[Corpse Soul Sword] (0/100): A Corpse Soldier’s sword that can obtain blood qi from killing other Corpse Soldiers and evolve. This is a piece of soul equipment and can be fused with one’s soul.

[Corpse Soul Armour] (0/100): Corpse Soldier’s armor that can obtain blood qi from killing other Corpse Soldiers and evolve. This is a piece of soul equipment and can be fused with one’s soul.

So they were soul equipment that could be fused with one’s soul. This was the first time that Zhao Fu had seen such a thing, and after putting on the armor and equipping the sword, he had become much stronger, and he felt more confident.

He caught up to the heavily-injured Corpse Soldier, and seeing him, the Corpse Soldier roared as it rushed over and slashed at him. However, Zhao Fu used his sword to block but was forced back four or five steps, and the webbing between his thumb and forefinger was torn, causing blood to flow out.

Zhao Fu had underestimated this Corpse Soldier – even though it was heavily wounded, it would not be easy to deal with. As such, Zhao Fu could only dodge about to wear the Corpse Soldier out.

After a while, the Corpse Soldier could barely move anymore and was unable to hit Zhao Fu. Seeing that he had worn it down, Zhao Fu decided to face off against it directly.

The Corpse Soldier swung its sword, but Zhao Fu dodged to the side and stabbed his sword into the Corpse Soldier’s heart. Zhao Fu had a lot of battle experience, so with enough strength, Zhao Fu could easily kill an enemy.

Zhao Fu pulled out his sword, and the Corpse Soldier’s body collapsed to the ground. Traces of blood-red qi flowed into his body, and he received three system announcements.

“System announcement! The Corpse Soul Sword has obtained ten Corpse Soul Qi!”

“System announcement! The Corpse Soul Armour has obtained ten Corpse Soul Qi!”

“System announcement! You have killed a Corpse Soldier, and your profession has become Corpse Soldier. You can kill Corpse Soldiers to level up!”

Zhao Fu felt quite surprised and found that he was now a Level 1 Corpse Soldier. He felt that this was quite like a role-playing game where he could kill monsters to obtain experience to level up. At the same time, Zhao Fu’s aura became like that of a Corpse Soldier’s as well.

Zhao Fu wondered how everyone else was doing in their Trial Spaces. Now, Zhao Fu had the ability to defend himself. Even though he could not directly face off against any Corpse Soldiers, he could find some weakened ones to bully.

Following this, Zhao Fu started to search for some heavily-wounded Corpse Soldiers to deal with.

Three hours later, Zhao Fu finally sliced off the head of the Corpse Soldier he was fighting, and he leveled up to Level 2. His Cultivation was now equivalent to Stage 0-5.

Because it took quite a long time to find weakened Corpse Soldiers, leveling up was quite slow; it took him roughly three hours to level up once. However, now that he had Stage 0-5 strength, he could consider fighting an ordinary Stage 1 Corpse Soldier. Right now, his Corpse Soul Sword and Corpse Soul Armour were Level 2 as well.

Zhao Fu started to look for a Corpse Soldier to fight, but after fighting, Zhao Fu realized that things had not gone as well as he had expected. After all, fighting a Stage 1 Corpse Soldier while he was only Stage 0-5 was quite difficult.

Clang!

Zhao Fu used all of his strength to slash out a blood-red sword qi, sending the Corpse Soldier in front of him flying, but he was also hit by its attack.

The Corpse Soldier quickly got back on its feet and rushed at Zhao Fu.

Zhao Fu’s expression became determined, and he also charged up. After a few bouts, he finally killed the other side.

This battle had taken Zhao Fu more than an hour, and he had taken some damage. However, he did not have much choice except to hunt down weakened Corpse Soldiers. He just hoped that after leveling up to Level 3, he would have Stage 1 Cultivation, which would make it easier to kill Corpse Soldiers.

As Zhao Fu continued to look for Corpse Soldiers, he found a region with trees growing densely together. Behind them was a cliff that was hundreds of meters tall. Luckily, Zhao Fu was not traveling quickly, so he was able to stop in time. Otherwise, he could have fallen down.

Looking at this cliff, Zhao Fu felt some inspiration and thought of a good way to quickly kill Corpse Soldiers.

A few hours later, Zhao Fu once again threw a rock at a Corpse Soldier, hitting its head. The next instant, the Corpse Soldier turned and ran at him, and Zhao Fu immediately ran.

Because he now had Stage 0-5 strength, Zhao Fu was much faster. Because of the distance between them, the Corpse Soldier was only able to slowly close the distance.

Seeing the familiar thicket of trees ahead, Zhao Fu rushed in, while the Corpse Soldier behind him roared and also followed him in.

Bang!

A muffled bang sounded out as Zhao Fu gripped a vine and looked at the Corpse Soldier that had fallen down the cliff with a smile. He then received three system announcements.

“System announcement! The Corpse Soul Sword has obtained ten Corpse Soul Qi!”

“System announcement! The Corpse Soul Armour has obtained ten Corpse Soul Qi!”

“System announcement! You have killed a Corpse Soldier and received 100 Corpse Soul Qi!”

So this also counted as killing Corpse Soldiers. Zhao Fu decided to use this method to kill a large number of Corpse Soldiers.

Another five hours later, it was still daytime, making Zhao Fu wonder if there was night time in this Trial Space. After repeating this method again and again, Zhao Fu had reached Level 3 and now had Stage 1 strength.

Now, Zhao Fu did not have to worry at all. Seeing a Corpse Soldier ahead of him, his sword unleashed a blood-red sword qi as he attacked that Corpse Soldier.

A few bouts later, Zhao Fu was able to easily kill the Corpse Soldier. Zhao Fu had thought that he could just quickly level up like this, but he was soon found by a Stage 2 Corpse Soldier, forcing him back.

Everything he had was sealed, except his battle experience. However, in the face of sufficient strength, battle experience was still not enough.

Zhao Fu once again thought of that cliff – it seemed that the easy way out would be much more efficient that gloriously fighting.

Zhao Fu once again rushed into the thicket of trees, and the Stage 2 Corpse Soldier followed behind him, and soon, another muffled bang sounded out.

“System announcement! The Corpse Soul Sword has obtained 40 Corpse Soul Qi!”

“System announcement! The Corpse Soul Armour has obtained 40 Corpse Soul Qi!”

“System announcement! You have killed a Corpse Soldier and received 400 Corpse Soul Qi!”

After hearing the system announcements, Zhao Fu found that the Stage 2 Corpse Soldiers were worth four times as much as the Stage 1 Corpse Soldiers. As such, Zhao Fu decided to look for Stage 2 Corpse Soldiers to level up even faster. However, he could not outrun Stage 2 Corpse Soldiers on horses, as they would be too fast.

A while later, Zhao Fu once again leveled up, and he now had Stage 1-5 strength. Now, he could easily deal with ordinary Corpse Soldiers, but he could not yet deal with the higher grade ones.

A day later, Zhao Fu stood next to the bodies of ten or so Corpse Soldiers. He was now Stage 2 and did not have to worry about Stage 2 Corpse Soldiers anymore, which he could easily kill.

Following this, Zhao Fu continued to look for corpse soldiers.

At that moment, Zhao Fu discovered something unexpected – it was a Corpse General riding a Corpse Horse. Its strength was at Stage 4, and Zhao Fu felt that after killing it, he would definitely receive something special. After all, this Corpse General was definitely a Boss.

Perhaps after killing it, Zhao Fu would receive some information on this Trial Space, but because Zhao Fu could not beat it in a fight, he had to think of another way.

Zhao Fu once again thought back to that cliff, and an evil smile appeared on his face.
