As she spoke, she turned her gaze towards Wang Xiaoke, a hint of provocation in her eyes. "As for the content of the trial, could you please come up? I'll start the trial and explain the rules."

Zhou Xue intentionally did not give Wang Xiaoke a chance to prepare, but instead let her go on stage to face the challenge.

Forcing Wang Xiaoke in this direct way caught her off guard.

"Come on," Wang Xiaoke agreed readily, leaping onto the platform without hesitation. Her movements were decisive and she stood up to Zhou Xue without backing down.

After Wang Xiaoke stood still, he looked directly at Zhou Xue. There was no fear in his eyes, but instead they were full of fighting spirit.

She was still so direct.

"It doesn't matter if you want to cause trouble. I will definitely pass this trial."

When Wang Xiaoke spoke, his eyes wandered to Luo He, and then quickly looked away.

Then...get the skills and give them to Luo He.

Zhou Xue sneered: "Looking for trouble? No, I just hope you can behave well and not let your Canyun Peak lose face here."

Wang Xiaoke showed no sign of weakness: "Humph, you don't need to say that."

The tension between the two grew stronger and stronger, and the atmosphere became tense.

The disciples around held their breath and watched the scene intently, their hearts filled with anticipation and nervousness.

Let’s fight, we’re really going to fight.

Elder Ran watched quietly from the side. He did not intervene, nor did he care too much about the confrontation between Zhou Xue and Wang Xiaoke.

As a member of the [Heavenly Book Pavilion], he pays more attention to academic knowledge.

The purpose of the trial that Zhou Xue was in charge of this time was to further perfect her own Great Way of Earth.

He wanted to see if any of the disciples participating in the trial this time could bring him any special discoveries.

"In that case, let's begin." Zhou Xue said coldly, and at the same time, she waved her hands. A wave of spiritual power emanated from her body, instantly activating the barrier on the platform.

Luo He was speechless when he saw Wang Xiaoke jumping onto the platform and looking at Zhou Xue with a fierce look on his face.

Is it really that urgent?

When others make a move, you just take it head-on.

The other party clearly had ulterior motives, but Wang Xiaoke was too easily fooled.

"Get ready, Wang Xiaoke!"

Zhou Xue stood on the platform, her eyes flashing. Spiritual energy began to gather in her palms, forming a brown-gray airflow. This airflow gradually grew in her palms, swirling and condensing, emitting powerful spiritual energy fluctuations that made the surrounding air seem thicker.

"The trial is simple. You just need to find which one is the real me."

As Zhou Xue finished speaking, the atmosphere around her suddenly changed. A brown-gray air current emanated from her body, rapidly swirling around her and gradually condensing into a solid earth armor.

The armor seemed to be composed of countless solid lumps of earth, fitting snugly to her form and protecting her tightly. The texture of the earth armor was clearly visible, exuding a rich earthy aura, appearing heavy and powerful.

Seeing this, Luo He in the audience couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Shukaku Shield, right?

Zhou Xue's transformation continued, and she soon emerged from the earthen armor. Beside her, a clay statue appeared, its appearance exactly like hers, lifelike.

Luo He understood this trick better, the art of earth clone.

"I've deliberately slowed down the speed so you can see it clearly, and now..."

Zhou Xue smiled lightly, with pride in her tone.

She took a deep breath and instantly released a gray-brown mist that enveloped the platform like rising smoke.

dong dong dong dong!

With bursts of roars, it seemed as if a huge force was surging on the platform, and a series of muffled sounds were heard, attracting the gazes of the surrounding disciples to stare at the platform in the fog.

When the fog dispersed a little, the disciples were surprised to find that dozens of vivid clay statues appeared on the stage, each of which looked exactly like Zhou Xue, while the real Zhou Xue had disappeared.

"Come, I'm in one of the clay statues. As long as you find me before the surrounding fog completely dissipates, you will pass the trial." Zhou Xue's echoing voice came from the fog.

"You can use any means, or do anything you want, as long as you can find me within this limited time!" Her voice was full of confidence and provocation.

Wang Xiaoke observed each clay statue calmly, his eyes slightly narrowed.

There is no breath at all, and the fluctuation of spiritual power is hidden very well. No wonder this guy is so confident.

Under normal circumstances, Wang Xiaoke would simply ignore Zhou Xue and walk away.

And now...

As Wang Xiaoke exhaled, her eyes changed.

He chose me and I wanted to win.

Chapter 4: Wang Xiaoke's Pride (K Chapter)

At the foot of the platform, Luo He saw this scene and raised his eyebrows. Since he had some understanding of Wang Xiaoke, her tense expression clearly meant that she had encountered a problem.

Luo He looked around and saw that the Tianming Sect disciples who were watching were also whispering to each other. Some experienced disciples began to discuss enthusiastically.

"The content of the trial is to find out the true body? This is troublesome. You see, that is the earth clone technique, which is not something that ordinary people can easily break." An older disciple said, with a hint of surprise in his tone.

"Yes, not only are there a large number of earth clone techniques, but each clone is almost identical to her original body, and the spiritual power fluctuations are difficult to distinguish. Moreover, these earth clones are very tough." Another disciple echoed, revealing a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"What's more, this trial also limits spiritual power, and can only be carried out at the level of Qi training. It will be difficult to find the real Zhou Xue. It may be necessary to have a certain understanding of the Great Way of Earth to see the clues." A seemingly experienced disciple added.

The Great Way of Earth?

Luo He began to carefully observe everything that was happening on the platform, and at the same time his Heavenly Demon Record responded.

[The Body of the Great Dao: Comprehending the Great Dao of Earth...]

On the high platform,

Zhou Xue's clay statues emanated a powerful earth spirit aura, enveloping the entire platform. Each clay statue was radiant with a gray-brown light, outlining a clear outline.

The clay statues look lifelike, and each one seems to be a replica of Zhou Xue. From facial expressions to body details, it is almost impossible to tell any difference with the naked eye.

They were arranged in a staggered pattern, forming a sea of ​​clay statues. The entire platform was like a maze, completely concealing Zhou Xue's true location. With the naked eye, it was impossible to tell which statue Zhou Xue was hiding in.

Wang Xiaoke stood on the high platform, gazing at these clay statues. She could feel the powerful spiritual energy emanating from each clay statue. These spiritual energies intertwined together, forming a powerful sense of oppression that made it almost impossible to breathe.

"Whatever you want to do? That's what you said."

Wang Xiaoke smacked his lips, and there was an obvious change in his body.

Her body began to radiate wisps of orange light, as if countless stars were twinkling around her. A burst of orange flames blossomed around her body, each spark like a tiny star, illuminating her surroundings. These flames danced at her fingertips, as if they had life.

Wang Xiaoke blew out a gentle breath, which stirred the orange light, causing it to converge into a tiny flame in the air. This tiny light began to spin, slowly merging into a warm fireball, which hovered in her palm, emitting a warm and dazzling light.

"Whoosh!" Wang Xiaoke blew gently, and the small flame spun several times in the air, growing larger and larger, gradually forming a swirling ball of flames that surrounded her. The flames spun faster and faster, forming a vortex of flames that enveloped her completely.

The disciples below the stage were all shocked by the sudden sight of fire and exclaimed in amazement.

Wang Xiaoke has the physique of a heavenly phoenix, and he has the innate phoenix divine fire in his body.

Although her spiritual power was suppressed at the Qi training stage by the small barrier set up by Elder Ran and she was unable to control her own innate spiritual fire, she could still use fire magic.

Controlling the flames, Wang Xiaoke rushed straight towards the clay statue on the platform.

Wang Xiaoke chose to attack at the first moment.

Ask the questions again during the call!

"boom!"

Orange flames, blazing with terrifying heat, rushed towards the clay statues. The flames danced in the air like blazing dragons, fiercely rushing towards their targets.

Seeing this, some newly initiated disciples couldn't help but exclaim: "Even if the spiritual power is suppressed to the Qi training stage, the power of this flame is still very strong!"

Wang Xiaoke’s idea was very simple. Under her phoenix fire, no matter which earth statue Zhou Xue hid in, she would have to come out obediently!

Burn it all!

The orange ring of fire was of terrifying temperature.

However, the other Tianming Sect disciples who had some understanding of the Earth Clone Technique shook their heads silently and sighed: "Too reckless."

Elder Ran, who was floating and watching on the side, shook his head silently.

What he wanted to see was not this kind of violent attack, but the tricks of the technique that were analyzed through the comprehension of the Great Way of Earth.

Rough, too rough.

The next moment, the blazing power of the flames collided with the earthen statue.

The clay statue wasn't consumed by the flames. Instead, something like ripples began to form on it. The ripples were like ripples on water, gentle and mysterious. The clay statue seemed to come alive. After a pause, the ripples unexpectedly bounced the flames back with a mysterious force.

The flames rushed towards Wang Xiaoke at an even more ferocious speed, as if to devour her. Wang Xiaoke's pupils shrank slightly. The flames were so fierce that she was swayed. It was too late to dodge. She could only cross her hands in front of her in an emergency, taking a defensive stance.

"Boom!"

The flames struck her arm, sparking a burst of fiery light, like a brilliant firework exploding in the air. The blazing flames instantly surrounded her, and the scorching air rushed towards her, making it almost impossible to breathe.

The flames were barely blocked by her defense, but the powerful impact still caused her to stagger slightly and step back a few steps. Her footsteps dragged a long trail on the ground, making her look particularly embarrassed.

Bounce!

"This?" Wang Xiaoke gritted his teeth and frowned.

When the spiritual energy is suppressed, it is not powerful enough to destroy these earthen statues.

Everyone gasped when they saw this scene. Zhou Xue's Earth Clone Technique far exceeded their expectations. This counterattack ability was surprisingly powerful.

"It seems that Zhou Xue has been prepared for this. I'm afraid Wang Xiaoke will suffer a loss." Someone whispered with a hint of worry in his tone.

Zhou Xue's echoing voice, its exact location inaudible, echoed from the platform: "Is that all? Not only did your attack fail to force me out, but it also caused the surrounding fog to disperse even faster."

There was a hint of mockery and pride in her voice.

Wang Xiaoke's expression changed slightly. She noticed that the fog had indeed dissipated partially, which meant that she had less time left.

"And these clay statues are not as simple as you think." Zhou Xue's voice continued to echo on the platform, as if coming from all directions, making it impossible to determine her exact location.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the clay statues on the platform began to move. They all took a step forward, and the ground shook as if a huge force was surging underground.

"Next, get baptized."

In front of these earth statues, earth spikes gathered together and turned into rows of sharp spikes, smashing towards Wang Xiaoke like a rainstorm.

These earth statues can also create earth spike attacks!

Zhou Xue set up a trap for Wang Xiaoke in this trial on the high platform.

Originally, according to the requirements set by her master, Master Tuyuan, she was not allowed to launch active attacks, so that those participating in the trial could safely observe and find the location of the earth statue where she was hiding.

In the contest with Wang Xiaoke, Zhou Xue didn't want her to have an easy time, so she chose a more intense method.

I must make Wang Xiaoke look bad!

Like a torrential rain, earth spikes covered the sky and attacked Wang Xiaoke...

Elder Ran, who was watching from the sidelines, frowned slowly upon seeing this, but he didn't say much.

For Elder Ran, the most important thing is to gain a deeper understanding of the Great Way of Earth; other things are not that important.

He would not say much about the way his disciple Zhou Xue was tested.

Zhou Xue dared to do this because she knew her master's temper very well.

On the high platform, Wang Xiaoke was attacked from all sides, with earth spikes rushing towards her. However, her expression remained unchanged and she reacted quickly.

Orange flames ignited around her body once again, forming a fiery barrier. Earth spikes collided with the barrier, crackling and clashing with the flames, sending up showers of sparks and dust.

While enduring the attack of Zhou Xue's earth spikes, Wang Xiaoke amplified his spiritual sense to survey every earth statue at the scene.

"In this field, not only is the spiritual power suppressed, but even the spiritual consciousness is suppressed?" Wang Xiaoke scanned the area with his spiritual consciousness and did not find anything unusual about any of the earth statues.

Their breath was very stable, and Zhou Xue hid it very well.

Since I couldn't feel Zhou Xue's breath, I couldn't tell which earth statue her real body was in.

In other words... we can only take a chance!

The surrounding disciples shook their heads silently when they saw Wang Xiaoke struggling to hold on to the attack.

This time, I definitely won't be able to complete the trial, right?

But Wang Xiaoke didn’t care about other people’s opinions at all. All she had eyes for were the dozens of clay statues on the platform.
