Finally made it!

In a courtyard, Zhou Chun, drenched in sweat, wiped the perspiration from his face with his sleeve, his eyes filled with emotion.

The experience of going through “Fire Dragon Alley” had truly been extraordinarily perilous.

By the time his palms had touched the white light barrier, the protective shield around his body had almost been completely burned away.

If he had been even two breaths slower, he would have either died or been severely injured.

This also made him realize that if one were to evaluate a cultivator’s strength solely based on personal prowess, he was still far behind the truly strong Qi Refinement Realm cultivators.

Because among those cultivators who had chosen to take the trial alone in the past, some had even managed to get through the third stage on their own!

Back when the Heavenly Spirit Sect was still around, only those who managed to pass the third stage alone were considered elite disciples they wanted to select.

“However, having passed the first stage, I’ve already surpassed many others, and there are plenty who can’t even get through the first stage!”

“Besides, a Spirit Pet is also part of a cultivator’s strength; nobody can deny that, so why should I belittle myself!”

Zhou Chun smiled and quickly regained his composure.

Then he performed a spell with hand seals and summoned vapor to turn into water, washing over his body before he changed into a clean set of clothes.

After completing these tasks, he began to survey the small courtyard.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

The courtyard was not large, about thirty feet in length and width, and it was empty, not even a common weed in sight.

In the center of the courtyard was a stone well, swirling with white light within it.

There was also a doorway cut into another wall, with the same circulating white light inside it.

This represented two different choices.

Choosing to jump into the stone well meant proceeding to the next single trial stage.

Choosing to enter the doorway would lead to a rest area, where one could wait for the multi-person Trial Grounds to open or simply wait until the trial period ended to leave.

Zhou Chun naturally did not hesitate and headed straight for the stone well.

He hadn’t exerted his full strength yet, so of course, he wanted to see his limits.

With a leap into the stone well, the world spun around, and when Zhou Chun reappeared, he found himself in a wider and longer stone alley.

The alley was thirty feet wide and a hundred and fifty feet long, with walls on both sides rising thirty feet high.

On the upper portions of both walls, there were three statues of different forms.

They were the guardians of this stage.

“Six Harmonies Alley” was the name of this stage, and the rules were similar to the previous “Fire Dragon Alley”—by passing through the stone alley under the continuous attack of the six statues, one would be considered to have passed the stage.

Zhou Chun had already confirmed his personal strength in the previous stage, so there was no need to hold himself back in this one.

Moreover, the terrain of this stage was quite suitable for the Rock Earth Turtle to stretch out his limbs.

Thus, after bolstering his own defenses, he released the Rock Earth Turtle.

Once the Rock Earth Turtle had also reinforced itself with several defensive spells, at Zhou Chun’s command, it took the lead in pushing forward.

Almost as soon as the Rock Earth Turtle crossed the starting line, the closest statue on the left, holding a sword, swung down its Pure Gold greatsword, directly cleaving out a seven or eight-foot-long golden sword aura towards the Rock Earth Turtle.

Faced with such an attack, the Rock Earth Turtle decisively cast the “Earth Wall Technique” in front of itself and retracted its head into its shell.

Boom!

The sturdy earth wall was easily pierced and destroyed by the golden sword aura, then the aura slashed through the Rock Earth Turtle’s back, leaving a number of inches deep mark on its shell.

But compared to the Rock Earth Turtle’s now one-foot-thick shell, this was hardly damage, merely a scratch.

Therefore, after taking this hit, the Rock Earth Turtle stuck its head out and continued to stride forward.

Though it was a turtle Demon Beast, which is known for being slow, the large size of the Rock Earth Turtle meant that when it sprinted, it wasn’t slow at all.

Soon, it had covered a distance of twenty feet and faced the second attack.

This time, a toad statue was the one attacking. Its mouth surged with blue light, and it quickly spat out a blue ice ray, freezing the Rock Earth Turtle in place.

At the same time, a stone statue opposite the toad suddenly moved its arm, rapidly condensing a huge rock the size of a carriage that came crashing down on the Rock Earth Turtle.

This time Zhou Chun couldn’t just stand by; he quickly summoned the “Moon Blade Meteor Wheel” to slash at the giant rock, while also releasing a “Fire Serpent Talisman” to help the Rock Earth Turtle melt the ice encasing it.

In the following course of the trial, it was only with the combined strength of Zhou Chun and the Rock Earth Turtle that they were finally able to successfully get through the “Six Harmonies Alley.”

Unlike the previous “Fire Dragon Alley,” after successfully completing “Six Harmonies Alley,” there was no need to go back through the courtyard. Directly ahead was the teleportation light screen leading to the third stage.

The third stage was no longer a simple alley but had become a combat platform fifty feet in width and length, named “Combat Platform.”

Guarding the platform was a Puppet Mechanism Man.

According to an explanation on the Stele next to the platform, this Puppet Mechanism Man could instantly cast thirty-six different first-grade superior spells and was equipped with a Protective Barrier equivalent to a second-grade inferior spell.

The challenger needed to break its Protective Barrier before being defeated by it.

This was essentially the same as asking Qi Refinement Realm cultivators to battle against an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator who didn’t have a second-grade Magic Artifact!

Zhou Chun understood the difficulty of this stage as he read through the introduction.

But when the actual fight began, he realized it was even more challenging than he anticipated.

Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage could also instantly cast first-grade superior spells, but they could only instant-cast a few kinds of those spells with which they had become extremely proficient.
