Chapter 378, The First Trial

Fate, fate again. Qi Ling couldn't remember which woman he was destined to be with. He must have been a compass in his previous life, and everything would be round.

Seeing Qi Ling's dazed expression, Chen Xin thought that Qi Ling was worried about Jian Lan's lack of strength, so he hurriedly said: "Qi Ling, you don't have to worry about Lan'er's strength. Although she is only at the Soul Sect level, ordinary Soul Kings are not her opponents at all. Even at the Soul Emperor level, there are few rivals."

"And in terms of swordsmanship, Lan'er is already perfect. If it is a trial related to swords, she can definitely help you."

Qi Ling shook his head and said: "No, Senior Chen Xin, I'm not worried about this. It's better to say that getting Jian Lan's help may be a better choice."

After all, Qi Ling didn't know the content of this trial at all. If the difficulty of the trial increased because of the participation of a Titled Douluo, it would be a loss.

After getting Qi Ling's promise, Chen Xin was immediately happy. To him, Jian Lan was like his own daughter, so being able to solve Jian Lan's problem made him happier than anything else.

Then, under the leadership of Ning Rongrong, Qi Ling went to the bamboo forest where Jian Lan was again and met the most famous genius of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.

Almost exactly the same as the previous scene, Jian Lan still knelt quietly beside the stone table, with her long sword on the table. The whole scene was as beautiful as a painting.

After noticing the arrival of Qi Ling and Ning Rongrong, Jianlan turned her head slightly and smiled at them: "Ah, Rongrong, and Qi Ling, when did you come back?"

Then Jianlan stood up, and Ning Rongrong happily threw herself into her arms and said: "Sister Jianlan, I miss you so much!"

Jianlan touched Ning Rongrong's head lovingly and said: "You girl, don't I see you often? Why are you still so exaggerated?"

"Haha, I can't help it, I like you too much, Sister Jianlan." Ning Rongrong smiled, "By the way, Sister Jianlan, I have good news to tell you! The problem that has been bothering you for a long time can be solved, Qi Ling can help you!"

Jianlan listened to Ning Rongrong's words and looked at Qi Ling, who said helplessly: "Well... Actually, I have something to ask you for help, but Senior Chenxin said that this matter seems to be good for you, so... I don't know if you are willing?"

Then, Qi Ling told Jianlan everything he knew, and Jianlan looked calm and didn't seem very surprised.

"Really? So that's why, no wonder Zhanxian has been restless since this morning, it turns out it's because..." Jianlan said, "Qi Ling, thank you very much, if this trial can really solve my doubts, then it will be like a new life for me."

"Okay, I asked you for help, so we should help each other." Qi Ling said, "In that case, Jianlan, when do you think we should start the trial?"

"Anytime is fine, or rather, I can't wait any longer." Jianlan picked up the sword on the stone table and hung it around her waist. Unlike Chen Xin, Jianlan seemed to like to keep her martial spirit summoned at all times.

[Ding Dong! The host has confirmed the companions, do you want to start the trial? ]

The system's voice sounded at this time, and Qi Ling said without hesitation: "Start!"

Then, above the open space in front of the three people, the space suddenly cracked a gap, and then a golden and simple door suddenly appeared there, and opened to both sides, revealing a completely different mysterious world inside.

It seems that this should be the world of trial that the system said. Qi Ling and Jian Lan looked at each other and walked slowly towards the door.

Ning Rongrong was curious and wanted to go in to take a look, but when she came to the door, she could no longer move forward. An invisible barrier wrapped the world inside, making it impossible for anyone to enter except those who accepted the trial.

After Qi Ling and Jian Lan walked into the world inside the door, the door slowly closed and then gradually disappeared into the air, as if it had never appeared.

"Qi Ling, Sister Jian Lan, you must come back safely!" Ning Rongrong prayed for the two.

Inside the door, there was a wide passage that led the two to a very spacious room.

This was a huge white space with no edge at a glance. There was no extra decoration inside, as if it was a space specially used for training.

Qi Ling stood at the entrance of this space, looked around, and then smiled: "Huo, what a big place, if this place is used to develop real estate, it will make a lot of money!"

"What is real estate?" Jian Lan asked in confusion.

"Haha, nothing, just bubbles." Qi Ling laughed casually, "But there is such a large open space, and I can't see anything. Will they suddenly start to spawn monsters and let me level up?"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a sudden "click" sound, and an iron sword fell from the sky, landing at Qi Ling's feet.

Qi Ling frowned and picked up the iron sword, and just as he stood up, a black figure suddenly gathered in front of him and took a stance.

Qi Ling: "...What kind of third-rate online game routine is this? Are you kidding me?"

Jianlan slowly walked towards the black shadow, and after she approached, the black shadow did not launch any attack, and just remained in the same posture without moving.

"This thing has no consciousness, no life, and no entity." While looking at the black shadow, Jianlan slowly analyzed: "Moreover, it will not respond to human movements, let alone attack."

"Rather than saying it is our enemy, it is more like..." Jianlan tried to express, "a sword intent?"

"Sword intent? This thing is sword intent?" Qi Ling also frowned and looked at the black shadow in front of him, "So the sword intent is such a specific thing? Are you sword players all magicians?"

"No, we play swords... We who use swords can't do this, the sword intent is condensed." Jianlan shook her head and said, "This should be something that only happens in this space. It is really amazing to make invisible things tangible."

"So, the meaning of this system is also very clear. It just wants me to use this sword to comprehend this sword intent?" Qi Ling looked at the sword in his hand, and then imitated the posture of the black shadow and tried to swing the sword.

"Like this? Like this? Like this?!"

After trying many times, no matter what posture Qi Ling changed, he could not satisfy the system, and the black shadow did not change at all, which made Qi Ling very depressed.

"That's not how it should be done, Qi Ling. To use a sword, you can't just have its form, you have to understand its spirit." Jian Lan said, and came to Qi Ling, holding his sword-holding hand and said, "Come, I'll teach you, the sword should be used like this."
