“Zap!”

Lu Xun’s finger-tip Sword Qi once again directly sliced a ghost and a brass mirror into two halves.

Until now, he had already passed the second stage of the Ghost’s Grief.

“The second stage was of a moderate level of difficulty, at most five ghosts appeared simultaneously. Not much of a hassle.”

“It was only able to instantly kill an ordinary being at the initial stage of the Initial Realm.”

“For me, it was not challenging at all.”

Lu Xun raised his right hand, then blew a breath towards his fingertips, extinguishing the chilling Sword Qi shimmering on his fingertips.

Since stepping into Ghost’s Grief, he had felt a cold pair of eyes on him.

It must have been Snake Sauce, the guardian of this instance!

As the guardian, Snake Elder has the authority to examine any situation in the Trial Ground, just like when Elder E observed his every move when Lu Xun first ventured into the Turtle’s Longevity.

However, as a high-level monster, if he wished, Lu Xun would be completely unaware of being observed.

The feeling was like: “I’m not peeking, I’m watching blatantly.”

“Snake Sauce truly lives up to his name.” Lu Xun thought to himself.

Lu Xun continued to walk forward and arrived at the third stage of the Ghost’s Grief.

By the second stage, there were already 320 brass mirrors, but the third stage remained consistent with the first stage, having only 81 mirrors.

Furthermore, the number of ghosts was only 10.

However, these two-meter-tall brass mirrors were no longer immobile, they could change position randomly!

They would suddenly sink into the ground and then suddenly appear somewhere else.

If you didn’t know, you would think it was the mechanical arts of the Ink clan.

There were reflections on the mirrors, with so many mirrors put together, it was dizzying enough.

Plus, these mirrors could move, augmenting the visual impact several times!

“Thank goodness these are brass mirrors. If they were mirrors from Earth, the reflections would be clearer, and the visual impact would be even greater!” Lu Xun thought to himself.

At the same time, the material of each brass mirror also changed.

From the outside, it seemed not much different from the previous two stages, but in reality, every single brass mirror had the standard of a Yellow Outfit.

If it was still an ordinary mirror, it would have been easy to deal with, just directly destroy all 81 mirrors, and the ghosts would be destroyed along with it.

Don’t care where you hide, I will demolish your home!

Demolishing directly! Nice and clean!

In fact, even if it was the standard of a Yellow Outfit, it wasn’t that Lu Xun couldn’t shatter it, but to destroy 81 Yellow Outfits at once, it was like a pipe dream.

Although he is quite formidable now, he is not quite that powerful yet.

The moment Lu Xun stepped into the third stage, the brass mirrors started moving.

“This is a formation.” Lu Xun squinted his eyes slightly.

His face was calm, and his mind even calmer.

With his Spiritual Power Level 3 and his Array Aptitude Level 2, he had an advantage against formations.

“Here it comes! It’s here!” Lu Xun’s finger-tip Sword Qi suddenly thrust forward.

A ghost had just poked its gruesome head out from the mirror when it encountered Lu Xun’s Sword Qi.

The feeling was like it had smashed into the Sword Qi itself!

“Baby, you’ve run into the mouth of my gun, haven’t you?”

A slight motion from his fingertip stabbed through the ghost.

Then, he didn’t stop his footsteps, took five steps to the right, and dodged the flames that suddenly surged out of the mirror.

Yes, since the brass mirrors were all Magic Artifacts of the Yellow Outfit level, they were not ordinary mirrors and had their own attack power, and were very sneaky!

“Thank heavens my past experience has taught me how you operate.” Lu Xun thought to himself.

Outside the instance, on a certain tree, Snake Elder couldn’t help but slightly furrow his brows.

How did Lu Xun seem so experienced in the Ghost’s Grief?

Or was his reaction really that quick?

Even Ye Sui’an struggled heavily in this third stage; don’t be fooled by his grace now, that’s because he had changed into a new robe before leaving the Trial Ground.

During his trial, his clothes were ragged.

But Lu Xun was too casual, behaving as if he had been here many times.

Even if he had heard about the trial content inside the Ghost’s Grief, and prepared in advance, he shouldn’t have been this agile.

As for the possibility of him having entered Ghost’s Grief before… that was absolutely impossible!

There was only one explanation then, this kid has powerful Divine Sense, great adaptability, and is very meticulous!

He had observed the intensity of Lu Xun’s finger-tip Sword Qi, and it was not a level ordinary Sword Cultivators could achieve, and there was a possibility that this kid hadn’t even used his full strength!

Snake Elder recalled the young people who had come to try the trials in recent years, and he couldn’t think of anyone who could match him.

Neither Xiao Ran nor Ye Sui’an could!

“He is indeed a disciple of a noble scholar.” Snake Elder sat on a tree, inwardly exclaiming.

“If he can grow up smoothly, he is likely to become the second Yan Li!”

At this moment, Lu Xun had once again successfully killed a ghost, rewarding him with 666 experience points.

A thin icicle suddenly formed from the brass mirror behind him. Lu Xun’s Divine Sense had detected it long ago, he slightly tilted his head, and the icicle whizzed past his ear.

Everything was within his sensing range!

“It’s rare to have such a suitable Trial Ground, it’s a good opportunity to test out my Pink Ink!”

Lu Xun had leveled up Pink Ink to level 5. Currently, this was his most experience-saving skill, and hence didn’t require much effort to level up.

However, he hadn’t used it since leveling it up. Now was a great opportunity to test it out.

While others were cautious in the Trial Ground, he was relaxed and even saw these brass mirrors and ghosts as training partners.

Streams of ink-colored air appeared around Lu Xun, like an invisible brush circling around him, drawing one ink line after another.

They were like swimming ink dragons, hovering around him.

With a thought, he flicked his cuffs to the sides, seven Sword Qi’s appeared from his fingertips, and started swirling along with the ink-colored airstream!

The ink is moving, and the Sword Qi is following.

It was like seven long swords following the flow of the ink.

Lu Xun didn’t make any other moves and started walking forward slowly.

The positions of these brass mirrors kept changing, and Lu Xun paid no attention to it.

He did not care from which mirror the ghosts hidden inside would launch an ambush.

He just walked forward, unceasingly.

The hands of the ghosts poked out from within the brass mirrors. When they touched the ink-colored air, they could not advance any further!

Then, their hands were severed by the swirling Sword Qi!

Inside the brass mirrors, be it fire or ice, everything was firmly blocked by the ink-colored air, making it impossible to advance!

Even if this third stage had its thousand changes, how could it trouble me?

The Ink is like water, the Sword Qi follows the stream!
