……

Thus, Wang Shouzhe invited his wife to the trial field, to eat and drink together.

With Liu Ruolan’s company, Wang Shouzhe found the meal particularly delicious.

After they had their fill of food and drink.

Wang Shouzhe began the second round of his cunning strategy.

First, he sat cross-legged, digesting his vitality and transforming it into Xuanqi. He did this until his energy and vitality were fully restored.

Then he began to plant vines. Half an hour later, many areas of the trial field were covered with vines, making it look like a lush green garden.

In addition to this, Wang Shouzhe also planted a type of grass. The juice of this grass could kill instantly upon contact with blood, and it was lethal even to those in the Qi Refining Realm.

Of course, for those in the Spirit Platform Realm, unless a large dose was administered and allowed to corrode over a long period of time, it would be difficult to kill them with this alone.

Don’t ask how Wang Shouzhe knew this.

When the Ancestor and the Spirit Turtle of his family mentioned this, they were always moved to tears.

It wasn’t until his Xuanqi was almost depleted again.

Wang Shouzhe began to eat, drink, and take medicine, meditating to replenish his energy.

This cycle repeated ten times.

By this time, the entire trial field was covered with greenery, and two days had passed.

At first, the Ancestors and the younger generation were very interested in Wang Shouzhe’s plant array and discussed it enthusiastically.

And his wife, Liu Ruolan, would occasionally join him for a meal and drink, praising his hard work.

But as time went on, everyone went to sleep.

Liu Ruolan also lost interest, mainly because it was too boring. How could her husband have such patience? In the end, she couldn’t hold on any longer and went to sleep.

This kind of fighting style was unheard of and unseen.

Only Wang Shounuo, who was assigned to stay on duty, was waiting for the results.

Fortunately, the Spirit Artifact was not a real life form. As long as Wang Shouzhe did not break the rules or leave the battle, and continued to fight, it would not interfere.

By the third day, the two demon puppets, which had been entangled by the vines for three days, met their final fate.

After Wang Shouzhe finished setting up the large array, with a movement of his spiritual sense, the vines around them grew wildly and formed a killing array.

Then they died in such a suffocating way, silently and with a strong sense of relief.

“Congratulations, Militiaman Wang Shouzhe, you have passed the second trial.” The Spirit Artifact said energetically, “You will receive a basic bloodline enhancement liquid, and be granted the title of Elite Militiaman.”

Wang Shounuo, who was on duty at the edge of the trial field, finally cheered up and said, “Everyone, come and see, Shouzhe has passed the second trial.”

His voice was filled with indescribable excitement. It was no wonder, anyone who watched a battle for several days and nights without any results would feel the same.

Then the Ancestors and the younger generation all ran out of their tents outside the trial field.

This victory was hard-won, Wang Shouzhe had been fighting for more than three days.

Even when Liu Ruolan came forward to ceremonially celebrate, she was out of breath and sounded perfunctory: “My husband is mighty, my husband is domineering~”

Wang Shouzhe didn’t mind, as long as he could win, he was willing to drag it out as long as it took. He put away the basic bloodline enhancement liquid and gave it back to Wang Luojing. This bottle of enhancement liquid would be of great help to Luojing.

Afterwards, Wang Shouzhe confidently looked at his carefully arranged vine poison array.

This was one of the tactics he had planned long ago.

Fortunately, his bloodline had already awakened twice. The growth and arrangement speed of the vines and poisonous grass had far exceeded his expectations.

That’s why he was able to complete this array in just over three days.

Otherwise, his original estimate was at least seven or eight days.

This was also why he chose to fight last, otherwise his brothers, sisters, and wives might have strangled him.

After everyone congratulated Wang Shouzhe.

Ancestor Long Yan arranged for Wang Shounuo to stay on duty, saying that they would be called when Shouzhe won again. With Shouzhe’s way of fighting, if they were to watch the battle, who knew when the results would come out?

They might as well go to sleep and cultivate.

Seeing everyone looking bored, Wang Shouzhe couldn’t help but shout: “My vine array is ready, why are you leaving?”

Then, Wang Shouzhe said: “Spirit Artifact, start the third trial.”

“As you wish, Elite Militiaman Wang Shouzhe.”

As the Spirit Artifact’s words fell.

In the middle of the trial platform, three ferocious demon puppets appeared.

But before they could make any moves, the surrounding vines grew wildly and entangled them.

And then there was no more.

This time, Wang Shouzhe drew his sword and easily decapitated them.

The whole battle lasted only about ten breaths.

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief. Could this vine array be so powerful?

Before they could recover, Wang Shouzhe had already won the third trial.

Actually, it was quite simple.

When a strong opponent of the same level is entangled and can’t move, how easy is it to behead them?

Moreover, Wang Shouzhe’s vine array was not prepared for these mere three demon puppets.

“Congratulations, Elite Militiaman Wang Shouzhe, you have passed the third trial. You will receive a standard weapon and be granted the title of Warrior.” The Spirit Artifact said, “According to my judgment, the weapon you use is a long sword. Do you choose a long sword as your standard weapon?”

“Of course not, I choose a defensive standard weapon.” Wang Shouzhe replied, “Spirit Artifact, can I choose the general shape among the defensive ones?”

He was the heir of the family, and the Zhouxuan Sword belonged to him alone. Why would he choose another sword spirit artifact?

Choosing a defensive spirit artifact was the best strategy.

“As you wish, Warrior Wang Shouzhe.” The Spirit Artifact changed its address quite quickly, “You can choose energy defense, half energy half physical defense, pure physical defense. You can also choose armor, shield, or jewelry.”Clearly, different statuses come with different treatments. The treatment of a warrior is incomparable to that of a militia.

Wang Shouzhe pondered slightly and said, “I want a shield, half energy and half physical defense.”

He had always been thinking about the spiritual artifact, the “Turtle Scale Treasure Shield”, that Ancestor Long Yan had sold.

It’s worth mentioning that he had already written a letter to Zhong Xingwang some time ago, asking him to redeem the Turtle Scale Treasure Shield at a premium.

That spiritual artifact was given by Long Yan’s master, and it held extraordinary significance to the Ancestor.

“As you wish, Warrior Wang Shouzhe.”

Then, in front of Wang Shouzhe, a spatial fluctuation occurred, and a shield about the size of a washbasin appeared before him.

It was of an ancient and heavy bronze color, decorated with many mysterious and difficult to understand runes, emitting a lively glow. It looked very delicate and solid.

Quite obviously, this was another top-grade spiritual artifact.

Wang Shouzhe received the shield and found it to be heavy in appearance but actually very light. After putting it on his left arm, he could move freely.

As soon as he infused it with his Xuan Qi, the shield radiated a green light, and the energy condensed into an energy shield. It was shaped like an arc-shaped umbrella with a diameter of more than two meters.

Once raised, it could block all attacks from the front, and with the rotation of his arm, the defense direction could be adjusted at any time.

Wang Shouzhe was very satisfied with this and quickly put away the umbrella-shaped energy shield.

It was a bit strenuous for a Qi Refining Realm to control a spiritual artifact. Just after a short while, he felt a large amount of Xuan Qi was being lost.

“My husband, give your shield a name,” Liu Ruolan suggested. Her Autumn Water Sword had a name, so it wouldn’t be fair to neglect her husband’s top-grade spiritual shield.

“Looking at your ancient and heavy appearance, yet lively and vibrant, you are obviously a spiritual shield with outstanding defense,” Wang Shouzhe pondered, “I’ll call you Pot Lid.”

“Pot Lid?” Liu Ruolan broke out in a cold sweat. Her husband’s bad taste really hadn’t changed. She couldn’t help but add, “My husband, it might develop spiritual intelligence in the future, don’t bully it.”

This was a top-grade spiritual artifact after all. Calling it a pot lid, how bad does that sound?

“Alright, if my wife is not satisfied, I’ll change it,” Wang Shouzhe said, “This spiritual shield will be the heirloom that protects our family in the future. I hope that after it develops spiritual intelligence, it will remain true to its original aspiration. Let’s call it the ‘Guardian Heart Spiritual Shield’.”

This name was not bad, and Liu Ruolan agreed.

Wang Shouzhe was originally going to start the fourth challenge immediately. But just now, after briefly using the Guardian Heart Spiritual Shield, he had consumed about one-thirtieth of his Xuan Qi.

With his personality, he naturally wasn’t in a hurry to start the fight. He took a brief rest, meditated to fully recover his Xuan Qi.

Only then did he start the fourth challenge.

After a ceremony.

A large demonic puppet appeared in the trial field.

As soon as it appeared, the surrounding vines crazily entwined towards it.

But a Spirit Platform Realm demonic puppet, how could it be so easy to deal with?

It swung its hands, its claws like blades flying up and down, cutting the vines into countless segments as soon as they got close.

It was fulfilling its loyal mission, to defeat Wang Shouzhe.

It kept killing towards Wang Shouzhe, like a demonic lawnmower, constantly cutting the vines. Wherever it passed, the remnants of the vines flew all over the sky.

The Spirit Platform Realm demonic puppet was so ferocious and domineering, which was already within Wang Shouzhe’s expectations.

The vine formation that had been set up for so long was prepared for it.

Wang Shouzhe calmly displayed his body technique, shuttling through the vines. The vines seemed to have life, giving way to him one after another. After he passed, they closed up again.

The demonic puppet was very fast, but no matter how fast it was, it had to constantly clear the vines. Its peak speed was at least 70-80% slower.

How could it catch up with Wang Shouzhe?

In addition, the demonic puppet also tried to intercept Wang Shouzhe by jumping and skimming at low altitude.

But unfortunately, it underestimated Wang Shouzhe’s vines. The long vines stretched out to five or six zhang, forming obstacles in the air, like the long hair of a demon dancing wildly.

Once it entangled the demonic puppet, it would pull it down desperately. The scene was as terrifying as it could be.

Despite the demonic puppet’s constant roaring, it was always helpless against Wang Shouzhe.

At the same time, Wang Shouzhe began to replant the cut vines or stimulate their growth again, and played a game of hide and seek with the demonic puppet in the vine forest.

Time passed little by little, and the demonic puppet became more and more irritable.

Although it was very powerful, it was not a perpetual motion machine after all. It spent most of its power entangled with the vines, struggling to chase Wang Shouzhe, constantly consuming its power.

As long as this continued, its power would eventually be gradually exhausted.

Sure enough, an hour later, the demonic puppet’s speed became slower and slower, and its explosive power was also increasingly insufficient.

And the vines were still growing crazily and entwining, causing it endless obstacles. Its scale armor also gradually showed some decay.

That was the effect of the poisonous grass. They seemed insignificant and couldn’t stop the demonic puppet’s steps at all.

But the splashing juice had already covered the demonic puppet’s body.

The poison was gradually causing a little bit of damage to the demonic puppet in a silent way.

In contrast, Wang Shouzhe always maintained his Xuan Qi at a relatively high level, so as not to exhaust it.

He occasionally took a Peiyuan Pill, and his body’s functions continuously consumed the Qi and blood in his body, gradually transforming it into Xuan Qi energy. Although the process of Xuan Qi recovery was far from as fast as meditating, it was always slowly recovering.

This was destined to be a long marathon battle.

Two hours later, only one-third of the vine formation set up by Wang Shouzhe was left. Most of the rest had been swept away by the demonic puppet, and the trial field was full of vine remnants.This was the result of Wang Shouzhe’s continuous planting of vines.

It was clear to see how terrifying the demonic puppets of the Spirit Platform realm were.

However terrifying it was, its life was coming to an end. It had exhausted nearly all of its power, and its body was rotting away, constantly being eroded by the intense poison. Its steps were faltering, and the speed at which it was cutting the grass had become extremely slow.

Gradually, the speed at which the vines were entangling it had surpassed the speed at which it was cutting the grass.

Once such a state was formed, it was time for it to meet its death.

The Ancestors who had been watching the entire battle also looked at each other with serious expressions. If they encountered a similar vine formation, they would probably not fare much better if they were trapped in it.

However, humans were ultimately humans, not the demonic puppets of the trial field.

If they encountered a similar situation, they could simply take a detour.

That demonic puppet was simply being worn down bit by bit. But the Ancestors could find a way to break out and then dust off their butts and leave. If they couldn’t play, they wouldn’t play with you!

In fact, this was also a shortcoming of Wang Shouzhe’s vine formation.

As the saying goes, there was plenty of defense but not enough offense.

However, if he reached the Spirit Platform realm and cultivated the bloodthirsty vines, the situation would be different.

Despite the many flaws of the vine formation, it had fully demonstrated its power in this trial field.

The exhausted demonic puppet was gradually entangled by countless vines and gradually buried within, no longer moving.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have drawn their sword and quickly killed it.

But Wang Shouzhe was still very patient.

There was plenty of time, and since he could trap it, he could slowly grind it to death.

Why take the risk of going forward and killing it!

In this way, another hour was spent. As Wang Shouzhe methodically continued to plant vines, allowing them to join the entangling army, the demonic puppet was finally ground to death alive.

The entire battle took three and a half hours, and the demonic puppet didn’t even touch Wang Shouzhe’s sleeve from beginning to end.

“Congratulations, warrior Wang Shouzhe, for achieving the final victory,” the Spirit Artifact said.

With the sound of the Spirit Artifact, everyone knew that the Spirit Platform mirror demonic puppet, which was buried deep in the vines, was finally dead!

At this moment.

Liu Ruolan carefully avoided the vine debris and went forward to complete the ceremony between husband and wife: “My husband is mighty, you have worked hard!”

In fact, it wasn’t so much mighty as it was a normal battle without any ups and downs of passion. The whole process was a game of hide and seek and evasion.

In the words of Ancestor Xuanfu, Wang Shouzhe was so afraid of death that he didn’t have the slightest bit of the fearless spirit of a genius.

But what about that? Wasn’t this way of fighting very safe?

Liu Ruolan’s heart was filled with a sense of security. Having such a careful and cautious husband, she didn’t have to worry about him being in danger when he was out. What a good thing!

Then.

It was time for the much-anticipated collection of spoils of war.

Without the introduction of the Spirit Artifact, Wang Shouzhe directly said, “Spirit Artifact, I want that Elemental Water Spirit Pearl.”

Naturally, this Elemental Water Spirit Pearl was given to his wife, Liu Ruolan.

“My husband, you are so good, always thinking of me,” Liu Ruolan said moved.

“My wife, you are the good one, always thinking of me.”

The couple started to show their affection as if no one else was present.

Liu Ruolei, who was watching from below the trial field, had a gloomy face.

It was better to return to the academy earlier. If she stayed here any longer, how could her young heart bear it?
