Chapter 150 Inheritance Assessment
After everyone filed in, Ye Chuxue was surprised to find that she was all alone.
She looked around anxiously, trying to find her companions, but there was no one in sight.
"Miss, where are you?" Ye Chuxue called out anxiously, her voice echoing in the empty environment, but she received no response.
Left with no other option, Ye Chuxue decided to use her Sacred Domain to investigate.
She clasped her hands together, chanting incantations, and a mysterious light emanated from her body, rapidly spreading in all directions.
Disappointingly, the light seemed to encounter an invisible barrier, unable to penetrate it, let alone detect any other traces.
Moreover, for some reason, Ye Chuxue always felt that there was a strange force around her blocking everything, making her completely cut off from the outside world.
After careful perception and judgment, Ye Chuxue finally realized that she was in a long corridor that seemed to have no end in sight.
At this point, she couldn't think of any better way than to grit her teeth and keep going.
So, Ye Chuxue took a deep breath and mustered her courage to walk forward.
As she ventured deeper, the dim light around her gradually brightened.
At first, there was only a faint light, but the further she went in, the stronger the light became, as if there was endless light waiting for her to explore.
Finally, Ye Chuxue reached the end of the corridor. Before her lay an enormous space, resembling a magnificent palace.
In the center of this spacious area stood a massive arena, its sheer size astonishing.
On the wall opposite the arena, there is a similarly huge human-shaped statue, so lifelike that it seems to be alive.
Ye Chuxue carefully looked around to make sure there was nothing unusual before slowly stepping onto the arena.
The instant her feet touched the ring floor, the human-shaped sculpture, which had been keeping its eyes closed, suddenly opened them wide!
Two sharp gazes shot directly at Ye Chuxue, while a deep and majestic voice resounded throughout the space: "Challenger, now that you have stepped into this arena, it means that you have chosen to accept the inheritance."
But before that, you must face the many challenges ahead. Are you ready?
At this moment, the system's voice came into Ye Chuxue's mind.
"Ding, an emergency has been detected. Please make a choice, host."
"First, accept the challenge for six months, gain 100% affinity with lightning element, and obtain the Heart of Thor if you succeed in the challenge."
"Second, give up the challenge and earn the title of 'coward'."
Is there even a need to consider this? I'd definitely choose the first one.
"I choose one!"
Ye Chuxue felt a completely new sensation within her body.
When cultivation reaches a certain level, the body will develop an affinity for the elements. When the affinity reaches a certain level, it will no longer be necessary to activate the martial spirit.
This is what is known as elemental power, which only utilizes the power within the body and does not rely on the power of the martial soul.
The humanoid statue burst into laughter: "Very good, little girl, you have guts. Let's begin now." As it spoke, electric nets crackling with lightning appeared out of thin air on the arena.
Ye Chuxue's eyes were resolute; she knew the next six months wouldn't be easy. The first hurdle was traversing this area filled with dangerous electric currents.
She tried to mobilize the meager spiritual energy within her body and cautiously took a step forward. When she touched the edge of the electric grid, a sharp pain shot through her, but she gritted her teeth and continued forward.
With each step she took, electric current coiled around her like venomous snakes, gradually tearing her clothes and burning her skin in multiple places.
But Ye Chuxue did not back down. She kept mobilizing the lightning element within her body, trying to convert the lightning into her own.
Suddenly, she realized that these currents, though seemingly chaotic, actually had a subtle rhythm.
Ye Chuxue held her breath and moved quickly in this rhythm, finally passing through the first obstacle.
The human-shaped statue nodded slightly, seemingly acknowledging her courage, and then the second test appeared before them.
On the second arena, countless spinning wind blades appeared, whistling past and creating a chilling sound.
Ye Chuxue knew that if she were hit by the wind blade, she would be seriously injured.
Ye Chuxue took a deep breath, concentrated her mind, and fully mobilized the surging lightning elemental power within her body.
A stream of purple electricity flowed rapidly through her meridians, eventually converging on her body surface to form a faint, shimmering shield.
Although this shield appears thin, the energy it contains is astonishing.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Chuxue's eyes sharpened as she stared intently at the rapidly spinning wind blades before her.
These wind blades, like ghosts, intertwined in the air to form an impenetrable net, inspiring awe and fear.
However, thanks to her keen insight and agile movements, Ye Chuxue still managed to accurately capture the gap in the wind blade's rotation.
She dodged a wind blade that came flying at her with a swift movement, then quickly leaped and evaded several attacks that followed.
However, as time went on, the wind blades became denser and faster.
Ye Chuxue began to feel somewhat overwhelmed, and fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on her forehead. Just as she was struggling to cope, a sudden inspiration flashed into her mind.
Ye Chuxue quickly formed hand seals, and a chilling aura burst forth from her palms.
The chill spread rapidly, combining with the moisture in the surrounding air to create a small cloud in the blink of an eye.
The mist enveloped Ye Chuxue like a light veil, making her figure appear and disappear within it.
With the cover of the clouds and mist, Ye Chuxue moved with even greater ease. She was like a nimble swallow, darting lightly among the wind blades.
Whenever a wind blade approaches, she can always use the cover of clouds and mist to cleverly change direction or accelerate instantly, causing those deadly wind blades to miss their mark time and time again.
After a hard-fought struggle, Ye Chuxue finally managed to get close to the other side of the ring.
She was panting, but her eyes revealed determination and confidence. The human-shaped sculpture opposite her narrowed its eyes slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.
It clearly hadn't expected that Ye Chuxue could so cleverly combine ice and lightning elements to resist the fierce attack of wind element.
As is well known, among the five elements, both ice and wind can restrain lightning to a certain extent.
Logically speaking, using only lightning elemental power to fight against wind elemental power is undoubtedly like throwing an egg against a rock.
However, Ye Chuxue did the opposite. By organically fusing two opposing elements, she not only made up for the shortcomings of the lightning element but also created a completely new defensive method, thus achieving unexpected results.
This innovative thinking and ability to adapt to changing circumstances is truly admirable.
