?

  The heavenly formation emerged from the grand hall.

  Lyu Yan Zhao looked calmly at the ninety-three cultivators standing in the hall who had passed the first test, his expression seemingly not bad.

  Zeng Xin remained expressionless and stood guard at his post, while the ten monks guarding the transmission arrays also kept a close eye on the ten transmission arrays.

  Of the first hundred Masters who took the assessment, seven failed in the end. The other ninety-three succeeded at different times.

  "The first batch of people who broke through the pass performed not badly, with sixty people's results considered qualified. I don't know how the second batch will perform."

  Lü Yanzhao seemed quite pleased and started chatting with his eight squad leaders.

  The ninety-three people who passed the first test below were slightly moved in their hearts. Everyone present had successfully passed the level, but Lü Yanzhao said that only sixty people's performance was qualified, which naturally referred to the time it took to pass the level. Each person calculated the time it took for them to pass the level in their minds, and those who were ranked behind couldn't help but reveal a few points of worry on their faces.

  "This group's performance is not bad, after all it's their first time entering the customs, can't find the knack in between, inevitably some negligence and mistakes, maybe from the second customs onwards, this score will change again." One of the team leaders seemed to be comforting them as he said.

  Lü Yanzhao nodded: "After the second pass is over, this score will be almost settled. I just don't know if anyone can successfully pass the third pass. I still have some expectations."

  ……

  The monks below listened to Lü Yan's conversation with the eight team leaders, and they all made up their minds secretly that they must perform well in the second round.

  ……

  The first pass of Tianji formation.

  Li Hui didn't stop at all after breaking through the second line of defense, and soon he left the twenty-seven puppets that were intercepting him in front far behind.

  After flying forward for hundreds of feet, Li Hui's figure finally stopped in front of a circular transmission array, where nine puppets tightly surrounded the entire transmission array.

  The nine puppets in front of you are all wrapped in black spiritual armor, four of them holding flying swords, and the remaining five puppets each grasping a heavy hammer!

  Li Hui's face changed slightly, and he felt a bit tricky.

  After breaking through two roadblocks in a row, Li Hui had already figured out some tips for getting through.

  These puppets have tenacious bodies, fierce attacks, and can form simple combinations to attack. The only weakness is speed!

  The best way to pass is to get rid of the entanglement of the first batch of puppets and rush to the second line of defense, break through the second line of defense before the first batch of puppets comes to join forces, and quickly advance towards the last line of defense.

  This principle is easy to say, but it's not easy to do. In the first line of defense, nine puppets use flying swords for remote attacks, forming a dense sword net through mutual coordination. Li Hui is most skilled in the way of swordsmanship, which allows him to quickly find the weaknesses in the attack and pass through swiftly.

  And the second line of defense, not only did the number of puppets double, but also used long-range attacks to coordinate and attack more entanglements, with fewer gaps between attacks. Li Hui's dual cultivation method adopted a brute force breakthrough approach, which could forcibly repel the physically resilient puppet and clear a path.

  Those monks who failed to pass the test were probably trapped by these puppets and could not escape, so they had no choice but to crush the jade token and give up on passing the test.

  Looking at the nine puppets in front of him, who were all set up in a defensive posture, Li Hui understood the intention behind placing these nine puppets here.

  The cultivators who have managed to break through the first and second lines of defense and arrive here probably already understand the key to passing this level, but this last line of defense is clearly designed to hold up those who try to pass, trapping them here. All they need to do is wait for the puppets from the first and second lines of defense to arrive, and under the siege of thirty-six puppets, it will be impossible to pass.

  Nine puppets, four of them attack from a distance, five use heavy hammers to attack at close range. As long as the transmission array is guarded, wait for the remaining puppets to arrive and everything will be fine!

  Li Hui's face was solemn as he gazed at the nine puppets that were as still as sculptures, but in his heart, he knew these puppets weren't just for show. If he tried to charge through the defensive line and into the transmission array, they would probably start a frenzied attack immediately.

  "Time is running out, if all 36 puppets gather, there's no chance of escape."

  "Ah!"

  Li Hui's eyes flashed with determination, his body moved swiftly, the purple electric sword in his hand shone brightly as he charged towards the transmission array.

  Just as Li Hui entered the transmission array, a bright light suddenly flashed on the nine puppets, and then the nine puppets moved together, no longer in their original carved shape.

  "Hehehe!"

  Four flying swords came simultaneously, with slightly different angles between them, intersecting each other and forming a sword net that enveloped Li Hui.

  The sword light quickly engulfed Li Hui, and the four flying swords seemed to have grown eyes as they crisscrossed each other in a killing spree against Li Hui.

  But this flying sword net couldn't trap Li Hui, a master of such great swordsmanship!

  Li Hui's spiritual awareness tightly locked onto the four flying swords, but his body agilely darted through the gaps between the four flying swords, and in an instant, he had already passed through the sword net and arrived in front of the nine puppets.

  "Ah!"

  At this moment, the first puppet holding a heavy hammer moved, and the hammer swept towards Li Hui with an unusually fast whistling sound.

  Li Hui's heart skipped a beat as the purple electric sword light flashed and struck the heavy hammer on the rack.

  "Boom!"

  A surge of immense power came through the Purple Lightning Sword, and Li Hui only felt a slight numbness in his arm. The Purple Lightning Sword was shaken and lightly trembled, and he flew sideways to the right.

  "Hee hee hee!"

  Just as Li Hui's body was knocked flying to one side, the four flying swords made a swift turn and killed again.

  Li Hui twisted his waist, and his figure blurred for a moment. The four flying swords whizzed past him.

  "Ah!"

  At this time, a puppet on the right had already raised its heavy hammer and was about to strike down!

  Li Hui had just dodged a series of attacks, his body unsteady, when his spiritual sense detected the heavy hammer falling, and he quickly thrust his Purple Lightning Sword forward.

  "Pffft!"

  Zi Dian Jian's sword tip landed on the heavy hammer, producing a muffled sound. Li Hui's entire body flew backward in mid-air, retreating several zhang before finally coming to a stop.

  At this time, the nine puppets guarding the transmission array did not pursue them again. Each of them stood still and remained in place to continue their protection.

  Li Hui's face didn't look too good, if he had been slightly careless just now, he would have been injured by the dense attack of the nine puppets. The nine puppets were guarding such a narrow place, but it was also the only way for the adventurers to pass through, which really made people headache.

  "Knock knock knock!"

  In the distance, the sound of puppets running could be heard. Li Hui's face changed color, and he was afraid that it wouldn't take long for those remaining puppets to surround them.

  "There must be a way! If this last line of defense is really so unbreakable, then the seven people who failed in the first round wouldn't be the only ones."

  Li Hui's mind suddenly became calm and he carefully thought back to the puppet's reaction during the previous round of attacks and their current positions.

  Four puppets using flying swords and five puppets using heavy hammers are arranged in a crisscross pattern, forming a circular shape that surrounds the transmission array at its core. This formation allows for adjacent hammer-wielding puppets to strike back anyone who breaks through the sword-wielding puppets' blockade and gets close.

  The transmission array is not large, and the distance between the nine puppets is within the range that can be mutually responsive.

  Li Hui suddenly raised an eyebrow: "Haha, so that's it! This formation may be troublesome for others, but don't think you can stop me!"

  At this time, Li Hui had a bold guess in his heart, that the transmission array should be activated as long as someone could stand on it, if it needed time to activate, wouldn't the nine puppets wake up and catch them off guard?

  "Ah!"

  Li Hui held the Purple Electric Sword and transformed into a purple light beam, shooting forward once again.

  "Hehehe!"

  Those four flying sword puppets launched simultaneously, and the four flying swords intersected again to form a sword net that strangled towards Li Hui.

  Li Hui's body distorted for a moment, and he immediately became blurry. The next moment, he had already passed through the sword net and was only a few feet away from the transmission array.

  "Hiss!"

  At this moment, the Purple Electric Sword suddenly flew out of his hand and shot towards the heavy hammer puppet between the two flying sword puppets in front.

  Li Hui's body didn't stop, but his body surface emitted a faint reddish-golden light.

  His entire skeleton crackled with a brittle snapping sound, Li Hui's hands clenched into fists as he rapidly charged towards the heavy puppet.

  "Pffft!"

  That puppet swung the heavy hammer in its hand and struck the Purple Lightning Sword flying, the Purple Lightning Sword trembled and flew to one side, looking like it was about to fall.

  Just as the puppet swung its heavy hammer and sent the Purple Electric Sword flying, Li Hui had already landed in front of the puppet, a faint smile floating at the corner of his mouth. His two fists, emitting a golden light, struck out simultaneously, heavily pounding the puppet's body.

  "Boom!"

  The puppet's heavy hammer, which had knocked the Purple Electric Sword flying, had not yet been withdrawn when Li Hui struck it down with one blow, sending it flying backwards and crashing into another puppet, both of which fell backwards together.

  At this moment, Li Hui had quickly flown through the empty space that had just appeared, towards the transmission array in the middle, and at the same time, he beckoned with his hand, the Purple Electric Sword flew back and fell into his hand.

  "Hoo-hoo!"

  Several puppets came from behind and attacked together, while the footsteps of the puppets in the front two defensive lines were getting closer and closer.

  Li Hui held the Purple Electric Sword in his hand, his spirit not daring to relax even a little, always ready to defend against the falling attack.

  Just then, Li Hui's footsteps finally landed on the transmission array, accompanied by a "hum" sound, a white light rose from the transmission array, and Li Hui's figure disappeared instantly.
