze creatures...... It seems that the last two levels basically don't need to look at it to know the result. (wry smile)"
"Yes...... I've seen the fighting ability of Jean's predecessors with my own eyes, and it's completely exaggerated...... (wry smile)"
————
The third level, "Enchanting Hell".
Jean looked helplessly at these fruit-like women in front of him, although he was looking, but his eyes were actually closed.
"Were my ancestors a bunch of fools...... What's the point in designing this level that is even more stupid than the stupidest fool in the world? ”
"There's no way around it~ Master Jean~ After all, there are many other fools who will come here to be tested, but it won't work for you now~"
These fruit women do not open their mouths to speak, but instead express their thoughts through the other person's heart.
"(Come on~be happy~ Anyway, there is, a lot of time~)"
Hmmm——————
A ruthless slash severed the head of one of the women, and to the surprise of the severed women, it turned out to be a spirit and disappeared into the air.
"Don't stand in my way, trash."
Jean's eyes became unusually vicious, as if the person in front of him was the biggest obstacle, and he wanted to sweep it away in one go.
"Ah!!!h
The spirits all let out terrifying cries and launched a senseless attack on Jean.
"......Shh
Jean closed his eyes and held the handle of the knife to make a stance, and the movement of holding the knife was clearly seen by Kotospike outside the court.
"Ruyue Family Sect?" Swift Shadow"! ”
Quickly drew the sword, relying on its own speed to pass behind the spirits, and these spirits inexplicably appeared dozens of knife marks, with Jean retracted the knife, only to turn into pieces and disappear without a trace.
————
"He actually knows how to "use the Moon Sword Technique"! And this trick is still "112 style? Swift Shadow". Could it be that he is really my son......? ”
Kotoho has begun to regret that she shouldn't have put Jean to the test in the first place.
————
Level 4, "Beast Paradise"
The cries of wild beasts can be heard everywhere, and there are human bones in some corners, which seems to be the "playground" of wild beasts, where they can play and hunt unscrupulously.
“……”
Jean smiled slightly, and when he took the first step, he quickly drew his sword and hacked down a hound that wanted to sneak up on him from behind.
"Woo ......"
The hound was fatally wounded and soon died of excessive blood loss.
“……!!!!!!!”
As if hearing a friend's cries for help, all the beasts of this paradise gathered here, each with great ferocity, much to Gene's relief.
"Hmph...... Compared to the previous three levels, these number of beasts can be considered a warm-up exercise. ”
"Do I need to conclude a contract?" Letty asked.
"No, you don't have to go through that much trouble to deal with the things that are appetizers, and besides, I can feel that the last level of "that thing" is about to move, and I have to deal with these guys quickly."
Jean held the "Snow Maiden" horizontally and tightly, and the frost aura surrounding Jean spread rapidly, instantly freezing the entire earth!
"Ahhhh The beasts charged bravely.
"Frozen Tooth Ice Blade!"
Hmmm————
Two powerful shockwaves broke a path for Jean, and the beasts that were hit were frozen into ice and died.
“……”
Jean ran down the free road, but a pack of wild beasts stood in his way.
"Icewing Moonlight!"
Jean impatiently drew his bow and shot an arrow, an ice arrow thicker than a stick pierced all the obstacles that stood in his way, and afterwards, Jean continued to run forward, he had no time to play here, although five months was still a long time, he still had a lot to do.
————
Level 5, "Stone Giant"
Boom————
Everything around him was shaking, as if it was about to collapse, but a feminine and beautiful man could stand still steadily, holding his hands on his chest and waiting for the stone giant's arrival.
Boom————
The stone giant perched in the corner appeared in front of Jean according to the rules, the stone giant was 3 meters tall, and the appearance was partially granite, which looked very hard.
"As I expected, you're finally out, Golem."
“……”
"I'm looking forward to your fighting abilities, and I hope you won't let me down."
Rumble!!
Golem's fist landed where Jean had been standing.
"Letty, get ready to conclude the contract."
“OK~”
As soon as the words fell, Letty appeared beside Jean, stretched out her hands around Jean's neck, and the frost aura emanating from her side was even more powerful than before, and even the melon-eating audience who was staying in the outfield could feel a trace of coldness.
Soon, the two of them chanted the incantation in a flat tone:
“I'am'white,dyed'all'white……”
(I am white, white that stains everything...... )
“Iam'full'of'snow,the'world's'woes……”
(I am the snow, sprinkled with the calamities of the world...... )
“I'and'u'stand'under'the'lease,never'separate……”
(The pact I made with the Snow Maiden will never be separated...... )
“My'sword,cut'off'evil……”
(My sword, cut off the sin...... )
“Iam'empty,Iam'steel,Iam'blade!”
(I am empty, I am steel, I am blade!) )
“The'evil'of'you'is'destroyed'by'me'and'the'contract!”
(Your sins will be destroyed by what I have contracted with!) )
“Ice'sword'xuenv'start'of'liberation!”
("Ice Sword Snow Girl" is activated, and the technique is liberated!) )
“Usher'in'the'real'death,!' forever'frozen'world! ”
(Let's face the real death!) "Frozen World Forever"! )
—————————— Dividing Line———————————
Snow.
Little by little.
It is also a rare occurrence that it snows in the tunnels.
But after someone's hand, it is not difficult to make the tunnel snow.
However, this snow is not white.
It is black, not a symbol of whiteness, but a sign of death.
The entire tunnel was covered in black snow, as well as a blonde man standing in place, and Golem.
……!
Golem took the lead, stomped on the ground and ran towards Jean, punching him over.
Jean dodged, but Golem sent him flying with a miraculous backhand.
"Master Jean, take the opportunity to fight back!"
Hmmm————
Golem's fingers were frozen into ice, then broke off on their own and shattered into pieces. Missing five fingers, the golem did not flinch, but continued to attack.
The stone giant has no thoughts, it is just a demon made by the first generation of the Ruyue family.
Demonic beings need mana to stay alive, but Golem doesn't.
It's just an empty shell, and then the mana is fed in, and the extra mana is sealed with a spell seal.
Its first order was to drive out the intruders, and there was no other command.
Therefore, it can only attack and attack, even if its body is cut in half, it must continue to attack, this is because of the order of the first generation master.
……
Golem plunged his left hand into the ground, and the ground cracked instantly, sending spikes out of his way towards Jean.
Jean's reflexes are not vegetarian, he dodges all attacks as dexterously as a swallow, and appears in front of the stone giant in an instant, and also plunges the sword into the ground, and several icicles suddenly burst out from the stone giant's side, thus restricting its movement.
"Ruyue Family Sect?" Ice Tower Under the Moon"
Jean pulled out his sword, jumped into the air with one kick, and slashed at Golem's body in an orderly manner, from his chest to his stomach, and then—
"Use the power of Kamigo and the Snow Maiden ......"
"Freeze everything ......"
Jean landed, his waist sank, and he reinserted the sword on the ground, this time, it was the final song of the battle.
"Purgatory Ice Night!!"
The stone giant's body was surrounded by a large amount of cold air, and gradually froze into a huge icicle, unable to move at all. The last gorgeous knife split its body in an instant, turning it into pieces of crystalline shards.
"You're strong, but you're no match for me and Letty, and this snow is an ice funeral for you, so die peacefully, Golem."
Jean spun in a circle, flapping a white wing, and the black snow seemed to be a foreshadowing of his victory, and it kept falling......
