Chapter 438 Dumbass

Su Li glanced at Black Lotus, flipped her hand, and took out the matrix plate of the Tactical Matrix for Camouflage. And then it included Su Li and the Cave of Cang Lei which was breeding its physical body.

Black Lotus looked stunned and couldn’t help but ask, “Things are done here. Aren’t we leaving?”

A light flickered in Su Li’s eyes. She was silent for a moment and spoke softly but in an incontrovertible tone, “Take out the fragment that I let you collect before.”

“... What are you going to do?”

Black Lotus asked with bewilderment as he took the fragment out of the Black Lotus Ring. Su Li grabbed it immediately and press it on the edge of the Reincarnation Mirror.

Although the beast-shaped mirror spirit was surprised and suspicious, he couldn’t resist the temptation of the fragment. he drove the Reincarnation Mirror to absorb the whole fragment immediately. In the blink of an eye, the Reincarnation Mirror Ring became more massive than before.

At that moment, Black Lotus looked at the dark Reincarnation Mirror Ring and said, “The fragment you asked me to put away is a piece of this thing? What kind of treasure is this broken iron ring? You have been carrying it with you all the time. But you never tell me about it.”

“It’s a dumbass.”

Black Lotus got even more confused after he heard Su Li’s answer.

Dumbass?

“I might have heard it before.”

Black Lotus struggled to remember. But he was awakened by a unique pneuma before he figured it out.

He rose his head up to see the place in front of Su Li. There stood a starlight door that was outlined unnoticedly.

“Star Gate?!”

Black Lotus exclaimed in horror, “Su Li, are you going to fight in the Star Path? How long has it been since you broke into the Star Path last time? Your foundation is insufficient to make a second try. Don’t be reckless. Otherwise, no one can save you!”

Su Li looked at the Star Gate calmly, “Although I am anxious, but not anxious to die. It’s different from before... You stay outside and keep an eye on the Cave of Cang Lei and that stupid dumbass. I’ll be back soon.”

After speaking that, Su Li didn’t wait Black Lotus to continue to persuade her. She took off the Reincarnation Mirror Ring, summoned the Nightmare, and put it aside. And then she stepped into the Star Gate.

As for the Black Lotus Ring, it was directly pushed out by the Star Gate and floated in the core of the tea plant. The Universe Ring and the Heavy Soul Robe were pushed out as well.

Black Lotus was separated from Su Li for the first time and he felt quite uncomfortable. But when he sensed the existence of the subtle connection between him and Su Li, he felt a little relieved, but his mind was still in a mass.

In the second round to go through the Star Path, the force of the Star Gate would be increased quite a lot and no treasure could be brought in. So, they had to break away from their master for the moment.

Black Lotus never mentioned this to Su Li. Where did she get that?

“Something unusual must happen to this girl during the days she lost her breath. But why doesn’t she tell me...?”

Black Lotus got a headache while thinking of this. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a silver light flashing on the Reincarnation Mirror Ring. There was an ancient pattern on the light but it flashed away instantly.

Seeing the pattern that symbolized the ages, Black Lotus remembered a lot of things in a moment. He rolled his eyes.

“Dumbass, you son of bitch!”

“...”

Behind the Star Gate, the familiar solitary sky and stone steps reappeared in Su Li’s eyes. Su Li in white stood silently on the ancient stone platform with her eyes closed.

She had heard quite a few about the second round to go through the Star Path, so she was not unprepared.

A path was created by an ancestor and explored by posterity.

Except for the first time of going through the Star Path to establish the foundation, from the second time on, practitioners of this school will experience the tests left by ancestors.

It was not inheritance, but better!

Cultivation was by no means just practicing behind a closed door. Since ancient times, sects had been always stronger than individual practitioner. It’s not because of a large number of people, but communication. One could go further in the path of cultivation by communicating with others.

The tests left by ancestors varied from moderate and peaceful tests to radical and cold-blooded ones. Therefore, every time when the Star Path was opened, it was a gamble for the disciples who would go through it... and the price was their life!

Su Li narrowed her eyes and walked to the first step. As soon as her second foot fell on it, her expression changed, and her body extremely twisted to the side.

A purple light swept past Su Li’s neck without any warning. Then it disappeared into the starry sky after a flash.

Su Li felt chill in her heart and wiped on her neck. She unfolded her palm and found there was blood.

“The senior who left the test was bad-tempered.”

While talking to herself, Su Li drove her pneuma and blood to the wound and the blood mark on her neck disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, matrix patterns emerged in her hand, and a ninth-grade tactical matrix for protection was formed instantly. And it turned into three golden shields around Su Li to protect her.

But suddenly, three purple lights shot and shattered the three golden shields easily. Then the three purple lights passed through Su Li’s cheek and disappeared in the nothingness.

A strand of hair was chopped off and floated down.

Su Li’s pupils suddenly shrank. She stared at the hair, which suddenly twisted into a line of words.

“Use the sword or die!”

Only the sword was allowed.

Su Li understood, and sharp light flickered in her eyes. She formed a sword with her fingers and forcibly cut to the purple light that appeared for the third time.

Just a collision, the flesh and blood of Su Li’s fingers was instantly eliminated by the purple light, just leaving the white bones.

But the two white bones were closed together, shone with a cold light, and slashed down like a sword!

“The first move of Cuixing Method, collapse!”

Su Li shouted and set a blood-colored arc sword pneuma from the fingers. It smashed the purple light easily. The purple light dissipated and showed its real look... It was a piece of purple rotten cloth.

Su Li was slightly stunned. She picked up the piece of cloth that had lost its aggressiveness and checked carefully. With a little force, the piece of cloth rotted into pieces.

She did not expect that the purple light was defeated so easily and that the real body of the purple light was a piece of cloth. She thought that it might be a small sword or a dagger...

“How could a piece of ordinary cloth bear the sharp purple light?”

Su Li was confused.

If the strength of Yuanying Realm was used, common flying swords of Spirit Equipment would be destroyed after several times, only the Treasure Equipment could be used normally. And the strength stored on this piece of cloth exceeded that of Yuanying Realm...

“It was a sharp and strange strength, not like the force of genuine energy.”

Su Li could only remember the feeling. She looked at the two fingers that almost recovered and the second stone step that emerged just now. After thinking for a moment, she took the second step.

The moment Su Li’s feet fell on it, the scene in front of her changed into a spacious high platform.

On the other side of the high platform stood a middle-aged man with a sword, whose face could not be seen clearly. While there was a weapon rack behind him and there were no weapons except for various swords.

Su Li measured for a moment. She did not find the middle-aged man moved his lips, but there came a low and deep voice as the nothingness fluctuated.

“Since you have taken the second step, it means that you are a sword practitioner. If you pass my test, you will inherit my swordsmanship!”

Su Li pursed her lips and asked gently, “If I am not a sword user, what will happen to me?”

“Without a swordsmanship, you can’t take the second step!”

This implied that if one didn’t have a swordsmanship, one would be killed. And one just had to admit it’s a bad luck to encounter him.

Su Li understood the meaning and said no more words. She turned around and took a three-feet-long sword. And then she stood before the middle-aged man distantly. She asked in a cold tone, “What’s your test?”

“It’s simple. Just need to defeat me!”

Before he finished his words, the middle-aged man flashed and disappeared in his original place. He stabbed at Su Li’s face with his sword in the next instant.

A bright light flickered in Su Li’s eyes, and she flashed as well. Su Li defended in the frontal attack with the sword. Their sword tips collided directly!

Ding Ding!!!

The collision of the swords sounded clear and crisp, like a dragon’s roar.

Boom!

The middle-aged man flew away the high platform like a cannonball and fell into the starry sky in the nothingness.

Less than the time of taking a breath, Su Li won.

But she stood on the high platform with an unpleasant expression.

“It’s that strange power, not only sharp...”

Su Li stared at her sword-wielding right hand, which was turned into white bones again. As her blood was dripping, the flesh generated slowly.

Just now, she felt clearly that a fragment of her consciousness was empty.

“If it wasn’t because the strength of my physical body exceeded his limit and he was blown away directly, I would probably have died.”

Su Li became slightly worried. Seeing the third step coagulated slowly, she showed a rare-seen serious look.

A moment later, the stone step beneath her feet remained unmoved, which meant no gift from the Star Path this time. She stepped on the third step with a decisive look.

Whoosh!

The scene changed dramatically again.

There was a same high platform, a same weapon rack, and a same silent middle-aged man with a sword.

Su Li took a sword and looked coldly at the man opposite. After a short silence in the nothingness, a voice came again. But there was a hint of appreciation mixed in his tone this time.

“Your physical strength has exceeded the limit of Zhuji Realm, so you are qualified to inherit my legacy. However, you should not use the sword with brute force. Your sword skill is too rough. The swordsmanship of pneuma and blood school in your hands is just like a pearl covered by dust!”

“There are eighteen steps in the Star Path. If you can reach the end and comprehend a little bit of my sword, I will pass on my genuine skills to you!”

Su Li was calm and waited until his voice in the nothingness stopped. She swung her sword obliquely and said coldly, “Draw your sword.”

“Excellent state of mind, haha...”

Along with the laughter, the middle-aged man fought against Su Li again. Su Li dodged calmly and chopped at his head with her sword in the next move.

The middle-aged man leaned his head slightly, turned around, and changed his move. He was so fast that all these moves happened almost at the same time.

He stabbed with his ordinary long sword quickly. Su Li finally saw that this time. The long sword was covered with a faint golden luster.

“It’s that sharp power...”

Su Li changed her look. Instead of using the force of her physical body alone, she began to employ Suiyu Tactics, and her sword was covered with a faint cyan luster as well.

Ding!

Their weapons clashed. The collision of the cyan light and the golden one ended with fierce sparks. Then their swords were broken into iron filings in the air and disappeared.

Once again, Su Li’s awareness became blank, as if she were frightened by an invisible majesty. And she was even unable to think.

An intense sense of crisis brought her back to her consciousness in a few seconds. However, it was still too late. A sword-like purple elbow enlarged in her eyes rapidly.

“Piss off.”

Su Li shouted sternly. An extreme shadowy light filled her pupils. The nothingness fluctuated and the unstoppable purple sword blade really slowed down. Su Li took the advantage of this period and deflected her head to avoid the injuries of her vital parts. She stepped back quickly.

“Pfft!”

After the purple light slashed, Su Li stopped. She took a look at the huge wound across most of her upper body. In silence, she looked pale and gloomy.
