Chapter 398 The golden-armored guards went too far; the beating hurt terribly.
Upon entering the second floor, Si Nansheng felt as if her soul was being sucked out.
She wasn't in a hurry; instead, she took some time to get used to it before venturing deeper into the area.
With each step he took, Si Nansheng felt as if his soul was being constantly tempered.
Taking a deep breath, Si Nansheng found a place to sit down and then began to cultivate with her eyes closed.
Those cultivators who had reached the second level or were preparing to go to the third level found Si Nansheng's actions very strange.
After easily handling the second level, Si Nansheng felt there would be no more problems before proceeding to the third level.
There were far fewer people on the third floor than on the first and second floors, but Si Nansheng didn't pay much attention to it.
She stayed on the third floor for a while, and feeling no change or discomfort, she went to the fourth floor.
Si Nansheng had not encountered Ye Yanqing and the others, presumably they had gone to a higher level or left the Trial Tower.
Si Nansheng went up floor by floor, not knowing exactly which floor she reached. She only knew that there were fewer and fewer people, until eventually, she couldn't see anyone at all.
"Congratulations on completing the eighth level of the trial. Please choose whether to proceed to the ninth level or give up and leave."
A familiar voice rang in Si Nansheng's ears, and she was stunned. It was already the eighth round, and they were still giving her another choice.
Go to the ninth floor or give up?
Of course, we should head to the ninth floor!
I wonder if there are any rewards on the ninth floor.
"Head to the ninth floor." As soon as Si Nansheng finished speaking, a golden light fell on her, and her figure disappeared on the eighth floor.
Si Nansheng looked around and raised an eyebrow. The ninth floor was actually a battle arena.
Is it time for a fight?
Before Si Nansheng could react, a golden figure appeared opposite her.
"Hiss~ Good heavens, golden-armored guards, are they trying to make me fight them? Won't I get beaten to death?" Si Nansheng gasped.
"Is it too late for me to quit now?" Si Nansheng scratched his head.
Si Nansheng tilted her head and looked at the golden-armored guard, who was also looking at her.
Since there was no way to back out, Si Nansheng naturally had to give it his all.
The giant hammer was gone; she raised her hand, and a spirit sword appeared in her grasp.
Meanwhile, the golden-armored guard opposite her also produced a spirit sword that was exactly the same as hers.
Si Nansheng paused for a moment, as if she understood what was going on with the ninth floor.
Si Nansheng fought with the golden-armored guard, and soon she discovered that the guard's defense and attack power were almost identical to hers.
Even their moves are exactly the same.
For a time, neither of them could resolve the other's situation.
Si Nansheng was panting heavily. She knew that the only way to deal with the golden-armored guard in front of her was to break through her own limits.
After Ye Yanqing and the others came out of the Trial Tower, they waited for a long time, but Si Nansheng did not come out. They began to worry, fearing that something had happened to Si Nansheng.
Two days, three days, four days passed. Although Si Nansheng did not emerge, the Trial Tower continued to show that there was still one person alive, so everyone could only wait.
Five days had passed when Si Nansheng emerged from the Trial Tower. Ye Yanqing and the others were horrified when they saw the wounds on Si Nansheng's body.
"So you're out?" Si Nansheng scratched his head.
"Junior Sister, how are you? Are you alright?" Bai Ye looked at Si Nansheng with concern.
"It seems he's not really going to die, but he hit him way too hard." Si Nansheng pouted, feeling wronged.
"What? Who hit you?" Bai Ye and the others were shocked. They were outside and hadn't noticed anyone else in the Trial Tower.
"That golden-armored guard on the ninth floor, he went too far, he hit me so hard." Si Nansheng muttered, and everyone fell silent.
This girl actually made it to the ninth floor and fought with the golden-armored guards for so long?
"Did you win?" Ye Yanqing asked softly.
"I don't know either. I was beaten so badly that I had no chance to fight back. I could only use my strongest sword strike. As a result, the golden-armored guard disappeared, and I was also taken out."
Si Nansheng tearfully complained, and everyone looked at her helplessly.
She had cleared the ninth floor, and the golden-armored guards had all disappeared, yet she remained here, feeling wronged.
Many of them knew very well what the ninth floor of the Trial Tower was.
Those were golden-armored guards, a perfect one-to-one replica of the trial participants.
Sometimes, they would beat each other so badly they were covered in wounds, but they still couldn't clear the level.
"Junior Sister, you're amazing." Ye Yanqing looked at Si Nansheng helplessly, and Si Nansheng scratched her head.
She didn't seem to have done anything.
"Sect Master Ye, I never expected that your Four Gods Sect would have such a monstrous genius!"
"But I've never seen this disciple before. Who is he? How come he's so skilled?"
"Haha, you flatter me." Sect Leader Ye's face beamed with joy, but he remained humble.
Actually, he didn't expect that Si Nansheng would actually clear the ninth level.
Generally speaking, once you clear the seventh or eighth floor, you're considered invincible.
Who would have thought that such an unknown little girl would actually pass the ninth level?
"Alright, the winners have been selected: three talisman masters and array masters, and seven other cultivators. Now, everyone can rest for two days before the final competition begins, where the first, second, and third place winners will be chosen from each group."
After the sect leaders left, everyone looked at Si Nansheng, who was then taken away by Ye Yanqing and the others.
"Junior Sister, is there a golden-armored guard on the ninth floor?" Mo Yu asked, leaning on the table and looking at Si Nansheng. Si Nansheng nodded.
"Just how powerful is that golden-armored guard?" Mo Yu asked again.
"He's incredibly powerful. His cultivation level, defensive capabilities, and techniques are almost a perfect replica. If it weren't for the fact that my self-created sword technique unleashed its divine power at the end, I'm afraid I wouldn't know how long I would have had to fight him."
Si Nansheng sighed. Just thinking about it was terrifying. If the fight continued, even if the opponent couldn't kill her, they could wear her down.
"I heard there are special rewards for clearing the ninth level of the Trial Tower, but very few people actually clear it. Did you get the reward, Junior Sister?"
Ye Yanqing asked Si Nansheng, and everyone else looked at her as well.
Si Nansheng smiled and waved his hand, and a golden-armored guard appeared beside him.
"Wow, Junior Sister, did you bring out the Golden Armor Guards from the Trial Tower?" Mo Yu and the others stared at the Golden Armor Guards in shock, while Si Nansheng chuckled.
"Now, please open your eyes wide and witness the moment of miracle." Si Nansheng stood up with a smile and stood next to the golden-armored guard.
Then, everyone saw the golden-armored guard's figure gradually shrink, then change, until it looked exactly like Si Nansheng, and then it stopped.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the two junior sisters in front of them, and both of them showed the exact same smile.
The two looked at each other and simultaneously used the Flowing Clouds and Mysterious Steps, then stood in the same spot again.
Ye Yanqing and the others were completely dumbfounded. Which of these two was the real Si Nansheng?
"Which of you is my junior sister?" Mo Yu and Bai Ye walked over and circled around in front of the two of them.
