Chapter 945: Someone is Scheming

The mortals in the Human World Renjian Yanhuo were organized again, still in groups of 100,000 for the exam. This time the test questions were the same as the last time, still those three questions.

With the experience of the last time, the mortals moved very quickly and soon finished writing the three questions. But the effect of this exam was far inferior to the last one, locking onto only a few hundred people, and they were not very certain. Little Wei Yuan personally checked the hundreds of targets screened out, and the inner demon was indeed not among them.

It seems that the inner demon that came this time is one that can bend and stretch.

Little Wei Yuan's expression was solemn. Obviously, the new inner demon had learned of its predecessor's encounter through some means, and this time the answers were flawless, without revealing the slightest flaw.

But soon the second paper was issued. This time all mortals were divided into two batches, half fighting and half taking the exam. They rotated after an hour.

By the time the second batch of papers was finished, a bolt of thunder suddenly appeared in the sky of the Human World Renjian Yanhuo, instantly striking the top of a girl who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old!

The girl's face was first puzzled, then instantly became ferocious, and hundreds of dense pupils instantly appeared in her eyeballs, staring viciously at Little Wei Yuan in the sky, her mouth full of vicious curses.

But Little Wei Yuan didn't give her a chance to speak at all. The immortal light rolled over and instantly refined her into tribulation ash.

The second inner demon was eliminated, and Little Wei Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. This time, Ji Liuli's method was used to deal with the inner demon. The second paper was mainly about arithmetic and some inferences derived from it.

The Human World Renjian Yanhuo had been running stably for many years, and the vast majority of mortals inside had been enlightened and possessed a considerable degree of arithmetic foundation. Most of them knew how to do the questions on the paper. Even by the standards of the otherworldly world, these mortals were equivalent to having completed compulsory education.

But the trap was set right here. Several questions on the paper had two correct answers. One was to answer according to the default Heavenly Dao of the Human World Renjian Yanhuo, based on base-ten.

However, the Heavenly Dao of the purple firmament spots was different, and the invading monsters actually used base-three. Calculating with this, one would get another answer. The mortals eroded by the inner demons likely had some arithmetic foundation, but there was no content about carrying in the entire paper, so in their relaxed vigilance, they indeed tricked out an inner demon that used base-three.

The second inner demon was slaughtered, but Little Wei Yuan couldn't be happy at all. The cultivators looked at the sky, and seeing that the sky of the Azure Void was as clear as ever, they felt that the matter was not over yet.

Sure enough, not long after, Little Wei Yuan faintly felt a bit awkward, as if a grain of dust had entered his eyes.

Little Wei Yuan opened his eyes and said with a wry smile, "Another inner demon has come, the third one."

There was no longer any ease or composure on Ji Liuli's face, and she frowned, "Even if we eliminate this one, I am afraid there will still be new inner demons. We cannot take shortcuts; we must study from the root and find countermeasures."

Feng Tingyu raised her hand and asked, "What is the difference between this inner demon and the inner demon tribulation during the Master Yu Jing?"

It is recognized that the disciples of the Bright King Hall lack common sense. Feng Chutang explained, "The Master Yu Jing inner demon is self-generated by the soul, which can be said to be a self-projection, or can be viewed as the prototype of the Three Corpses. At that time, the essence of the inner demon tribulation is fighting with oneself. Some genius cultivators' inner demons will mutate due to otherworldly influence, but in essence, it is still self-generated in the sea of consciousness.

But what Little Wei Yuan is encountering now should be a tribulation that only immortals encounter. The demons are all from outside the sky, so accurately speaking, it should be the Heavenly Demon Tribulation. It's just that the senior cultivators couldn't distinguish it clearly at the time and mixed up the names, which has continued until now. The trouble now is that no one knows how many demons there are this time."

"Is there no way to protect against it?" Feng Tingyu asked again.

Feng Chutang sighed, "Little Wei Yuan is not an immortal now, nor is he an Master Yu Jing. Although his Mind-Reflection World is huge, the basic laws of heaven and earth have not yet been perfected, which can be said to be leaking wind on all sides, with flaws everywhere, and it cannot defend against Heavenly Demons at all. But there is also an advantage to the imperfect laws of heaven and earth; the huge power of heaven and earth cannot be balanced, which will produce strong distortion and suppression. The stronger the Heavenly Demon that comes, the stronger the distortion it will receive, so the Heavenly Demon that comes is not yet strong, otherwise it would be impossible to resist."

Feng Tingyu seemed to understand but not quite, her eyes closed slightly, and she began to ponder.

Zhang Sheng suddenly said, "Let me try this Heavenly Demon's methods first."

A young Daoist appeared above her head. The Daoist raised his hand and pointed, and an immortal sword beside the seat automatically left its sheath and flew into Little Wei Yuan's brow. There were vaguely three other immortal swords beside the young Daoist's seat, but they were all phantoms at the moment and had not yet taken shape.

Zhang Sheng then closed her eyes slightly, and her spiritual sense had already appeared in the Human World Renjian Yanhuo.

In the Human World Renjian Yanhuo, she no longer concealed herself, her clothes fluttering, as graceful as an immortal. She pointed to the firmament, and the immortal sword appeared, then one turned into two, two turned into four, and in the blink of an eye, there were endless numbers, falling toward the mortals below, with everyone receiving one.

In an instant, all mortals felt that a great disaster was imminent. Some stood still, scared silly; some cried out in grief, some fled in all directions, and some questioned the heavens. ===== CHAPTER 946 =====
