Chapter 11

Hearing this.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

They saw two tall figures walking over from not far away.

The leader.

White clothes as snow, graceful and elegant.

With the feeling of a young master.

"Junior Brother Meng!"

In the crowd, someone was stunned.

It was Xia Han!

At this moment, his injuries had long since recovered, and he had even progressed a bit further; it wouldn't be long before he could start considering the matter of breaking through to the Opening Aperture Realm.

After all, he had been stuck at the ninth level of the Pulse Forging Realm for many years.

Ignoring everyone's gaze.

Meng Zhangqing placed his right hand on the long sword at his waist and walked slowly to the Elder.

"Greetings, Elder."

Meng Zhangqing cupped his hands slightly.

In the sect, even an Outer Sect Elder is a person of high status.

One must not be the least bit negligent.

After the salute, Meng Zhangqing looked at the Elder's side.

His character panel immediately appeared.

Basic Information:

[Name: Sun Haishan]

[Race: Human]

[Cultivation: Ninth Level of Opening Aperture Realm]

Attribute Information:

[Root Bone: Grade 4]

[Comprehension: Average]

[Martial Arts: "Cloud-Piercing Spear" (Minor Success), "Eight-Inch Step" (Minor Success)]

[...]

"The attributes are average. It seems that without a miracle, a Grade 4 Root Bone can only be cultivated to the ninth level of the Opening Aperture Realm. If lucky, perhaps one can step into the Sea-Opening Realm, but that is the limit."

Meng Zhangqing thought to himself.

If it were his previous Grade 5 Root Bone, his future achievements would be even lower.

"The 'Cloud-Piercing Spear' seems to be a Profound-level low-grade martial art, a high-grade martial art that can only be cultivated after entering the Inner Sect!"

Meng Zhangqing took a slight breath.

He had naturally tried to find out about the Inner Sect.

As long as one can enter the Inner Sect, whether it is cultivation resources, techniques, or martial arts, they are far superior to the Outer Sect.

There is absolutely no comparison between them!

"Opening Aperture Realm."

The Elder looked Meng Zhangqing up and down.

"You've actually reached the Opening Aperture Realm!"

Hearing the Elder's words, Xia Han was shocked, and then somewhat incredulous.

He remembered that not long ago, Meng Zhangqing was only at the eighth level of the Pulse Forging Realm!

How long had passed since then?

"Looking at your aura, you should have just broken through,"

The Elder withdrew his gaze and said casually, "Isn't it too risky to come without even stabilizing your cultivation?"

"Fists and feet have no eyes, let alone puppets."

"Be careful of being beaten into serious injury, causing your hard-won cultivation to fall."

As the words fell.

The originally calm crowd suddenly erupted into an uproar.

"What? He dares to come just after breaking through? He's crazy!"

Someone couldn't help but say.

"Yeah, does he really think this Puppet Gorge is just for show, and that it's easy to pass?"

"Didn't he see that even Zhao Zhen and the others failed!"

"He's truly too arrogant, daydreaming!"

For a time, some people made sarcastic remarks.

And Zhao Zhen and the others on the side also sneered coldly.

Even 'veteran' Opening Aperture Realm martial artists like them couldn't pass, let alone someone who had just broken through.

"Go back."

The Elder reminded him kindly, then prepared to close the gorge.

But Meng Zhangqing stopped him.

"Elder, I sincerely want to challenge this gorge."

Hearing this.

A flash of disappointment crossed the Elder's eyes.

He had seen too many people like this, thinking that breaking through to the Opening Aperture Realm was enough to pass the Puppet Gorge.

High-minded but low-skilled, overestimating their own abilities.

"Fine, suit yourself."

The Elder's voice returned to indifference.

He stepped aside and cleared the way.

"Thank you, Elder."

Meng Zhangqing could understand the Elder's thoughts, but there was no need to explain, because facts are the best way to verify everything.

He slowly drew the long sword from his waist.

One person, one sword.

He stepped forward with his right foot and entered the cold gorge!

"These people are really annoying."

Hearing the increasing number of doubts and taunts from the side, Bai Suxi's beautiful eyebrows furrowed tightly, showing displeasure.

As Senior Brother Meng's friend.

She naturally couldn't listen to these words.

Senior Brother Meng is not an ordinary person; with two perfected-level martial arts, there is a high possibility he can pass the Puppet Gorge.

"Master, what do you think?"

Bai Suxi asked in her heart.

"Based on the previous situation, this Level 2 puppet is clearly not an ordinary puppet; both its defense and strength are quite good."

"However, this kid has mastered two perfected-level martial arts, so he should be able to pass."

"It's just that the process might be quite difficult, and he might even get hurt."

The old voice gave a fair judgment.

Ever since she was shocked by Meng Zhangqing's cultivation level just now, she had remained silent until now.

Now she couldn't speak about Meng Zhangqing as casually as before.

After all, she had already been slapped in the face twice.

"Mm-hmm, I think so too!"

Bai Suxi nodded heavily.

"Senior Brother Meng."

Xia Han also stared at Meng Zhangqing's back, but unlike others, he was naturally looking forward to Meng Zhangqing passing.

It's just that it's very difficult.

The gorge is not long, only three hundred meters.

The walls on both sides are steep.

Extremely precipitous.

Occasionally, gravel rolls down.

Looking forward.

The soil is pitch black, and rows of humanoid figures stand there.

Exuding a cold aura.

Whoosh!

Upon detecting someone's arrival.

All the puppets raised their heads, and their originally dim eyes lit up like gems.

A fierce and murderous aura rushed toward him!

Those with weak wills.

Might have already thought of retreating under these gazes!

"Let me see how terrifying this Puppet Gorge, known as the dangerous place of the Outer Sect, really is?"

Meng Zhangqing's mouth curled up slightly.

He walked forward.

Roar!

Strange sounds rang out, and hundreds of puppets holding different weapons rushed toward Meng Zhangqing.

"Let's see how long he can last. He didn't even listen to the Elder's advice; he's truly ignorant!"

"Does he really think he's that strong?"

Everyone seemed to have already seen the scene of Meng Zhangqing being beaten into serious injury and thrown out.

However, the next second.

"Nine Shadow Sword Technique!"

A calm voice rang out.

Then, dense sword shadows were seen slashing out!

Sweeping across all directions!

Pushing back and even knocking away all the puppets that surrounded him, all of them having deep sword marks on their chests.

All the puppets stumbled, clearly having their cores damaged; their eyes flickered on and off, and finally went completely dark, falling to the ground.

"What!"

Everyone gasped, their faces showing disbelief.

Some people's sarcastic smiles were still frozen on their faces.

This scene was truly far beyond their expectations.

It was completely different from the scene they had imagined!

"One sword, nine shadows; this is the perfected-level Nine Shadow Sword Technique!"

The Elder's expression also changed, "No wonder he dared to challenge the Puppet Gorge just after breaking through, and no wonder he didn't choose to use movement techniques to avoid them like others when facing so many puppets."

The "Nine Shadow Sword Technique" is actually a relatively comprehensive sword technique.

The nine sword shadows are a group attack method.

And the main long sword is the strongest sword strike.

Precisely because it is comprehensive.

The difficulty of cultivating the "Nine Shadow Sword Technique" is very high.

It requires extremely high comprehension.

Looking at the vast Outer Sect, there probably isn't anyone who has it, right?

"I didn't expect there to be such a genius in the Outer Sect!"

The Elder suddenly became a bit excited.

His eyes became bright.

In his eyes, Meng Zhangqing was clearly defined as a genius overlooked by the sect!

Boom, boom, boom!

Puppets kept rushing up.

But their fate did not change.

All were knocked away, or even shattered!

Meng Zhangqing was already completely immersed in the battle.

With so many puppets surrounding him, and all of them full of fierce intent.

To say there was no pressure at all would be impossible.

But this was also a good opportunity to hone his spirit and will!

Martial path cultivation.

Cannot just rely on cultivation base; state of mind and will are also very important.

The latter is like a rudder.

Used to control the power of the whole body, so that it does not become chaotic and disorganized.

And the stronger the spirit and will.

The more one can excavate spiritual treasures in the future!

To master the universe!

"So strong."

Everyone couldn't help but make sounds of shock.

Those were hundreds of puppets, but Meng Zhangqing was in the middle of them without the slightest panic.

On the contrary.

It was as easy as a stroll in the park.

Almost no puppet could get close to him, and they were slashed away directly!

This situation was simply a sweep!

Sweeping through the Puppet Gorge!

Is this really something an Outer Sect disciple can do?

It was completely unimaginable.

Gulp~

Zhao Zhen and the others couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Facing so many puppets, they all dodged left and right, not daring to confront them head-on.

But this guy...

"Senior Brother Meng!"

Bai Suxi's eyes were shining.

Bang!

A puppet flew backward and hit the ground heavily.

A tall figure walked past it.

It was Meng Zhangqing.

At this time.

He had already reached the end of the gorge.

Behind him was the ground full of puppets.

Almost all the puppets in this gorge had been dealt with by him.

Now only the last Level 2 puppet remained!

Meng Zhangqing exhaled a turbid breath.
