……

Wang Lici was filled with sorrow.

In the past few years, every time there was a fight, she would just put on her heavy armor and make a token appearance. The main combatant was always her big tiger, Huahua.

Unexpectedly, the Spirit Artifact had teleported Huahua away.

How could she bear this?

But she didn’t have time to think too much, because the ferocious demon puppet was already charging at her. Its sharp claws swung at her fiercely, seemingly carrying a force of a thousand pounds, and making a sharp whistling sound as it cut through the air.

At this moment, Wang Lici was terrified.

She quickly raised her heavy shield and frantically infused it with her Xuan energy to increase the shield’s defensive power.

“Clang!” A loud noise echoed.

Something strange happened.

Wang Lici’s body didn’t move an inch, but the demon puppet had two of its claws broken off.

“Roar!”

The demon puppet seemed to be enraged. It roared and charged at Wang Lici again.

Its over two-meter-tall body and more than three hundred pounds of weight slammed heavily onto the shield.

“Boom!”

Unexpectedly.

Wang Lici’s body only swayed slightly.

On the contrary, the demon puppet was forced to retreat a few steps by the rebounding force.

“Huh? Is this guy’s body so weak?”

Wang Lici’s eyes under her helmet were full of confusion. She had just seen Wang Luojing and Wang Luoqiu struggling so much, she thought this demon puppet was very powerful.

Could it be a mistake? Let’s try again.

Then she held up her shield and charged forward fiercely.

“Boom!” A loud noise echoed.

The demon puppet was actually knocked flying and fell to the ground.

“Hahaha.” Wang Lici burst into wild laughter, “So I, Miss Lici, am already this powerful. You weak demon, dare to fight with me, Miss Lici. Come on, get up, let’s fight another three hundred rounds.”

The demon puppet growled lowly, actually got up, and fought with Wang Lici.

Unfortunately, its strength was far inferior to Wang Lici’s, and it was knocked flying after a few moves. Wang Lici seemed to be addicted to the fight, she threw her hammer and shield aside, and just wearing her heavy armor, she wrestled with the demon puppet barehanded.

Bang, bang, bang.

The poor demon puppet was slammed to the ground by her over and over again, looking as pitiful as a rag doll.

Such a bizarre scene left everyone dumbfounded.

Was this girl’s strength too terrifying?

Even Wang Shouzhe was somewhat taken aback. He had always known that Lici was very strong, but he didn’t expect her to have grown to this extent. He couldn’t help but feel some sympathy for the poor demon puppet.

After playing for a while, Wang Lici seemed to lose interest. She lifted the demon puppet high, and smashed it headfirst into the ground.

“Boom!”

The demon puppet’s head, along with its neck and shoulders, collided with the hard ground of the training field, and was instantly smashed to pieces, naturally losing its life.

Then.

Wang Lici stood like a peerless master, her hands behind her back, looking up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle.

She shook her head and sighed, “Ah, being invincible in the world is really lonely.”

Invincible! Invincible my foot.

Wang Shouzhe’s mouth twitched slightly. If it weren’t for the fact that his relatives were present, he would really want to grab her by the ear and give her a good lesson.

For some reason, he always felt that his niece had a natural quality of being annoying.

Then.

Naturally, the Spirit Artifact gave out the corresponding rewards and granted her the title of Militia.

“I’m so hungry after all that exercise.” Wang Lici wasn’t interested in the Heavenly Spirit Pill at all. She rubbed her stomach and muttered to herself.

Then she waved her hand, and the big tiger Huahua obediently ran over.

She took out several large pieces of pre-roasted meat from the tiger’s backpack, weighing a total of one to two hundred pounds. She weighed them, picked the smallest piece and gave it to Huahua.

A girl and a tiger started eating as if no one else was there.

The scene was as awkward as it could get.

Such an astonishing performance.

The several ancestors looked at each other. This seemingly silly girl was really too fierce, wasn’t she?

Those roasted meats were all from third-order fierce beasts, containing very rich energy. Could she digest all that she ate?

Even if the ancestors ate without restraint, their appetite was far less than hers!

No wonder that girl was so strong.

“Husband, our Lici is really full of vitality.” Liu Ruolan covered her mouth and laughed, “Her strength has increased a lot compared to before, even you are somewhat inferior.”

If it was purely a contest of strength, Wang Shouzhe might really be inferior to her.

This made Wang Shouzhe grumble secretly. I’m a human, she’s a monster in a girl’s skin, can we be the same?

“Wang Lici, have you had enough?” Wang Shouzhe said from the sidelines, “If you have time, start the next level right away.”

This girl didn’t need to rest at all, as if she had endless strength and energy.

“Fourth Uncle, I’m a girl, fighting is tiring, wait for me to finish eating.” She was eating the roasted meat in big bites, and while eating, she complained to the Spirit Artifact, “Spirit Artifact, tell me, why can’t my Huahua go up? Wang Luojing’s bugs, and the big toad can go up, this is too unfair.”

“Militia Wang Lici. There is no contract between you and this tiger-type spirit beast, and there is no trace of bloodline sacrifice, so it cannot be judged as your pet. However, Militia Wang Luojing is a Spirit Bug Master, those spirit bugs are her nurtured and sacrificed combat weapons, and the big toad is her life spirit bug, so it can be determined to be able to go up.”

With that said, Wang Shouzhe understood.

This trial field also had rules. You can’t just grab a spirit beast and claim it as your battle pet, then pretend to be a spirit pet master.

This also ruled out the possibility of Wang Shouzhe letting the Water Spirit Turtle help in the fight.

“Never mind, anyway, I, the young lady, am already invincible in the world, even without Huahua’s help.” After the previous battle, Wang Lici was full of confidence.

This was the first time she realized that she was already so powerful.

“Just let Wang Luojing and Wang Luoqiu, those two brats, see who is the real boss.” While speaking, Wang Lici had already finished eating the roasted meat in a few bites, wiped her mouth and said, “Spirit Artifact, start the next level.”

“Militia Wang Lici, as you wish.” The Spirit Artifact said.After another spatial fluctuation, two demon puppets appeared simultaneously.

This time, Wang Lici was full of confidence. She no longer avoided the fight, but actively engaged, clashing with the two demon puppets.

Her heavy shield and hammer swung with a fierce wind. Even when she was fighting two against one, she didn’t fall behind.

Such bravery from Wang Lici earned praises from the ancestors. This girl truly had unlimited potential.

The only minor issue was that her Xuanwu combat skills seemed to be quite poor.

Her moves were all whimsical, completely unstructured, simply relying on her terrifying strength and Xuanwu energy to crush her opponents.

Moreover, her heavy armor was custom-made by a blacksmith, probably weighing several hundred pounds, with key parts being thick and solid. After she infused it with Xuanwu energy, its defensive power became exceptionally outstanding.

The poor demon puppets couldn’t even break her defense.

Seeing this, Wang Shouzhe couldn’t help but start to doubt. Could it be that he had been wrong all these years?

Was the way this girl fought and cultivated the true path?

But in the blink of an eye, he dismissed this thought. Wang Lici was a monster, a humanoid beast disguised in a cute appearance. Such a fighting mode couldn’t be replicated.

From then on, the outcome of the battle was clear.

The two demon puppets were smashed into pieces by her heavy hammer. She easily passed the second stage, received her reward, and earned the title of elite militia.

With this, Wang Lici became even more cocky: “Hahaha, I, Miss Lici, am the true invincible champion. Wang Luojing, Wang Luoqiu, do you admit defeat?”

This irritated Wang Luojing and Wang Luoqiu, who turned their heads away, not wanting to look at her. You’re several years older and at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, what’s there to be cocky about?

After receiving her reward, Wang Lici rubbed her belly and said, “Hua Hua, I’m starving. Bring me some food.”

Then, to everyone’s astonishment, she pulled out a pile of roasted meat and a fat tiger, and began to eat heartily.

Even Ancestor Xuanfu’s eyes widened in surprise. This girl could really eat! Long Yan, it must not be easy for your family to raise this child.

Wang Shouzhe was also shocked, thinking to himself, the older and more advanced in cultivation his niece got, the more she could eat.

How was this like a bottomless pit?

He could hardly afford to keep her.

Then Wang Shouzhe sneakily glanced at Ancestor Xuanfu, and began to ponder. He heard that the Purple Mansion Academy not only provided resources for core disciples, but also covered their food and accommodation.

He should find an opportunity to send Lici to the academy.

This was a good idea, the more Wang Shouzhe thought about it, the better it seemed.

Yes, that’s settled.

Suddenly, Ancestor Xuanfu felt a chill, a bad premonition creeping up.

Meanwhile, after eating her fill, Wang Lici began the third stage.

As Ancestor Long Yan had said, the third stage involved three demon puppets. Once the number of any species increased, it would cause a qualitative change.

The three demon puppets obviously put some pressure on Wang Lici. They moved and attacked like a pack of wolves, executing various tactics.

Their sharp claws left scratches on Wang Lici’s battle armor.

Such a despicable tactic infuriated Wang Lici.

“I, Miss Lici, am not a sick cat if I don’t show my power.”

Just as one of the demon puppets was sneak attacking from behind, she suddenly threw her battle hammer backwards.

The hammer spun and whistled away.

“Boom!”

The hammer hit the demon puppet’s chest, killing it instantly!

Then Wang Lici also threw her heavy shield. The shield spun horizontally in the air, whistling sharply.

“Splat!”

A demon puppet couldn’t dodge in time and was cut in half.

With this, there was no suspense left in the battle.

Wang Lici easily won the fight.

Impressive!

She was the first among the young people who came to trial to pass three stages in a row.

The younger generation was full of envy and admiration, and even the ancestors praised her.

The Wang’s Clan had produced a rare talent.

This child’s promotion to the Spirit Platform Realm was a sure thing, and her future was limitless.

Only Wang Luojing and Wang Luoqiu, after exchanging glances, stared at Wang Lici with burning eyes, as if their fighting spirit had been ignited.

They were both proud young prodigies, how could they easily admit defeat?

And they were full of confidence that when they reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, they could easily pass three stages as well.

Meanwhile.

The Spirit Artifact said, “Elite Militia Wang Lici, congratulations on passing the third stage. You are rewarded with a standard weapon and your status is promoted to Warrior.”

Now, both Ancestor Long Yan and Wang Shouzhe were very interested. Warrior, standard weapon, these were all new terms.

The Spirit Artifact explained, “Because Warrior Wang Lici’s main weapon is a battle hammer, do you choose a hammer weapon?”

“Hammer, I want a hammer. It’s so cool to use a hammer.” Wang Lici said without hesitation. In fact, the truth was, she couldn’t use any other weapons.

If she didn’t use a hammer, was she supposed to use a sword to embroider?

Then the Spirit Artifact didn’t waste any more words with her.

After a spatial fluctuation, “clang!”

A battle hammer suddenly appeared out of thin air and smashed heavily onto the ground.

It even made a hole in the extremely hard trial platform.

The hammer looked ordinary, its body was dark, emitting a rich spiritual light, looking as if it had a high level of spirituality.

The ancestors’ faces changed, “This is…”

“A high-grade spiritual weapon!!”

Judging from such intense spiritual light, there was no doubt that this was a high-grade spiritual weapon.

The ancestors were shocked and filled with unspeakable jealousy and envy.

Some of the ancestors from smaller clans didn’t even have a spiritual weapon.

But even if they had spiritual weapons, most of them were low-grade, and only a few could reach the middle-grade level.

The entire Wang’s Clan currently owned three spiritual weapons.

Among them, the “Zhou Xuan Sword” was a middle-grade spiritual weapon, while the Long Yan Sword and the Purple Gold Bowl were only low-grade spiritual weapons.The sudden appearance of a high-grade spirit artifact was a shocking and enviable event.

What’s more, the Spirit Artifact claimed that it was a standard weapon.

This showed how powerful the Shenwu Dynasty was at its peak!

Upon seeing the war hammer, Wang Lici was overjoyed and grabbed it, “This hammer looks fierce, I like it. Eh, why is it so heavy?”

She then grabbed the handle with both hands and exerted a great deal of force to barely lift it, even her walk started to wobble.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Everyone had seen Wang Lici’s strength, and few in the Qi Refining Realm could compare to her. With her strength, even lifting something weighing three thousand jin should be relatively easy.

Just how heavy was this war hammer? Five thousand jin, or six thousand jin?

Seeing her struggle, Liu Ruolan couldn’t bear it and said, “Lici, with your current strength, I guess you can’t use this hammer. Let your fourth aunt keep it for you.”

“Thank you, fourth aunt.” Wang Lici obediently said.

Then, Liu Ruolan waved her hand and put the war hammer into her storage ring.

It had to be said that the usefulness of the storage ring was demonstrated in this situation. It was only limited by volume, not by weight.

The ancestors all looked at the storage ring with envy. Although everyone had made a fortune with Wang Shouzhe, buying a storage ring was still too extravagant at the moment.

“Lici, rest for a while and then try the fourth level.” Liu Ruolan said, “This challenge game is quite interesting, I can’t wait.”

Liu Ruolan was originally not very interested in this trial, she came to help her husband, but now she found it quite interesting.

“Yes, fourth aunt.” Wang Lici obediently said, she knew very well who was the real decision-maker at home.

Then Wang Lici rested for a while, eating and drinking, before she put on her gear and said to the Spirit Artifact that she wanted to participate in the next level.

“Warrior Wang Lici, as you wish.”

Then, with a wave of spatial fluctuations, a terrifying demon puppet over ten feet tall appeared.

Its size was much larger than the previous demon puppets, its scales were like solid armor, emitting a dark glow. Its eyes were cold and cruel.

As soon as it appeared, a powerful oppressive aura enveloped the entire field.

All the young people in the Qi Refining Realm present changed their faces, feeling as if they were facing a formidable enemy or a peerless beast.

Wang Shouzhe’s pupils shrank, was this a joke?

Wasn’t the fourth level supposed to have four demon puppets?

This, this thing, was a Spirit Platform Realm demon puppet, right?

Which Qi Refining Realm could beat it?

Wang Lici, who was the first to bear the brunt, was also dumbfounded as she looked at the huge demon puppet.

Tears were about to fall, was the Spirit Artifact teasing Miss Lici?

…
