Chapter 85: The Final Test
"Only I am the true self......" Duan Yun muttered to himself. He didn't know what this sentence meant for a while, but he thought that grandpa must have a reason for saying this.
Just as Duan Yun pondered the meaning of these words, he found that the scenery in front of him changed suddenly, and he seemed to have returned to the trial place of Moon City.
At this moment, he was surrounded by Shi Kun, Lin Ming and Wang Ning.
"Duan Yun, you are really ridiculous, a small fourth-level martial artist actually dared to challenge three of us fifth-level martial servants at the same time. Today I'll let you know what it means to be overwhelmed!" Shi Kun sneered.
"Brother Shi, why bother talking nonsense with this kind of person, let's get rid of him quickly!" Lin Ming and Wang Ning obviously didn't take Duan Yun seriously, and their words were quite impatient.
"What's the hurry, the cat always has to tease before eating the mouse, you two can watch the battle from the side, and I will be enough to deal with him alone!" Shi Kun unhurriedly drew the sword from the scabbard and admired it for a long time before swinging it out carelessly.
Duan Yun instinctively wanted to teleport, but he found that he couldn't summon any power at all, just like a person who had never practiced martial arts. In desperation, he had to roll on the ground and dodge.
This embarrassing action immediately drew laughter from the onlookers. Shi Kun's sword seemed to have eyes, and it fell on Duan Yun's side every time, forcing him to keep rolling around on the ground.
"With this little ability, you dare to shout against the three of us, haha, it makes people laugh off their teeth. Shi Kun finally lost his patience and stomped on Duan Yun's chest with a fierce kick, and the long sword in his hand stabbed down at the same time.
"No!" Seeing the tip of the sword gradually dilute in his pupils, Duan Yun closed his eyes in despair.
And at this moment, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. Why can't you teleport, and you can't even release the simplest martial arts, this fully shows that you are not your real self at this time, this is clearly another illusion!
"'I' am not me, because I am me!Haha, grandpa, I finally figured it out!" Duan Yun suddenly laughed. With his enlightenment, Shi Kun and the others disappeared without a trace in an instant, and what appeared in front of him was the gate to the third floor.
For Duan Yun, all this seemed like a dream, but this dream was so real, so real that he still didn't know if his grandfather had left a remnant soul in the storage ring given to him. He had no doubt that if he couldn't get out of this dream, once his mental strength was exhausted, he might be trapped in it forever.
Taking a deep breath, Duan Yun walked towards this final layer.
Perhaps because of reaching the top of the tower, the space in front of you is not large, and the most striking of them is a huge transparent light mask. On the surface of the cover, there are cumbersome runes circulating, and inside is a jade slip with the three big characters "Battle Formation Technique" on it that are clearly legible. On the other side of the hood is a small door, which is supposed to be the way to leave.
Looking at this light mask, Duan Yun was not in a hurry to try. Because he had been in the illusion realm for too long, his mental power was seriously depleted, and if he didn't replenish it in time, he might hurt the origin, not to mention breaking this prohibition and even taking out the battle formation technique.
As if sweeping the light mask, Duan Yun sat down on the spot and took out the fourth-level Superb Soul Gathering Pill that he had refined in the Dan Technique Finals before. Although he was a little reluctant, Duan Yun could still grasp which was more important, so after studying it for a while, he swallowed this pill in one gulp.
Although this pill was refined by Duan Yun himself, he still underestimated the medicinal effect of the Peerless Pill. As the pill turned into liquid, a powerful spiritual force instantly rushed into his almost depleted spiritual seed. Duan Yun endured the severe pain caused by the impact and observed the changes in the seeds of spiritual power.
Like a long-arid land, the seeds of spiritual power greedily absorb this timely rain. And with this almost frantic absorption, it begins to swell gradually.
What especially surprised Duan Yun was that in the process of swelling, a young shoot finally broke through the blockade and appeared.
However, before he could rejoice, he saw that the spiritual seed that had been filled quickly began to shrink. Lacking a source of energy, the shoots withered.
Duan Yun secretly screamed badly, and hurriedly took out all the elixirs that he had refined before to nourish his spiritual power, and kept sending them into his mouth.
The huge medicinal power made Duan Yun, who was already in pain, even worse, but he knew that once he missed this opportunity, it would be even more difficult for the spiritual power seed to sprout. On the path of cultivation, there are very few opportunities that can really be called opportunities, and if you miss them, you may miss them forever. Just like with someone, you can't grasp her when she's around you, and when you regret trying to get her back, you find that she's gone and can't be found...... (Alas, thinking of some of the past, it is inevitable that I am a little sad.) )
The mental pain was far beyond **, even Duan Yun was unbearable, and he almost fainted. Fortunately, the medicinal power came in time, and the young shoots finally stopped the decline, and split from one petal to two petals, and even appeared in the rudiments of vines.
Seeing this scene, Duan Yun, who had relaxed, lost consciousness as soon as his eyes darkened.
Time passes inexorably......
The number of people watching from outside the tower began to thin out. Originally, the two bright spots on the tower had become dim, which had already made everyone have bad ideas, and at this moment, the red dot belonging to Duan Yun was also looming, and many people suddenly shook their heads, sighing one after another and preparing to leave.
Among these people, a considerable number of them were waiting for Duan Yun to come out and ask for medicine, and seeing this situation, they were all a little disappointed.
"Look, the red dot has moved. I don't know who shouted, and then everyone stopped, condensed their breath, and looked at the tower.
......
With the dissipation of the medicinal power, after three days in a coma, Duan Yun finally woke up. He rubbed his eyes and stood up, probing his body.
At this moment, the spiritual power seed had disappeared, and was replaced by a strange plant. This plant was rooted in Duan Yun's mind, and what he could detect was a vine, far away from the Tree of Mental Power.
Duan Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly, what kind of sin did he create, his mind was about to become a botanical garden, and he also raised a cold fire that was unwilling to be lonely. I don't know how many strange things will make their home here in the future......
However, Duan Yun didn't know that after a few years, his bizarre idea had really become a reality......
Feeling the abundant spiritual power brought by the seed vine, Duan Yun walked towards the light shield where the formation pattern flowed.
The battle array and the formation pattern actually have the same effect. The reason why the names of the two are different is that the battle array uses powerful spiritual power to connect the breath of many warriors together, while the formation pattern integrates runes one by one.
This point, Duan Yun had already learned from Xie Tian's mouth before coming to the Spirit Tower. Therefore, he understood that the reason why he spent so much effort to place a ban outside the Battle Formation Technique was most likely a test for those who accepted the inheritance.
However, for Duan Yun, who had never studied the formation pattern, how to break this complicated prohibition was a problem.
Staring at the constantly flying formations in front of him, Duan Yun fell into thought.
