C88 Uplevel

"Seems like it's very easy?" After killing the desert killer scorpion, Qin Yuan felt like he hadn't warmed up yet. The whole process was an easy one.

If anyone else were to find out about this, they would probably be so angry that they would vomit blood.

How many 1-star Martial Masters were able to pass the first level of the Illusory Dream Tower? Even if they managed to pass, most of them would have to put in all their effort to barely win, or else the attribute of the Supreme Qi would be just enough to restrain the Desolate Killing Scorpion. Only then would they be able to relax a little.

Outside the Illusory Dream Tower, Yang Cheng and Fang Li, who were waiting for Qin Yuan to fail and leave, were shocked to discover that Qin Yuan's name had appeared on the first level of the leaderboard.

"How is this possible!" Fang Li cried out in alarm.

Yang Cheng's face seemed to have been slapped. Previously, he had successfully passed the first level when he was a 2-star Martial Master, relying on his superior cultivation realm. Now that Qin Yuan had passed the test at the level of a 1-star Martial Master, didn't that mean he was stronger than him?

"Let me ask you, did Qin Yuan's astral energy happen to restrain that desert scorpion?"

Fang Li had heard that Qin Yuan's Martial Seal seemed to be of the thunder attribute, and it did not restrain the Desolate Scorpion from killing people. However, when Fang Li saw Yang Cheng's unsightly expression, he could only think to himself, "It seems so! "That's right, it must be due to the counter attributes that allowed him to pass the first level."

When Yang Cheng heard this, his expression relaxed a little.

Inside the Dreamscape Tower, Qin Yuan opened his eyes and took out the Dreamscape Token from the slot in front of him. He then stood up.

He Dandan and He Qing Qing's eyes were still tightly shut. They were probably in a fantasy battle with the desert scorpion.

"I can only leave the Compendium Pavilion three times a month, so I have to make good use of it." Qin Yuan looked at the stairs leading to the second floor and walked up without hesitation.

After arriving on the second floor, the number of martial artists that were trying to pass the trial had obviously decreased. There were less than half of them.

Among these people, Qin Yuan quickly found Zhan Ling, who was currently sitting cross-legged and immersed in a dream world on the second floor. The seat beside him just happened to be empty, so Qin Yuan simply chose that seat and sat down.

After inserting the Illusory Dream Token, Qin Yuan closed his eyes and circulated the astral energy. He then entered the second level of the Illusory Dream World.

Unlike the desert world on the first level, the second level was a quiet valley filled with the fragrance of green mountains, water, and flowers. After coming here, Qin Yuan even drank a mouthful of clear spring water, feeling refreshed and refreshed.

"As a dream, isn't this a bit too real?"

Qin Yuan did not dare to relax his guard. This was the second level of the Fantasy World. If he were to use the first level's difficulty to calculate, then the danger would be something that not even a normal two star Martial Master would be able to pass.

Traveling in such a peaceful valley, even if one knew they were in a fantasy world, it was hard to stay on guard for long.

A vigilant person like Qin Yuan, after walking a few miles, unconsciously relaxed and began to enjoy the pleasant scenery.

Unbeknownst to them, a pair of eyes that emitted a ghostly light was staring straight at Qin Yuan.

Seeing Qin Yuan's increasingly lower guard, even the broadsword that he had initially taken out was taken back into the Universe Ring. He squatted down by the river without any precautions. The owner of those eyes finally could not help but launch his attack.

"Swish!"

A shadow emerged from the thicket of brambles. It was a strange demonic beast with the head of a snake and the body of a bird, as thick as a man's wrist.

This demonic beast's speed was astonishingly fast. While it was still in the air, its eyes shot out two beams of cold azure light towards the back of Qin Yuan's head.

The intensity of these two cold lights was something that even a two star Martial Master would find difficult to withstand, let alone the defenseless Qin Yuan.

However, was Qin Yuan really not on guard at all?

The broadsword returned to the Universe Ring, but Qin Yuan's cultivation was not only on the sword. On the contrary, so far, he was more proficient in martial arts.

"Shocking Waves!"

In the nick of time, Qin Yuan suddenly turned around and struck out with the first form of the Lancang Finger – Wave Surge. The astral energy emitted from his fingertips collided with the two cold lights, actually neutralizing both attacks at the same time.

"If my willpower wasn't stronger than ordinary people, I'm afraid I would have been tricked by you!" Qin Yuan did not care whether the magical beast understood or not as he spoke in a deep voice.

After coming to this dreamy world, Qin Yuan could feel that the air was filled with a trace of an undetectable sweet smell. After inhaling it, he unconsciously began to relax his guard.

Although he was a bit surprised in his heart, Qin Yuan did not show it on the surface. He secretly channeled the Tyrant Body Martial Seal and the Ice Vein Martial Seal to remove the interference from the aura.

As expected, the magical beast took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, but Qin Yuan, who had always been on guard, blocked the fatal attack.

After being seen through by Qin Yuan, the magical beast didn't dodge. Instead, it turned its head to observe Qin Yuan, preparing to launch a second attack.

If that magical beast could only use its aura to confuse people, then the second level of the Fantasy World wouldn't be that difficult. At the very least, it would be able to pass the second time in the Mausoleum of Books.

Putting aside the ability to lower one's guard, that magical beast was a genuine peak 2nd-level magical beast. Its battle power was not to be underestimated!

"Swish!"

That magical beast turned into lightning. Its speed had already exceeded the limit of what Qin Yuan's motion vision could catch. Even the speed of the white boat, which originally possessed the Godspeed Martial Seal, was incomparable.

"Zi la!"

By the time Qin Yuan reacted, a large portion of his defensive qi barrier had been broken by the demonic beast.

As the broadsword was summoned, Qin Yuan did not hesitate to slash the air near the spot where there was no longer the protection of the astral energy.

With the sound of a bird's cry, the magical beast was sent flying by the broadsword. Its body was covered in blood, and its injuries were clearly not light.

Qin Yuan's swordplay was not fast, but after experiencing the baptism of the library's theories on the way of the sword, his understanding of the sword had even surpassed Zhan LingTian's.

"Although this magical beast is fast and its attack power is strong, its defensive power is comparable to a normal rank two star magical beast." Qin Yuan quickly made his judgement, "But if you want to win against it, you probably need to use a powerful offensive martial skill on a large scale. "That's exactly what I don't have …"

In fact, even if an ordinary two star Martial Master were to use a large area of attack, he would not be able to deal a fatal blow to the magical beast even if he exhausted his Supreme Force.

Most of the martial artists that passed through this illusion world used their range attacks to kill that magical beast after advancing to a 3-star Martial Master.

"In that case, I'm afraid that I can only use that move …"

Although the magical beast was not lightly injured, that sword strike still did not affect its strength. After getting up, the snake coiled around a small tree and coldly stared at Qin Yuan.

Under the frightening gaze of the demonic beast, Qin Yuan gradually relaxed his body. In his mind, he constantly recalled the time when he shattered the white boat's sensing crystal and entered the state.

In this kind of 'life or death situation' where he had to imitate combat, he would either succeed in slashing with his sword, or he would fail and leave the world of illusions.

At this moment, the demonic beast sitting on the tree also took action. It turned into a soundless flash of light as it brazenly attacked Qin Yuan, who was raising his sword horizontally in the air!
