When Lin Ze used the teleportation charm to return to the second floor of the mission lobby from that virtual world, compared to when he went, he looked quite embarrassed, his clothes were ragged, and his hair was messy, as if he had just come out of a beggar's den.

As for the injuries, although they are not serious, all kinds of small injuries can be seen everywhere, some are cut by sharp weapons, some are bitten, and even the injuries are directly beaten to the point of bruises and purples, just like the thugs who fight on the street and return from defeat.

The middle-aged woman in charge on the second floor didn't feel strange at all when she saw his appearance, as if she had expected it a long time ago, but said with a smile: "How is it?

Lin Ze nodded, "I've been convinced, I've really been taught a good lesson." ”

When solving the first batch of monkey-like monsters, Lin Ze felt that this task of killing 10,000 people was not very difficult, even if the group of bats encountered later, although it was a little difficult to fight, but the combat power was not enough to threaten him, but with the appearance of the third batch of monsters, he finally understood that he had "no one in sight".

Those monsters are stronger than a wave, more aggressive than a wave, and extremely cunning, not only powerful, but even have extremely high organizational skills like humans, even he has been fooled several times, from the beginning of a sword can kill hundreds of heads, in the end, even if he just deals with one head is already very difficult.

This task is simply a challenge to the spirit and the will.

In the end, when he felt that his true qi was almost used, Lin Xue could only flee back in embarrassment.

The middle-aged woman smiled slightly, "Actually, you are already very good, the first time others go to the virtual world, they basically come back by crawling, just like a dead dog, the number of monsters killed has never exceeded three thousand, and you ...... Although it looked a little embarrassed, it was still in good spirits, and besides, he killed 6,350 heads for the first time, which was an unprecedented achievement. ”

"Six thousand three hundred and fifty heads?" Lin Xue was stunned, there are so many?

"Don't you know?"

Lin Xue shook his head, although at the beginning he would still look at his kill count, but in the back, he couldn't be distracted from doing anything else besides the battle, where would he pay attention to this.

He killed so many mission targets for the first time, and he was less than a third away from 10,000 people, but Lin Xue knew that in a short period of time, it was already difficult for him to surpass this number, because that virtual world made him realize his limit.

"The so-called 10,000-person killing task is actually a test of the limit. At this time, the middle-aged woman suddenly said, "There is a potential power hidden in everyone's body, some are obvious, and some can't be tapped at all, when we use the surface power to the extreme, in fact, it is far from the limit, as long as we can break through the shackles of the surface and guide the hidden power, we can become stronger...... That's why the 10,000-person slashing mission comes from, facing waves of stronger enemies and going beyond your limits. ”

Lin Ze felt the same way about these words, but in an instant, he showed a blank look on his face, "No, you didn't say that before, but told me not to wait until I was exhausted to come out, isn't this contradictory?"

"Where is the contradiction?" the middle-aged woman asked rhetorically, and then said, "There are many hidden forces that cannot be seen, and this part of the people, when they fight to the exhaustion, has already reached their limit, they can't tap those invisible powers, and it is pointless to fight any longer." But some people can see their potential strength, and when their true qi is exhausted and they can't fight again, it seems that they have reached the limit, but in fact they are not...... Which kind of people do you belong to?"

Which one do you belong to?

Lin Xue was stunned for a moment, he knew very well that he belonged to the latter type, and the clone in the sword intent room clearly told him this.

That clone was in the same realm as him, with the same amount of true qi, and all the moves and swordsmanship were exactly the same as him, not even a little higher than him, but the strength shown by the clone was several percent higher than him, making him completely unable to fight against him.

If there is a limit to himself, then the clone is his limit!

Suddenly, Lin Ze understood a little.

The sword intent of the self and the 10,000 slash are fundamentally interrelated, and when he can defeat the clone, it means that he has broken through his limit and successfully completed the task of 10,000 slashing. And when he can complete the task of killing 10,000 people, it means that he can already defeat his own clones.

Then, if the two aspects are carried out at the same time...... "Thank you for the advice!" Thinking of this, Lin Ze's heart suddenly lit up, and he said respectfully to the middle-aged woman.

The latter smiled, "No, it's just my duty." ”

"By the way, I have one more question to ask. ”

"What?"

"The monsters in that virtual world, what the hell are they? Lin Xue asked, the monsters there are completely flesh and blood existences, not virtual products, but according to the rules of this 10,000-person beheading mission, they seem to be able to be resurrected infinitely, which is really incredible.

If such a creature appeared in the real world, I am afraid it would be unimaginable.

The middle-aged woman shook her head, "You don't need to know this question now, there may be opportunities in the future, it's not too early, you can go to the next room to change clothes and leave...... Also, remember to pay 200 points for failed missions before leaving. ”

“...... All right. ”

didn't get the answer he wanted, Lin Ze was somewhat disappointed, but since the other party didn't say it, he couldn't do anything.

After a while, Lin Ze changed into a set of clean clothes and returned to his dormitory.

From the task of the True Self Sword Intent and the Ten Thousand Slashes, Lin Xue already knew what path he was going to take next, and of course, except for these two cultivations, everything else was temporarily left behind by him...... On the first day, he went to the sword intent room to fight his clones, on the second day, he went to the virtual world to face all kinds of monsters, on the third day, he fought against the clones, and on the fourth day, he went to the virtual world, and so on.

In this way, a week passed quickly, although he still hadn't won his hand clone once until now, and the 10,000 people slashing task was also stuck at the level of eight thousand and couldn't go up again, but after such a heavyweight cultivation, he already clearly felt that he was at the critical point of surpassing the limit.

As long as there is one more thrust, he can really break through.

Of course, such a thrust can only be found by himself, and no one else can help in any way.

On the other hand, the Inner Courtyard Ranking Tournament will start in three days, and Lin Ze has already received a notice from the Academy, and he will be able to enter the Inner Courtyard in three days...... For this news, he is somewhat looking forward to it.

Because under normal circumstances, students from the outer courtyard would never be allowed to enter the inner courtyard, so that he had been in the Sword Martial Academy for more than three months, and except for Lin Xue, no one else had ever seen him.

Seeing that he was able to meet Wang Yuanji and others, it was of course impossible not to be excited.

At the same time, during the time when Lin Zhi was busy cultivating, the new round of enrollment of the Sword Martial Arts Academy had also ended, and countless new students came to the Sword Martial Arts Academy one after another, and Lin Xue was able to retire from the hat of a freshman and become a second-year old student.

And because of the blockbuster of the outer courtyard ranking competition, he has unprecedented popularity in the outer court, some people envy him, some people envy him, some people worship him, and some people hate him. But no matter what, the biggest topic in the outer courtyard now is the name Lin Ze, even those freshmen who have just entered the school are familiar with this name, and even occasionally passing by the academy, Lin Ze can hear these people talking about themselves.

Of course, all this had little to do with him, and Lin Xue was still busy with his own cultivation.

Two more days passed, it was the last day before the start of the Inner Courtyard Ranking Competition, and after getting up in the morning, Lin Xue immediately came to the mission hall...... I don't know if it's an illusion, Lin Ze has an inexplicable premonition in his heart, he will definitely be able to complete the task of killing 10,000 people today.

"Looks like you're going to have good luck today. On the second floor of the mission hall, the middle-aged woman in charge of teleportation, after seeing Lin Xue, her eyes also lit up a little, and she smiled.

Lin Zehui smiled back: "Borrow your auspicious words." ”

Coming to the virtual world again, it was still that desolate area, Lin Zhi had already been very familiar with this, and walked forward unimpeded all the way, the thousands of monkey monsters couldn't even block him, Lin Ze waved his sword while walking, and walked straight forward.

Subsequently, the second wave of bat monsters, although their speed was extremely fast, their own defenses and attacks were too weak, after the first few battles, Lin Xue had already mastered their characteristics, and he couldn't stop him.

Then, the third wave, the fourth wave, the fifth wave, the sixth wave...... After killing seven waves of monsters in a row, Lin Xue finally stood in the eighth wave again, the monster that had been blocking him under the level of eight thousand.

Maybe these shouldn't be called monsters, because they are indistinguishable from humans except for their arms that are twice as long as normal people, their heads that are twice as large as normal, and their eyes that are more than normal people, and they can think and talk, and ...... The attack surname is unparalleled.

They seemed to be a killing race, in their own territory, there was no other creature except them, as soon as they saw Lin Xue coming, their eyes immediately turned red, and they yelled at him to kill.

When he saw this group of inhuman monsters for the first time, Lin Xue was still startled, but now he was already indifferent.

With the unequaled sword in hand, he has nothing to fear!

"Come on, let's make today's battle our last!"

The next moment, Lin Xue attacked violently, and countless sword qi smashed down on the opposite side like heavy rain.
