Chapter 258 - The Shadow of Death Lingering in His Mind (1/2)

Edited by Lord Immortal

The statue was shattered as a snake-head man with four arms suddenly came alive.

Lin Xun’s pupils of eyes constricted as he became vigilant.

Buzz~

With a strange buzz, suddenly, a simple saber appeared in Lin Xun’s hands.

At this moment, the creature had flown to the platform and locked on Lin Xun with a pair of scarlet eyes.

His four stout rocky arms also grabbed a long saber. It was 3.3 meters long with a peculiar shape and frightening red light. He stood there at will but gave out a terrible bloodthirsty momentum.

“The first battle, against the strongmen of snake spirits.”

The ice-cold voice suddenly sounded in the space.

Bang!

Before the voice finished speaking, the snake spirit burst out a loud roar, and the blood saber in his palm dashed out.

Suddenly, the weather changed. An indescribable feeling of terror hung over Lin Xun, making him almost see the falling comets that had the power to destroy the whole world.

The scene was horrible but familiar.

Wasn’t it Reaching for the Stars?

Just as this idea had flashed in Lin’s mind, he felt a sharp pain all over his body. His soul felt like being torn, and his body felt like being split into pieces. Lin Xun was unable to respond to all this. His eyes darkened as he instantly lost consciousness.

Time flew unconsciously. When Lin Xun woke up, he found himself still standing on the platform, surrounded by the strange statues as if nothing had happened.

But when Lin Xun’s eyes fell on the statue of the snake-head and four-arm creature, his face turned pale in an instant.

In his mind, the battle scenes emerged clearly like a tide. It was just like a nightmare, branded on his heart.

That cut!

It was horrifying.

The more he thought about it, the colder Lin Xun felt. When the saber fell, for the first time in his life, he had felt that death was so near. That feeling was so strong and awful that it would be hard to describe without personal experience.

That was RFS! Even worse, that snake spirit adopted RFS twice as powerful as Lin Xun had.

Lin Xun was shocked in his heart. He lost his first fight in an instant, and what defeated him was his most familiar skill.

This overwhelmed Lin Xun, especially at the moment he was “killed”. The sense of horror and sudden despair made Lin Xun realize, for the first time, what a real moment of death was.

It was horrible.

If it really happened in reality, how could he possibly revive?

Resurrection?!

Wait a minute!

Abruptly, Lin Xun recognized a problem. According to the rules, after every battle, he would have a quarter of an hour’s rest time.

In other words, the second fight would begin soon.

He must find out as soon as possible what this challenge tested. If all the statues on the stage were as strong as the snake spirits, he could hardly win them.

Lin Xun took a deep breath, tried hard to calm himself down, and began to think quickly. There were a hundred battle opportunities in the Secret Realm of Hundred Battles, so the test should be related to the fights-. Along with the cultivation, combat skills and battle experience might also be the key to the assessment.

Then, what was the test really for?

According to the fighting power displayed by the strong snake spirit, even if he had the strength to fight back, he could not keep up with it. So the test wouldn’t be for combat skills as the strength gap was too high. This was the first battle, and there were still ninety-nine battles remaining. No matter how high his fighting prowess was, it was nothing in front of such absolute strength.

In that case, the test should be for his saberplay.

That was it!

Reaching for the Stars!

Straight away, Lin Xun remembered that the snake spirit had started with his most familiar RFS. It was obviously abnormal.

Time passed quickly as Lin Xun thought through the details. Not long after, accompanied by a buzz, another sculpture suddenly fragmented, and a strange creature came to life.

This was a man of tall height. He was strong and slender with clear, handsome, and white facial features. His eyes were mysterious blue, and his body was filled with a wisp of black fog-like flame.

“The second battle: against the strong demons.”

When he heard the sound, Lin Xun had the saber in his hand again. This time, he was ready to fight with all his strength. His spirits were boiling like molten lava.

Kill!
