C17 King of Hundred Weapons

To enter the Trial Land, one must first secure the consent of their master, as the Trial Land adheres to a strict rule: each individual is responsible for their own life and death!

After a brief rest, Xiao Feng headed directly to the Trial Land. With no opportunity to ambush and eliminate Hai Qingyu, he knew he needed to thoroughly prepare for the decisive battle that loomed three months ahead.

A lion uses its full strength even when hunting a rabbit!

Upon arriving at the Trial Land, Xiao Feng's gaze was immediately drawn to an immense Teleportation Magic Array. Inscribed beside the Magic Array were imposing characters: "Trial Land" at the top, and on either side, "Enter the Secret Realm, Life and Death are on your own!"

The sight was truly awe-inspiring.

"Are you Xiao Feng?" An elder materialized beside him.

"I am."

"Entry to the Trial Land requires a payment of fifty top-grade Spirit Stones."

Fifty top-grade Spirit Stones? The cost was steep. Without the gains from the Extreme Spirit Secret Realm, Xiao Feng would have struggled to produce even ten top-grade Spirit Stones.

After paying the Spirit Stones, Xiao Feng obtained a token that granted him access through the Teleportation Magic Array into the Trial Land. This token also provided a means of retreat should he encounter any insurmountable dangers within.

With token in hand, Xiao Feng successfully entered the Trial Land.

Emerging from the Teleportation Magic Array, he steadied himself and took in his surroundings, only to be left utterly stunned.

The scent of blood hung heavy in the air, and the oppressive, darkened sky was reminiscent of the scene he witnessed upon acquiring the Overlord Spear.

"Senior, is this place not..."

"It's undoubtedly due to the Overlord Spear you carry," the armored figure analyzed with composure. "I've never ventured into this Trial Land before. It's truly extraordinary."

Mid-conversation, a contingent of soldiers burst forth from the ground, each clad in heavy armor and wielding a variety of weapons.

Upon spotting Xiao Feng, they formed ranks and charged at him.

Their charge was a unified force, their synchronized steps enough to instill dread in the bravest of hearts!

This wasn't as simple as adding one plus one to get two. The collective strength of the soldiers surged like a wild beast, their murderous intent reaching for the heavens!

Xiao Feng stood resolute, a long spear formed of Spiritual Force materializing in his grasp, held casually in one hand. As the soldiers neared, ready to charge, Xiao Feng took a sudden step forward, his grip shifting from one hand to two, and he unleashed a sweeping blow.

Boom!

A vast wave of Spiritual Force swept across the field. Despite the soldiers' formidable presence, they stood no chance against Xiao Feng's overwhelming power. Cut in half by his spear, they dissipated into mere particles of Spiritual Qi.

Before Xiao Feng could catch his breath, another wave of soldiers emerged, this time mounted on Strange Beasts! The mysterious voice echoed once more in the armor, "Isn't this the same scene as before?"

The armor exhaled deeply, "I sensed it as soon as he entered. But these things have only recreated the form, not the 'Force'."

The voice chuckled, "If that 'Force' were present, our little friend wouldn't stand a chance!"

"It's for the best. This is the perfect place to hone his spear intent."

As they conversed, Xiao Feng had already vanquished two more enemy waves, and the adversaries were now significantly more formidable than at the outset.

After Xiao Feng dispatched several more waves, the eighth brought no army, but a single armored figure – the general of the forces! His arrival sent a wave of terror across the Trial Land, a murderous aura born from countless slayings.

Xiao Feng recognized the gravity of the situation instantly; this general was more formidable than all previous foes combined. In the face of such an adversary, Xiao Feng knew he had to strike first.

But as he made his move, the iron-clad general drew his blade and brought it down in a swift, straight cut.

Ci! Ci!

The sound of the blade aura slicing through the air was chilling. In a mere moment, it was upon Xiao Feng, who had yet to take a single step. Desperate, he braced his spear in defense, but against the relentless blade aura, his Spiritual Force-constructed spear seemed hopelessly inadequate.

The long spear shattered in a flash. Xiao Feng, seizing the moment, rolled away to dodge a lethal blow, yet a lengthy gash still marred his flesh.

What a horrifying encounter!

Confronting such a formidable foe, Xiao Feng no longer concealed his strength, promptly drawing the Overlord Spear to engage in combat.

But as soon as the Overlord Spear appeared, the general astonishingly knelt, sword in hand, his body quivering subtly.

What was happening?

"Senior, senior, can you explain this?"

Xiao Feng decided not to ponder the effects of the Overlord Spear and instead directly questioned the armor.

The armor boasted with pride, "Throughout history, the spear has reigned as the king of weapons, and the Overlord Spear is the monarch among them. It was forged in response to that blade, so naturally, it commands submission and reverence."

"Are you saying that with the Overlord Spear, I could easily dominate this place?"

"That would defeat the purpose of your journey here."

Xiao Feng had no intention of exploiting such an unfair advantage to succeed in the Trial. He stowed the Overlord Spear and once again used Spiritual Force to form a new long spear.

In that instant, the Iron-armored General rose to his feet, his sword no longer wavering but instead unleashing an even more formidable blade aura with a sweeping slash.

"Remember, the spear must trace a straight line! The spear's full potential is unleashed only when it strikes along a direct path!"

Heeding the armor's timely advice, Xiao Feng thrust the spear forward in a straight push.

The spear tip emitted a fearsome gleam, aiming for the very heart of the blade aura, its most acute yet fragile point.

Upon contact, Xiao Feng felt an overwhelming power surge through the spear into his body, rampaging within him.

Moreover, amidst this chaos, Xiao Feng caught glimpses of endless mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the skeletal remains of those slain by the blade.

This was the essence of the blade—bloodthirsty and brutal!

The blade aura advanced inch by inch, the long spear dissipating from the tip just as gradually. Yet with each inch gained, the blade aura weakened until, at last, as the entire spear vanished, it too was vanquished.

The Iron-armored General had no intention of allowing Xiao Feng a moment to recover. In an instant, he was upon him, swinging his blade directly at Xiao Feng's head with no opportunity for evasion.

In that split second, Xiao Feng drew the Overlord Spear.

The Iron-armored General abruptly halted his descending blade and once again fell to his knees, shaking all over.

While Xiao Feng would not normally resort to such tactics to pass a challenge, leveraging them to preserve his own life seemed entirely justifiable.
