C280 Double defeat

"The blade intent here is so strong!"

The moment he entered the Reincarnation Stone Forest, Cheng Feng's expression congealed.

Under the suppression of this blade intent, he stepped forward, and a half-inch deep footprint appeared on the ground.

As for Tai Long, his tall and sturdy body was even more bent.

"Damn it, under such heavy pressure, it's even hard for me to lift my foot."

Tai Long's expression was a little ugly. "And this stone forest, from one end to the other, is at least two or three kilometers away. It's almost impossible to finish walking in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. "

"I'm afraid this is just the beginning!"

Cheng Feng continued: "The second stage of the Blade Demon Endowment, I believe it will not be as simple as letting us endure the blade intent and traversing through the stone forest."

While speaking, Cheng Feng took a few steps forward, and immediately discovered that the blade intent within the Reincarnation Stone Forest was becoming stronger bit by bit as he went deeper into the stone forest.

"F * ck me, are you still going to let me live?" Noticing this situation, Tai Long immediately cursed.

"Don't worry, there seems to be a way to weaken the suppression of the Saber Intent."

"What method?" Tai Long hurriedly asked.

"Look at this stone pillar."

Cheng Feng pointed to a black stone pillar in front of him, only to see that on the stone pillar, there was actually a set of low-grade Profound Level blade technique carved on it.

Beside the sword skill, there was a line of commentary, saying that if one mastered this set of low level Profound Level, they would be able to weaken the suppression of the blade intent by ten percent.

"You want us to cultivate the low level of sword intent in Profound Level? That old blade demon, just what is going on in his head! " Tai Long scolded.

What was the point of letting these genius Knife Dao cultivators train in such mediocre blade skills?

What a waste of time!

"Experts at the level of Saber Demons wouldn't do something so meaningless."

However, Cheng Feng felt that there was some deeper meaning behind his words.

After pondering for a moment, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, "I should know the intentions of the Sword Demon for setting up this stage."

"Oh, quickly tell me."

"As everyone knows, the three tests that Saber Demons set up were to select a disciple to inherit their own martial dao."

"And what does disciple selection value the most?"

Cheng Feng answered his own question, "What I value the most are my cultivation talent, my learning ability, and my ability to survive."

"The first trial just now was a test of our martial dao potential."

"And this second trial is a test of our learning ability. In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the faster we learn low-grade skill, the weaker the blade intent will be on us, and the easier it will be to pass through Reincarnation Stone Forest. "

"If one's talent is not enough and their ability to learn is not good, then the deeper they enter into the Stone Forest, the greater the pressure would be on them and they would be eliminated from the competition."

"Your analysis seems to make some sense." After Tai Long heard this, he immediately said: "Then let's quickly learn this technique."

To be able to enter the Holy Land of Martial Arts, Cheng Feng and Yue Yang's learning ability was not bad.

Very quickly, the two of them had mastered the low grade saber skill.

As he performed his two moves, the saber intent pressing against them immediately weakened by ten percent.

"It worked! Continue!"

Feeling the pressure on his body loosen, Cheng Feng walked a few steps forward, continuing to learn new blade techniques.

The incense stick's worth of time passed quickly while he was trying to learn more.

However, Cheng Feng and Yue Yang had only reached the latter half of the Reincarnation Stone Forest.

Therefore, this first attempt ended in failure!

Swish! A wave of blade intent swept down, and brought Cheng Feng and Cheng Feng to the entrance of the stone forest.

"I don't have enough time. I've already done my best to pass the trial, but I'm still lacking quite a bit." Tai Long was a little depressed.

"We wasted a lot of time just now on understanding the rules."

Cheng Feng said: "This time, let's not think about anything else and focus on passing the test. Maybe we can succeed in one fell swoop."

After cheering Tai Long on, the second challenge began.

When Cheng Feng reached the first stone pillar along the previous path, he realised that the sword skills on the stone pillar had changed, had become a new technique.

"This barrier called Reincarnation Stone Forest, is set up very meticulously, and there is no loophole."

Cheng Feng shook his head and stopped thinking about it, starting to concentrate on clearing the trial.

This time, without the consumption of external factors, Cheng Feng's speed of passing the trial increased by a lot.

Before the time it took to burn an incense stick to burn was about to arrive, he had already arrived at a place with a Reincarnation Stone Forest of fourteen hundred meters.

And the entire Reincarnation Stone Forest, was only three miles long, and one thousand five hundred meters.

In other words, Cheng Feng was just one hundred meters away from success.

At this moment, Cheng Feng directly ignited the two hundred and eight River of Essence s in his body, with the intent to expel the Essence in his body that was suppressed by the blade intent out of his body, and then activated Eagle Crossing Arts, flying past the last one hundred meters.

However, he failed!

This was because along the way, although he had learned a total of seven sets of low-grade saber skills, the saber intent suppressing him had been reduced by seventy percent.

But as he went deeper into the Reincarnation Stone Forest, the amount of sword intent also increased bit by bit.

With this counteraction, the blade intent that Cheng Feng endured when his Reincarnation Stone Forest was at fourteen hundred meters, was even more intense than when he was at the entrance of the stone forest, and he was simply unable to expel the vitality from his body.

Cheng Feng failed his second attempt, which was even more so for Tai Long.

He had only reached 1200 meters from the Reincarnation Stone Forest, when the time finally came.

Being brought back to the entrance of the stone forest by the blade intent once again, Cheng Feng and Tai Long looked at each other and laughed bitterly.

And just at this moment, two new faces appeared at the periphery of the stone forest. They were the fourth master Chu Tian of the three hundred and seventy years of Knife Tower, and an ordinary looking Blue-Clothed Youth.

"Huh?" Seeing the Blue-Clothed Youth, Cheng Feng and Tai Long were stunned.

With regards to Chu Tian passing through the Knife Mountain Gallery so quickly, Cheng Feng and the woman did not find it strange at all.

Because the moment they had left the Knife Mountain Gallery, Chu Tian had been ranked first.

But how did this Blue-Clothed Youth manage to catch up to the Chu Tian who was ranked number one and rush through the Knife Mountain Gallery at the same time?

"This is Wang Tao, a friend that I just made."

Seeing the strange expressions on the two of them, the green-clothed Chu Tian introduced them: "Although Brother Wang just entered the Early Heavenly Martial Stage not long ago, with the blade intent, you have already reached ninety percent of the shocking fifth step. That's why you are able to come after me, and complete the Knife Mountain Gallery at almost the same time as I do."

"So that's how it is." After listening to Chu Tian's introduction, Cheng Feng and Tai Long finally understood.

So it turned out that this Wang Tao, although he looked extremely ordinary, so much so that others would subconsciously ignore him, he was actually a genius of the Knife Dao.

Following that, Cheng Feng chatted with Chu Tian and the others for a while before they proceeded to the next stage.

As for Chu Tian and Wang Tao, they stood to the side and watched. When Cheng Feng went deeper into the Reincarnation Stone Forest, a glint flashed across Wang Tao's eyes.

"Brother Wang, you're about to attempt the second stage?" Chu Tian was a little surprised.

He had originally thought that Wang Tao would be the same as him, to at least watch the process of Cheng Feng's breakthrough and absorb experience.

Only this way could he avoid wasting a lot of time.

However, Wang Tao unexpectedly did not stop for a moment, and wanted to immediately pass the trial.

"Brother Chu, since there are 10 chances to pass this stage, I plan to waste one. I'll try my hand at it."

Wang Tao smiled slightly, and then stepped into the Reincarnation Stone Forest.
