Chapter 133: First in Sequence, I Want to Beat Ten of Them!
After Li Zhenqian left.
Wanxun also had a look of confusion on his face.
His strength is not weak, and he has perfected his foundation building skills, and he can rank among the top twenty monks participating in the ruins this time.
But it was already difficult for him to pass the second test.
Although he had Li Zhenqian as a dragster, after seeing the huge gap between him and Lin Chen, he had doubts about whether he could pass the third test.
After struggling for a long time, he made up his mind.
He walked up to Lin Chen, cupped his hands and said:
"Brother Xu... I know my strength is only ordinary..."
"But I have to consider whether this ruins is my only chance in this life... If I don't risk my life, how can I get a glimpse of the golden elixir or even the realm of childbirth?"
"If I make a mistake...can you trouble Brother Xu to bring the news back to Changchun Gate?"
Lin Chen was silent after hearing this.
In his opinion, whether Wanxun can pass the third test based on his strength is still a 50-50 decision.
But this choice all depends on the individual, and Lin Chen cannot decide the fate of others.
So Lin Chen cupped his hands and said:
"Fellow Taoist Wan, at this time... just act with your heart!"
…
After a while, more than a dozen monks took away the Jin Yuandan and chose to leave one after another.
At this time, there were exactly thirty monks left in the space.
The weakest ones also have the ninth level of foundation building, and they are all very confident in their own strength.
As the exit passage closed, the cold voice sounded in the space again.
"The third level of assessment will begin next, Puppet Forest."
"All monks participating in the assessment, please try your best to pass higher levels. This will affect your subsequent scores and rewards."
"All monks please enter the assessment room..."
As the cold voice fell, exactly thirty doors opened in the space.
Guimu Tongzi, Li Tianhan and others did not hesitate and each chose a door to enter.
Lin Chen glanced at the countdown on his arm.
It's time to return to Blue Star in less than ten minutes.
So he did not rush to enter, but waited in this space for a while.
The other twenty-nine monks quickly entered the door, and Lin Chen was the only one left in the space.
And the countdown on his arm also cleared.
Lin Chen's vision changed.
…
Daxia Kingdom, Martial Arts Palace.
After returning, Lin Chen held a nano bag in his hands and handed it to Wang Lishan.
After Wang Lishan took the nanobag, he almost lost his grip.
"What's in it? Why is it so heavy?" Wang Lishan asked in surprise.
"Open it and take a look?" Lin Chen hesitated.
After Wang Lishan opened the nano bag, he found that each of the bricks and tiles contained in it was heavy.
After taking one out and observing it in his hand, Wang Lishan said in surprise:
"Are these all alien metals? High-level alien metals?"
Lin Chen nodded and said: "It's almost the same. I guess it should be a fourth-order exotic metal. I still need to test it for details..."
Wang Lishan was silent after hearing this, and then weighed the nano bag in his hand.
"This... how much do these foreign metals weigh?"
"About two hundred thousand catties..."
"Where did you get so many foreign metals?"
"What I found in the secret realm is only part of it... There are at least ten times as many in the world of cultivating immortals, but I can't bring them back for the time being."
Lin Chen was a little helpless, although his strength was not small.
But at most it can only lift more than 200,000 kilograms of items.
Lin Chen was already having a hard time bringing back this nano bag...
In front of him, Wang Lishan was completely shocked.
Two hundred thousand kilograms of fourth-level exotic metals... This is already the output of the entire Daxia Kingdom in several years.
There are only a few martial realms that can produce exotic metals, not to mention that mining is very risky, so the output is really not high...
These two hundred thousand kilograms of fourth-level exotic metals alone are enough to create nearly a thousand exotic treasures and arm thousands of martial spirit-level experts.
And Lin Chen said that he still had ten times the inventory in the world of immortality, didn't he mean that it was enough to arm tens of thousands of powerful martial artists?
So, the problem now is not that there are not enough different metals, but that there are not enough martial spirit level experts!
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Lin Chen brings back this batch of exotic metals.
In the next ten or even decades, Daxia will not be short of exotic metal weapons.
Because, there are not that many strong people using it...
Thinking of this, Wang Lishan said decisively:
"Lin Chen, we will turn this batch of exotic metals into exotic treasures as soon as possible and send them to the frontline of the martial realm..."
"However, the quantity of this batch of exotic metals is too large. The excess can be used to create more martial arts puppets to ensure your safety in the world of immortality!"
Lin Chen nodded after hearing this. He didn't think there were too many martial arts puppets!
After that, Lin Chen gave some detailed information about the world of immortality, and then went to the room to retreat.
There are still seven days until the next crossing.
Lin Chen's goal is to reach the completion of foundation building!
…
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.
In the specially built training room, Lin Chen sat cross-legged, running the Changchun Art.
Every time the sky rotates, dozens of surrounding spiritual stones turn into powder, and the pure spiritual energy pours into Lin Chen's dantian.
At such a terrifying cultivation speed, the spiritual energy in Lin Chen's dantian became increasingly full.
The foundation building alchemy platform also became more solid.
Finally, when Lin Chen's dantian could no longer hold any more spiritual energy, the aura throughout his body became mellow and full.
He opened his eyes.
"The foundation building is complete and finally achieved!"
Lin Chen felt the spiritual energy in his Dantian carefully, and a flash of confidence flashed in his eyes.
"After completing the foundation building breakthrough, my true magic power is no worse than that of the fake alchemy monks!"
"Next, passing the assessment will give you a little more confidence."
He glanced at the countdown on his arm.
There are less than 4 hours until the next crossing.
…
Martial Arts Palace, Time Travel Room.
General Wang Lishan provided Lin Chen with a lot of equipment and treasures.
He called Lin Chen aside and said with a smile on his face:
"Two days ago, after the decision of the Supreme Meeting, your ranking in the sequence plan increased by three places..."
"Officially ranked first in the sequence!"
Speaking of this, Wang Lishan said with some emotion in his eyes:
"I have just been promoted to the martial spirit level and am ranked first in the sequence. This is really unprecedented!"
"According to the rewards of the sequence plan, the number one in the sequence will receive more resources, including the transformation of martial spirits, the teachings of the most powerful martial arts masters, and the flesh and blood essence of fourth-order monsters..."
"Haha, but these won't be of much use to you kid, they're just a symbol of honor."
Lin Chen was noncommittal after hearing this.
Indeed, he has now been almost fully cultivated by the country and cultivated with top resources.
Even if he is ranked first, he does not enjoy as many resources as him.
Therefore, the title of being number one in the sequence is just an honor for him.
"By the way, there is also the flesh and blood essence of the fourth-order monster beast... After you break through the martial spirit, the effect of the flesh and blood of the third-order monster beast is greatly reduced, and you can barely absorb the flesh and blood essence of the fourth-order monster beast."
Wang Lishan handed over a small box.
Lin Chen opened it and saw that it contained a piece of flesh and blood the size of a fist, weighing about a kilogram.
Compared with the third-level monster flesh and blood, the color of this fourth-level flesh and blood essence is darker.
At the same time, the alluring fragrance made Lin Chen want to swallow it in one gulp.
But he knew that the energy contained in this thing was too terrifying. With Lin Chen's physical condition, he would be the one to suffer if he swallowed a whole piece.
Wang Lishan also flashed a look of physical pain in his eyes.
"This fourth-level monster is comparable to the existence of Martial Lord or even Martial King... This flesh and blood essence is extremely precious, you kid, don't waste it!"
"Even for me, I don't have much quota for this thing."
Lin Chen nodded after hearing this. This pound of fourth-level flesh and blood essence was enough for his cultivation needs in the next five months.
"Uncle Wang, when I become the King of Martial Arts, I will personally go to the Martial Realm to kill the fourth-level monsters...then I will have as many of them as I can!" Lin Chen chuckled.
Wang Lishan rolled his eyes after hearing this and did not refute.
In his opinion, if Lin Chen becomes Queen Wu, maybe he can actually do it.
Lin Chen then made some preparations before traveling.
Keeping the body in the crossing position, there are almost no flaws in appearance.
Until time travel is reset again...
…
The ruins of Jin Yuanzong, a mysterious space.
Lin Chen opened his eyes, nothing changed.
At this time, he was the only one left in this space, and the other monks each chose a room to challenge.
"Everything is ready, let's start the third level of assessment!"
Lin Chen walked into the last room...
As soon as he stepped into the room, there was a loud bang behind him.
An unknown amount of heavy stone walls fell down, blocking Lin Chen's escape route.
In front of him, there was a long, dark path, with only the luminous pearls on the stone walls emitting a faint light.
"The third level assessment is Puppet Forest... Judging from the name, it should be related to puppets?"
Lin Chen moved forward easily. After walking for about dozens of steps, the surrounding area gradually opened up.
This is a closed room with a radius of about tens of feet.
There are stone walls all around, with mysterious formations carved on them.
After Lin Chen stepped into the room, the cold voice came again.
"Next, let's start the first round of the third level assessment: I want to hit one!"
As the cold voice fell, a door opened on the stone wall in front of Lin Chen.
Then, a figure walked out slowly.
When he got closer, Lin Chen saw clearly that it was a puppet in human form.
"Puppet Forest, does it mean to defeat the puppets?"
"Looking at the introduction to this assessment, it seems that there is more than one puppet to defeat? It's interesting..."
Lin Chen thought quickly in his mind.
The puppet in front of him also burst out at an astonishing speed and rushed towards Lin Chen.
As the fist waved, it almost turned into an afterimage in the air.
Lin Chen held up his body-protecting essence and withstood the puppet's blow.
The body-protecting essence vibrated slightly, Lin Chen nodded slightly and said:
"Looking at this strength, it is equivalent to a body-refining monk who has completed the foundation building... As expected, the third level of assessment is much more difficult than the second level!"
However, the foundation building was complete, and there was still no pressure on Lin Chen...
After testing the attack methods of these puppets, Lin Chen took out the demon-slaying knife.
He didn't even use the power of the vibrating sword and the candle dragon, he just slashed forward!
The shadow of the knife flashed.
The blade fell from the puppet's head and struck directly to the root of the thigh.
The entire puppet was cut in half by Lin Chen's sword...
After the puppet was cut in half, the light in its eyes gradually dissipated, and it lay motionless on the ground.
At the same time, the cold voice came again.
"Passed the first round of assessment in 5 minutes and 37 seconds..."
"Next, let's start the second round of the third level assessment. I'm going to hit two!"
As the voice fell, a stone door opened again on the stone wall in front of Lin Chen.
Two puppets that were exactly the same as before came out.
This time, Lin Chen took the initiative to attack.
He exerted force on his legs and rushed forward. Lin Chen approached the two puppets in an instant.
Then, he slashed with two swords without any delay.
The two puppets fell to the ground without even having time to resist.
"It took 7 seconds to pass the first round of assessment..."
"Next, the third round of the third level assessment will begin. I want to fight three!"
The stone door opened again, and three puppets that were exactly the same as before came out.
Lin Chen raised his eyebrows and muttered:
"One more per round?"
"This difficulty is a bit exaggerated. I'm afraid that other cultivators who have completed the foundation building can't survive this level..."
However, this is still not much difficulty for Lin Chen.
After a few breaths, three puppets with perfect foundation building fell to the ground.
But this time, the cold voice was a little different.
"Successfully passed the first three rounds of assessment, a total of 5 minutes and 58 seconds, and the evaluation is C-level..."
"You get three low-grade Jinyuan Pills as an assessment reward..."
"You can choose to end the assessment or continue to participate..."
With a strange sound, a stone platform appeared on the floor.
There was a jade box on it. Lin Chen opened it and saw three round Jinyuan Pills.
"Hiss...Isn't this assessment reward too generous? As long as you pass three rounds, you will be rewarded with three Jinyuan Pills?"
Lin Chen's eyes flashed with a fiery color.
Three Jinyuan Pills are worth at least 300,000 spirit stones. And there is no market for them!
"However, in the first three rounds alone, I am afraid that half of the thirty foundation-building cultivators will be eliminated..."
Lin Chen muttered.
Although these puppets are vulnerable to him, it is because his martial arts strength has reached the stage of Jindan.
But the other cultivators have all reached the perfect foundation... It's not easy to defeat the puppets of the same level with one against many...
Lin Chen decisively put the Jinyuan Pill into his pocket, and then stood there quietly waiting.
Soon, the passage to leave the room was closed.
At the same time, a voice came:
"In the fourth round of assessment, I will fight four..."
...
A moment later, Lin Chen stood there quietly with the demon-slaying sword in his hand.
In front of him, there stood six puppets comparable to the perfect foundation.
The name of this round of assessment is, I will fight ten!
Looking at the six puppets in front of him, Lin Chen frowned slightly.
"How many puppets are there in this level of assessment... Could it be endless?"
Lin Chen shook his head. Even the ancient Jinyuan Sect could not have endless puppets.
However, he didn't know how many puppet enemies there were, so he had to save his physical strength as much as possible...
After drinking a physical potion, Lin Chen felt his physical strength slowly recovering.
So he held the knife again and rushed towards the six foundation-building puppets in front of him.
The blade flashed continuously, and after a round of battle, a cold voice came in the air.
"Successfully passed the first six rounds of assessment, a total of 10 minutes and 36 seconds, and the evaluation was medium-level..."
"You get a medium-grade Jinyuan Pill as an assessment reward..."
"You can choose to continue the assessment or leave..."
Lin Chen stepped forward and took the medium-grade Jinyuan Pill from the stone platform.
Looking at the round luster on the Jinyuan Pill, Lin Chen swallowed his saliva.
"The medium-grade Jinyuan Pill can increase the chance of forming a pill by 40%!"
Unlike the foundation-building pill, a cultivator can only eat one Jinyuan Pill.
Therefore, the higher the quality, the better!
This medium-grade Jinyuan Pill is too precious...
"Could it be that the reward after this level will be a high-grade Jinyuan Pill?"
Lin Chen thought silently and continued to wait in place.
...
In the closed space, the sound of golden swords colliding continued to be heard.
Facing the siege of ten perfect foundation-building puppets, Lin Chen was still at ease.
This is the gap between the Jindan stage and the foundation building stage...
When the last puppet fell, Lin Chen quickly took out the pills and physical potion to restore his state.
At the same time, the cold voice echoed in the room again.
"Successfully passed the first ten rounds of assessment, a total of 20 minutes and 17 seconds, and the evaluation is below A..."
"You get a high-grade Jinyuan Pill as an assessment reward..."
As expected by Lin Chen, the reward for this level is a high-grade Jinyuan Pill.
This pill can increase the success rate of Jindan by 50%!
It is no exaggeration to say that with this Jinyuan Pill, it is equivalent to having one more Jindan cultivator...
Lin Chen silently put the Jinyuan Pill into his pocket, but looked around vigilantly.
Because the assessment is still not over!
He stood there and waited quietly, and the exit passage slowly closed.
"The third level assessment, the eleventh round, the goal: to defeat a puppet in the early stage of Jindan!"
As the cold voice fell.
The puppets that Lin Chen had smashed before actually began to move on their own...
About ten puppets that had completed their foundation building kept moving, and finally joined together to form a giant puppet!
This giant puppet was a foot tall.
It was made of black, solid metal.
But from the outside, it was much scarier than the previous puppets that had completed their foundation building...
Lin Chen took a deep breath, looked at the behemoth in front of him, and smiled:
"It's getting interesting...a puppet with Jindan strength?"
The moment the puppet was joined together, it rushed towards Lin Chen violently.
It was like a huge iron man, and even the ground was shaking when he ran...
Boom!
The giant puppet punched out and hit Lin Chen's body-protecting true essence.
The power of this punch was probably no less than hundreds of thousands of pounds...
As this punch was thrown, tiny cracks began to appear on Lin Chen's body-protecting true essence.
His current body-protecting true essence could not withstand the full force of the Jindan stage...
"Well, the power is not bad... Unfortunately, the speed is a bit slow!"
Lin Chen's mind flashed quickly.
He held the demon-slaying sword and chopped towards the puppet's thigh.
Boom!
But there was a dull collision sound, and the demon-slaying sword in Lin Chen's hand was directly bounced away.
The huge force even made Lin Chen unable to stand steadily, and he staggered back half a step.
He looked at the puppet's body.
The illusory shield covered its entire body, protecting it 360 degrees without dead angles.
There are mysterious patterns engraved on the illusory shield...
"Is there a protective formation engraved on this puppet?"
Lin Chen frowned, feeling a little solemn.
If it is a puppet relying on brute force, even if it has the speed and strength comparable to that of a Jindan cultivator, it is not to be feared.
But with the addition of this formation shield, the threat level is greatly increased.
Boom boom boom!
The giant puppet smashed towards Lin Chen fiercely. Although it did not hit him, it also left several large pits on the ground.
"This puppet, I am afraid that even a real Jindan cultivator would have a hard fight..."
Lin Chen held his breath and concentrated, snorting coldly:
"But this alone can't stop me! I want to see how much power your formation can block!"
"Vibrate the sword!"
