Chapter 291: Hellish Difficulty!

"The two of you, stay!"

The Spirit of Wind and Thunder pointed at Ling Feng and Du Shaoling while digging into its ear, a playful smile tugging at the corners of its mouth.

"You're making me stay?"

Du Shaoling hesitated for a moment, feeling displeased but not daring to defy the Spirit of Wind and Thunder.

The others looked at each other, wondering what good thing the Spirit of Wind and Thunder had for Du Shaoling and Ling Feng to stay behind.

"

Hmph!

"

The Spirit of Wind and Thunder snorted coldly and then cursed, "Damn it, aren't you going in yet? Do I have to reward you with a few 'big supplement pills'?"

Before the words could even fall, except for Du Shaoling and Ling Feng, everyone immediately rushed into the luminous barrier behind the Spirit of Wind and Thunder, afraid of being too slow and having to endure the Spirit of Wind and Thunder's blue mess...

Though its boogers weren’t real, the nauseating feeling was undeniably vivid!

"Brother, take care of yourself." Ye Nanfeng glanced at Ling Feng, chuckling. "And if you really pass the ninth level and get nine treasured items, I won't ask for more. Just give me five to eight."

Ling Feng rolled his eyes, resisting the urge to kick Ye Nanfeng's butt. "Alright, just go in quickly!"

Li Bufan clenched his fists, a spark of battle spirit flashing in his eyes as he deeply looked at Ling Feng. He clearly wanted to compete with him to see who could reach a higher level.

Ling Feng pursed his lips, unconcerned.

He had only one goal: to pass the ninth level!

After the young geniuses left, the Spirit of Wind and Thunder tilted its head upward. It pretended to have a profound and inscrutable look as it gazed at Ling Feng and Du Shaoling before saying, "You two, in my opinion, still have a little bit of talent."

The Spirit of Wind and Thunder was in high spirits, a smile spreading across its face. "Now, take two minutes to revel in your glory. Being praised by me is simply the honor of your lifetime!"

Ling Feng and Du Shaoling’s mouths twitched, both of them simultaneously scorning the shameless spirit of the tower.

"

Hehe,

for a common trial, you still have a slim chance of passing the ninth level."

The Spirit of Wind and Thunder's gaze was piercing, full of vigor. "However, I'll give you a chance. If you can overcome the hellish difficulty of the Wind and Thunder Trial, you can pick several treasures from the ninth floor of the tower. Plus, you'll directly receive the Wind and Thunder Transformation technique made by the Yijian Sect. Of course, the most precious thing I can give you is an attributed sword will!"

"Attributed sword will!"

Ling Feng and Du Shaoling exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

"Yes, it's an attributed sword will, and it's a top-level attribute!" The Spirit of Wind and Thunder exclaimed with excitement.

"Top-level?" Du Shaoling visibly swallowed nervously. "Is it the Slaughterous Sword Will? Immortal Sword Will? Or perhaps the Destructive Sword Will?"

"Foolish!" The Spirit of Wind and Thunder sneered disdainfully at Du Shaoling. "People are foolish and think that the only top-level attributed sword wills are Slaughterous, Destructive, and Immortal. But they don't know that there were originally ten top-tier attributed sword wills in this world."

"Ten?" Ling Feng and Du Shaoling both gasped, realizing that there were actually ten top-tier attributed sword wills.

"Besides the Immortal Sword Will, which is considered mediocre among these ten sword wills, the Slaughterous and Destructive Sword Wills are just at the bottom. On the top floor of the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder, there's even the third-ranked sword will!"

The Spirit of Wind and Thunder squinted at Ling Feng and chuckled. "Kid, you have comprehended the Slaughterous Sword Will, h

uh?

And you’re not bad either, considering you were able to comprehend the Destructive Sword Will. You have some talent."

Only then did Ling Feng and Du Shaoling understand why the Spirit of Wind and Thunder had them stay behind. It wasn't just because of the bet; it was because both of them had comprehended one of the ten major attributed sword wills, giving them the best chance of understanding the attributed sword will on the ninth-floor of the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder.

"

Hmph!

" Du Shaoling snorted lightly, his face ice-cold, clearly still holding a grudge against the Spirit of Wind and Thunder.

The Spirit of Wind and Thunder scoffed. "Well? You two better think it over! Of course, let me make it clear first. If you can pass the ninth level, you'll absolutely get the third-ranked attributed sword will! However, for this Wind and Thunder Trial with hellish difficulty, even if people kneel down and beg me, I might not agree to let them take it!"

"The Wind and Thunder Trial with hellish difficulty..."

Ling Feng swallowed nervously, finding the conditions promised by the Spirit of Wind and Thunder quite tempting.

Du Shaoling took a deep breath. Regarding the hellish difficulty of the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder, there were records in the ancient texts of Zhenlong Academy. It was said that in the thousand-year history of the Yijian Sect, only one person had passed through at the Pulse Formation Realm level, and this person was known as the “Thousand-Year Sword.”

As the name suggested, he was the only sword in a thousand years!

"In the way of the sword, forge ahead bravely!"

Ling Feng raised his straight eyebrows and made the decision first. "Alright, since Senior wants to give me the attributed sword will, it would be unreasonable for me to refuse."

Du Shaoling sneered. "A fool's courage, ridiculous!"

With that said, Du Shaoling turned to the Spirit of Wind and Thunder and said word by word, "I choose the normal difficulty."

"You do?" The Spirit of Wind and Thunder inwardly cursed its own oversight, not expecting Du Shaoling to be so arrogant yet self-aware.

In fact, although Ling Feng and Du Shaoling both possessed exceptionally powerful attributed sword wills, the Spirit of Wind and Thunder wasn't very optimistic about them. It was only because of the bet with Du Shaoling that it came up with this tactic. After all, if Du Shaoling's dream was to pass the ninth level of the hellish difficulty, he truly would be just dreaming.

Unfortunately, Du Shaoling chose the normal difficulty!

"I say, little brother, this isn't right. Your talent is actually quite good. Don't give up so easily." The Spirit of Wind and Thunder blinked at Du Shaoling. "You should believe in yourself. I believe in you!"

Ling Feng's eyes twitched. The shamelessness of this Spirit of Wind and Thunder was on par with that damn despicable donkey!

Du Shaoling slung a large black sword over his shoulder and said coldly, "

Hmph,

I still remember our bet!"

With that, he took a step forward and strode into the luminous barrier.

"You little..." The Spirit of Wind and Thunder felt a bit panicked.

Will I have to lose my dignity this time and eat this brat's booger?

"No, I must stop him! As the spirit of the tower, if you want to pass the ninth level, dream on!

Hehehe...

" The empty platform of the Sword Tower echoed with the Spirit of Wind and Thunder's sinister laughter as it flashed with blue light, chasing after Du Shaoling.

"How do I enter the hellish difficulty?" Ling Feng shook his head with a bitter smile as he watched the Spirit of Wind and Thunder go.

Suddenly, a small yellow bag shot out from the luminous barrier.

"Take this. With this token in hand, you can enter the hellish difficulty through this barrier."

Ling Feng took the bag and opened it, and dozens of books fell out with a clatter.

"What's this?"

Ling Feng's heart leaped.

Are they secret manuals?

Opening the books and flipping through a few pages, Ling Feng's expression darkened, and he almost spit out blood.

These books were all... explicit illustrations!

Ling Feng's hands trembled as he quickly threw the books to the ground.

No wonder that old Spirit of Wind and Thunder is so despicable and lewd. So that's how it is!

Ling Feng covered his forehead, feeling speechless as he looked at the books on the ground.

After putting the books back into the bag, Ling Feng noticed a jade token hanging from the bag's strap with the word 'Hell' written on it.

It seemed like this was the token to enter the Wind and Thunder Trial with hellish difficulty.

Stuffing the bag into his storage ring and hanging the token around his neck, Ling Feng lifted his foot and stepped into the luminous barrier.

Hellish difficulty, here I come!
