Chapter 193: Chapter 7: Great Opportunity! The Legacy of Ancestor Wang_3
With her brother-in-law’s failure, Wang Shouzhe’s expression also became solemn.
This demon puppet’s combat power is even stronger than he imagined.
Indeed, as Ancestor Longyan said, it’s almost as strong as some Spirit Platform Seeds at their peak.
Even all the ancestors exchanged glances, realizing the trial’s difficulty was greater than expected.
Only Wang Luqiu’s eyes shone brightly, as if she had encountered a favored opponent, somewhat invigorated.
"Fang Jie," Ancestor Ruhong said, "Even if you’ve reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, you must hone your Black Tortoise Combat Technique well to have a chance at winning."
"Yes, Ancestor." Chen Fangjie, greatly embarrassed, resolved to dedicate himself to improving his Black Tortoise Combat Technique.
Next was Wang Shounuo, who, at twenty-eight years old, had worked hard for the family’s benefit over the years and received many advantages, reaching the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Realm through diligent cultivation.
Of course, he went up merely to observe the atmosphere, unable to withstand even the puppet’s fourth move.
Subsequently, Wang Luotong, Wang Shou Lian, Wang Shouyong, Gongsun Yan, and Lua Xiaoxiao all tried as well, similarly just experiencing the atmosphere.
Only Lua Xiaoxiao stood out a bit; she used a small Five Elements Array Disc to hold off the demon puppet for twenty to thirty moves. After all, at just nineteen years old, she had awakened the Li Fire Bloodline once and reached the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Realm, which was quite commendable.
Older sister Wang Luoyi, though also having benefited from many of the Chen Family’s resources and reaching the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Realm, was ultimately just an empty framework. Wang Shouzhe decided not to let her participate, planning to buy a Celestial Spirit Pill later, as the Chen Family was currently quite affluent.
Following that was Liua Ruolei, who had awakened the Primordial Water Bloodline once, with talent likely akin to Ancestor Xuanfu’s in her youth. Now at twenty-two, she was no longer the little girl she once was.
Having been in the Purple Mansion Academy for four years, her cultivation was in the middle of the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, evidently a focus of Ancestor Xuanfu’s training.
Remarkably, she went up and fought the demon puppet evenly.
Unfortunately, after one incense stick of time, she was carelessly ambushed by the demon puppet and lost the battle, prompting Ancestor Xuanfu to pull her aside and reprimand her. Clearly, with more combat experience, she could have won.
A dejected Liua Ruolei was gently reassured by Liua Ruolan, who said, "It’s okay, it’s normal for young girls to lose, you can try again next time."
This statement caused Ancestor Xuanfu’s eyebrow to twitch, wondering what kind of Enchanting Soup had been fed to this child with such an Innate Dao Embryo, resulting in this state, and if there was any hope for rescue.
Wang Shouzhe felt speechless. Was it his fault even when he didn’t speak?
"Hmph," Wang Luqiu slowly stepped forward, "Quite interesting, worthy of being a stepping stone on my Emperor Road."
This girl, already nineteen, still brimming with energy, with an unchanged heart for the Emperor Road.
As Wang Luqiu entered the stage, Wang Shouzhe immediately grew serious.
Previously, it was normal for them not to win, but for sister Luqiu, he held high expectations. Even Wang Shouzhe couldn’t gauge her actual combat power now.
"Luqiu, go for it!" Even Liua Ruolan smiled to cheer her on.
"Don’t worry, Fourth Sister-in-law, they’re just minor cannon fodder." Wang Luqiu, clad in a goose-yellow Black Tortoise Martial Attire, calmly stepped onto the trial ground, "I, Wang Luqiu, request to proceed directly to the second stage."
