”Han Ruxue.”
the woman said.
”Yes.”
Su Ling nodded and said, ”After coming to the sixth floor for so long, I wonder what you are going to test?”
”Buzz!”
At this moment, a trembling sound could be heard, and a deep voice could be heard saying: ”The sixth floor's assessment of temperament.”
In an instant, a bamboo forest appeared in Su Ling's line of sight.
”Hmm? This bamboo forest is the Heart Kill Bamboo Forest! ”
Han Ruxue was instantly shocked as her brows tightly knitted together.
”This Heart Punishing Bamboo Forest is only an illusion, but its power far surpasses the one in reality. As long as you can walk a hundred steps in the bamboo forest, you will pass the test and reach the seventh floor. ”
The deep voice said once again.
”It's that simple?”
Su Ling was surprised.
But at this time, he heard Han Ruxue explain, ”There are many chaotic situations in the Heart Punishing Bamboo Forest that can easily bewitch a martial practitioner's personality. Therefore, the bamboo forest was mainly about testing a practitioner's mental fortitude. If your mental strength was firm enough, a hundred steps wouldn't be too difficult. However, if your heart is shaken, you probably won't even be able to take ten steps out. ”
”So it was like that.”
Su Ling nodded his head thoughtfully. Soon after, he smiled and said, ”I have long since steeled my heart on the path of martial arts. Since this Heart Punishing Bamboo Forest is able to test my character, I will try my luck.”
Soon after, Su Ling glanced at Han Ruxue and walked towards the Heartbreak Bamboo Forest.
”Su Ling …”
Seeing Su Ling enter the Heart Punishing Bamboo Forest without even blinking, Han Ruxue was momentarily stunned. She wanted to remind Su Ling of the profoundness of the Heart Punishing Bamboo Forest, but Su Ling had already entered into the bamboo forest illusion and disappeared from her sight.
After entering the Heart Punishing Bamboo Forest, Su Ling walked along a small path. The path was paved with limestone, just large enough for a person to walk on. Around him grew bamboo that was as thick as a person's wrist, and from time to time, tender green leaves would fall to the ground.
”The illusion of the Heart Punishing Bamboo Forest is too realistic!”
A second ago, he was still at the sixth level of the Profound Heaven Tower. But now, he had arrived at a bamboo forest, and this bamboo forest was practically real. He even extended his hand to receive a bamboo leaf.
Walking along the narrow path, before long, Su Ling had walked 50 steps. According to the deep voice, as long as Su Ling could walk 100 steps, he would pass the test on the sixth floor. Thinking of this, Su Ling could not help but smile. He originally thought that the sixth floor's exam would be very difficult, but it seems like it was not.
But! At this moment, just as Su Ling took his 51st step, the surrounding bamboo groves which were as thick as a person's wrist began to shake violently. The bamboo shafts shook crazily and green leaves began to fall off the bamboo sticks.
”Zzzz!”
A bamboo leaf landed on Su Ling's arm. That willow leaf was like a sharp knife as it instantly cut through Su Ling's arm, leaving behind a clear and visible bloody wound. Tiny amounts of blood flowed out from the wound.
