There's Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 299:True · Breakthrough (Second update, please vote for the month)

In the endless darkness, Lu Xun stood there, seemingly waiting silently for something.

Through the posts he had seen in his previous life, and the enthusiastic and detailed introduction from Ye Sui’an, he knew very clearly that after entering the [Moon in the Well] checkpoint, there was about a minute of waiting time for each checkpoint, allowing you to adjust your emotions and state.

Although Lu Xun was extremely relaxed at this moment, most people were very nervous when they first entered.

Perhaps not long after entering, they would not be able to help but shudder, shivering involuntarily.

This kind of endless, chaotic darkness could easily rob a person of their sense of security.

Lu Xun, with a calm face, awaited the formal start of the trial. This scene fell into the “eyes” of Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi who were sensing everything, giving them a new evaluation of Lu Xun’s temperament.

This young man was too calm!

Yes, at this moment, Lu Xun was still in the mood to joke with his sword sheath, saying, “Sheath, if I pass the checkpoint later, I’ll set you on fire!”

The black cord on the sheath floated up, lightly patting the back of Lu Xun’s hand, as if saying, “Naughty guy~”

If you didn’t know, you might think he wasn’t here to break through the checkpoint, but to “play with fire”.

The minute passed quickly, and Lu Xun said in his heart, “It’s here.”

There were no sounds, no visuals, but Lu Xun knew that a sword was stabbing at him.

His body showed no intention to move, because this was all within the realm of human thought.

You can’t face the enemy with your body; you have to use your Sword Heart, or even your Sword Intent!

This is why two assessments were set up before entering the instance.

If you don’t even have a Sword Heart, the first sword of the first checkpoint will shatter all your foundations!

“According to Ye Sui’an’s introduction, there are 7 swords in the first checkpoint.”

“If you withstand 7 swords, you pass.”

Lu Xun thought to himself, but had other plans.

To withstand the swords one by one was too slow.

He was indeed here to pass through the checkpoint, and he intended to pass.

But he also needed to get on the leaderboard!

Under the same progress conditions, the ranking is based on time.

The faster you go through the checkpoints, the higher you will naturally rank on the list.

Of course, spending ten minutes on one checkpoint is not the same as spending an hour on one and a half. The latter will definitely rank higher.

Time comparison only applies to people with the same progress.

As Lu Xun sensed the first sword of this checkpoint, he already had a basic understanding of its difficulty.

For him now, it was in simple mode.

So what was he waiting for?

Take the initiative to attack!

He wielded his Sword Intent as soon as he made his move!

Just like smoke and fog, his elusive and artistic Sword Intent spread out all around.

It seemed like a fairyland on earth, but in reality, it hid infinite power.

“Ssssh!”

The Mist Sword was activated.

“Break for me!”

The power of One Sword actually shattered the first checkpoint!

It looked like while others were still waiting for the small monsters to run out and kill them one by one, the real boss directly cut through, not only killing the monsters in seconds but also blowing up the [map]!

Targeting the root, fast and ruthlessly.

“The first checkpoint is broken.” Ping Shanhai said indifferently.

Ye Sui’an’s face changed dramatically, shocked, “Did Elder Lu pass the checkpoint so quickly?”

He didn’t actually understand that the “breakthrough” mentioned by Ping Shanhai had another meaning.

The first checkpoint…. was truly broken!

Even though the checkpoints of [Moon in the Well], were automatically generated and automatically destroyed.

It was a one-time checkpoint, a checkpoint of consciousness on the level of consciousness.

Unlike [Turtle’s Longevity], which was composed of real formations.

But this mode of breakthrough, Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi were seeing for the first time.

This mode, clearly very barbaric!

Yet, for a man of such looks and temperament to do such a thing, the vibe was one of carefree sharpness, not brute rudeness.

It was the persistence of a swordsman!

“Whether it’s activating the Sword Heart or the Sword Intent, both are extremely draining of Spiritual Power and Divine Sense.

His approach, although time-saving, causes substantial consumption.” Qian Zhengyi began to comment.

“Fatman, don’t forget, his level of Spiritual Power far exceeds that of other cultivators of the same realm.” Ping Shanhai stated.

“Cripple, your Mountain’s Spirit Lamp has exploded, naturally, I know this. But what about his Divine Sense?” Qian Zhengyi asked.

“Then do you think he is the sort of person who acts recklessly?” Ping Shanhai retorted.

Qian Zhengyi shook his head and sighed.

The reason he sighed was because he had guessed that Lu Xun was not only surging with spiritual power, but his divine sense might also be vast compared to cultivators of the same level!

If not, he would not have behaved as he did.

In fact, this was indeed the case. The 3 points of spiritual power gave Lu Xun a solid foundation, and the strength of his divine sense was not to be trifled with.

“Natural talent, cultivation base, Sword Dao, divine sense, disposition… It’s hard to find a flaw in Lu Xun.”

“It’s hard to imagine how the teacher nurtured such a demon-like young man.” Qian Zhengyi said with deep emotion.

“Indeed.” Ping Shanhai also echoed.

Only Ye Sui’an was left in the dark.

“Could it be… that Elder Lu’s actions inside the checkpoint were not what I thought?”

“Elder Lu truly deserves his title, we can’t foresee his actions.” Ye Sui’an thought to himself.

Lu Xun, who broke through the first checkpoint in a very brutal way in a blink of an eye, has now entered the second checkpoint.

It is still the endless chaos of darkness, there’s one minute to prepare.

This left Lu Xun feeling a bit bored.

He started to recall the content of the second checkpoint.

According to Ye Sui’an’s description, the second checkpoint is different from the first one, the second one will face Sword Intent directly!

In this checkpoint, those sword cultivators who haven’t even touched the threshold of Sword Intent, most likely are done for.

And this feeling, Lu Xun has deep experience.

When he first received the “Enveloped in Sword Intent” task, he was a total rookie, getting “killed” dozens of times a night, and now when he thinks back on it, he marvels at how he managed to hang on.

He was a tough guy on the surface.

In this checkpoint, there are only three swords.

Each sword conceals Sword Intent, and each sword is stronger than the one before.

Generally, only those sword cultivators who have developed Sword Intent can pass.

Those halfway to Sword Intent, or those people with stable Sword Hearts, if they are lucky, might be able to grit their teeth and hold on.

That being said, Lu Xun wasn’t worried.

Because he is currently in the realm of minor completion of Sword Intent, since this checkpoint is aimed at those who have just understood Sword Intent, naturally it won’t pose a challenge to him.

Therefore, after counting down sixty seconds in his mind, as soon as Lu Xun sensed the Sword Intent approaching, he made a move.

Of course, before that, he wanted to feel this Sword Intent deeply.

After all, this Sword Intent came from the Sword Mountain Elder!

Even though it was a weakened version, its attributes remained the same.

Everyone’s Sword Intent is different. Like Lu Xun’s Sword Intent, it’s like smoke and fog, dreamlike, with a hazy feeling.

He was very curious, what did the Sword Intent of the Sword Mountain Elder look like?

But then he thought, there’s the next checkpoint!

The next one is an enhanced version of Sword Intent, tailored for those who have achieved a little Sword Intent.

Rather than observing it at this time, it makes sense to wait until the next checkpoint.

It’s like watching a video, since there’s Ultra HD, why watch in standard definition?

Furthermore, this type of Sword Intent targeted at those who have just stepped into the entry-level of Sword Intent could be extremely blurred, like a mosaic, making it impossible to see clearly.

It is meaningless.

Therefore, Lu Xun made his move decisively.

When doing the “Enveloped in Sword Intent” task before, he was always being “killed”, and resistance was futile.

The more he resisted, the more excited the Sword Intent became.

So he chose to endure silently.

But it’s different now.

This made him feel like “finally, it’s my turn to take pleasure.”

In this place of thought, a huge, mist-made giant sword suddenly appeared.

It was formed from Lu Xun’s Sword Intent, just like the Heaven and Earth Sword he unleashed, reaching straight into the sky, when he first caused the anomaly of heaven and earth!

“Divide!” Commanded Lu Xun.

The giant sword directly split this conceptual space with a single strike.

Just like when passing the first checkpoint.

This mode of checkpoint passing all came from the teachings of his second senior sister.

“We, the people of the Demon Sect, have little patience.”

“We don’t like to wait.”

Lu Xun thought to himself in his mind.
