Chapter 263 Breaking into the Stone Statue
Because of showing his strength, no one went to trouble Shi Xiaole anymore.

After all, even if he is a master of the fifth level of profound energy, it is impossible to easily handle him. If he wastes his internal energy because of this, it will be bad if he is beaten up.

After a little more than a day, Shi Xiaole finally boarded the Weird Bamboo Forest.I don't know if it was an illusion, but as soon as his feet touched the ground, he felt an invisible qi flowing through his body and disappeared without a trace.

"Is this the power of the formation? If I have a spiritual level cultivation, I will be attacked by the formation?"

Shi Xiaole thought secretly, tapped his feet, and disappeared into the bamboo forest in the blink of an eye.

"This kid has a lot of secrets."

Old man Zhongtian's time hadn't come yet, so he could only watch Shi Xiaole leave first.

……

The bamboos in the Weird Bamboo Forest are not green, but red, glowing magnificently in the sunlight.The ground is also covered with red leaves, and there are occasional paths leading to the depths, which are mysterious and remote.

Shi Xiaole chose one of them and walked in.

About two quarters of an hour later, the bamboo forest was a little thinner, and many figures appeared.The Human Shadow Center is an open space covering an area of ​​tens of square meters arranged in a chessboard pattern.In each of the four directions, there is a mottled stone statue as tall as an adult.

At this moment, there is a swordsman standing on the chessboard, bearing the successive attacks of the four stone statues.

After dozens of strokes, the swordsman was knocked down.

"Wang Yulang was at the fourth level of profound energy, so he lasted for so long. Besides, these four stone statues are too hard, so they didn't get damaged."

"What do you know? This is the masterpiece of the Four Elephants Sect thousands of years ago. I heard that the disciples of the Four Elephants Sect can fight ten against one in the same realm. What if the material of the stone statue is too poor?"

"Hey, I don't think you have comprehended the unity of human and sword, don't even think about passing the first test. But the first test is so difficult, how strong should the disciples of the Four Elephant Sect be?"

The crowd let out exclamations of varying sizes.

The entire weird bamboo forest is arranged in a ring shape, and the outermost periphery is many stone statues of the first pass, so only by passing the first pass can you enter the second pass area smoothly.

It's a pity that although Qingxue Prefecture is very big, those who can comprehend the realm of the unity of human and instrument at the level of profound energy are either elites of the sect or master disciples, and there are very few ordinary quacks.

So most people came here to use the stone statue array to improve their fighting skills, and it would be even better if they could understand the unity of man and machine.

"This time the opportunity is used up, and I have to go back to grab the meditation stone again."

"I waited for three months before it was my turn. Forget it, let's go to other places in the rivers and lakes to improve my strength, otherwise I won't be able to grab it."

Many people were about to leave, but they suddenly saw Shi Xiaole approaching, and stopped again.

"Young Xia Shi, you are finally here."

Hu Hao greeted him with a big smile.He also went up to try it just now, but in the end he only blocked 36 moves from the stone statue formation.

"This person should be Shi Xiaole. It must not be difficult to pass the first level."

"Oh, that's him?"

Many people followed Shi Xiaole's battle with Lin Laosan before, so it was not difficult to guess his identity.And those who stayed in the first level for a long time, they couldn't help being a little interested when they heard what everyone said.

"Guan Fei from the Guan family has passed the third stage. I wonder how many stages Shi Xiaole can pass?"

"The third level is impossible, the second level has a [-]% chance."

"Fifty percent? Is it too exaggerated? You must know that even a peak swordsman who combines human and sword can't pass the second level."

Amidst the discussion, Shi Xiaole walked to the stone statue formation.

The stone statue array is composed of 64 [-] stone grids. Shi Xiaole observed it just now and found that the stone statues moved back and forth through the gaps between the stone grids, which looked like some kind of advanced combination formation.

"We've already tested it, so why not go up and try it, Young Xia Shi, so as to open our eyes."

A grey-clothed swordsman laughed loudly.

"Yes, yes, for a genius like Shi Shaoxia, he must be able to pass the first level in less than fifteen moves."

Immediately someone echoed, causing many people at the scene to look strange.

Shi Xiaole's rise was so fast that one couldn't help being jealous.

Just now, these two people were not so much a compliment as a flattery.In case Shi Xiaole made a mistake, or failed to break through within fifteen moves, they would have something to say.

But it is not so easy to break through the first stone statue formation within fifteen moves.Two months ago, there was a swordsman who was at the peak of human-sword integration, and it took 33 moves to pass the first level.

As for that swordsman, he was a seasoned veteran, no matter his experience or adaptability, Shi Xiaole, who was still young, could not compare to him.

"Genius also needs time to grow. It's Shi Shaoxia's first attempt. It's great to pass the test."

Hu Hao couldn't help but speak for Shi Xiaole and remind everyone.

Indeed, in terms of age, in the history of Qingxue Prefecture, very few people were able to break through the first hurdle of stone statues before the age of 20.It is too strict to demand Shi Xiaole with fifteen moves.

Many people snorted secretly.

Shi Xiaole smiled kindly at Hu Hao, this time without the urging of the crowd, he jumped onto the stone grid.In an instant, an invisible pressure pressed against him, forcing him to use his inner strength.

boom.

The four stone statues moved immediately.Shi Xiaole found that the stone statue moved much slower than the previous scene.

"It turns out that the power of the formation of the Stone Statue Array will adjust the attack strength according to the cultivation base of the passer-by. In this way, the influence of the realm is eliminated, and the realm of the instrument and the way of fighting are simply tested. What was the Four Elephant Gate back then? The presence."

The thought was fleeting, and the four stone statues rushed forward like pies, or punched, or palmed, with violent and violent vigor, enough to crush four masters of the ninth level of Qi at the same time.

If Shi Xiaole chooses to defend, then he must be restrained everywhere. If he chooses to attack, then he must first pay attention not to be hit by the opponent, and ensure that he can repel the stone statue.

As for flying away with lightness skills, I'm sorry, once your feet leave the stone grid, the formation will stop functioning, and you will be deemed to have failed to pass the level.

So whether it is attacking, defending, or dodging, it is not a good choice.

At this moment, Shi Xiaole finally understood the difficulty of the stone statue formation. No wonder there are so many masters in the profound energy realm in Qingxue Prefecture, not many of them can break through.

"Why should I follow your rhythm."

There is no panic, no confusion, what Shi Xiaole has is just an indomitable edge.He never liked being led by the nose. A real master can always control the overall situation. It's not that I follow you, but you follow me.

Ding……

A series of clashing sounds of gold and iron sounded, like beads falling on a jade plate, and the continuous stabbing sounds finally connected into a line, regardless of each other.

While sparks were spraying, Shi Xiaole stabbed three swords in a row, forcefully stopping the movement of the stone statue in front of him, half of his punches were too powerful to use, like a child shooting a gun, and the full backlash immediately exploded in all directions.

Shi Xiaole seemed to have anticipated this step in advance, his body moved horizontally to the right, in an unbiased position, and just stopped at the flaw in the stone statue's palm technique on the right.

The stone statue on the right side is really amazing, but instead of advancing, it retreats.

With an indifferent expression on his face, Shi Xiaole exerted force with his arm, and the blade of the Qingfeng sword hit the back of the stone statue on the right almost simultaneously, causing its movement to stagnate for an instant.

Ouch!
The strength of the fist struck, shaking the stone statue on the right side violently, and it stopped there.

After solving one stone statue, the remaining three are easy.Combined strike formation is all about teamwork, if one piece is missing, the power will be reduced by at least [-]%.

The sword energy was like a rainbow, overlapping fast and slow, wherever Shi Xiaole swung his long sword, there was an impenetrable shadow of the sword.

brush.

Shi Xiaole put the sword back into its sheath.

It took a full three breaths before the sword shadow in the air faded away, leaving behind four completely motionless stone statues.

Whether they were looking forward to it, watching a good show, or staying indifferent, everyone couldn't help taking a deep breath at this moment.

There are also people's eyes that almost protrude directly from the eye sockets.

"Seven, seven swords, he only used seven swords just now?"

"Illusion, it must be an illusion."

"I once heard that if the passers-by can meet certain requirements, they will be rewarded by the masters of the Four Elephant Sect hidden in the stone statue formation. I don't know if Shi Xiaole has hope."

If before this, there were still many people who believed that Shi Xiaole's rumors were too exaggerated, but now, there was no doubt, only shock.

The faces of the two who had intentionally killed Shi Xiaole earlier twitched, and they wanted to say something, but they couldn't say anything.

The old man Zhongtian was also in the crowd, his expression was deep, he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Young Xia Shi, after passing the first level, you must not step down and go directly to the next level, otherwise you will start all over again."

Hu Hao said loudly.

Of course Shi Xiaole knew this rule, nodded to Hu Hao, walked through the stone statues to the next path.Behind him, everyone was immediately isolated by the formation and disappeared without a trace.

"I don't know what will happen in the next few levels."

In the previous battle, Shi Xiaole only used [-]% to [-]% of his strength, not even Jian Xin.

Since the completion of the qi flotation technique, his mental strength has been improved to a level that even the top masters of the profound energy realm cannot match. Therefore, his ability to grasp the fighter is so strong that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

In the area where the second level is located, there are no trails, and the quacks who come in can walk around at will.Along the way, Shi Xiaole found several Jianghu people with terrifying auras, as well as some corpses.

This is another attraction of the Weird Bamboo Forest.

Because of the inaccessibility of spirit pass realm masters, this place has instead become a refuge for many profound pass realm masters. Many people died of old age here, and their belongings were left here.

Coupled with factors such as fighting and killing, for the masters who can enter the second level, this place is simply a treasure land. If you are lucky, you may be able to find the treasure you like.

Of course, with opportunity comes danger.Some people have secretly regarded Shi Xiaole as a fat sheep, but they are not in a hurry to act.If the opponent can't pass the second hurdle, it's not too late to make a move.

There are four stone statues in the first pass, and eight in the second pass.

23 Sword.

Shi Xiaole passed the second hurdle easily.

"what?"

Several people hiding in the dark changed color.
