"How long would it take for a five star Mystic Martial Warrior to break through to Great Mystic Martial Master in the Five Elements Hall?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"This question is within my authority and can be answered." The stone giant said, "For those with high talent, two years.
For those with extreme talent, one and a half years! "
One and a half years?
Two or three years?
Yang Dingtian couldn't wait that long.
"Then what kind of talent would I have?" Yang Dingtian asked.
The stone giant opened his palm and gently placed it on Yang Dingtian's head, then answered, "Above the extreme."
"Then with my talent, how long would it take for me to break through to Great Mystic Martial Master?" Yang Dingtian hurriedly asked.
The stone giant calculated for a moment, then said, "One year!"
"One year at the fastest?" Yang Dingtian said.
"Yes." The stone giant said, "This is the theoretical speed of an extreme mystic vein practitioner."
One year was too long. Yang Dingtian definitely didn't have that much time.
"Can it be faster?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"Under normal mode, no." The stone giant said.
"Then what about under abnormal mode?" Yang Dingtian was delighted and hurriedly asked, "Also, what is abnormal mode?"
"Abnormal mode is death mode. It's completely similar to actual combat. The practitioner will be injured and die." The stone giant said.
"If that's the case, how long would it take for me to break through to Great Mystic Martial Master?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"For those with extreme talent, if they don't die, it would take half a year." The stone giant said.
Half a year?
Although it would still make Yang Dingtian's time very tight, he still had half a year to find the third stage of the Pig Slaying Sword Art and find the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame. There was still a sliver of hope.
"Then I'll immediately enter abnormal mode." Yang Dingtian said.
"Are you sure?"
The stone giant said, "Serious warning, if you enter abnormal mode into actual combat, your opponent will definitely not be merciful. You might be injured or die."
"I'm sure!" Yang Dingtian said.
"Please select the difficulty level of abnormal mode. Normal, Medium, Extreme, and Extreme."
The stone giant said, "If the difficulty level increases by one level, the cultivation speed will increase by 5%, but the probability of death will increase by 10%."
In the abnormal mode of normal difficulty, he could break through to Great Mystic Martial Master in half a year.
According to this calculation, if he chose the extreme difficulty, he might be able to break through to the Great Mystic Martial Master realm in around five months.
"What's the probability of dying in Normal difficulty?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"Forty-five percent!" The stone giant said.
Immediately, Yang Dingtian sucked in a deep breath of cold air.
If he chose the extreme difficulty, he might be able to break through to Great Mystic Martial Master in a little over five months, but the probability of death would rise to a shocking 75%.
"By the way, what level of cultivation do I need to reach before I can leave the Mystery Realm of the Five Elements Palace?" Yang Dingtian suddenly thought of the most important question.
"You have to be at least a Three-Star Great Mystic Martial Master before you can leave the sixth Metal Elemental Secret Room without any burden." The stone giant said.
Yang Dingtian was astonished. It turned out that breaking through to the Great Mystic Martial Master level wasn't enough. He needed to break through to the Three-Star Great Mystic Martial Master level.
In that case, it would take even more time.
"Please choose the trial difficulty." The stone giant reminded again.
Yang Dingtian fiercely clenched his teeth and said, "Extreme difficulty."
The stone giant said mechanically, "Extreme difficulty, your cultivation speed will increase by fifteen percent. Your probability of death will increase by thirty percent, reaching seventy-five percent. Do you still insist on this choice?"
"I insist on this choice." Yang Dingtian said.
Suddenly, a ray of light flashed and the stone giant slowly said, "The Mystery Realm of the Five Elements Palace has increased the trial difficulty to Extreme difficulty!"
Immediately, Yang Dingtian felt a chill run down his spine. It was as if a murderous aura surged from all around him!
… …
The so-called Combat Mode was completely different from the original.
Previously, Yang Dingtian was practicing his sword alone. Now, he had an opponent. Moreover, it was a powerful and merciless opponent.
When he arrived at the entrance of the first secret room, Yang Dingtian suddenly felt a little nervous. He didn't know what kind of opponent he would be facing.
Taking a deep breath and calming his nervous emotions, Yang Dingtian gently pushed open the door of the first Metal Elemental Secret Room.
Inside, there was an enormous room with three times the gravity. It was completely empty.
"Eh?
What's going on? "Yang Dingtian said in surprise.
Yang Dingtian took a step forward and stepped into the first secret room.
Suddenly, a ray of light flashed.
A stone giant suddenly burst out from the wall and walked down.
This was a smaller stone giant. It was about two meters tall, but it only had one head. It held a hammer in its hand.
"There's an intruder, kill the intruder!" The stone giant shouted. Then, it waved its hammer and rushed over.
Yang Dingtian was shocked. It started just like that?
Moreover, looking at how agile this stone giant was, it didn't seem to be affected by the gravity at all.
"Whoosh …" The hammer fiercely smashed over. From the strong wind, Yang Dingtian could feel that this stone giant's level was about the same as his. It was about a six-star Xuan Martial Warrior.
However, at this time, Yang Dingtian was dragged down by the three times gravity, while the stone giant was completely unaffected.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …" In the blink of an eye, the stone giant had already smashed over a dozen times. Every move was fatal. It really didn't hold back.
Yang Dingtian quickly retreated. Now, he had to avoid the stone giant's attack first.
However, it was three times the gravity here, so Yang Dingtian's retreating speed was three times slower than normal.
He couldn't avoid it at all. In the blink of an eye, the hammer had already arrived in front of him.
"Ah …" Yang Dingtian quickly raised the youngling sword and blocked the stone giant's hammer.
"Bang …" A huge force hit, and Yang Dingtian's body flew out more than ten meters.
"Puff …" A mouthful of blood spurted out. His entire right arm was completely numb after the sharp pain. It was as if there was no feeling at all. The skin above had countless cracks.
Damn this secret room. Although the stone giant in front of him was the same as Yang Dingtian, its strength was about a six-star Xuan Martial Warrior.
But the hammer it smashed out was three times the strength.
This was too deceptive!
Yang Dingtian's burden was three times heavier, his speed was three times slower, and the power of his sword was greatly reduced.
Not only was the stone giant not affected by the three times gravity, but its strength was also increased by three times. No wonder it was an extreme difficulty. This was too extreme.
So, caught off guard, Yang Dingtian was injured and vomited blood at the beginning.
Before Yang Dingtian could wipe off the blood, the stone man rushed up again, and the hammer in his hand became even more ferocious.
Yang Dingtian had two choices at this time. The first choice was to continue to avoid its sharp killing move.
The second choice was to fight with it.
A rational person would choose the first one.
However, Yang Dingtian chose the second one.
"Ah …" Yang Dingtian roared, and suddenly mobilized all the profound qi in his body. He stood on the ground like a root.
Because here was three times the gravity, dodging itself had a huge disadvantage. His speed was already three times slower, how could he dodge?
Looking at the stone giant's hammer, Yang Dingtian held the sword with both hands, aimed at the terrible hammer, and slashed with all his strength.
"Invincible …"
"Dang …" A loud sound rang out, and sparks flew everywhere.
Yang Dingtian suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his body trembled, and he retreated a few steps.
The stone giant did not know fatigue, and the hammer was still crazily smashing.
"Dang dang dang dang …" Yang Dingtian used all the strength in his body to block the stone giant's hammer.
Every move was the Invincible Sword.
After thirty swords, Yang Dingtian's body was already dripping with blood. He retreated dozens of meters, and the muscles in his hands were almost all split open.
The profound qi was completely exhausted at this time.
It was too shocking!
Previously, when he practiced alone, Yang Dingtian used a full four days to exhaust the profound qi in his body.
And under the extreme combat mode, in just thirty swords, all of Yang Dingtian's profound qi had been exhausted.
"Kill the intruder." The stone giant shouted, holding the hammer with both hands, and with the greatest strength, it suddenly smashed down on Yang Dingtian's head.
"Invincible …" Yang Dingtian used the last trace of profound qi, holding the sword with both hands to block.
"Dang …" In an instant, an incomparably powerful force drilled into Yang Dingtian's body, crazily tearing Yang Dingtian's profound veins and his internal organs.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Dingtian was about to be fatally injured.
And at this moment, a profound qi suddenly gushed out from the young sword to resist the stone giant's power, helping Yang Dingtian to block the fatal injury, even though it was only for a moment.
And taking advantage of this moment, Yang Dingtian quickly retreated, directly leaving the first secret room, and returned to the Five Elements Hall's hall.
It was finally safe. As long as he left the range of the secret room, the stone giant would not chase after him.
Yang Dingtian came to the center of the hall where the profound qi was the densest. He quickly sat down cross-legged to adjust his breathing, and then took out a medicinal pill from the spatial ring and swallowed it.
Ningning's medicinal pill was very powerful. Originally, Yang Dingtian felt that his whole body had already split open, and was in incomparable pain.
But after taking the medicinal pill, it was as if a warm power gradually spread throughout his body, and that feeling of pain gradually disappeared.
After recovering a little, Yang Dingtian immediately hugged the three hundred pound young sword in his arms, and looked at it in disbelief.
It was just a young sword, and it did not have any profound vein essence, nor did it have any sea spirit crystal.
So in theory, it could not store profound qi. But in that moment, it actually helped Yang Dingtian block the stone giant's fatal attack, and it was only for a moment.
This was really too magical!
It was just a young sword, but it actually helped its master, and saved its master.
Even though Yang Dingtian had previously sensed that there was a chaotic divine sense hidden within this youngling sword, he still treated it as a sword.
But at this moment, there was a feeling of blood connection.
Perhaps, it was really not just a sword.
Every sword spirit was a life raised by its master.
But, when this life grew up, it would become incomparably powerful.
And the young sword was no doubt like an embryo in the stomach.
It had not been born yet, but it was already a life.
"You're so ugly, I'll call you Ah Chou from now on, okay?" Yang Dingtian said.
The chaotic divine stone inside this ugly young sword seemed to be restless, but Yang Dingtian did not know if it was happy or against this name.
"No matter if you like it or not, you'll be called Ah Chou from now on.
Wait until the day you truly become a soul sword, then it will be your nirvana. "Yang Dingtian said.
Then, he hugged Ah Chou's young sword, and began to absorb profound qi.
Now, he was already familiar with the process.
Incomparably dense profound qi once again crazily poured into Yang Dingtian's profound veins. After filling up all the profound veins in his body, it converged in his sea of qi.
The already dried up sea of qi greedily devoured the pure profound qi.
Continuously devouring, devouring, devouring … …
An hour later … …
His sea of qi suddenly trembled, and slightly exploded!
With a small breakthrough, he directly broke through six star middle level Xuan Martial Warrior, and became a six star upper level Xuan Martial Warrior.
His breathing and absorbing profound qi continued.
Three hours later!
His profound qi was restless again, and his entire sea of qi suddenly expanded, expanded … …
"Boom … …" A white light flashed in his sea of qi.
Yang Dingtian's consciousness instantly went blank, and his profound veins also went blank. Everything in his body entered a temporary standstill.
After a full half a minute, everything started to return to normal.
Yang Dingtian gradually regained his consciousness, his sea of qi started to surge again, and his profound veins started to flow again.
He actually broke through again!!!
Yang Dingtian felt all this in disbelief!
He actually directly broke through seven star Xuan Martial Warrior!
Previously, he only broke through half a star after seven or eight days.
And after entering the extreme difficulty of the actual combat trial, he actually broke through the remaining half a star in less than half an hour, allowing Yang Dingtian to directly enter seven star Xuan Martial Warrior.
This secret realm was really full of bizarre things.
After the surprise, Yang Dingtian continued to absorb profound qi.
At this time, his profound veins and sea of qi once again entered a state of emptiness, and crazily absorbed profound qi again.
This time, after a full four hours, his profound veins and sea of qi were completely filled with profound qi, and his entire body once again recovered surging energy.
However, after his sea of qi had reached its limit, it only trembled slightly, and did not expand again, nor did it break through again.
However, Yang Dingtian was already very satisfied.
… …
Standing up from the ground, Yang Dingtian tightly grasped the youngling sword in his hand and said: "We're going to fight again. This time, I want to see if that stone man can still beat us into such a sorry state, and almost kill us under his hammer."
At this time, nearly ten hours had passed since Yang Dingtian was beaten half to death by the stone man.
Yang Dingtian carried the three hundred pound youngling sword, retreated from the door, and once again entered the first gold series door.
"Intruder, kill without mercy."
After a shout, the stone man suddenly split open from the wall, jumped down, and then ferociously rushed towards Yang Dingtian.
That huge hammer swung over like a bolt of lightning.
Yang Dingtian suddenly raised the heavy sword in his hand, and met the stone man's huge hammer head-on. He discovered that this thousand-pound youngling sword was actually a lot lighter in his hand.
"Clang … …" A loud sound resounded, the heavy sword and the huge hammer fiercely collided, and immediately sparks flew in all directions.
Yang Dingtian's body shook, and his arm went numb.
But that was all. Previously, Yang Dingtian was directly sent flying, and blood was violently spurting out.
And now, it was merely a shock.
And that stone man also shook fiercely, and slightly staggered for a while.
In this short confrontation, Yang Dingtian actually gained the upper hand.
He was immediately pleasantly surprised, after breaking through to seven star Xuan Martial Warrior, his power was indeed extraordinary.
Immediately after, without any hesitation, the heavy sword in his hand continued to fiercely chop down.
"Invincible … …"
"Invincible … …"
"Invincible … …"
From beginning to end, Yang Dingtian only used this move, and crazily chopped at the stone man.
His power was getting stronger and stronger, and his momentum was getting fiercer and fiercer.
Finally, this stone man couldn't resist Yang Dingtian's momentum and began to retreat.
"Break … …" Yang Dingtian suddenly roared, using all his power, aimed at the stone man's huge hammer, and fiercely chopped it down.
"Bang … …" Suddenly, that huge hammer made of an unknown material suddenly shattered.
Pig Killing Swordsmanship.
Chopping off the limbs.
Yang Dingtian's sword was like lightning, and directly cut off the stone man's legs and feet.
"Bang … …" The stone man whose limbs were broken suddenly smashed to the ground.
Pig Killing Swordsmanship, chopping off the head.
Yang Dingtian chopped down with his sword, and suddenly the stone man's incomparably hard head flew out dozens of meters away.
"Hualala … …"
At the same time, the stone man's body suddenly shattered into powder, and a gust of wind blew.
The stone man's powder, as well as the weapon's powder, was blown away cleanly, and disappeared without a trace.
Breaking through to seven star Xuan Martial Warrior was indeed powerful. Yang Dingtian directly turned defeat into victory, and directly eliminated this stone man.
There was no doubt that the first secret room trial of the metal room was over.
After smashing the stone giant, Yang Dingtian still had more than half of his profound qi left in his body. Taking a deep breath, Yang Dingtian slowly retreated to the second door.
The second door, nine times the gravity.
He didn't know what kind of powerful boss would be inside.
