"Robot Number One!"
Di Xiao focused, his breathing instinctively becoming lighter. He had fought Robot Number Four before and knew very clearly just how terrifying it was. Yet for Yun Jin, the robot that had been so difficult for him was nothing more than a trivial obstacle.
Now, only the last robot remained. If Yun Jin could defeat Robot Number One, she would have completed the challenge from start to finish perfectly.
Even Yun Jin was a little excited.
The previous robots had cultivation techniques already at Advanced Heaven rank. Now, this final robot—the climax—would surely have a small breakthrough, right?
Above Heaven rank, there was another level. Her Yin Yang Codex—its level exceeded Heaven rank by an unknown margin. Cultivation techniques beyond Heaven rank existed only in the Four Great Holy Lands. Even in the Holy Lands, such techniques were treasures of the sect.
If she could obtain a technique surpassing Heaven rank here, the foundation of Wushuang Sect would grow stronger, and the distance to the Holy Lands would shrink slightly.
In the center of the arena, Robot Number One stood silently.
At first glance, it looked no different from the previous robots.
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
The countdown ended.
Robot Number One slowly opened its eyes. Its eyes, like the round robot before, glowed a vivid red. The instant it opened its eyes, Robot Number One vanished from the arena.
Yun Jin's expression tensed with excitement.
It had surpassed Heaven rank!
This cultivation technique was definitely beyond Heaven rank!
Outside the arena, Di Xiao murmured,
"A Saint-rank cultivation technique."
Above Heaven rank, there was Saint rank.
Above Nine Grades, there was Saint grade.
In this world, Heaven rank and Nine Grades were considered limits.
Those who surpassed the limits were called Saint.
Na Jia gritted her teeth, a faint sense of horror flashing in her mind. What exactly was the origin of this trial space? This was a Saint-rank cultivation technique.
Even in the Four Great Holy Lands, a Saint-rank cultivation technique was as valuable as an Immortal Artifact. Yet this trial space casually produced such a technique in only the second level! If such a cultivation technique were to spread beyond here, it could trigger a calamity in the cultivation world.
And here, it wasn't even the ultimate reward!
Na Jia's eyes burned with fervor.
Saint-rank cultivation technique at the second level.
Then…
What would appear in the final trial? If she could obtain the true opportunity in this trial space, she might truly ascend in a single step.
Dreams were beautiful.
Yet Na Jia looked at Yun Jin on the arena and felt her heart race. With such a monster here, did she really have a chance?
"Treasure is always obtained by the fated. Perhaps, I am the fated one," Na Jia comforted herself.
On the arena, the robot's figure had completely vanished. Only occasional violent fluctuations in the Laws around Yun Jin revealed the robot's sudden strikes.
Di Xiao watched in astonishment.
He imagined if he were in Yun Jin's place.
He would have been blasted out of the arena instantly.
Yet Yun Jin faced this invisible enemy with growing excitement.
Di Xiao noticed Yun Jin was trying to sense the robot's movements.
At first, she could detect it seven or eight out of ten times. But there were always one or two misses.
Although she tried to evade every attack, even the slightest residual force caused her internal palace to tremble and her aura to waver. Previously, Yun Jin had never been injured by nine robots. On this arena, she finally started to take damage.
And the injuries were serious.
Di Xiao watched in shock as wounds silently appeared on her body. How could one confront an invisible enemy like this?
Could Robot Number One truly be passable?
Bang!
A flash of light streaked through the void.
This time, Yun Jin was hit solidly. Her body was flung violently into the air. Yet, just as she was about to fly out of the arena, she twisted midair and landed on the edge.
Before she could stabilize, the next attack arrived. Yun Jin dodged narrowly. She kept evading, but some attacks were unavoidable. Her wounds multiplied, becoming increasingly shocking to behold.
Di Xiao pressed his lips together tightly.
Yun Jin was already firmly in first place. If she could not defeat this robot, then she could not. There was no need to force it this far!
"Good, very good."
Yun Jin muttered to herself in the arena, a wild smile spreading across her face.
Yes.
This was the rhythm.
Keep it.
Soon…
She would master it.
At the very start of the battle, the system detected a Saint-rank cultivation technique.
"Yin Yang Escape Art"
It was a marvelous application of the Yin Yang Law.
The robot's figure seemed to disappear, an application resembling spatial law.
Space Law was uncontrollable and beyond anyone's mastery. Yet its applications in the Three Thousand Worlds were widespread. Storage pouches, teleportation arrays, alternate dimensions—
All manifestations of spatial law.
The sudden disappearance of Robot Number One resembled a spatial secret technique.
Only Yun Jin, facing it directly, understood the truth.
This technique was still an application of Yin Yang law.
Yin Yang subtly shifts through the seasons.
All changes in the world, all rotations of time, stem from Yin Yang transformation.
This technique taught one to sense Yin Yang in the world and then integrate the body with it.
I am the world. The world is me.
Spatial law hides in the void. This technique hides in the world itself. Everything could conceal itself. Without spatial law, it achieves near invisibility.
This technique was strong.
Extremely strong.
Though its attack might be slightly weaker.
But ambushing, killing unseen, and hiding while escaping were first-rate. After the system detected the technique, Yun Jin wanted to master it instantly as before. She possessed the Yin Yang Codex and had deep comprehension of Yin Yang Law. This should not have been difficult.
However…
Yin Yang Law had many directions. This codex contained the path of integration with all things, which Yun Jin had never touched.
Mastery was not so easy.
After hundreds of simplifications, the system provided a more approachable entry method.
[Endure twenty beatings from the controller of Yin Yang Escape Art to succeed in entry. Go experience the world's harsh lessons, young girl!]
The system's description was slightly cheeky.
Fortunately, it did not matter.
Outside, where could she find another practitioner of Yin Yang Escape Art?
But on this arena, there was one ready-made!If she only wanted to complete the challenge, it would be simple.
Yet this ready-made tool could help her truly begin her path!
"Twelve."
"Thirteen."
Yun Jin counted silently.
Almost there.
Twenty times… almost complete.
