Some people say that Japan is the end of this world.

All cultures, from west to east, are transmitted to Japan, and there is no next stop.

It is precisely because there is no next stop that the absorbed culture can be tempered to the extreme.

That's why a lot of things in Japan are very streamlined.

People are accustomed to calling this kind of thing tempered to the extreme "Tao".

Tea ceremony, chess ceremony...... And, of course, kendo.

Japanese people love to talk, and Yukihara Tangjing is no exception.

When he was a cowherd in the secular circle, he often talked about his flower name and flower arrangement.

He has always been a proud person, from the bottom of his heart, he thinks that he is anything but ordinary, and later entered the circle of ability, and even the professional circle, becoming a great swordsman, and even reached the top of the Japanese professional circle and became the owner of the sword hall.

It can be said that Xueyuan Tang Jing should have nothing to be dissatisfied with, but he just thinks: It's not enough.

He thinks that he should have a broader stage, and he also thinks that the Sword Pavilion is worthy of a wider land than this projectile island.

Xueyuan Tang Jing didn't like the phrase "the end of the world" at all.

He wanted to be "the center of the world".

But now he's going to die.

After clearly realizing this, Xueyuan Tang Jing found that he was not as afraid of death as he imagined.

Especially this kind of death, which seemed to him to be extremely cruel - to be eaten.

"It's going to be eaten. He finally realized that this was an inevitable solution, and stopped struggling, his whole body stiffened, and he waited for the final ending.

At the last moment of his life, the thought that flashed through his mind was: Will I be pulled out?

Then, I heard a "crash".

Xueyuan Tang Jing's body shook violently, as if it was his skull that had been bitten off.

But in reality, his head is complete.

At the last moment, Li Xiaosen raised his arm, and then bit down on the muscle of his forearm! The vampire-like sharp teeth collided with the skin of the arm in the scarlet posture, and there was actually a sound of gold and iron clashing.

"You...... You...... How can you ......" Xueyuan Tang Jing looked at Li Xiaosen in a daze, he was hesitant, at this time, where did he still look like a half-and-a-half saint powerhouse, the master of the mountain gate?

"Get out of here!" Li Xiaosen let out a low roar, flicked his arm, and threw out Xueyuan Tang Jing.

It seems that he doesn't want to look at the other party for a moment, especially the fresh, hot blood on the other party's body.

Whew......

Li Xiaosen hunched over, his hands propped on his knees, and his long blood-colored hair hung down, half-covering his face.

Xueyuan Tang Jing slammed into the boundary of the ring, fell in pain, and when he struggled to get up again, he saw Li Xiaosen clenching his fists, trying his best to endure and suppress something.

"I knew it, I knew it!" At this moment, Li Xiaosen roared angrily in his heart, "I knew that there was definitely something unusual and uncontrollable about this 'challenge' ability!

Li Xiaosen is actually mentally prepared, for the uncontrollability of the "challenge", if it were not so, he would not insist on developing his own R.

After recovering from the recovery, many practices that came to the Sword Pavilion were to defeat Liu Changsheng and also to get rid of the dependence on "challenges".

A steady stream of surging power emerged from Li Xiaosen's body, and after becoming the Dark Spawn Tactic, Li Xiaosen has not been able to upgrade normally, and can only use the method of "challenge", level by level, to improve slowly.

What now?

——Under this scarlet posture, Li Xiaosen felt that his own strength was like a wild horse that had been unleashed, as if there was no upper limit at all, and it soon soared to the sixth level of the profession, and there was no sign of stopping!

This...... Not a good thing.

Li Xiaosen couldn't say why, but he just knew.

This scarlet posture is no longer within the scope of "challenge" ability, but the edge of a runaway cliff! One step further is the abyss of endless darkness and infinite blood.

Fortunately, he didn't suck the blood of Xueyuan Tang Jing just now, Li Xiaosen thought to himself.

In this way, after reezing for a long time, Li Xiaosen finally regained his composure.

The suppression effect of the scarlet ring ring is still the same, and Tang Jing of the snow field on the opposite side keeps getting up and falling, falling down and struggling to get up, he doesn't want to die, but he can't find a way to escape and live, and he is desperate like a person trapped in the same cage as a beast.

"I'm sorry......" Li Xiaosen walked in front of Xueyuan Tang Jing, looked down at the other party, and whispered, "You didn't actually lose to me, it wasn't me who was like that just now." ”

While speaking, the transparent light wings behind Li Xiaosen slowly dissipated, and the blood-colored long hair was also returning to its normal hair color, but the length did not become shorter.

The only thing that remains unchanged is Li Xiaosen's eyes, which are still as bright as blood crystals.

Yes, this battle has actually been won, there will be no suspense in the ending, and then Xueyuan Tang Jing will be killed by himself.

But Li Xiaosen couldn't be happy.

It doesn't matter what the opponent is, for an enemy like Xueyuan Tang Jing, Li Xiaosen will never be rigid enough to pay attention to fairness and benevolence, and will definitely kill the other party by any means, the problem is that the posture just now is really not himself, and it has nothing to do with the means, but Li Xiaosen feels that "his own existence" has almost been subverted.

If you win your opponent and lose yourself, what's the point of fighting?

"How can you spare my life? Xueyuan Tang Jing was lying on the ground, unable to struggle any longer, and asked weakly.

Li Xiaosen shook his head slowly.

Killing Xueyuan Tang Jing can only be promoted to the fifth level of the profession, this is Li Xiaosen's established plan, and it cannot be changed.

What's more, Li Xiaosen couldn't find a reason not to kill the other party.

How many people died in the Civil War two years ago? How many innocent people will die in this battle of the Sword Pavilion now? Those are real warriors, who should have died in the battle against the Nightkin!

Xueyuan Tang Jing's eyes shot out bitter resentment and hatred: "Do you know, if you kill me, you won't be able to get better!" My eyes have already seen ...... Seeing the future of you, you will be devoured, dragged into the abyss of pain by the power of evil, the way you just looked, it will definitely come back to you! I curse you, curse you—uh!"

The words that followed, gone.

Li Xiaosen raised his hand, and the Thousand Illusion Scholar held the spear of strong attack, piercing through the chest of Tang Jing in the snow field, nailing this conspirator and careerist to the ground of this scarlet ring.

Challenge, success.

The scarlet ring, faintly trembling, a magnificent force in the dark, from top to bottom, poured into Li Xiaosen's body from the top of his head, and after swimming around his body, it finally merged into Li Xiaosen's heart, the Dark Spawn battle method is the same as the battle mage, the core is still in the heart.

Li Xiaosen clearly felt that the injuries in his body were healing, his strength was steadily improving, and he was moving towards the level of professional level 5.

"If you want to win against those powerful enemies that threaten your sister, you have to level up, and if you want to level up, you have to 'challenge'......" Li Xiaosen sighed a little tiredly.

The physical exhaustion is rapidly subsiding, and this is psychological exhaustion.

Li Xiaosen knew he had no choice but to challenge.

At present, starting from the assassination of the unknown old man in the ancient passage, to now, Li Xiaosen has used a total of five challenges, from the first level of the profession to the fifth level of the profession.

I guess I'll use it for the sixth, or even seventh, or eighth time.

But Lee will never forget the experience of this fifth challenge.

This is a high-reward and high-risk ability, Li Xiaosen will mention ten thousand cautions to prevent the last vicious curse of Xueyuan Tang Jing from becoming a reality.

With a roar, the scarlet ring began to collapse, and little by little it returned into soul power and returned to Li Xiaosen's inner world.

The only meaning of the existence of this ring is to serve as a stage for challenges, and now that the challenge has been completed, there is naturally no need for the ring to continue to exist, unless the next object that can be challenged appears immediately.

Li Xiaosen watched Xueyuan Tang Jing's corpse disappear with the disappearance of the ring, as if he had integrated into the ring, and suddenly a strange thought flashed in his mind: In the future, I myself will one day use this ring as my own burial ground?

Challenges, as they are called challenges, are naturally extremely difficult, if not almost impossible to win.

For example, against Tang Jing in the snow field, if it weren't for the unexpected scarlet posture that was on the verge of getting out of control, Li Xiaosen felt that he might really lose.

If you win, you will be upgraded, and if you lose, you will die.

Li Xiaosen felt an inexplicable pressure in his heart.

Shaking his head and putting this thought aside, Li Xiaosen took a deep breath and raised his hand to shake it.

In the palm of his hand, an orange flame with an uncertain shape appeared, which was the orange flame ghost face that was being reshaped after melting, that is, the slashing technique R that Li Xiaosen had temporarily placed in the challenge just now.

At this point, the reinvention process is in its final stages.

"Thinking about it this way, my level has finally been raised to level five, and I am finally about to complete the development of my own exclusive slashing R in terms of ability, and I haven't been devoured by the terrifying scarlet posture just now, which is actually pretty good. ”

Li Xiaosen muttered.

Thinking about it like this, I can't help but feel a lot better.

The Scarlet Ring finally broke up completely.

In the stone hall, the emptiness was restored, and it was unobstructed, just like Li Xiaosen's body now.

"Damn, Li Xiaosen, you are a big pervert, where are your clothes?" Lin Wan's scream sounded, making Li Xiaosen suddenly feel nostalgic, as if returning to the first meeting between the two, Lin Wan looked at herself with disgust when she was still lazy Xiaosen.

Li Xiaosen is indeed undressed now, but his hair is still very long, pitch black like a waterfall, hanging to the ground.

With a thought, the long hair was cut off and cut by an invisible force, and it was restored to the neat appearance of short hair.

Lin Wan: "Don't cut your hair!No one wants to see your ass, okay?!"

Li Xiaosen turned around again and faced the temple gate.

Lin Wan had already covered her eyes, and she was about to scold: "Don't turn around! Who told you to turn around? Li Xiaosen, I'll tell you, you're strengthening my eyes! If you do this again, I will definitely sue Xiaoqian, I swear!!"

The corners of Li Xiaosen's mouth curled slightly, a touch of warmth flashed in his eyes, and then he turned his head to Miyuki Hinata and said, "Hello senior sister, please trouble you, be lighter." ”

Although Lin Wan covered her eyes, her hearing was not affected, and she was stunned when she heard the words, and said in confusion: "What light? Please, can you stop saying such an associative line again?" Hmm......"

She snorted suddenly, and then fell limply.

Miyuki Hinata slashed Lin Wan in the back of the neck with a knife, knocking her unconscious, then gently holding it up, and then gently placing it on the ground, saying, "I'm sorry." ”

Only then did Li Xiaosen mobilize the power of ice and fire, create a set of clothes, and wear them on his body.

After reaching the fifth level of the profession, the manipulation ability of the original force has reached a higher level, and the simple work of condensing into elemental clothes can be done very well by Li Xiaosen three years ago, but now it has achieved the realistic effect of "just like the real thing".

"How do you know that I am going to make a move on Lin Wan?" Hinata Miyuki rubbed the bruise on the back of Lin Wan's neck for Lin Wan and confirmed that Lin Wan was not injured, so she breathed a sigh of relief and got up to look at Li Xiaosen.

When she saw the elemental clothes on Li Xiaosen's body, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"When I was fighting, I noticed that you were here, and you tried to knock Lin Wan out of her three times, and I saw them all. Li Xiaosen said.

"In that case, why did you choose to help me instead of helping Lin Wan?" Hinata Miyuki looked at the person in front of her who "died" three years ago, she was just a junior who felt good at the beginning, but she didn't expect to meet again, and the other party had grown to the point where she couldn't understand it, "If I'm not mistaken, Lin Wan is your sister's best friend, so you should help her." ”

Li Xiaosen shook his head and said, "I didn't help her, but I didn't help you either." You have a token of humility in you, and if there is a reason, it is the only reason. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xiaosen paused, stared into Hinata Miyuki's eyes, and asked word by word: "Now, tell me, why did you stun Lin Wan?

Although the person has retreated from the scarlet posture, there is still a trace of scarlet in Li Xiaosen's eyes.

Li Xiaosen didn't use his strength in particular, but the moment Hinata Miyuki was stared at by him, he couldn't help but be confined all over, and there was a terrifying feeling of being stared at by a wild beast.

She said quickly: "Yes, His Royal Highness Qianqian sensed that you were back through the Heavenly Monument and sent me to pick you up, this is task one." And she asked me to bring you a sentence, and this sentence ...... It's unfortunate that Lin Wan can't be heard. ”

Li Xiaosen nodded: "Your encounter with her was unplanned?" Okay, what did Qianqian ask you to tell me?"

Miyuki Hinata took a deep breath, and then she lowered her voice to a very low, extremely low voice, as if what she was about to say next touched some great taboo and could not be heard by any outsider.

Even Miyuki Hinata herself, when she said this, couldn't help but have a look of disbelief flashing in her eyes.

She was in charge of delivering the words, but she couldn't believe the truth of the words she was trying to convey.

The phrase is: "Don't believe Li Xingni. ”

After saying seven simple words, Hinata Miyuki found that her whole body was already wet with sweat, and she didn't know if it was because of Li Xiaosen's gaze, or if the content of this sentence was too reverie.

"Don't trust Li Xingni...... ......," Li Xiaosen muttered.

After being silent for a while, Li Xiaosen suddenly moved forward and walked forward.

Hinata Miyuki immediately tensed her whole body muscles, as if she was facing a great enemy, in fact, she also wondered why she had such a reaction, obviously Li Xiaosen was her own person, although she didn't understand why he could be resurrected after "dying in battle" three years ago, although there were many things she didn't understand, but Hinata Miyuki knew: Li Xiaosen, shouldn't be an enemy, it's her own person.

But there is no way, whenever Miyuki Hinata sees the scarlet in Li Xiaosen's eyes and feels the aura that Li Xiaosen's body faintly exudes after the challenge, she can't help but feel her hands and feet weak.

The fifth level of the profession not only means that the level is improved, but also means that Li Xiaosen is further on the road of super life.

And the super life facing ordinary creatures is like a high-level dragon standing in front of a subspecies earth dragon, like a top elf standing in front of an ordinary elf, there is no need to deliberately exude power, just standing there, there will be an innate coercion.

This is the oppression at the level of life, which is more powerful than the oppressive force between natural enemies in nature.

Or it can be said that super life is the natural enemy of all cosmic beings.

The real life of the super life is not in this vast universe at all, but in the endless void beyond the boundary of the universe.

"Don't be afraid of me, I'm a good person. Li Xiaosen naturally caught Miyuki's reaction and smiled.

At the same time, he consciously restrained the breath on his body, completely suppressed his own strength into his body, and did not release it at all.

Hinata Miyuki relaxed a little at this time, sighed, and said, "Wind Chimes told me: 'I'm a good person', and this kind of thing is usually said by bad guys. ”

Li Xiaosen smiled: "Okay, then I'll change my words, I'm a bad guy, it's okay, right?"

Hinata Miyuki couldn't help but laugh, and finally completely relieved herself, this lazy tone seems to be the Li Xiaosen she knows.

The situation outside the stone hall, Li Xiaosen didn't pay attention to it for the time being, on the one hand, because after the challenge is upgraded, it takes a process to stabilize the fifth level of the profession, and this process is currently going on for most of it, but it is not over yet, Li Xiaosen knows that Liu Changsheng is outside, and he also knows that his sister is outside, but the more this is the case, the more he can't be in a hurry.

Killing Xueyuan Tang Jing had almost had an accident, and Li Xiaosen would never allow the accident to appear a second time.

Liu Changsheng is a more formidable opponent than Xueyuan Tang Jing, and a little accident will cause him to lose everything.

On the other hand, Li Xiaosen is a little concerned about something that needs to be confirmed.

In fact, when he was in North America three years ago, Li Xiaosen noticed something, but he didn't have a chance to confirm it-

He walked up to Lin Wan's side, leaned down, and gently held one of Lin Wan's tender white hands.

"Hey, you're suspected of eating tofu!" "Hinata Miyuki couldn't help but say, "Although I was ordered to pass on a message to you, I myself have no opinion on Dean Li Xingni and Lin Wan." Probably, probably there was some misunderstanding on the part of His Highness Qianqian...... ......."

Li Xiaosen was very obedient and quickly put Lin Wan's hand down.

With Li Xiaosen's current strength level, it is difficult to confirm Lin Wan's career type, after all, Lin Wan seems to be consciously hiding, but to say that it is simple, it is also quite simple, as long as there is direct physical contact, directly probe the power into Lin Wan's body to investigate, and then cooperate with the penetration, it is easy to confirm-

Lin Wan is no longer a soldier of the academy.

Three years ago, Lin Wan lurked in North America, disguised as a demon hunter, which was actually a very difficult task, if Lin Wan was a soldier.

Because the academy soldier - although it has now been recognized by the professional circle, it is not weaker than other mountain gate professions under the commander level, and above the commander level, there are also abilities such as "twin" and "pas de deux", which proves more and more that the soldier profession does not limit the upper limit of the profession because of the level - but the soldier, no matter what, can imitate the speed, explosiveness, and assassination ability of the witcher!

The soldier's command technique of the academy emphasizes the ability to simulate other professions, but after all, it is not the copy eye of the battle mage.

Approximate simulation, and absolute replication, are two different things.

Now, Li Xiaosen finally understands why Lin Wan can disguise herself as a demon hunter, and she is under the noses of strong people like Skarna and Grayson, but she is not detected.

Lin Wan is not a soldier, but a ...... A Bloodline.
