Chapter 8: The Proving Ground
"This ...... I want it all......"
Deming looked at the six items in front of him, and the difficulty of choosing appeared on him.
But after a moment of thought, Deming made his choice.
"I choose [Outer Soul Bone: Blood Blade]."
That's right, after Deming's careful consideration, Deming found that these six options seemed to be full of temptation, but in fact, they didn't improve him much.
Just like the martial soul reforge scroll, for Deming, it was actually a gift to Xiao Wu or Zhuqing, and it was traded and sold as a commodity, which had no effect on himself.
Moreover, the power of Deming's own world, to a certain extent, can also play a role in enhancing the martial spirit.
If you choose the Martial Soul Reforge Scroll, some of the gains outweigh the losses.
After all, his martial soul was strictly speaking, just a projection of the Minghong Sword, a hybrid element-level magic weapon.
Moreover, even if it was just a projection, it was also a projection that was once a mixed-level magic weapon, and ordinary weapon martial souls could not be compared to it at all, so how could it need to be reforged.
However, the 100,000-year soul ring Deming still wants it very much, after all, the 100,000-year soul ring, at this stage of the Soul Sect, is indeed a relatively powerful existence.
However, compared with the external soul bone that is more consistent with Deming, it is more cost-effective to choose the external soul bone.
After all, the 100,000-year soul ring is estimated to be able to explode by relying on the system.
As for the [Shapeless Heart] and [Nameless Scabbard], Deming felt that this was what the will of the world took out to make up the numbers.
Because he really didn't know how these two things would help him now.
The power of the world? I don't lack it.
Array mage? Control Soul Master? He didn't know if he had the potential to be a formation mage, so if he didn't work, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?
Maybe it will be useful later, but Deming is not yet at the stage where he starts laying out later.
[The selection is complete, and the reward has been distributed.] γ
With the prompt sound of the will of the world, the six items in front of Deming, except for the [Outer Soul Bone: Blood Blade], the other five items turned into streamers and flew back into the bright yellow ball.
[After the reward is distributed, the teleportation begins.] γ
[Please do not do anything superfluous, otherwise you will be regarded as an intruder and will be erased.] γ
Before Deming could take a closer look at the appearance of the legendary Alien Soul Bone, he had already experienced two spatial fluctuations and surrounded Deming again.
With a buzz, Deming was teleported to the [Shrek Academy (Main)] area.
......
When the scene was restored in front of Deming's eyes again, he had already returned to Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu's side.
And this is not more than five minutes before Deming went to the [Central Area].
"Sister Zhuqing, do you explain what reward will my brother get?"
Xiao Wu sat on the stone pier next to the World Stone, her slender legs swaying gently, and she playfully looked at Zhu Zhuqing who was standing beside her and asked.
"I don't know, but I guess it's pretty good. I heard that there is a guy named Tang San who has obtained a 10,000-year soul ring and an external soul bone, Brother Ming will definitely not be worse than him. β
"Uh-huh. Brother Ming is definitely better than that annoying guy. β
"Huh?" After Zhu Zhuqing heard this, he asked a question: "Xiao Wu, do you know that Tang San?" β
"Yes, yes." Xiao Wu pursed her lips, and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes: "That guy is also from Soto City, and it's annoying, I've clearly told him several times, and he keeps annoying me, if it weren't for ......"
Suddenly, a big hand that made Xiao Wu feel familiar stroked her head, interrupting her words, and at the same time, Deming's familiar voice also came from her ears:
"What a good day, don't mention that annoying guy, Xiao Wu, don't worry, Brother Ming will see him once in the future, and beat him once."
"Ah, Brother Ming, you're back."
Xiao Wu turned around happily and hugged Deming: "Brother Ming, what is the reward?" β
After Xiao Wu hugged Deming, as a qualified old critic, Deming naturally did not favor one over the other, and skillfully hugged Zhu Zhuqing on the side into his arms.
"It's an external soul bone, but it suits me quite well."
"Uh-huh, that's for the best."
Zhu Zhuqing leaned into Dai Ming's arms and asked, "Brother Ming, what are your plans next?" β
"Hmm~"
Deming pondered for a moment: "Go to the [Proving Ground], I plan to consolidate the ability I just strengthened, and I am still a little uncomfortable." How? Do you two have any plans? β
Xiao Wu raised her head: "No, Sister Zhuqing and I originally planned to go to the trading street, since Brother Ming has arrangements next, let's follow Brother Ming's arrangement." β
"Good. Then I'll go to the [Proving Ground] to get used to the strength, you and Zhuqing will go shopping, and we'll meet here for a while, how about it?" β
"Uh-huh, just listen to Brother Ming."
In this way, the three of Deming walked in their respective directions.
......
Soon, Deming entered the [Proving Ground].
[Individuals are welcome to use the Proving Ground, please select a mode.] γ
γGuided Mode/Actual Combat Modeγ
Deming groaned for a moment and chose the guidance mode.
After all, now he needed some guidance to clarify the direction of his cultivation.
[Guidance mode has been selected, please select the summoning mirror level]
There are three options in front of Deming, which are low-level projection, intermediate projection, and advanced projection.
The prices are indicated below all three options, 100 world points per hour for primary projection, 1000 world points per hour for intermediate projection, and 10000 world points per hour for advanced projection.
After a moment's hesitation, Deming opted for advanced projection.
After all, the current Deming has 90,000 points, and good steel must be used on the blade.
The huge number of points will definitely bring a huge boost to Deming.
After Deming paid 10,000 world points and summoned an hour of advanced projection, a milky white light appeared in front of him, the light dissipated, and a middle-aged man with a familiar figure in the hand of a sharp blade appeared in front of him.
The surrounding scene also changed, turning into a bloody battlefield.
[The projection of the Minghong Sword Spirit has been summoned, from the Xuanyuan Secret Realm. γ
Seeing the hint of the will of the world, Deming was a little distracted, and the projection of the Ming Hong Sword Spirit? Xuanyuan Secret Realm?
Deming looked at the Minghong knife in his hand, and his thoughts flew for a while.
And the Ming Hong Sword Spirit located in the depths of his soul sea also had an embarrassed expression.
"I don't know how long it's been......"
"Hello, I'm one of the projections of Ming Hongdao, there's not much time, let's start now."
After the appearance of the Ming Hong Sword Spirit, his demeanor was natural, this was not the Ming Hong Sword deity in the depths of Dai Ming's Soul Sea, it was just a projection of the world's will that was stored from nowhere.
He glanced at the Minghong knife in Deming's hand, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Oh? The heir of the Ming Hung Sword? Then it's easy, come to me with all your might, and let me see the choice of the deity. β
Deming didn't talk nonsense, the summoning fee of 10,000 world points per hour made him very painful, so he slashed at the big man in front of him.
