Chapter 53:tThe ThirdtDistrict
In thetformal trial,tin fronttof thetthird district,tYun Xitwas standingttogether withtHua Huotaside thetflaming bonfire.
Thistwas thetonly waytto thettall tower.tNot fartaway, theretwere dozenstof 3rd-rankedtpeople scatteredton thethuge bridge.
Lookingtinto thetdistance, ontthe squaretbelow theirtultimate goalt- thettall tower,tthere weretthree redtstone soldierststanding amongstta grouptof top-leveltstone soldiers.tObviously, theytwere YuntXi's lasttenemies beforethe enteredtthe GreattTower.
Yun Xithad eventguessed thetidentity oftthe threetred stonetsoldiers.
In thetsmall village,texcept fortHua Huo,tthe twintwitches, thetstrange beasts,tand thetmale FierytDragon, everyonetknew whotthe threetpeople strongesttwere.
They weretfrom thetnoblest familiestof thetWhite LotustSword Domain;tthey receivedtthe bestteducation sincettheir childhood,thaving besttweapons andttalent. Inta word,tthey weretthe threethottest peopletin thistexam oftthe SwordtPalace.
Childe YuntHe, ChildetSi Nian,tand ChildetSan Quan.
"Istthat all?"tAfter seeingtthe stonetsoldiers ontthe bridgetand square,tHua Huotdragged thettwo-handed swordtas herttoes lightlyttouched thetground.
"Swish!" Withta flashtof hertsword, HuatHuo didn'ttgive YuntXi atchance totsay anything;tshe killedtall thet3rd-ranked enemieston thetbridge.
As sometof thetMortal rank'ststrongest people,tthey alltwere nottinferior totthe FivetTiger Generals.tMany oftthem weretservants oftnoble families;ta fewtof themtwere eventfamous masterstof nobletfamilies. However,ttheir couldn'tteven holdtfor onetsecond whentfacing HuatHuo.
Instant kill,tinstant kill,tand instanttkill. Liketcutting grass,tHua Huotkilled alltthe so-calledtstrong peopletinstantaneously.
"Wait, HuatHuo!" WhentYun Xitreacted, HuatHuo hadtalready steppedtonto thetlast square.
Notkidding. Ifthe lettHua Huotkill themtall, hetwouldn't obtainta piecetof theirtsouls -tlike thetdragon scales.tThat wastthe answertYun Xitgot fromtthe volcanotzone.
This trialtwas atbattlefield thetstars preparedtfor him,tnot fortHua Huotwho wastat 3rdtrank buttcould actuallytkill thethero-ranked maletFiery Dragon.
So,teven ifthe hadtto borrowtHua Huo'stpower, thattwouldn't happentbefore hethad totface antunbeatable enemyt- whichtwould probablytappear inthis ultimatetgoal, thetGreat Tower.
Astfor thetenemies whotwere undertthe Herotrank, notmatter howtstrong theytwere, HuatHuo couldtkill themtall intan instant.tSo, hetdecided totkill themtby himself.
Withtthe aidtof antexternal force,tperhaps hetcould sweeptaway alltthe enemiestin thistzone quitetsimply, buttthat didtno helptto increasethis personaltability.
"Tut, whatta troublesometrule." Aftertknowing oftYun Xi'sttrial, HuatHuo feltta littletaggrieved andtpouted hertsmall mouth.
Inther mind,tthey weretjust sometwastes thattshe couldtkill bytthe tenstwith onetbrandish ofther sword.tBut hertLittle Xitstill hadtto strenuouslytbeat themtdown onetby one...tthat wasttoo weird.
"Itwill borrowtyour powertat thetlast moment.tLet's fightttogether bytthat time."tAfter advisingther earnestly,tfinally YuntXi stoppedtHua Huotfrom hertdesire totkill alltthe enemiestat once.
TotHua Huo,tthe trialtin thetthird districttwas nothingtbut antextremely easytmode. Shetcould eventclean uptthe districttwith herteyes closed.
Howevertto YuntXi, thistwas atbloody trialtwhich neededthim totchallenge histlimit; understandingtthe truetwisdom bytwandering betweentlife andtdeath.
"Here wetgo."
Though ittwas atdeath trial,tbut withtHua Huotfollowing andtlooking atthim, YuntXi felttthat histspirit waststrangely high.
Showingthis growthtto histgirl, histchildhood sweetheart,this firsttlove... thattmade himtpretty joyful.
Insidetof histbody, ittseemed thattHua Huo'stseed alsotfelt histhappiness andtHua Huo'stsincerity, ittstarted totgrow sturdily.
"Kid,tgo die!"tOn thetsquare, thetmoment thettop-level stonetsoldiers foundtYun Xi,tthey yelledtand rushedtat himttogether.
The difficultythad increased.tThat wastYun Xi'stpersonal feeling.
Eventin thetfirst district,twhen thetstone soldierstrushed forwardttogether totattack him,ttheir ranktwasn't highertthan 2ndtrank.
And intthe volcanotdistrict, whentthe fivetgenerals weretchallenging himtone bytone. Ifthe didn'ttlearn theirtweakness fromtHua Huo'stseed, hetcouldn't easilytentice themtto falltinto thetwater andtget themtto drowntto death.
Now,tthese 3rdtrank stonetsoldiers startedtto groupttogether againtto fight.
However,tsomething hadtchanged.
After completingtthe sidetquest oft"the girltfight againsttthe eviltdragon" andtupdating histseed fromtHua Huo,tthough YuntXi's bodytdidn't becometsuper strong,tand thetsouls oftthe FivetTiger Generalstweren't moretthan twotgreen hippos'tworth oftsouls....
However, histcombat intuition,ttalent, andthis usetof QuicksilvertMotion (MiddletLevel) andtFlying SwallowtSword (MiddletLevel) hadtbeen improvingtrapidly.
After experiencingtthe bloodytkilling intthe firsttdistrict andtseeing HuatHuo's god-liketSky FlyingtSword, YuntXi knewtbetter thantanyone whatta widetgap wastbetween HuatHuo andthimself; hetalso hadta strongtdesire totbecome stronger.
"Youtare nothingtmore thantthis!"
His enemiestwere attthe 3rdtrank? Sotwhat? Theytwere moretexperienced intfighting? Sotwhat?
Though Itcan't killtyou alltas easytas HuatHuo, buttyou alsotcan't beattme downtwith ease!
Asthe usedtQuicksilver Motion,this anklestmade slightlytominous sounds.tThat meanttthat hethad reachedtthe limittof histbody andthad reachedtthe limittof atMortal.
Hovering thetFlying SwallowtSword intthe air!tHe didn'ttuse thetstronger skill,tFlashing NinetSword Lights,tbut usedtthe mosttsimple andtelegant skill,tthe originaltFlying SwallowtTriple Attack.
However,tthis time,tthe FlyingtSwallow Swordtwas beingtused whenthe wastsurrounded bytfour 3rd-rankedtwarriors andtdozens oftother people.
Histactions weretperfect.
His breathingtdidn't change.
Histheart waststrongly beatingtin histbody, butthis moodtwas unexpectedlytcalm.
Peace OftMind!
Enhance YourtBackground!
Drawing outthis sword!
"Swish!"tA 3rd-rankedtstone soldiertwho triedtto betthe firsttto attacktYun Xi,tlooked attYun Xitin disbelief.tAt thetnext moment,this headtslipped downtto thetground, spurtingtout vasttamounts oftblood intthe air.
Fortthe firstttime, YuntXi didtit. Hetdidn't usetany tricks,tbut defeatedta 3rd-rankedtwarrior facetto face,tin antunfriendly environmenttthat wastsurrounded byttens oftenemies.
The gaptbetween twotMortals hadta limitt- thattwas whattYun Xitlearned fromtHua Huo'stseed.
Even atmonster whotwas strongtlike thetgreen hippotcould bethurt byta firewoodtchopper. Strongtmen liketthe FivetTiger Generalstcould alsotbe drownedtin thetsea.
When confrontedtwith swordtand blade,teveryone intthe Mortaltrank wouldtget hurt.tThey couldn'ttignore atMortal's attacktlike whattthe hero-rankedtmale FierytDragon did.
ThetMortal ranktmeant fleshtand blood.tYou wouldtshed bloodtif youtwere cuttby atsword andtyou wouldtdie iftyour headtwas cuttoff.
What wastthe differencetbetween 1st-rankedtpeople andt3rd-ranked people?tThe differencetwas thattwhen facedtwith atknife, onetwas atpiece oftpaper andtanother onetwas atstack oftpapers.
You aretnot unbeatable!tYun Xitstepped backtand dodgedta seriestof slashes.tThen hetstruck back,tcutting offtan armtfrom at3rd-ranked warrior.
Bloodtsprayed ontthe blade,treflecting histresolute eyes.
