Rise of the Invincible Upgrade System-Chapter 172: Left Swordsman, Green Peak
At the same time.
The Thunder Dragon’s million meter body rapidly shrank as if entering a spaceship, in the blink of an eye, it was only ten meters long. Although it was still a Dragon, with its body shrinking, its defense would inevitably plummet.
"Hmm? This..." Qin Mu exclaimed in surprise.
"Don’t be nervous, this is a trial restriction!" Ao Mengmeng explained. "No matter what special creature form the Universe, when challenging Sword Mountain, their body can only be a maximum of 10 meters."
Damm!
What a move for Universal Equality!
Qin Mu composed himself and looked up.
The end of the stone steps seemed to be a thousands meters away, and beyond that, it was still obscured by clouds and mist.
With a flick of its tail, the Thunder Dragon arrived at the end, where a broken sword monument stood on the left.
Sword Mountain, First Trial.
Ao Mengmeng had seen countless trials and immediately said, "The first trial isn’t difficult. The simulated Cultivation is that of a Peak Galaxy Martial Artist, with Fusion Domain at Perfection."
"But... you can’t be too careless, because the Martial Artists of Sword Mountain all use Heavenly Sword Sect Cultivation Techniques!"
This was a reminder, and also a display of pride.
Heavenly Sword Sect Cultivation Techniques were inherently incomparable to those of ordinary forces.
Qin Mu arrived at the trial ground. What met his eyes was a fighting stage carved straight into the mountainside.
In the center.
A man with an elegant figure, splendid robes, and a stern face stood with his eyes closed.
He stood with his arms crossed in front of him, holding an ancient longsword in his left hand—a truly longsword, not a Flying Sword, nor a sword casket.
The instant the Thunder Dragon appeared.
The Cultivator’s eyes suddenly opened, and a sword light flickered within them.
"Oh~?"
"A trial that hasn’t been opened for millions of years, and the first challenger after its restart is actually a Cosmic True Dragon?"
Hiss... It can talk? Didn’t they say it was a simulated Cultivator? So impressive, the smart system is sufficient for communication?
Then... with Stingy Dragon’s identity, couldn’t it just cheat?
"Mengmeng, go!"
Qin Mu immediately sent the Dragon out.
"Left Sword Envoy, Green Peak!"
Ao Mengmeng’s eyes flickered with an inexplicable emotion upon seeing the familiar figure, and she immediately revealed herself and shouted.
Hiss...
Green Peak saw Ao Mengmeng and his pupils immediately constricted in fear. He immediately put down his sword, using it to support himself, and knelt on one knee.
"Secret Realm Left Sword Envoy, Green Peak!"
"Greetings, Divine Dragon Lord!"
Ha.
Although Ao Mengmeng, this little fellow, loved to boast, she was quite reliable when it came to her identity; she hadn’t exaggerated.
"The Heavenly Sword Sect has suffered a great calamity, is the Secret Realm’s core still intact?"
"Reporting, Lord!"
Green Peak looked up and said solemnly, "The Secret Realm’s core was shaken by the enemy, but the source was not directly aimed at the Secret Realm, but at the Sect. This subordinate tried his best to maintain it, but was powerless..."
Ao Mengmeng already knew all this, and her brows furrowed, "Since the core is shaken, are there any deficiencies in the rules? Can this princess bring the Legacy holder up the mountain?"
"No!"
Green Peak shook his head firmly, "This subordinate’s duty dictates that unless the trial ends, anyone must successfully pass the trial to ascend the mountain!"
Ao Mengmeng was helpless regarding this point.
"The rules set by Daylight back then were precisely like this..."
Damn!
Still have to pass the trial?
Qin Mu cursed inwardly, then said, "Then, letting up a bit would be good, right?"
Ao Mengmeng was speechless.
Green Peak even cast a surprised glance, "Divine Dragon Lord, is this the Legacy holder?"
Ao Mengmeng nodded.
"If that is the case, then this subordinate will naturally do his utmost to guard the pass!" Green Peak’s Aura changed, his eyes sharp and filled with Killing Intent.
What the hell!
Not only are you not letting up, but you’re also increasing the difficulty?
Qin Mu now really wanted to hit Stingy Dragon with a stick. You might as well not have come out to show off.
Ao Mengmeng, even more exasperated, rubbed her Dragon horns.
"The Heavenly Sword Sect is extremely strict with its Disciples. You are the Legacy holder, bearing the heavy responsibility of the School. If you don’t have genuine combat power, you will only ruin the hope of this School."
"Being strict with you is a form of tempering, and even more so, it is to enhance your combat power!" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
"Heavenly Sword Sect has countless sword techniques and numerous Cultivation Techniques. Green Peak, as the sword spirit of the Left Sword Master, can use all Heavenly Sword Sect Cultivation Techniques within the rules."
"Even if you don’t learn those Cultivation Techniques, you can still learn a lot during combat. If you can win, it means your combat power is excellent and without weaknesses, enough to cope with any situation in the Universe!"
The Universe is boundless, and races are countless.
A Martial Artist cannot learn all the Cultivation Techniques of all races; they don’t even have time to understand them.
The only way to create a Disciple who can traverse the Universe is to let the Disciple use their own methods to learn how to deal with the myriad Domains, Laws, and attack methods.
"Except for those extremely special races in the Universe, as long as you clear Sword Mountain, you won’t have an absolute disadvantage against ninety-nine percent of the other races!"
Ao Mengmeng added.
"What a waste of expression!"
It wasn’t that Qin Mu didn’t want to learn combat experience, but that timing was wrong now.
Clearing the trial as quickly as possible, taking the core, and completely controlling the Secret Realm was the correct choice.
The Heavenly Sword Sect’s previous methods, or the Secret Realm’s rules, were certainly correct when cultivating orthodox Disciples.
But now, they seemed rigid.
