Gatekeeper of all realms.

Chapter 72 The deeper meaning of the exam!
Xiao Mengyu has no discernment and cannot see threads.

So she can think like this.

But I can’t.

Shen Ye calmed down and said in a deep voice:
"Let's speed up and try to find a suitable statue of the god as soon as possible."

Not many people came down at this time.

He and Xiao Mengyu had enough time to find a suitable statue of the god.

As the saying goes, one step is early and every step is early.

I still don’t know what is going on with the wave of lamentation, so I must speed up!
The horse head has disappeared.

After a short discussion, the two started the ghost fire motorcycle and flew in the opposite direction of Zhao Yibing.

The only thing you don't have to worry about are the statues of gods.

——The broken limbs of various statues are scattered all over the mountains and plains.

The only difficulty was finding a suitable statue of the deity.

I asked five statues in succession. They either wanted to eat human flesh, or asked to use gold to build a temple, or to develop hundreds of followers.

"I finally understand the sentence in the mission." Xiao Mengyu said.

"What?" Shen Ye asked.

"Actually, the most important thing about this task is to find the 'suitable' statue of the god." Xiao Mengyu said.

This suddenly inspired Shen Ye.

Shen Ye paused for a moment and said, "Just now that horse head said something that caught my attention."

"You mean-" Xiao Mengyu also recalled.

"The girl next to you is a swordsman. She must be interested in him. Just stay respectful in front of him." Shen Ye repeated.

The will-o'-the-wisp locomotive suddenly stopped in mid-air.

The two said in unison:
"Resonance!"

Yes!

A person must find a statue of a god that is compatible with him or her before he or she can gain the statue's recognition!
Xiao Mengyu has the evaluation entry of "Sword Master".

One of the entry effects is——

The resonance with the sword increases by 10 points.

Although it is unclear how much resonance she originally had, with a full 10 points of sword resonance, she should look for statues of gods related to swords!
As for myself——

My basic resonance level is 9. Because of the pupil technique of "Moonlight Divine Light", the moonlight system inheritance resonance level is increased by 20.

That's 29.

I want to find a statue of a moon-like deity!

Now only one last question remains.

——Are there statues of sword and moon gods here?

Chen Ye closed his eyes slightly and opened them again.

You can now see the entries yourself.

You can use the pupil technique of "Moonlight Divine Light" to find such statues!

"I'll look ahead. Pay attention to your surroundings. If there's a statue holding a sword, call me."

Shen Ye said.

"Calling you? What do you mean?" Xiao Mengyu asked.

"I'll take a look with my magic eye. Maybe I'll find something unexpected." Shen Ye said.

"Okay!" Xiao Mengyu agreed immediately.

She pressed the sword with one hand and supported Shen Ye with the other. She stood up from the ghost fire motorcycle and looked around.

Shen Ye looked ahead with all his strength.

The ghost-fire motorcycle passed through the valley, flew along a leaning tree, crossed the mountains, and kept moving forward in the howling wind.

The incomplete statues receded from their sight.

——Thanks to this motorcycle, the efficiency of the two of them has improved countless times compared to other candidates.

At this moment.

Other candidates also gradually found ways to enter the floating island.

On the mountain path next to the stream, two civilian candidates discovered a watermelon-sized head of a god statue.

They knelt before the head and begged:

"Great God, can you relax the conditions a little bit?"

"If our arms were offered to you, our lives would be ruined."

The god's head said indifferently:
"When the tide of mourning comes, without my protection, you will all die."

"Now I just want your arms, why don't you hurry up--"

call!
A will-o'-the-wisp motorcycle passed quickly past the two candidates and the statue of the god.

But the next second.

It swept back.

Shen Ye jumped off the motorcycle, glanced at the two of them, took two steps, and kicked out hard.

Boom! ! !
The god's head was kicked away by him, passed through the green mountains, fell into the mountain stream, and disappeared.

"I can't stop grabbing people's hands and making them eat shit!"

After Shen Ye finished cursing, he jumped on the motorcycle and turned the throttle again——

The motorcycle burst into roar and disappeared on the rugged mountain road in an instant.

The two candidates stayed where they were.

"How dare he, he, dare to confront the gods—"

One person said tremblingly.

"It's strange... He didn't seem to be expelled from the examination room even if he did this." Another person thought deeply.

"Eh heh heh? Yes, I seem to understand a little bit."

……

The will-o'-the-wisp locomotive is racing like lightning.

"Hey, you're so angry about these statues."

Xiao Mengyu covered her mouth and smiled.

The sight of him kicking the head away was always before his eyes.

The head was kicked in the face by his foot, and it suddenly lost its previous majesty and tranquility, and became full of fear and fear.

Then the head rolled over and flew away with an expression that was uncontrollable.

This scene made Xiao Mengyu laugh.

"Of course I'm angry. These statues don't look like gods!"

Shen Ye cursed while driving.

"The gods must look like gods!"

"What do gods look like?" Xiao Mengyu chatted casually.

"You know, right? In our hometown, those guys who don't behave properly as gods, even if they just flirt with a girl after drinking, will be demoted to the mortal world and become a pig, carrying a load and walking a distance of 108,000 miles."

Xiao Mengyu's eyes curved into crescent moons, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she chuckled again.

pig?
Carrying a heavy load and walking thousands of miles?

This guy is talking nonsense!

suddenly.

“Wait—look over there!”

Xiao Mengyu shouted.

Shen Ye immediately came to his senses and turned the car around.

The two stopped in front of a standing terracotta statue holding a sword.

I saw that this pottery figurine was incomplete, missing its head and left arm, and its body was covered with moss and soil.

Its right hand holds a large sword, and the sword is covered with mottled patina, blending with bright white and yellow colors.

"Will this work?" Xiao Mengyu asked uncertainly.

Shen Ye took a look.

I saw two lines of small words above this pottery figurine:

"The soul-suppressing sword of a god with a dragon's head mixed with gold, silver and bronze."

"The sword spirit is attached."

Shen Ye looked at the sword carefully and saw that the grip of the long sword was indeed carved to look like a dragon's head.

——Sword spirit?
This is not a god.

Will it work?

and many more!

Why is the evaluation term for this terracotta figurine "sword"?
"You try it." Shen Ye said.

Xiao Mengyu took a step forward, raised his head, bowed respectfully to the statue and said:

"My name is Xiao Mengyu. I would like to ask you to protect me and my friends so that we can survive the coming tide of sorrow."

"Please tell me what you need as an offering."

The statue did not move.

"No." Xiao Mengyu said disappointedly.

"You are praying to the wrong person. You should pray to this." Shen Ye pointed at the big sword.

"Sword? Are you sure?"

"Try it."

Seeing that he insisted, Xiao Mengyu had no choice but to pray to the sword again.

Waited for a breath.

Still no movement.

Xiao Mengyu sighed and was about to say something, but he saw the heavy sword move slightly, shake off the dust, and fly up.

"It moved!"

both shouted in unison.

The sword ignored the two of them and flew directly to a tree nearby. It then wrote a few large characters:
"Use me to cut ten times, stab ten times, and dance ten times."

Xiao Mengyu was stunned for a moment, so he had to ask again:

"Is that all? Nothing else?"

"Not needed." The big sword was engraved with words.

Xiao Mengyu and Shen Ye looked at each other.

Could it be that if the resonance level is right, the requirements will become so low?

"Look, it's so big and heavy, it might be difficult to operate." Shen Ye said hesitantly.

"Anyway... let me try it first." Xiao Mengyu said.

She stepped forward and carefully took the greatsword in her hands.

The great sword made no movement.

It let her hold it tightly, steadying it with both hands, and then she stood in front of the clearing in the woods.

"Then I'll start!"

Xiao Mengyu took a deep breath and said.

The greatsword made a slight humming sound, as if responding to her.

Xiao Mengyu swung the sword with all his strength and performed a killing sword technique.

The strong sword wind created a white mist on the flat ground, which drifted away into the distance.

After the sword was slashed out, Xiao Mengyu seemed stunned.

"how?"

Shen Ye asked nervously.

That big sword has a sword spirit.

I hope nothing unexpected happens.

Xiao Mengyu stood there, silent for a few breaths, then suddenly smiled at him.

"I understand."

"It has gone through a long time and endured endless loneliness. Now when it sees me, it thinks of the past."

"—It wants to be used as a sword again."

As he spoke, Xiao Mengyu was already swinging the sword again.

Continuous slashing!
Thrust forward with all your strength!
Xiao Mengyu flipped the sword's spine, creating sword flowers dancing on this desolate island.

Cut ten times, stab ten times, dance ten times—

finished!
The greatsword made a loud and clear sound, bringing up a strong wind, as if returning to the days of war.

Xiao Mengyu couldn't bear to put it down, so he just held it high up, poured all his strength into the sword technique, urged the sword body to move, and released sword energy.

One man, one sword, dancing again!

The sword energy is fierce and the sword light is blazing.

Even the light of the burning candle was eclipsed by it.

hum-

The big sword broke away from Xiao Mengyu's hand and rushed into the sky like a dragon. It swam freely for a while, making bursts of loud sword sounds in the sky.

Xiao Mengyu also laughed loudly, and he kept activating the sword techniques in his hand, saying in a voice as clear as pearls:

"I have another sword move that reaches the sky, use it!"

The words fell.

The big sword shuttled rapidly in the sky, performing sword moves continuously, and then suddenly fell down and hovered in front of Xiao Mengyu.

It tilted the hilt forward like a human, as if saluting her.

"You're welcome, you're welcome!"

Xiao Mengyu quickly and seriously returned the greeting.

As Shen Ye watched, a sudden flash of enlightenment came into his mind.

——Now, the resonance between Xiao Mengyu and the big sword must have exceeded a certain limit. The sword is almost willing to go through numerous hardships for her and accompany her to conquer the world!
Just because Xiao Mengyu understands it.

And it also understood that Xiao Mengyu was a real swordsman!

--No.

She is now a sword master!

It turned out to be the case.

This level is well-intentioned.

All designs are designed to help candidates understand the true meaning of "resonance".

"What a great lesson." Shen Ye said with emotion.

But after Xiao Mengyu finished her greeting, she changed from her usual calmness and composure, with a smile on her face, like a real fifteen-year-old girl, and happily returned to Shen Ye with the big sword.

"It's willing to help us."

Xiao Mengyu held up the sword and said with shining eyes.
