My junior sister sees everyone as a heretical cultivator.

Chapter 24 Stop!

The trials have begun?

You should at least give me some time to prepare!

How to do?
How to do?
Su Ling'er dodged the figure with a quick movement, and only then could she see what kind of monster it was.

"Ouch——"

A wolf's howl came from the monster.

This is a wolf demon, and it's a size bigger than an ordinary wolf demon!
Its fangs were exposed, and its beastly eyes were fixed on Su Ling'er.

Fortunately, it wasn't strong, and I was still able to react.

But... with this wooden sword?

Are you suggesting I use this wooden sword to kill the demon wolf?
Without using spiritual power or cultivation, relying solely on mortal martial arts?
Do you want me to punch and kick this demon wolf?
But I've never tempered my body, and my physique isn't strong!

The demonic wolf moved again!

It exerted force with all four limbs, moving so fast that it was difficult to respond, and pounced on Su Ling'er again.

A foul stench swept over her, and Su Ling'er's pupils constricted. In that instant, the spiritual power within her body seemed to instinctively react as if threatened, almost bursting out to form a defensive shield!
She bit her lower lip hard, then suddenly shifted her foot, narrowly missing a step to the side.

The wolf's claws grazed the hem of her clothes, tearing up a piece of fabric.

fine……

However, the wolf did not give her a moment to rest, and once again opened its blood-red maw to bite her.

Su Ling'er looked at Lin Qingfeng not far away.

Isn't he going to come and save us?

It's over! It's over!

She could only slash forward with the wooden sword that looked like a fire poker.

At least it's a wooden stick; it's better than fighting the demon wolf bare-handed!
This stab was unremarkable, lacking any spiritual power or fancy techniques.

She was prepared for the wooden sword to break, and for her to immediately abandon it and flee behind her senior brother.

But then there was a soft "thud," like the sound of a sharp blade entering flesh!

The wooden sword's two attributes, [Sever (Tier 1)] and [Break Evil (Tier 1)], activate instantly.

Su Ling'er was stunned.

She looked down and saw that the wooden sword had easily cut the wolf's face, even blowing out one of its eyes!

Is this wooden sword that powerful?

Is this still a wooden sword?

But why can't I sense anything special about it?
The demon wolf winced in pain and took two steps back.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Ling'er sidestepped into the wolf's blind spot and thrust her wooden sword directly into its head!

"Pfft!"

The wooden sword pierced the wolf's head again with ease, reaching the hilt.

The wolf's body twitched symbolically a few times before collapsing to the ground, lifeless.

Fresh blood slowly flowed down the wooden sword and dripped onto the ground.

Then, with a "poof," the wolf's corpse turned into a wisp of green smoke and vanished without a trace.

Su Ling'er flicked her sword, staring incredulously at the wooden sword in her hand.

The sword was completely unstained by blood, yet it still looked as plain as a fire poker.

This wooden sword looks like an ordinary piece of wood, but just now it was sharper than refined steel!
This is how the same thing?

Could this wooden sword be something special?
If they weren't ordinary items, why would they be given to the disciples for free?

Before she could figure it out, Lin Qingfeng's voice came from the side:
"Not bad, he's quite agile and has some foundation as a mortal martial artist."

"But you must know that the debate over the great principles has always been only a hair's breadth apart."

“If your Dao heart had wavered even slightly just now, you might have stopped here.”

If someone dies as soon as they enter, then Su Ling'er's score will only be passing one level.

This will be recorded by Elder Qian, and he will definitely be last on the Demon Locking Tower challenge leaderboard!

Even those players weren't so bad that they died after only clearing one level!
She wasn't ashamed; she was ashamed of herself.

And will Su Ling'er have any psychological issues after seeing her bottom-ranked grades?
But I don't think so...

She's already so bad at it, she should know that.

But who knows... Oh well, at least we've made it past the first level.

Su Ling'er held the wooden sword without saying a word.

The subsequent trials in the Demon-Sealing Tower confirmed her suspicions.

The second level is a two-headed demon wolf.

The third level is a tough-skinned, thick-skinned demon pig.

The fourth level consists of thirteen swift-moving magical monkeys.

Su Ling'er, relying solely on her wooden sword and ordinary martial arts skills, repeatedly escaped danger.

But by the time she reached the fourth floor, she was indeed starting to feel exhausted.

Even with the wooden sword in her hand, she already felt a bit strained.

However, she never dared to reveal her true cultivation level.

Lin Qingfeng stood silently to the side, his eyes vacant.

He was browsing the forum, and his junior sister was typing too slowly, so he was getting bored.

A small elite monster will appear on the fifth floor; we'll have to see how my junior sister deals with it.

Isn't it better to browse forums and learn pretentious quotes at other times?

Finally, Su Ling'er arrived at the fifth floor of the Demon Locking Tower.

The world before my eyes suddenly distorted, turning into a dark and damp cave.

"Tick...tick..."

Water droplets dripped from the stalactites on the cave ceiling.

In the deathly silent cave, the sound was exceptionally clear. Her back was already soaked with cold sweat, and her strength was being rapidly depleted.

She had a strong premonition that the monsters on this floor were more terrifying than the previous four floors combined!
"Sand... rustle..."

A scraping sound came from the shadows deep inside the cave.

The shadow moved!

A giant scorpion, nearly a hundred feet long, slowly crawled out, dragging its rock-like body.

Its carapace had a deathly gray sheen, and its two giant claws gleamed with a cold, metallic light as they opened and closed.

But its most lethal feature is its high-raised tail hook.

The poison needle at the tip was emitting a faint purple glow.

Rock Armor Scorpion!
Su Ling'er's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

She simply couldn't defeat a monster of this level without using her spiritual power!
The rock scorpion also spotted her.

Six terrifying compound eyes turned simultaneously, locking onto this tiny human being.

One of its giant claws kept pawing at the ground!
Boom!Boom!Boom!
It easily carved shallow pits into the hard rocky ground.

It's a protest!

Looking at the indestructible rock armor, Su Ling'er knew perfectly well that if she continued to pretend in this situation, she would definitely die!

Human martial arts are nothing but a joke in the face of such a monster!
The only way to survive is to use your cultivation!

But... once she used it... her gaze unconsciously drifted towards Lin Qingfeng.

Ok?
What are you doing now?

Lin Qingfeng remained standing there, his body stiff, his eyes vacant, unresponsive.

Was he possessed?
We didn't see any such powerful monsters on the previous floors.

That means... he's faking it!

He deliberately put on this act to see if he would reveal his cultivation level when he was forced into a corner!

How to do?
Sect Leader, what should I do?
The undercover mission was exposed and failed on the spot.

He might be eliminated by this demonic sect as an outcast.

They were refined into living pills, used as materials for blood sacrifices, or transformed into nourishment for the human soil...

If we don't expose ourselves, we'll be torn to shreds by this rock scorpion right now!

The question is whether to die early or late.

Do not!
Can't be exposed!

We have no choice but to take a gamble!
He was betting that he still had some use to this senior brother and that he wouldn't really let himself die!

Su Ling'er's eyes turned resolute!

And the rock-armored scorpion moved!
Its massive body transformed into a gray lightning bolt and charged forward!

So fast!

Su Ling'er narrowly avoided the attack by dodging to the side, but the huge scorpion claw collided violently with the wooden sword in Su Ling'er's hand!
"clang--!"

A deafening sound of metal clashing with wood exploded out!

A tremendous force came from the sword, causing her to crack her thumb and forefinger, and the wooden sword almost slipped from her hand!
The wooden sword didn't break, but it no longer slashed the monsters as easily as before.

It left only a shallow mark on the scorpion's claw, from which white smoke drifted and made a "sizzling" sound.

But this is only a negligible erosion for the giant claw.

The weapon that was effective against the monsters in the first four levels is now useless!

The Rock Armored Scorpion's attacks did not stop.

With a turn, it slammed Su Ling'er, who had just blocked with her wooden sword and had nowhere to grab her footing, against the stone wall!

"boom!"

"puff--!"

She coughed up a mouthful of blood, her vision blurred, her internal organs seemed to be out of place, and even breathing was excruciatingly painful.

it hurts……

She struggled to get up, but her body wouldn't obey her commands.

The rock scorpion closed in step by step, its venomous tail hook raised high, aimed at her face!

In Su Ling'er's pupils, the poison needle, shimmering with a purple light, magnified continuously, filling her entire field of vision.

it's over...

Dying?

Is my senior brother really not coming to save me?

Is this... my end?
After three years of cultivation, he was still only at the third level of Qi Refining, and ultimately... he couldn't even see the threshold of Foundation Establishment...

My master's instructions... the expectations of the righteous path... I have failed them all...

And that true explanation—I haven't even had a chance to grasp even a fraction of its mysteries before I'm about to turn to dust along with it…

I'm so unwilling to accept this... I'm really so unwilling to accept this...

Just then, she heard her senior brother's voice.

"stop!"

Su Ling'er's pupils suddenly focused.

stop?

What do you mean?
He can control the monsters here?!

Could it be... that all of this was just a play he orchestrated?

However, the rock scorpion did not pause its movements at all; its deadly tail hook still whistled as it stabbed straight down!

isn't it? !

It won't listen to you?!
