“Pluto Ice Thread Rain.”
The Power of Pluto Ice that Mu Lingxi had struck out turned into thousands of strands. Like rain falling from the sky, they tied up the saint projection, making its body stiff and its movements slow.
Whoos.h.!.+
A slender hand held the phoenix feathers and dragged out a long trail of cold light. She swept it across and cut the projection’s waist.
After accepting the invitation from the old man, Mu Lingxi immediately spread her wings and flew out of the platform to meet with Zhang Ruochen.
“See?” she said a bit proudly, lifting her snowy chin. “A mere saint projection isn’t my match.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded and smiled. “Indeed, not bad.”
“Where’s the Dark Fool?”
“He smashed the projection with one punch,” Zhang Ruochen said. “He went to the G.o.d-Naming Platform long ago.”
“One punch?”
Mu Lingxi was shocked.
Earlier, she’d fought with the saint projection, so she knew how strong it was. She couldn’t even imagine defeating it with one punch.
“How can there be so many shocking figures in Heaven World?” Mu Lingxi felt unconfident.
Zhang Ruochen chuckled. “If Heaven World didn’t have so many shocking figures, it probably would have been defeated by h.e.l.l World long ago. Plus, you’re already great. You don’t have to compare yourself to them. If you have to, I’ll do it for you.”
Mu Lingxi’s eyes twitched. “Oh, you’re a shocking figure too. How many strikes do you intend to defeat the projection with?”
“How many do you think I should use?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
“Um… Three?”
“Okay, three it is.”
Zhang Ruochen flashed and disappeared from the spot. He reappeared on the platform that Mu Lingxi had fought the projection on.
With his hands behind his back and a smile, he looked around. All of the cultivators that had been preparing to enter the platform were stunned.
“What’s going on? How did that human scholar get onto the platform?”
“Does he know an invisibility spell?”
“No, it might be spatial power. There must be a cultivator amongst us who’s skilled in the spatial way and can instantly send beings onto the platform.”
Zhang Ruochen gazed up and looked at the old man hovering in the air. “Should I challenge a saint projection?”
“You are at the pinnacle of the first step Saint King Realm. Your projection will be in the same realm.”
The old man flipped open his scroll and tapped his finger on a page. Then a speck of light flew out of the paper and landed on the platform.
Whoos.h.!.+
The speck of light transformed into a general at the pinnacle of the first step Saint King Realm. He held a spear and looked very powerful.
“Pinnacle of the first step?” Zhang Ruochen was a bit disappointed.
He’d thought that he had reached the second step already.
The old man was very advanced and probably wouldn’t misjudge.
I must continue working hard. Zhang Ruochen sighed inwardly.
The projection was made out of Holy Qi and Rules of Saintly Way. His spear was like a sharp dragon. It transformed into a beam of light and stabbed straight at Zhang Ruochen’s forehead.
“Even though it’s a projection, it’s still very strong. It’s like a second step Saint King.” Zhang Ruochen was surprised.
What was shocking was that the old man had just flipped through the saint spirit scroll and could create such a strong projection. This was even more powerful than turning beans into soldiers.
Holding that scroll was like holding countless Saint Kings. One could easily destroy an ancient sect.
He couldn’t think about it too closely. If he did, it was enough to give him gooseb.u.mps.
With step techniques, Zhang Ruochen let the projection take two hits.
When it was about to attack a third time, Zhang Ruochen took a step beforehand and condensed the Sword Way Xuangang. He pointed his sword forward and stabbed through the projection’s skull, winning easily.
After receiving the invitation, Zhang Ruochen put his hands together and bowed to the old man. Then he flew down the podium and landed beside Mu Lingxi.
Mu Lingxi bit her lips, asking, “You could defeat him in one move. Why did you have to use three?”
“Because you told me to use three.” Zhang Ruochen smiled.
She knew that Zhang Ruochen said this on purpose, but Mu Lingxi still felt warm inside. Shyness appeared on her face. Thankfully, she had a veil on and it covered her blush. “Oh, you. You’re getting better at capturing a girl’s heart.”
“Let’s go. We should hurry to the G.o.d-Naming Platform too. I heard there are many treasures there. We’ll get more if we go earlier.”
Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi charged through the gates. It was like going through a curtain of water. An ancient aura immediately hit their faces. It felt like crossing over the river of time, going from the present to the past.
There was a majestic divine mountain hovering before their eyes. It was pyramid-shaped. Compared to this, G.o.d-Gazing Mountain looked like it was just a small hill.
