Chapter 140: Xiaomalei, My Friend! Keep Going!

they were shocked by the power of Zhu Sha bow in Fang Chen's hand. Its power was so great.Fang Chen coldly swept over the remaining members of the Swallow Heaven Clan.At this moment, they dared not co..."Ding Dong! Congratulations to both of you for identifying all the herbs! Rewards doubled!"

"Once you've fully cleared the game, the rewards will be issued together. Keep going!"

The little boy spoke again.

On the side, Zhao Shimai hadn't reacted yet, her big watery eyes wide with disbelief as she stared at Fang Chen.

Only then did she come to her senses when she heard the boy's voice.

"You, you understand Taoism"

Zhao Shi's watery eyes widened as she stared at Fang Chen, her voice trembling in disbelief.

Fang Chen smiled slightly and said, “I have a little understanding.”

"Are you an alchemist"

"To

"How many grades"

Fortunately, it's only a third-rank item.

"Three-grade!"

Zhao Shimai was stunned! Fang Chen was already a third-rank alchemist at such a young age!

"How old are you" she asked again.

Seventeen

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shimai was at a loss for words.

He's only seventeen and already a third-rank alchemist! Even in the Upper Realm, it takes at least twenty years to become a third-rank alchemist. He must be incredibly talented in alchemy to achieve this.

It's simply unbelievable. Fang Chen is so incredibly gifted in both martial arts and physical cultivation, but his alchemy skills are just as astounding.

Who would believe such luck!

"Alright, let's continue walking."

Fang Chendao.

Zhao Shimai was speechless for a moment, she could only obediently follow Fang Chen.

At the same time, doubts started to creep into her heart. Could it be that all the geniuses in the Lower Realm were this formidable now Even a random encounter was comparable to herself.

Not long after, they arrived at a spacious place again.

In the center there were nine giant pillars, covered with countless characters.

A boy's voice rang out again: "Ding dong! Second level! Wisdom Gate!"

The nine pillars are inscribed with celestial knowledge. As long as you can comprehend all nine pillars and cause them to shine, you will have passed.

However, this level has a time limit. You must light all nine pillars within an hour, or you will fail. Once you fail, the text on the nine pillars will change and will not repeat.

"Wisdom!

"

Zhao Shimai's eyes lit up. This was her forte!

She confidently said, "This is up to me! I can pass it on the first try!"

"Good"

Fang Chen didn't refuse either. Someone was testing the waters, wasn't that good

Zhao Shimai came to the first pillar and sat down, beginning to contemplate.

As expected of the first prodigy of Luotian Domain, a pillar lit up in just ten breaths.

Zhao Shimai was slightly pleased with herself, and came to the second pillar.

But the second one took her thirty breaths, and the longer it went on, the slower she got.

After an hour had passed, Zhao Shima had only lit seven candles.

And she was already sweating profusely, it was clear that she had given it her all.

"Again!"

She refuses to give up, she's starting again!

This time there was progress, illuminating eight giant pillars, but one is still missing.

"I don't believe it!"

She still wasn't convinced and continued to try.

But no matter how many times she tried, she ultimately failed.

When Fang Chen saw this, his brows furrowed slightly. Logically, with Zhao Shimai's talent, it shouldn't be difficult.

If even she fails, then perhaps there are almost no successful cultivators in the Eastern Divine Region.

"Let me add some enlightenment first, then I'll talk about Fang Chen," Fang Chen thought to himself.

He sat cross-legged, refining all ten drops of Sword Demon's blood into the Heavenly Dao Demon Bone.

The Heavenly Dao Demon Bones have a great effect on increasing comprehension. Fang Chen can quickly improve in his cultivation of martial arts, and that's exactly why.

He is not yet insightful enough to see the current situation clearly. Only by continuing to upgrade his Heavenly Dao Demon Bone can he discern some clues.

Ten drops of Sword Demon's blood merged into the Heavenly Dao Demon Bone, instantly elevating it to the next level.

Fang Chen opened his eyes and looked at the nine large pillars, but he still couldn't see anything.

"It seems like I have to go in to see what's going on," Fang Chen thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Zhao Shimai had already experienced it over ten times, but she still couldn't light up the nine pillars within an hour.

This made her increasingly anxious and dealt a significant blow to her.

Fang Chen saw this and shook his head slightly. Zhao Shimai was still too young, lacking experience in many ways.

He said, “Xiaomai’er, come out. I'll give it a try.”

Although Zhao Shimai was unwilling, she also knew that continuing to ponder was futile. She could only walk out in defeat.

"To comprehend nine colossal pillars in a single hour is utterly impossible.

"

She said, somewhat aggrieved.

Fang Chen didn't answer, just nodded and walked in.

He didn't immediately start to ponder, but rather observed first.

All nine pillars look exactly the same, and there's no way to tell what's wrong with them.

Seeing this, Fang Chen didn't look any further. He sat down and began to contemplate.

His speed wasn't as fast as Zhao Shimai's, even a few points slower.

The first column took twenty breaths of time, and the following columns were also getting slower.

An hour later, he had only realized the six roots pillars.

"He's not much stronger than me anyway," Zhao Shimai thought, feeling a little smug and more balanced.

It's not that she is weak, it took her an hour to realize she just couldn't do it.

"I see."

However, Fang Chen instead revealed a smile.

Zhao Shimai was taken aback: “Could he have gone senile”

Fang Chen ignored her and closed his eyes again, starting to contemplate.

The first pillar lit up again, for twenty breaths of time.

But after contemplating the first pillar, Fang Chen did not choose the second one, but instead went for the third.

"Hmm"

Zhao Shima was stunned, then immediately realized something.

Could it be the order!

Her eyes lit up: "Yes! That's why I always felt a sense of alienation when I had an epiphany, and wasted a lot of time. It turns out the order was wrong! I'm such a fool."

She tapped her head.

"He figured it out after just one try. How did he do that"

She tilted her head slightly, her large, watery eyes filled with confusion.

In just fifty breaths, Fang Chen had a realization about the westernmost pillar. Afterward, he went to the seventh pillar to continue his contemplation.

He keeps the comprehension time for each pillar around fifty breaths.

In just half an hour, Fang Chen had finished sensing all the pillars!

Ding dong! Congratulations on passing the level! The rewards will be distributed after you clear the level. The boy's voice rings out again.

As soon as the words left his mouth, the barrier that blocked their path shattered.

"Got it!" Zhao Shimai was very happy.

She looked at Fang Chen curiously and asked, "How did you figure that out"

Fang Chen smiled faintly and said, "Actually, it's not difficult. Each pillar contains a hint. Because you were too eager to comprehend all the pillars within an hour, you didn't notice

"When did you first become aware" she asked.

Fang Chen nodded. "Even you can't fully comprehend it, so I chose to improvise a little."

Zhao Shima looked at Fang Chen with a complex expression. Although the other was only a few years older than her, both his experience and insights were far superior to hers.

Though one may possess natural talent, it often proves insufficient on its own.

This left her feeling somewhat frustrated. As the number one genius of Luo Tianyu, was she really worse than just an ordinary person from a lower realm

Then, the two continued on.

This time they arrived at a place resembling ancient ruins, with Western Zhou filled with old and dilapidated buildings and traces of the passage of time.

"Ding dong!"

A boy's voice rang out again: "The final stage! All you have to do is one thing! That is, to survive!"

Boom!

The voice fell silent!

A tremendous roar echoed from within the ruins! Countless scattered fragments of wreckage gathered frantically and coalesced into a towering humanoid behemoth, standing three zhang tall!

This object is a towering rock of yellow hue, with colossal and unusually long arms. Its body is sturdy, and on its head sits only one crimson monstrous eye.

The aura it emanates! It possesses the combat strength of an early-stage Zhou Yuan Realm cultivator!

"This is the relic guardian, very strong, kid. So go on."

Zhao Shimai was not afraid but delighted: "Finally, this is my home turf!"

All along the way, she relied on Fang Chen, making her already proud self feel extremely stifled. Now, the opportunity to show her own strength is right in front of her, how could she not be excited!

Light danced in her hands, the spear reappearing once more.

Without any hesitation, I immediately jumped into action!

Bang!

But the next moment she was struck back by the ruins guardian!

Don't look at its huge body, but its speed is also very fast.

Fortunately, Zhao Shimai was not weak either, so she didn't get hurt.

"Wow, that's impressive!"

But she also realized the power of this ruin guardian.

"Come on, little wheat! You got this!"

Suddenly, Fang Chen's voice came from afar.

Zhao Shimai was taken aback. Fang Chen wasn't by her side just now, was he

She turned to face what made her furious.

Only to see Fang Chen hiding behind a piece of wreckage, cheering her on.

It's obvious he's not going to get on.dn't react."What what, what are you guys talking about"She blinked her big eyes, looking puzzled.Bing'er glared at her and said, "Don't ask what you should know, and ask what you shouldn't."Suddenly s...
