Chapter 474: Chapter 473: World Tree

“You’re not a pet? You can talk…”

With narrowed eyes, Qin Duyou seemed to have discovered Lu Zixun’s identity, and he smiled, “So it’s Lu Zixun from Demon Country. No wonder Zhen Zhuoxiu was able to deal with those Snow Spirits in the city district.”

The Night Slayer Sword appeared by Lu Zixun’s side.

Lu Zixun looked at Qin Duyou and sneered, “Scram.”

“Before, I didn’t know your identity, and I might have been a bit harsh, sorry about that,” Qin Duyou said with a grin, sword pointing at Lu Zixun.

“Now it’ll take five thousand points, or else I’ll post the video of your defeat on Night Talk Forum, which would damage your reputation.”

His tone suggested he was looking out for Lu Zixun, which made Lu Zixun feel a mix of laughter and dismay for a moment.

Does this guy have a problem with his brain, really thinking that with a sword in hand, he owns the world?

Feeling that continuing the conversation with Qin Duyou might affect his IQ, Lu Zixun thrust his sword straight forward.

“Ding—Detected Killing Intent Value from Qin Duyou +20000.”

It was seventeen thousand before, and now it has become twenty thousand.

Lu Zixun chuckled lightly; it seemed that his strength had indeed enhanced a lot in the Trial Land. He had somewhat forgotten his own last name.

He flipped his wrist and turned the blade to block the Night Slayer Sword.

Just as Qin Duyou was about to make a move, he found that his longsword had developed cracks. If he applied Spiritual Energy, it would definitely shatter.

Seeing the greed appear in Qin Duyou’s eyes, who had not expected the Night Slayer Sword to be so strong.

The strength of sword wielders was tied to the longswords they handled.

If he could get his hands on the Night Slayer Sword, he would be able to advance to J-level in at least three months!

“Your sword is not bad, but soon it will be mine!”

Qin Duyou’s eyes were fervent as he shattered his Spirit Sword in his hand.

The tiny sword shards split and headed to block the Night Slayer Sword’s second attack.

Spiritual Energy surged forth, and a Thunder Sword, flickering with blue electric arcs, appeared in Qin Duyou’s hand, slashing fiercely at Lu Zixun.

“Boom!”

The moment Qin Duyou moved, the sky was filled with the natural scene of thunder and lightning flashing.

It looked like Qin Duyou had some skill in controlling his Spiritual Energy.

No wonder he was so conceited before; it appears he had some tricks up his sleeve.

An Ice Wall rose up to block the lightning assault, and a Frost Barrier was thrown off, protecting An Xiao within.

The moment the Ice and Fire Domain opened, Gravity Suppression also slammed down with it.

Qin Duyou, feeling his body suddenly sink, staggered and nearly fell to the ground.

‘Extreme Cold·Frosty Winter is Coming’

Seeing that Qin Duyou seemed to have poor control over his body, Lu Zixun immediately transformed his domain into a frozen snowy land.

The temperature plummeted drastically, instantly dropping below Zero Point.

Qin Duyou’s arms trembled uncontrollably, filled with regret at this moment.

If he had trained in the lands of Extreme Cold at home earlier, he wouldn’t have suffered today.

But now was not the time to think about that.

Qin Duyou gritted his teeth and guided lightning from the sky, which cascaded down and directed through the Thunder Sword into his own body.

“Ah!”

In the moment the lightning entered his body, Qin Duyou let out a painful cry.

“He’s a werewolf.”

Seeing Qin Duyou so ruthless against himself, Lu Zixun nodded and commented.

But sigh as he might, while the other was ruthless, Lu Zixun was even more so.

Three types of Spiritual Energy infused into the Night Slayer Sword, ready to send Qin Duyou off the stage.

At the moment when Lu Zixun’s Night Slayer Sword made its move, Qin Duyou’s hair also stood on end from the electricity, and his eyes shone with blue light as he fearlessly struck back at the Night Slayer Sword.

“Damn!”

The moment their swords clashed, Sword Qi swept across Qin Duyou’s body.

The protective mechanism of the Trial Tower activated immediately, enveloping Qin Duyou in a light shield and directly sending him out.

At this time, Lu Zixun, who had just stepped out of the refrigerator, clenched his paws feeling a tingling sensation.

To be able to cause such an effect through the refrigerator, Qin Duyou was the first to achieve this.

For a J-level to have this kind of strength was not bad, but the person was too arrogant, points deducted.

“Lord Xun, is it handled?”

Zhen Zhuoxiu, who no longer sensed any Spiritual Energy fluctuations, emerged from the Shadow Space.

Seeing how cowardly Zhen Zhuoxiu appeared, Lu Zixun looked at him with disdain, “What’s wrong little bro, scared of a Thunder Energy Spiritual Ability User like that?”

Upon hearing this, Zhen Zhuoxiu’s face was all bitter smiles.

He didn’t want to be cowardly either, but thunder overpowered shadow; what could he do? He too was in despair.

Lu Zixun, hearing about opposing properties for the first time, shook his head without saying anything; strange indeed.

“This Superpower Technique of yours has a very high strength.”

An Xiao, who had come out of the refrigerator, looked at Lu Zixun and made this remark.

“Yeah, it’s a life-saving measure.”

Nodding in agreement, Lu Zixun admitted.

The strength of the Frost Barrier Superpower Technique was quite high indeed.

At the current stage, no one besides Qin Duyou just now had managed to inflict any effective harm on Lu Zixun.

Ice is water in solid form; could this be the reason why Qin Duyou’s thunder energy was able to cause damage?

With a contemplative look in her eyes, An Xiao asserted, “A Superpower Technique of this intensity shouldn’t exist in this world. The person who taught you this technique must have gone to the Second-order World.”

“I’ve always wanted to ask a question, but was too embarrassed to,” Zhen Zhuoxiu said after a pause, looking at An Xiao.

“If you come from the Second-order World, why don’t you have any Spiritual Energy?”

Curious about the same question, Lu Zixun pricked up his ears to listen to An Xiao.

“Half of the bloodline in my body is human, and the other half is elf, but the elf bloodline dominates,” An Xiao shook her head: “We need to go to the World Tree to receive the inheritance of power to possess Spiritual Energy.”

Upon hearing the three words “World Tree,” Lu Zixun’s eyes narrowed.

When his strength reached J-level, the system had awarded him a World Tree seed.

However, it was intercepted by an unknown force, to be obtained later.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Zixun asked, “What is the World Tree?”

“As the name implies, the World Tree is the tree that supports the structure of the world. It generally exists in the middle layers of every order of worlds, namely, in the Second, Sixth, and Eight-layer Worlds,” An Xiao paused before continuing, “If the World Tree were destroyed, the world would fall into a state of collapse, starting to perish layer by layer.”

Lu Zixun and Zhen Zhuoxiu exchanged glances upon hearing this.

If what An Xiao said were true, the World Tree should be very tall, so why had they never heard of it in the Crimson Land?

Hearing this question, An Xiao blinked, “Who told you the World Tree was very tall?”

“Isn’t it?”

Lu Zixun asked in return.

“No, the World Tree is not tall. It is just like an ordinary tree, but it is hidden in the interstitial layers of the world, making it hard to find.”

“Ding—Host has collected a World Mystery, current progress 7/178.”
