The second round of statues consisted of eight statues.

Although these eight statues are identical in style to the previous four, when they fight, both their speed and the force of their swings are far superior to the four statues in the first round.

Most importantly, when these eight statues were besieging Xiao Xun, they would cooperate with each other, with some attacking, some covering, and some flanking, making it difficult for Xiao Xun to find an opportunity to attack the flaw circle that still existed in his chest in a short period of time.

However, this stalemate did not last long. Once Xiao Xun had fully adapted to the surge in his cultivation level, the battle situation changed.

This time, Xiao Xun did not back down. He took half an hour to deal with all eight statues.

Similarly, when the eighth statue shattered, a square platform of yellow sand reappeared on the ground.

The reward this time is a fourth-grade Xuan-level treasure sword.

After obtaining the precious sword, Xiao Xun returned it to Jiang Yuchuan.

The Xiao clan's unique skill is a sword technique called "Great Sun Technique," so he naturally finds it easier to wield a sword.

After resting for a while, Xiao Xun walked towards the statue again.

This time, all twenty remaining statues came to life.

Although his strength had greatly increased at this moment, Xiao Xun was under immense pressure as he faced the siege of twenty enormous statues, and his expression became extremely solemn.

Just then, a bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.

That is to take advantage of the surge in his strength and realm to unleash the fourth move of the Great Sun Technique once again, with a success rate of less than 20%—the Great Sun Falls to the West!

If he can successfully execute this move, then dealing with these twenty statues will naturally be no problem!

Xiao Xun took a deep breath, composed himself, and immediately swung his sword at one of the statues.

"interesting!"

Jiang Yuchuan, who was watching from the sidelines, noticed a glint in his eyes as he keenly sensed that Xiao Xun's aura seemed to have undergone some kind of quasi-change.

He was all too familiar with this feeling; it was clearly preparation for unleashing a powerful move.

As expected, after exchanging more than a dozen blows with the twenty statues and accumulating enough sword energy, Xiao Xun instantly unleashed all his true energy, and his entire body radiated dazzling golden light under the surge of true energy.

With golden light shimmering, Xiao Xun leaped into the sky, raising his precious sword high in both hands, like a blazing sun.

With a single slash, intense golden light instantly enveloped all the statues.

In Jiang Yuchuan's perception, the golden light enveloping the twenty statues was all formed from several blades of light.

Under the relentless barrage of hundreds of sword beams, the flaws on the twenty statues were instantly destroyed.

After the golden light dissipated, Xiao Xun returned to the ground and looked at the piles of loose sand in front of him, his face beaming with excitement.

He succeeded!

The sun is setting in the west, the power of heaven is shining brightly!

The power of this move, unleashed by someone at the late stage of the Returning Heaven Realm, far exceeded his expectations!

However, although this move was incredibly powerful, it also consumed a terrifying amount of energy, completely depleting all of his internal energy.

However, what puzzled Xiao Xun was that after all twenty statues were dealt with, the square platform that had appeared before did not rise from the ground again.

Just when Xiao Xun thought there would be no more rewards in the third round, a golden light suddenly flew down from the sky and entered Xiao Xun's head without warning.

Xiao Xun froze on the spot.

Jiang Yuchuan had noticed the golden light long ago, but he did not stop it.

Because within that golden light, he sensed a sword intent, a sword intent identical to the one Xiao Xun had just used.

"It seems that this secret realm was indeed passed down from Xiao Xun's ancestors."

The three rounds of statue attacks in this first stage were specifically designed to hone the combat skills of the younger generation.

An hour later, Xiao Xun awoke from his meditative state.

Jiang Yuchuan didn't ask any more questions, and looked at the exit that appeared ahead. "Let's go. We've passed this level. Staying any longer would be a complete waste of time."

Xiao Xun nodded emphatically and immediately followed Jiang Yuchuan's footsteps.

He was pondering how to explain to Jiang Yuchuan the golden light that had entered his head. Seeing that Jiang Yuchuan showed no curiosity about it, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, when he thought of all the help Jiang Yuchuan had given him along the way, he felt a little guilty.

After the two stepped into the exit, the scene before them changed again.

Blue sky and white clouds, lush vegetation.

It was a completely different world from the previous one.

What caught Xiao Xun's attention was not the peaceful and tranquil scenery, but the enormous, terrifying beasts roaming across the grasslands.

A quick count revealed that there were nearly a thousand ferocious beasts roaming this grassland!

Although he was still far away from these ferocious beasts, Xiao Xun could still clearly sense the fierce and powerful aura emanating from them.

Even without Jiang Yuchuan's prompting, he knew that the second challenge was to deal with these ferocious beasts.

The thought of fighting nearly a thousand ferocious beasts sent chills down Xiao Xun's spine.

"It seems this level tests real combat skills."

Jiang Yuchuan could clearly sense a transparent barrier several feet ahead.

It was precisely because this barrier isolated their presence that these ferocious beasts did not discover them immediately.

"Senior, how do we get through this challenge?"

Xiao Xun tightened his grip on the precious sword and turned to look at Jiang Yuchuan.

"Of course you'll go first, right?"

Jiang Yuchuan smiled. "Fighting these ferocious beasts will greatly help improve your strength. Don't you want to increase your strength as soon as possible, personally kill your enemies, and avenge your people?"

"Of course I do!"

Xiao Xun replied without hesitation.

Killing his enemy with his own hands was something he dreamed of!

Jiang Yuchuan revealed a look of "you're a promising student," and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and charge!"

"--good!"

Xiao Xun was immediately filled with fighting spirit and cupped his hands in greeting to Jiang Yuchuan, "I'll trouble you to stand by and support me, senior!"

Jiang Yuchuan replied, "Don't worry, of course I won't watch you get torn apart by the ferocious beast. If necessary, I will take action."

With Jiang Yuchuan's words, Xiao Xun had no more worries. He looked at the ferocious beast, raised his head, and strode out.

The moment Xiao Xun stepped out of the barrier, all the ferocious beasts froze, and in the next instant, they all fixed their gazes on Xiao Xun's small figure.

As the saying goes: "One should strike while the iron is hot, but the momentum will wane on the second attempt and be exhausted on the third."

Xiao Xun was afraid that if he hesitated for even a moment, his fighting spirit would weaken. Therefore, before any of the ferocious beasts could make a move, he roared first, swung his precious sword, and launched an attack.
