……

Unfortunately, Wang Luoqiu spoke quite loudly, and Wang Shouzhe heard everything.

Immediately, he glared at her irritably, as if she herself didn’t usually learn from him.

One was his fifth sister, the other his sixth, both of them were quite a handful.

However, Luoqiu was in the middle of a trial, so Wang Shouzhe focused his attention on her.

A new demonic puppet appeared, its aura chilling as it charged towards Wang Luoqiu.

Wang Luoqiu’s expression remained as cold as ever. She put down the box on her back and without engaging with it, she lightly tapped her feet and flew out like a butterfly. Her skirt fluttered in the air, her posture was quite beautiful.

At some point, a bug flute appeared in her hand. She placed it horizontally on her lips and began to play. A high-frequency sound that was very harsh to human ears rang out.

From the box she had placed on the ground, a swarm of purple crystal bees buzzed out with a “hum”.

Each of them was the size of a date, their bodies radiating a purple crystal light, and the stingers at their tails were clearly visible.

A swarm of two to three hundred purple crystal bees, like a dark cloud covering the sun, swarmed towards the demonic puppet.

These were second-tier purple crystal bees, which were vastly different from the tiger-headed bees.

Moreover, within the swarm of purple crystal bees, there was one that was exceptionally large, the size of a fist, the queen of the purple crystal bees. A swarm commanded by a queen bee had incomparable combat power.

Such a swarm had an overall strength reaching the peak of the second tier.

Even a peak Qi Refining practitioner would not dare to face it head-on, and would most likely choose to avoid it.

The demonic puppet, although named as such, was ultimately made from the flesh and blood of demons, its body structure no different from wild demons.

The swarm entangled it, their poisonous stingers constantly stabbing into its body.

The demonic puppet was not adept at dealing with swarms, it could only rely on the force of its swinging claws to barely kill some of the purple crystal bees.

Despite the puppet’s strong resistance to poison, it couldn’t withstand the sheer number of bees, and the accumulated poison began to take effect.

Its speed became slower and slower, and in a battle against a Bug Master, once the speed slowed down, it was almost a death sentence.

Having gained the upper hand, Wang Luoqiu calmly maneuvered, determined not to engage in close combat with the demonic puppet.

In the end, after losing dozens of purple crystal bees.

The demonic puppet didn’t even touch her skirt before it fell to the ground and couldn’t get up.

The ease with which she won this battle left everyone looking at each other in disbelief. Truly worthy of a Bug Master, her combat power was terrifying.

Moreover, a Bug Master’s combat was almost without danger, there was no need to engage in close combat with the enemy.

All she needed to do was keep her distance and let the bugs kill the enemy.

Such a unique fighting style naturally made everyone envious and jealous. While congratulating Wang Luoqiu on her victory, discussions began to arise.

Ancestor Ruhong frowned and said, “Bug Masters are rare dual-professionals in both life and combat, there are only a few in the entire Changning Guard.”

“Don’t get any wild ideas, moreover, a Bug Master’s combat power is all accumulated over time, naturally different from other Xuanwu practitioners.”

What Ancestor Ruhong said made a lot of sense.

It was obviously not easy for Wang Luoqiu to cultivate top-tier purple crystal bees, losing dozens of them would be enough to make her heartache for a while.

However, the final reward was very generous.

The Spirit Artifact said, “Congratulations on passing the trial, what’s your name?”

“Wang Luoqiu.”

“Very good, Wang Luoqiu. You’ve passed the first round, you can get a consolation prize, but you have to accept the identity of a militia of the Shenwu Dynasty.”

Naturally, Wang Luoqiu would not refuse.

Soon, she received a Heavenly Spirit Pill and a Militia Token.

Then she obediently rested to recover her Xuanqi. Only after her Xuanqi and spirit were fully recovered did she start the second battle.

But in the second round, with two demonic puppets working together, the situation was different.

They could execute pincer attacks and encirclement tactics.

Immediately, Wang Luoqiu was in a dangerous situation, several times she was in danger, which made her unable to calm down and command the spirit bees.

“This is troublesome.” Wang Shouzhe’s face was somewhat solemn, even the same tactic, when facing a different number of enemies, became very different.

Rip!

One of the demons swung its claw, tearing Wang Luoqiu’s skirt and leaving a bloody gash on her waist.

“Luoqiu, give up.” Wang Shouzhe shouted, “When you reach the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, you’ll definitely be able to beat them.”

He was very supportive, but no matter how supportive, he couldn’t support a dead person.

This kind of unwinnable battle that stubbornly persisted could easily result in instant death.

Unexpectedly, after being injured, Wang Luoqiu’s eyes flashed with a cold anger: “Damn demonic puppets, making my fourth brother worry, you all deserve to die!”

A strange aura began to permeate her body, her eyes covered with a layer of mysterious color.

Not good, Wang Shouzhe’s heart skipped a beat, just as he was about to stop her.

But he heard a “croak~”

It was the sound of a toad, the sound was deep and ear-shaking, like a wild bull roaring in the wilderness.

In Wang Luoqiu’s slender palm, there was now a palm-sized red toad. Although it was small, it exuded a hot and terrifying aura.

“This is…” Ancestor Xuanfu’s face changed slightly, “A Red Bull Fire Toad!? Where did this girl get it?”

Red Bull Fire Toad?

Wang Shouzhe was slightly confused, obviously he had never heard of this name, but soon Wang Luoqiu showed him the power of the Red Bull Fire Toad.

Wang Luoqiu opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of essence blood, which dyed the Red Bull Fire Toad red. It immediately croaked even more excitedly.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the Red Bull Fire Toad grew in the wind, transforming into a giant toad the size of a calf. It was covered in fire, its large and bulging eyes radiating fervor and excitement.”Luojing.” Wang Shouzhe’s face slightly changed, just as he was about to take action, he was stopped by Ancestor Xuanfu, “Be careful not to go over, that girl is using the blood essence technique to connect her mind with the Red Toad. It’s extremely taboo to be disturbed. Moreover, her emotions are unstable now, very dangerous.”

“Damn demon, die.” Wang Luojing scolded, a terrifying aura emerged in her eyes, and her long hair actually floated up one by one.

“Croak!”

The Red Toad roared, opened its mouth and spewed out a flame. The flame was different from ordinary flames, it had a bizarre and enchanting red color, forming a fire dragon in the midst of its strangeness.

The enchanting flame fell on the demon puppet, instantly igniting it.

Sizzle!

The demon puppet rolled around but couldn’t extinguish the flame at all. In just seven or eight breaths of time, it was burned into a pile of black bones.

Such terrifying flames made Wang Shouzhe gasp in shock.

“This is the Fire Poison Red Flame.” Ancestor Xuanfu’s eyes were filled with dread, “Once it touches even a bit, it’s extremely difficult to extinguish. It also has a heart-attacking fire poison, it’s one of the famous evil flames. Long Yan, where did this girl get such a terrifying evil creature like the Red Toad? She even refined it into her life Gu! Is she trying to kill herself?”

Ancestor Long Yan’s eyes were also extremely solemn: “I’m afraid this is the doing of Luojing’s master. Seven or eight years ago, Zhou Changfeng came to our door, saying that he wanted to take Luojing as his disciple and would definitely teach her everything he knew. So Shouzhe and I agreed.”

“Zhou Changfeng? The Spirit Insect Master who has been worshipped by the Changning Government for many years, who came from a loose cultivator background?” Ancestor Xuanfu said angrily, “He’s got a lot of nerve, actually practicing the path of witch Gu, we’ll settle accounts with him later.”

Ancestor Long Yan slightly frowned and didn’t say much, but watched the battlefield vigilantly. She instructed, “Shouzhe, as soon as the battle is over, you must immediately go to take care of Luojing.”

“Yes, Ancestor.”

Wang Shouzhe responded, in fact, without Ancestor Long Yan’s instructions, he was ready to enter the battlefield at any time to rescue Wang Luojing.

With the appearance of the Red Toad, the battle had become one-sided. Another demon puppet also couldn’t resist the Fire Poison Red Flame and was burned into a pile of bones.

At the same time.

Wang Luojing’s face was extremely pale, her eyes closed, and she fell backward. The Red Toad also instantly shrank to the size of a palm and jumped into Wang Luojing’s arms.

Wang Shouzhe quickly flew up and caught Luojing, his blue mysterious energy crazily surged into her body. His powerful healing ability finally made Wang Luojing recover a bit, she opened her weak eyes and said, “Fourth Brother, Luojing won’t disgrace you.”

“You silly girl.” Wang Shouzhe scolded, “You don’t cherish yourself at all. I’ve told you, we can always come back.”

“Fourth Brother, Luojing doesn’t want to drag you down.” After saying this, she closed her eyes, not daring to look at Wang Shouzhe anymore.

Wang Shouzhe wanted to scold her a few more times, but seeing her pale little face and her exhausted look, he naturally held back his words. Moreover, he knew that Luojing had always been very stubborn since she was a child, and simple preaching wouldn’t work on her.

He carefully carried Luojing back and began to treat her carefully.

At the same time, he took the opportunity to ask Ancestor Xuanfu: “Ancestor, is this path of witch Gu a forbidden technique?”

“It can’t really be considered a forbidden technique.” Ancestor Xuanfu said solemnly, “But the academy does not advocate practicing such evil techniques. Anyone who practices the path of witch Gu must report to the academy. That Zhou Changfeng, a mere loose cultivator, I don’t know where he got the secret manual of witch Gu, and he even has a Red Toad, we need to get to the bottom of this.”

“As long as it’s not a forbidden technique, that’s good.” Wang Shouzhe sighed in relief.

“Shouzhe, you need to talk to this girl.” Ancestor Long Yan also looked a bit annoyed, “This Red Toad is already very powerful, it’s not something her slight spiritual sense can control. It’s extremely dangerous for her to forcefully drive it with her blood essence.”

Ancestor Long Yan was also a bit helpless, Luojing respected her on the surface, but in reality, she only listened to her fourth brother, Wang Shouzhe.

“Yes, Ancestor.” Wang Shouzhe obediently replied, “If her cultivation is not enough in the future, if she dares to drive the Red Toad again, I will spank her.”

He knew that Wang Luojing was pretending to be unconscious, and she could hear his words. Saying this to her was more effective than saying it directly.

Sure enough, her petite body shivered, and her face turned red.

Fortunately, Wang Shouzhe’s healing ability was strong, and in a short while, Wang Luojing had recovered a lot, but she couldn’t even think about the next battle.

Even so, the Spirit Artifact presented a bottle of primary bloodline improvement liquid and an elite militia token.

“Wang Luojing, you’re so childish.” At this time, Wang Luoqiu came over and teased, “Do you think you can beat me with this Red Toad?”

“Hmph.” Wang Luojing, who had recovered a bit, snorted coldly, “If it weren’t for Fourth Brother not allowing me to use it, I would definitely show you how powerful it is.”

Seeing that they were about to start arguing again, Wang Shouzhe immediately stopped them: “Both of you, shut up.”

These two sisters were really not easy to deal with, always giving him a headache.

Wang Luojing didn’t continue to argue with Wang Luoqiu, but handed her bottle of primary bloodline improvement liquid to Wang Shouzhe, saying, “Fourth Brother, you should use my bottle.”

Uh…

Only then did Wang Shouzhe understand, no wonder Luojing was so desperate. In her little mind, she didn’t want Wang Shouzhe to use Wang Luoqiu’s bottle.

This made him break out in a cold sweat, this little devil, she’s too cunning.

Wang Luoqiu raised her eyebrows, crossed her arms and snorted coldly: “Childish ghost.”

“Rude girl.” Wang Luojing replied indifferently.

“Alright, alright, both of you take a break.” At this time, Wang Lici stood up, acting like the big sister, “You two have won two rounds, which is not bad. You haven’t let down my teachings as Miss Lici.”

Then Wang Luoqiu and Wang Luoqing both rolled their eyes at her. This girl was indeed talented, but her actual combat power… whether she could pass the second stage was still a big question.

Ignoring them, Wang Lici walked onto the trial platform with her hands behind her back, strutting confidently.

As Wang Lici made her appearance, all eyes were drawn to her.

She stood there, posing like a peerless expert, and then whistled.

Immediately, a fat tiger ran towards her. Whether it was because it was too fat or the load on its back was too heavy, the tiger seemed to be panting heavily as it ran.

Wang Shouzhe couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. When he first saw this little tiger, it was agile and ran like the wind, catching spirit mice with ease.

But as it grew, it became fatter. If this continued, Wang Shouzhe began to doubt its hunting abilities.

“Huahua, you’ve worked hard,” Wang Lici patted the tiger’s head, “For helping me carry my equipment all the way, I’ll deduct 500 Top Gold from your debt.”

Huahua was very happy and rubbed its head against Wang Lici. It had no idea how much Top Gold it owed.

Wang Lici took off a large package from its back, which contained her full set of equipment. A carefully crafted full-body armor, a giant hammer, and a heavy shield.

After putting on her equipment, Wang Lici transformed into a heavily armored warrior and said to the Spirit Artifact, “I, Wang Lici, initiate the trial.”

Unexpectedly.

The Spirit Artifact replied, “Commoner, your name is meaningless. As you wish, the trial has begun. Also, please have the irrelevant tiger leave the trial platform.”

“What?” Wang Lici exclaimed, “Why? Luoqing’s bugs and that big toad can be used, why can’t my battle pet?”

Before the Spirit Artifact could answer, a wave of spatial fluctuation occurred, and a demon puppet attacked her.

At the same time, the big tiger Huahua was enveloped by an invisible energy and thrown off the trial platform, its face full of confusion.

Poor Wang Lici, facing the ferocious demon puppet alone, was on the verge of tears.

When was the last time Miss Lici had a one-on-one fight?

“Spirit Artifact! I…&&$#$”
