The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

Seeing this, Chen Wu quickly stepped forward and gently wiped the tears from Hu Xingtong's cheeks. His eyes were filled with heartache and understanding. "Xingxing, don't be afraid. That's just your inner demon at work. The prerequisite for entering this secret realm is to accept the test of the inner demon. During your days of training in Fanyun Sect, you must have missed your family terribly, so the inner demon is using this longing to influence you."

Hu Xingtong sobbed and looked up at Chen Wu, her eyes full of confusion. "Chen Wu, am I too selfish? I only think about my own pain, but ignore the people around me who really care about me. I even lose my temper with them in my dreams. Only after waking up did I realize how much I cherish every moment with them."

Chen Wu shook his head gently, his tone full of encouragement: "No, Xingxing, you are not selfish. Everyone encounters difficulties and challenges in the process of growing up. What's important is how we face and overcome them. You have done very well. You have bravely faced your inner demons and realized the importance of your family to you. Moreover, in my opinion, your family loves you very much. They understand your sadness and pain, and tolerate your self-esteem and temper. I think they love you very much."

"But, will I be able to see them again? I really miss them." There was a slight tremor in Hu Xingtong's voice, and his eyes were full of longing.

Chen Wu smiled slightly, his eyes filled with tenderness and patience. "Of course, Xingxing. As long as you continue to work hard to cultivate and improve your strength, one day you will be able to break through the boundaries of space and return to the real world to reunite with your family. Moreover, I believe that your family has been waiting for you, and their love will be your most powerful motivation."

Hu Xingtong felt a surge of warmth in her heart when she heard this. She sniffed and held Chen Wu's hand tightly. "Thank you, Chen Wu. I was so helpless at that time. I always felt like I was abandoned by the whole world."

Chen Wu gently patted Hu Xingtong's shoulder and shook his head in amusement: "How could that be? Even if you abandon me, I may not be able to abandon you."

"Hmm..." Hu Xingtong's voice was muffled. Snuggled in Chen Wu's small embrace, he smelled the light floral scent of the girl and asked, "Why did you come out?"

Chen Wu tilted his head, his pink hair swaying with his movements, looking very cute. "Your fellow disciples are not with you. If I don't come out soon, you will really be doomed."

"Ahem," Hu Xingtong coughed awkwardly and got out of Chen Wu's arms. Thinking that the others might not be in good condition either, he asked with concern, "So how are they doing now?"

Chen Wu thought for a moment and replied, "They're all in a better situation than you. One of them is a prince who grew up in the treacherous palace, one is a common assassin who's experienced the wickedness of human nature, and the other two are veterans who've spent years training outside. Each of them has more experience dealing with illusions than you do, so you're the last one to wake up."

"Ah, am I that bad?" Hu Xingtong looked at Chen Wu, trying to get a satisfactory answer, and then the latter nodded very honestly, which made Hu Xingtong feel very embarrassed.

"You won't die if you don't tell the truth." Hu Xingtong angrily broke away from Chen Wu's arms, stood up, snorted condescendingly, and then he realized that he could stand up.

"Tsk, it's true that the environmental illusion can easily confuse people's minds. I almost thought that I was still the disabled person who can only sit in a wheelchair." Hu Xingtong looked at his legs and murmured softly.

Chen Wu followed behind Hu Xingtong and introduced the current situation in the secret realm. "The secret realm you are in now is a trial-type secret realm. You need to complete the corresponding trials to obtain the corresponding items. It has quite a few limitations. It is likely designed by the game creator for players to level up. There are not many treasures in it, so you will face some combat situations next, which can be regarded as training for your actual combat ability."

"Oh, and this isn't like the battles on the thirteenth floor of Chonglou. The battles here are all about fighting with all your might, and the difficulty gradually increases. You have to be careful and don't let yourself get bored."

"I understand. You go back first." Hu Xingtong didn't say anything. He thought that as a cultivator, he really didn't have much practical combat ability, so it would be good to train.

Summoning Qing Huan Jian, Hu Xingtong immediately entered combat mode. Chen Wu also returned to Hu Xingtong's body at this time. Before leaving, he reminded Hu Xingtong: "Before entering some special environments in the future, you can open your Scanning Eye in advance. This Scanning Eye plug-in can defend against all mental or spiritual attacks and is not affected by realm."

"Really?" Hu Xingtong himself didn't know that the golden finger he designed could be used in this way.

"Well, this plug-in of yours can function as your realm grows. It can also be considered a kind of growable magical power. You will know it when you explore it yourself in the future." After saying that, Chen Wu's figure disappeared.

Hu Xingtong felt that what Chen Wu said made sense. In order to avoid the reappearance of the illusionary demon, she completely opened the scanning eye. A golden light flashed in her eyes, and at this moment, the information about the surrounding secret realm was clearly visible in Hu Xingtong's eyes.

Suddenly, ten red-snake demon wolves in the foundation-building stage appeared out of thin air in Hu Xingtong's field of vision. They looked quite large. The scanning eye showed that their physical fitness had reached the Kaiyuan level of physical cultivation, and they also had the innate ability of teleportation.

Tsk, it seems that from this moment on, the battle in the secret realm has officially begun.

Faced with the sudden appearance of ten Foundation Establishment Stage Scarlet Snake Demon Wolves, Hu Xingtong didn't panic. Instead, his eyes gleamed with excitement. Having just emerged from his inner demonic realm, Hu Xingtong was driven to become stronger, yet also felt discontent with the scene within.

So at this moment, she urgently needed a place to vent her emotions, and the Scarlet Demon Wolf that happened to appear at this moment was exactly what Hu Xingtong wanted.

She quickly adjusted her breathing, and the spiritual energy in her body began to surge. The Qing Huan Sword shone with golden light in her hand. Hu Xingtong took a deep breath, and the sword suddenly turned. Her figure instantly turned into a shadow and rushed towards the nearest Red Snake Demon Wolf.

The sword flashed like a dragon, instantly cutting through the air and striking the wolf's vital points. However, these red-banded wolves were no ordinary creatures. With their innate ability of teleportation, they easily dodged Hu Xingtong's first attack.

Hu Xingtong remained undeterred, instead becoming even more focused. She leveraged her scanning eye to accurately track each wolf's movements, flexibly adjusting her attack strategy. After a clever trick, she finally managed to slay a Scarlet Wolf.

Blood stained the ground red, and the air was thick with the smell of gore. However, this did not frighten or irritate Hu Xingtong. Instead, it aroused the fighting spirit and madness deep within her. She thought that this battle-themed trial realm was the perfect place for her to vent her emotions.

As the battle dragged on, Hu Xingtong gradually found her rhythm. She flexed her swordsmanship, agilely combining it with her agile movements, engaging in a fierce battle with the Scarlet Snake Demon Wolf. Each swing of her sword was accompanied by a surge of spiritual energy, and the sword shone like a weave, slicing through the demonic wolves one by one.

However, the Red Snake Demon Wolves were numerous, and their coordination was becoming increasingly tacit. Hu Xingtong was accidentally attacked by a demon wolf, leaving a deep wound on her shoulder. Blood flowed from the wound, staining her clothes red.

The pain made Hu Xingtong frown, but she didn't flinch. She took a deep breath, enduring the pain. Her eyes gradually turned blood red, and crimson flames lingered around her, amplifying Qing Huanjian's power.

Looking at the crimson flames surrounding him, Hu Xingtong's eyes became increasingly crazy.

They are just monsters in the Foundation Establishment Stage. My swordsmanship is not bad, so I can always kill them all.

The amplification of the flames greatly increased the power of the Qing Huan Sword. Wherever the sword flashed, the air seemed to ignite, leaving behind charred cracks. Hu Xingtong swung the sword again, using the first move of the Yingzhen Sword Technique to activate the strange fire. This time, the sword light pounced on the remaining red-skinned demon wolves like a fiery dragon, and the scorching heat caused the demon wolves to howl shrilly.

Under the baptism of fire, the number of red-snake devil wolves decreased rapidly. Every time a devil wolf fell, it was like a stone fell from Hu Xingtong's heart, making her even more excited.

The ground was covered with blood. Hu Xingtong, who was walking on the blood, heard the sound of water and felt the sticky and wet feeling under his feet. Hu Xingtong only felt that it was pleasant to the ear. This was the true expression of strength.
