378: Chapter 378 Challenging Five

The next day.

Early morning.

Xiao Weiqing finished his Cultivation and walked out of his room; he was one step closer to activating his Divine Body.

Inside the hall.

Lou Xiaoxing, Yin Wenzheng, and Tian Zhenzhen were already waiting.

It seemed they were still waiting for him.

"What's the matter?"

Lou Xiaoxing said, "They want you to help them test their strength."

"Test their strength?"

"They want to challenge the Second-Class Nirvana Warriors, but they aren't confident."

Xiao Weiqing nodded, understanding what they meant. It wouldn't take more than a few minutes anyway.

"Alright."

Xiao Weiqing walked to an open space, and the thousand flame blade appeared in his hand.

"Who's first?"

"I will use the power and speed of a Second-Class Nirvana Warrior, and I won't use any Innate Skills."

"I'll go!"

Yin Wenzheng took out a broad-backed saber and immediately revealed seven divine runes, standing ready.

Without any warning.

Xiao Weiqing vanished from where he stood.

The next second.

*Clang!*

The two blades collided.

Yin Wenzheng retreated repeatedly, horrified. "Is this the strength of a Second-Class Nirvana Warrior?"

Xiao Weiqing didn't stop his attack. Exerting speed that surpassed the ordinary Eighth Realm, he struck with blade after blade, attacking Yin Wenzheng like a violent storm.

In less than half a minute.

Xiao Weiqing stopped.

"Your strength isn't enough."

Yin Wenzheng panted heavily. Hearing Xiao Weiqing's words, he felt both bitter and helpless.

"And you?"

Xiao Weiqing looked at Tian Zhenzhen.

"Please guide me!"

Tian Zhenzhen manifested a short blade. It was shorter than a longsword but longer than a dagger. The short blade emitted a cold, chilling light and was surrounded by six divine runes; it was clearly no ordinary item.

Without waiting for Xiao Weiqing to make a move.

Tian Zhenzhen took the initiative.

*Ding!*

The weapons clashed with a metallic ring.

The next second.

*Bang!*

Tian Zhenzhen was kicked squarely and sent flying backward.

Lou Xiaoxing blurred and caught Tian Zhenzhen. "I say, Xiao Weiqing, can't you be a bit gentler?"

"Zhenzhen, are you hurt? Come on, let's go to the room and let me check."

Tian Zhenzhen pushed Lou Xiaoxing's hand away. "I'm fine. Xiao Weiqing already held back his strength."

When Tian Zhenzhen couldn't react in time to that kick, Xiao Weiqing had already withdrawn most of his force. Tian Zhenzhen had simply used the momentum to retreat; there was no need to resist it head-on, as that would have caused injury instead.

"Your strength is quite lacking. If you challenge a Second-Class Nirvana Warrior, you will surely die."

"I understand."

Tian Zhenzhen remained expressionless. She reached out and pressed the first door, then vanished inside to begin challenging the Third-Class Nirvana Warriors.

Just like yesterday.

Ten minutes later.

Tian Zhenzhen walked out covered in wounds, carrying a pile of stones. Looking closely, her harvest was greater than yesterday's.

Lou Xiaoxing hurriedly said, "Zhenzhen, are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

After putting all her gains into the machine, Tian Zhenzhen went back to her room to heal.

Next was Yin Wenzheng.

He began challenging the Third-Class Nirvana Warriors.

After Yin Wenzheng walked through the door.

Xiao Weiqing spoke up and asked:

"I have to say, Lou Xiaoxing, do you really have feelings for her?"

"Yeah, is there a problem?"

Xiao Weiqing shook his head. "No problem, but what do you see in Tian Zhenzhen? She seems to have a daughter."

Lou Xiaoxing said, "Excellent looks, top-tier figure, and her strength and talent are among the best. Most importantly, she has wide hips—good for childbearing."

"Huh?"

Xiao Weiqing gave Lou Xiaoxing a strange look.

"What are you looking at? The Lou family has had a single son for four generations. In my lifetime, I must have eight or ten kids. This is the philosophy my old man has been drilling into me since I was a kid."

Xiao Weiqing asked curiously, "You were juggling so many boats before, and you didn't have one or two? You don't have some kind of physical problem, do you?"

"Get lost! Even if you had a problem, I wouldn't," Lou Xiaoxing laughed and cursed. "I used to be more low-profile. After my Supernatural Awakening, I was protected by Great Xia. Not many people knew my true strength. I've dated many, but almost none wanted to stay with me."

"Every time I talked about marriage with them, they'd tell me, 'You're a good person,' and then dump me."

"Sigh, these women, none of them are any good. They only cared about my handsome face."

That was indeed hard to refute.

Lou Xiaoxing had handsome features and a pair of sword-like eyebrows. Calling him a great beauty was definitely not an exaggeration. Xiao Weiqing thought he was only slightly less handsome than himself.

"You said you've dated over a dozen, right? Not even one was willing?"

"It's not that there wasn't even one," Lou Xiaoxing rubbed his chin. "There was once an older sister who wanted to have my child, and I wouldn't even have to raise it."

"You weren't willing?"

Xiao Weiqing guessed that since Lou Xiaoxing wanted children so badly, he wouldn't accept that.

Lou Xiaoxing said as if it were obvious, "Of course I wasn't willing! Not only was I unwilling, but her husband was also unwilling."

"..."

Lou Xiaoxing shrugged. "That wasn't my fault. I was the victim too. I can only blame being young and ignorant back then, having my feelings toyed with."

"Fine, say no more."

Xiao Weiqing was completely speechless.

Before long.

*Click!*

Yin Wenzheng walked out.

He walked out carrying the corpse of a Third-Class Nirvana Warrior. He was also heavily injured with a broken left arm; he'd likely need a good night's rest to recover.

"Looks like we'll have to try the Second-Class Nirvana Warriors today," Lou Xiaoxing said.

Since Yin Wenzheng had slain the Third-Class Nirvana Warrior, that warrior could no longer be challenged, as the red light on the first door had never turned green again.

"I'll go first, you wait a bit," Xiao Weiqing said. He needed to challenge multiple Second-Class Nirvana Warriors to judge the difficulty of the First-Class Nirvana Warriors.

"Alright."

Xiao Weiqing pressed his hand against the second door. After it opened, he walked inside.

It was the same arena as yesterday.

On the pillars.

Xiao Weiqing observed carefully and picked five Second-Class Nirvana Warriors who were holding weapons.

This was also based on the experience Yin Wenzheng had mentioned: those with weapons were basically melee fighters, so he could just engage in physical combat.

If he chose those without weapons, it would be very passive if they had some strange or weird abilities.

*Click... Click... Click...*

Five Second-Class Nirvana Warriors stepped into the arena simultaneously.

The five Nirvana Warriors moved with synchronized steps. Every time they stepped on the arena, a resonance occurred.

"It seems it's not just a simple increase in numbers."

The thing Xiao Weiqing was worried about had happened.

Based on the strength of a Second-Class Nirvana Warrior, he could easily fight ten of them.

The reason he hadn't done so was the fear that the Nirvana Warriors would coordinate or have combined techniques.

Looking at the movements of these five Nirvana Warriors now, they were perfectly uniform, and their positioning was deliberate. The one with the spear was in front, and the remaining four were in two pairs behind him. The five Nirvana Warriors had actually formed three rows.

This positioning was definitely not random.

"Bang!"

The Nirvana Warrior with the spear suddenly lunged out, his body almost parallel to the arena. The spear in his hand spun at high speed, making his entire being resemble a high-speed drill as he flew toward Xiao Weiqing.

Xiao Weiqing's heart stirred.

His entire body was bathed in Samadhi True Fire as he entered his Flame True Body form.

"Illusionary Light!"

Xiao Weiqing didn't meet the spear-wielding Nirvana Warrior head-on. His figure flashed, appearing beside the Nirvana Warriors in the third row.

Anyone who had been in a team fight knew.

Kill the backline first.

"Slash!"

He swung the ten thousand calamities fiercely, directly severing the legs of two Nirvana Warriors.

The terrifying blade energy also sent the other two Nirvana Warriors flying.
