[Congratulations, your Qi Luck is playing a role, you are attracted to a pond ten meters to your left.]
[Looking through the slightly murky water, you see a dimly visible cave at the bottom of the pond. You realize that something may be hidden there and head towards the pond.]
[As you approach the edge of the pond, a demon suddenly leaps out of the water, attacking you. However, you respond quickly, launching a Fire Serpent that reduces the demon to ashes.]
[Carefully examining the cave beneath the pond, you notice clear signs of human presence. Intrigued, you decide to venture inside to find out more.]
[After determining there is no other danger in the pond, you leap into the water and quickly descend along the cave.]
[Two minutes later, you arrive at a strange underground space where a small stone hall appears before you.]
[Entering the stone hall, you immediately see a Minotaur Demon Statue standing in the center.]
[Drawing from your previous experience, you first check the changes in strength. To your surprise, you can’t use your physique’s Blood Power or Law Control System Blood Power here; only Secret Power Blood is available.] “Another restriction to using only one type of bloodline?”
Su Nan finds it strange and can’t understand why an ancient powerhouse would set up such a test.
The ancient humans cultivated ancient scriptures instead of bloodlines, but these scriptures were also divided into physique, secret power, and law control systems.
This can be seen from the three ancient scriptures available in the Contribution Mall.
“First is the physique series, then the secret power series, indicating that the spirit object in the Endless Icefield will likely require the power of the law control system to obtain.”
“Apparently, the ancient powerhouse wants to limit the martial artists who obtain the spirit object. Could they be trying to choose three martial artists who cultivate different systems?”
Su Nan can’t help but speculate.
[Sensing your arrival, the stone statue suddenly comes to life, opening its eyes.]
[The statue looks at you and speaks, telling you that the fact that you found your way here proves that you are a lucky person. However, obtaining the spirit object here requires more than just luck; you must defeat it.]
[You try to inquire about what the spirit object is, but the statue doesn’t tell you and instead launches an attack on you with its Divine Soul energy.]
[The statue’s realm changes according to the realm of the trial challenger. Your realm is Spirit Level Peak, and so is the statue’s. However, its strength is comparable to Mid-stage Xuan-leveL]
“Changing with the trial challenger’s realm? So that’s how it works.”
Thinking back to the Tree Demon he killed before, Su Nan finally understands how a spirit-level demon can guard spirit objects in an ancient trial site.
Although Spirit Level is considered decent in the current world, it would undoubtedly only be considered fodder in ancient times.
The demons’ realm is not high, but their strength is by no means weak. This time the stone statue has even reached the mid-stage Xuan-level!
Previously, the Tree Demon’s strength was only comparable to the early Xuan period.
But don’t underestimate this small realm gap; the difference between Spirit Level and Xuan Level is enormous.
When he was at the early stage of the Spirit Level, using his racial talent allowed him to easily kill a Peak Spirit-level demon. However, to deal with an Early Stage Xuan Level demon, he had to give it his all and plan carefully.
[In the face of the stone statue’s attack, you immediately use your Berserk Netherworld Body, augmenting your Divine Soul Power with all your Primordial Qi and Essence Energy.]
[Unfortunately, even with this, solely relying on Secret Power System Power, you can only fight the stone statue to a standstill. It is very difficult to defeat it.]
[Three minutes later, the effect of your racial talent disappears, and your strength drops significantly.]
[You failed to defeat the stone statue, and you died.]
“Died?”
Su Nan’s heart sinks, though he’s not too surprised.
Compared to the physique series with various bloodline enhancements and the law control series that integrates Li Fire Essence, the Secret Power System can be considered the weakest of his three power systems, often used as an auxiliary force.
If he were elsewhere, the combination of his physique and law control system powers would greatly enhance the power of his secret power system.
However, in a place where only secret power is allowed, the weaknesses of this system are immediately exposed.
“The reason I can fight above my level is entirely due to the combination and stacking of the three system powers. Now, with only one type of power allowed, I have only a slight advantage over ordinary martial artists with my racial talent.”
“But, relying on racial talent alone, it is very difficult to defeat the stone statue. I’m in a difficult position now.”
Su Nan frowns and quickly considers a solution.
At this moment, he somewhat regrets not bringing his externalized body with him.
Otherwise, with the advantage of having no Divine Soul and being immune to Divine Soul attacks, he could easily restrain the stone statue.
“I definitely can’t defeat the stone statue with my own strength. I’ll have to try using external objects.”
With a thought, two items appear in his hand.
One is a broken arrow, with only half its length remaining.
The other is an incense burner the size of a baby’s skull.
The broken arrow is naturally the one obtained from the Governor Mansion’s treasure vault before. It contains the power to severely injure a Demon King and will be activated upon contact with demon blood.
The incense burner is a recently acquired Divine Dao Ritual Artifact.
Since it is no longer in its worshiping place, holding the incense burner in his hand is not dangerous. However, if touched by the Divine Soul Power, what might happen is uncertain..
