?

  After returning to his own room, Li Hui sat on the bed and closed his eyes to meditate after briefly recalling today's trial.

  Although he had a pleasant conversation with Lou on the way back, they were just acquaintances after all, and Li Hui didn't take it to heart.

  On the second day, early in the morning, all the cultivators who participated in the assessment walked out of their rooms. Some had faces full of expectation and confidence as they headed towards the Tianji Array Great Hall, while others left dejectedly with disappointment on their faces.

  Two hundred and seventy masters who participated in the second round of assessment stood in a neat queue within the Tianji Formation Array Great Hall.

  The person in charge of the assessment at the entrance is still Squad Leader Yu Cheng.

  Cheng Ling's eyes swept across and had already counted the number of people participating in the assessment. Two hundred and seventy people were now all in position.

  "Today, you will be taking the second test of the Tianji Formation. You have all passed the first test and have a certain understanding of the formation, but I still need to remind you that this test is much more perilous than the first one. If you encounter any danger, don't try to tough it out, quickly crush the jade token and transmit yourself out." Yu Cheng's face was somewhat solemn as he spoke.

  The assessment continues, and the city guards who are guarding the transmission array begin to distribute the transmission jade symbols. As before, 100 people are divided into one batch, and they go up to the transmission array in sequence.

  Li Hui was in the first batch this time, and Lou Sufeng was also in the first batch.

  After Li Hui walked into the transmission array, the cultivator guarding the transmission array cast a spell, but the location of the spell was different from the previous day. Apparently, the other end of the transmission array was connected to a different place. The transmission array flashed white light, and Li Hui disappeared immediately.

  Li Hui held the Purple Electric Sword in his hand and vigilantly observed the place where he was now.

  Before him was no longer the narrow corridor of the first pass, but a huge circular hall with an area of over 200 square meters. The four walls of the hall were lined with nine gateways, each about one meter wide and two meters high, behind which it was dark and unclear.

  Li Hui tried to extend his spiritual sense to explore these gates, but found that his spiritual sense was actually sealed within a range of five zhang around his body, only half as much as the first gate.

  Li Hui's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he continued to spread out his spiritual awareness, carefully moving forward while observing the situation in the great hall.

  "Transmission Array!"

  Li Hui's eyes lit up, and at the other end of the hall, there was a circular stone platform about one zhang in diameter, which was exactly the same as the transmission array in the first pass.

  "From here to the transmission array is only two hundred zhang away. If we fly with our swords, we can arrive in just a few breaths!"

  Li Hui estimated the distance to the transmission array, but his heart was hesitant. This distance would naturally be extremely fast with a flying sword, but those nine gates must have been strange and wouldn't let him pass so easily.

  "We can't just waste away like this!"

  A moment later, Li Hui's eyes flashed with determination, and with a wave of his hand, the Purple Lightning Sword transformed into a giant sword several feet long. He flew forward, transforming into a purple light that shot towards the transmission array.

  At this moment, a faint light leaked out from behind nine door holes at the same time.

  "Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"

  Suddenly, a white light shot out from each of the nine gateways, all locking onto Li Hui in mid-air.

  Li Hui was in mid-air, but he was also paying attention to the situation in these nine gates at all times. At this moment, he detected that nine white lights were shooting out, and his flying sword urged him to try to force his way through the encirclement of light.

  White light flashed and had already arrived at Li Hui's front five zhang, entering the spiritual sense induction range, but it was a giant flying wheel with several feet in diameter, each flying wheel had nine teeth, rapidly rotating towards Li Hui.

  Nine flying wheels flew out of the nine gates, and at this time, Li Hui was trapped in the center from all directions.

  Li Hui's face sank, his flying sword suddenly lowered and stuck close to the ground, dodging the wheel's attack, and continued to fly forward.

  "Hee hee hee!"

  At this moment, the mutation was reborn. The gear teeth on the nine flying wheels suddenly detached from the flying wheel. A total of 81 gear teeth turned into 81 sharp blades and flew towards Li Hui.

  In an instant, Li Hui was engulfed in a flurry of swords and shadows.

  "Ding ding ding!"

  A flurry of swift sword clashes, in the nick of time, the flying sword was withdrawn and grasped in hand, a purple sword aura formed around the body, blocking all the sharp blades and counterattacking.

  Eighty-one wheel teeth were all knocked flying by Li Hui's long sword, but in mid-air they made a single rotation and reformed into nine giant flying wheels, which flew back towards the gate.

  Li Hui had already fallen to the ground, but his heart was still racing with excitement. This move was truly vicious, and ordinary people would never have thought that after dodging the flying wheel attack, there would be an even more ferocious follow-up attack hidden behind it.

  "Hoo-hoo-hoo!"

  At this moment, nine silver lights shot out from the nine gates, and nine silver puppets appeared, surrounding Li Hui.

  Li Hui Ling's eyes locked onto the nine silver puppets, all of which emitted auras that only mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators possessed. Their bodies radiated an icy silver glow, and each held a long knife that also shone with a cold silver light.

  "Hah! Hah!"

  Nine puppets flew towards Li Hui at the same time, nine long knives flashing with cold light from nine different angles.

  Li Hui's pupils slightly contracted as he observed the nine puppets' attacks forming a tight coordination, and for a moment, he couldn't find any weakness.

  "Hee hee hee!"

  The purple electric sword light was magnificent, but it instantly transformed into dozens of seemingly identical sword shadows. A cold sword aura shot out from the tip of each sword, shooting towards the nine puppets.

  Sword Shadow Split Light! Sword Energy Technique!

  In an instant, Li Hui simultaneously performed two swordsmanship techniques, coordinating with each other to attack the nine puppets.

  For a moment, sword energy was everywhere, and all nine puppets were simultaneously hit by multiple swords, with those that were struck retreating several feet back.

  However, the Purple Electric Sword was unable to leave even a slight scratch on the puppets. These puppets paused for a moment before pouncing at Li Hui once again.

  But Li Hui would not let go of this momentary emptiness. His figure flashed, and he had already broken through the encirclement of the nine puppets, flying towards the transmission array.

  "Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"

  At this moment, nine huge flying wheels shot out from the gate again, and when they flew to Li Hui's front five zhang, they suddenly turned into eighty-one sharp blades and came electrically.

  Li Hui felt a slight headache, but he was also mentally prepared for this. The Purple Electric Sword transformed into dozens of sword shadows again, and the sword energy shot out in all directions, knocking these sharp blades flying.

  "Hoo-hoo-hoo!"

  At this time, nine puppets flew over again.

  Li Hui had no choice but to slow down his movements and strike back at these puppets once again.

  ……

  In the Tianji formation, at the entrance of the main hall, when the time to start passing the level was more than a moment away, the large transmission array in the center suddenly flashed white light, and a cultivator with a pale face appeared in the array, with a long wound on his left leg still bleeding profusely.

  "Quickly stop the bleeding and treat the wound!" Yu Cheng seemed to have anticipated this situation and called out calmly.

  Then a city guard rushed over and took out a jade bottle to sprinkle some white powder on the legs of the cultivator who had just come out of the formation.

  The masters waiting around for the next round of assessment were all pale, and in just over a minute, someone had already failed and been transmitted out, looking seriously injured.

  In less than five minutes, another monk was teleported out, this time without injury, but also with a look of horror on his face.

  ……

  The Tianji formation emerges from the grand hall.

  Lü Yanzhao was sipping on a cup of spiritual tea and chatting with his eight squad leaders in a leisurely manner.

  "How many cultivators do you think will be able to pass the second trial?"

  A team leader at the bottom thought for a moment and replied, "This level is extremely dangerous from the start and will be in intense combat all the time. Those who are weak may be eliminated soon. If they can hold on at first, as long as they are careful afterwards and spend more time passing the level, there is still a good chance of success, it depends on the next period of time."

  Lü Yanzhao nodded in agreement with the young captain's point of view.

  ……

  Within two quarters of an hour after the start, a total of thirty-two monks failed to pass and quit. Among them, eleven people were injured to varying degrees.

  Two quarters later, no monks failed and quit again.

  Half an hour had passed, yet no one was able to pass through and exit. However, Lü Yan Zhao's face did not show a single thread of anxiety, as if he had long expected this outcome.

  Another moment passed, and a white light rose from a certain transmission array. Then Li Hui appeared in the array.

  Lü Yanzhao's face showed a few more surprised expressions, and then turned into a smile. He glanced at the eight small team leaders under his hand: "It seems that Li Hui has set another record."

  This time, even Zeng Xin couldn't help but take a second glance at Li Hui when registering his score.

  Li Hui also noticed the expressions of the crowd and looked at the situation in the hall, realizing that he was probably going to be the first cultivator to break through again.

  His face didn't change color at all, and he walked aside and stood casually.

  This level has no shortcut, it's completely relying on brute force to break through the puppet's attack one by one, advancing a little bit and then being blocked again by the flying wheel, getting trapped, breaking out again, and finally reaching the teleportation array.

  Another moment passed, and white light rose again on the transmission array. This time, it was Lou Suifeng who walked out.

  At this time, the building looked a bit disheveled in the wind, and the spiritual armor on its body was also damaged in several places.

  Lou stepped forward, his face slightly anxious as he registered the results. He walked to the front of the spacious hall, reached into a small pouch at his waist and stroked it, and in a flash of light, a massive black tiger appeared in the hall.

  This black tiger's body was over two zhang long, but at this moment its aura was somewhat weak. The glossy black fur on its body had also dulled, and several wounds were still bleeding.

  "Black Flame Tiger!"

  Lü Yanzhao's face moved slightly, and he called out in a low voice.

  P.S. First update seeking collection! There's another one! Speaking of which, updating every day is indeed late, but there's no way around it, can only go crazy typing after work, guaranteeing two updates a day.
