A Useless Person's Rise to Power: The Demon King's Addiction to Pampering

"Trial passed... No passage allowed." A hoarse, mechanical voice came from behind.

After the 'person' on the hill stood up, Feng Jiu finally saw the other person's full appearance, and her pupils immediately contracted.

This is... a metal man!

It was a humanoid weapon created by someone using the method of refining weapons, and Feng Jiutian clearly sensed that the other party's cultivation level was no lower than that of a Spirit Master!

Just as Feng Jiutian was processing the information, the metal man suddenly leaped down from the hill and swung his long sword at Feng Jiutian.

But Feng Jiutian could see that although this metal man could move on his own, he was completely different from the giant at the door. He was too mechanical and had no moves whatsoever. He relied entirely on the fighting spirit stored in his body to move.

Was this thing created by the Ancient God?

Feng Jiutian found this idea somewhat unbelievable, but couldn't find a better explanation. Only a powerful god could refine weapons with their body and create humanoid weapons that were no less powerful than those of a spirit master.

However, it seemed that the Ancient God Venerable focused too much on the strength of the metal man and did not give him any moves, which resulted in the metal man having the cultivation of a spirit master but being unable to use them accurately.

At least that's what Feng Jiutian thinks right now.

But she soon found it difficult to dodge the metal man's attacks!

"Bang!" Feng Jiutian was violently blasted away by the fighting spirit, crashing into the wall and rolling down. She immediately felt a sharp pain in her chest as if her internal organs had shifted, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

"Clang!" The metal man's sword slammed heavily into Feng Jiutian's eyes, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Not... up to standard." The metal man slowly uttered in a mechanical voice, then stood still, as if waiting for the next challenge.

Feng Jiutian's expression hardened, and he quickly sat down to meditate and regulate his breathing. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes, along with a hint of madness.

powerful!

Feng Jiutian began to take an interest in the Ancient Luo Palace.

The giant in front of the temple gate is a test of skills and is imbued with extremely rich elemental energy, so what about this metal man?

At first glance, the moves seemed completely unpredictable, appearing to be nothing more than a simple use of leverage. However, after experiencing them firsthand, she discovered—

The metal man's attacks were not entirely without strategy!

It seemed to have anticipated Feng Jiutian's attack and quickly launched a counterattack, the force of which was corresponding, making Feng Jiutian curious about what secrets this metal man was hiding.

And after passing the Sword Tomb level, who knows what rewards will be given!

After adjusting himself, Feng Jiutian supported himself with the help of Xi Xue to get up, stretched a bit, and then suppressed his spiritual energy. After a while, he suddenly unleashed a powerful burst of fighting spirit that condensed on the surface of his skin!

The martial arts techniques used by the metal man to pass the test cannot be achieved by using elemental power. Killing intent domains and elemental attacks are completely useless against the metal man.

Because they are made of metal, they are impervious to blades and bullets, and cannot be harmed by water or fire. They can only fight hand-to-hand, using close combat to find their weaknesses.

It's obvious that Feng Jiutian has found the right approach. Compared to the first time, this time she was able to last ten rounds against the metal man before being slapped back into the corner!

"Pfft!" He spat out a mouthful of blood.

Feng Jiutian took out a pill directly from the Void Spirit Cauldron, swallowed it, meditated for a while, and then jumped up to attack the metal man!

"Bang!" It was slapped back again.

After recovering and regaining his composure, he charged at the metal man again!

"boom!"

Pranayama.

"boom!"

Pranayama.

"boom!"

"..."

"boom!"

After about ten rounds, Feng Jiutian was slammed back into the corner. Her face showed no sign of dejection; on the contrary, she was full of energy. She had found the weakness of the metal man!

The reason why the metal man cannot be called a human is because he is metal and has no real thoughts; he only has the instructions given by the ancient god after he was refined.

He would repeatedly receive trial participants at the Sword Tomb, and only after the trial participants had enough strength to pass the test would he enter a dormant state. However, without the Spirit Master rank, martial artists could only be beaten repeatedly in a head-on confrontation.

Feng Jiutian was only at the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm, so she couldn't fight the metal man head-on. She could only use her skill. In these dozen or so rounds, she finally found the metal man's weakness!

abdomen!

There was an extremely tiny switch there, which was carefully protected by the metal man. As soon as Feng Jiutian got close to that switch, the metal man's force would involuntarily increase!

So just focus your attack on that area!

Having found his target and direction, Feng Jiutian regrouped, jumped up again, smiled confidently, and charged directly at the metal man!

A feint startled the metal man, who responded immediately. A sharp glint flashed in Feng Jiutian's eyes, and the silver needle hidden in her hand behind her back suddenly attacked his unsuspecting abdomen!

The silver needle contained the fighting spirit that Feng Jiutian had condensed, and the concentrated fighting spirit pierced directly through the metal man's abdomen!

With a 'crack', the metal figure suddenly dissipated the fighting spirit that had been condensing around it, and remained motionless, no matter how Feng Jiutian tried to probe it, it did not respond.

Feng Jiutian coldly uttered two words: "Done," then put away the fine snow and summoned a dagger.

"Bang! Crack crack crack—"

Feng Jiutian gathered all his fighting spirit into the tip of the dagger, channeled all his strength, and fiercely stabbed the metal man in the waist where the needle had pierced, beginning to dismantle the metal man.

She was genuinely curious about the structure of the metal man.

After completely dissecting the metal man, Feng Jiutian took out something resembling an inner core. It had a metallic sheen, was about the size of a fist, and emitted a strong aura of gold element. Feng Jiutian didn't rush to study it and simply threw it into the Void Spirit Cauldron.

Suddenly, a red light flashed from the metal man's forehead, and a drop of red liquid slowly floated up in front of Feng Jiutian. The metal man instantly turned into ashes and disappeared into the air, while the sword that the metal man had been holding fell to the ground with a 'clang'.

"This is……"

Feng Jiutian frowned. She sensed a terrifying aura surging like a mountain collapsing within the drop of blood floating in mid-air, no less oppressive than the force she felt on Mo Shaoxie.

She didn't act rashly, but only released her divine sense to carefully test the drop of blood. However, she never expected that the moment her divine sense touched the blood, it would quickly fly towards Feng Jiutian. Feng Jiutian was shocked, and the drop of blood essence was directly absorbed from between her eyebrows!

Suddenly, a tremendous power surged within him, flowing through his limbs and bones, as if it were about to burst his meridians!

heat!

pain!

"what--"

Feng Jiutian gritted his teeth, let out an extremely suppressed roar, and collapsed to the ground, uncontrollably curling into a ball!
