Chapter 195: Chapter 8: Little Celestial Pride! Showing Off_2
Don’t be fooled by how easily she passed the first trial. One-on-one and one-on-two are completely different concepts.
Wang Luqiu reluctantly complied with Wang Shouzhe’s request.
She sat cross-legged and gradually started to recover her Profound Qi. In less than two quarters of an hour, she stood up. Artifact Spirit, I want to start the second trial.
"As you wish, Militia Wang Luqiu."
As soon as the words fell, after a spatial fluctuation, two Demon Puppets appeared simultaneously.
Soon after, the sound of clashing filled the air as they began to fight.
As expected, those two Demon Puppets coordinated extremely well, giving even Wang Luqiu a hard time, forcing her to abandon her strategy of frontal assault.
She began to move around consistently, engaging in a war of attrition.
Don’t be deceived by Wang Luqiu’s appearance; she’s actually quite clever in combat and never sticks to one pattern.
But even so, the battle grew increasingly challenging. There truly is a significant difference between one-on-one and facing two opponents.
Moreover, the demon claws were exceptionally sharp, leaving a wound with the slightest touch. Gradually, Wang Luqiu began to struggle, continually falling into a disadvantageous position.
Only then did everyone understand.
Why even with Ancestor Longyan’s talent, she had to risk her life to pass the second trial back then.
Moreover, Ancestor Longyan was already at the Peak of the Qi Refining Realm back then!
And Wang Luqiu is only at the mid-stage of the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Realm now.
She had already performed excellently, and once she reaches the Peak of the Qi Refining Realm, she should be able to defeat these two Demon Puppets more easily.
But at that moment.
Wang Luqiu let out a furious roar, "I, Wang Luqiu, will not be defeated by merely two pieces of cannon fodder!"
A hint of red light flashed in her eyes, and her entire aura changed in an instant.
No longer dodging.
She activated her War Body and returned to her frontal assault mode of combat.
Each move was filled with tremendous explosiveness, and she began trading blows with the Demon Puppets, wound for wound.
"Luqiu, there are more opportunities later; don’t do this,"
The peers called out anxiously.
"I, Wang Luqiu, will dominate this world." With a loud roar, she ignored the claws piercing her abdomen, explosively smashing the head of one Demon Puppet. The remaining Demon Puppet barely withstood five moves before being torn to pieces by her.
"Crack!"
Wang Luqiu stomped on the head of the Demon Puppet, her eyes filled with an aura of conquest.
"Militia Wang Luqiu, congratulations on passing the second trial. Here is your reward, [Basic Bloodline Improvement Liquid], and an Elite Militia Token. Do you wish to start the third trial?"
Wang Luqiu reached out to take the reward, her eyes brimming with raging blood and an intense desire to battle.
"Artifact Spirit, prepare..."
Before she could finish speaking, Wang Shouzhe rushed up: "Artifact Spirit, she is injured and needs rest."
"Wang Shouzhe, let go of me."
"Wang Luqiu, shut up." Wang Shouzhe glared, forcibly pulling her off the stage.
Seeing her Fourth Brother truly angry, Wang Luqiu did not dare to oppose him and relented.
She knew her Fourth Brother’s temper; usually, he was playful and light-hearted.
But once he got serious, Wang Luqiu shivered from the bottom of her heart.
This girl’s injuries were already severe, with more than a dozen wounds on her body, not to mention the claw mark on her abdomen, which was quite deadly, injuring her abdominal cavity. Continuing to push herself could be life-threatening.
He moved her to a secluded place, and Wang Shouzhe channeled Profound Qi to heal her.
In a short while, he managed to stabilize her injuries.
Some non-lethal wounds also healed one by one. Only the fatal abdominal wound would take several days to fully recover.
It was thanks to Wang Shouzhe’s strong Milk Power; otherwise, even with Healing Medicine, she would have to be bedridden for at least a month.
"Wang Luqiu, your trial ends here for now. Once your injuries heal, take the Basic Bloodline Improvement Liquid," Wang Shouzhe said. Although the name is basic, the item is genuinely valuable.
At the same time, Wang Shouzhe examined the so-called [Basic Bloodline Improvement Liquid]. It was liquid in form, its fragrance pleasing, very different from the scent of Stone Marrow.
He breathed a sigh of relief, believing this treasure had no relation to Stone Marrow, thus no issue of resistance to the medicine.
Wang Lici, Wang Luqiu, and Wang Luojing had all consumed large amounts of Stone Marrow. If this substance were refined from Stone Marrow, its effects would be significantly reduced or even null.
Wang Shouzhe himself had taken the Bone Marrow Purify Pill, with Stone Marrow as the main ingredient, facing the same problem.
This was one of his main concerns. After all, Wang Shouzhe had spent 250,000 coins on a Bone Marrow Purify Pill.
After consuming it, his talent had indeed improved vastly.
But it only reached the appearance of Middle Grade A, similar to Wang Luqiu and Wang Luojing, without a second Bloodline Awakening.
If the reward was another Bone Marrow Purify Pill, it would be challenging for him to break through to Upper Grade Bloodline Talent and achieve Second Layer Bloodline Awakening.
While Wang Shouzhe pondered.
"Fourth Brother, you should use this Basic Bloodline Improvement Liquid first," Wang Luqiu said nonchalantly.
Wang Shouzhe was taken aback, quickly shaking his head, "No, this is your hard-earned reward from risking your life; Fourth Brother can’t covet your treasure." It’s the family’s greatest taboo to seize another’s resources, which can lead to divisiveness.
"Fourth Brother, are you stupid?" Wang Luqiu rolled her eyes, "If your bloodline talent were a bit stronger, you’d easily pass the second trial. Then, take the reward and return it to me, wouldn’t that be the solution?"
