Chapter 3: The Soul Proving Ground
On the way back to Yuqin Palace, Shen Yetong leaned on the backrest, supported his cheek with one hand, pouted irritably, and looked at the scenery outside the window in a daze.
Online novels all say that the traverser has a unique advantage, the system is close to the body, and the god pretends to be crazy, as long as she pretends to be x and slaps her face, she is good, she changes her way every day to get angry, and she has to worry that her head is still not on her neck.
There are no plug-ins, no golden fingers, no mysterious masters, and no accidental creations.
On the contrary, before the traverser crossed, she was no less than the classic bad situation of the original owner.
The identity that is not valued, the family that does not give cultivation resources, and the oppression of vicious supporting characters......
If she knew which star the author wrote the book and who made her travel to such a star world, she would definitely hold AK-47 and talk to him about life!
But for now, she's better to be an honest person.
Sitting in a crystal-like suspended sedan chair back to Yuqin Palace, the maid pushed open the door, opened the curtain, and respectfully did all the chores for them. Xia Lan'er, Shen Yetong's little hand, walked straight into the living room.
As soon as she entered the door, she gently tugged Shen Yetong's little hand, and her right eye blinked mischievously.
"Would you like some supper?"
Shen Yetong was stunned for a moment, immediately reacted, looked up at his mother, and nodded.
This is about to enter the Soul Proving Ground again.
Since she came to this world, Xia Lan'er has always been strict with her, etiquette, music, body, intelligence, and beauty, and since she was three years old, she was thrown into the soul trial ground to ravage in every way to enhance her strength.
The Tianyun Divine Realm is a world that combines immortal cultivation, technology, and magic, and under normal circumstances, this worldview is the supremacy of force.
In other words, strength is the foundation of everything, and enhancing strength is everyone's fate.
In fact, 24 hours a day, the mother and daughter spend 240 hours in the Soul Trial, which can set the time flow rate - and the rest of the time is spent sleeping.
Shen Yetong didn't know where this trial ground came from, but the emperor seemed to know a thing or two about this trial ground, but he didn't pursue it - he didn't even investigate the situation of their mother and daughter at all, and completely let them roll in the trial ground.
This is also where Shen Yetong feels dangerous.
A cunning and fickle emperor is tolerant of two people who secretly increase their strength, which is not necessarily a good thing.
Shen Yetong followed the steps of his mother's concubine, vigilantly looking at the familiar bronze walls and bronze statues around him, the rhythm of the Dao, distorting the light and shadow, his eyes seemed to be flashing with a ghostly light, staring at them.
She always thought that these bronze statues were alive, but she never saw them move.
After a while, the two came to a gate.
The bronze gate is carved with dragons, phoenixes, and tortoises, rare and exotic beasts, and the ghostly light lingers, and the powerful pressure is active under the rhythm of the Dao rhyme, making the surrounding time and space distorted.
Xia Lan'er's eyes were instantly vigilant, and her divine sense spread out to the surroundings, probing every corner of the surroundings.
It wasn't until she was sure that there was no danger that she turned her attention to the door again, discreetly taking out a carved wooden sign from her cuff.
The pattern of the wooden sign is weird, as if it contains some kind of rhyme. Xia Lan'er gently held up the wooden card, her divine sense operated, her spiritual power operated, and her spirit kept urging the Dao rhyme on the wooden card.
Suddenly, the wooden plaque emitted a ghostly light, and it slowly rose into the air, automatically inlaid in a depression in the center of the gate.
"Click!"
The door moved in response to the sound, and a blue fluorescent with a sense of science and technology burst out, instantly gathering and condensing, forming a blue screen in front of Xia Lan'er. The screen displays a variety of table parameters and scene displays, and there is a handwriting keyboard underneath.
"Scanning information, confirming permissions, confirmed access qualifications, number of admittances: two."
"Please set the time flow rate and venue."
The cold mechanical sound lingered in her ears, and Xia Lan'er's face was a little hesitant, but it instantly turned firm:
"Start the additional trial ground of the Xuan Realm, random scenes, and default time flow rate."
"Scanning to confirm permissions, additional trial ground access qualifications have been confirmed, number of admittances: two."
Shen Yetong was stunned when he heard this, and his face was puzzled.
Additional Proving Grounds?
Why didn't you have this before?
Moreover, the difficulty of the Occult Realm?
The difficulty of the Soul Proving Ground is determined by the four realms of Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang, and the difficulty decreases in this order.
Previously, they had always used the basic testing ground, and Xia Lan'er's setting for Shen Yetong had always been the Heavenly Realm difficulty, that is, the highest difficulty.
The trial ground has always challenged the limit, resulting in Shen Yetong's spirit almost breaking down at the beginning, crying and begging every day not to go in, and even pretending to be sick, running away, and rolling around for this...... Do whatever it takes.
However, in this additional testing ground, the mother concubine set up a mysterious realm difficulty?
Shen Yetong had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the door, a thick pressure came to his face, and Shen Yetong only felt as if he had a big mountain on his back, his hands and feet were weak, and his center of gravity was unstable, and he lay on the ground with a "plop".
She twisted her small body and tried to move once or twice, but found that she couldn't move at all, the effect of gravity seemed to be impossible to break free, and the person seemed to be stuck on the ground.
Depend on! That's a lot of gravity!
Previously, in the basic proving ground of the Heavenly Realm difficulty, under a thousand times the gravity, she was still able to move flexibly, and even be able to fight spirit beasts.
When you arrive at this additional testing ground, just the difficulty of the Xuan Realm, you will lie down directly?
What the hell is this devilish difficulty!
Shen Yetong was already about to scold the street in his heart, but when he turned around, he saw that his mother was still calm, and he didn't even know when he changed his clothes, white and capable long-sleeved trousers, bandages tied tightly at the hem of his trousers, and tucked in brown leather boots. The long silver hair was tied up high, and the complexion was calm, capable and neat.
Look at Shen Yetong again, he is still wearing a cumbersome princess dress with gold and jade inlaid beads!
"Tong'er, stand up and move forward."
Xia Lan'er's face was calm, and her originally gentle eyes were looking at Shen Yetong seriously at this time, frowning slightly, implying sadness and distress.
Shen Yetong suddenly wanted to cry without tears.
The mother concubine was like this before, there was no hint every time the difficulty was increased, let alone a buffer period, the mother didn't seem to care how old she was now, no matter what difficulty she was about to face, she was directly reckless.
As a result, every time I enter the trial, I fall directly, and the difficulty is as exciting as bungee jumping.
However, it was useless to say anything now, if she didn't stand up, the mother would stay with her in the proving ground all the time, her eyes fixed on her.
There is no food to eat, no water to drink, and the physical exertion will get faster and faster, until she faints in the trial ground, and she will not get any help from Xia Lan'er.
Although Shen Yetong finally woke up in his room after the previous situation, after recovering, he would be thrown into the trial ground again.
Shen Yetong took a deep breath, clenched the baby teeth in his small mouth, and exerted all his body, supporting his body, and slowly exerting force upward.
Gradually, her face became bloodshot, and she began to feel weak, as if she was going to fall down again, but she was still holding on, and her body trembled violently, trying to separate her upper body from the ground.
However, she just got up half of her body, but she was beaten down, and she tripped over the heavy skirt again, and with a "snap", she fell on the horse.
Xia Lan'er's eyes revealed a touch of distress, biting her lower lip, her body trembled rapidly, but her figure still stopped in place, her eyes staring at Shen Yetong.
7,000 times the gravity, for a 4-year-old child, to be able to get up a little bit already requires a lot of willpower.
But Shen Yetong can not only get up.
If she hadn't tripped over her skirt, she would have been able to stand up.
Shen Yetong couldn't get up, and suddenly pouted, his little face aggrieved.
But after only a moment of grievance, her face condensed, her divine sense worked, and she sensed her body.
The face hurt a little, and the upper body also hurt a little, but the meridians and aura worked intact and there were no fatal injuries.
After confirming that there was no injury, she looked calm, made a quick decision, and changed her strategy.
I saw her swaying her small body, her face was red again, her posture slowly changed, from lying on her stomach to lying on her side, her little hands were on the ground, her little arms were shaking violently, and she was supporting her smaller body to sit up slowly.
Then, she tilted her body and found a proper position to make sure she didn't fall down again.
Then, she lowered her head and looked at the heavy skirt on her body, the gold and jade Zhu Wen's ornaments, and her face was disgusted.
In the next second, she raised a pair of small hands, and there was a frantic tear at the pile of decorations, rags, broken gold leaf, and broken crystals flying all over the sky.
When the little hands finished tearing off the decoration, they formed a ball and threw it into the distance as if they were throwing a lead ball.
After a short time, there was only a layer of underwear and underwear left on Shen Yetong's body, and the rest of the things became a cloud of rags and garbage, and even the expensive jade shoes were thrown into the distance and fell into a pile of waste jade.
Xia Lan'er showed an appreciative smile in her eyes.
Shen Yetong didn't immediately use the magic of changing clothes quickly, but chose a simple and rude way.
Although the origin aura of this realm is strong, and it only restricts gravity and does not limit the rules, for the young Shen Yetong, magic is still a measure that consumes a lot of spiritual power.
Comparatively, it is a more suitable choice to consume physical strength and conserve mental and spiritual power.
After Shen Yetong tidied up his clothes, he gritted his teeth and tried to stand up again.
Without the cumbersome gold and jade ornaments, and without the heavy skirt support, Shen Yetong, who could have stood up with willpower, was completely light this time and was slowly standing up.
Not surprisingly, she succeeded.
She began to walk.
The gravity trial of the soul trial ground, the more forward, the stronger the gravity multiple, Shen Yetong hadn't taken a few steps, just 7,000 times the gravity, and it directly soared to more than 15,000 times.
Shen Yetong had to clench her immature baby teeth and move forward with a heavy load, allowing the sweat to soak her remaining clothes.
The trial ground does not tell the trialist the goal of the trial, or in other words, the trial does not have a clear goal, and all trials depend on how the trialist chooses.
But at the very least, the proving ground has a vague criterion for judging, and as long as you meet that standard, you can pass the trial.
If you do not meet the standard and lose consciousness, or if you are conscious but lose the ability to move, the trial will automatically be determined to be a failure and will be ended.
Therefore, Shen Yetong's goal is very clear, to move forward, be sober and conserve physical strength.
However, just as she was trying to take the next step, a circular magic array suddenly appeared in front of her, and in the blink of an eye, a huge spirit beast suddenly burst out from the center of the magic array and rushed straight into the air.
The spirit beast was a hundred feet tall, with a dragon head and a lion body, carrying wings on its back, and swallowing flames, and at this time it was glaring angrily, staring at Shen Yetong, as if angry that she had broken into its territory.
Shen Yetong was stunned for a moment, and almost retreated, but she reacted immediately, her silver teeth clenched, and she steadied her body, she looked at the spirit beast with a vigilant face, put on a posture, and prepared to fight.
Sudden danger is the usual routine in this testing ground.
Although Shen Yetong was used to it, she was still taken aback.
Seeing this, Xia Lan'er's face was serious, her spiritual power was working, and she slowly hid her aura in the surrounding environment, her eyes were fixed on Shen Yetong, but she only planned to watch the battle.
The spirit beast stood in the air, staring at Shen Yetong, seeing that he had not shocked this human cub, he was immediately ashamed and angry, his emotions were crazy, and the wings behind him fanned wildly, aiming at Shen Yetong, and swooped quickly.
Shen Yetong was immediately alert, using all his strength to dominate his sore legs, and when the spirit beast had just approached, he picked up from the spot and dodged the spirit beast's attack.
The spirit beast couldn't strike a blow, so it was naturally even more embarrassed and angry, turned around and flew into the air, luck condensed, and the light on his forehead was instantaneous.
Not long after, a brilliant pillar of fire erupted and rushed straight towards Shen Yetong's location.
Shen Yetong was alert, his silver teeth were clenched, he felt his weak legs, and his heart sank slightly.
This attack is no longer dodgeable.
So, she immediately made a decision, pinched the trick with both hands, chanted in her mouth, and her palms instantly shone brightly, and the circular magic circle appeared.
The pillar of fire was getting closer and closer, and the magic circle in Shen Yetong's hand was also taking shape.
At the moment when the pillar of fire approached, the magic circle in Shen Yetong's hand began to operate, and the purple barrier instantly appeared, protecting Shen Yetong's petite figure in the middle.
It's a catch-up.
In fact, the strength of this spirit beast is similar to Shen Yetong, both of them are the third stage of the realm of enlightenment, but the spirit beast has adapted to the environment of 15,000 times the gravity, and at this time, both flexibility and physical strength are above Shen Yetong.
Shen Yetong was tortured by the gravity field and lost all his physical strength, so he had to defend passively.
You can't attack it, you have to outwit it.
Mammalian spirit animals, eyes, heart, and back of the head are all weak points, as long as you grab them, you can kill them with one blow.
To accurately grasp these weaknesses, she is at least able to move flexibly.
Physical strength is a necessity.
Shen Yetong understands this kind of truth, and the spirit beast naturally understands it, and it naturally won't give Shen Yetong a chance to recover. The continuous firepower output made Shen Yetong unable to do anything, and he could only defend himself against the fierce attack of the pillar of fire, and he had no time to take care of the recovery of his physical strength.
However, the powerful firepower output will not last long, and the spirit beast will also be tired.
The powerful pillar of fire lasted for a minute, and finally put out the fire temporarily.
The spirit beast flew in the air, sticking out its tongue, as if it was about to be roasted dry by the pillar of fire, but in the face of Shen Yetong, it was still not dead, and its forehead was rhythmic, brewing for the next attack.
This rest, in just a few seconds, gave Shen Yetong a chance to breathe.
She made a decision immediately, and quickly used her spiritual power, driving the meridian movement to regulate pranayama, and moisturizing her limbs.
The recovery of physical strength brought by spiritual power was huge, but in the blink of an eye, Shen Yetong's physical strength had recovered about three percent.
Although it was only three percent, it was enough for her to kill the spirit beast in front of her in such a place where the origin was extremely strong.
Ethereal Body Method - Instantaneous!
With the blessing of spiritual power, the magic circle rose instantly, and Shen Yetong's figure disappeared in an instant.
The spirit beast was stunned for a moment, instantly collected the move brewing on his forehead, raised his head suddenly, looked around, his consciousness scattered, and felt Shen Yetong's faint breath.
However, at this time, Shen Yetong not only lost her shadow, but she couldn't even find her breath, her Dao Yun seemed to disappear out of thin air, and there was no longer any trace.
The little thing, which was fragile and petite just now, suddenly disappeared at this moment, just like the mosquito that was about to hit suddenly disappeared.
The spirit beast briefly went into a trance.
And in an instant, Shen Yetong's figure flew into the sky above the spirit beast, a little smaller, but it was rapidly descending.
Sensing this, the spirit beast hurriedly turned around, but saw that the petite figure was constantly magnifying, heading straight to his eyebrows, it just wanted to charge up again, but Shen Yetong had already come closer.
The circular circle appeared in an instant, the brilliance shone, the Dao rhyme surged, and a pillar of light fell from the sky.
Before the pillar of light fell, Shen Yetong's figure had already returned to Xia Lan'er's side, and the poor spirit beast's head had been pierced through a big hole.
Underestimating the enemy is a taboo on the battlefield.
The spirit beast originally thought that Shen Yetong was at the end of the crossbow, but she didn't want to be at the end, she could still burst out with a few powers.
At this point, Shen Yetong's physical strength and spiritual power had been completely exhausted, and he stood beside Xia Lan'er, his body shaky. However, her face was firm, she forcibly supported her body, and stood stubbornly in place.
The trial is not over yet, and she relaxes at this time, and she will only be judged a failure.
Seeing this, Xia Lan'er leaned down and gently touched Shen Yetong's little head, her beautiful face was full of pride and distress.
Her child, as good as ever.
Better than her distant brother, even several times better.
At this time, the cotton thread of the mother and daughter, a blue screen suddenly appeared, the two were stunned, but they saw that the top position hung with the four big words "trial success", the middle and lower parts of the screen are Shen Yetong's various data and analysis of this trial.
Seeing that the trial was successful, Shen Yetong suddenly relaxed, his small body staggered, and he stuck on Xia Lan'er's calf.
Seeing this, Xia Lan'er smiled gently, leaned over and picked up Shen Yetong's young body, held her daughter firmly in her arms, mentally communicated the consciousness of the testing ground, and opened her lips and said:
"Apply to activate the teleportation array, back to reality."
Before the words fell, Xia Lan'er's surroundings were full of brilliance, and the teleportation array instantly appeared at her feet, but in the blink of an eye, the two disappeared in place and returned to the bronze gate.
Xia Lan'er carried her daughter back to the second bedroom of Yuqin Palace, slowly lifted the light purple curtain with her spiritual power, put Shen Yetong on the bed, and used gentle dressing magic to change into a nightdress, cover the quilt, and pull up the curtains.
Then, she quietly turned off the lights and turned away.
Her daughter needs a break.
Tomorrow is the first day of school at the Royal Missionary, and she needs to be ready.
