Without a heroic spirit, I can only end it myself.

The second round of selection obviously cannot be held online.

People guessed that the assessment venue was a secret realm of death fighting transformed from the Taixuan ruins.

But he never thought that the "enemy" announced by the Spirit Master Association was not a heroic spirit.

Instead, they are extremely weird creatures that seem to be formed by randomly joining together the limbs of various creatures.

The appearance of this creature completely goes against human aesthetics. Just looking at the appearance makes you feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

The enemy of gray energy!

The mid-to-high-level spiritual masters who knew the truth were surprised by the association's choice.

Ordinary people who don't know the truth, as well as most low-level spiritual masters, are purely curious and confused.

"What is this? A new breed of ruin monster?"

"Which high-level heroic spirit's summons?"

"The appearance of these monsters seems too eye-catching. Can they really be used as enemies to bring out the potential of the selectors?"

Jiang He felt emotional when he saw the information released by the association.

"Is it finally going to start..."

Legend has it that when the spiritual masters select practitioners, they can also discuss and decide in private.

The reason for the uproar is more to take this opportunity to let people get in touch with and understand the concept of the enemy.

Just like the ruins of time——

Those who often watch heroic battles to the death are actually no strangers to the Time Ruins environment.

However, they did not know the significance of the gray world. They just thought that it was a place transformed by the Spirit Master Association to facilitate the heroic spirits to fight.

Today's Spirit Master Association has decided to lift the veil of the enemy and expose the secrets to the sun.

"It is impossible for the association to throw out all concepts such as the Gray Tribe and Time Realm."

"Most of the time the enemy's existence will be introduced first, so that people can understand and adapt step by step."

"Otherwise, some mentally fragile people may not be able to accept the truth of the world and do some irreparable things..."

Jiang He was not too worried.

Since the Spirit Master Association has made this choice, it must have made a detailed plan.

Like these gray enemies.

It is impossible for the association to really capture one or two Gray Tribes and use them as assessment targets.

Most of them are imitations made using the skills of heroic spirits.

After all, most gray enemies only have the most basic attributes, which are very simple to imitate.

Jiang He took care of himself a little, then left home and went to the location given by the Spirit Master Association.

…

In this selection, all the Yuling Four Kingdoms participated.

Therefore, the venue for the second round of selection was set inside a time ruins on an island in the high seas.

The staff of the spiritual masters associations from various countries have already gone over and arranged the venue.

The selectors like Ega need to report to the Kyoto Spiritual Master Association first, and then, under the leadership of the legendary spiritual master, go to the island time ruins——

You must know that the spiritual masters who can pass the first round are absolute geniuses of all ages.

If something unexpected happens to them, the younger generation of Xia Kingdom will be disconnected, which will be an unacceptable loss for the entire world of Yuling.

Legend has it that the spiritual masters did not dare to be careless and personally escorted these spiritual masters to participate in the selection.

As for why the selection is not held in China...

The spiritual masters of the Qiu Kingdom did not trust the spiritual masters of the Three Kingdoms and were worried that they would secretly tamper with the data and use this opportunity to seize the resources of the Qiu Kingdom.

The Three Kingdoms Spirit Master sneered, but agreed with him.

They also did not trust the character of Qiu Guo's spiritual master.

The venue was simply placed in public waters and supervised by four legendary spiritual masters to ensure that it would not favor any one country.

As for safety issues on the road, there is no need to worry at all with the immortals and heroes around.

When the spiritual masters arrived, they saw the White-browed Immortal wave his sleeves, and everyone fell into darkness instantly.

Before they could panic, the light returned.

Hundreds of spiritual masters were already standing on a sunny beach, surrounded by the boundless sea.

In the blink of an eye, it spans thousands of miles.

It was the first time for many spiritual masters to see an immortal god take action, and they were shocked and excited.

This is the power of the gods! ?

Can they also summon such powerful heroic spirits?

even……

If they pass the selection, will they also have such power in the future?

Thinking of the future, the spiritual masters became more and more eager for cultivation qualifications.

At this time, a faint voice came from not far away.

"Listen to me."

"As long as you can pass this round of selection and prove your worth... no matter what the results of the next round are, you will get generous rewards."

"Power, wealth, love, everything."

"But if it fails..."

The Xia Kingdom's spiritual masters looked up.

Not far away, the spiritual masters of Qiu Kingdom also arrived at the beach and gathered together.

The legendary spiritual master of the Qiu Kingdom stood in front of them and spoke indifferently.

"Give me a spouse who will accept the assignment from the association honestly and continue your value."

"..."

Jiang He frowned.

The situation in Qiu Kingdom is not a secret, and can even be directly checked online——

In this country, interests come first, and the theory of blood is extremely important. Families, wealthy families, and associations are criss-crossed, and the hierarchy is so strict that it is almost solidified.

Even if ordinary people awaken the talent of controlling spirits, they cannot turn around and tear a piece of flesh from other people's mouths.

You can only improve your status step by step through marriage.

In most cases, as the legendary spiritual master of the Autumn Kingdom said, it is used as a breeding tool to purify the bloodline, adding bricks and tiles to those wealthy families and creating "talents".

Pass on your talents.

Compared with the social environment of Xia Kingdom, it is much harsher.

At least, many of these talented spiritual masters from the Xia Kingdom came from ordinary families. At this time, they frowned silently when they heard the naked words of the legendary spiritual master from the Qiu Kingdom.

On the contrary, the Qiu Kingdom spiritual masters responded in unison as if they were wearing thick masks and could not see many emotions.

"clear."

"..."

When Mr. Gu saw those young and indifferent faces, he felt sorry and angry in his heart, but he couldn't help but feel angry.

He looked at the Xia Kingdom's spiritual masters, his mood improved slightly, and he spoke gently.

"Don't worry too much, just do your best."

"There is no need to regret if you fail. You will still have the opportunity to participate in the selection in the future."

The number of resources is not fixed.

As long as the legendary spiritual masters continue to explore the secret realm, the resources currently consumed will be replenished.

Even, according to the development trend of the spiritual world, if the legendary spiritual masters go one step further, summon more ancient heroic spirits, and explore older mythical secret realms...

The number of legendary resources is bound to skyrocket.

Even if it fails, it is only temporary.

Compared with the legendary spiritual masters from the Qiu Kingdom next to them, Mr. Gu's attitude made the spiritual masters from the Xia Kingdom feel warm in their hearts.

"clear!"

…

Didn't wait much longer.

Spirit masters from the two countries, Spring and Winter, arrived on the island one after another.

All the personnel arrived, and under the leadership of the legendary spiritual masters, they entered the interior of the time ruins through the entrance near the beach.

At the market venue, the staff were already ready.

After just restating the rules, the selection officially began.

The first ones to be tested are the spiritual masters under the age of twenty-five, and the order is from high to low.

The first tester was none other than Ruan Xueyun, who had the highest overall score.

She suppressed the nervousness in her heart and entered the Shixu venue, calling in her heart.

With the fluctuation of space, a beautiful woman with fox ears and fox tail walked out of time.

She sensed the tension in Ruan Xueyun's heart and spoke softly.

"Xueyun, relax."

"Um."

Ruan Xueyun exhaled gently, and with Ruan Xiangyu's help, her mood returned to calm, and then she smiled.

"Xiangyu, please."

Ruan Xiangyu smiled and nodded, stepping forward, and their bodies overlapped.

The next moment, Ruan Xueyun's figure did not change, but his aura suddenly strengthened, and his eyes seemed to light up like stars, with a sparkling look.

[Possessed by Heroic Spirits]!

"let's start."

At the same time as she spoke, a wisp of the gray cloud that filled the Shixu site separated and fell.

After touching the ground, it transformed into an eight-armed and eight-legged monster with the head of a beast and the body of a beast. It brandished a gray halberd, galloped towards it, and smashed it down with the wind!

Facing the attack, Ruan Xueyun raised his right hand, and the ink gathered in his palm, turning into an ink sword, which steadily blocked the attack.

The battle has begun.

at the same time.

Scenes of this battle were also broadcast to the outside world through the lines of the heroic battle to the death, and the speed was slowed down to a level that ordinary people could accept.

The Spirit Control Master Association also specially deployed commentators to explain the battle situation——

"...The first person to conduct the test is Ruan Xiangyu from Xia Kingdom."

"In the first round of testing, her comprehensive score reached full marks, which is quite amazing, and the heroic spirit she contracted with is the epic heroic spirit from the Meng Dynasty, Fairy White Fox..."

"According to the rules, Fairy White Fox did not do it herself, but possessed Ruan Xiangyu's body as the source of power."

"The enemy she faces is the gray gas monster from the rift of time..."

Possession by a heroic spirit is a very physically demanding act.

Only spiritual masters with special talents will choose to fight with possession in the heroic death match.

As for the spiritual master taking the lead and fighting in person, people have never heard of it and find it extremely novel.

However, what made them even more curious was the information revealed in the narrator's words.

"What is the ruins of time? The new name of the ruins?"

"The cracks... are you talking about those black cracks in the sky?"

"What is a gray gas monster? Why have you never heard of it?"

"Isn't this a dedicated death fighting venue?"

The commentator from the Spirit Master Association aroused the curiosity of the audience.

So, he put aside the fierce battle and started explaining the background of Shixu.

"The Taixuan ruins that landed on Blue Star are not eternal. They will lose all color as time changes..."

The audience hears these secrets for the first time.

Only then did I know that the Taixu ruins, which had been developed by the Spirit Master Association for hundreds of years, would actually undergo these changes.

For a moment, I even forgot about the fierce battle and was completely immersed in the narrator's narration.

The narrator doesn't go too in-depth, though.

It just stopped when it was mentioned that the gray gas flowed out of the time gap and suddenly turned into a monster, causing casualties among the researchers.

He finally remembered his duty and re-explained the battle scene.

"good!"

"Ruan Xueyun actually successfully summoned Fairy White Fox's spirit weapon!"

"Only when the spiritual master and the heroic spirit are connected and have a deep bond, can they use the heroic spirit's possession to exert the legendary power of the heroic spirit!"

"According to the broadcaster's screen switching, we can see that Mr. Gu showed a satisfied smile. Obviously, he is quite satisfied with Ruan Xueyun's performance!"

"The legendary spiritual master from the Autumn Kingdom, but his face is not very pretty..."

"Has she already reserved a spot in advance?!"

"let us wait and see!"

The narrator gets emotional.

However, many viewers were still immersed in the topic just now, thinking about the background significance of the Time Ruin Rift and the origin of the gray gas monster.

However, because the narrator retains a considerable degree of information, the threat of Time Ruins is weakened.

In addition, Ruan Xueyun, possessed by a heroic spirit, only exerted a fraction of the power of the White Fox Fairy, and was able to fight back and forth with the gray monster.

It seems that the strength of the gray monster is nothing more than this.

Therefore, they did not feel much threat, and were more curious.

Why was Shixu born?

What's behind the rift?

Unfortunately, no matter how they asked, the commentator said no more and seemed to be completely immersed in the battle.

Until Ruan Xueyun burst out with spiritual power and defeated the gray monster, he was exhausted and released from possession...

The narrator didn't give any more information.

…

After the heroic spirit's possession was lifted, Ruan Xiangyu reappeared and immediately supported Ruan Xueyun.

The latter showed a tired smile.

"Thanks!"

This is to thank Ruan Xiangyu for not rejecting him just now, but for guiding and helping her use the power of Lingwu, thus successfully defeating the enemy.

Ruan Xiangyu responded with a smile.

Recently, she rarely stayed with the spiritual master. She often followed the young master, traveling around the world and painting mountains and rivers.

However, this did not affect her bond with the spiritual master, but instead improved a lot——

Where can she find such a reasonable spiritual master who can support her in pursuing the past?

"You have not rejected my power, which is also the key to using spiritual martial arts."

Not far away, several legendary spiritual masters looked at the two people who were smiling at each other, chin slightly, and gave high marks one after another.

Even the legendary spiritual master of the Qiu Kingdom did not forcefully suppress it and gave a relatively reasonable score.

The person ranked behind Ruan Xiangyu was a Spring Kingdom spiritual master.

The heroic spirit he contracted with was the first-generation Emperor Meng. He also received a perfect score in the first round and showed an excellent record in the subsequent possession battle.

In fact, it's not just him.

Almost all of the top ten spiritual masters have near-perfect ratings, and they are the proud ones of all countries.

Even the spiritual master from Qiu Kingdom also showed good results in the second round of tests——

For some heroic spirits who value profit but not love, everything is easily negotiable if the price is in place.

"Standing here are the most powerful geniuses of our generation, with the potential to become legendary spiritual masters..."

"The performance was perfect."

"In this case, I should go all out."

Jiang He nodded slightly.

Due to the limitations of Dragon Slayer's era, it was inconvenient for him to display various magical moves. At most, he could only use Jing Chao's techniques.

It is equivalent to natural self-repression.

Facing so many current geniuses, he has suppressed them to a certain level.

If we continue to restrain ourselves, wouldn't it be a shame if we fail to rank among the best?

It's better to show your talent openly.

"Let a few legendary spiritual masters take a look at the deep bond between Dragon Slayer and me."

"Jaga!"

The fighting speed of heroic spirits is already fast, and with the extra cost of personal intervention, they can't last long.

Jiang He was ranked ninth and soon heard the call from the staff.

Several legendary spiritual masters looked at him walking towards the venue, and their hearts moved slightly.

"At only sixteen years old, he is ranked ninth on the list, showing such great potential..."

"How will he perform next?"

Mr. Gu looked at Jiang He expectantly.

But I saw him walking into the venue, setting up his posture, and seemed to have no intention of summoning the heroic spirit, but instead shouted directly.

"let's start."

Mr. Gu was stunned. Where is this child's heroic spirit?

The white-browed immortal sat next to him, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and answered Mr. Gu's confusion through the contract.

"in his body."

But in the venue, the gray energy fell and turned into a strange stitched horse, rushing towards him.

Facing the gray monster, he still did not summon the heroic spirit, but instead made a gesture of drawing his sword.

As the palms were held empty, there seemed to be a dragon's roar.

Infinite black aura spurted out from the palm of his hand and turned into a sharp sword. The black magic dragon wandered on the hilt and finally stopped on the wrist.

Lingwu: [Demon Dragon Sword]

At the same time, the demonic flames spewed out and wrapped around his body, seemingly turning into black flowing clouds or pitch-black armor.

Skill: [Demon Flame]

He held the magic dragon sword in his hand, moved his steps, and rushed towards the gray monster horse.

In the blink of an eye, black lightning flashed across the sky and the earth, and the strange seam horse was shattered into pieces and dissipated into gray gas.

Sword Technique: [Lumen].

Jiang He turned around. Under the dark armor, his face seemed to overlap with that of the true savior in Taixuan's history, and he spoke calmly.

"Anymore."

"..."

In the Shixu venue, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Mr. Gu opened his mouth but stopped talking.

Spiritual martial arts, skills, sword techniques...

To be able to display these powers, it must be possessed by a heroic spirit.

However, there are fluctuations in summoning heroic spirits, and it is impossible not to be noticed. In other words...

"He was already possessed by a heroic spirit before we set off, and it continues to this day?"

The white-browed immortal replied.

"Maybe sooner."

Mr. Gu fell into silence.

After a moment, he hesitated and spoke.

"This child...could it be the reincarnation of the Dragon-Slaying Lord?"
