"The ninth level! Li Kun has really broken through to the ninth level!"

Outside, the exclamations of the cultivators could be heard clearly. But Li Kun turned a deaf ear to this, he was in a very complicated mood now, and he wanted to get out as soon as possible, but he had a feeling that he couldn't help himself.

Phantom Sword Spirit? What is this? Is it also a Sword Spirit?

Li Kun couldn't help but be a little curious, wanting to see what that phantom sword spirit was.

Soon, a red figure suddenly appeared not far away. The figure was clearly a person, but it was impossible to distinguish its appearance, not even its gender.

Obviously, it wasn't a real person, just a slightly humanoid illusion.

Could it be that the spirit of the Phantom Sword guarding the ninth level?

Definitely!

Li Kun suddenly became vigilant, and he was busy thinking secretly in his heart: "I don't know how this test sword formation was established. However, what is certain is that it must be a virtual scene created by the strong man of the service department with a powerful cultivation. The previous level is obviously very monotonous, and the spirit of the phantom sword in this level must not be so simple, maybe it will be directly controlled by the strong man. If that's the case, then I can't expose the sword spirit in my body to it. ”

Li Kun was thinking about it, and the spirit of the phantom sword actually let out a hearty laugh, and then said: "Little friend, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, just investigate your cultivation." ”

This Phantom Sword Spirit can actually speak! And the voice is so neutral that not only can it not hear its gender, but it is also impossible to estimate its age.

Li Kun was surprised and suspicious, and hurriedly asked, "Are you the spirit of the Phantom Sword?"

"Yes. ”

Sure enough, it's the Spirit of the Phantom Sword!

Li Kun hurriedly asked tentatively, "How did you come here?"

"You ask me how I got here?" the Phantom Sword Spirit asked in a playful voice, as if hearing the most mentally retarded question.

Li Kun hurriedly said, "Yes, I'm curious about what the Spirit of the Phantom Sword is all about. You can speak, are you conscious?"

The spirit of the illusory sword seemed to be quite interested in Li Kun's ignorance, and even laughed dryly, and said, "You little friend is really interesting. After cultivating for so many years, don't you know anything about the realm of cultivation?"

The more Li Kun listened, the more dazed he became.

The Phantom Sword Spirit then asked, "Then what do you think of this test sword formation?"

Li Kun just thought about this problem, so he said tentatively: "If I guess correctly, this should be a virtual scene where the strong man of the service department uses a powerful cultivation, and the red phantom sword in the first few levels is all a fictitious thing, and its requirements for breaking through are all pre-set programs." It should not be controlled by the consciousness of the founder. ”

"Well, that's good. The Spirit of the Phantom Sword said appreciatively, "You have limited knowledge, but you are quite intelligent. ”

If this is the case, then this phantom sword spirit will be even more and more difficult. Li Kun thus affirmed this.

For this reason, Li Kun became more and more vigilant, and hurriedly said tentatively: "In this way, you are different." You're not predetermined? You're going to be controlled by the consciousness of the strong man, right?"

The Spirit of the Phantom Sword said, "You're half right. I'm still the preset, still the Phantom Sword. It's just that some divine consciousness has been blessed, so it's called the spirit of the phantom sword. You're right, because I joined the Divine Consciousness that established the strong, so the tester situation of this level will be transmitted through the Divine Consciousness and fed back to the founder of the sword array. ”

Li Kun hurriedly asked, "Why do you want to collect the testers' clearance information, and what is the purpose?"

The Spirit of the Phantom Sword said, "Don't be nervous, little friend. This is naturally a good thing for you. For you casual cultivators, there is actually no shortage of people with good qualifications, but because they were born badly and lack the support of background resources, they will be reduced to the level of casual cultivators. You must know that although a person's cultivation path is extremely long, the most crucial thing is still the initial stage. The larger the cultivation sect, the more emphasis is placed on cultivation in the initial stage. For example, the Cloud Gate Sect attaches great importance to enlightenment and enlightenment. That's it. ”

Li Kun couldn't help but nod approvingly when he heard this.

The Spirit of the Phantom Sword continued: "Our Loose Cultivator Service Department has so many Loose Cultivators, although it is not a regular sect, it is no different from the sect. You casual cultivators are like our disciples to us. In addition, although we are rather loosely managed, we are still brutally popped up by loose practitioners. But after so many years of accumulation and precipitation, we already have a lot of influence. We also hope to produce some outstanding casual practitioners. Therefore, in recent years, we have also been secretly looking for young cultivators with excellent qualifications and carefully cultivating them. ”

It turns out that the Cultivator Service Department in Xianluo Town still has this kind of talent training mechanism?

In all fairness, this is indeed a good thing for casual practitioners.

However, this is not necessarily a good thing for Li Kun, who is hiding a secret, unless they don't know his body.

Li Kun suddenly remembered that Lang Tao had said that the service department had planned to recommend Lin Yue to Qixianmen. Since the service department has its own training system, why do you want to send Lin Yue out?

Thinking of this, Li Kun couldn't help but ask.

"I heard that the service department once planned to send outstanding loose cultivators to other sects to cultivate, why is that?"

The Spirit of the Phantom Sword said, "This is just a joint cultivation mechanism, it's normal. Don't you think those sects will also send their disciples to Xianluo Town to practice?"

Li Kun nodded as if he didn't understand, and then asked suspiciously: "Since you want to select scattered cultivator talents, isn't the Qi cultivation level more able to reflect the talent? Why do you want to look for them in the Sword Formation Breakthrough?"

The Spirit of the Illusory Sword smiled and said, "This is the sorrow of the scattered cultivators, you have not received a formal cultivation education, so you don't even understand this. Qi cultivation is hidden in the cultivator's dantian, which is the sensitive area of the cultivator, how can others be allowed to enter and probe? Therefore, the Qi cultivation level test can only be completed by the tester. And the results of the tester don't tell the whole story. The so-called cultivation talent is comprehensively evaluated by many factors. And the sword formation was tested to the back. Because of the blessing of the True Qi attack, the Loose Cultivator will fully display his Qi cultivation in the process of breaking through the level. This is a more comprehensive assessment of a casual cultivator's cultivation strength and talent. ”

Hearing this, Li Kun couldn't help but ask tentatively: "My Qi cultivation level test is zero, but I have passed the eight levels of the sword formation. Do you know why?"

Li Kun actually took a lot of risk in asking this question, because it was undoubtedly a reminder of his problem.

However, he thought about it again, this is not a secret at all, everyone here knows this, there is no need to hide it at all. It is better to test whether the strong man who set up this sword formation knows or suspects the reason. In this way, you can also have a good idea.

The Spirit of the Phantom Sword said, "Something must be wrong. But don't worry, after this level, I'll be able to figure out what's going on. ”

Sure enough, I'm here to spy on the situation!

Li Kun was secretly frightened, and secretly glad that the Spirit of the Illusory Sword had told him this first. If it's the same as the previous levels, he will do it as soon as he comes up without saying anything, but I'm afraid that his details have been completely exposed.

Thinking of this, Li Kun couldn't help but shudder, and secretly decided: "No matter what, this level test can't be carried out." ”

"Alright, little friend, let's get started, and use all your skills without reservation. ”

As he spoke, the spirit of the phantom sword flickered, like a phantom, and floated towards Li Kun lightly.

I must abstain!

Li Kun made up his mind, so he didn't dare to fight. Because when he passed the eighth level, he already knew that once he started to move, he would be involuntarily, and the sword spirit in his body would spontaneously absorb the true qi in the sword array, and he couldn't stop at all until he finished absorbing it.

However, if he escaped directly from the sword formation, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Phantom Sword Spirit, and let the strong man of the service department know, maybe it would bring trouble.

At this moment, Li Kun's heart was electric, and he immediately became anxious, and hurriedly shouted "oops", and at the same time squatted down, pressed his stomach, and showed a painful expression on his face.

The spirit of the phantom sword happened to float in front of Li Kun, but it actually stopped, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"I suddenly had a stomach ache. ”

Li Kun sweated out because of his nervousness, which was just right. The sweat on his head is just the right thing to prove his "illness".

The Spirit of the Phantom Sword said puzzledly: "Your forging body has reached the tenth order, it stands to reason that your body should be very strong, even the blade, if there is no auxiliary internal force, it will be difficult to hurt you." How can you suddenly get sick and have a stomach upset?"

Li Kun pretended to be more and more uncomfortable, and said, "Even if you refine the body at the tenth order, it is still a mortal body. Eating grains will give rise to all kinds of diseases. Is there a reason not to get sick? It's just that you're less sick than ordinary people. It is estimated that the food in the morning is not clean. I'll have to go back to the boss in a moment. ”

Although the Spirit of the Phantom Sword has a rare divine sense and has a preliminary ability to communicate with each other, it is different from the true consciousness after all. In the face of Li Kun's disguise, he couldn't tell the difference.

In addition, there is another reason.

Because this level is different from the previous level, the previous level is a pure procedural level, as long as it is started, it will not stop halfway, no matter whether the tester moves or not, the phantom sword will attack.

The main purpose of the Phantom Sword Spirit in this level is to test the true level of the tester, so it requires the tester's serious and full cooperation. If the test subject is unwilling to do so, the point of the investigation is lost.

Therefore, in the face of Li Kun's "illness", the spirit of the phantom sword had to stop.

"Little friend. There is only one chance, and if you give up this test, your sword formation score will be eight levels. In addition, valuable talent selection opportunities will be lost. ”

This is what Li Kun wants.

Li Kun was overjoyed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, he still made a painful appearance, and said: "I'm really uncomfortable, so I can only give up regretfully." ”

The Spirit of the Phantom Sword seemed to circle around Li Kun with regret, and then disappeared into the background of the silver sword.

At this time, a vigorous voice suddenly sounded.

"The tester gave up the ninth level of the sword formation. ”
